WELCOME TO WORLD CUP XXIX, HOSTED BY KRYTENIA AND CASARI.

Squads, rosters, call them what you will. Place your chosen men/women/dwarves/miscellaneous here.

Playing style modifiers, with a range from -2 to +2, will be used for this tournament. A +2 formation is a more attacking style, while a -2 is more defensive. The default style is a balanced 0. Any higher or lower numbers will be set to +2 or -2, as our scorinator can't handle any numbers outside that range.

When posting a roster, you should tell other nations what they have permission to do to your players, should the other nation post their RP first. A sample list is provided below. If a list isn't posted, it is assumed that all answers to the questions are "yes."

My opponent, if they RP first, may do the following:

Ariddia will play with a +2 style modifier. And will perform the traditional ulek (http://ns.goobergunch.net/wiki/index.php/Ulek) at the start of every match, in case there's anyone here who doesn't know that yet.

Ariddia has five stadia to host home matches: Stade National Rêvane-Sud, Wavecrest City Stadium, Haven-Port-Nouveau Stadium, Darras Olympic Stadium (in the vicinity of Rêvane), and the Arctic National Stadium. If you RP before me, feel free to choose one. The Arctic National Stadium is located in the Ariddian Arctic Islands (http://ns.goobergunch.net/wiki/index.php/Ariddian_Arctic_Islands), not in Ariddia itself, and is likely not to be used much. But if you want to roleplay your team's boots sticking solid to frozen grass...

Haraki Hawks coach Lloyd Vargas has announced the lineup for World Cup XXIX. Featured are two U21 stars who distinguished themselves during the pre-World Cup Draggonnii Inviyatii tournament. Still, neither manage to take a starting spot. Also this year, besides seeing the player's name, position and football club, you can also see the world cup year in which they first premiered internationally.

The Hawks will be playing with a +2 modifier for this tournament.


#10 - Mike Zendar – Forward (Right striker), Captain, national superstar – Kiros Tigers FC – WC27
A national hero and all-round great player, he has the best kick in all of Haraki. With a total of twenty-eight goals in international play, he has scored almost three times as many goals as any other Harakian player. He’s a great leader and a superb offensive player, which is why he gets to be captain of the team. Rumours abound that, due to his age – he will turn 41 during qualifying – this may be the last World Cup he ever plays in, but he has dismissed them for now.
#11 - Matthew Thompson – Forward (Left striker) – Uses Coast Football Club – WC28
Uses Coast’s star player was the secondary reserve forward for WC28, and saw very little play time, most spectacularly one failed game when Sharp and Ribald were both out sick. However, over the two years since that Cup, he has taken another dramatic upswing, winning the ‘Most Improved Player’ title in the HFL two years running. He ranked fourth in the league for overall goals over the past season, and it seems long-time coach Lloyd Vargas has decided to place him in as Haraki’s left-side forward.
#15 - (R) Alicia Ribald – Forward – Arkia Serpents FC – WC27
One of the two Ribald sisters, who have taken Harakian football by storm. The older of the two, she is an aggressive offensive player who can handle the ball past anyone in Haraki club play. With a fierce sense of national pride, many have speculated that, had Haraki taken a standard 3-4-3 setup, she would have been the third forward.
#12 - (R) Samuel Sharp – Forward – North Susa FC – WC27
Sharp is one of the most experienced players on the World Cup team, having been a starting forward for the Hawks since the WC27 Baptism of Fire, and having started nearly every game since then, except when, for medical reasons, he could not. However, over the past two years he has been slipping. He scored only three goals in all of World Cup 28, and a series of injuries over the last season including a broken toe which he recovered from only to be smashed in the face with a ball and suffer a broken nose. He has stated for the record that this will be the last Cup he participates in, and he will retire from international play afterwards. He may still see a lot of field time due to his long-standing presence on the team.

#5 - Thomas Neils – Centre (Right defending midfield) – North Susa FC – WC27
One of the older players on the team, Neils is an excellent team player. His passing is second to none, allowing him to drop the ball wherever it needs to be at the drop of a hat. He has the most assists of any player ever in the Harakian Football League, and is widely considered the best supporting player ever to come out of Haraki. As with Zendar and Sharp, rumours abound that he may retire soon, which he has not taken the opportunity to deny, leading them to gain momentum.
#7 - Richard Weber – Centre (Right attacking midfield) – North Susa FC – WC28
After only one World Cup, Weber was already tied for third most goals of any Harakian player in international play. This year, he’s going for the second-most title, and eventually hopes to claim the highest count. He plays for the best football club in the nation, and is one of their star players, scoring the second most goals in the last season, twenty-one goals behind Mike Zendar. Everyone in Haraki is certain he’s going to be a force in Harakian football for years to come.
#9 - Samantha Ribald – Centre (Left attacking midfield) – Arkia Serpents FC – WC27
The second and youngest of the Ribald sisters, she is not quite as aggressive as her sister, but still a dangerous opponent. She has been a starting midfield since the team’s return to international play, and is still only in her late twenties, giving her plenty of time to maintain her status. She has stated in press conferences that she is planning on staying on the team for quite some time.
#8 - Julie Vern – Centre (Centre attacking midfield) – Arkia Serpents FC – WC27
A young woman, whose parents were immigrants to Haraki. She grew up in the port city of Arkia, playing football with herself on the streets. As such, she is the best ball handler on the entire team, and can run faster than any other player on the Haraki Hawks while maintaining control of the ball. A reservist for WC27, she was made a starter for WC28 after her outstanding ball handling led to overwhelming Harakian possession in multiple games throughout the previous World Cup. She proved her worth then, as Haraki qualified for the Cup for the first time since World Cup 10.
#17 - Theo Angelica – Centre (Left defending midfield) – Unsigned – WC29
Only nineteen years old, Angelica is displaying amazing talent and has been made a starter for Haraki’s U21 side, who are currently the defending champions. He shows great talent as an offensive midfield, with a good shooting and passing foot and excellent agility that allows him to dodge opposing players for scoring runs.
#6 - (R) Luke Ford – Centre – Arkia Serpents FC – WC27
Luke Ford was a starting midfield for WC27, a reservist for WC28, and has now made his way back onto the starting rotation due to the absence of Manuel Cortes from the team. Ford is small, fast, and an enforcer for the team. He is in the top three players in the Haraki Football League (HFL) for penalties, and while not a great scorer, can still pull off some good shots, and a lot of good passes.
#18 - (R) Sam Daily – Centre – Leopards – WC29
The descendant of some of Haraki’s first settlers, Daily is a good all-round player. He’s tough with good stamina and a good kick on him. Excels at heading the ball or hitting it with any part of him except his hands. The accuracy from his kick lets him send balls straight into opponents’ faces as well as the net.
#13 - (R) Allison Keyes – Centre – Uses Coast Football Club – WC27
An ardent feminist and fast offensive midfield, Allison Keyes is a strong all-round player, although mostly on the offence. She’s been playing for the Uses Coast football club for seven years even after getting a four-year degree from the University of Kiros, granting her a certain veteran’s right on and off the field.
#14 - (R) Catherine Veritas Ezaniea – Centre – Caltis Football Club – WC27
The highlight of the Caltis Football Club, widely regarded as the worst big-city team in Haraki. She scores most of their goals and prevents more goals from being scored than the goalkeeper does. Unsurprisingly, she is the only player on the Hawks representing Caltis FC. Scored a goal against Starblaydia in her very first-ever international game.

#4 - Jonah Menike – Defence (Left defender) – Kiros Tigers FC – WC27
Plays on the same team as Haraki superstar Mike Zendar, and was originally slated as a reservist for WC27. He was brought in after Owen Peterson was injured in the first BoF game, and in numerous games was single-handedly responsible for keeping the ball out of the Harakian end. Fast, nimble, and with a quick and powerful kick, he is Haraki’s best defenceman.
#2 - Werner Vittenbach (Right defender) – Defence – Lake Lidane FC – WC28
Born of immigrant parents, Vittenbach managed to get a slot on one of Haraki’s worst football club teams just this season, hoping to break out and be signed to a better team. He displays excellent speed, agility and passing, although his shooting could use some work. Very young and energetic, and one of the youngest members on the team at twenty-four, having gotten a four-year degree from the University of Atherlon before signing to Rion Area FC. After showing amazing prowess for Division 3’s Rion Area, he was signed to Lake Lidane FC. Was a reserve defender for WC28 before getting a starting spot this year due to the retirement of two of Haraki’s starters.
#3 - Rebecca Disano – Defence (Centre-back defender) – Isasi Warriors – WC29
Replacing Bruce Forrester is Rebecca Disano, also of the Isasi Warriors. Although not as big as some defenders, she is best known for a spectacular save during the latest season in which, after faking out the goalkeeper, the opposition forward firing a surefire goal, but half a metre before it would have rolled across the line she slid in and kicked it away, gaining her a standing ovation from the home crowd.
#20 - (R) Alexandra Peterson – Defence – [Gorneth Heights] Blues – WC29
The daughter of former Hawks’ defender Owen Peterson, she was brought onto the team after Gary Willis was removed from it for abysmal play. She’s all-round good, with her foremost attribute being her sharp mind. She can predict what play is coming or where a shot will be going and be there to stop it from creating a scoring chance.
#21 - (R) Daniel Halner – Defence – Haelis Knights – WC29
Making his first appearance in international play is the twenty-year old Daniel Halner, who shows great talent in all aspects of defensive play, especially clearing kicks. He is expected to see a lot of play if Vargas feels the need to replace any defender.

#16 - Christopher O’Hara – Goalkeeper – Unsigned – WC29
Haraki’s U21 goalkeeper, the absolutely spectacular Chris O’Hara is also joining the national team this year, making him the youngest player ever to join the Harakian national team, at only seventeen years old. He’s not even out of high school yet, and thus also hasn’t signed to a club team. But his exposure in not only the U21 team but also the Hawks themselves should make him well-fought over. Analysts expect the side that gets him to have a sudden upturn in both attendance and performance.
#1 - (R) Mark Stone – Goalkeeper – North Susa FC – WC27
The HFL’s best goaltender, far and away. Just in the time he has been in the HFL for the North Susa club, he has taken them to five final games and won four of them. Holds the records for both least goals allowed by a keeper and most shutouts in the HFL. He has played nearly every game for the Hawks since WC27’s Baptism of Fire.
#19 - (R) Susana Hamilton – Goalkeeper – Arkia Serpents FC – WC27
Another good footballer to come out of the streets of the port city of Arkia, where poverty levels have risen so dramatically over the last thirty years that she came from the exact same background as reserve midfield Julie Vern. Has only ever played only one game in international play, versus Imperial Moose, after Stone was incapacitated in a red card-worthy attack, and allowed only one goal past her against a fierce offence.

Coach – Lloyd Vargas – North Susa FC – WC27
Once a star player for the North Susa football club, which has historically been one of the best teams in the country, he retired at age thirty-six and has been coaching North Susa ever since. He’s taken them to five championship games and four victories in the seven years he’s been coaching them, and now has been appointed the head coach for the Haraki Hawks. He will probably keep on coaching the national team until he retires from coaching as well, which is a long way in the future.



Notable changes from last year's cup are:

On offence, Matthew Thompson and Samuel Sharp switched places due to a series of injuries suffered by Sharp during season play, and Thompson's rapid improvement as a player. Apparently Alicia Ribald got angry she wasn't chosen as the new starter due to seniority. Samuel Sharp has stated this will be his last Cup, and that he will be retiring from international play soon after.

In the midfield game, star player Manuel Cortes was banned from the Cup after deliberately provoking an on-field fight with another player when his team was losing in the playoffs. He was suspended until the next season, which included the World Cup. Lloyd Vargas had a campaign running to allow him off his suspension to play, since he has scored the most goals of any Harakian player other than Mike Zendar in international play, but he was denied. Cortes has stated that he will fly to see every one of Haraki's games. Luke Ford, a starter from WC27 and reservist for WC28, will be taking Cortes' spot on the field. Reservist Lawrence Foster - starter for WC27 - retired from football altogether to spend more time with his family. Replacing these two on the bench are Theo Angelica, from Haraki's U21 team, and Sam Daily from the [South Shance] Leopards.

Defensively the Hawks received the biggest shakeup, after Bruce Forrester retired from football between seasons, and Sandy Thorpe suddenly quit one day to become a landscaping engineer. Reservist Nathan Rogers, who saw almost no play time during his two World Cups - 27 and 28 - didn't make the team at all, and reservist Werner Vittenbach was promoted to starter, along with Jonah Menike, who maintained his position. Defenceman and chef Gary Willis of the Vidaen Whites will be the Hawks' third starter, with the two reservists being Rebecca Disano and Daniel Halner, both talented defenders who should be expected to see some time on the field.

Bobbie Morris will not be joining the team as second reserve goalkeeper this year, as Haraki's prodigy U21 goalkeeper will be taking over as the primary reservist. Christopher O'Hara has seen no time playing for clubs and very little time playing for international teams, but has taken over as the U21 team's starting goalkeeper and will be the Hawks' primary reservist for this Cup, relegating Susana Hamilton to secondary reserve. O'Hara, at only seventeen years old now, should be expected to make a big splash in later years.

Head Coach Jason Bourne of Rockport AC will be the Head Coach for Qazox this time around, and he'll have the Black Oxen play a +2 style with an aggressive 4-2-4 formation.

One of the few survivors of Tom Hall's purge of the national team, Bloudin is quickly becoming what everyone hoped of him: a mature leader whose skills on and off the field are examples that all players should be following. Along with Mackallen, Kavanagh and Kellen Markoff, they are the only players to remain from the squad who came this close to winning qualification for the first time in decades.
11 - Jonathan Kavanagh, Vancouver FC*
Age: 26 Nationality: Canadian
Skills: ball control, accuracy
Another part of the devastating offense that helped push the Stars the closest they've ever come post-isolation to qualification, Kavanagh is looking at a new landscape as one of the few veterans of the team. With only one International competition under his belt, it will be interesting to see how he handles the pressure expected of him
03 – Christopher Landry, Hearts United
Age: 29 Nationality: Welsh
Skills: hard working, patient
Christopher Landry was just as surprised as most pundits were to discover that he had been chosen as the third striker for the Cup of Harmony. Not to say, that the call up was undeserved. Landry has been noted for his ridiculously hard work ethic and patience on the attack, which as gotten him quiet fame around Hearts United fanatics, but little recognition outside the team.

Midfielders
07 – Quentin Mackallen, Graham City FC * C
Age: 32 Nationality: Scottish
Skills: physical, passing
Quentin Mackallen is getting old. But, like most football fans in the Allied States, he hasn't noticed. His amazing physique and body shape have helped maintain his status as rock in the midfield, and now they are serving to prolong his ability well into his thirties. With this being his fourth international tournament as captain, many are hoping he will lead the Stars to a victory in the Cup of Harmony
13 – James Kingston, Grand Captiva*
Age: 28 Nationality: English
Skills: vision, passing
The first new name to be announced by Chief of Football Operations Daniel Davies, Kingston's selection to the Stars for the Cup of Harmony came as little surprise. Many wonder why Stjepan never chose Kingston over Konstantinoppolis, because they both possess largely the same skills, but Kingston is without the hotheadedness that plagued Phillip. Look for him to help push the philosophy of ball control and mobility that is being preached by Doig.
05 – Henry Castintallas, Fort Manchester
Age: 24 Nationality: Portugese
Skills: endurance, accuracy
Henry Castinallas was the first of the surprise picks for the Stars. There were several players Doig looked over to select Castinallas, all with more skill than Castinallas, but they all lacked what Doig called “it.” Apparently he found it in Castinallas. He's known more for his hard work, like many of the new selections, as well as his uncanny accuracy of his passes. Many pundits though, after the shock of the selection, see that Castinallas has plenty of time to develop skill that will benefit him further down the road.
10 – Iska Djukashenki, FK Sarajevo
Age: 19 Nationality: Serbian
Skills: footwork, passing
Another huge surprise for Daniel Davies, many are not exactly sure what to with the selection of Djukashenki. Clearly a talented player, also has a quiet manner and style of leadership about him (he captained his youth squad and is an associate captain for Sarajevo), but lacking in professional experience. Doig has said that he's not always looking for the most talent, but the most chemistry, and he sees Djukashenki as bringing it in the future. Not expected to get much playing time, but definitely an injection of fresh blood and thinking into the midfield.

Wingers
04 – Krotos Daganopoulis, Highlanders*
Age: 22 Nationality: Greek
Skills: speed, crossing
Krotos Daganopoulis was one of the least shocking surprises of the team that Daniel Davies put together with the assistance of new manager Oliver Doig. Daganopoulis' work ethic and speed were well known, making him a key addition to the Highlanders squad. His comfort on the wing and his crossing ability are arguably the best in the Allied States. The main reason he was kept off the team for the World Cup was his youth and consistency problems
01 – Jason Yulaniche, Sheppard's Well*
Age: 27 Nationality: Albanian
Skills: speed, vision
The selection of Yulaniche was not many critics first choice for a starting winger spot of the Stars, but his talents gel well with the team as a whole, leading many beleaguered pundits to believe that this choice was the most orthodox choice of the whole team. With a young and inexperienced team, Yulaniche's speed and vision are expected to allow his to support the defence, as well as play up and make many of his now famous runs to attack the goal.
07 – Elliott Deldier, Graham City FC
Age: 23 Nationality: Canadian
Skills: physical, speed
Deldier was another unorthodox selection to the Stars. A strapping winger whose size and speed make it difficult to stop, he his renowned to draw ridiculous amounts of fouls to those trying to take him down. His physical size make it difficult to defend against him, and his speed makes it even more difficult to predict exactly where he's going to play upfield.

Central Defenders
15 – Kellen Markoff, Glasgow United*
Age: 25 Nationality: English
Skills: containment, vision
Markoff was the last veteran to be announced to have a place on the Cup of Harmony squad, much to the relief of critics everywhere, whose hearts were about to collapse from the surprise of many of the selections. Markoff's main talents lie in his ability to contain the main threats to the goal, and use his superb field of vision to prevent any attack using his target.
14 – Ryan O'Rory, Dublin Clovers*
Age: 31 Nationality: Irish
Skills: physical, vision
O'Rory was another surprising choice for the Stars. Thought to be a player whose best days were behind him, he surprised most domestic fans with a great season for the Clovers, aiding them to produce one of the toughest defences around. He uses his size and vision to block runs forward, intercepting passes and generally wreaking havoc with on the opposing teams attack.
06 – Rugar Jagr, Limassol United
Age: 28 Nationality: Croatian
Skills: physical, containment
Rugar Jagr is considered a good, if a bit strange choice. Jagr is a massive man, adding up with the rest of the team to produce a physically impressive Stars, who hope to fix the deficiencies of the smaller, more attacking focused Stars of Westley Stjepan. His size is very complementary to his read of attacks, helping him contain threats before they become dangerous.

Wing backs
08 – Yuri Kvendazi, Graham City FC*
Age: 26 Nationality: Bosnian
Skills: speed, disruption
Yuri was a little more expected choice, as he was a dark horse for the expected choices. Critics have noticed that his skills at getting a disrupting touch on the ball really slows the attack down, forcing the attackers to move the ball away at a disadvantage. His speed helps him keep with even the peskiest of attacker, though some have questioned his physical health and endurance.
19 – Garry Delvecchio, Heartland Central*
Age: 22 Nationality: Canadian
Skills: disruption, power
Delvecchio was one of Tom Hall's favorite players when he was managing Heartland Central, and it's no surprise that he is on this team. His powerful foot and ability to seemingly touch every ball that comes within ten feet of him no matter who is on it fits well and fills a much needed niche in this team. He's expected to provide leadership as his experience gains and stiffen up a weak back end.
16 – Szlavko Koblina, FK Sarajevo
Age: 24 Nationality: Slovenian
Skills: containment, passing
Szlavko Koblina was another surprising choice. Part of the successful attacking defence of at Sarajevo, Koblina uses his containment ability to slow down the attack, but is also a hub of the back of the play. His ability to get passes anywhere he needs often prove fatal, as opposing defences are unable to deal with the surprise runs and attacks.

Keepers
00 – Darien Santander, Okehampton Citizen*
Age: 23 Nationality: English
Skills: quick, deflection
Darien Santander is another strong keeper from the Okehampton Citizen. His young age and relative inexperience to many of the keepers in the Premiership really raised a lot of eyebrows. His skills are definitely up there, and his quickness and ability to get at least a hand on any ball that comes near him is supernatural. However, he has a tendency to freeze up in tense situations.
99 – Figo Dentarilla, Hearts United
Age: 30 Nationality: Portuguese
Skills: experience, holding
Figo Dentarilla was very surprising choice. Dentarilla’s age was seen as a major limiting factor, and despite his ability to swallow up balls and let only a handful of rebounds go free, he was seen as past his prime. But Davies defended him against all attacks, saying that his age will not effect his performance.

Coaching:
Head Manager: Marko Antropov
Asst. Manager: Pavel Andreev
Conditioning Coach: Mikhail Bergovich

A change in managers and in some of the players brings about a change in formation. Amazingly Sucessful Vogsphere United Manager and former Pschychoes Goalkeeper Marko Antropov has finally consented to managing the national team. Hopefully, he will be able to do as a manager, what he could never quite pull off as a player: hoisting the World Cup. That will certainly be a challenge, with both of the starting outside defenders leaving the team for retirement. Joseph Kaizers, who was inconsistent last cup, will have to step up along with new starters Juan Velasquez and Tito Guyaquil. The attack, while rearranged, is all the same players, and looks to be just as deadly as ever, hoping to pick up their third consecutive golden ball. The right wing duo of Petrov and Petrov should be especially dangerous.

Squornshelous will play in a 3-1-3-3 formation

Kamaka Xenakis Petrov

Away kit
http://ns.goobergunch.net/wiki/images/LEAway26.png

Blue and Silver riding (kinda) high

Ladies and gentlemen, the New Montreal States Paladins

Coach: William Branstone - Audioslavian exile hounded out of a job after attempting to take over the Bulls side during WC24. Shortly thereafter he fell into a vacancy in NMS and has grown along with the program. Not much for patience.

The Keepers

GK 11 Paul Chasson, age 28 - Inarguably one of the finest keepers in the world, he is the lone reason the Paladins only give up goals in ones and twos rather than fives. At his physical and mental peak right, he almost singlehandedly took his native Dorion to a spot in the NSFA.

GK 44 Tomas Beaujeu, age 24 - Reservist from WC28 has been kept around in the absence of a better player.

What some people might call a Defense
We mostly call it #@∆¥¢∞!!!

D 2 Yannic Laurier, age 26 - Him again. We're not sure what he knows about Branstone's past that Branstone cares enough about to keep this guy on the pitch.

D 51 Mitch Broughton, age 14 - Because an untrained high-school freshman would be an improvement here.

D 15 Pierre St-Simard, age 24 - We suppose he's gotten better. Please let that be the reason.

D 17 André Mailleul, age 18 - Pride of Angebourg Sud-Ouest High will mostly ride pine, with some time spent as waterboy.

The Midfield

MF 6 Charles Pilon, age 27 - Runs the midfield when he's not setting Villeneuve and Labranche. Along with Toussaint, forms the backbone of the side when on the pitch.

MF 7 Fabrice Labranche, age 21 - Hubert's little brother and Pilon's understudy will be given a starting spot now to season him up for WC30, when a massive turnover will take place across the team.

MF 8 Petr Hunyadi, age 21 - Master of the counterattack, plays brilliant D, cooks gourmet meals as a hobby. Now #4 on the most eligible bachelors list of Paparazzi de la Nation.

MF 39 Marc Tessier, age 23 - Anger and talent mixed in equal parts. Branstone will yank him at the first sign of trouble; unfortunately, him going off usually is the first sign of trouble.

MF 40 Jacques Toussaint, age 28 - Along with Pilon, anchors what has become one of the finest midfields in the world. Only discernable weakness is an inability to be at all parts of the field at once (and that's not for lack of effort, either.)

MF 49 Hugh Faulkner, age 26 - Converted from forward to midfield as Branstone wanted his offensive talents out on the pitch. His defense has gotten much better, but that's not saying much.

Midfield Reserves - No bios, except that everyone has time in the Inviyattii or U21s under their belt, and Yates and Chan all saw significant playing time in WC27 or 28 (all have at least 19 caps.)

MF 4 Sid Briscoe, age 18
MF 30 Théodore Manette, age 20
MF 41 Phillip Yates, age 23
MF 48 Mathieu Brisebois, age 19
MF 55 Paul Chan, age 24
MF 87 Albany Plattsburgh, age 23

The National Cans of Whoop-Ass

F 1 Gilles Villeneuve, age 25 - team captain and point man for the offense. Imaginative and aggressive play throughout the years for the States have made him the person everyone stares at when the Paladins have the ball.

F 99 Hubert Labranche, age 26 - doesn't mind having everyone staring at Villeneuve, since it gives him more open looks around the net. Plays well with everyone; can set anyone up anywhere, or convert an opportunity with ease.

Forward Reserves - please note that Hugh Faulkner is actually the third forward (he'd move up in the 2-6-2 and a sub would be sent in the midfield) if anything should happen to Villeneuve or Labranche.

F 22 Andre Darcy, age 22 - great talent, but like Hugh Faulkner before him gets stuck in the shadow of Villneneuve and Labranche.

F 88 Marc St-Berthaume, age 19 - see above.

The Stadia

Lo! A list of our group-stage opponents, and the stadia they will be opposed in when they come calling.

Andossa Se Mitrin Vega (23) - Paladin Dome, New Montreal, capacity 115,760
Yafor 2 (46) - Paladin Dome, New Montreal
Lisburn Mateys (72) - Paladin Dome, New Montreal
Geisenfried (92) - Paladin Dome, New Montreal
The Footie Dream Team (171) - Coyote Stadium, Moncton Sands, capacity 87,210
Ulyanovia (198) - Colisée Unité, Chateauguay, capacity 74,143
Ashterrus (207) - Colisée du Sud, Angiers, capacity 104,889

(OOC stuff: Formation is a +1. Ages are at the Cup proper, subtract 2 years for the first half of qualifiers and 1 for the second half. Or, just give the whole thing a miss, and write about something more interesting than the players ages)

For Many Boyars, This is the Last World Cup

ISANGRAD, MAGNUS VALERIUS -- The title explains it all. For several Boyars, this will be the last World Cup to try and snag a qualifying spot. Many players have become aged and are planning to retire from football altogether after the World Cup and the ensuing Cup of Harmony (which Magnus Valerius will likely end up in again). World Cup 29 is the cup for them to aim high and attempt to succeed... or die trying.

Three players are definitely hanging up the jerseys for good after this football season comes to a close in Magnus Valerius. Two Boyar defenders, Victor Potyemkin (Boyar jersey #19, of the Meijis City Druzhina) and Nikolai Gorskii (Boyar jersey #7, of the Trentino Imperials) are definitely putting an end to their careers after this World Cup. Potyemkin, 43, and Gorskii, 41, want to end their careers in football, retire with cash, return to enjoy their families, and maybe begin coaching careers.

"I just want to return home to my three daughters and my son," quipped Potyemkin, during a practice session with the national team.

"I'm feeling my age," added in Gorskii, who just recovered from an injury from two football seasons ago.

Robert de Tadoussac (Boyar jersey #44 of Nikeah United) is also quitting after this season. At age 40, Robert de Tadoussac plans to retire in a mountain resort in his native state of Nikeah. "I gotta leave to let the youngsters in on the national team," he said with a smirk.

Indeed, we hope this season goes well for the Boyars, especially for those that will be retiring after this season!

----

The Boyars will use a 3-4-3 formation, just as in the last World Cup.

Their playing style modifier is +2.

I don't care how you can roleplay the Boyars... so long as you don't kill them or murderously injure them! Hehe...

The Monastic Football Association has managed to rouse itself out of its post-hosting NS break for long enough to announce a squad for the WC29 qualifiers.

Which is precisely the same as the squad in WCs 26 & 27, and but for the second retirement of Fr. Polycarp the Venerable, would be precisely the same as the WC29 squad.

Wholesale changes are likely for WC30, but for the meantime, go with what you know....

Time passes differently in the Dreamed Realm, so the Archregimancy has the luxury of entering an unchanged side from the last World Cup if it so chooses, but there have been a couple of retirements as two players wish to spend more time devoting their time to prayer than to football.

For those not in the know, the Archregimancy is a nation of Orthodox (Eastern Orthodox Christian - Russian, Greek, Serb, etc) monks and celibate priests.

COACH:
Metropolitan Kyrill of Solovetsky

THE STARTING XI:
The Archregimancy plays in an orthodox 4-4-2 formation (style: 0)

GK:
Fr. Justinian the Thrice-Blessed (Pantaleimon): Roundly acknowledged as the best goalkeeper in the Monastic League, Fr. Justinian saved three shots in the penalty shoot-out that decided a recent Pantaleimon v Pantocrator Monastic Cup semi-final.

DEF:
Fr. Michael the New Hermit (Hermits United): On those rare occasions where he actually leaves his small cell high in the mountains to play for his team, Fr. Michael the New Hermit is a left-back of no little skill and refinement.

Fr. Michael the Greater (Troitse-Sergiyeva): His name has nothing to do with his devotion – this towering centre-back is merely several centimetres taller than his namesake and teammate Fr. Michael the Lesser.

Fr. Dmitri the Humble (Pantocrator): While vowed to silence and humility, there’s nothing humble about this centre-backs crunching tackles.

Fr. Michael the Lesser (Troitse-Sergiyeva): Club teammate of Fr. Michael the Greater, and a speedy overlapping right-back fond of taking corners.

MID:
Fr. Andrew the Twice-Found (Vatopedion): This left-winger has had two spells at Vatopedion either side of a spiritual journey through the vast emptiness of the Archregimancy’s desert.

Fr. Constantine the Learned (Simonopetra) Fr. Polycarp the Venerable's decision to retire from international football again has left a huge gap in midfield which his Simonopetra team-mate - a studious tactical master - hopes to fill for the second time.

Fr. David the Water-Drinker CAP (Llanilltud Fawr): The only western-rite player on the squad - and a once-controversial choice as captain - this central midfielder is renowned for spurning the heretical properties of Gatorade for the spiritually uplifting properties of pure spring water.

Fr. Pavel the Wanderer (Iviron): Iviron’s star right-winger – a celibate priest rather than a monk - often drifts in from the wing in the course of one of his trademark mazy dribbles.

FOR:
Fr. Silouan of the Seventy Caves (Solovetsky): This centre forward’s goalscoring ability is second only to his attention to the Holy Fasts.

Fr. Basil the Faster (Pantaleimon): Even more devoted to the Holy Fasts than Fr. Silouan - this past Great Lent he ate nothing but grass - Fr. Basil is also quite a speedy little forward.

Squad Photo: http://i14.photobucket.com/albums/a319/vakraas/squad.jpg

The team is always accompanied to matches by the Holy Icon of the Mother of God, Bringer of Victory, which shall be paraded before the team before all home and away qualifiers.

Tips for footballing visitors to the Archregimancy:

1) Each home match is preceded by the complete Divine Liturgy of St. John Chrysostom - our national anthem. Rest assured that this should only require visiting teams, fans, and officials to stand for a mere 2 hours before kickoff. Consider yourselves lucky we don't use the Liturgy of St. Basil.

2) We control the nature of reality in the Dreamed Realm (see NSwiki for more details on our region). This isn't used to cheat - all normal rules of football are strenuously followed - but it does have two major side effects:
A) Any injuries to either team in Archregimancy home matches are immediately healed.
B) No violent or riotous behaviour by visiting fans will be tolerated. Any such behaviour will find those responsible immediately transported back to ordinary physical reality.

3) Direct travel from ordinary physical reality to the Dreamed Realm is impossible. Some 72 hours before your away qualifier in the Archregimancy, a team of monks shall arrive in your home stadium and construct a portal to the Dreamed Realm. You may then use this to travel to the Archregimancy at your leisure.

4) A maximum of 10,000 visiting supporters shall be permitted into the Archregimancy for each qualifying match.

5) Women are not usually permitted into the Archregimancy. Exceptions will be made for visiting players and properly accredited officials - largely because we have to - but not for visiting supporters.

6) The rules of international football force us to permit atheists, communists, freemasons, assorted heretics and foul excelites into the Archregimancy for home qualifiers - but this doesn't mean we have to like it.

OOC: I realise my team might present a role-playing challenge. Rest assured that once they start playing they'll play just like any other team (though they might be a bit more inclined to pray after scoring), so I have no problem with you treating the team like any other if you don't want to deal with the Orthodox Christian element.

3-3-2-2 formation. (-2) modifier

Coach- Greg Tudor age 53 Tudor’s first attempt at International play was cut short by an assassination attempt by former coach Seamus Flannigan O’Connell whose attack not only sent Tudor to the hospital but so upset the team they suffered four straight shutouts before getting their act together too late. However, the team seems to respond well to his style of coaching and always seem to produce a better offensive attack while still maintaining their natural defensive style. Tudor hopes a strong DI showing will lead to a WC 29 advancement beyond the group stages in the upcoming qualifiers next year.

Formation
…………….Masterson…………………….MacDougal
……………Collins………………………..Martins
Pytte………………………Kent………………………Brantley
Jacobs……………………...Li…………………………Stossels
……………………..Whiteworth…………………………….

G- Amy Whiteworth (31-starter) Whiteworth has established herself now as Tynelia’s best keeper after strong showings in the last World Cup as well as the last Cup of Harmony. While some wonder how long she can maintain this level of play, Whiteworth assures us that she still has a few more good years in her.
G- Vladimar Malloy (34-reserve) the man known as "The Wall" for his ability to seemingly block everything sent his way is now clearly the number two keeper as Whiteworth has brought her game to the next level. A half step slower as age begins to catch up to him, Malloy has compensated by being even swifter to pick up the angle of incoming shots than in his early days.
G- Tom Gordman (18- reserve) Touted as the next Malloy, Gordman isn’t expected to get much action but as the up and coming keeper in Tynelia Coach Tudor felt just experiencing this level of play on the bench will help his development in the years to come.


F- Jay Masterson (31-starter) the flashy flamboyant Masterson was the league's goal scoring leader for the seventh time in nine years. Now in his third Cup Tynelia’s all time leading scorer in international play has assured everyone that the DI will be the first step in Tynelia’s advancing to the World Cup proper for the first time ever. Masterson has been named the Captain this season taking Adrian Pytte’s role this time around. He contributed almost half of Tynelia’s goals in the Draggonnii Inviyatii last year.
F- Anya Collins- (26- starter) The younger sister of Brad Collins, Anya has stepped beyond her brother’s shadow these past couple of years. A top five showing in both goals and assists has proven that unlike her brother she can do more than just charge the net. She is expected to take over from Brian Kenders who failed to make the team this year because of his complete lack of a scoring threat, in pushing the attack up field.
F- Alan MacDougal- (25- starter) The brother of Tynelian Olympian speed skating bronze medalist Ginny MacDougal, MacDougal finished only one goal behind Masterson for the league goal scoring title and brashly announced that next year the title would be his. When told of the comment Masterson laughed and replied “He sounds like me when I was that age.”
F/M- Andy Martins (28-starter F) Martins has developed from someone who people felt were cashing in on his name to a player who has made the All Star team in two of the last three years. A very balanced game, Martins is a good ball handler while still a danger as a shooter and made the switch from the midfield to a forward last season and it paid off with a personal best in goals.He may still see some time at midfield during the Cup.
F- Troy Wallace (34-reserve) Wallace is a veteran of sixteen years in the game at some level and is known in the league for his trickery. He always manages to find the seam in an opponent’s defense and takes advantage of that when the defense over responds to a fake attack which usually leaves a teammate wide open. While not as dominant as he was earlier in his career the “Duke of Deke” is still a wily ball handler with a killer shot.
F- Joe Richards- (30- reserve) Richards has become a solid contributor in all areas these past three years including becoming a better than average passer to go with his above average scoring touch.


M/D- Donna Kent (30-starter) Kent again led the league with a record +18 scoring differential. Her defense is still exceptional while her passing is among the league’s best. Some say she is expected to handle the role taken by Jeff Leason in past Cups but has been replaced by Kent this year as Tudor doesn’t want to have someone who would abandon offense like Leason was known to do.
M- Adrian Pytte (35-starter) The former MVP has also stated this may be his last Cup. A fierce competitor Pytte is not one to hang around if he thinks he is hurting the team. Managing to stay among the top ten in assists this past season, Pytte is now hoping to pass on his experience to the younger members of the team to help them through the new experience of world play.
M- Bret Brantley (33-starter) Now fully recovered from his injuries which seemed to haunt him the past few years Brantley is eager to prove himself in international play after being on the bench for much of the previous World Cup. With Collins knee problems, Brantley has been tabbed the starter in the DI
M/F- Brad Collins (33-reserve) Collins has announced that this will be his final World Cup no matter what. Much more mellow now, he is often torn between pride and jealousy as he has seen his younger sister surpass him on the field. Still a dangerous attacker, Collins has done much better controlling his temper though some cynics claim its just old age showing. Nagging knee problems have made Coach Tudor keep Collins out of the starting lineup so he can safe Collins for when he is most needed late in a game.
M- Randy Willis (20- reserve) another of the next generation, Willis is a good ball handler but one who’s strength is breaking up attacks rather than creating them. He may actually see some play time as the midfield is the oldest part of the Tynelian squad and may need some younger legs to help them out over a long tournament.



D- John Stossels (33-starter) Stossels is living proof of having "soccer in your blood". Both his parents and his grandfather were all soccer players in their day though national leagues weren't around then. As such Stossels was almost raised on a soccer field and is almost never found out of position or caught off guard. This defensive unit just gets better with age as it now enters its third straight World Cup together.
D- Karl Jacobs (32-starter) Still the best ballhandler in the league, Jacobs is often lost in the shuffle when it comes to Tynelian defenders. However Jacobs is a quiet leader and has always been able to hold up his end of the bargain on defense. He will usually be the one to take the ball upfield to start an attack.
D-Tal Li (27-starter) Li is Tynelia’s best defender these days having added years of experience to his natural speed and ability making him even more of a danger to opposing ball handlers. More aggressive than Stossels is in going after a player carrying the ball, Li knows he has the speed to recover from any mistakes if someone does get by him. Li was the leader this season in steals.
D- Bonnie Davis- (29- reserve) Davis was second in goal differential with a +13 margin this season. She was also second to Li in steals, she could probably start for most teams but runs into the so-called Bermuda Triangle for offenses with Stossels, Jacobs and Li here. However she is more than capable of stepping up as needed.
D- Kim Anderson (19-reserve) The last of the new blood making her first appearance as Tynelia looks ahead to its future. Anderson is very quick on her feet and some say may end up as a midfielder in the future because of her speed and ability to move the ball downfield. At the moment however she is rather cautious in choosing when to counterattack but this just helps her defensively as she prefers to wait for a play to develop before making her move.

Strikers: ABSOLUT LUNATIC, Furious Porridge, Wild Penguin

Defenders: DMYS, Fnab-Fnab, Obese Penguin, Normal Penguin

Midfielders: Mrs. Tweezly, Devious Penguin, Irritated Penguin

Goalkeeper: Willie Dee and his Extremely Dangerous Hair


Well, The Team is back, though after a particularily destructive Lancre Cup, many of their former players are dead, including all their substitutes, stunt-doubles, and stand-ins. The Team has seen fit to replace the missing players with the most ferocious misfits they could find: four actual raging penguins.

The new striker, Wild Penguin, has much in common with ABSOLUT LUNATIC, both are crazy, violent, and have no idea what they're doing. They also share similar tastes in drinks, although it is rumored that Wild Penguin likes his Vodka mixed with kerosene, rather than crude oil, and thus is the more sophisticated of the two. The New Midfielder, Irritated Penguin, is a hot-tempered ex-member of The Team's Mascots, and has never forgotten the taste of 'hotdog vendor'. He is in an interesting position, being assigned to the same position as Mrs. Tweezly(who now sports an eye-patch and a new meterstick) and veteran Player Devious Penguin.
The Two new defenders, replacing the football-chomping Mostly Mouths(his taste for footballs was the end of him, as he swallowed a football filled with razors in The Team's match against Rachels Insanity), and the incompetent Al Broller, are Obese Penguin and Normal Penguin. Obese Penguin is hugely overweight, and can barely waddle around the field, which is why it is a good thing he's been placed in the Defense. Normal Penguin is not really normal at all, because, as a raging penguin, he's prone to wild fits of rage and violence. However, there was nothing about him that distinguished him fromt he rest, and so he's been dubbed 'Normal'.

The Team's new captain, after the demise of The Penguin at the hands of Rachels Insanity Defenders, is ABSOLUT LUNATIC. We feel that this is probably a move in the right direction, because he'll almost certainly get them all killed.

Once again, star players DMYS and Furious Porridge take to the field, although only one of them knows how to play. Willie Dee and his Extremely Dangerous Hair(probably the worst keepers in the world) return to defend the goal in a way only two symbiotic beings can. Devious Penguin has been seen toting new Doomsday Devices, and Mrs. Tweezly has a new blackboard, and many, many sticks of chalk. Fnab Fnab still hasn't learned to speak english, and still believes himself to be the dictator of his native country(some small, smelly place), though he was deposed by the military two years ago, after an absence of five years.

We hope that our opponants will be properly armed and armored this time, in contrast to last time, when the opposing team could only resort to fist-fights in self-defence, rather than using flamethrowers, or hand grenades.

Pleno De-Ele is a surprising inclusion in the Dingzanwa squad as he plays for bottom of the table side Inúteis Onze and also has the knack of causing contraversy in the National Press, however, his amazing knack of changing the game seems to be the main reason of the selection by Carlos Ricardo Marqueria.

AwalKB National Team Announces Final Roster

AWALKB:At approximately 4:30 yesterday afternoon Coach Frap Pachino announced his final roster after much pressure from AwalKB's "Prime Minister," Dunkin Do Nut. The roster is shaped around a main 4-3-1-2 formation, as the teams primary center midfielders have trouble running a regular 4-4-2 formation with a offensive center-mid and a defensive. Pachino has been quoted to saying of his two center midfielders as "complete idiots, [who] run like chickens with their heads cut off." The roster is reported as follows:

AwalKB National Football Club Announces New Uniforms

AWALK CITY, AwalKB -- An AwalKB National Football Club Spokesperson annouced this morning that the Sex Gods will be traveling to Legalese in brand new uniforms sporting the National Colors of Blue, Yellow, and White as well as the nation's symbol for the sword, the black cross.

The AwalKB Squad is very new to the international stage. Although many of it's star players hail from well-known club teams from inside and out of the nation. Star Midfielder and Captain Andrew Wilson was quoted with saying that he feels "confident with the teams' experience, and [that] all nerves leading up to the upcoming international events have been wiped away with these new uniforms and the rising national support."

"It's fantastic," says Wilson, "the team is finally getting some freedom and respect, much better than the beati--err rigourous training we have to go through at camp."

Clearly, expectations for the Sex Gods are very high and a poor showing could very well doom Football pride for the people of AwalKB. By Francis Longhorn

The last hurrah

With so many players set to retire after WC 29 many experts are calling this tournament the "last hurrah" for players of the first generation of Milchama international football. Coach Jamie Smith said, "We will do well. I promise that."

Well with that promise here is the lineup as always a 3-3-4 (+2)

Gk: Clay Finton- A great goalkeeper who makes many great saves and has forced Tuck Koolerc out of a spot where he looked entrenched to be keeper for a long time. Still looking for a boost of confidence after a disastourous World Cup.
D: Casey Stockholm- A good wing defender who got to start after his play on the ball made Jamie Smith take him barely over Brandon Callers.
D: Kendric Pevington- Not flashy but a very good central defender. Does not have the speed to play wing back so is in the center again. Always a good bet to make the play needed to keep the other team from scoring. Hoping to help in the back in his final WC.
D: Mills Thompson- Tall and good in the air. His headers will help on both offense and defense. He will also want to help bring Milchama to new heights in his final WC.
M: Elana Kilinin- Her great play was key to them qualifying and after helping the Milchama women in their world cup is back to play with the men. She will again be relied upon to get a spark in the offense. Some good play and she might stick as a player.
M: Johnny Rintell- He finally got a chance and was key to Milchama even getting to the World Cup. Finally with confidence and a pretty secure starting job he wants to show the world his skill in his last WC.
M: Darian Flinters- Very fast and a good shooter. Will be a major part of the offense. His wing play with Kilinin will be key for the Milchmian offense. His deadly speed will again be needed for advancement.
F: Dunston Copperlee (Captain)- Best soccer player Milchama has ever produced so far. Will be expected to do everything. He wants to finally get a goalscoring record to prove his play justice in his last WC.
F: Spot Nielson- No longer in the shadow of Floren or anybody else he will be expected to pick up some of that goal scoring slack and is going to do the job very well if past expierience is something to go on.
F: Floren Albentine-A great goalscorer who did his job replacing Floren very well in the last WC. His play will be key as he is the one that many charge as replacing Floren. Success or failure in this, according to many, relies on him and his adjustment to international football.
F: J.J. Faren- A great crosser and a good goalscorer. While his goalscoring seems to decrease by the World Cup his crosses and play creating improves if he can keep those up then it won't matter how many goals he scores. His play will also be important as he'll helping Aaron Kary get ready for his new job in his last WC.
Subs:
F: Matt Bantin- The header and supersub still did not crack the starting 11 with Floren gone. He is desperate to prove that was a big mistake.
Gk: Marcos Ollins- Came on the wrong time. A career backup in his 4th World Cup. Still only has 3 caps for the national team.
D: Kyoga Marcazumi- Is back in the fold as his play for club Great Alexandria helped them just miss the title in the lastest IAFL.
F: Aaron Kary- The teammate of Floren. His crosses have been compared to Faren's and many consider him to be better than J.J. If so he needs to prove it.
M: Antoine Sanchez- After starting for two cups is back on the bench. He wants to get his starters job back before WC30.

http://www.starblaydestudios.co.uk/Images/SFA-Logo.gif
Starblaydi World Cup 29 Squad
Defending Champions Back For Number Three

The Staff
KA. Khim Azanulbizarn (http://ns.goobergunch.net/wiki/index.php/Khim_Azanulbizarn), Manager, 62 - World Cup 28 Winner (as Manager)
58 Caps, 6 Goals (10 Caps, 4 Goals at Under-21 Level (http://ns.goobergunch.net/wiki/index.php/Starblaydia_Under-21s))
Probably the most-famous football-playing Dwarf in the world, Khim's long reign as Under-21 Manager put him in good stead after his upgrade to the senior side in the wake of Nikola Lazerevski's retirement after World Cup 25's glory, finishing Third in World Cup 27 and winning World Cup 28. Players who have served him well in the Under-21s and the testing ground of the Draggonnii Inviyatii and Ylompics have formed this solid core of his team.

GE. Geraint Evans (http://ns.goobergunch.net/wiki/index.php/Geraint_Evans), Assistant-Manager, 62 - AOCAF4 Winner, AOCAF14 Winner (as Manager)
46 Caps, 8 Goals (17 Caps, 4 Goals at Under-21 Level)
The manager who brought the record fifth AOCAF title home in an historic World Cup/AOCAF double, Geraint makes a fine assistant to Azanulbizarn in the World Cup stage, tempering the Dwarf's more... 'outlandish' ideas into something akin to normal.

JO. Jaime Oberlander (http://ns.goobergunch.net/wiki/index.php/Jaime_Oberlander), Coach, 38 - World Cup 25 & 28 Winner
68 Caps, 84 Goals (14 Caps, 1 Goal at Under-21 Level)
Starblaydia's only two-time World Cup Winner, Jaime became coach of the Under-21 side immediately after the glory of World Cup 28.

The Goalkeepers
1. David Bedford (http://ns.goobergunch.net/wiki/index.php/David_Bedford), GK, 34 - Vecchio Victors - World Cup 28 Winner
32 Caps, 0 Goals (9 Caps, 0 Goals at Under-21 Level)
"Battle, facing David Bedford with Bedistan's seventh penalty... Saved! Peter Battle, he's got your number!" That's right, the man who saved one in seven penalties in the World Cup 28 Final shoot-out is Starblaydia's number-one yet again

12. Balin Grimzabar, GK, 29 - Karak Ungor Chiefs - World Cup 28 Winner
1 Cap, 0 Goals (3 Caps, 0 Goals at Under-21 Level)
The first Dwarven international goalkeeper since... some stunty from Cockbill Street, most likely. Diminutive, yes, but with thighs and calves like tree-trunks he's got more leap on him than a jaguar

19. Oyvind Collier, GK, 23 - Internashionale
Uncapped (3 Caps, 0 Goals at Under-21 Level)
The last top-class Starblaydi goalie form Inter played some twenty or thirty years ago, so to see one again will be heaven for the Inter fans.

The Defenders
2. Tabitha Di Bradini (http://ns.goobergunch.net/wiki/index.php/Tabitha_Di_Bradini), RB, 22 - Daii Raiders - AOCAF14 Winner
11 Caps, 2 Goals (5 Caps, 1 Goal at Under-21 Level)
Yes, yes, she's the grand-daugher of Roberto Di Bradini, Simeone's great-neice, and boy is she great. A voracious attacking full-back, she took Cicso Ibanez's AOCAF place away from him and never gave it back.

3. Markko Rakkinen (http://ns.goobergunch.net/wiki/index.php/Markko_Rakkinen), LB, 31 - Tabeck FC - World Cup 28 Winner
63 Caps, 3 Goals (8 Caps, 1 Goal at Under-21 Level)
Solid, reliable, professional. Three words that embody Markko, and right now there is no-one on the planet that we'd rather have as a left full-back. Kept his cool to score the fourth penalty in Starblaydia's Shoot-out victory over Bedistan.

5. Juan Valdez, CB, 29 - Tabeck FC - World Cup 28 Winner
42 Caps, 1 Goal (5 Caps, 0 Goals at Under-21 Level)
Plays in the Tabeck style through and through, preferring to laze on a Bekk beach rather than train. Luckily his positional sense is excellent, and he doesn't need pace (which he doesnt have) to gt to defenders. Compliments Costa perfectly.

6. Herge Costa, C/RB 23 - Hallad Reavers - World Cup 28 Winner
11 Caps, 0 Goals (8 Caps, 0 Goals at Under-21 Level)
A Reavers central defender - could he play any other way that as a snorting, brusing, hard tackling defender who's first thought is always to kick the ball (and perhaps the nearest player) as far away from his goal as possible? Unlikely, but we love to watch him do it.

13. Adimurtiz Drazarim, R/LB, 28 - Karak Ungor Chiefs - World Cup 28 Winner
22 Caps, 2 Goals (6 Caps, 0 Goals at Under-21 Level)
A versatile full-back is a wonderful thing and Drazarim is no exception. The greatest Dwarven defender since... the last one, who just happened to be Khim Azanulbizarn. With Di Bradini and Rakkinen fit enough to play in every game, Drazarim will be wanting to be more than just a substitute this time around.

14. Stephen Adams, CB, 21 - Francopolis Coastal (Legalese) - AOCAF14 Winner
3 Caps, 0 Goals (5 Caps, 0 Goals at Under-21 Level)
Even as a seventeen year old, you could see the class of this Legalese-based centre-back at the AOCAF. Four years later, and he's only got better, and bigger, by all accounts.

20. Ricardo Almeida, RWB/RB, 32 - Kiiarana City (Vilitan Stellar) - World Cup 28 Winner
36 Caps, 2 Goals (4 Caps, 0 Goals at Under-21 Level)
Riccy's ability to bomb on from full-back and overlap the right-midfielder has always been useful, though at thirty-two he can't quite get back as quick as he used to. Could often be used as a straight swap for the equally attack-minded Di Bradini.

The Midfielders
4. Pedro Rujano, C/DM, 27 - Na~ovi Nanti (Rejistania 1st Division) - World Cup 28 Winner
37 Caps, 5 Goals (7 Caps, 0 Goals at Under-21 Level)
Despite his fondness for girls just over the age of consent, Pedro is the man to take over in Starblaydia's midfield. Classy and skillful, he's less of a wrecking ball like Blanc and more of a scalpel. Scorer of the third penalty in the '28 Final.

7. Paul Noble, Captain, R/CM, 31 - Vecchio Victors - World Cup 28 Winner
71 Caps, 19 Goals (8 Caps, 3 Goals at Under-21 Level)
Installed as the team's captain by the SFA, Noble is seen as the perfect midfielder to represent Starblaydia. Tall, strong and skillful, his crossing ability is second to none, and neither his devotion to Starblaydia's cause. Scorer of the second penalty in the WC28 shoot-out, he's down as Starblaydia's number-one penalty taker now.

8. Durum Rage, AM, 29 - Karak Ungor Chiefs - World Cup 28 Winner
40 Caps, 9 Goals (5 Caps, 0 Goals at Under-21 Level)
Quite simply he's the Dwarf who got the seventh straight penalty kick correct four years ago, shortly follwed by Bedistan's first miss and Starblaydia's Second Championship. A helluva powerful shot on this fiery-bearded, mohican-haired Dwarf.

11. Marissa Cortez, C/LM, 25 - Lightbringers - World Cup 28 Winner
17 Caps, 2 Goals (8 Caps, 0 Goals at Under-21 Level)
Just plain excellent; Cortez is a fine balance for Noble on the other side. A good cross, but perhaps the lack of ability to beat a man with pace could hamper her. Her passing skills and awareness, however, more than make up for that.

15. Tara Niodonna, C/DM, 25 - Daii Raiders - AOCAF14 Winner
13 Caps, 2 Goals (5 Caps, 1 Goal at Under-21 Level)
Fighting with Rujano for the position of Holding Midfielder, Tara was admittedly always going to come out second best. Nevertheless she's an excellent central player, with a fierce and skillful tackling style to boot. Perhaps her positional sense comes from woman's intuition?

16. Fillipo Zinaldi, AM, 24 - Vecchio Victors - World Cup 28 Winner
20 Caps, 5 Goals (8 Caps, 2 Goals at Under-21 Level)
Again the understudy for Rage in the midfield, Zinaldi can still be classed as a young player, and he'll only be at his peak in four years time. An excellent forward-minded player, he'll be desperate to get on the scoresheet when he gets his oppurtunity.

21. Talenii Karo, D/AM, 19 - Unattached
Uncapped (Uncapped at Under-21 Level)
The bright new wunderkind of the midfield, Talenii's box-to-box coverage has made her one of only two players in the squad without a World Cup or AOCAF title to their name. Completely uncapped, too, her debut is sure to spark scouts from all over the world

22. Petyr Kaminsky, R/LM, 26 - Internashionale - World Cup 28 Winner
15 Caps, 2 Goals (7 Caps, 0 Goals at Under-21 Level)
Versatile on either flank, though predominantly right-footed, Petyr's ability to play wide - not just as a touchline hugger but a fierce competitor, with tackles to be reckoned with - gives him a place at this World Cup campaign with the defending Champions.


The Forwards
9. Johan Keifner, CF, 27 - Tabeck FC - World Cup 28 Winner
39 Caps, 25 Goals (6 Caps, 0 Goals at Under-21 Level)
'JK The Giant' leads the line this time, rather than simply as Tolkacheva's partner. Seven goals in the last Cup campaign and a Winner's medal to boot. Strength, Power and Presence sum him up

10. Jaqueline Maitland, SC, 22 - Tuncastle Rovers - AOCAF14 Winner
12 Caps, 11 Goals (5 Caps, 0 Goals at Under-21 Level)
An incredible debut in AOCAF14 saw her net 7 goals and win the Golden Boot for the entire tournament, followed up by an excellent Draggonnii Inviyatii that sealed her place and the number 10 shirt. Just lucky that Nova Britannicus aren't playing any more, or she'd be playing for them.

17. Maivia Von Erich, SC, 29 - Widdrington Wolves - World Cup 28 Winner
37 Caps, 12 Goals (1 Caps, 0 Goals at Under-21 Level)
A little tornado of a striker, who was desperate for a starting shirt but was edged out during the Draggonnii Inviyattii and so will have to settle for another substitute place. He's the man who was fifth-choice for the penalties in the WC28 Shoot-out, and boy did he do well.

18. Janica Rocca, SC, 25 - Daii Raiders - World Cup 28 Winner
13 Caps, 2 Goals (8 Caps, 0 Goals at Under-21 Level)
It's just not going right for the girl once dubbed 'the new Tolkacheva', lying fourth in the choice-list for Starblaydia's team, despite being the all-time top-scorer of the Women's national side with 6 goals

23. Ajaccio, SC, 31 - Corinthian Spirits - World Cup 28 Winner
15 Caps, 2 Goals (3 Caps, 0 Goals at Under-21 Level)
Experience can count for a lot in the international game, and Ajaccio can be somewhat of a father figure to the youngsters in the side. Once full of promise, Ajaccio has a paltry number of caps and goals for such talent

Fmjphoenix Vikings
World Cup 29 Shinigami
+2 Modifier

Coaching Staff

James Wash 76 years old
The head coach of the Vikings for as long as anyone can remember, Wash shows no signs of slowing down. He has a knack for bringing the best out in those who play for him. Well liked by everyone around, Wash will go down as one of the most influential Fmjphoenix sports figures the minute he retires from coaching.

Mariano Rodriquez 58 years old
The forever youthfull Rodriquez always keeps the team together. His youthfull attitude and actions keep everyone friendly in the locker room and his knowledge of the game is only surpased by those who have been involved in it longer than him.

Gary Accrew 73 years old
Fitniss coach of the Vikings since coming from Liverpool England in the Vikings inagural cup. With his healthey routine, he keeps the Vikings in top notch shape and has them ready for anything. Helps break young players of bad habits before they even start.

Starting Eleven
3-4-3 Bankai

Goalkeeper: #4 Justin Keys 27 years old (Ariot Lupes)
With several clean sheets in World Cup 28, Keys showed off to millions why Fmjphoenix can do more than score lots of goals. Great things are expected of him.

Defender: #8 Kayla Mik’ala 31 years old (Anadyr, Hockey Canada)
Top defender in Fmjphoenix. She stays with her targert from end-to-end. Her relentless attitude to he opponents makes her someone most want to stay away from while on the pitch.

Defender: #14 Brian Bash 25 years old (Takil Lines)
Son of former Vikings defender Bobby Bash. Brian has inherited his dads excellent sliding as his timings are rarely off and almost always result in a loose ball.

Defender: #18 Brian Sado - 19 years old (unattached)
His excellent play during the U21WC, Sado has earned a starting spot on the Vikings. He is a big strong guy who has a lot of speed for his side. Can attack well and is threat from the wings at all times.

Midfielder: #6 Laura Boyd 32 years old (Iskara Daii, Starblaydia)
Captain of the Junior Vikings in U21WC19, Fmjphoenix's thrid of four U21WC Championships. Her ability on the field is just as great as her ability to keep her team in the right midset to stay in the game and win.

Midfielder: #5 Desmond Howard 29 years old (Vanguard Eagles)
Howard has matured into a all around player, using his solid clutch play on the defensive end now, as well as offensivly.

Midfielder: #12 Ridley Silverlake 17 years old (unattached)
Her raw talent has coaches and scouts all over Fmjphoenix oogling for a chance to coach her. Ridley showed off her skills in U21WC21 and earned a starting spot without any competition. Should be interesting to see what she will do on the world scope.

Midfielder: #10 Andrew Jenkins 28 years old (Ariot Lupes)
A traditional Fmjphoenix midfielder, his scoring skills are good, but his playmaking is what sets him apart from the others. His ability to read his opponents and creating scoring opportunities for the forwards put Jenkins near the top in assists.

Forward: #3 Mike Nolan(C) 42 years old (Irkutsk, Hockey Canada)
A presence on the field, Nolan is the sword that leads the Vikings attack. His goal scoring ability is unrivaled in Fmjphoenix and he is possibly one of the best scorers in his time. Despite being 42, the staff sees that he is still able to play at a high level and he has again been named captain.

Forward: #7 Brian Dougood 33 years old (Lopinka, Vilita)
Dougood never had the chance to establish himself as the number one forward and instead developed into a secondary threat. His accurate strikes are still fearsome, as his shots still have lots of fire behind them.

Forward: #16 Selphie Timmett 19 years old (unattached)
Many were shocked when she was removed from the starting lineup for U21WC21. But after all has been said and done, now Selphie finds herself in the starting lineup for the Vikings. She has good instincts and has a mean hook on her strikes. Even though she is smaller, she makes up for it with quick speed and fast feet.

Bench/Reserves

FW: #19 Jack Russell 17 years old (unattached)
FW: #15 Arien Cracken 20 years old (Waterloo United)
MF: #13 Brady Wayne 32 years old (Sunnyslope FC)
MF: #4 Sam Blancher 21 years old (Vanguard Eagles)
DF: #17 Kerien Haylcon 29 years old (RFC Vrelt)
DF: #21 Kura Ley'lei - 17 years old (unattached)

Team Colours

http://i25.photobucket.com/albums/c58/Krytenia/CUA.png
Goalie Home: All Black, even the cap
Goalie Away: Imperial Purple all over

Stadium

Southern Island Peaks

An all seater modern stadium, retractable roof, special look is the old clock on the West bank. Capacity of 40,000, seats the colour of the national team. On the hot southern island ruled by General Jared, brother of the ruler Jude to gain him goodwill, the heat and sudden rain can be off putting. Beside a rushing river, quite a few ball boys have never returned from going in the river which is called "Catincoa death."

Manager

Jude Takerath-29-Manager: Passionate, he can often be seen on the sidelines trying to rally the team. A clever man, he knows how to manipulate the media but lacks the man management skills to rally the team in dark times. Otherwise a recluse, his glasses only add to his scholarly look. When the team isn't playing, he will study, read or play a game of chess.

Squad

Tactics: Mostly a defending side, they will push forward if behind by anything up to two goals in the last twenty minutes. Normally, they lump the ball forward for the lone forward to hold up till players get forward. Willing to use the offside trap and press from front to back

SS SS

LM CM RM
DM
LB CD CD RB
GK

Starting line up:

Gary Jens-31-GK.
Tall, tanned, agile, good at narrowing the angle, he has many strengths. He has three flaws however: his fiery temper, crosses and being somewhat inconsistent. This man can make a fantastic save only to let a 30 yarder through his legs. Willing to sweep up behind the defence

Mostly brilliant in the WC28, a few errors aside, he has returned to form and will be relied on to carry the team sometimes. Main reason why only 19 goals where conceded. Kept four consectuvie clean sheats in the Cup of Harmony but seems to be struggling for form of late.


Leslie Butcher-24-LB:
inexperienced but quick and eager. Likes to attack but his shots tend to be wayward. Does not like having to man mark someone as someone good with the ball can tear him apart and fairly short so lacks ability in the air. Otherwise a promising defender who deserves his chance

Played pretty well but in vital matches did not cut off the attacks on his flank, too rash in the tackle.

Philip Cole-35-RB
Solid defender lets little past him. Slow but not enough to be much of a hindrance. Dependable but if something unexpected happens, he gets caught out. His left foot is injury prone.

A solid world cup but seemed lacking in pace in a few games. Played vital part in Cup of Harmony but in the Dragon Cup, seemed to be exhuasted and was replaced by his brother.

CB: Swiss ""Cheese" Charag -24: 1 goal

Lives with his minority tribe in the mountains, powerful on air and ground, sure on his feet. Starts in defence after a few games as a subsituaite and two as a starter. Lacks expirence but has ability to make it.

Still getting used to playing alongside Yan, it is hoped that he will have more support then in the Dragon Cup.

Jonathan Yan 32-CB-captain: 1 goal
strong in the air and in the tackle, this man has emerged from troublesome youth to a quality defender. Lacks pace but has threat in the air that will be useful at set pieces.

Looked lost without Major but played well overall, often having to carry the rest of the defence. Needs to get his act with Cheese going so a repeat of the Dragon Cup doesn't happen.

Rio Samba-34-DM: 1 goal
A ball playing centre back but prone too playing off the pace and for being distracted. Recently been tried aat DM and deserves his chance since Abel retired.

Wasn't noted much but did a decent job for Cuation. Needs to cut his errors and could be overwhlemed at times but did the job for the most part. Needs able partner as witnessed when he was constalty overun when working with Hargreves.

Steven Milnar-29-Winger: 3 goal.
Has progressed up the Cuation league as a promising talent but has never quite fuffiled it. A winger who looks to sneak into the box and score, he is also pretty good when he stays wide.

His runs where good and he was always trouble but he will be dissapointed to have grabbed only one goal in twelve games. A good Cup of Harmony followed and was one of the few people to come out of the Dragon Cup with repaution intact.

Giovanni Hatzori-34-playmaker/RW: 3 goal
Hates to defend and can stop bothering if he is in a mood. However when he is in the mood and gets forward, he is wizard of all aspects of the ball. Due to his ego, he can lose the battle after taking to many people on/trying something too spectacular also pulling the team out of shape is a risk with him. Looks for flick on

Only one goal was suprising as he covered for Tanner's injury. Often played well, his playmaking was missed when on the bench. Played up front in the Dragon Cup but the forwards didn't click, has been moved to the right wing. P.Cole may be overworkred but Giovanni's attacking play will be vital. Cuation’s joint top goalscorer at Bof

Joe Fallen- 22 CM: 1 goal

A trick pony. When not hogging the ball, he can be so useful to the team with his deadly balls. Too often he wastes things by keeping the ball too long. Left footed, he started on the right for the team due to Ashton's retirment for the Dragon Cup.

On the wrong foot, he looked helpeless and greedy, not a threat to anyone. Moved into the centre in last two games and has improved a lot, able to organise play a bit more. Needs to use his right foot and to be less greedy on the ball but has enough defence ability to help Samba.

ST: Lu Fei- 22: 1 goal

Strong player, he is the target man. Will hold the ball up if needed and so often first to the long ball, expected to one day replace Beanpole Tanner. Has little pace but good on the ball and deadlier in front of goal then Beanpole

On the bench for most of the Dragon Cup but Cuation looked better when he came on and when he started the last two games. Will fill the role of Beanpole Tanner.

Rual Mendisez-25-striker: 17 goals
Pacy small goalscorer. Doesn't fit in with the style of play and can not dribble or jump much but useful in the counter attack or to chase a lead. Can suffer from his own doubts and arrogance.

Cuation’s joint top goalscorer at Bof 25, he was top goal scorer with seven in the WC28, top scorer in the Cup of Harmony with six and in the Dragon Cup with four. A hatrick against Chuck Norris was as good as it got but his striking power helped Cuation advanced to the semi finals and kept Cuation from finishing bottom i the Dragon Cup. Will be happy to play alongside a target man again

Bench
Jude Tanner- GK-22

Star player for his club, touted as Cuation's hottest talent for years.. Plays fair but can be absent minded on the pitch. Slow off his line but good shot stopper and master at penalties.

Conceded four in three(or two and a half) games and one clean sheat but wll be hoping for a better defence this time.

Def: Gary Cole -23

Can slot in anywhere along the back line, he is solid player at youth leven but now must take the step up to the big time. Like his brother Philip Cole but inferior.

Ended up filling in at right back due to P.Cole looking unfit and did well enough to keep a place in the squad.

Heskey Anderton-32-LM/ST: 3 goals
a striker played out of position on the left wing, covering for the lack of left wingers. Tall and strong in the air, he works hard but has the tackling ability of a striker and tends to fall over too much.

Struggled in the game he played as a target man, he played well when called upon, winning over any fans who still didn't trust him. Often coming off the bunch, he can cover on the wings and is reliable though it is sad to see him on the bench after being a first team player for so long

Jamie Hargreves-34-Def/Mid: 1 goal
plays anywhere in defence or in midfield but is pretty average. Good as fresh legs but that is about it. Heavens help us that he starts for us at the moment, he is now the boo boy.

WC28 showed him up, he was awful and had to be protected from angry fans. Got suspended against the top team in the group, his own goal against BP pretty much ended whatever hopes Cuation had. A poor Cup of Harmony and then moved into midfield as Cuation struggled, dropped so Cuation can recover shape.

ST: Pual Keane-24: 5 goals.

Pacy player like Rual Mendiz. Will be looking to get in behind defences and finish any chances he gets. Perhaps too similar but now he is too old for the next U21 Cup, his scoring run in the Dragon cup got him a squad place.

Started the odd match and often came of the bench, he did well to get four goals and with more compusure, could have had many more. Scoring run seemingly gone but a nice option to have. Scored Cuation's last Dragon goal.

14.Dominic Patton - 28/9 caps - Dromara Village (3 goals)
17.James Curry - 22/4 caps - Lisburn Distillery

Many people are started to get concerned at the lack off experience of the back ups in the defence who only have nine caps between them but Crewe have been outstanding last season and are doing ok this season so expect Scott Mitchell to make his debut some time in the competition.

Midfield remains unchanged however some are questioning Kirks decision to not to call up Crewe's Seamus O'Flannery who has played well for the club recently.

The strike force is again lead by the formidable Amusi Akobyi who had a very poor cup of Harmony and he said he is eager to find form for his country again. The main question as always is who to partner him and it looks set for Dominic Patton to mainly due to his better goal record than Dougherty.

<a herald comes forth from the Royal Palace with a document in hand>

“By order of His Most Noble, Righteous and Benevolently Beloved Majesty King John IV the following Lords and Knights of the land shall represent the honor of Tessan against the best the world can offer. No doubt these brave and virtuous men shall bring glory and renown to our kingdom and His Majesty.

Style 2-1-7 (style +2)

Coach- Duke Anton Conway age 56 a very respected man in Tessan, ruler of the second largest duchy in Tessan. His actual knowledge of soccer is suspect however.

F- Sir James Kenmore age 29 the epitome of knighthood and actually knows how to play
F- Baron Kyle Artest age 23 poor sport and bad tempered to go with a lack of skill means many yellow and red cards in his future. His father was one of King John’s best friends so he is on the team
F- Prince Daniel Convay age 20- son of Duke Anton and the only reason he is here
F- Royal Prince Jeffery Pierson age 20- second son of His Majesty, plays well
F- Sir Garrad Colton age 28- first mentioned to the king about the sport and got a spot on the team as a result
F- Sir Brian Dallas- age 30- probably the most skilled of the forwards
F- Sir Dashon Boonermann age 27 – Prince Jeffery’s personal guard and stays on the team to keep an eye on him
Reserve F- Goodman Fredrick Lee age 29 the token commoner who is not expected to play much if at all
Reserve F- Squire James Pierce age 18- the King’s squire and thus his spot on the team

M- Baron Gordon Kingsfoil age 25 has built his own soccer field on his lands at the king’s command which has served as the team’s training area and was given a spot on the team as a result.
Reserve M- Baron David Jenkins age 33 A new devotee to the sport and now obsessed with it, has enough rank to make the knights actually listen to him but the higher ranks tend to ignore him
Reserve M- Squire William Kendricks age 19 best ballhandler of this team but too junior to be a starter

D- Sir Jacob Allensworth age 30- picked up the sport very quickly and is a very good defender which leads to some mocking by the younger knights who prefer the flashiness of goal scoring
D- Baron Justin Crey age 25 actually knows what’s he’s supposed to be doing out there and ironically this means the defense is probably the strong point of the team
Reserve D- Sir Thomas O’Toole age 28- won a jousting tournament for the right to be on the team
Reserve D/M- Sir Milton Worth age 27- the Crown Prince’s personal bodyguard and therefore also on the team

Keeper- Crown Prince John Pierson age 25- heir to the throne- an average keeper but rank not skill matters in Tessan so he is starting
Reserve Keeper- Yeoman Carl Martin age 26- a far better keeper but lacking the rank to make the starting lineup

SFF announce squad for WC29

TEAM MANAGER

Rodney Lowe [Age 55]
Universally loved in Schiavonia. First he managed to take his new nation all the way to the World Cup Finals, where they beat the eventual runners up. Then, as if to prove it was no fluke, he went and qualified the team again in emphatic style. After being controvertially knocked out of the World Cup in the qualifying stages last time out, he proved that Schiavonia should be challenging in the finals all the time with an emphatic victory in the Cup of Harmony.

GOALKEEPERS

1. Jack Holmes (Social Club de Sedgefield [25] Caps:11)
Kershaw's successor in goal, and was a major part of Schiavonia's impressive showing in Andossa Se Mitrin Vega, proving that he is more than worthy of the position.

2. Ben Kershaw (Atletico Unimo [36] Caps:75 Goals:1)
Kershaw has been Schiavonia's number one throughout their international history to date. However, age is catching up with him, and he will only play if Holmes is out. Solid shot-stopper, but has always been suspect with his distribution.

3. Ray Interrio (Heartellpool United [32] Caps:1)
With two excellent keepers ahead of him, Interrio doesn't get much of a chance in the Sloth's goal. Just one cap says it all. Probably won't get a game.


DEFENDERS

11. Oliver Park (Threlo Rovers [34] Caps:77 Goals:3)
Established central defender Park has been the rock upon which Schiavonia's defence is based. Rarely noticed, mainly because he just gets his head down and gets on with it.

12. Gareth Marsden (Social Club de Sedgefield [33 (c)] Caps:77 Goals:2)
Park's central defensive partner makes up in enthusiasm and athleticism what his partner gives in commitment and organisation. One without the other... well, it just wouldn't be right!

13. Nicolai Ferreira (Mirkwell [20] Caps:7)
Youngster who made his mrk at the Draggonnii Inviyatii (although as the SFF didn't post their roster, you probably don't know that). Likely to be thrown in against inexperienced teams for the experience.

14. Allesandro Portes (Atletico Unimo [29] Caps:4)
Portes came in during the FIFA Cup of Nations, but that was six years ago, and there's been very little since. Could make appearances if the legs of the older guys are starting to go later in the campaign.

16. Herman Miller (Welkay Lakeside [24] Caps:0)
Back up for Williams at right-back, can also play at centre back when it becomes a backs-to-the-wall job.

17. Ed Fielding (Kingsbury Rocks [17] Caps:0)
Young, exciting prospect at left-back. If he improves at the expected rate, he'll be ahead of O'Faherty in the pecking order in time for the next cup.

18. Connor O'Faherty (Threlo Rovers [27] Caps:13 Goals:1)
Taking over from Fernando Smith at left back, O'Faherty seems to be a much more solid defensive option than his predecessor, but not quite as good going forward.

19. Enrique Williams (Social Club de Sedgefield [25] Caps:13 Goals:1)
The same as O'Faherty, only swap left for right and Smith for O'Kane. And the fact that Williams can get up an down the wing better than O'Faherty.


MIDFIELDERS

21. Kenny Sanderson (Kingsbury Monarchs [34] Caps:72 Goals:16)
The main creative force in Schiavonia's midfield, Sanderson is a free kick specialist and is also first choice when it comes to taking penalties. Sanderson has also taken part in the Ylompics (equestrian, last place), as a F1GP test driver and in the "A Song for Schiavonia" competition (last place).

22. Pedro Swollocks (Social Club de Sedgefield [27] Caps:14 Goals:2)
Some might say that he's only in the team so that they keep their international quota of stupidly named players, but he hasn't let the team down as yet. Hasn't played in many important games, though.

23. Eric Berry (Mirkwell [27] Caps:25 Goals:2)
Has a very good partnership in midfield at club level with Andy McGee, and their understanding shows at this level, too. Has proved an ample replacement for the ever-popular Paul Weir in the midfield ball-winner role.

24. Will Caine (Kingsbury Rocks [19] Caps:7 Goals:2)
The second of our debutants from Andossa Se Mitrin Vega, and will be looking to make his mark for the team. Being shaped up for Sanderson's place in the team when he retires.

25. Andy McGee (Mirkwell [28] Caps:33 Goals:2)
McGee adds a fluency to Schiavonia's game, spraying passes around the park almost at will. Only downside is that he diesn't score as many himself as he could do. Will be looking to put that right this campaign.

26. Horatio Besenares (Atletico Unimo [31] Caps:21 Goals:2)
Skillful right winger though he may be, Besenares only doesn't play much because of the formation the Schiavone team usually plays. Is good enough to be a back-up attacking central midfielder, too.

27. Calum Porse (Cartfield Athletic [32] Caps:19 Goals:2)
Another victim of Lowe's preferred 4-3-3 formation is left winger Porse. Not as skillful as Besenares, but still a worthy enough opponent and lightening quick with it.


FORWARDS

31. Jermaine Edwards (Kingsbury Monarchs [24] Caps:23 Goals:18)
Still quite young, pacy striker who has been prolific to date. Has come into his own during the Cup of Harmony (where he was arguably the best player on show) and in ASMV.

32. Seamus Bradley (Threlo Rovers [23] Caps:15 Goals:6)
Another youngster that big things are expected from, Bradley had also had a good showing recently, and being the big strong guy next to the pacy Edwards shows that Schiavonia's goal scoring is in safe hands.

33. Paolo Di Mascherenasi (Atletico Unimo [32] Caps:51 Goals:25)
Tricky forward who can produce the most unexpected things, and a prolific scorer to boot. However, when we say unexpected, we do mean bad as well as good.

34. Craig McAndrew (Mirksdove Rifles [35] Caps:64 Goals:20)
The most unlucky man in Schiavone football, McAndrew knows where the goal is, but his games often end up being cut short due to some unfortunate minor injury he's picked up.

36. Tony Tarmey (Welkay Lakeside [33] Caps:71 Goals:51)
The most famous Schiavone player internationally for his goalscoring exploits, he's the guy every young Schiavone wants to be. Not particularly skillful, but knows how to kick a football past a goalkeeper into a goal. Which is a good thing to be able to do.


Retiring from the squad are...

CB. Marcus Pine (Kingsbury Monarchs [33] Caps:7)
RB. Arnold O'Kane (Kingsbury Monarchs [39] Caps:73 Goals:2)
LB. Fernando Smith (Atletico Unimo [37] Caps:73 Goals:3)
CM. Paul Weir (Threlo Rovers [39] Caps:51 Goals:3)

Only four players are dropping out of this squad between cups, three of whom have played over fifty times each for the Sloths. Full-backs Fernando Smith and Arnold O'Kane and midfielder Paul Weir have been popular throughout the forty-six islands during their playing careers. Smith and O'Kane will be sadly missed bombing up and down the flanks supporting the attacks, while Weir has been gradually phased out of the midfield, allowing the equally reliable Eric Berry to take over. However, this means that Schiavonia will be taking one of the oldest squads in the cup around with them, so this is probably the last chance for a fair number of the star players on show (Park, Marsden, Sanderson, Tarmey, etc.).


Our first choice line-up is as follows...


1. Holmes


19. Williams 11. Park 12. Marsden 18. O'Faherty


21. Sanderson 25. McGee 23. Berry


33. Di Mascherenasi 36. Tarmey 31. Edwards


However, there are two alternative formations that are sometimes used. One is the traditional 4-4-2...


1. Holmes


19. Williams 11. Park 12. Marsden 18. O'Faherty


26. Besenares 21. Sanderson 25. McGee 27. Porse


31. Edwards 36. Tarmey



...the other, a less traditional variation on the same formation, a 2-4-2-2.


1. Holmes


11. Park 12. Marsden


19. Williams 23. Berry 25. McGee 17. Smith

21. Sanderson 24. Caine


31. Edwards 36. Tarmey

Chuck Norris News
For All Of Your Fighting Norris Coverage

Welcome back all of you viewers, it’s time for the 29th World Cup! Now that the Fighting Norris are ranked 55th in the World, they will rarely be considered the underdog as they were in years past. However, we’re sure they will perform as good as ever, but what’s a squad without a roster. We just happened to get our hands on a copy of the Fighting Norris’ World Cup 29 roster and we’re going to show it now!

The Roster of Mr Chuck Norris
# Name-Amount of Goals in World Cup sanctioned events
Head Coach
Bob Janney
● He is infamous for his in-depth group analysis, but not for his coaching ability. While some people may view this as a problem, Bob Janney always manages to squeeze out some good wins in World Cup play. If you don't know this man, you do not know the Fighting Norris.
Goalkeepers
1 Mr. Bednarik
● His humble beginnings as a hockey goalie paved the way for a semi-successful goalkeeping career. Although the Fighting Norris defense has struggled recently, Mr. Bednarik has held strong as the Fighting Norris' main goalkeeper.
2 Allen Price
● His ego frustrates many players on the team. However, in the event that Mr. Bednarik cannot goalkeep for any particular reason, Allen Price will have to step up to the plate.
Defenders
3 ♪
● Recruited off the streets of downtown New Poorleans, ♪ can’t speak any understandable language and despite being on the team for several years, no one knows anything about him. However, he’s proven that he can in fact contribute to a national football defense and has played a key role in several matches.
7 Jack Moon
● A player who has actually emerged with some talent, he has certainly helped the Fighting Norris defense. He is the primary substitute in the Fighting Norris defense.
8 Scottest Hovest
● The self proclaimed best Scott in the world, his ego is second only to Allen Price’s. However, while Price can’t back up his talk, this man can (most of the time).
13 Yianni Karvo
● Just to warn everyone now, Yianni plays dirty. Now that he has been forced to move to the defender position from the midfield, he may be more dangerous than ever.
Midfielders
9 Pat Smock
● Easily the second most famous man in The Holy Empire of Mr Chuck Norris (the first needing no explanation). He is best known for appearances on AA Live, mass producing the 512 Disc DVD set “Mass and You” and attending random leadership conferences. He was originally recruited to the team to generate ticket sales. However, he's also shown potential on the field.
10 Donald Rump
● Responsible for supporting Mr Chuck Norris’ “Frightening” economy, this man’s surprisingly got some talent. With four midfielders now, he may actually get some play time in.
12 Zach Brickhouse 1 Goal
● He was one of Japan’s best midfielders until he was deported for skipping one day of school. The first and only Fighting Norris midfielder to date with a goal.
14 Randy Cross
● Easily has the biggest afro of any player on any team. This man, along with Pat Smock, is the primary substitute for the Fighting Norris midfield.
15 Paper Mario
● And you thought he was just a video game character. His weightlessness and aerodynamic form allow him to cover a great amount of the field, making him a deadly midfielder. Although no one has tallied the amount of assists this player has, we can assure you it’s by far the most on the team.
17 OJ Pimpson 4 Goals
● Let’s just say he’s got a deadly shot. He started with the Fighting Norris as a forward, then became what was know as a "transitional forward". Now with more midfield than ever before, Pimpson has been moved to the midfielder position with high hopes of a good tourney.
18 The Burger King 3 Goals
● That’s right, you all know him. His dashing smile and uncanny speed make him a threat in any match.
Assistant Forwards
19 Brian Boitano 9 Goals
● He has proven himself worthy of being alongside such talent as Chuck Norris and John Fedo by scoring 6 goals in his first World Cup. His best feat to date was scoring a hat trick against Giant Zucchini in a vital Cup of Harmony match.
20 John Fedo 9 Goals
● John Fedo has already been making some noise on the World Cup stage despite only being around for a couple of tourneys. This man and Brian Boitano have shown that they produce when working in tandem, making them vital players to the team.
Spearpoint Forward
16 Chuck Norris 40 Goals
● Two Words: Roundhouse Kick. This man is the heart and soul of the team and will not hesitate to score a goal in any given match.

Here to comment on the new roster is the Fighting Norris' humble coach, Bob Janney.

"Hello everyone, do you like the roster I posted? Notice that I've had trouble recruiting, but there has been some major changes to the lineup. I'd first like to comment on our new formation. We have decided to make a huge shift in formation by cutting out most of the offense and putting it into defensive positions. Notably, long time forwards OJ Pimpson and The Burger King have been moved to the midfield to play a larger area of the field. However, should any of our forwards get injured, they will be replaced by one of these two men. Their empty midfield positions will then be filled with either Pat Smock or Randy Cross. I know this defensive position is very new for us, but I'm still coaching with a severely offensive strategy. Hopefully you fans will embrace this new lineup, as it will be used for World Cup 29."

To make it even easier for you viewers, we've decided to include a color-coded visual to assist you in understanding the Fighting Norris' new formation.

MISSING MANAGER - MIKE BASSETT
Previous Managerial Posts - Peterborough, Norwich, England,
Bio - After famously guiding England to the semi final of the Brazilian World Cup, Bassett was greeted back home in his native country as a hero, and he famously announced he would continue the role as manager for "4 more years". Sadly, this never materialised as the FA announced that they would not be offering Bassett a new contract. The Government of Elrich saw their opportunity and beat off fierce competition to sign Bassett as National Manager in June 2005. After a series of "nearly" qualifying campaigns, Bassett entered World Cup 27 under pressure. He never emerged. Is he alive? Is he dead? Does Hobble have him? Could he be a werewolf? Will he ever be involved in Elrichian football again?

Preferred Formation - Four, Four, F****** Two

CARETAKER MANAGER Ahmad Elrich - See below. The Elrichian hero takes over in a low point in Elrich's history, following the disappearance of Bassett, and the failure of Dave Dodds.

Preferred Formation - Four, Four, Two

ASSISTANT - Dave Dodds - Got his chance as maganger but failed miserably
COACHES - Zoltan Pepper, Pete Zaria and ex-player Vinnie Jones
PHYSIO - Wilma Leggrowback

THE SQUAD

1 GORDON BURNS
This famous news presenter and ex-presenter of the Krypton Factor has his own cult following back home in his native Elrich known as Team GB. Gordon is a favourite with the Elrich crowd and expecially the song-writers. Burns is calm and collected with safe hands and incredible shot stopping ability. Has impressed in his international exploits so far

2 BARRY SCOTT
Fresh from his advertising exploits with Cillit Bang, the Badger's fullback is famous for his stout, resolute defending and attacking flair. Despite a facial injury which has plagued Scott in the past, Barry reassures the press that he is GOOD AS NEW!!!

4 METHUSELAH
The clever centre-half is greatly respected in Elrichian Football. Although previously thought to lack the physical attributes to make it at International level, there is no doubting the man's commitment, temperament and knowledge. Bassett will be hoping he is the perfect calming influence on his centre-half counterpart Wolfman.

666 THE WOLFMAN
Was the Wolfman the first of his species to take part in a World Cup? Replacing the retiring Vinnie Jones with an even more intimidating defender would at first glance seem impossible, but Bassett created an international debate when he included him in his World Cup 26 squad. Emerging from the nations large circus community, he has the ability to "make his mark" not only on football, but on the players he comes up against (and plays with) as well. Although his strength, power and energy is unquestionable he remains a huge gamble. Discipline is a huge problem and the Circus Bohemians' man is also prone to "howlers" of mistakes.

3 Ringo Bingo
The young Hullabaloo left-back's pace, flair and catchy name brought him to the attention of the Badger's Manager and Bingo will be hoping to convert his domestic form into international performances.

6 ROBIN BANKS
Surprise inclusion, but only due to the fact he has been allowed to leave his sentence at the National State prison for the 5th time in successive tournaments to join up with the squad. There is no doubting Banks' on-field fiery ability, but it is off the field where his record is less impressive. Banks was, until his call-up, serving another two-year sentence due to his part in a train Bank Robbery. On the pitch the central midfielder is a great ballwinner, strong in the tackle and uses his physical ability to the edge of the laws, and sometimes beyond them.

7 MATTHEW "DIDDY" ALLEN
The 4 foot wonderkid is only 16 years of age but has burst onto the international scene with a bang. His useful knack of being able to run through defenders legs can only be to his advantage, but he is not exactly an aerial threat.

8 JOHN SPINKS
The fiery red-head midfielder in his earlier days was thought to be named SKNIPS due to a printing error on his shirt, where his name was spelt backwards. He contributes goals and creativity from midfield and forms a useful partnership with the more defensive Robin Banks.

99 ZEBEDEE
The dazzling, skilful and tricky winger is from Jamaican descent and his dazzling skills quite literally dazzle everyone. Despite often being laughed at by opposition fans for his thin "chickenish" legs, he is a real Bobby Dazzler (except he's not called Bobby). His golden boots do half the dazzling for him. Often decides to dazzle an extra 5 players for the fun of it rather than having a shot.

81 ELRICH (C)
Legend. The King and leader of the country will carry the nations hopes on his shoulders. Although not physically built for such a sport, it is his intelligence which makes him special, he sees things others cannot, and his finishing is unchallenged. His incredible footballing exploits abroad with Busan Icons earned him such Heroic status that not a street, but the Nation itself was named after him, and he was announced leader of his Kingdom. All time leading goalscorer, but increasing in age and status as leading striker with the emergence of Jamie Mudge. Will always be a legend as a player. Now he has his chance to do so as Manager.

11 JAMIE MUDGE
From non-league obscurity to the national side in the matter of minutes, the Tiverton Town striker was a surprise addition to the World Cup 24 squad. Despite from being far from a house-hold name in Elrich, the young striker scored an immense 59 goals in his clubs promotion through the non-league ranks. His loyalty to his hometown club has been incredible, bordering on insane. He has turned down offers to join Premier League sides including Scumchester United and manager Mike Bassett insisted that Mudge had the talent to perform on the big stage. Bassett was proved right, a sensation at the World Cup 24 qualifiers Mudgie followed this up with a bucketful of goals in World Cup 25 qualification, and is now a regular starter.

SUBS

20 NORBERT SCARMANGA
Offering attacking threat from full-back is something the international side has lacked in recent years, but unfoNorbert has found it hard to cement a place in the starting 11.

10 JIMMY GRIMBLE
He no longer needs his magic boots and the Manchester City youngster despite not breaking into his club team, has already established himself as a class striker for his national side. His skills and pace are legendary. Last years fallout with a set of Elrichian fans after continually being shouted at to "Pass it to bloody Elrich" appear to have now ended. Despite a reasonable international record, the emergence of Jamie Mudge has pushed Grimble back onto the bench.

13 HUBERT BUSBY JNR
This 1 eyed, 1 legged, 1 armed goalkeeper was always the last to be picked at school. The people of Elrich pray he will not be called into action. Elrich insists that Busby's 5,000,000 donation to the National FA was nothing to do with his inclusion in the squad.

14 RICHARD HODGINS
SUBMARINE, SUBMARINE, He's the famous Richard Hodgins and he lives in a Submarine, SUBMARINE, SUBMARINE, he's the famous Richard Hodgins and he lives in a Submarine. What the Navy FC midfielder lacks in footballing ability, he more than makes up for with his legendary song. A National Hero.

15 DAN SINGH-QUEEN
Although his celebrations make Michael Jackson look like Scooby Doo, the agile striker has yet to really get going with the national side. He finally opened his account for the Badgers in World Cup 24 - albeit after having made a complete fool of himself impressively celebrating 3 disallowed goals earlier in the tournament. World Cup 27 was a breakthrough campaigns for Singh-Queen, and there are many calling for him to be a regular starter.

16 JEREMIAH After banging on the international door for a number of years, the cousin of Zebedee is now established in Mike Bassett's squad. A similar player in style to his cousin Zebedee, the pacey trickey winger is able to play on either side and will hope to play a part.

17 CORNELIUS CUCUMBER
Cucumber has impressed for the Elrichian side Sweet as a Moose FC this season and the versatile player, is at home at full-back or in midfield. Hailing from an extremely upper-class background, Cornelius upset his parents when he rejected his father's sport of "Polo" to persue a career in the "common" game of football. Technically very tidy.

18 SCATMAN JOHN
The Team Snavsninkstencottiddy defender is included as direct competition to the aging Barry Scott at right-back. Critics would like to see the man named after a dodgy nineties pop-star established in the first-team, and Scatman John will hope to make that right-back slot his own by the end of the competition.

19 NIGEL WIGGLE
Wiggle wriggles his way into the squad after impressive scoring performances for Hullabaloo AFC in the NSFA Cup. At home in midfield or attack the young natural finisher is expected to be in the starting 11 before too long.

THE NEW MEN

21 Dave Benson-Phillips
The days of "Get your own back" are over, and good old Dave has now returned from international television to return to his first love, Football. Having played at Sweet as a Moose FC in his teens, Dave made the choice to go over to TV but may now have a chance to make his mark on Football.

23 Matthew "Showbiz" Jackson
GIVE ME THE BALL!!!! HOT DAWG HOT DAWG! The legend that is Showbiz makes the transition from his basketball exploits with the Harlem Globetrooters to ply his trade in football. A huge physical presence, with bags of skill can only benifit the national side, but his tendancy to deliberately argue with the ref and talk to the crowd during games may be a serious disadvantage.

5678 "H" from Steps
A surprise inclusion, but not when you consider that he is Elrich's biggest pop-star. Increased revenue from merchandise and increased interest in the national game are a certain following his inclusion, but with player/manager Elrich admitting he'd never seen the ex-Steps man play, whether he can actually play football is unknown.



and finally......

99 PETER HOBBLE
Disappeared a long time ago. Possible murderer of Mike Bassett? Will he ever be found, will he ever play for Elrich? Is he Elrichian? Is he Bazalonian? Is he a Werewolf? Is he registered to play? Who knows

After the disaster of WC28 and the turmoil of the 3rd Dragon Invitational, the Wentland FA decided to appoint Tommy Barnes, the player-manager of consecutive double winners Crowhurst, to take charge of the national team for World Cup XXIX.

There was a lot of criticism of the decision from ex-pros, who thought that the squad would be filled with Crowhurst players. And they were right, but the squad listing was somewhat unexpected.

1. ROBINSON David G/k 24 Thatchem Utd
2. EAGER David R/b 22 Melboro
3. JARVIS Raymond L/b 23 Blackport
4. BATESON Mike C/h 28 Blackport
5. NEWTON Leonard C/h 21 Maitland Utd
6. vacant
7. DEVEY Thomas Mfd 32 Royal Heath
8. TREVES Francis Fwd 29 Warpstone
9. EDMUNDS John Mfd 22 Royal Heath
10. WESTON Joseph Mfd 29 Royal Heath
11. KENT Cosmo Mfd 30 Warpstone
12. GILBERT Mervyn G/k 19 Royal Heath
13. LAWRENCE Wm Mfd 21 Blackport
14. TRACEY Dennis G/k 27 Crowhurst
15. TALBOT Ian R/b 27 Crowhurst
16. LANE John C/h 27 Crowhurst
17. MOON Steven C/h 27 Crowhurst
18. TANNER Robert L/b 27 Crowhurst
19. LODER Adrian Mfd 27 Crowhurst
20. JONES Benjamin Mfd 27 Crowhurst
21. BARNES Thomas Fwd 27 Crowhurst
22. COLLINS Neil Fwd 27 Crowhurst
23. COOPER Norman Fwd 27 Crowhurst
24. DAVEY Peter Fwd 27 Crowhurst


This got the Press talking. "Are the Crowhurst players all going to be second choice?"

"Surely Barnesy's going to pick himself?"

"A 4-5-1? From a manager that goes 4-3-1-2 more often than not?"

"Is he gonna co-ordinate from the sidelines?"

Tommy Barnes was keeping his counsel. In truth he had decided to assuage the non-Crowhurst players by giving them the numbers 1-11, save of course for number 6 that was going to be left blank in this World Cup. And as for tactics? It would probably be 4-3-1-2, but whichever he would play he would instil an attacking mentality that would lead to a +1 modifier.

As for how the Press of the other countries would treat Wentland matches...he did not care at all.

But his real initial line-up was probably going to be:

Talbot Bateson Moon Tanner

Loder Weston Kent

Treves
Barnes Cooper

Sports Office Releases Roster!
Geriatric Team Brings Slim Hopes of Success

WITH THE TEAM IN BALDHEATH -- Iansisle’s World Cup XXIX roster reads like an all-time all-stars record. Unfortunately, Henry Cotton at a ‘young’ 39 is far and away the rookie of the team. Old-timers Ben Abernathy, Conrad Brandt, and ancient John Copplestone, all between 51 and 64, anchor the roster, while fresh youngsters without a single international game to their credit fill the bench.

Exactly how paraplegic manager Truman expects the Ians to compete in the Twenty-Ninth playing of the World Cup is frankly beyond even the Star-Tribune’s most brilliant sportswriters.

At least the Ians will lose in style; their new kits arrived from Ediraf just before practice yesterday. On the home kits, a white spread winged Gull, with one wing tip at the small of the back and then stretching across the chest so that the other wing tip is tucked under the left armpit, soars over a red field with the numbers in white on the back. The away kits are the reverse -- red Gull on a white background with red numbers and the word ‘Iansisle’ in red on the right shoulder.

Truman also announced that he planned to play a 3-4-3 formation (rated as “+0” by experts), with himself, Copplestone, and Lyons forming the striking line. The roster detailed:

Strikers
Henry Cotton (39, wearing #10)
Brian Lyons (45, wearing #21)
John Copplestone (64, wearing #3)

Midfielders
Albert Greene (58, wearing #5)
Geoffrey Tagger (40, wearing #26)
Walter Cecil (42, wearing #20)
Robbie Johnson (49, wearing #1)

Defencemen
Conrad Brandt (62, wearing #50)
Martin Brandt (41, wearing #25)
Thomas Houser (45, wearing #7)

Goalkeeper
Bennie Abernathy (63, wearing #2)

The reserves are made up of a number of young scrubs apparently selected by random lottery from Iansisle’s professional league. None of them are worth mentioning after the pathetic friendly we saw them play again the aging starters.

The Ians are the team with the strongest connection to its history in the World Cup, if only because Iansisle as a nation has not managed to produce any footballers better than those it can call out of the retirement homes.

(wondering what happened to the zombies? click here! (http://forums.jolt.co.uk/showpost.php?p=11134711&postcount=37))

Praying2God Warriors Roster

Head Coach: Paul Johnson

He is the only Head Coach the Warriors have had since returning to WC competition. This is now his 7th WC as Head Coach, and he has a career record of 47-40-25 (wins-losses-ties), including a 4-5-1 record in WC finals competition. Expectations are high for this WC after the Warriors’ first ever appearance in the 2nd Round. Being one of the top 20 teams in the world means expectations are higher than ever, and disappointment could mean jeopardizing his job.

Assistant Coach: John Ball
Goalie Coach: Mark Williams
Trainer: Mary Ann Glover

All of the assistant trainers know their roles, and are outstanding in them. In particular, Goalie Coach Mark Williams is becoming renowned throughout the world as one of the best in the business at what he does. Trainer Mary Ann Glover always seems to have the Warriors peaking at just the right time physically.

G: Sarah (Walker) Larson (age 40)*

Sarah is one of the best goalies in the world. If the Warriors can get her a lead, the other team is in big trouble, as she finds a way to take her game up a notch when she's protecting a lead, especially in the late stages. She has also gone down in Warriors soccer lore for scoring the match-winning goal against Giant Zucchini in WC XXI.

G: Susan Walker (24)

Sarah’s younger sister is one of the most talented upcoming keepers in Praying2God. She might not see much action, but she can do the job when called upon better than most. She will be able to learn a lot from her sister by being on the roster, and is expected to take her sister’s place in the starting line-up when she retires.

D: Christine Holly (40)*

Christine has become the heart and soul of the Warriors’ defense. Her offensive capabilities make her the most likely Warriors defender to score, especially since she takes most corner kicks. However, she's more known for her defensive abilities. Her younger sister, Kylie is also on the Warriors’ roster. She may be approaching the end of her long career on the Warriors national team.

D: Haley Erickson (28)*

No longer the youngster of the starts that she used to be, Haley has worked hard since moving into the line-up leading up to WC XXVI to prove that she belongs here. Haley is a defensive defender, so don’t expect to see much from her in the scoring department.

D: Stephanie Vickner (28)*

Stephanie is also a member of the youth movement the Warriors went through as the Warriors players that had been around since WC XX started to retire. Her defensive skills have earned her her place in the starting line-up, as the Warriors defense isn’t needed to help spur the offense like it used to be. Stephanie is another defensive defender, so she won’t do much scoring.

D: Danielle Karlson (28)*

Danielle is a very solid defensive player, and now has a WC of experience under her belt. She might add the occasional assist, but don’t go looking for her to score any goals, much like the defender she replaced, Claire Paulson.

D: Ryan Stone (26)
D: Linda Storm (24)
D: Tony Wall (19)

This group of reserve defenders is fairly young, but very talented. They would not be much of a drop off from the starters if pressed into action, though the lack of experience might eventually show itself. All of them mark their assignment very well, and are good passers.

M: Brittany Law (24)*

The first player that earned multiple appearances while on the Warriors bench, Brittany has not disappointed since moving into the Warriors line-up. There are some that are already suggesting that she may be the next Ashley Gore, and they appear to be right, as she’s scored eight goals and added five assists in her three WCs. Brittany also scored a goal during the group stage of WC XXVI, so she’s proven herself against tough opposition. Look for her to provide a spark to the Warriors offense.

M: Kylie Holly (39)*

While more offensively minded than her sister, Christine, who leads the Warriors defense, Kylie is still a very good defensive player. She contributes a decent amount on the offensive end, collecting five goals and ten assists in her three WCs. She might also stick around longer than most players her age because she keeps herself in very good condition, but she probably will only be around for a couple more WCs. She is an outstanding passer and has great ball control.

M: Sarah Toliver (24)*

Sarah is a good all-around player, much like her predecessor, Alissa Madison. Sarah has already proven to be productive on the offensive end of the field, scoring eight points (three goals and five assists) in her three WCs for the Warriors. She gives the Warriors another very capable offensive threat in the midfield, but her defense doesn’t give up anything as she can stay with just about anybody. She has great body control.

M: Nicole Small (25)*

Nicole is one of two new additions to the Warriors line-up after the retirement of legendary Warriors midfielder, Ashley Gore. Nicole appeared in three matches during WC XXVIII in preparation for her move to the starting line-up. She did get an assist in the Warriors in the match the Warriors clinched a spot in the group play stage of WC XXVIII in.

M: Alison Red (24)
M: Adam White (22)
M: Crystal Berry (18)
M: Elizabeth Stone (26)

A very talented up-and-coming group of midfielders. This group has nice balance to it, and would be a group that compliments itself quite nicely if it would ever start together. All of them are quality players on both sides of the ball, with Alison being the most defensive minded. Adam is an extremely smart player who should learn how to play well at this level very quickly.

F: Thomas Larson (40) Captain*

Arguably one of the greatest players in the game today, and by far the most well-known Warriors player. He has the ability to score anytime he touches the ball, no matter where he is on the field. This is his fifth WC as the official Warriors captain. Hands down, the Warriors’ leading scorer, having poured in 96 points (68 goals, 28 assists) in his eight WCs, in only 118 matches. Defenses try to focus on shutting him down, but with all the offensive talent between the forwards and midfielders, it is hard to double him at all times.

F: Amy Elder (28)*

Amy finally gets her chance to start for the Warriors after the retirement of legendary Warriors forward, Kelly Carter. Amy has certainly made the most of her opportunities off the bench, scoring three goals in four matches.

F: Jenna Polk (21)
F: Marie Sullivan (17)

A pair of very talented back-up forwards. Jenna has a lot of learning to do, but she has a pair of very good players in front of her that will all probably be around for a couple more WCs (at least), so she’ll have plenty of time to learn. Marie has a lot of potential once she gets used to playing with the national team.

Crescentini Named Head Coach Of National Team

ROENTGEN (JNS) - Following a exhaustive search for a new National Team Head Coach, the Department of Culture and Sport, and the Becquerelian National Football Federation announced that Mark Crescentini will take over the reins of the National Team.

The National Team's former Head Coach, Macarius Ransome, announced he would not return to coaching following the end of his last contract. He stated that "...my wife told me to pick football or her, and she doesn't drive me as crazy." This led to a exhausting, five-month search for a new coach. A panel of six football experts interviewd and searched before finally settling on Crescentini.

Crescentinti, a former midfielder, is widly considered to be one of the best players ever from the nation of Becquerelia. Following a incredibly successful pro career that took him around the world, he began coaching. Following nine years as a assistant coach, he took over the Gridelin Rovers Football Club in 2011 at the age of 47.

In his three years as head coach of the Rovers, the team qualified for the post season twice, and has finished overall with a 23-28-12 record. Reportedly, Crescentini's Rovers contract has been picked up by the BNFF, and extended for four years, meaning he will coach the national team for six years. The deal is reportedly worth 8.5 million Courtains over the course of the contract.

While Crescentini was unavailable to comment, the BNFF did announce the addition of two assistant coaches. Sixty-seven year old David Lotter, a former coach for Alghul University, and a member of the Head Coach Search Committee for the DCS was named one assistant. Also named was Peter Constantine, the ex-captain of the National Team.

From Athletics Magazine

THE TEST
How good is the National Team looking to qualify for World Cup 29? Athletics magazine gives the whole team their grades.
By Nicholas Archambeault
COACHING:
The head coach has a career record around .500 at the pro level, one assistant coach is a older cypher, the other is a ex-player with no coaching experience. Needless to say, it doesn't appear that coaching is going to be this team's strong point. Mark Crescentini is promising a more open offense, but a return of the 5-3-2 formation made famous by Macarius Ransome and his two plodding National Teams. We're just giddy.
OVERALL GRADE: D+

Head Coach:
Mark Crescentini, age 50
Considered one of the best players to ever come of out Becquerelia, Crescentini was hired after three average years coaching in the A-League

Assistant Coaches:
David Lotter, age 67
Longtime coach at the college level, he served on the search committee to hire Crescentini.

Peter Constantine, age 37
Captain for two straight World Cup qualifying attempts, Peter has hung up his cleats to become a coach.


FORWARDS:
Macarius Ransome was known to run his forwards ragged, and had them lead his offenses. Under was has to be considered Crescentini's system, this job is held more by the midfielders, while the front men attack for the ball and try to stop the other team from setting up offensive sets in their side. Reflecting this, these forwards have less international experience, but are better at headers and tackling than forwards in the past. And they look pretty good at it too.
OVERALL GRADE: B-

#8 Gregory Conveniencia, age 25, Starter
Gregory didn't fit in under Ransome, but appears to have found a patron in Coach Crescentini. He played under Lotter in college.

#5 Razak Khalef, age 29, Starter
Solid, scrappy, with a nice crosser that he can bury with nice accuracy. A bit on the short side though.

#20 Ravennus DuMoulin, age 27
Ravennus stands 6'4", and can jump 30 plus inches straight up. Should he see playing time, he'll get every jump ball that comes his way.


MIDFIELDERS:
Overall, the midfielders are the most seasoned group of players on the team. Abigantus has experience in two World Cup qualifying attempts under his belt, the Annunziata twins have one each. Hedglin is a vetern of playing outside of the country, and has truly come into his own as of late. All four are good, solid, dependable defenders. This, however, may present a problem. Crescentini is best played with quick, inventive midfielders who know how to create their own plays on the field, and these four are at best solid players, no truly imaginitive players in the bunch. We'll have to see how it works out.
OVERALL GRADE: C

#18 Daniel Abigantus, age 34, Starter, Captain
Expect this captain to be much like Becquerelia's last captain Peter Constantine: lead by example and score most of the goals.

#22 Niceaus Annunziata, age 27, Starter
One minute older than Paul (Born at 8:22 PM, get it?), he also leads his brother in goals. And in yellow cards awarded. He's never one not to mix it up.

#23 Paul Annunziata, age 27, Starter
One minute younger than Niceaus, these two's friendly rivalry can help both be better players on the pitch, but then they tend to not pass the ball to each other.

#7 John Hedglin, age 30
Who is John Hedglin? A underachiever with several Becquerelian teams, he came into his own out of country. But still, don't expect to see him play much.

DEFENDERS:
Always a strong point on any Becquerelia team, the shift of Ambrose Wainwright back not only adds some talent, it adds to a already present nasty streak. Wainwright will anchor the back line, Strazzabosco and Al Abtah will take up the sides, Wuestenberg and Rajabzadeh will lead the center. Plus, back-ups Quiralte and Trentacoste are versatile enough to play anywhere in the defense. If the National Team qualifys, it will be thanks to these guys.
OVERALL GRADE: A-

#12 Thomas Strazzabosco, age 32, Starter
A strong player on the left flank, expect him to take advantage of the more open offense by scoring even more than he has.

#17 Tychon Wuestenberg, age 28, Starter
Great ball skills in traffic, though his long passes and shots tend to drift. His job will be to feed to ball to other players.

#10 Ziyad Al Abtah, age 24, Starter
Blazingly fast, Al Abtah can create space in traffic, opening up scoring opportunities downfield. Like Wuestenberg, not the best shooter.

#3 Ali Rajabzadeh, age 29, Starter
Unbelievably tough, he's been known to simply go through opposing players that try to take the ball.

#11 Ambrose Wainwright, age 35, Starter
Ex-midfielder, oldest starter on the team. He may have lost a step, be he can still hack-and-slash with the best (or worse) of them.

#9 Phillip Trentacoste, age 26
Very ambitious, has publicly announced that he hopes a good World Cup will lead to a big contract out of country. He'll play enough minutes to get that chance.

#15 Matthew Quiralte, age 23
The youngest player on the team, Matthew is very good at finding a open man and getting the ball to him.


GOALKEEPERS:
A weak, weak link, which is the last thing you want in net minders. With David Deneen closing in on the end of a great career and his skills in a precipitous decline, it's up to the maddingly inconsistant Tyrannio Licaussi to step up, which he's never been able to quite do. At the very least Tyrannio is a good kicker, so he can help set up the offense downfield, which was something Deneen has had trouble with.
OVERALL GRADE: D-

#19 Tyrannio Licaussi, age 27, Starter
When he's on his game, he's spectacular, when he's not, he's spectacularly awful.

#2 David Deneen, age 36
The starter in two straight World Cup qualifying attempts, now serves as a steady back-up and mentor.

OVERALL:
One can only be hopeful, but it doesn't seem like these men will make up any sort of Becquerelian golden generation of football. But, we did almost make it out of qualifying in our first time out, and these guys seem better than that team, so there might be a chance. We would feel alot better if someone other than Tyrannio Licausi was in goal though.
OVERALL GRADE: C

Queldereno Estati A Nikeaelir Kastari
Roster for the Glorious State of Nikea

World Cup XXIX marks the return of the Pandas, the Nikean National Team
who was much loved by the public but never really made a huge impact on
the international scene. The Nikeans were more known for their
temporary one-day ban on the wearing orange and blue together on a day
that just so happened to be the same day that the Orange-Blues of
Rejistania visited; they were also known along with Oglethorpia for
staging a half-time walk out in qualifying in protest of the increasing
bureaucracy of the Olgethorpian FA. Following the long lasting
Templarid Esterianu, or Templaric Revolution, the new Nikean
government has once again found it prudent to invest in rebuilding the
old team. Perhaps sometime in the future, the Pandas may progress past
the group stage of the Finals. Who knows?

Manager: Hikaren Spritethel
The man that the Nikean FA has chosen to lead the first charge of the
Pandas is Hikaren Spritethel, former head of NPL champions AS Miserias,
and also the best defender Miserias has ever had. Due to his former
position, he predictably prefers a more defensive approach, however it
is not unheard of for the Pandas to press forward from time to time
along the wings.

Bettia World Cup 29 Squad

Style Modifier

We don't do defence - we trash defence.
In typically gung-ho fashion, Bettia will be playing with as positive a style modifier as possible (+2), utilising a highly attacking 3-4-3 / 3-2-5 formation.

Roleplaying

If RPing first, the FAB give our opponents permission to RP / godmod pretty much anything they like... just don't kill or maim anyone, cos that's just not very nice is it?



The Enlightener, the Blessed Realm's brightest daily, is pleased to announce Bettia's squad for their latest World Cup, and it's an intriguing blend of youth and experience. We all know what they're like on the pitch, but what are they like on the inside? We asked sports psychologist Geoff Winterstone to delve into the minds of our squad to answer the pertinent question - what kind of animal would they be?


Manager:
Stuart Abdul-Rahim
"Bettia's former star striker has certainly injected a real attacking mindset into the team with his oft-repeated mantra 'We don't do defence'. I think if he was an animal, he'd be a wasp - he won't rest with just one goal, his team'll keep stinging and stinging and stinging until their opponents cry out for mercy."


Goalkeepers:

1. Ricardo DiTorino - Akani Sands, age 28, 121 caps.
"Yes, I think that if Bettia's long-time number one shot stopper was an animal, he'd most likely be a cat, what with his amazing agility. He also enjoys tearing expensive furniture to shreds."

2. Safwan Sulaiman - Irogil FC (Vilita), age 20, 5 caps
"Young Sulaiman, one of many former Under-21s who have graduated to the senior squad. If he was an animal, he'd be a monkey, thanks to his amazing acrobatics and his safe pair of hands. He also enjoys vandalising cars."


Defence:

3. Gwynoro Tyrno'r - Makosile United (Vilita), age 28, 88 caps, 1 goal.
"A former under-21 who has become a veritable rock in the Aroras defence. If he was an animal, he would be a bear - go in for a 50-50 challenge with this fellow, and you could be feeling more than just a little grizzly. Just don't leave any pic-a-nic baskets laying about nearby."

4. Stephen Harris - Grappenhall, age 22, 5 caps
"A talented youngster who has claimed a starting spot after a good showing in AOCAF 14. If he was an animal, hmmm, I'm not too sure, but he wouldn't be a donkey. Perhaps a shire horse, thanks to his tireless workrate and rather daft-looking haircut."

5. Jon McKinnon - Patriots Everton (Krytenia), age 29, 96 caps.
"A vastly experienced centre-back whose many sparkling displays in the green and gold have held Bettia together when put under the cosh. If he was an animal, he would be an owl - that's a wise old head on a relatively young pair of shoulders he's got there (thankfully, they're all his own). Watching this guy nick the ball off an opposing forward is a hoot."

6. John Hanson - Akani Sands, age 28, 40 Caps
"A more than capable centre-back with plenty of international experience. If he was an animal, he'd be a donkey - dependable, reliable, and very adept at hoofing the ball up the field. During the summer, he can be found on Akani Sands beach letting children ride on his back - parents needn't worry, it's not as dodgy as it sounds."

7. Clayton Howes - Lorshill City, age 21, 5 caps
"This lanky young centre-back is a very big prescence in his own penalty area, and also the opponents' area where he can cause all manner of trouble from set pieces. If he were an animal, he'd be a stork - his comically spindly legs are worth the admission fee alone."


Midfield:

8. Badr Warlow (captain) - Gabalfa City, age 30, 71 caps, 17 goals.
"This midfield general has almost unmatched prowess from dead-ball situations, and his leadership skills has seen him promoted to captain. His indomitable spirit and 'lord of all he surveys' attitude means that he'd be a lion, the king of all the beasts. Plus, his family all belong in a zoo."

9. Ali Ap Tegryn - Lorshill City, age 28, 35 caps, 6 goals
"Bettia's diminutive playmaker who has set up many a goal in his time. If he was an animal, he'd be a sparrow - small, energetic, boisterous, and very vocal. Very appropriate too - when he was a kid, he hung around in gangs making a lot of noise."

10. Ziyad Farmer - Porasse (Nedalia), age 28, 34 caps, 3 goals
"This Nedalia-based midfielder loves nothing more than to run with the ball from his central position to set up an attack. If he was an animal, he'd be a bull - his powerful charges up the middle are an imposing sight, plus like all good Bettians he absolutely loathes the colour red."

11. Cledwyn Foyle - Tamrida, age 22, 5 caps
"Cledwyn Foyle has proven to be an excellent passer of the ball, finding his teammates with pinpoint accuracy. If he was an animal, he'd be an eagle, and not because of the load screeching noises he makes when he scores a goal, or catches a rabbit."


Wingers:

12. Jamie Kingsholm - Grappenhall, age 28, 29 caps, 1 goal
"After a shaky start to his international career, Jamie Kingsholm has become a vital part of the Aroras machine. If he was an animal, he'd be a raven - if he left Bettia, we'd all be doomed (doomed in a footballing sense, anyway). He loves to dump on his opponents from a great height. (Hmmm... perhaps he'd be better as a seagull or a pigeon?)"

13. Jason Abdullah - Butetown Dragons, age 28, 81 caps
"Butetown's winger has the pace to put any defender to shame. He would most definately be a dragon, thanks to his firey temprement and legendary skill. Such a shame he doesn't have wings - now that would be cool."

14. Egryn Vaughan - Lorshill City, age 20, 5 caps, 1 goal
"Vaughan's trickery on the ball makes life very uncomfortable for any left-back unfortunate enough to be marking him. Bearing that in mind, if he was an animal he'd be a porcupine - very difficult to handle. You can insert your own 'prick' gags here."

15. Laurie LeClerc - Zupera (Nedalia), age 28, 35 Caps, 9 goals
"Zupera's flying winger is truly a sight to behold when in full flow. If he was an animal, he'd be a stallion - his magestic runs up the flanks are magnificent. According to his wife, he also has a massive cochjjkfbh... oh, do excuse me - I sneezed there."


Forwards:

16. Latif Hunter - Aigburth Athletic (Krytenia), age 28, 105 caps, 47 goals
"Bettia's wonderkid... well, he would be if he was ten years younger. He's still bloody dangerous though. Thanks to his lightning pace and the way he pounces on anything loose, he would obviously be a cheetah. That's where the similarity ends though - apparently, the rumours regarding some unusual spotted markings on his back are totally false."

17. Chris Hutton - Marine Coast United (Vilita), age 27, 130 caps, 61 goals
"Another Vilita-based player, Hutton would most probably be a terrier thanks to his sheer tenacity, pedigree and boundless energy. His 'cocking-his-leg-up-against-the-corner-flag' goalscoring celebration has to be seen to be believed."

18. Gwrlais Devanallt - Akani Sands, age 20, 5 caps, 5 goals
"A dangerous youngster who finally gets to strut his stuff on the big stage after tearing many an under-21 defence to shreds. If he were an animal, he would definately be an arora - he may look harmless enough, but take your eye of him for a second and he'll have your head off. Well, not literally of course, but you know what I mean."

19. Gwarthen Rhydderch - Lorshill United, age 20, 5 caps, 2 goals
"If young Mr Rhydderch an animal, he'd be a shark, and not because he lends his mates money at extortionately high interest rates. He's a very deadly predator who can rip defenders to pieces if they let their guard down for a split second."

20. Tariq Al-Jahani - Gabalfa Rovers, age 21, 5 caps, 1 goal
"Tariq is one of those players who seems to do nothing for eighty-nine minutes, and then BAM! He pops up in the right place at the right time and scores the vital winner. If he was an animal, he'd be a scorpion - this guy has one hell of a sting in his tail."

21. Ieuan Howerth - CPD Porthbalfa, age 28, 33 caps, 2 goals.
"Well this one's a no-brainer. No, I don't mean Howarth, I mean his animal alter-ego. In keeping with his club nickname, he's most definately a flea - he jumps around all over the place and irritates his opponants immensely."

Cataduanes

Having wowed the neutrals by qualifying on there debut in WC26 the ''Islanders'' failed to get to WC27 and made the quater finals of the COH, WC 28 saw the Islanders qualify but fail to make an impact on the first round. Since then legendary manager Jose Manua retired making way for the highly regarded Alonso Garza who had secured 3 domestic titles with Estrella Rojo. The squad is largely the same one that travelled to WC 28 with only the injury of Armando Ribera forcing the inclusion of a new face in the shape of the young Marcos De Benalmadena.



Coach: Alonso Garza (44)

Goalkeepers

1. Jose Sullop (GK) (la Union) (35)
A veteran of the Seleccion and still number one choice between the sticks.
12. Amadeo Vargas (Gk) (Minas) (28)
Still understudy to Sullop, has had a fantastic season in the domestic league.

Defenders

2. Jorge De Haro (L/R Center/Wing Back) (Estrella Rojo) (27)
Strong tackler with great technical ability with both feet.
3. Alfonso Boqueron (R Center Back) (Minas) (28)
Tall cultured defender, calm under pressure and decisive in the challenge.
4. Filipe Echevaria (Right Back) (La Union) (32)
Little wing back noted for pace and strength, the backbone of the defensive line and since WC 28 captain of the national side.
14. Mattias Lopez Cerro (L Center Back) (Minas) (28)
Combative wing back, noted for his highly strong temper and Macho posturing, nicknamed the Matador.
15. Angel Santos (R Center Back) (Minas) (29)
Another product of Minas club, Strong and reliable.
19. Jorge Merello (L Center Back) (Estrella Rojo) (26)
A product of the Estrella Rojo youth academy Great technical defender who packs a combination of strength and pace.

Midfielders

5. Toni Souletano (Central midfielder) (Minas) (28)
Easily the finest central midfielder on the island with an amazing work rate coupled with good technical abilities, a real box to box player with the stamina to last the 90 minutes. He has since WC28 become the golden boy of Cataduaño football.
6. Antonio Bata (Left Winger) (La Union) (28)
Impressive winger noted for his pace and first touch. Nephew of retired star Guillermo Bata.
7. Marco Ruedas (right midfield) (Atletico Basuanga) (35)
The idol of the eastern provinces of the island where his club, Minas, draw their support. A highly skilled player with a plethora of trickery at his disposal. However his ageing legs no longer have the blistering pace and WC29 will be his last tournament should the Islanders get there.
8. Butch Lim (Central Midfielder) (Estrella Rojo) (26)
Midfielder in the mould of the retired great Ferdinando Alomar, great range of passing combined with stunning work rate. Has developed a real understanding with Toni Souletano.
11. Marcos De benalmadena (Left/Center Midfielder) (La Republica) (22)
Highly regarded youngster, combining a good level of technique and pace. Called up to replace the injured Armando Ribera.
16. Luis Marron-Vega (Defensive midfielder) (Minas) (26)
A strong ball winner and distributor, has yet to break up the Souletano-Lim paretnership in the center of the park.
17. Felipe Quintanilla (Right winger/Midfielder) (Minas) (29)
Broke into the national sideafter WC27, a versatile and reliable player.

Strikers

9.Carlos Gaurin (Striker) (Alcantara)(35)
The heart and soul of his club, pint sized yet still blessed with pace despite his age and of course his plethora of outrageous skills are still in intact, still a sporting icon of the island who plans to enter local politics after retirement.
10. Jose Mahabal (Striker) (La Union) (29)
Noted for strength, height and pace, while lacking the technical aspects of Guarin or Sacario his sheer strength and determination are key assets, nicknamed ‘El Toro’ (The Bull).
14. Butch Sacario (Striker) (Estrella Rojo) (24)
A star prospect for Cataduanes, a natural goalscorer with a deadly left foot and blistering pace, a deadly box player as well.
18. Bonafacio Arambari (Striker) (Sakhayos) (25)
Has improved in leaps and bounds since WC28, noted for his heading abilities and strength in holding up the ball.



Starting 11 will line up like this...

Gk:Sullop
DL: De Haro
DR:Echevarria
DC:Lopez Cerro
DC:Boqueron
ML:Bata
MR:Ruedas
MC:Lim

Kelsian National Football Team

Montréal, KELSE (AP) - The Kelsian National Football Team, nicknamed the Mariners, are back for a third go at the prized World Cup, this time with an all new team. After a suprisingly good debut in WC27 and a rather dissapointing WC28, the new team, lead by new female coach Janelle Croft, hopes to make their mark passed the qualifying stage. After the firing of prolific national coach Rafael Centino, the hiring of the twenty-six year-old Croft has been rather controversial throughout the country. A graduate of Montréal State University, where she competed in the womens' football team, Croft does in fact have little experience coaching an international team. Centino, who know coaches the Womens' National Football Team, was quoted as saying "That b**** has no clue what shes doing, and shes going to bring disgrace to our great nation. She doesn't know what shes gotten herself into, and shes going to be the laughing-stock of the international football community." Croft responded with a calm, polite "He's just an old man living in the old world whos mad that he's position was taken by a girl. That's all, and I won't let his slandering get to me. You'll see, we'll have a heck of a team this year."

The new squad combines the best of the Kelse University A-League with a few well-known high school players. Picked out by Croft herself, this team of young competitors hope to be scouted for play in international leagues. However, the impending creation of a Kelsian League could keep the players a t home...

The Mrkvejnian National Team is currently gaining a wealth of experience in the Baptism of Fire, substitues will shortly be announced and flown in via Ajr Mrkvejnias signature 'Ayrbuus Dzuuperflij' which has recently just been adapted to accomodate propellors. Kits are currently being manufactured in various cottages around the Jzerkov and Gryk regions of Mrkvejnia however the likelyhood of all kits being the same is seemingly low since 9 out of 10 Mrkvejnians are actually colour blind and can see only in brown.
Football boots are being kindly donated and the Mrkvejnian team and management are most grateful for this donation. Official rules do state that football boots are not allowed to be made from woven grasses and weeds and must have studs and not sharp rocks incorporated into the design hence why Mrkvejnia needs the donation.

The Mrkvejnian formation is an attacking 442 formation, death to players is not permitted even though cloning technology is reaching a major breakthrough. Everything else is legal.

STARTERS IN BOLD!
Keepers:
Imre Kellar – 25 y.o. 5 Caps
Dieter Rovage – 27 y.o. 12 caps RELEASED

[Not announced as the starter until a late friendly against Liverpool England, Keller is barely tested, but much more mature than Rovage ever was.]


Defenders:
Ubrecht Werner – 29 y.o. 17 caps
Anthony Yans – 23 y.o. 5 caps
Volker Shrut -25 y.o. 17 caps
Derrick Moriso – 23 y.o. 17 caps
Yohann Velderfulshun – 37 y.o. 12 caps
Kareem Reese – 29 y.o

[Yans replaces the aging Velderfulshun in the defensive starting group, bringing his incredible stamina to the line.]

Midfielders:
Warren Feld – 24 y.o. 2 goals, 17 caps
Aaron Kingsley – 26 y.o. 4 goals, 17 caps
Welshy Davon – 22 y.o. 3 goals 17 caps
Kevin Kelsey – 20 y.o 5 caps
Jeffrey Euurs – 22 y.o.
Yuri “Old Man” Fisher – 43 y.o. 12 caps

[Here too, youth replaces experience, as Fisher is sidelined by Kelsey.]

Forwards:
Jeri Kavelt – 25 y.o. 8 goals, 17 caps
Rudolph Answoir – 27 y.o. 5 goals, 17 caps
Antonius Revell – 22 y.o.

[Back by popular demand, the high scoring Kavelt/Answoir duo are ready to make a run this year.]

The Sturmkrieger roster reads exactly the same as last year, with only two subtle changes. Can Tinsuvilia, so blindly successful last year, keep their beginners luck for another year, or will the new found target on their backs be too much?

After much deliberation and trials, Giant Zucchini coach Domingo Ferrero has finally released his squad for World Cup 29 Qualifying. Ferrero has decided on a tactical revision, as well as a major change to the line-up. Major omissions include Giant Zucchini's most capped and highest scoring player, Johann Rilke; in his place is Carel Hals, largely untested, and having no top-flite experience at all. Time will tell if the risks pay off.

Because of King John Fishhook's ban on using real player names, all players will be named Clyde Misterson in the score books.

However, on the pitch each player will have his/her real last name on their shirts. (Essentially outside of my goal scorer, who will always be Clyde Misterson, you can make up your own names)

You can do whatever you want, except that you agree to always say the Clyde Misterson scored, even if he really didn't.

Sarzonia Stars

Coach: Mark Wingate (50 years old). With the sudden resignation of Brett Hancock as the national team's head coach, Wingate was the surprise selection of Dave Wilson as the team's manager. He looks to institute a return of "Sarzonian football," and intends to return the team to its winning ways.

Assistant Coach: Brian Wilson (39 years old). The only member of the former Stars teams to remain with the team after a phenomenal shakeup, Wilson was viewed by many as the heir-apparent to his father Dave. However, he turned down the Incorporated Football Federation's offer to take over the team.

ROSTER (starters in bold)

GOALKEEPERS
1 Frank Talbot (6'3, 195 pounds), FC Praeton, Praetonia. This 27 year old secured the largest foreign player contract in the Praetonian league's history and led the league in goals against average two of the past three years. His size and reflexes made him the solid choice for the starting 11.
18 Chad Marr (6'1, 188 pounds), Daurmont SC, Isselmere-Nieland. Marr turned 34 years old this year, so this is likely his only chance at a World Cup spot. In the event Talbot struggles, Marr will likely be there to clean up the mess.
30 Travis McAndrew (5'11, 180 pounds), Bristol Braves. Spends a lot of time in the weight room and on the training pitch to improve his physique, which already forced him to get an unlisted telephone number. At 23 years old, he'll likely be fending off the advances of admirers for years to come.

DEFENDERS
2 Jerry Wagoner (5'10, 155 pounds), Tyrol Tigers. This 22 year old has great speed from the left side of the pitch. Often marks the opposing team's best forward, especially if he's a pacey sort. Doesn't do as well with more physical forwards, so he may be taken out of matches or moved to defensive midfield late.
3 Harold Donovan (6'0, 190 pounds), Wilmington Wanderers. At 24 years old, Donovan is one of the main cogs behind the youth movement instituted by Wingate upon his ascention to the coaching ranks. Donovan provides more of a physical presence than Wagoner and can play left back in a 3-5-2 formation.
4 Jose Yancy (6'4, 205 pounds), Woodstock Wild. A consummate sweeper, Yancy is improving quickly in his role as one of two central defenders in a 4-4-2. Should the team play a 3-5-2, the 28 year old Yancy will likely remain at sweeper because of his lack of speed.
5 Gene Campo (5'9, 145 pounds), Portland Timbers. Another pacey player, he's improving as a man-marker but is more famous for being an offensive-minded defender. He turned 21 years old so he has enormous upside. Wingate may consider playing him in midfield in future World Cups.
6 Jesse Leahy (5'10, 170 pounds), Nicksia Knights. He's 22 years old but as the son of a university league coach, he is known for more savvy than most players his age. His speed isn't that impressive and he's prone to make physical mistakes when trying to dribble out of danger.
14 Bobby Rauch (6'1, 175 pounds), unaffiliated. With diplomatic relations between Sarzonia and Pacitalia now non-existent, the 27 year old Rauch left a contract with Puntafora in the Pacitalian league. He's now searching for an alternative placement in a Sarzonian league.
15 Daniel Shelley (6'2, 200 pounds), New Jerusalem Nobles. Shelley is known as one of the most physical defenders in the Sarzonian Football Confederation. He led the league with seven yellow cards and three red cards. At 21 years old, he has plenty of time to learn to curb his temper.
19 Louie Rhyne (5'7, 135 pounds), Woodstock Wild. This 31 year old gets under the skin of a lot of playmaking midfielders or strikers and is one of the tightest man-markers in all of Sarzonia.

MIDFIELDERS
7 Chris Tunstall (5'8, 140 pounds), Joe Gibbs University. Just came off a championship winning season at the nation's premier university and was preparing to go to medical school when Wingate called and asked him to come to training with the national team. He turned 22 years old the last day of training camp. Plays a determined defensive midfield.
8 Richie Griego (5'11, 165 pounds), Woodstock Wild. A powerhouse on the left flank, Griego is also a tenacious defender and has enormous upside at 24 years old.
10 Brad Clausen (5'8, 150 pounds), Portland Timbers. Team captain. This 29 year old has it all: Dribbling skills, passing skills, leadership, the ability to stay focused for up to 120 minutes if needed. The only thing he doesn't do well is penalties, going four for nine.
11 Adam Purvis (6'1, 190 pounds), Izistan City F.C., Izistan. The 25 year old can score off headers or from the right flank and is often the designated corner kick man from the right side.
12 Marco Lee (5'9, 145 pounds), unaffiliated. Played in The Beltway's football league until the country fell into civil unrest, the 23 year old Lee was called up to the national team and left Thurgood Marshall International Airport before the civil authority shut down the airport. His dual citizenship gave the national team pause until they confirmed he never earned a cap for The Beltway. Known for being a solid central midfielder.
13 Brian Hall (6'3, 195 pounds), Saugerties Snakes. Hall is somewhat lanky, but he's also very physical in midfield. The 24 year old has a bit of a temper (four cautions in 22 league matches last year) and isn't the fastest player on the pitch, but he brings toughness to the team.
16 Allan Knutsen (5'10, 152 pounds), Rochester Raiders. The 20 year old Knutsen is known for being a sparkplug on the pitch when he comes in after the 60th minute. He can disrupt opposing defences with his speed and his left-footed shot, but he loses pace if he plays longer than 50 minutes.
17 Clayton Weisel (5'7, 130 pounds), S.C. Georgestown, Inkana. At 23 years old, Weisel has played a full schedule in Inkana three times, scoring a total of 28 goals in the three seasons. He earned a starting job last season with his dangerous play from the left side.

FORWARDS
20 Steve Jacobson (6'4, 205 pounds), Woodstock Wild. An excellent target player, the 29 year old Jacobsen led the SFC with 23 goals in 28 league matches last season. He's got a combination of power and deft touch, but is especially deadly with headers.
23 Larry Cornwell (5'11, 165 pounds), Rochester Raiders. With the Raiders' recent success in international club competition, Cornwell has a chance to make an even stronger impression as a withdrawn forward or attacking midfielder. He turns 24 years old just before qualifying begins.
24 Hugh Baker (6'1, 180 pounds), Portland Timbers. More of a finesse forward, Baker still managed to lead the Timbers with 19 goals despite an injury-plagued season. At 25 years old, he needs to learn how to stay healthy.
26 Lance Wachowiak (5'8, 158 pounds), Saugerties Snakes. Wachowiak perhaps should be a playmaking midfielder, but the logjams at midfield have him playing forward for both the national team and his club team. The 26 year old scored nine goals in two thirds of the season, so he does have the touch.

Vuam and Isma play a 4-5-1 (http://img233.imageshack.us/img233/6582/4517un.jpg) with -1 for style modifier.

Starting 11 are Italicised.

Goalkeepers :
* Colm O'Connor : This young goalkeeper, only 20 is considered to be the backbone of Lesk FC's successful season. His presence in goal at barely 20 has lead him to be tagged as one of Vuam and Isma's future greats. During the WC he attracted a lot of attention, and reports have it that he won't finish his career in Vuam and Isma, with a few Sarzonian clubs ready to snap him up. Last Season's Statistics (LSS) : 43 Games played, 38 Goals conceded, 9 Clean sheets, 1 Assist, and 11 Man of the Match awards. Current Team : Lesk. Date Of Birth (DOB) : 13/07
* Rikjard Stromstottir : Possiby pas his best, this 32 year-old was once considered to be the finest 'keeper in New Cyberia. However, his career was plagued with injury, and he has yet to show his talent under pressure. He knows this will be the last chance he'll have to tout the best in the world, and he'll be as ready as ever. Once again, his performances in the WC showed that he was well past his best, but that he had a lot of experience, keeping the beatings down to 1-goal margins in O'Connor's absence. LSS : 37 Games played, 41 Goals conceded, 3 Clean sheets, and 4 Man of the Match awards. Current Team : Hiron. DOB : 03/02
* Wayne Ivers : 26, and still solid, he'll probably not play much, as he's not quite as good as Rikjard or Colm. However, Wayne became a hero for Jelluit Foutor with his 4 penalty saves over 3 games to bring the V&I Club's Cup back to Costa da Akès. However, he forced his place on the bench off Stromstottir for the last 3 games of the WC, showing great tenacity and team spirit. LSS : 38 Games played, 46 Goals conceded, 6 Clean sheets, and 5 Man of the Match awards. Current Team : Jelluit Foutor. DOB : 22/03

Defenders :
* Mounir Reguagui : Mounir is considered to be the backbone of Vuam and Isma's defence, with great command and excellent tactical vision. He's been looking to leave his underperforming Dingam-Gué side, who hope to fetch a 8-figured cheque for his departure. It would seem that Mounir will be moving, but it's not quite abroad that's the target, with Dingam-Roh only too happy to add him to their back four. LSS : 32 Games played, 1 Goal, 7 Assists, 3 Yellow cards, 1 Red card, 3 Man of the Match awards. Current team : Dingam-Gué. DOB : 24/11
* Icham S'baa : 30 this year, but still as fleet of foot as when he was 21, Icham's part in Vuam and Isma's cup run promises to be very important. Capped 42 times so far for Vuam and Isma, he's still looking for his first goal, but his mazy running down the wing will torment more than one winger, that's for sure. His age showed in the WC, but he did prove that dispite his lack of stamina, his good tactical vision is often enough to keep his bemoaners at bay. LSS : 33 Games played, 0 Goal, 9 Assists, 4 Yellow cards, 0 Red card, 2 Man of the Match awards. Current team : Jelluit Foutor. DOB : 21/08
* Roman Brasiviev : Roman nearly didn't make the national side when he broke his leg 9 months ago. However, this 26 year-old wanted to be part of Vuam and Isma's first international tournament, and he ruled out anybody stealing his spot with a series of perfect matches when he came back, hoisting Agaña out of the relegation zone almost sigle-handedly. Coming back to full form for the WC, Roman stole the show, proving instumental to keeping the scores against V&I low, as he fended off Hypocrian and Sarzonian strikers with great efficiency. Tabloids see him leaving for Sarzonia next season, or even before should Agaña not be amongst the first 7 or 8. LSS : 14 Games played, 3 Goal, 4 Assists, 1 Yellow cards, 0 Red card, 5 Man of the Match awards. Current team : Agaña. DOB : 14/12
* Sett Marc : Dubbed 'The Chao Lee Prodigy', Sett's composure is astonishing for a 21 year-old. One of the most technical defenders that play in the Topplig, he'll be wanting to make his 'Marc' on this tournament. Even though Marc proved his loyalty to Vientiane as he signed on for 2 more years at the end of the WC, some say that he'll be leaving, and that his signing isn't anything more than a short delay. LSS : 26 Games played, 0 Goal, 1 Assists, 6 Yellow cards, 0 Red card, 3 Man of the Match awards. Current team : Vientiane FC. DOB : 02/08
* Eukla Chdone : A solid first-team player for Kediri, Eukla has been targeted for his short temper, and will probably be relieved that his frequent run-ins with the referees won't have barred him from the World Cup. However, he knows that he could be left on the bench, or have to watch the matches from the terraces if he doesn't keep his cool under the White and Azure shirt. Again, Eukla made more impact on the bench than on the pitch during the WC, recieving 2 yellows in his only 2 games, and spending 6 games on the bench without touching the pitch. LSS : 25 Games played, 2 Goal, 4 Assists, 12 Yellow cards, 5 Red card, 1 Man of the Match award. Current team : Rumùa. DOB : 18/01
* Victor Niederberger : A regular for Hiron, Victor will have to be as attentive as ever to get into the starting eleven. Victor was the defensive revelation of V&I's qualifying joust, as his will and all-for-all mentality gave him the edge over other players to make the starting eleven once injuries started to diminish V&I. LSS : 27 Games played, 0 Goal, 2 Assists, 4 Yellow cards, 0 Red card, 1 Man of the Match award. Current team : Alfared. DOB : 18/01
* Ray Wibowo 'Rayberto Carlos' Oey : The only niggling injury that will be flewn to the World Cup will be that of 33 year-old veteran 'Reyberto Carlos'. He's been the best left-back in the Topplig for 7 seasons running, and his talent will shine through. However, he's been having knee probelems. Let's hope he gets better fast enough to make Vuam and Isma proud of him with another one of his free-kicks! After a good BoF, Rayberto's WC was dissapointing to say the least. Although he played well, he often bemoaned his lack of freedom down the channels, as he stayed back to support Chdone and Brasiviev. Perhaps he is more effective as a sub after all! LSS : 17 Games played, 3 Goal, 5 Assists, 3 Yellow cards, 0 Red card, 2 Man of the Match awards. Current team : Alfared. DOB : 18/01


Midfielders :
* Yakit 'Yak' Yakkad : Gudjon know that Yak will perform, season in like season out. He's been at Gudjon all of 7 years since he turned pro at 17, and his performances just never let him down. Amongst other nicknames, he's called 'The conductor' and 'Destribuetor' for his cool passing play that brings the Madjedskay Park faithful to their feet. But if you think of the WC, then Yak's performances are down to one word : fabulous. Almost shutting out Sarzonia alone, he proved he was truly one of the best, sending tens of clubs after him, even though he maintains that he will only leave Gudjon if Gudjon want him to leave. LSS : 31 Games played, 5 Goal, 13 Assists, 1 Yellow card, 0 Red card, 4 Man of the Match awards. Current team : Gudjon. DOB : 30/04
* Harrp Dinamyque : Harrp is one of the few players to have not played for one or two outfits in the Topplig, but 5. When he started out, playing for Dingam-Roh, he was thought to never be able to break into the starting eleven, and was sold to sworn rivals Dingam-Gué for a measly 50,000 Ghis. However, he revealed himself to be an illuminating midfielder in the Black and Yellow hoops, and has since played for Lesk, Alfared and Hiron before coming back to Dingam-Gué, where he's considered to be the midfeld dynamo that creates single-handedly all of Dingam-Gué's offensive play. Dynamique's WC was good enough to attract Hypocrian and Krytenian clubs' eyes on him, even though it seems to be the Portland Timbers that hold the cutting edge. LSS : 23 Games played, 6 Goal, 12 Assists, 3 Yellow cards, 0 Red card, 4 Man of the Match awards. Current team : Dingam-Gué. DOB : 12/10
* Stefan Grak : Only 22, and already part of Lesk's unstoppable attack force, this dazzling winger will surely be one of Scarab's keys to unlock opposing defences. Another player who took a new dimension over the WC, Grak seems to play better if his opponents are harder, putting in grand matches against Hypocria and Krytenia, only to seem invisible against Rorysville and Revived Constantinople. LSS : 35 Games played, 8 Goal, 4 Assists, 3 Yellow cards, 0 Red card, 3 Man of the Match awards. Current team : Lesk. DOB : 09/08
* Exclamatio Lidon : Few can argue that seeing Lidon's dummies has been the best part of the season for Manang Marsiandi fans. A rather dissapointing mid-table finish for 'Il Plasicaos' will leave them bemoaning their lack of firepower up front, and the 26 year-old's relative lack of offensive support. Lidon played well during the WC, putting his place amongst the starting eleven beyond doubt. However, many say that he lacks consistancy, as his rather "all or nothing" performances against Hypocria, Sarzonia and Krytenia showed. LSS : 27 Games played, 4 Goal, 8 Assists, 2 Yellow cards, 0 Red card, 5 Man of the Match awards. Current team : Manang Marsiandi. DOB : 21/10
* Stuart O'Driscoll : Since he left the Topplig last season to play for Ternäo Suporta, Alfared fans have been booing ever move made by Ruan Edo, and many think that it was O'Driscoll's absence that was the difference between a glory-crowned season and a sour 4th place in the Topplig, as well as two cup semi-final exits. O'Driscoll's versatility in midfield made him a very unpredictable player, but often leaves the Ternäo faithful in dread of a counter-attack when he ventures far out on the wing. a good solid WC showed his great crossing abilities, as well as his good feeling for play with Fitzsimons and O'Beirne, the main strikers in V&I. LSS : 29 Games played, 9 Goals, 3 Assists, 4 Yellow cards, 0 Red cards, 6 Man of the Match awards. Current team : Ternäo. DOB : 01/05
* Peter Searle : Sita's only selected player, Searle will proabably be looking to attract attention of some of the big clubs that might have missed his good performances, in a last-dich effort to avoid Eredivie football with relegated Sita. Even though he only played one match in the WC, totalling 35 minutes playing time, Searle's performance was good enougjh to attract Topplig teams' eyes on him, and Kediri seem to have a deal almost completed with both the player and Sita. LSS : 24 Games played, 4 Goals, 7 Assists, 0 Yellow cards, 0 Red cards, 2 Man of the Match awards. Current team : Sita. DOB : 21/12
* Jorgé Clay : Possibly one of the most surprising choices by Scarab was to select Clay. Despite being voted best player in the Eredivie and captaining a red-hot Chuna side to Eredivie success, Clay is still untested at international level, and many predict that the 23 year-old won't be able to withstand the pressure of first-team football at such a high level. But all those fears should be abandoned after the WC performances he put in, proving to be more active and involved than some of the "regulars". However, he won't be worrying O'Driscoll or Grak for a few seasons as his mistakes often proved more dangerous than his actions. LSS : 37 Games played, 9 Goals, 12 Assists, 2 Yellow cards, 0 Red cards, 14 Man of the Match awards. Current team : Chuna. DOB : 23/06


Attackers :
* Stephen Fitzsimons : Lesk have kept 23 year-old Fitzsimmons away from contract talks with Arvestorm, Liverpool City and Harchester Town by promising him continental success next season. But Lesk know that it'll be very hard to keep this expolosive striker in the topplig, as he has simply become one of the best strikers in New Cyberia. Capped for the first time when he was 18, Fitzsimmons was able to make an instant impact on the Vuam and Isma National Side with the only goal of the game against a dull and uninspired Arghans side. As Fitzsimmons often answers reporters : 'I let my feet do the talking'... and we hope he'll have quite a lot to say during the following matches! A good WC has seen him announce that he has signed a contract with an unnamed club in Sarzonia, for an undisclosed fee, and that the transfer will occur at the end of the Topplig season. LSS : 41 Games played, 29 Goals, 8 Assists, 0 Yellow cards, 0 Red cards, 13 Man of the Match awards. Current team : Lesk. DOB : 07/10
* Robert O'Beirne : Dingam-Roh's main man, Robert O'Beirne knows that at 29 he's one of the 'ancients' in the squad, and we're sure that he'll do all he can to show us that he'll not be pushed aside by the next generation without a fight. An impressive playmaker who's not scared to come deep to fetch the ball, he knows that his main power is his head, as he shows season after season that he can make good use of his 194 cm. Dispite being snubbed because of Fitzsimons' outstanding form during the WC, O'Beirne has proved that should Fitzsimons be unable to unlock opponing defences, then he might hold the key. LSS : 28 Games played, 16 Goals, 5 Assists, 2 Yellow cards, 0 Red cards, 5 Man of the Match awards. Current team : Dingam-Roh. DOB : 23/01
* Sifiso Masilela : He claims he's the fastest player to ever wear the White and Azure, and who could blame him! Even though he's often criticised for his lack of constancy, if Sifiso can pull of a series of good matches, then most opposing defenders won't see more of him than a mere blur, followed by the ball in hte back of their net. He added a goal to his tally in the WC, even though some say it should have been four or five as he squandered simple chances. LSS : 34 Games played, 17 Goals, 1 Assists, 4 Yellow cards, 0 Red cards, 5 Man of the Match awards. Current team : Alfared. DOB : 23/01
* Fahd Ghauri : A constant striker, Ghauri was forced to battle hard for a regular first-team place in the Lesk satring line-up. However, being able to play any position in midfield and attack, he became the Lesk 'Super Sub', netting 8 goals in the last 5 minutes of play. As he netted 2 goals in the WC, both from the bench, Fahd's future seems to lie on the bench. However, should there be a need for an extra midfielder or striker, he showed that his flair was enough to merit first-team play. LSS : 21 Games played, 15 Goals, 5 Assists, 6 Yellow cards, 0 Red cards, 3 Man of the Match awards. Current team : Lesk. DOB : 31/03
* Mike Sharwood : Exiled for the last 3 seasons in Fenzaristan, Sharwood recently made his bid for international football clear when he lead Supaspor-K to a league and cup double, as well as a honourable second-round defeat in the North Rohan regional cup against eventual champions Fissio Rkho. Still awaiting his first goal for V&I, Sharwood did make a good deal of interesting play in the 2 games he played in, offering a more tactical option to Scarab and Fischmann. LSS : 43 Games played, 24 Goals, 6 Assists, 8 Yellow cards, 0 Red cards, 13 Man of the Match awards. Current team : Supaspor-K. DOB : 14/11

Vuam and Isma have "Whites and Azures" as a nickname.

Key players are Fitzsimons, O'Connor and Yak.

Vuam and Isma have two coaches/managers :

Johann Fischmann : Head coach, has a long history in football management, but seems to be more used to coping with small squads and bringing them to the top level. Has a quite low success rate when in the final rounds though.

Scarab : One of the pioneers of football in Vuam and Isma, he became one of the most sucessful players of his time, winning 5 league titles, 3 cups and always being in one of the finalist teams of the Championna. As a manager, he's a high-profile loud-mouthed person, but who still has a lot to prove, dispite 2 championna successes. These successes are put in perspective by the fact that his managerial career saw him take the team he had just crowned champions into a relegation battle the following season.

Sports: Capitalizt SLANI announces squad, kits for World Cup 29
PRONTERA, CHORION—Today, Capitalizt SLANI announced its controversial decisions for the squad that will represent the Unified Capitalizt States in World Cup 29. Despite Port Lusambo’s 6–2 win over Sonoma Center in a friendly at the Sokojito Überdome at the end of last season, the company decided to hire the coach of the Panthers as head coach and the Paladins coach as his assistant. Critics of Capitalizt SLANI have attributed the decision to the fact that Port Lusambo is not in the SLANI League, but the company has defended its decision, stating that they believe Randall Thacker is the better coach. Another move attributed to the rivalry between the two leagues was the selection of eighteen Capitalizt SLANI League players and only eight 자본가는 스포츠 연맹을 리그 (Jabonganīn Sīpoçī ʼYūnmāŋʼīl Ligī) players for the team. In any case, the decisions have already been made, so here’s the roster and the ugly kits that the listed players will be forced to wear:

Away Kit
http://www.thirdgeek.com/ns/worldcup/kits/COM/29/away/

(OOC: Style modifier is +φ (id est, (√5 + 1) / 2), as low scoring in the Capitalizt SLANI League has unfortunately begun the process of Karelanizing the Unified Capitalizt States.)

Coach: Jean-Réne Filon, ex-New Montreal States. Ended up in hell after murdering four of his players and committing suicide rather than facing justice at the hands of the States.

Keeper: Cerebrus - the transition from gatekeeper of Hell to goalkeeper of Hell seemed to be a simple enough one to make.

Backs: Arius - described even by his Orthodox peers as a man of "splendid physical presence," this denier of the divine nature of Jesus Christ who led many of the flock astray down the same path will be relied upon to provide the same physical presence in the back he has since WC25.

Sergius I - promoter of monothelitism will be forced to defend more than an erroneous position as the one new member of the roster.

Constantine V - this die-hard defender of iconoclasm will serve as a captain of the team and co-ordinator of the defense.

Michael II - a second die-hard Iconoclast who relies on speed and finesse to ward off attacking forwards. Will struggle to contend with more physical midfielders, however.

Nestorius - Patriarch of Constantinople who argued erroniously that Christ had two separate persons - the human and the divine. He will be relied upon to handle the left end of the backfield.

Midfielders: Eutyches - Radical monophysite bishop whose immortal soul, like his heretical doctrine, can cover large amounts of area in very short periods.

Sabellius - Third century priest who argued that the Trinity was one, undivided being instead of the three distinct personae. Being the center of a three-man midfield is a form of divine justice.

Marcion of Sinope - created a parallel church organization that threated the very existence of the Church during the second century A.D.

Striker: Simon Magus - father of wizards, this dark mage will be needed to perform his usual tricks in the front to spark the offense.

(OOC: Formation will be a -2, as Karelian football is the spawn of Hell, as we all know. These guys are pretty much injury-proof, since they don't have bodies in the same sense average humans do. Any yellow card would entail that player being replaced by Satan himself.)

General Manager - Konstantin Eshtrekov (52)
An experienced coach in the domestic league who was appointed by the FFK to advise the new national head coach on Krajkovian football. He stays with the squad as general manager and handles much of the media work.

Head Coach - Daniel Gurchev (48) (Tadjikistan)
One of the best goalkeepers of his generation, starring for both Vaksh Qorgontheppa and the Tadjik national team. Gurchev represented the Tigers at four World Cup finals, finally retiring at the age of 40, and was their assistant coach at the last tournament. Appointed as Krajkovia’s first national coach eight months ago. An excellent motivator.

Assistant Coaches - Alexandr Pareiko (41) & Vasily Semakin (38)

Team Doctor - Doctor Yuri Zolin (55)


Starting Eleven


1. Vitaly Andreev (24, GK) - Spartak Tzaragrad
Andreev is arguably the safest pair of hands in the premier league so it is no surprise that he wears the number 1 shirt. But he, like the other keepers in the squad, has looked nervous during the preparations. Possibly something to do with having a former keeper of Gurchev’s quality as their new coach.


2. Maxim Datsenko (25, D/DMR) - Dinamo Bezigrad
A marauding right wingback from the troublesome region of Berezina. Some believe that the inclusion of a number of Berezeans in the squad is more a political gesture than a sporting one but Datsenko is in purely on merit.

3. Leonid Milevskiy (28, D/DML) - Spartak Tzaragrad
Left sided defender who lends a nice balance to the side. His left foot is a potent weapon in the Bears’ arsenal and he takes all the set pieces from that side.

4. Ivan Bulyga (23, DC) - FC Kairat
A big strong defender from Norska. Some would describe Bulyga as uncompromising, others might say vicious. He had the worst disciplinary record in the league last season but his defensive qualities meant he could not be left out.

5. Dimitry Kolodin (30, DRC) - Dinamo Tzaragrad
An experienced campaigner and an excellent organiser of the defence. No one in the squad can time a challenge quite like Kolodin. Recently left Spartak Tzaragrad for city rivals Dinamo.

6. Vladislav Perov (26, DLC) - Traktor Burukan
Gurchev prefers Perov on the left of his three centrebacks as Perov is naturally left sided. But the defender has his critics.


7. Andrey Tursunov (25, DMC) - Iskra Zaranya
A classic midfielder enforcer who rarely crosses the halfway line. Tursunov has no skill to speak of but his pretty damn good at what he does.

8. Sergei Petrenko (32, AMC) - Zenith Tzaragrad
Ask any fan to name the best Krajkovian player of recent years at you’re almost guaranteed they’ll say Petrenko. He may be the wrong side of 30 and lacking the pace of his youth but the playmaker is still capable of unlocking any defence with his range of passing. He takes a mean freekick too.

11. Vadim Baltiev (22, DMC) - Shakhtar Zaranya
A young and talented midfielder player. Like Tursunov he will sit back to allow Petrenko and the wingbacks to drive forward at will.


9. Alexei Arvashin (18, SC) - Spartak Tzaragrad
Arvashin burst onto the scene at the back end of last season with 8 goals in the final 10 games. He’s followed that up with 24 this season which won him the golden boot. With that record Arvashin is a first choice striker despite his tender years.

10. Ruslan Bairamov (27, SC) - Dinamo Viraspol
An experienced striker who doesn’t have the best scoring record in the squad. But Gurchev values the strength in the air Bairamov offers and sees him as the best foil for Arvashin.

15. Oleg Kornilenko (21, SC) - Shakhtar Zaranya

My opponent if they RP first can do the follow . . .
Almost anything you like. Just no crippling injuries. Oh, and no killing m'kay.

Kaze Progressa play a normal 0 style.

RPing: do what you like so long as it's realistic. Teenage mutant ninja tomatoes are not realistic. Picking up a career-threatening injury after 65 seconds without even being tackled is realistic...

It should be interesting to note that these players are the sons (or even grandsons) of the players that played for ORD in the NSWC between WC20 and WC24. Let the tradition continue!

WELCOME TO WORLD CUP XXIX, HOSTED BY KRYTENIA AND CASARI.

Squads, rosters, call them what you will. Place your chosen men/women/dwarves/miscellaneous here.

Playing style modifiers, with a range from -2 to +2, will be used for this tournament. A +2 formation is a more attacking style, while a -2 is more defensive. The default style is a balanced 0. Any higher or lower numbers will be set to +2 or -2, as our scorinator can't handle any numbers outside that range.

When posting a roster, you should tell other nations what they have permission to do to your players, should the other nation post their RP first. A sample list is provided below. If a list isn't posted, it is assumed that all answers to the questions are "yes."

Qutar Sports News Network

Today a press conference was called by the QFA about the team being sent to World Cup Qualifyers, but what most people were looking forward to was finding out who'd be managing the Qutari team. The QFA have been notoriously tight lipped about the whole affair, out of the main candidates no-one can seem to decide a winner, and with contridictory stories as to who it is we'll only find out for sure today. Well the President of the QFA; Alonso Valvona along with the Minister for Sport; George Hall are coming out now, so we'll take you live to the conference;

Alonso Valvona: Hello and thank you all for coming hear today, I'm sure you're anxious to hear the news so I'll get straight to the point. We at the QFA have decided to appoint Philip Davies as The Islands of Qutar's manager for the period of qualification. His club Fareham have been happy to part with their manager, even though he has given them so much success over the past decade. I'll hand you over to him now, as he tells you his squad he's going to take with him through the qualifyers

Philip Davies: Thanks Alonso, its a great honor to be asked to manage your country and I can only hope that I can bring a smile to people faces everywhere in Qutar, and not dissappoint. My target for the team is qualification of course, but past that I would like to lead Qutar into the next stages of the World Cup. I believe that we have the talent and expierience to achive this goal. Here is my ideal First XI team for the qualifying matches, we'll be playing the 4-4-2 formation that has worked for us so well recently
