The Eighth Subcommittee has made its final choices, based on BoF squads, of the World Cup 23-man squad. They have ordered this document FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

THE SCHORTESKATASCANSOLANIAN SQUAD

First, a description of competive association football in Schorteskatascansolani. Below are the teams, in the order of last season's standings:

Superakta-AutomotivSchortisach Intersolanian Extralig (Schortenliga)
Eagles of Valour
Zizkaberg
EMF Prokupek
Cristia United
Queen's Own FK
FK Mlada Boleslav
Tongatupou FK
Trinity Chapel FK

Eagles of Valour (BurghittEaglon FutbalKlup) is the #1 team in the country, and renowned for their policies of fair play. Last season, the Eagles as a whole collected only four yellow cards and no reds. They have a fantastic midfield that is more than capable of penetrating their top rival Zizkaberg's stolid defense and blocking its killing strikers. They also boast an excellent goalkeeper, Bower, who, though an injury set him out most of last season, is considered the best in the country.

Zizkaberg (FutbalKlup Viktoria Zizkaberg, or FKVZ) are the hated rivals of the Eagles of Valour; they are both located in the capital city, Schortislaniscandersburg. In contrast to the Eagles, they are renowned for their brutal play, going to the limit and seeing if the referee will let them get away with it. They have a highly skilled squad, capable of exhausting the other team and still running all over the place with the ball. In past times the Eagles were able to deal with them with calm and repose but it has become increasingly difficult for them to contain this vibrant and extremely young squad.

ElektriMotif Futbalklup (EMF) Prokupek has some considerable talent but invariably loses to the top two teams. Their players seem prone to injury, giving Prokupek fans a continuously running "Lost Cause" story to tell Eagles fans that "if only!" the Prokupek would surely have won the title. They have a skilled contingent of forwards who are excellent headers, but in general the goalkeepers for the other teams are able to get their balls under fingers.

Cristia United (sometimes called Cristia United FutbalKlup) has a skilled midfield that works beautifully together but runs into troubles when faced with serious defense. They also have a player considered to be the best defender in the entire league, who has had several lucrative offers from higher clubs but has stated his love for the team he plays for and has no intent to transfer; it is due to his skill primarily that they are so high placed in the league, as their forwards and goalkeepers leave much to be desired.

The Queen's Own FutbalKlup is unique among the league; the Queen (or King, whenever one of them is reigning; then the name changes) pays a pension to the older players who have nowhere to go once higher clubs sack them, and they get together and play together in competive matches against the league. It is easily the most experienced squad in the league -- almost all the players are older than 30 -- but age shows with a lack of stamina, and younger squads like the Zizkaberg run them into the ground.

FK Mlada Boleslav is the only club that has no players in the national squad; the selectors (paid, runs the conspiracy theory, by ratinghawks from SchorticiaTeleray) like to have "diversity" in the squad and take players from all over the league (though, many claim, you could build the best squad just by taking players from Eagles of Valour and Zizkaberg). FKMB plays solidly but unspectacularly.

Tongatupou FutbalKlup is a relatively new squad but has some talent. Two players from there come to the SchorticNatizonialiskadva.

Trinity Chapel FutbalKlup are the dogs of the league, hardly winning any games; they are located in the second largest city, Split. They thus have the greatest following of any club, as the capital's loyalty is divided between the top two clubs. They are owned in part by SchorticiaTeleray, whose broadcasts make all Splitklaks think that TCFK games are the most important thing in the world, even though they always lose. When TCFK once made a freak draw with Zizkaberg, the mayor of Split declared that day to be a permanant annual commemorative holiday.

The National Squad

GK

01 Bower

Daniel Bower is the best goalkeeper in the Schortenliga, playing for Eagles of Valour (though in recent years Zizkaberg's Duke has been trying to challenge that.) He has excellent reflexes and a real leading personality. In the famous MagnusKonsterbilt Skatascup (Schorticup) three years ago, the Zizkaberg played five strikers (4-2-4 formation with one in midfield) in an all-out bid for spectacular offense; Bower kept a clean sheet. It is unknown how he will perform against the whole new world of international football, but Schorteskatascansolanians have high hopes. He is 28 years old.

09 Duke

Duncan Duke is the primary goalkeeper for FutbalKlup Viktoria Zizkaberg. He possesses a fearsome presence in the goal; at six foot six, he makes attackers' legs tremble. In any other country, he would have been sent to the basketball team. But this was Schortlandt, and he became a goalkeeper. He is a tireless trainer and last season trailed Bower in goals allowed by only three points. He is only 21 years old, and already considered by some people (mostly Zizkaberg fans) to be the equal of Bower; most think that he will grow still better with age. He hopes to be able to play some games for the squad while in the Cup and show on the World's Greatest Stage just who is the greatest goalkeeper in Schorteskatascansolani.

23 Brandao
Marcelo Brandao plays for the Queen's Own FotbalKlup. He was once primary goalkeeper for the Zizkaberg, then unceremoniously dumped at age 32 when a Duncan Duke half his age was moved up from the youth team. Now 36, he is still considered to be a top class goalkeeper. His age prevents him from the furious activity he had when younger, but he is highly experienced and sharp as a tack. He is considered to be the best penalty saver in the whole Schortenliga, based on his performance once in the Schorticup where QOFK miraculously held the Zizkaberg to a draw and the game went to penalties. Brandao saved six penalties straight while the QOFK penalty takers fitfully found the back of the net on the other side of the field. He has excellent reflexes, only somewhat dulled with age; an uncanny ability to tell what the attacker is going to do next; a powerful jump that makes him supreme ruler of the air; and an unparalleled record at one on ones.

D

02 Nioplias

Evstathios Nioplias (age 29) is considered the best defender in the entire Schortenliga, and a founding member of Cristia United. Any goalkeeper will feel secure with this legendary defender in front of him. More has been written in the description of Cristia United above.

03 Alexander

Marcus Alexander plays for Eagles of Valour and is 28 years old. He is quite solid and was named the Eagles's MVP last season.

04 Vishnevskij

Valerij Vishnevskij is 27 years old. He exhibits remarkable speed and power in his defending for Zizkaberg, and has some experience playing in midfield where he can be put in a pinch. Like many Zizkaberg players, he demands a high salary and does very convincing dives. When he gets near the goal he has a feared power shot; he is usually Zizkaberg's designated penalty taker.

05 Verbir

Ondrich Verbir is a skilled 24-year-old who plays for EMF Prokupek. He is as cool as ice on the field; nothing can faze him. He takes penalty kicks with perfect regularity and rarely misses. He was named Prokupek's MVP last season.

06 Elmes

Rory Elmes played for the Eagles of Valour for several seasons before he was transferred to the Queen's Own FK. He is 29 years old and a renowned free-kick taker; however, he shows a regrettable tendency toward being injured. (Many have thought that Zizkaberg's Bernard or Hayward would have been a better choice for the squad.)

07 Torpey

Nathan Torpey is a brilliant 21-year-old defender for the Zizkaberg. At even this young age he is considered one of the best defenders the Schortenliga has ever seen. He is widely considered to have an excellent future ahead, if only he can restrain his rough nature. He led the league in yellow cards last season.

08 Tullie

Alfie Tullie is the mercurial captain of Tongatupou FK. Some games he is solid; other games, spectacularly brilliant; others, lackluster and slow. After starting extremely well last season, his performance went into a muddle, and the club slipped to seventh place from second. He is included in the squad in hopes that he will show some brilliant stuff; however, he is currently injured and he may not be recovered in time for the cup. He is 29 years old.

MF

10 Giddins

Jalen Giddins is the 29-year-old captain of the Eagles of Valour. He is esteemed throughout the league as the dynamic, charismatic leader of the Eagles' feared midfield in their 3-5-2 formation. He is excellently suited to captaincy (unlike all of Zizkaberg's players, save Cornfeld), and eminently a gentleman on the field. In his whole career he has received two yellow cards, both in the same game: he received a booking for a tackle from behind, then another one minute later for arguing with the referee -- he kept insisting he be sent off for the offense. He plays beautifully, almost acrobatically, and will be a man for the world to watch when Schorteskatascansolani appears on the World's Greatest Stage.

11 Platt

Edward Platt is a brilliant counterpart to Giddins in the Eagles's midfield. He is highly intelligent, always knowing what to do; he has a ferocious power-kick that makes him a wonder from long distances. He is always called upon to do free-kicks and often converts goals from the most unlikely of positions. Together with Giddins, Brightwell, Caldwell, and Raabe, with Hancook in reserve, he makes the BEFK midfield the renowned force it is in SchorticcikanFutbals. On top of all that, he is only 21 years old.

12 Elliot

Billy-Bob Elliot is 26 years old and plays for the Zizkaberg. He is distinguished by his powerful headers. He is 6 foot 4 and the second tallest player on the squad after Duke.

13 Stott

Phil Stott is Elliot's teammate on the Zizkaberg, 23 years old. Whereas Eagles of Valour players use grace, finesse, and skill to make the ball do what they want, Zizkaberg players tend to use brute force. Stott is the quintessential example of that: he is a mean-spirited player who is good enough to sometimes get away with it; he and Elliot barge through midfield, assisted by Steen and sometimes Malcolm or Blackburn, and sometimes pick up bookings on the way. It will be quite interesting to see him paired with Giddins - two players in such contrast. Stott is also an excellent header and rather greedy for money.

19 Kapetanopoulos

Otto Kapetanopoulos is Nioplias's teammate on Cristia United and helps that team to have their reputation for a strong midfield, along with Prittas and Pasios. At 26 years old, he is the youngest of their midfielders, but also the strongest and nearly the most skillful. He is a dynamo on the field, keeping going when everyone else is tired. He has a cool demeanour which does not get ruffled easily (unlike Zakopal, of whom we shall now hear.)

20 Zakopal

Oldrich Zakopal is a stalwart of the EMF Prokupek midfield (with Kubik and Fousek) and is 23 years old. He is notorious for his dominantly powerful shot which once broke the finger of a goalkeeper stupid enough to be playing without gloves. He is also notorious for his fiery temper on the pitch. If something upsets him or strikes him as unfair he will be sure to let the captain, the players, the referee, and the whole stadium know about it. This has resulted in a few unnecessary yellow cards for him.

21 Cameron

Kenneth Cameron is 31 years old and plays for Tongatupou FK. He is an extremely smart person, and has a degree in Nuclear Engineering from SkataschortikUnibor/Verdensity. Since he was so good at Futbal, however, he decided to play a while to ensure an easy retirement. He plans to retire from the sport at age 35 and go into Nuclear Engineering for fun and pleasure.

22 Pazura

Patryk Pazura is a 25-year-old midfielder for Trinity Chapel FK (sometimes called Poliscotia). He is a hard-working and respectable player but suffers from the common afflictions of most TCFK players in that he rarely wins. His choice was somewhat controversial, with many fans thinking BEFK players Brightwell or Caldwell, or FKVZ players Blackburn or Steen, should have been chosen in his place. With him playing, however, with him playing, all TCFK fans will be sure to be watching World Cup games.

F

14 Priest

Homer Priest is a 30-year-old striker from Zizkaberg. He is well skilled but is rather fragile and prone to injuries. He and Lee Bush make a famous combination heading the Zizkaberg's 4-4-2, whenever he is in good health.

15 Bush

Lee Bush is the "child prodigy of strikerdom" (SchortigaoryNowssmaediaray). He is 21 years old and already proclaimed the best striker in the country. He has incredible speed and has led the league in goals scored since he signed on with the Zizkaberg three years ago. Unfortunately, his performance is somewhat erratic - when he is good, he blows the field away; when he is bad, he gets nothing done, consistently missing shots.

16 MacNaughton

Connor MacNaughton is the most controversial pick for the World Cup squad. The 32-year-old Trinity Chapel striker has undeniable skill but posesses a very bad attitude, is unbearable arrogant, has a way of getting injured at every hard tackle, and, when he doesn't get his way, sulks and is no good in the game. Most people would much rather see Eagles' Hadley, Zizkaberg's Cornfeld, or even Poliscotian teammate Sean Ferguson, who, though less skilled, is very likable and fun to watch on the pitch; but the Eighteenth Subcommitte to the Third Subcommission of Public Amusement and Disportation, In Charge of Matters Relating to the World Cup (ESTSPAD ICMRWC) has made their decision, which stands.

17 Gilmore

Darius Gilmore is only one year older than Lee Bush, and nearly as good. The 22-year-old forward for Eagles of Valour, though prone to bad moods when he runs out of breakfast cereal before a big game, has proved his worth again and again when the Eagles are tested at the pitch. When the Eagles move from their favoured 3-5-2 to a defensive 4-5-1 (usually against the Zizkaberg), Gilmore is often put up front.

18 Vyborny

It was a tough decision for the ESTSPAD ICMRWC whether to use Radek Vyborny or Marcel Kopacka from EMF Prokupek in the SchorticNatizonialiskadva. Vyborny was injured for most of last season and is somewhat out of form, whereas Kopacka was energetic and famous for the bullet headers he put past many goalkeepers. But in the end the Eighteenth Subcommittee chose Vyborny, because they knew the 28-year-old forward would lend a measure of skill and experience to the squad that Kopacka could not.

(Note. Some fans have asked: "But what of Sturegård and Devold, surely two of the most experienced players in the country?" Sturegård and Devold are not citizens of Schorteskatascansolani and are thus ineligible for the national Squad.)

MANAGER WENZEL JAHN STRICHIDONIJA

Wenzel Jahn Strichidonija is the man selected by the Eighteenth Subcommittee to manage the National Squad. He is seventy-two years old. Neither the manager of Eagles of Valour nor the manager of Zizkaberg were chosen due to fears that they would work poorly with members of the teams of their arch-rivals. Rather, Master Wenzel (as we shall call him) is the manager of the Queen's Own FutbalKlup, and brings thirty-seven years of managing experience and two years on the Council of Ancients to -- it is the hope of all loyal Schorteskatascansolanians! -- lead the Schor (as they are called) to many valiant losses in their inaugural World Cup.

BYOSKOPIJA-GROSTADION

As the ESTSPAD ICMRWC did not want to show favouritism to any team, they have authorized and constructed a stadium and training ground for the use of the National Squad. The government, frugal as always, outsourced construction to the conglomerate MagnusKonsterbilt, who took in bids for the name, saying the more money given, the larger and more magnificent the building would be. The bidding was won by biotechnology company InterzmitziByoSkopija-2, who put up 1.793 billion VoenSchueh. This won a very large and magnificent stadium, which can seat fully 87,200 (including those being seated by hanging upside-down from the siding-wings). The stadium was modelled to look like a Klein bottle, and the outside walls were plated with silver for maximum effect. The name given was the ByoSkopija-Grostadion.

THE TWELFTH MAN

Schorteskatascansolanian fans tend to be rather reserved when watching. Nobody ever paints their faces, and by national law, fans are limited to two beers during the period of the game. (Also worthy of note are the nation's Christian-Sabbath laws, which enforce that all games scheduled for Sundays be switched to Saturday evening or Monday morning.) Currently, the KlupFutbal system is much more popular in Schorteskatascansolani than the national squad. Thus at these "all-star" games, fans are much more interested in yelling out the name of their favourite player and telling him to get a move on with his lazy feet or to congratulate him for an excellent play, or to berate the players of the team they hate most for spoiling the national team's chances, than to cheer on their country as a whole. It has come to the attention of fans that most other people shout "GOOOOOOOOOAAAAAAALLLLL!!!!!!!" when a goal has been scored, so the ESTSPAD ICMRWC has devised something for Schortland fans to shout - both the word for "score" and the name of their country: "SCHORRRRRRRR!!!!!!"

GREGOR SPIDKULA

Much to the disgust of Zizkaberg fans, Gregor Spidkula has been chosen as the primary referee for Schorteskatascansolanian games in the World Cup. He will referee all of their home games during qualifying and then travel to the host country to offer his services for the final, not refereeing any Schortic games should they be there. In Schorteskatascansolani, there are two main parties of referees. The first favour Eagles of Valour, who believe that Futbal is eminently a gentleman's sport and greatly frown on mean play of any sort. This group isvery susceptible to dives. The second favour the Zizkaberg, and believe that anything should be allowed and hardly ever give out cards or penalties. Spidkula is the main leader of the former camp, and is very strict on the pitch. Twenty-one years of refereeing experience make him a little less susceptible to a diving player, but he is still deceivable by a particularly good diver, like Vishnevskij. Often, decisive matches between the Eagles and the Zizkaberg depend on which man is refereeing their match. Once, Spidkula sent off four Zizkaberg players in a single match. (The Zizkaberg won anyway, due to a highly controversial penalty call.)

Schorteskatascansolanians believe that it is the height of impropriety for a match official to take national bias into consideration, and thus believe it perfectly fine for Spidkula to be refereeing all home matches. The ESTSPAD ICMRWC has said, "The government is already paying enough money for player salaries and airplane flights to every sort of place. We don't need to pay a foreigner to wave around little bits of yellow plastic that a native could wave around just as easily, and much more cheaply."

GUILLAUME KASIMIR PBUFANDA

Master Guillaume is the man whom all of you will become the most familiar with this cup. He is the Designated Oberfunkmeister For Schortic Football Games. (Typically this would be abbreviated with DOFSFG, but we shall call him The Oberfunkmeister.) He has had four years of experience in radio broadcasting since his graduation at age 21 from the RhetakademiSchorta, mainly covering Schortenliga games. This will be his first time broadcasting for Schorticia-Teleray.

Such is all we need to know to get Schorteskatascansolani going in the World Cup, save the requisite q/a:

Style Modifier: -1
Choose my goalscorers Y
Godmod Scoring Events Y - Nothing egregious
RP injuries to my players Y
Godmod injuries to my players Y - Nothing egregious
Hand out Yellow cards to my players Y
Hand out Red cards to my players Y - Please be reasonable when handing out cards. Don't hand them out indiscriminately to just everybody. Duke, for example will be much more likely to get a card than Bower; Vishnevskij might get one for diving, Stott for stamping, but Giddins should not get any cards throughout the whole tournament. Don't just declare a card. RP where it happened and why it happened.
Godmod Other Events Y - nothing egregious, and it must be funny.

Also, we must know our squads. I will post my lineup before every match if I can. However, my basic setup will be a slightly defensive 4-4-2 or a 4-5-1:

Bower (or Duke) in goal

Nioplias, Torpey, Vishnevskij, and Alexander in defense (substitutions as needed)

Giddins as captain, Platt, Elliot, Stott, (and Kapetanopoulos) in midfield

Bush (and Priest or Gilmore) as strikers.

Kits will be blue shirts and white shorts at home, and black shirts and black shorts away.

Manager

Michael Revtron
Age: 17,253
Fortendale's handpicked replacement, he has been studying for years under Florintine's hand. Was intially more defensive minded than his mentor, but that has not proved any harm to the team, as their defense continues to improve. Since though, he has found that the ability to play a high powered offence helps out the defence. With this his third Cup, the ESC is expecting qualification or else he will be replaced, likely by his assistant. With that in mind, he has been drilling the squad hard the previous six months, detirimined they be in shape mentally and physically for the trials ahead.

Assistant Manager

Dwier Titenburg
Age: 1290
After a great career in both domestic and international play, the ESC decided to approach the elf for the job of assistant manager. After weighing his options, he gladly accepted in helping improve his countries favorite sport.
With the rumors that he is to replace Revtron if the squad fails to qualify, he and his families quiet lifestyle has been interupted by the media. The drain can sometimes be seen on his face, but the players swear he is doing the same great work in preparing game plans.

Goalie

0 Martin St. Louis, Raynor City Rockers
Age: 1318
Sex - M
St. Louis is quite strange. He is not tall like most keeps, and he likes to roam around the box far more than average goalies. However for all is reckless and unorthodox play, he is clutch when it comes down to pressure situations.

Defenders

23 Clint Centron, Baysleef Bombers
Age - 1200
Sex - M
Has proved that he deserves this spot, despite his occasionaly misplay. His recovery speed enables the cocky elf to make up for his mistakes, and stone opposing strikers when they think they are free on net.

18 Liliam Kries, Rinaldi Gunners
Age - 1257
Sex - F
A solid force in the back, who uses her great footwork and patience to frustrate strikers all throughout the match. Was the first woman to win defender of the year, and looks to continue on her excelent play in the international scene from tournaments past.

43 Gabriel Florez, Char Sara Inferno
Age - 1128
Sex - F
Has worked her way from the very bottom, being a walk on player at Hondo, to the Premiership and national team. She has the can do attitude that was enabled last tournament contention and her expierence of climbing the ranks has toughened her into a well respected member of the locker room.

13 Placibus Hardsworth, Cathedral Spooks (Assegai)
Age - 1154
Sex - M
Placibus is the strong and quiet one on the back line. He comes to the pitch day in, day out, and does what is expected of him without complaint. He will venture up field during prolonged attacks and on set pieces. Has been working on his crossing to help solidify his position.

Midfield

10 Marsha Stone, S.C. Vagrant Hills (Assegai)
Age - 1157
Sex - F
She is the midfield general and everyone on the team respects her play and personality as one, if not the, best on the team. Quick feet and thinking are just some of her great gifts. Had to overcome a nasty ankle injury a few years back, but it has since panned out that her play is better than it was before the injury, some thinking that the rest rejuvenated her.

22 Rick Cuellar, S.C. Vagrant Hills (Assegai)
Age: 1053
Sex - M
Rick is the playmaker in the midfield, with the uncanny ability to see plays developing before they happen. This leads to many assists for the youngster, and also the thanks of his strikers. WIth Revtron taking the reigns and Tobias joining the squad, his hopes of making the forward spot are slim for the next few tournaments, but he continues to work on his striking skills to capitalize when the chance occurs.

14 MF Justinian Constant, Mar Sara Flames
Age: 1125
Sex - M
Constant lives up to his name, with constant and steady play. He's the jack of all trades in the midfield, able to do everything well, but nothing great. However, his easy going attitude, and smart play allows him to crack the starting line up once more.

Forwards

28 Tobias Raynor, Char Sara Inferno
Age - 1291
Sex - M
Tobias proved during qualuification and the following CoH, that he has the skills and the attitude to compete with anyone on the team, or in the world stride for stride. After spending three years with the Inferno, his skills continue to shine, and he hopes to be part of a three headed monster of an attack.

7 Kyla Night, Raynor City Rockers
Age - 1094
Sex - F
The "Devil's Kiss" looks to torment defenders much like she does in every competition. Already the leading goal scorer in ESF history, she will look to add onto her already amazing resume. She will likely be guarded by the best defender by the opposition throughout the ESF' run. She continues to gain in speed and strenth, making her even more deadly in the attacking third.

8 Zacharius ©, Raynor City Rockers
Age - 1201
Sex - M
A great striker in his own right, vision to see plays devloping, and a master of the header. When paired with Night, he tends to get free and into excellent scoring positions, either putting them away or finding a teammate in a better spot.

#10, Ricky Yunn F (c)

The Stalwart of the team, despite being captain and a forward is very aware of what is happening all over the field and has a strong knolwedge of his other teammates and what they can do. Ricky and Thomas are brothers, though there is a strong rivalry between the two, The reason both of them have made it onto the squad. Though off field they are the closest of brothers.

#53, Frederick Hampstead F

A talented forward, having breathed soccer since he was young, has not scored too many goals himslef but is always in the right place in the right time to make sure that any forward attacking move by the team has the best chance of success. Though he is still looking for and is hungry for his first international goal.

#24, Everrett Kang F

The last of the starting forwards, His incredible accuracy is his main weapon it is the subject of much heated debate which forward is best, generally each excels in a critical area and a combined and sustained attack by all of them would test even the strongest of defense. However, they are quite well balanced by the defense and midfield.

#9, Thomas Yunn, M

Not to be over shadowed by his slightly older brother Thomas has excellent control of the ball and can place it very accurately over long distances, this has even resulted in a few goals for Thomas, who is the left winger.

#32, Quentin Assington M

The centre and master tactition, him and the captain Ricky Yunn control the game, or attempt to anyway. His timing is perfect and has been known to get rid of the ball just before a legal tackle and draw a foul. However Quentin is also a bit of diver though never does it once he gets a yellow.

#27, David Myfanwy M

The only welsh speaking player in Bazalonia David has made a name for himself for his passion for the game. However he can get a bit uptight and can confront referees for even the hint of a bad decision. However as the right winger he just seems to be in the right place at the right time.

#28, Arianna Georsophalous D

One of the 2 women defenders in the team Arianna get's annoyed at the concept of a purely female world cup. If there was a male only world cup then they be different but the world cup is for the best soccer players in the nation. And she has earned her right to be here and will not let anyone else get in the way of her playing her defensive game.

#37, Henry Fjord D

You can never really be sure what this guy will do in any particular occasion usually causing confusion, even then you can't be sure whether he'll take the ball himself, pass it on to another player or just get in the other players way.

#20, Zieta Swift D

The second of the woman in the team, more sedate than her fellow female defender, Zieta does her job and does it well.

#31, Xia Chia D

Oriental appearance, he seemingly works well together with the females in the team managing to set up complex 3-part defensive maneuvers. Xia was once in the Bazalonian military and always had a flare for defense. both on the field but also on the soccer pitch which he was in the Bazalonian Army Soccer team that beat navy in the Armed forces games.

#1, Joshua Kanga K

Younger Brother of Paul Kanga, a previous substitute goal keeper for the Bazalopes Joshua had proven himself during the AOCAF tournaments as a great goalkeeper.

#4, Lou Richards F

The Black oxen have been Decimated by retirements, the Civil war and the shocking death of their Head Coach, Reggie Hassok just before the Quarterfinals of the Cup of Harmony.

So after a long intensive search, the new Head Coach of the Black Oxen is: Fernando Turek age 35, former midfielder for the Black Oxen.

The team will play a +4 in a 3-3-4 formation. Only 5 starters return from the WC32 squad. But with all but 3 players under 30, and 11 under 25, this could be a strong young team built for the next 2 or 3 cups.

Head Coach: Fernando Turek (Captain WC 32, Starter WC 31 & 32, Played in WC's 29-32)

b) away games where our opponent's strip is blue and white in which case the "Gold and Green" strip is used;
c) our goalie wears the predominantly grey "Bark" strip.

The uniforms are made by volunteers from the Textile Workers Union.

To avoid corruption the Errinundera Football Association (http://ns.goobergunch.net/wiki/index.php/Errinundera_Football_Association) does not accept sponsorship from any private organisation.

Style modifier: +3

We would like to point out to the hosts that we are not an offensive side. We play fair and abide by the rules. Our players are averagely attractive but definitely not ugly. They wash regularly. Other than trying to defeat them on the football field, we do not try to upset our opponents or their supporters. Perhaps the hosts mean attacking. Yes we are an attacking team, not a defensive team.

We cannot say the same about our supporters. They are a pack of arsonists.

INTERNATIONAL FOOTBALLERS WANTED

Are YOU a male Orthodox Christian or potential convert to Orthodoxy?

Are YOU attracted to the Orthodox monastic life?

Are YOU an international-class footballer?

If you've answered yes to all of the above questions, the Monastic Football Association needs you.

The Archregimancy is looking to expand its international football team base (currently limited to the limited demographic of devout Orthodox monks who don't mind being exposed to the corrupting influence of international football) by recruiting Orthodox players from outside the Archregimancy.

Immediate Archregimancy citizenship will be offered to players of any nation who pass a trial period designed to test both their footballing skills and devotion to Orthodoxy, to be held in the near future.

The Monastic Football Association

The Fine Print:
1) Individuals who have played international football for another nation at the Under 21 level or above are ineligible.
2) Qualification for the next World Cup will overlap Great Lent. Archregimancy players will be expected to fast accordingly.

Are YOU a male Orthodox Christian or potential convert to Orthodoxy?

Does Orthodox Presbyterian count?

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

Coach/F- Jay Masterson- age 46. Tynelia’s all time leading WC scorer now takes the reigns of the team as his quest to actually qualify and play in a World Cup continues for the seventh straight Cup. Though he is listed as a forward as well, Masterson has admitted that he doesn’t expect to play very much except possibly in some garbage time minutes to rest the “kids” as he calls the rest of the team.

Formation
…………Jakes……………………. C. MacDougal
D.MacDougal…………………Dawson……………….Thompson
………………Landers………………………Willis
Barns…………………...Stossels…………………Marshall………
……………………..Gordman…………………………….

G- Tom Gordman (33- starter) In what he says will be his final Cup, Gordman has never quite lived up to the hype of being the next Vladimar Malloy. Injuries two of the past three seasons have slowed him down though he has had a strong and finally healthy year this season to just beat out MacDFougal for the starters spot.
G- Sean MacDougal (22-reserve) Sean MacDougal is part of the next generation of the MacDougal clan and nephew of the retired Alan MacDougal, his youngest uncle. Sean has the disadvantage of being the youngest of the three MacDougals on this squad and so was forced to be the keeper whenever they played. MacDougal has done well the past few years and is expected to take over the starters role after Gordman retires. He is expected to see some time in net this Cup as opposed to sitting most of last Cup.

F- Connor MacDougal- (26- starter) The eldest of the MacDougal clan, Connor continued the family tradition of high scoring and attacking the net. This season he was tied with Bill Jakes in their continuing competition for the league scoring title. This makes it the fourth straight season one or the other has lead the league in that category with the other finishing no worse than fourth during that time.
F-Mia Thompson (31-starter) – Thompson is a complete player with two straight seasons in the top ten in overall scoring. However she is considered the third option on the team and knows her main goal with be giving Jakes and MacDougal chances to finish the job.
F- Bill Jakes (28- starter) – The ‘scorinator’ is back again and no doubt looks to be both the leading scorer on the team and set the Tynelian all time single round scoring record at the same time. Both he and MacDougal finished one shy of Masterson’s record of 11 and no doubt plan to best it this time around.
F- Alan Dawson (32-starter) Dawson continues to be Mr. All Around. Solid on all sides of the field he is a better on defense than any of the other forwards and the best passer on the team which is why he is considered the field marshall of the offense. With almost the same unit as last Cup, Dawson expects an even bigger scoring output than last cup’s record.
F- Duncan MacDougal (24-starter) The middle MacDougal now gets the start after the unexpected retirement of Greg Samson due to an unfortunate car crash two years ago which ended his career. MacDougal is a better passer than his brother but isn’t the scorer Connor is. However he can more than handle his own end on the attack and may push Thompson for third most goals this time around.
F-Jay Masterson (46- reserve) – see above
F- Tina Conroy (19- reserve)- A newcomer to the Cup, Conroy was this season’s rookie of the year leading all rookies in assists and was third in goals. She is expected to see quite a bit of action as the first sub off the bench and is very excited to be a part of things this Cup. She is expected to someday beat Anya Collins’ mark for most World Cup goals by a woman in the near future.


M- Randy Willis (31- starter) In his fourth Cup, Willis has become an anchor at midfield keeping things undercontrol on both sides of the ball. Still as good a counterattacker as ever, he has also improved his defensive play and led the league with a +17 goal differential this season.
M- Debbie Landers- (29-starter) Landers has improved tremendously on defense since last Cup while still keeping her attack the ball mentality which got her the starting spot last Cup. Masterson likes her more aggressive style which some believe is why she got the starting nod over Harrington.
M- Tom Tippen (29-reserve) Tippen continues to be the change of pace midfielder that he has been all through his career. A great person to have out there when trying to take the air out of the ball his ballhandling and passing are argueably the best in the league. Never one to rush a play you can be sure he’ll wait for just the right momement to make the right call on the field.
M/F- Rachel Harrington (27-reserve) Harrington has continued to impress despite playing two positions this season. While not quite as aggressive as a lot of forwards she has more than held her own at the position. She does seem more comfortable in the midfield though where he lack of aggression helps her on the defensive side of things. She is expected to get most of her playtime at midfield this Cup.

D- Jane Stossels (28-starter) Three time winner of the Defensive player of the year, Stossels continues the fine defensive tradition her father John brought to the field. Now the anchor of the defense Jane expects to live up to the high levels her father set and surpass them if she can.
D- Brian Barns (30-starter) Now in his third Cup, Barns finally breaks into the starter’s spot with the retirements of Alexander Vhalis and Kim Anderson. Masterson has told him not to worry about being emergency keeper this time around and just worry about taking care of things on defense. Barns has for the most part been more comfortable in this role with only one match in net in the last two seasons. As a result his play has improved noticeably with only one position to worry about and is now considered a top five defender.
D- Jacob Marshall (28-starter) Marshall is a three time all star on defense as he gets the start in this his second Cup. Marshall is a stay at home defender who prefers to force the attacker to make the first move before making his counter rather than get in their face and force the issue. While some dislike this style, it seems to work well for him.
D/M- Meggie MacDougal (17- reserve) The next in line of the seemingly infinite number of MacDougals in Tynelian sports, Meggie is actually the daughter of Alan MacDougal and thus the cousin of the three brothers. She made her biggest defensive play of her rookie season this year when she found herself staring at her cousin Connor bearing down on her one on one and ‘picked his pocket’ so cleanly that it took him a moment to realize he didn’t have the ball. She has spent a little time at midfield as her coaches tried to tap into the MacDougal scoring gene that her cousins have but she seems to prefer defense for now.

INTERNATIONAL FOOTBALLERS WANTED

Are YOU a male Orthodox Christian or potential convert to Orthodoxy?

Are YOU attracted to the Orthodox monastic life?

Are YOU an international-class footballer?

If you've answered yes to all of the above questions, the Monastic Football Association needs you.


Aew Oj read the note over several times more, his face serious and thoughtful. He had picked it while shopping in New Hope (http://ns.goobergunch.net/wiki/index.php/New_Hope), and had brought it back to his small suburban home, on the very edge of the forest, within his native Indigenous community.

An educated young man of 24, he worked mainly on subsistence agriculture in his community, doing a few odd jobs in the town too. He had dabbled briefly with Catholicism, but his research into the fascinating field of religion had led him to Orthodoxy. There was nowhere in the vicinity for him to convert, but he had tried to model his life in accordance with the doctrine. Other Wymgani - almost all of them atheists - found it rather odd, but it had never strained his friendship with anyone.

"Hmmm..." The young Indigenous man looked out of the window. It had begun raining outside, one of those frequent semi-tropical downpours. He looked at the advertisement again, but it contained no means of getting in touch with the Dreamed Realm. He shook his head. "Oh, well."

He went to get changed. Time to go and practice football with the lads and ladies. He was one of the very best football players in the entire New Hope area, and he held quiet hopes of playing internationally by the next World Cup.

For the Archregimancy? That would be... something new, he thought as he stepped out into the rain. Do they have Pacific Islander Orthodox monks?

Though I bet the rain over there is nowhere near as warm and pleasant as here...

OOC - please note that, in order to avoid clogging up the roster thread, I will in future only be writing to individuals or nations replying to the Archregimancy roster advert in the RP threads. In the interim, please either TG me or wait to post your reply in the RP threads.

But just quickly, to answer the two people who've already answered here...

Arridia, in real life I don't know of any Pacific Islander Orthodox monks or Orthodox missions. If they exist, they're most likely to be based in New Zealand (Auckland is the largest Polynesian city in the world), though there are only some 10,000 Orthodox in NZ. There's also an Orthodox Native American Catholic Archdiocese (http://www.education-1.net/ONACA.htm)of extremely dubious canonicity that claims to represent all Western Hemisphere indigenous peoples. The Russian Orthodox Church and its American offshoots, however, do have a strong tradition of mission activity to indigenous Alaskans, particularly under St. Innocent of Alaska (http://orthodoxwiki.org/Innocent_of_Alaska). Whatever; we'll happily convert Aew Oj.

Schorteskatascansolani, as a new World Cup participant, you may not be aware that the Archregimancy is Orthodox as in Eastern Orthodox. 'Orthodox Presbyterian' most definitely doesn't count, and would be considered an oxymoron by Archregimancy citizens. And besides, Presbyterians don't have monks.

The Quintessential squad will consist of the 18 players currently engaged in the Baptism of Fire competition. In addition, four other players will join them, including a surprise recall for veteran striker Alfred Wolfgang Cynus, who will be joining the BoF team, though probably not to start playing immediately. Thus, assuming there are no injuries, the squad for WC33 will be:

GK
1. Winchester Furman
13. Benjamin Chan
17. Frank Ubermeier

D
3. David Yellowback
4. Guilermo Azzinio
5. Charles Williams
6. Theodore Littlefellow (c)
8. Michel Marberger
14. Robert Robson
21. Derek Drake

M
2. Frederic Renard
7. Peter Rogers
11. Dino Achten
15. Wilhelm Biber
16. Montgomery Mountbatten
19. Seamus O'Brien
20. Tom O'Leary

F
9. Roger Longhorn
10. Dennis Young
12. Jessica Jensen
18. Benvolio Azzini
22. Alfred Cynus

<a herald declares> “By order of His Most Noble, Righteous and Benevolently Beloved Majesty King John IV, in a stratagem worthy of the greatest of generals, it has been decreed that to better befuddle our foes on the field of battle that all but one of this team shall be hooded and masked and known only as a ‘Black Knight’ with a number denoting who they are. His Most Noble, Righteous and Benevolently Beloved Majesty King John IV also wishes to unveil a new heavy woolen kit for the team as a token of his esteem for his knights. Let be known also that only that mighty champion Miller Wallace who smote our foes again and again is the sole unmasked personage on this team that our foes may tremble at the sight of him on the attack.

Style +5

Formation 2-2-6

Coach- Sir James Kenmore age 45 the greatest knight in all of Tessan remains the team captain as to step down would impinge upon his honor so he shall remain in this role until asked to step down by the King.

Team

F- Miller Wallace of Chamberville age 30 (starter) the most popular commoner in Tessan after producing over 20 goals in WC 31, Wallace is back with the promise of a knighthood if he can repeat that performance.
F- Black Knight #1 (starter)- this large person seems to have the build of a smith and tries to take advantage of his size at 6’5” to dominate the field of play.
F- Black Knight #2 (starter)- this religious fellow, as noted by the small crucifix he has sewn onto his jersey, seems to know his way around the field fairly well. He has been seen to kneel in a prayer of thanks to the lord after each Tessan goal. He is the best passer on the team and was quoted recently as saying this better to share the ball than suffer the sin of greed for one’s own goals.
F- Black Knight #3 (starter)- a slender, smallish figure, thought to be a squire, is said to always be aware of the nearby play and seldom caught out of position, this knight seems to be the best ball handler on the team and best angle kicker.
F- Black Knight #4 (starter)- an arrogant fellow, who is much carded after much questionable play though he is fairly adept at not getting caught that often, but he does possess a thunderous shot at the goal
F- Black Knight #5 (starter)- suspected to be Sir Javar the Brave, the former squire of Sir James Kenmore and thought by many to be the heir to the title of greatest knight in all Tessan. This knight is utterly fearless on the attack though his ball handling skills are rather suspect.
F- Black Knight #12 (starter)- Another slender knight, most believe this is someone’s squire. Very aggressive on the attack but also a decent passer
F- Black Knight #13 (starter)- rumored to be cursed with bad luck, this knight nearly missed the Cup after his horse supposedly fell down a ravine but he luckily escaped with no serious injuries according to the royal heralds. Physicians across Tessan are reportedly being sought out and question to try and determine this knight’s identity. No word has been given as to the knight’s skill in the game.

M- Black Knight #6 (starter)- This knight seems to be more mature than the rest of the starters leading people to believe that he is either a nobleman or just an older knight. While not the fastest on the field he has been said to be steady and reliable no matter the situation
M- Black Knight #7 (starter)- This knight is also suspected to be a squire due to his shortness but is by far the fastest knight on the team. He is unremarkable on offense but solid defensively adding credence that this is a young squire under the hood.
M- Black Knight #14 (reserve)- The lone backup, this knight is more aggressive than the other midfielders and slightly bulkier as well making him a presence on either end of the field.


D- Black Knight #8 (starter)- This knight is thought to be the Captain of the Palace guard Sir Raoul the Steadfast due to his utter refusal to give an inch on defense no matter what the odds. While this has sometimes made him vulnerable to a quick passing game, it has also been said to break up as many attacks by not being where the attackers think he would be.
D- Black Knight #9 (starter)- This knight is rumored to be a minor Baronet seeking glory but not wishing to be made known in case he embarrasses himself. Rumors say that despite whatever fears this knight may have that he is steady in the box and has a good feel for the game.
D- Black Knight #15 (reserve)- absolutely nothing is known about this player except that he was a late addition to the team which would indicate he must be quite skilled.
D/M Black Knight #16 (reserve)- rumored to be a player capable of playing just about anywhere on the field but designated to the defensive side of things for now according to most reports. A tall lanky player, its said he greatest value comes in dealing with corner kicks from the foe.

Keeper- Black Knight #10 (starter)- This knight is another tall person which gives him better than average reach and coverage of the net. Little information has been gathered regarding his actual skill though as the starter it should be assumed he can play the position.
Keeper- Black Knight #11 (reserve)- this knight is reportedly Goodman Alan of Quarterspire after a local herald who has made that claim mysteriously vanished from his home one night. A veteran of the last Cup if so, it would make sense that the older player step aside for younger legs. Nothing definite can be determined at this point however.

FORT EUROPE
NATIONAL FOOTBALL TEAM
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v495/SgtShezz/fort_europe.png

Fort Europe are back for their second attempt at the NS World Cup and high hopes of qualifying this time round. Most of the team have moved domestic clubs since the last NSWC, but there are no changes to the side.

STAFF BIO's

Manager - Stuart Moss - 35

SQUAD BIO's

GK - 01 - James West - 27 - Stape Harriers
The longest serving player on the Fort Europe national side, James joined the team in 2004 and has played more games than any other in the history of football in Fort Europe.

GK - 13 - Ed Russell - 22 - Kaytuo City
Ed transferred to Kaytuo last year for a staggering 34 million Commonwealth Euros, and is predicted to become one of the prominent names in the years to come.

GK - 23 - Tom Reas - 15 - Baysleef Bombers (Elves Security Forces)
The youngest player in the squad, Tom took his club to glory this season as they won the Commonwealth Domestic Premier League for the third year in a row.

DF - 02 - Floe Peltsten - 20 - Stape Harriers
Floe followed in the footsteps of his father and joined the national team when he was 18, a year on and he is a regular in the squad with 31 caps to his name.

DF - 03 - Tim Forrester - 28 - AC Leà Monde
Team captain, Tim is one of the most experienced players in the team and has announced his retirement from International football at the end of this season. His leadership and skill will be sorely missed.

DF - 12 - Laura Harris - 17 - Racing River Rapid
Laura joined the team at the start of last season to bring a bit of pace into the back row. She may be young but she has the confidence to carry through in any given situation.

DF - 14 - Shaun Pearson - 23 - Mar Sara Flames (Elves Security Forces)
With three seasons now under his belt, Shaun has become one of the teams most valuable players and has the leadership qualities to take over as captain next season.

DF - 04 - Murphy Lee -25 - Fortress FC
Never one to miss a game, even when advised against it, Murphy gives his all in any game, and more in the important ones. His free kicks are second to none, and he hasn't missed from the penalty spot yet.

DF - 15 - Mike Young - 24 - Assegai Developments FC (Assegai)
Transferred to Assegai's top domestic team at the end of the season, ninety five percent of his fan base are 16 year old girls.

DF - 20 - Aki Haddon - 19 - Kaytuo City
Aki is a powerful defender able to drive both the ball and the team forwards when most needed. She played exceptionally well in the last NSWC qualifiers and was disappointed that the team didn't qualify for the finals.

MF - 05 - Gemma Lloyd - 23 - Orson Town
The rock in the centre of midfield, nothing gets past this lady. Tall, blonde and stunning both on and off the pitch, you won't win anything against this starlet.

MF - 06 - Katherine Keller - 21 - Fortress FC
Adding a burst of pace down the right side, Kathy's specialty is crossing the ball and is useful in set pieces with a powerful right foot.

MF - 07 - Ryan Holmes - 21 - Fortress FC
Ryan made the national team after a strong performance last year in the domestic Premier League and performs well as a playmaker for the side, able to hold the ball up and feed it with precision to where ever he wants it.

MF - 17 - Vicky Princess - 22 - Cathedral Spooks DC (Assegai Developments)
Vicky moved to Assegai club Cathedral Spooks at the end of last season after showing the world what she could do during the 32nd NSWC. She is keen and confident that she can perform well again this time around and will be sure not to disappoint her fans.

MF - 08 - Andy Fletcher - 23 - Assegai Developments FC (Assegai)
When Mike Young moved to Assegai, Andy insisted on tagging along. A strong and confident defensive midfielder, he doesn't get forward much but is highly reliable at the back. The Assegai Developments national side, rivals from The YoungWorld region are now in their second year in the NS World Cup.

MF - 18 - Mia Nevola - 21 - Ascama United
Little Mia is just 5'2" tall, but has been timed as the fastest player on the team, and her naturally strong left foot makes her an invaluable asset on the left wing, though she is more than capable of cutting inside and scoring with either foot.

MF - 22 - Edowine Sanjuan - 17 - Sirus Athletic
Edowine supported by her young daughter Sheri, will be looking to break into the side more frequently this time round . She is a flamboyant midfielder who is always likely to do the unexpected in acrobatic style.

AF - 09 - Michelle Bishop - 23 - Stape Harriers
Top goal scorer in the Commonwealth Premiership two years running, Michelle knows where the goal is without the need to look, and finds the back of the net more often than not. Michelle was voted as The YoungWorld's sexiest personality in 2005, and says she enjoys modeling as a hobby, though has turned down recent offers to star in a porn movie. Michelle scored 12 goals in the qualifying stages of the the 32nd NSWC.

AF - 10 - Chris Lessinger - 24 - Stape Harriers
Chris has a tendency to sit back and let others do all the hard work, then snatch the rebounds and get those vital tap ins at the back post. He always seems to be in the right place at the right time.

AF - 19 - Ian Sikes - 19 - Sirus Athletic
Ian has only made 8 international starts in the last two seasons, but has performed well in all of them and is long overdue a full start, his lack of experience and the superior talent of his team mates being the only thing holding him back. He was voted Sirus Athletics most valuable player last season.

AF - 24 - Del Jenkins - 26 - Hartdale Hawks (Elves Security Forces)
Prolific would be an understatement for this goal scorer who once broke a goal post with an overly powerful shot. His age and pace however have let him down on occasion and he is unlikely to start a game in this competition.

AF - 11 - Karl Isaak - 25 - DS Assegai (Assegai Developments)
Fort Europe's star player, Karl has been with the national side for three seasons now and has at least another two in him. Karl recently left Fort Lakaria City and moved to Assegai Developments to play in the APL.

AF - 25 - Josephine Blanchard - 16 - Racing River Rapid
The third new face in the team, Joey was born in the River Rapids Isabella Stadium, grew up in the stands and at 12 years old was selected for the national youth squad. Apparently she is still the 3R's mascot and guiding star after insuring the team’s survival in their first Premiership season.

-----


After much deliberation and a lack of anyone whatsoever with any semblance of international experience, Kingsforder head coach Ean Hearthshawe Doogan has officially named the twenty-five players to be sent to World Cup 33 as the Kingsford National Team.

Starting XI

Goalkeeper
STYEL, Michael
24, FC Spanish Point
Michael Styel has been starting between the posts for FC Spanish Point since he was 17. During that time, he has led Punto to six out of eight finals, of which they have won three. Considered by many to be the best keeper in the Royal Premier League, Styel holds the record for least career goals allowed. He has been named to the RPLXI five times, including the past three years.

Defenders
SAUNT, Theophilus
18, Pasternacke
Since Pasternacke’s incorporation into the Royal League 9 years ago, they have moved from RL3 through RL2, RL1, and RLC to the RPL in just six seasons. Their recent success in maintaining a position in the Premiership has been due in large part to defender Theophilus Saunt. Just 14 when he was signed by the club, he has proven in his four years there to be a brick wall in defense, matching wits with some of the best veterans of KPL football.

DISNES, William
24, Johnstown
William Disnes has the most international experience of any player on the Kingsford team, having attended a domestic match in Rejistania while on holiday there. He is the only player in the RPL to have ever left the country. He enjoys Coen Brothers movies and Thai cuisine. He was named to the RPLXI in the most recent season.

WALDERNOSSE, John
20, Bloucanteaux
Though they were just recently relegated from the Royal League Championship to Royal League 1, Bloucanteaux has one redeeming quality, and that is that they possess the player John Waldernosse. When he entered the league three years ago, Many considered Waldernosse to be the best defender in Kingsford history. He turned down offers from Elders, Albia, and other major teams to play at the team he grew up supporting, Bloucanteaux. Unfortunately, not many other good players have this same loyalty, and his team has done less than stellar in the past few seasons.

SWAIN, Ozymandias
18, Enell
The anchor of the recent powerhouse Enell, Ozymandias Swain openly admits that he hates the poetry of Percy Bysshe Shelley. He has compared it to the sound of live kittens being ripped apart, a poorly sedented landfill after an earthquake, and the movie “Tron.” He does admit though that one of the main reasons he detests Shelley’s poetry so much is because every time someone hears his first name, they ask him about it.

Midfielders
AROUGELA, Brian
22, Black Coast
Brian Arougela is sometimes called “The Wolf of Redglen,” because he is swift and cunning on the pitch, and he has a really hairy chest. Also, he comes from Redglen. It makes sense.

VOULTORE, Roger
30, FC Spanish Point
Roger Voultore has won more RPL cups than any other player in the league’s history: Three with Elders, one with the club Ambassadors, and three with his current club, FC Spanish Point. He is a true veteran of the game, and probably the most experienced player on the team, which is why he was elected captain by his teammates. Roger Voultore also has only one eye, and wears an eyepatch while he plays. No one really knows how he lost his eye, but there were rumors circulating that he either lost it in a knife fight with future prime minister Rome Waters while the two were roommates in college, or that he lost it while hunting big sharks off Kingsford’s southern coast. Neither of these stories is very likely, because Roger never went to college, and he doesn’t know how to swim.

VEOT, Stephen
19, Maquacay
Named by Kingsford Today magazine to be one of the 25 smartest young people, Stephen Veot graduated high school by the time he was thirteen. While he was working on his dissertation for his doctorate in Philosophy at age 17, a friend introduced him to the game of soccer. Stephen was a natural, and dropped out of college to pursue a professional career.

GATREAUX, Olmo
23, Knightsworth
Hailing from the French-speaking southeastern region of Kingsford, Olmo Gatreaux sometimes has trouble expressing himself to his teammates. Nevertheless, he is one of the most skilled midfielders in the nation and has lead the Knightsworth team on a resurge to the top of the table. He was the recent subject of late night talk show banter when a quote of his concerning the youth leagues was taken out of context when he said “I like very much the little boys.” He is not, contrary to popular bantering, a pedophile, he just has trouble expressing himself in English.

Forwards
TELDERNEM, Peter
20, Enell
Peter Teldernem and his counterpart on offence have been responsible for 80% of the goals by Enell in the past three seasons, and 60% in the past six. In the past six years that Peter has been playing for Enell, he has helped them achieve five consecutive final appearances, three RPL championships, and a third place finish, cementing their place as one of the best clubs in recent history. In addition to being a star forward, Teldernem is an avid bowler, and can often be seen at the Arms-of-Nobles bowling palace rolling rounds with the minister of education.

LEES, Orion
17, Enell
Orion Lees is considered to be the best player under 20 in all of Kingsford football. In Enell’s RPL Championship two years ago, he did not play a single minute, because the game was scheduled to begin at 9PM, and his mother wouldn’t let him play because he had to attend school the next morning.



Substitute VI

Goalkeeper
SOUSEE, Ricky
16, Toryo Dolphins FC
Ricky Sousee has only recently made a name for himself in professional soccer. Many consider him a strong contender to start in the next cup, seeing him as second string in this one only because of his age and lack of experience. Ricky has the least allowed goals in a single season of any player, though he is only in his second season. It is speculated that if he didn’t play behind such a horrible offence, then he might actually win a cup.

Defenders
HELPER, Richard
24, Ambassadors
Richard Helper is a key member of the Ambassadors defense, and holds the world record for the largest house of cards ever built, implementing over 300 decks and reaching a height of two stories. Critics believe that if Ambassadors performed better in the post-season tournaments, then Helper would not have so much free time. He is the only player in the Premier League to wear sports goggles, causing him to be the target of many four eyes jokes from the opposing team.

KNESS, Mark
22, Valentines
Mark Kness has been a member of Valentines since two years after they achieved their first and only RPL championship. This has given Kness an inferiority complex to his predecessor, and he is in constant inner turmoil, consistently self criticizing. He’s a general all-around good guy though, just kind of uncomfortable to be around.

Midfielders
CALCETE, Marcos
16, Barcoenfuego
The son of who is arguably the greatest forward in Kingsford football history, Saturn Calcete, Marcos has much of the same skill and style of play as his father. Some even consider him to be better, though he has little experience and is relatively young for coach Doogan to give him a starting nod.

WATTS, Simien
24, Elders
Recently acquired by Elders, the winningest team in Kingsford RPL history, Simien Watts has helped lift the storied team out of the Royal League Championship and into a second place finish this most recent season, losing in the final to FC Spanish Point. Before he played for Elders, Watts notched a championship with another historically dominant club, Albia, in his second season of play.

Forward
MARKMOHAIN, Gabriel
18, Albia
Gabriel Markmohain grew up in a slum on the east side of Arms of Nobles, watching outside of the gates as Elders played when he grew up. He was noticed by a talent scout playing in an empty lot downtown, and has since risen to prominence as one of the most consistent strikers in the league. Though he is happy at Albia and has a 4 year contract there, his dream is to one day play for Elders.



Reserve VIII

Goalkeeper
BLOCK, Julius
25, Elders

Defenders
ROTH, Edward
18, Quoritonnan

BACKERTY, Liam
19, Arms of Nobles

Midfielders
RIVET, Luke
19, Batavian

VALDERMARE, Brian
15, Lorfield

FIYELTE, Otis
17, Elders

Forwards
OEUX, Michel
27, Writhereigh

GUEST, Tom
19, Golion






Manager
DOOGAN, Ean Harthshawe
58, FC Spanish Point
His longstanding tradition of success at FC Spanish Point earned him the position as national team manager. Since signing on at FC Spanish Point, he has earned four RPL Championships, played in nine finals, finished in the top three fifteen times, and been selected “Manager of the Year” seven times. He interests include coaching football and the music of Duran Duran.

Az-cz provisional roster, to be used during friendlies proceeding World Cup 33

Federation name: Az-Cz football Federation
Team Nicknames: Gnomes, Adventurers, Robbers, Pinkos
Team Colors: Pink and Green

Roster:

Coaches: Both head coaches remain in place. However only one original assistant remains, with two new coaches coming up from the ranks of the recently retired.

Caine Hawdon, Bazalonia

Former Coach of the Bazalonian National team, played an integral part in establishing the early days of Bazalonian soccer and helped push them to the heights they are at now

Special Advisor: Khim Azanulbizarn

Under Khim, Starblaydia made it through to the Last-sixteen from World Cups 25 to 30, finshing First, Second and Third in his time there, as well as advancing to the Second Round and Quarter-Finals. His last tournament before joining Az-cz was a second place finish losing to Bedistan after an winning every match preceeding the finals.

Peter Hobble, Bazalonia

Peter Hobble had a gifted scorers touch while playing for the Bazalopes and hopes to share his knowledge with the Az-cz strikers.

Zax-Im

Former captain of the Az-cz team, leading them to a Baptism of Fire championship and their first ever world cup finals. Is a master motivator and a master of tactical defensive midfield, he will share his knowledge with his former teammates, but focus on developing the younger talent, especially on the defensive side of the ball.

Players:

After the disappointing performance in Milchama and due to the advanced age of a number of the players there is a high turnover from last cup to this one. Many new faces will be seen competing in the matches being held in Az-cz.

Forwards:

#9 - EE-Or

Height: 5'6"
Weight: 153 lbs
Age: 22
Club Team: Red Dwarf Rangers

Ee-Or has overtaken Stanleyinho on top of the pile of Az-czid strikers. With some impressive goals in the AOCAF and a continuing developing form he has surpassed his mate at his club. Has a great finishing touch and should add a lot of energy to his side as he earns a starting position on his first selection to the senior squad.

#19 - Stanleyinho

Height: 6'6"
Weight: 180 lbs
Age: 30
Club Team: Red Dwarf Rangers

Stanleyinho and his brother Hubertino are not native Az-Czzers but both have immigrated from Brazil at a young age. Az-cz disapproves of hired hands playing for the national team but as the boys are long time citizens there is no problem. Along with being non native Az-czzers they are the two tallest players on the team. Stanleyinho is a wonderful striker. His ability to beat defenders is his strongest attribute. He has blazing speed and an ability to go around other players is hard to stop. He does have good heading abilities, but they aren't as strong as might be expected for someone of his height because there aren't many players in the -League who can match up for him in terms of height. His shot is also quite impressive as he can generally pick out where the ball is going to go. He rarely bombs them over the net like many players do. Was a key part of the Baptism of Fire championship and was the starting striker on both Az-cz runs to the world cup finals. Has lost his starting position leading up to the cup on home soil, but is expected to play an important role none the less.

#14 - Uz-Gz

Height: 5'2"
Weight: 130 lbs
Age: 28
Club Team: Golem Golems

With Bub-Rub and Ox-Rx both retiring from international play Uz-Gz is the only other remaining forward from the original Baptism of Fire squad. Uz-Gz is the master of the counter attack. He doesn't have the strength to win challenges that his club mate Ox-Rx does but he is a master with the ball at his feet. He is the strongest dribbler on the team and in the open field is almost impossible to stop.

#15 - Fe-Do

Height: 5'5"
Weight: 139 lbs
Age: 18
Club Team: Vertigo Slimes

Fe-Do was EE-Or's attack partner on the most recent AOCAF side. He looks to slide into his club teammate Bub-Rub's old spot as an absolute speedster with pinpoint finishing skills. While he is by far the youngest and least polished of the four strikers he does have great raw ability and is constantly getting better.

Midfield:

#10 - Pizelkaxrovsky

Height: 5'9"
Weight: 170 lbs
Age: 29
Club Team: Burlock Jesters

Upon meeting Pizelkaxrovsky many people assume that he is not an ethnic Az-czzer. Many things about him are unorthodox, to be sure, but he is an Az-czzer through and through. Coming from a family that eschewed social conventions he has an interesting perspective on things. His name, far from Az-czid standards and without the almost entirely prevalent hyphen, is just one way in which he shows this oddness. He is also the most free wheeling and joking member of the Az-cz squad. He is the perfect face of a team called the Jesters. Usually this is an advantage but of the Az-Cz players he is the one most likely to do something outrageous in a game and get sent off. He has been ejected from games for things such as delay of games after excessive celebrations or sexual harassment of a Yang Knights fan in the middle of a game the Jesters were losing in the Shangri-la Cup. As for his play on the pitch Pizelkaxrovsky is a master creator. His vision is supreme in the -League and he led the league in assists despite playing with two rather average strikers on the Jesters. More so than even Bub-Rub he has honed his extra senses and never seems to make a wrong decision. He is also the freekick taker for the team and has a dazzling ability to place the ball where it needs to go. He was the Golden Ball winner for best player in the Baptism of Fire and advanced to the finals of the Legend Free Kick competition during WCxXx. He is far and away the most talented Az-czzer and rivals the abilities of any player anywhere. In general, as he goes, so goes the team.

#8 - Hubertino

Height: 6'5"
Weight: 200 lbs
Age: 32
Club Team: Yang Knights

While his brother honed his skills as a goal poacher Hubertino learned to play a much more balanced game. Hubertino is an all-around excellent player. Hubertino can comfortably play anywhere in the midfield but most of his time is spent in the defensive half of the midfield. Combined with Zax-im they give the Yang Knights an incredibly strong defensive midfield, such that some teams struggle even to get the ball to the back third of the Yang field, much less scoring. He has taken some time to get used to not having his partner with him on defense for the national team, but now it is truly his defense. His positioning and stamina makes it seem that he's always in the right place, whether to make a saving tackle, corrale a looseball, or recieve a pass.

#7 - Kn-Dg

Height: 5'4"
Weight: 140 lbs
Age: 23
Club Team: Yak Clerics

Kn-dg is the only player on the team or in -League who challenge Pizelkaxrovsky for total skill. Amazingly, he is now the age Pizelkaxrovsky was in his first cup, yet Kn-Dg has already been a starter for three Az-cz world cup sides. He mostly plays on the wing using his speed to flash down the side to set up plays for the other players. He is the main corner taker for the team and is also the best goal scorer on the team from his spot in attacking midfield.

#16 - James Levesque

Height: 6'3"
Weight: 210 lbs
Age: 22
Club Team: Yak Clerics

Kn-Dg's strike partner and the son of former coach Roger Levesque, James Levesque is a brilliant attacking player. He also has good size which can cause considerable problems for the players around. That attacking pair is setting the -League on fire and look to do the same in the world cup. In their third world cup together in front of home fans expect Levesque and Kn-Dg to light up the goals in a major way.

#12 - Lo-Ro

Height: 5'3"
Weight: 125 lbs
Age: 31
Club Team: Vertigo slimes

Lo-Ro is the one of two new starters this cup. Having payed his dues on the bench for three cups, when the coaches switched to a 3-6-1 he earned a starting spot next to Hubertino. After years of languishing on the bench he is definitely expected to tighten up the Az-cz midfield and help control the ball. With his experience watching world cup matches up close he has quite a good idea of what's going on and will also draw on Zax-Im's knowledge as they approach the cup.

#11 - Ip-Gp

Height: 5'3"
Weight: 120 lbs
Age: 23
Club Team: Darzog Mages

Ip-Gp is the other new starter and has really come into his own. He is joining Pizelkaxrovsky in central midfield and will really help deversify the attack. Playing behind Pizelkaxrovsky he has really learned game management skills. He will provide the Az-cz team with a very difficult to deal with midfield. He is also the best penalty taker on the team. Like Lo-Ro he has developed through three world cups on the subs bench and should make a big contribution as a starter this time around.

#17 - Hmr-Pn

Height: 5'6"
Weight: 145 lbs
Age: 21
Club Team: Yak Clerics

Although Hmr-Pn has lost his starting position in the shuffle to the 3-6-1 formation he is still expected to play a big role this cup. He has returned to his position in central midfield although he can definitely move in either direction. His experience as a starter for a world cup qualifying team means he will almost certainly be one of the best substitutes in the world. Along with Stanleyinho the Gnomes will certainly have options from the bench.

#18 - Hu-35

Height: 5'1"
Weight: 130 lbs
Age: 19
Club Team: Darzog Mages

Hu-35 is back for his second time around. He's turned into an attacking midfielder but is still more than capable of representing any position in the midfield. As the main attacking midfield choice from the bench he will see plenty of time in action in friendlies and might well see action in the world cup itself in front of the home fans.

#13 - Jorge Shockey

Height: 6'1"
Weight: 190 lbs
Age: 17
Club Team: Red Dwarf Rangers

Jorge Shockey has been chosen to fill a vitalbut underappreciated role. that of backup defensive midfielder. With Lo-Ro being promoted to the starting lineup a backup midfielder was needed. Shockey provides a more physical package and a sharp mind as well as developing skills. With three experienced minds in Hubertino, Lo-Ro and coach Zax-Im to learn from he should develop nicely.

#20 - Ho-Lee Chung

Height: 5'10"
Weight: 165 lbs
Age: 21
Club Team: Golem Golems

Ho-Lee Chung made an impressive showing during the AOCAF and used that as a spring board to both a transfer to the strong Golem Golems side and to the last spot on the Az-cz bench. Like Shockey he benefitted from the larger midfield as one defender spot was transferred to the midfield. In case that a pure attacking presence is needed from the midfield he provides it. While he can cause plenty of havoc for an opposing defense he is the weakest link on the team in terms of Az-cz defense, so putting him in will certainly tilt the game in an offensive direction.

Defenders:

#3 - Mario Nerazzurri

Height: 6'8"
Weight: 225 lbs
Age: 29
Club Team: Red Dwarf Rangers

With Ml-Dni, Ns-Ta and At-Zm all retiring after the cup in Milchama Nerazzuri is now alone amongst the old guard of Az-cz defenders. He will be vital to the teams chances of success at home as both the key defender and captain of the squad. This team will be his team indeed. He uses his height to good form to control the box. Arial attacks are basically doomed to failure against him and he has a good ability to sniff out other attacks as well. With his increased experience he is an absolute star in defense. He will hold down the central position in the three man defense, having progressed from a wingback in his early days to the true king of the defenders.

#2 - Haji-Me

Height: 6'0"
Weight: 195 lbs
Age: 21
Club Team: Red Dwarf Rangers

Haji-Me is huge as Gnome players go. He also has a huge role as he is one of two returning defensive starters and must help Nerazzuri turn away the goals. Although he likes to get into the attack he has truly improved his abilities as a pure defender.

#4 - Kz-Kz

Height: 5'5"
Weight: 144 lbs
Age: 26
Club Team: Burlock Jesters

Kz-Kz has come along way from his first selection to the Az-cz side for the Baptism of Fire. Back then he was just a hot headed kid who relied on his physical skills to make plays. Although he still uses his physicality he has really improved mentally and now has both technique and perception to go with it. He no longer gives up ticky tack fouls and will help control the line.

#5 - Du-Tre

Height: 5'7
Weight: 160 lbs
Age: 22
Club Team: Yak Clerics

Du-Tre is part of the youth movement at Yak Clerics who look to become the dominant team in the -League. Du-Tre is a blazing fast defender who makes plays that can spring the attack quite well. He tends to gamble to make things happen but can be provide a huge spark from the back line when he makes good plays. His role on the squad has increased greatly from last cup. Then he was the last defender, just an observer but this time around he must step into At-Zm's role as the first defender off the bench. Although defensive subs see less action than offensive ones, he still ought to have a decent role for this squad.

#6 - La-Yu

Height: 5'3
Weight: 130 lbs
Age: 20
Club Team: Cloud Harpies

La-Yu is an up and coming defender. He had lapses in the AOCAF but stilled show a wide range of skills. While he might not have made the team if the veterans hadn't retired he still ought to help the team. He won't be outmanned at the international level.

#21 - Ca-Fu

Height: 5'8
Weight: 160 lbs
Age: 16
Club Team: Golem Golems

Ca-Fu is the most speculative player on this team and also the youngest. He has incredible raw skills and it's possible that when all is said and done he will be remembered as the greatest Az-cz defender ever. But he is still only 16 and that means that his skills haven't developed yet. Even more than for a striker defenders work on skill rather than pure physicality. So he'll need to progress, but the coaching staff believes that he will benefit greatly from training with the senior side. This is definitely a decision made with an eye on the future.

Goalies:

#1 - Gn-Lg

Height: 5'11"
Weight: 160 lbs
Age: 30
Club Team: Yang Knights

Gn-Lg is the tallest ethnic Az-czzer on the team. Using his height and his keen senses Gn-Lg has already risen to the top of the league. Since taking over as the number one goalkeeper for the Yang Knights he has pushed them back to the top of the league. He is incredibly unflappable and has a good sense on penalties. He even made PK saves against both Stanleyinho and Pizelkaxrovsky in the last season, as well as his PK save against Green Wombat that all but assured the Gnomes their first trip to a world cup finals. He gives his entire team a sense of comfort that even if they make up theres still a good chance they'll be able to withstand the attack. Absolutely unflappable almsot every team in the world hopes for a goalkeeper like Gn-Lg.

#22 - Fr-Tld

Height: 5'6"
Weight: 140 lbs
Age: 32
Club Team: Vertigo Slimes

Fr-Tld is the second Az-Czid keeper. He is a very good keeper and should Gn-Lg miss a game for some reason Fr-Tld will be there to step in for him. Has played in enough matches and been around on enough teams to be considered a very strong second choice keeper. Az-cz fans shouldn't worry if there is a need to play Fr-Tld.

#23 - Bu-Lv

Height: 5'2"
Weight: 130 lbs
Club Team: Yak Clerics
Age: 28

Bu-Lv is the former understudy for Gn-Lg at Yang Knights. He is a solid young keeper who looks to improve greatly now that he has his own team to lead, and an improving one at that, in Yak Clerics. He is the youngest of the goalkeepers. He expects to be third keeper for a while as both Gn-Lg and Fr-Tld should remain with the team for many years.

Formations:

The standard formation for the Az-Cz national team is 3-6-1, for the first time this cup.

The starters are EE-Or up front, Kn-Dg and Levesque playing very attacking midfielders, Pizelkaxrovsky and Ip-Gp in somewhat attacking positions of control in the middle and Lo-Ro and Hubertino in well pulled back defensive midfield positions. Kz-Kz and Haji-Me are the wing backs who often drift into the offense and Nerazzurri patrols the middle of the defense. The team will also use the 3-5-2 and 4-5-1 formations favored by past Az-cz teams.

Representation from the -League Professional teams:

1. Yang Knights (2/2)
2. Red Dwarf Rangers (3/5)
3. Vertigo Slimes (1/3)
4. Golem Golems (0/3)
5. Burlock Jesters (2/2)
6. Clouds Harpies (0/1)
7. Yak Clerics (2/5)
8. Darzog Mages (1/2)
9. Pagoda Ninjas
10. Toad Meadow Witches
11. Nightshadow Vampires
12. Basenji Werewolves
13. Terror Lichs
14. Sphinx Mummies
15. Winterkill Ghosts

SFF announce squad for WC33

TEAM MANAGMENT

Rodney Lowe [Age 71]
After seven campaigns as the Sloths' team manager, Lowe is now Chief of the SFF after the death of Harvey Alfredo.

Tony Tarmey [Age 49]
Still Schiavonia's all-time top scorer, Tarmey will be only Schiaovnia's second ever manager, taking over from Lowe after being his assistant last time around. Will hopefully be able to bring fresh inspiration for the team.

GOALKEEPERS

1. Chris Howard (Kingsbury Monarchs [23] WC 31 (for Socialist Romanistan), WC32-)
The most experienced goalkeeper in Schiavonia, in international terms at least, Howard will be looking forward to another busy time in this attack-minded team.

2. Alan Frescoe (Welkay Lakeside [33] WC31-32)
3. Benji Cuerto (Socialist Romanistan [32] WC31-32)
Schiavonia's two back up keepers. Frescoe is a great shot stopper while Cuerto has a superb command of his penalty area. Neither has ever been first choice, having first Jack Holmes and now Howard ahead of them in the pecking order.


DEFENDERS

11. Tarquin Freud (Kingsbury Monarchs [34] WC30-)
Was thought to be a brighter prospect than Noel Fielding, but ineffective performances at World Cup 30 pushed him down the pecking order. After Nicolai Ferreira's retirement, though, Freud has been handed one last chance to prove his worth.

12. Noel Fielding (Charles City [31] WC30-)
Full-back Ed's younger brother, Noel has a great natural sense of positioning and is prefered in the starting team to Freud. He'll know that he has to perform to keep his place.

13. Matthew Tilda (Welkay Lakeside [19] WC33-)
The only new player in the squad, "Waltzing" has a great natural reading of the game, and Tarmey is sure to try to give him every chance to develop in the team.

14. Marco Danzer (Social Club de Sedgefield [33] WC30-32)
Danzer has been fourth choice behind three quality centre backs playing for two places in the team for some time now. This will be his last chance to add to his severely limited number of caps.

16. Andy Bell (Kingsbury Monarchs [23] WC32-)
The battle for a place at right-back is going to be a very interesting one. Both Bell and Bird have what it takes, but team selection in this position will be on a game by game basis.

17. Ed Fielding (Charles City [33 (Captain)] WC29-)
Ed Fielding is in the top bracket of left-backs in international football. The inclusion of his brother Noel should push him even further.

18. Mike O'Connor (Threlo Rovers [24] WC32-)
A young understudy for Ed Fielding, more in the squad for the experience, and one for the future.

19. Billy Bird (Social Club de Sedgefield [27] WC32-)
The successor of Enrique Williams at club level also gets the nod to do so at international level. Is quick going forward, and possibly suspect defensively, something that will give Bell his opportunity.


MIDFIELDERS

21. Paul Moston (Charles City [27] WC32-)
Moston impressed as Charles City won the Minor League of The League, so much so that he has made his way into the national team, and will take the role of midfield distributor.

22. Alan Tiss (Welkay Lakeside [29] WC31-)
Impressed during WC31 after replacing Fr. Symeon in the passing role in midfield, but is more natural as the ball winner. Is even better in his preferred position.

23. Ben Kerr (Spacewill Rockets [24] WC32-)
Kerr is the second choice ball-winning midfielder, and will more than likely see a fair amount of the action, as Alan Tiss would slip easily into any other part of the midfield if need be.

24. Will Caine (Threlo Rovers [35] WC29-)
Now developed into the creative position in the midfield, Caine also has one of the best scoring rates ever for a Schiavone midfielder, and is now first choice set piece taker (although he'll have to fight Colin Chester for the ball.)

25. Isla Blige (Cartfield Athletic [20] WC32-)
Isla is the younger sister of Shiela Blige, and is seen as the next big thing in Schiavone football. Is being groomed to take Caine's place as creative midfielder at some point during the next couple of cups.

26. Alex Greene (Threlo Rovers [32] WC30-)
27. Graeme Cotten (Threlo Rovers [33] WC30-)
It does seem a bit pointless to have two wingers in a squad for a team who generally don't use them, but there's always two included in case a change of tactics is needed. These are the new pairing, Greene and Cotten. However, Cotten can play in either the passing or creative positions if the team are short, while Greene also doubles up as a pacy forward should anyhting happen to Shiela Blige.


FORWARDS

31. Jerry Berry (Welkay Lakeside [22] WC32-)
The second time the son of a former Sloths midfielder has been picked for the squad, Eric Berry's son has done better than Kenny Sanderson Jnr. Not that that was difficult. A finisher in the Colin Chester and Tony Tarmey mould, although possibly not quite as effective. Yet.

32. Juan Yates (Social Club de Sedgefield [27] WC32-)
Yates is a bulky forward, and will deputise in the strong forward position. Possibly has some of weight in the wrong areas, but will hopefully put that right before he gets too old. (We're being nice, but he is what many would term as "a fat bloke".)

33. Colin Chester (Social Club de Sedgefield [31] WC30-)
Chester had a lot to live up to when he took over Tony Tarmey's starting place in the starting line up. After a quiet start in the shadow of Jermaine Edwards and Seamus Bradley, he slowly showed his worth before really hitting the headlines with a star performance during WC31 qualifying. Will surely take his manager's place as Schiavonia's record goalscorer at some point.

34. Arran Di Chula (Atletico Unimo [35] Caps:10 Goals:5)
Was considered too similar to Seamus Bradley to get much of a run in the team, but with Bradley retired, Di Chula got a decent run in the team last cup and proved his worth enough to be given one last go this time out.

35. Shiela Blige (Cartfield Athletic [25] Caps:5 Goals:2)
The first female player on the Schiavone roster. She's a crafty little runner, standing at just four feet nine in height. Has amazing ball control, though not as quick as most running forwards in Schiavonia.


Retiring from the squad are...

Nicolai Ferreira (CB, Melston Rovers [36] WC29-32)


Showing just how young Schiavonia's squad for World Cup 32 was, our only retirement between cups this time around is Nicolai Ferreira. Ferreira's best performances were back during qualifying for World Cup 31, where he and Noel Fielding played as probably the best Schiavone central defence ever.



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


1. Howard


19. Bird 11. Freud 12. N.Fielding 17. E.Fielding
or 16. Bell

24. Caine 22. Tiss 21. Moston


33. Chester 34. Di Chula 35. S.Blige


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


1. Howard


19. Bird 11. Freud 12. N.Fielding 17. E Fielding
or 16. Bell

26. Greene 22. Tiss 24. Caine 27. Cotten


33. Chester 34. Di Chula


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


1. Howard


12. N.Fielding 11. Freud


19. Bird 22. Tiss 23. Kerr 17. E Fielding
or 16. Bell
21. Moston 24. Caine


33. Chester 34. Di Chula


...and finally, 3-5-2.


1. Howard


11. Freud 13. Tilda 12. N Fielding


26. Greene 24. Caine 22. Tiss 21. Moston 27. Cotten


33. Chester 34. Di Chula



The SFF made themselves some dashing kits for World Cup 31, and we doubt they'll be changing any time soon. Mainly becuause they're so happy with them.

A GUIDE TO SCHIAVONE PLAYING POSITIONS

Schiavone football teams generally play in a 4-3-3 formation, but the different positions are not always referred to in normal terms. The Goalkeeper (GK) and centre-backs (CB) are as normal, but the rest are not so clear cut.

The left-back (LB) and right-back (RB) are very important in attacking, and generally one attacks down the wing while the other one comes in and covers as a centre back.

Ball winner (MB) is a midfield position that does exactly what you think. They sit in midfield to protect the defence and win the ball back for the team.

A distributor (MD) is a player with very good passing skills, and can switch play or unlock a defence with one pass, but can keep it simple if the situation requires it.

The creator (MC) is a player who runs at defenders with the ball before either shooting or, more often, laying it off for someone else to have an effort on goal. They are good at attracting defenders and so making space for team mates.

The runner (FR) is a player who can run away from defenders and make chances for themselves with this advantage. Not many slow players can play this role, although Shiela Blige is an example of one.

The strength (FS) is what most people would call the big man up front.

Finally, the finisher (FF) is a player who has an uncanny knack of being in the right place at the right time to stick the ball into the goal with an uncanny regularity.

So there you have it. A guide to the Schiavone style of playing football. Hope that was helpful.

My opponent, if they RP first, can do whatever the hell they like. As long as it is in the Schiavone nature, and doesn't involve severely harming one of the major players.
Style modifier is +3.

(OOC: Cafundéu’s players are two years older than in WC 32)

CAFUNDÉU RELEASES THE OFFICIAL LIST OF PLAYERS FOR THE 33rd WORLD CUP

Team Style: +2

(Lasft, Cafundéu) – The CCFM(Confederação Cafundelense de Futebol Masculino, or Cafundéu’s Male Football Confederation) announced today the list of the twenty-three players that will play in the World Cup Qualifiers. The CCFM hopes that the team will be able to fight for a place in the World Cup, repeating the marvelous campaign of the last cup, when the team was qualified and could win a point in the World Cup.

Now the team is much more stronger and has a much better rank, so many people think that it’ll be easier than last time. But everyone in Cafundéu know that you can’t predict what will happen, and our campaign in the last competition was an example, when we defeated teams with much higher ranks. So the population knows that the qualification isn’t an easy job and that Cafundéu’s players will have to do their best for it.

Franz Braddock continued in the position of coach, and mantained most of the players of the last World Cup, including some older ones. The CCFM approved his list and is confident that he can make a good job in the National Team. Now they’ll wait for the draw to see if Cafundéu have chances to qualify again.


See the list of the 23 players:

Goalkeepers:

1-Júlio VARGAS (Team: Petardos S/A)
Height: 202cm - Weight: 90kg – Age: 36 years old
A very experienced goalkeeper, who played for many top clubs of Cafundéu and in some foreign clubs. He is very secure, doesn't make much fantastic saves, but doesn't make mistakes too, so he's a good option in important games. The opponent's supporters pressure doesn't affect him, he concentrates himself in the game and nothing can distract him. He is good in saving penalties and in the aerial balls, and has great influence and command. A natural option for the place of captain too. Is in the NT since 1998.
Rating: A - Team Relationship: A - Morale: B - Form: A
PLAYED WC 32

12-Sérgio Polagrossa "DUREPOX" (Team: SC Lasft)
Height: 200cm - Weight: 85kg – Age: 28 years old
Durepox was recently signed by a huge team of the country, and is impressing the media with good performances, and will probably play some games in the starting team. He likes to make fantastic saves, jumping a lot and posing to the cameras, and sometimes he makes some ugly mistakes. When he gets the ball he doesn't let it escapes him. He is very famous outside the field and likes to be noticed. Can go to a bigger club next year.
Rating: B - Team Relationship: A - Morale: A - Form: A
PLAYED WC 32

23-Olívio CÃO (Team: Cafundó do Juta)
Height: 205cm - Weight: 94kg – Age: 40 years old
Cão is one of the legends of Cafundó do Juta. After playing for more than twenty years in one of the most important teams of the country, he became famous. Is known as a very concentrated and professional goalkeeper. Many people say that he isn’t a great goalkeeper, but he doesn’t make mistakes and this can be very important in special games. Cão also has the confidence of his team mates, and his experience can help the other players. But he is reaching the end of his career, so his reflexes aren’t the same.
Rating: B - Team Relationship: A - Morale: B - Form: B

Right and Left Defenders:

2-Flávio VANDICK Coletti (Team: SC Lasft)
Height: 188cm - Weight: 80kg – Age: 26 years old
Vandick played in Faculdade de Medicina team until four years ago. Then, his talent was discovered and he's now in SC Lasft. He is a very calm and fast right-back, good in tacking and dribbling. He is also good in set pieces. But he hasn't much strength and stamina and he often leaves the game before the end. He is very intelligent and his team mates like him. Can be a good weapon for the team.
Rating: B - Team Relationship: A - Morale: A - Form: B
PLAYED WC 32

3-Ray KIRS (Team: Petardos S/A)
Height: 173cm - Weight: 70kg – Age: 29 years old
Ray Kirs is one of the most complete footballers of Cafundéu. He has great vision, passing and tackling, and his finishing and heading isn't bad. He lacks some speed and is extremely tactical, and his team mates respect him. He has a lot of confidence from the coach and from the supporters. He doesn't like to talk to the media and to the press and trains hard. His form seems perfect and his morale is good, although he doesn't seem happy because his brother was transfered to Abbade FF after having problems with the coach.
Rating: A - Team Relationship: B - Morale: B - Form: A
PLAYED WC 32

18-Tales Macedo Credo "AGRIÃO" (Team: A.F.F.)
Height: 182cm – Weight: 85kg – Age: 21 years old
Agrião is a versatile, player, who can play in both sides of the field, so he can substitute all the full-backs in the team. He runs a lot, and makes perfect passes. His tackling is good and he has even a good heading ability. He can’t dribble well, so he won’t attack very much, but is considered a good player, but many people think that he isn’t NT level. The coached choosed him instead of a team mate (Fuchs), so this situation isn’t very comfortable to him, as he likes his team mates.
Rating: C – Team Relationship: B – Morale: C – Form: B

22-Francisco Macedo Juarez "CAFÉZINHO" (Team: Cafundó do Juta)
Height: 165cm - Weight: 64kg – Age: 33 years old
Played as a starter in the National Team for many years, but now it's a sub. He won his nickname because he loves a good cup of coffee, and drinks before the games. His main ability is the speed, he is extremely fast, but not as in his first years in football. He isn't good at heading and finishing, although his passing is ok. He is very offensive and doesn't like to defend. His form is far from perfect, and his morale is low too.
Rating: B - Team Relationship: B - Morale: C - Form: C

Central Defenders:

4-João Chico Tripa de Boi "BECÃO" (Team: Ranca Toco)
Height: 190cm - Weight: 102kg – Age: 28 years
Becão plays with much will and using all his strength, so he is feared by the attackers. His tacking is awesome and his passing is good. But he is very slow and can't finish well, unless he uses his head to try to score(he can use his head well). He obeys the coach and is a good option for the place of captain(but Vargas will be the captain). Talks a lot in the media and is a hero in his team, although had some problems with Namarra, another defender of the team. He is considered the second strongest player in Cafundéu and one of the most determined too. After 2 years, many people think that he is better than in the last World Cup.

6-SÁVIO FERRARI Andrada (Team: Petardos S/A)
Height: 176cm - Weight: 76kg – Age: 26 years old
Sávio Ferrari is a solid defender, known for his regular performances. He isn't a special player, but his tackling and passing is good and he can even finish well. Sávio is a quiet person too. Nobody knows what he is thinking or feeling, and his personal life is unknown too. But he surely is a good option for the team. He was involved in a big transfer this year and went to Petardos S/A.

13-André Mané Branco "COCADA" (Team: Penders)
Height: 185cm – Weight: 89kg – Age: 18 years old
The best young player of the year, Cocada impressed the media and the coaches with an incredible form. After that, he won a place in the National Team, and can go to a new club soon. His passes and tackles are excellent, but his other abilities need improvement. He probably will have the chance to play some games, but not too many, as he is a young and unexperienced player.
Rating: C – Team Relationship: B – Morale: A – Form: A

20-WANTUIRSO Silveira da Alvorada (Team: Ranca Toco)
Height: 184cm - Weight: 90kg – Age: 31 years old
Wantuirso is very wise and gives advices to the younger players. He is good at heading and tacking. His passing isn't very good, so he shoot the ball to the attack very often, and misses many passes. He is in Ranca Toco, and will work hard to get a new contract with them. Sometimes he can be a little annoying, but he likes his team mates. But he doesn't control the pressure to play in the NT.

Defensive Midfielders:

5-Mukulaiê Bakarangobadah Zulaiêká "ANORMAL" (Team: SC Lasft)
Height: 210cm - Weight: 106kg – Age: 21 years old
A monster in the field, Anormal has a strange past. His father is a famous scientist, and his mother is unknown. Many sources say that Anormal is an experience made by his father, but this is only a theory. Anormal is young, but surely the best player of the team. Taller and heavier than any other player of the team, he has more abilities than anyone. Great physical strength, very fast and is good at everything(heading, shooting, passing, tacking). His only weakness is that he doesn't want to hurt his opponent, so he tries to get the ball in a gentle way, being dribbled sometimes. But everybody loves him and he'll surely play all the games.

8-Marcos Afonso PRIOTTO (Team: Central United)
Height: 168cm - Weight: 77kg – Age: 28 years old
Priotto is very famous. He change his team very often(once per year), but plays with the same form in all the teams that he plays. His style is a bit more defensive, but he can attack well. His passing is his main ability, while the others are balanced. The only club that he said that he'll never play is Petardos S/A, because of some problems that he had with the coach Caio Meback, while he was playing at Pernetas EC. He has some problems with his team mates and gets involved in a lot of confusions, being violent and impatient, but most of his team mates still think that he is a loyal person.

14-MANUEL PADARIA Gama Cabral (Team: Atlético Jutense)
Height: 180cm - Weight: 76kg – Age: 26 years old
Manuel Padaria is from a Portuguese family and came to Cafundéu to play football. After some years, he got his Cafundéu passport and now plays in the NT. A classic defensive midfielder, helps the defense taking many balls and creates some plays to the attack, but can't finish well, even with his head. But he can score some goals shooting from outside the area. His positioning is poor and he doesn't receive many passes. But his will to play and good relationship with supporters, staff and team mates make him a very good option.

Neutral Midfielders:

15-Carlos FALCUS (Team: Pernetas EC)
Height: 168cm – Weight: 65kg – Age: 23 years old
Falcus is a very solid and intelligent player, who can create some very good plays and goal chances. He is also a good free kick taker, and has good tactical knowledge. The coach likes him and he can play many games as a starter. His passes and dribbles are his strong point. His team isn’t one of the biggest in the country, but won respect due to his performances and goals, so the supporters count with him.
Rating: B – Team Relationship: A – Morale: C – Form: B

16-Georgious METIR (Team: Cafundó do Juta)
Height: 176cm – Weight: 81kg – Age: 24 years old
Player with indigenous origin, has technique and likes to predict the actions of his opponents, dribbling them. He scores lots of goals in the league, and many people think that he should be in the National Team in the last World Cup. Reporters say that he isn’t a friendly person, and he doesn’t talk very often, even with his team mates. When playing, he obeys all the coach’s orders.
Rating: B – Team Relationship: D – Morale: B – Form: A

Attacking Midfielders:

7-Ricardo Steppt KLIEK (Team: Dunboor FC)
Height: 166cm - Weight: 68kg – Age: 22 years old
Kliek is a young player that is discovering his style and starting to play very well. He is a very offensive midfielder, and doesn't defend. His passing, dribbling and finishing are OK, and his heading isn't so good. But he is very creative and can make good plays and create a lot of goal chances for his team mates. He can also get lost balls, that were almost leaving the field, reaching it with speed. He is also very funny and likes to make jokes and to provoke the opponents.

10-José Bebum BRAHMA (Team: Petardos S/A)
Height: 183cm - Weight: 81kg – Age: 25 years old
Brahma is one of the biggest prospects of the country, and now is in the NT. He is offensive and likes to go to the right side of the field to start to make his plays and to create some goal chances. He crosses the ball a lot and has good dribbling. Short passes are his weak point. He isn't good in taking free kick or penalties, but he is very good in taking corner kicks. He is good at heading too. He has some problems with alcohol and he gets drunk easily. His team mates doesn't like him very much and he doesn't have many friends.

15-João Arnaldo KIMBALL (Team: Atlético Jutense)
Height: 188cm - Weight: 92kg – Age: 27 years old
Kimball was considered only a average player until two years ago, when he was the main responsible to win the national league title with Atlético Jutense. With his fast plays, good dribbles and strong shots, he defeated many opponents and began to be a star in the national football. Now he has a chance in the National Team, and he is able and ready to show why he could change so much in a year, and how he can change the fate of the game. His defensive abilities aren’t very good, but the offensive abilities are very good, and he is on top form.

Attackers:

9-Ganz IJAK (Team: Petardos S/A)
Height: 182cm - Weight: 82kg – Age: 32 years old
Best goalscorer of the league and the most dangerous striker of Cafundéu, Ganz Ijak can score in many ways. He uses well his head, shoots well from any distance and can do some great plays. When he has a chance to score, he scores. He isn't very good to create plays or to pass or tackle, but his finishing and dribbling is great, and because of that he is one of the most respected footballers of Cafundéu. Ijak also is very calm and respect his opponents, and didn't receive many cards and didn't make fouls. His brother had some problems and lost his place in the starting eleven of the NT, but Ganz isn't sad with this situation. He also has a very good relationship with the coach Franz Braddock and with Júlio Vargas.

11-HEITOR Abbade (Team: A.F.F.)
Height: 178cm - Weight: 72kg - Age: 23 years old
Got a place in the first team of Cafundéu after the bad performances of Ernesto Ijak. He doesn't score the same amount of goals that Ganz Ijak scores, but he has a very good finishing too. His heading isn't accurate and his dribbling is far from perfect, but his passing is good. He likes to press the opponent defender and try to take the ball from him. He also can create some goal chances. When he is not playing he works in the CCFM judging the referees, and has a good future as a player. He also has a good relationship with the media, but not with the coach, that doesn't like his style.

19-Ernesto "Heren" IJAK (Team: Petardos S/A)
Height: 178cm - Weight: 76kg – Age: 28 years old
The brother of Ganz Ijak doesn't have all the ability of his brother, but is a very good striker too. He didn't score many goals, but when he is playing with his brother he likes to give all the goal chances to him. His finish is good and he has a good dribbling and heading, but he can't tackle the ball and doesn't pass to other players(only to his brother). Because of that his team mates don't like him very much. He isn't very happy because he is a bench player right now, but he still thinks that he can get a place in the starting eleven. Many people think that he is arrogant.

21-RENÁRIO de Arruda Santos (Team: Ranca Toco)
Height: 162cm – Weight: 71kg – Age: 30 years old
A legend who isn’t in good form and is unfit. Renário missed the last World Cup due to injury problems, and he isn’t fully recovered. His abilities aren’t the same, but he is still one of the most deadly strikers of Cafundéu. His chip shots are lethal and his positioning very good too. The only problem is his physical situation, but the coach said that he will be ready to play the competition.

Staff:

Coach: Franz BRADDOCK (Former Petardos S/A coach)
Height: 183cm - Weight: 92kg – Age: 60 years old
One of the best midfielders of Cafundéu's history, Franz Braddock was extremely motivated, determinated and tactical. And he continues with these abilities as a coach. After coaching many great teams and winning a lot of trophies, he was an unanimous choice to be the coach of the NT. So, he left Petardos S/A(that now is coached by Caio Meback) and started to build a team that suited his style to battle for the objectives of the country. His training is very tough and tiring, he wants to extract the best of his players, and some players don't like this. But he continues being the savior of the country and the only one that can give victories to the team.

WC 32’s COACH

Assistant Coach: RIVALDO SODRÉ
Height: 179cm - Weight: 86kg – Age: 50 years old
Sodré doesn’t have the confidence of the directors or of the players, but he is respected, as his knowledge about football is huge, and he can help the team very much creating good strategies for each game. He was never a coach, only an assistant in many teams, as SC Lasft and Central United. He is very happy to be now in the National Team, and will use all his abilities to make the team win their games.

Spy: PAI Oxossi de Guibar DINAH
Height: 158cm - Weight: 64kg – Age: 82 years old
Pai Dinah(or Pai Oxossi) is the spy of the team. He says that he can discover the most deeper secrets of the opponent talking with the opponent players and using his secret talents. He is a very strange person and many people say that he is crazy. But he does his work well, and most of the times he discover the secrets of the enemy.

Giovanni is nothing special. He is a normal physical trainer, and does well his job. The players have a good relationship with him and he has the confidence of the board. He was a boxing champion, but already retired. Has 8 children and 4 of them want to be boxing fighters, and the other 4 want to be their managers.

WC 32’s P.TRAINER

Entertainer: SERGINHO MALLANDRO (Former TV Gazeta)
Height: 175cm - Weight: 88kg - Date of Birth: ???(above 40 years old)
The players and the staff need to be relaxed to play all the games. So, Serginho Mallandro's job is to make jokes, play games and help to make everybody happy. Sometimes he can be a bit annoying with his phrases like "Glu-glu", or "Bilu-bilu tetéia" and other ones, and even the directors don't like him very much, but he will stay with the NT. He also works with the female NT.

Doctor: Dra. SILVANA CELESTE (Former Juta Hospital)
Height: 164cm - Weight: 52kg – Age: 36 years old
A very famous doctor in the sporting area, Silvana is ready for any problems. Is well paid and got this well deserved position. She has some problems with Serginho Mallandro(she hates his bad jokes) and the masseur Ulisses Carambola is at her command. Cafundéu can sleep safer with her.

The Directors:

Director of the NT: MR. Erasmo Carlos JOWENGUARD
Age: 79 years old - Time in the job: 14 years
Jowenguard's family is one of the founders of the CCFM. He was the president of the CCFM for 30 years, but health problems made him renounce. Now, without problems, he has the job of director of the National Teams(less important), but he still has great influence in the CCFM and in the CFFC, choosing the NT coach and changing some things that he shouldn't change(I won't give any details about it).
Rating: A - Influence: A - Morale: D - Confidence: A

President of the CCFM: Counsellor-Minister of Sports MR. Samuel MAKAS
Age: 59 years old - Time in the job: 3 years
The president of the CCFM Sabrina Arrojo died. An election was held to decide who would take her place. Miguel Jóia, manager of players, tried to get the place, but the counsellor-minister of sports won. The counsellor Makas is one of the most important members of Cafundéu's government. He isn't very flexible in the job, and his influence inside the CCFM, even being a counsellor, is low(Jowenguard controls the CCFM more than him), but he has the confidence of all the directors and is improving his qualities. He is very ambitious and wants more money at all costs. He was involved in corruption schemes involving clubs and players last year, but no proof was shown.

Landau Institute's selected players for the Baptism of Fire and World Cup 33:

Style: +1

Estresse Intenso is a very dangerous and difficult place to live. Its citizens have to support all the stress resultant of a society that is near to an anarchy. The country itself doesn't have a National Team, but there is one place that has, the only place that doesn't have the pressure of Estresse Intenso's way of life.

Many people from Estresse Intenso succumbed to the stress. Most of them became crazy and couldn't live in the country anymore. So, they went to
the Landau Institute, where the stress can be controlled and any craziness signs can be controlled by the many doctors that live there, employed by Doctor Rogério Landau.

All the players of Estresse Intenso's National Team come from the Landau Institute, and there they can train 12 hours per day, every day. So, they are more than ready to play such an important competition.

Goalkeepers:

1- Julien PRUNELLA: Perfectionist, Prunella is a serious man, who likes to see everything in the right place. When playing, he is a very fast goalkeeper who can make great jumps and has good reflexes.
Age: 23 years old
Years in the Institute: 12

12- Harold ZHEE ZHANG: Zhang needs many medicines to stay calm. He becomes angry easily, and the doctors have to control him everytime. When playing, he is a good goalkeeper, good in saving penalties and like to leave the goal to start plays.
Age: 32 years old
Years in the Institute: 25

23- Tomé Demétrius VIANA: Viana doesn't talk. After many years under stress, he decided to stop talking and now communicates using signals. In the field he isn't an excellent goalkeeper, only a backup for the team, as his hands aren't very strong.
Age: 30 years old
Years in the Institute: 2

Wing-Backs:

2- Sidney PINDARÉ: Pindaré loves music. He sings everytime his preferred music, and even when he have to talk, he talks singing. He plays singing and even sleeps singing. As a player, he plays in the right wing, using all his speed and technique to start plays for the team, but he is good at tackling too.
Age: 27 years old
Years in the Institute: 11

6- Diego FLORES: Flores fears practically everything. Animals, objects, people, he fears all of it. His main fear is his fear of thieves, thinking that he will be mugged everytime. When playing, he is fast and very intelligent, thinking before passing the ball. He even goes to the attack sometimes to try to score.
Age: 21 years old
Years in the Institute: 18

14- BERGUE: Bergue forgot everything that happened in his life before going to the Institute, even his age and name.

Age: who knows?
Years in the Institute: 13

4- Viriato MANGA: Manga is one of the few players of the squad that doesn't have any problem and doesn't need any medicines. He is very experienced and is a natural leader, very good in tackling and in protecting the ball. (CAPTAIN)
Age: 26 years old
Years in the Institute: 22

13- Roberto MARINHO: Marinho says that he can see the future. But his visions never happen (well, one or two happened, but it was only luck, I think), so nobody believes on him. In the defense he has more technique than te others, but his marking is poor.
Age: 17 years old
Years in the Institute: 3

20- Ângelo SURBINOV: Surbinov lies everytime, and he can't control this. When someone asks something to him, he has to lie. When he is playing, he likes to control the ball and marks well.

Defensive Midfielders:

5- Eurico SARDINHA: Sardinha is rally crazy. He says incomprehensible things all the time, shouting and acting like a cave man. Sometimes he talks normally, but still acts like a crazy person. He is a very violent player and good at long shots and passes.
Age: 27 years old
Years in the Institute: 15

8- Anton DUMITRACHE: If Dumitrache doesn't take his medicines, he will be delirious and see unreal things, objects moving and he won't move, shocked in his world, seeing the colours mixing and things moving. As a player, he has some technique and can help the team in making good goal chances.
Age: 18 years old
Years in the Institute: since birth

21- Bjorn ERIKSSON: Eriksson is too calm and lazy. He doesn't run in the field and even sleeps while playing sometimes. He likes to relax. When playing, she stays in only one place in the field, helping the team with his good passes.

Age: 25 years old
Years in the Institute: 1

Offensive Midfielders:

10- BOGDAN Nejmanovski: Another player that doesn't have any serious problem, Bogdan only need medicines because he has many health problems. But he is a key player, as he is very smart and can dribble very well, creating many good goal chances and even scoring lots of goals.
Age: 35 years old
Years in the Institute: 20

11- Vandison DOS ALPES: Dos Alpes likes to comment the game to his team mates and gives orders for them, becoming angry if they don't obey with him. He also fears the dark and crowded places. Playing, he is good a dribbling and good in taking corner kicks, being a very technical player.
Age: 28 years old
Years in the Institute: 18

15- Gregório ARAÚJO: Araújo loves a deathwatch. He thinks that he can speak with the dead and stays many hours in the cemetery. When playing, he controls the ball a lot and has a good passing ability, but doesn't score many goals.
Age: 20 years old
Years in the Institute: 4

18- Selênio CÉSAR NOBRE: César Nobre is hypochondriac, taking lots of medicines even when he doesn't need any.

Age: 21 years old
Years in the Institute: 20

Attackers:

7- Fernando PONTE PÊNSIL: Ponte Pênsil is a free kick expert, scoring easy goals from free kicks. He also is very good at heading and assisting his team mates, being one of the most respected players of the squad. But he has a serious insomnia, he can't sleep for six days, and after that he sleeps during 24 hours.
Age: 25 years old
Years in the Institute: 22

9- Carlos Alberto GABALÁN: Gabalán is the best player of the team and a goal maker. He doesn't need medicines and is completely sane, so he is the key player of the team and the main responsible for the good results of the squad.
Age: 24 years old
Years in the Institute: since birth

17- Cláudio MENDES: Mendes can't decide. He can't decide what he will eat, what shirt he'll use, and other things. He need to take his medicines to play well. As a supporting striker, Mendes is good at dribbling and makes many assists.
Age: 22 years old
Years in the Institute: 3

19- Nico LACERDA: Lacerda hates cities. When he has to play in a big city, he stays in the hotel during all the trip and only leaves to play the game. When playing, he is a very good striker, and can score many goals.
Age: 17 years old
Years in the Institute: 16

COACH: Doctor Vittorio Mendonça: Vittorio is the responsible for training the team and giving them the medicines that will make them forget their strange habits and play football like the other teams. He is a very good doctor and Landau trusts him.

HOLY EMPIRE FOOTBALL ASSOCIATION PRESS RELEASE

Following our nation's success in qualifying for WC32 - our first World Cup qualification since WC4 (ouch) - HEFA hereby releases its team sheet for WC 33.

But first, at the request of His Imperial Majesty the Basileus, a piece of media advice:

"Please refer to our glorious nation in press reports as 'The Holy Empire', not as 'Alasdair I Frosticus' (or worse, AIF) - the former is the name of the nation, the latter is the name of our ruler the Basileus. Informal use of the adjective 'Frostican' is, however, acceptable.
Signed, for the Basileus, by the Keeper of the Purple Inkwell."



The Squad

Frosty Football is attacking football. The Holy Empire will be playing a 3-5-2 formation with overlapping wingers, often leading to a 3-3-4 formation when in possession. Style +3

Coach: The legendary – and apparently ageless – Juan Tzimisces. As temper-prone and gambling-addicted as ever.

GK:
Michael Prodomoso (inspired, but occasionally overly adventurous, young keeper.

DEF:
Manuel Comneno (Old school defender from one of the Empire's most important families)
Juan Tzimisces Jr. (son of the coach, and sole survivor of the pre-WC 25 plague-ravaged squad)
Manuelo Tzetzes (grizzled old Chacan perhaps overly fond of dribbling the ball out of defence)

MID:
Gregoire Babouciso (Unusually, comes from a family of immigrants from the New Montreal States)
George Ouranuso (solid but unremarkable midfielder)
Vincente Choniates (dazzling technical skills, but questionable defensive skills)
Alfredo Botaniates (A Chacan like Tzetzes, Tzimisces Jr. and Choniates, but slightly less flamboyant on the ball)
Bardas Phocaso (right winger, and another from the old aristocracy)

FOR:
Andronicus Curcuaso (CAP – a quality forward, Curcuaso was the only professional footballer in Team xXx, and is the sole hangover from that porn star embarrassment)
Nicholas Pselluso (former Archregimancy monk who returned to secular life following an unspecified scandal believed to be of a sexual nature - and there aren't any women in the Archregimancy....)

Travel to the Holy Empire:
The Holy Empire, along with the Archregimancy, is one of two nations in the Dreamed Realm. Direct travel between your reality and the Realm is impossible, and must take place through a portal, constructed by Imperial oneirologists some 48 hours before kick-off, and demolished 24 hours after kickoff. For the first time since World Cup 7, fans from visiting teams are to be allowed unrestricted travel within the Holy Empire, subject to the time restrictions just described. Up to 10,000 travelling fans will be permitted into the nation for each match.

While the Holy Empire prides itself on its world benchmark civil liberties, violent behaviour by visiting fans will not be tolerated. Anyone engaging in what HEFA officials consider to be disruptive behaviour shall be immediately dreamed back to their home nation.

All home qualifiers shall take place at the 100,000 capacity Imperial Hippodrome, within the walls of the Imperial City of Alasdairopolis, adjacent to the Great Palace and the Imperial Basilica of the Holy Wisdom. The Imperial City is probably quite unlike anything you've encountered before - an ancient description from a wandering monk follows:

We went on to a city of indescribable beauty. Its walls were built of twelve courses, each of a different precious stone, and its gates were of gold and silver. Within the gates we found a golden pavement, golden houses, golden seats. The city was filled with a strange light and a sweet smell. At the edge of the town we came to a wonderful palace, and we entered a hall as broad as a stone's throw. From one end of it to the other stretched a table of porphyry round which many guests were reclining. A spiral staircase, situated at one end of the hall, led to an internal balcony. Two eunuchs, resplendent as lightning, appeared at this balcony, and indicated that we too were to join the guests at the table....

Note that any attempt to remove gems and precious metals from the Holy Empire will fail unless said items are an official gift; all such items removed unofficially will turn to base metal and glass once they leave the Dreamed Realm.


If my opponent RPs first, he may:
Do more or less whatever he wants within an appropriate RP context except attack, make war upon, or otherwise physically harm the Dreamed Realm.

Status of football in the Unified Capitalizt States
The “nations” Commerce Heights and Commerce Heights JSY entered in the World Cup represent two football associations in the Unified Capitalizt States (http://ns.goobergunch.net/wiki/index.php/Unified_Capitalizt_States), not actual separate nations. The former is known ICly as Capitalizt SLANI, the latter as 자스연 (Jasīʼyūn) or JSY. The two football associations field separate teams in sports events such as the World Cup, though their players are from the same nation. Their sports codes are COM and JSY, respectively.

—————

As the Unified Capitalizt States do not have any form of citizenship, and as certain members of the World Cup Committee have possibly been substantially bribed, the two associations are technically allowed to select any player that has not already played for a different national team. In practice, Capitalizt SLANI will choose players residing in the International City, Lontorika, or East Bedistan (the portion of Bedistan that borders the UCS); 자스연 (Jasīʼyūn) will generally restrict itself to the UCS and the International City. The associations have agreed not to use players that play for a club that is a member of the other association. The following nation codes are used in these rosters:

Code Nation
BDS Bedistan
ICN International City of Paripana
LTK Lontorika
UCS Unified Capitalizt States

http://www.thirdgeek.com/ns/worldcup/graphics/flags/33/COM/ Capitalizt SLANI Roster
After suffering the minor setback of losing almost their entire team to a plane crash near the end of World Cup 32 qualification, SLANI have built a new squad from the ground up for World Cup 33, coached by legendary striker Alejandro Bolúfero.

The Capitalizt SLANI board of executives has decided that the team’s uniforms will have twenty-five black dots on them in remembrance of the plane crash, and that in recognition of Bolúfero’s incredible achievements as a player over the last three cups, the number 4 will be permanently retired.

Bettia World Cup 33 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 (+5), utilising a highly attacking 2-5-3 / 2-3-5 formation.

Roleplaying

If RPing first, the FAB give our opponents permission
to RP / godmod pretty much anything they like...
just don't wear red, cos that's just taking the piss -
and here in the Blessed Realm, it's liable to get you arrested.

Nickname: The Aroras
First Kit: Green and gold quartered shirts, green shorts
Second Kit: Blue and white quartered shirts, blue shorts
National Stadium: Tiddles Park, Gabalfa (capacity 102,000 - approx 50,000 seated)For the first time in many years, all of Bettia's matches will be played at their largest stadium. Designed by reknowned architect Kenzo Violin, Tiddles Park is instantly recognisable by its prominent roof structure. Originally designed as a 81000-capacity all-seater stadium, the FAB took the decision to remove the lower tier of seats in favour of good old-fashioned terracing. The result... an unbelievably loud atmosphere that can intimidate all but the most hardy of opponents. Formerly known as Stadiwm Bettia, the stadium was renamed of Bettia's long-time arora mascot Tiddles.



Manager:
Stuart Abdul-RahimBettia's veteran manager and hero of their early days, Stuart Abdul-Rahim has announced that this World Cup will be his swan-song. Having seen his team climb steadily through the rankings and making his team an attacking force to be reckoned with, Abdul-Rahim will hope his boys send him out on a high.



Goalkeepers:

1. Mitchell Ellis - Akani Sands, age 29, 6 caps (captain)After spending many years on the sidelines as Safwan Sulaiman's understudy, Mitchell Ellis finally gets his chance to shine. Generally regarded as a safe pair of hands, his mid-season transfer to Akani Sands saw him win a FAB Cup winners medal and, as a result, his confidence has skyrocketed, no doubt helped by him being given the captain's armband.
2. Akram Dewar - Tiddles Park, age 22, 5 capsThe solid performances that this young Tiddles Park keeper put in during AOCAF 18 means that Dewar makes it into this World Cup squad. Quick and agile, although his lack of height can make him a bit iffy on crosses.



Defence:

3. Hartiyanto - Persubarnas, age 28, 43 capsA hard-tackling, reliable defender whose previous international experience will prove invaluable in this campaign, especially when it comes to partnering the relatively inexperienced defenders around him.
4. Said bin Said Ismail - Butetown Dragons, age 18, 5 capsSon of former Bettian international Said Ismail, this influential centre-back captained the Young'Uns during AOCAF 18, and a damn fine job he did too. Will he follow in his father's footsteps and prove to be a success?
5. Hisham Azmi - Sukatra Tigers, age 20, 5 capsYoung Hisham was something of a rock in the Tiger's stingy defence last season, and he'll definately be one for the future. A versatile young player who can also play in midfield, or even in goal if needed.



Midfield:

6. Barry Scott - Tiddles Park, age 27, 52 caps, 12 goals Reknowned for his highly vocal nature that has got him into trouble with opponents and referees alike, Barry Scott's pinpoint passing and set-piece prowess can turn a game around faster than you can yell "BANG! And the dirt is gone!"
7. Dewi Morris - Butetown Dragons, age 28, 27 caps
This barrel-chested warrior from high up in the hills of Gwlad Teg was something of an unsung hero in Bettia's last World Cup, winning more than his fair share of 50-50 challenges and barely putting a foot wrong. His post-season transfer to champions Butetown Dragons should see his game improve still further.
8. Frank Myfanwy - Fiilghud Town, age 20, 5 caps
A committed, firey character was a central figure in the Under-21s during AOCAF 18, and the experience he gained there should put him in good stead as he seeks to make a name for himself here. His long-throws have been instrumental in setting up many attacking chances and goals.
9. David Morgan - Akani Sands, age 22, 5 caps
Another graduate from the Under-21s, Morgan and Myfanwy did an excellent job of bossing the midfield. However, a slight injury to his knew during a warm-up game sees him lose out, and he'll be hoping to make the most of whatever opportunities come his way.



Wingers:

10. Adi Bandasera - Perumnasih, age 18, 5 caps, 1 goal
One of the revelations of the Bettian domestic scene, Bandasera and his team-mate Kurniawan repeatedly ripped club defences to shreds - his ruthless, relentless style will suit the Bettian game perfectly.
11. Eri Kurniawan - Perumnasih, age 26, 57 caps, 12 goals
A flying winger who has already made plenty of international defences suffer with his trickery and speed. Now that he's joined by his team-mates Adi Bandasera and the Busilanta brothers, expect to see him hit new peaks.
12. Jon Deverill - Butetown Dragons, age 19, 5 caps
A flying youngster who was instrumental in Butetown Dragons' total domination of the league. Was it not for the dream pairing of Kurniawan and Bandasera, he would be an automatic shoe-in for a first-team spot. However, his immense speed and skill makes him just as good as the other two, and at only 19 years old, he certanily has time on his side.



Forwards:

13. Peri Busilanta - Perumnasih, age 19, 5 caps, 4 goals
14. Andi Busilanta - Perumnasih, age 19, 5 caps, 2 goals
15. Budi Busilanta - Perumnasih, age 19, 5 caps, 2 goals
Unanimously regarded as THE shining lights of Bettian football, the Busilanta brothers are in fact identical triplets. The special, almost psychic bond these brothers share makes them especially dangerous, sometimes tearing defences apart to dramatic effect. Between them, they scored all but two of Bettia's goals in AOCAF 18, and it's fair to say they'll be in amoungst the goals again during this tournament. Their tremendous recent form has seen them catapaulted into the first team, but expect stiff competition from the other strikers in the squad.
16. Malik Abdul-Nur - Butetown Dragons, age 26, 30 caps, 2 goals
The reigning top scorer in Bettia's Apex League, Malik Abdul-Nur has really come into his own recently, and netted an incredible 46 goals in the Dragons' title run. Equally deadly and powerful with either foot.
17. Sonny Sabitha - Gabalfa Rovers, age 23, 35 caps, 15 goals
A recent attacking cornerstone for club and country, Sabitha first made a name for himself when making his international debut for the Under-21s at the absurdly young age of 14. Since then, he's made a name as a supreme goal-poacher, knocking goals in for Gabalfa Rovers almost for fun, and doing a darn fine job for the Aroras too.
18. Abel Abramson - Butetown Dragons, age 19, 2 caps, 1 goal
An exciting young talent to emerge from the Butetown squad, Abramson can be quite exhilerating to watch at times (unless you're a defender). A more than able replacement for any of the other first-teamers.

Northern Bettia World Cup 33 Squad

Style Modifier

We don't do defence - we trash defence.

Following in the Takilan footsteps of their master nation, Northern Bettia will be playing with as positive a style modifier as possible (+5), utilising a highly attacking 2-5-3 / 2-3-5 formation.

One thing that must be said about the Fire Ants is that are a right bunch of bloody cheats. Hacking, diving, feigning injury, all sorts of ref-conning activity - Northern Bettia have quickly turned dirty play into a fine art, so expect red cards aplenty on both sides.

And the less said about their loud, rowdy fans, the better....


Roleplaying

If RPing first, the FANB (Football Association of Northern Bettia)
give our opponents permission to RP / godmod pretty much anything they like,
especially red cards.



Nickname: The Fire Ants
First Kit: Amber shirts with a black sash, black shorts
Second Kit: Sky blue shirts with a dark blue sash, dark blue shorts
National Stadium: Sakura Park, Anyuna (capacity 75,000 - approx 35,000 seated)



Manager:
Iwan Oban
A shrewd, calculating character who instilled into his squad a unique style of Takilan-style attack blended with bending the rules at every opportunity, making the Fire Ants as difficult to play against as possible. However, it remains to be seen how these tactics will hold up against the world's best teams.


Goalkeepers:

1. Jon Ozeki - Heart of Anyuna, age 23 - 26 caps
After initial competition for a spot in the first team, Ozeki has more or less made the number one jersey his own, thanks mainly to his tall stature and dominant prescence in the penalty area.
2. Ryno Tashika - Sharluta Strike, age 26 - 5 caps
Although he has found himself on the sub's bench more often than not, Tashika is more than capable of meeting the challenge of international football.


Defence:

3. Eric Idasenai - Sharluta Strike, age 28 - 30 caps, 1 goal
At 6'11", Idasenai's height has been immensely valuable, both in defence and in attack where he has scored plenty of goals for his club. An obvious target-man at set-pieces.
4. Alex Yoiko - Heart of Anyuna, age 25 - 22 caps
Officially described as a 'tough-tackling full-back' - in other words, he's a thug. He's crippled many an unfortunate opposing striker who dared to get on his goal-side, but surprisingly has usually managed to escape the referees wrath - he seems to be an expert in connecting with the ball before connecting with his victim's leg.
5. Lt. Paul Hanahairo - First Battalion FC, age 28 - 17 caps
One of a number of part-time players from the Northern Bettian armed forces. Like Yoiko, Paul Hanahairo is also something of a 'tough tackler'. Unlike Yoiko, he's nowehere near as subtle when it comes to taking out the opposition. It has been said privately that although elbowing someone in the ribs is a desirable quality in the army, he hasn't quite fathomed out that it's not quite so acceptable on the pitch.


Midfield:

6. Dan Kyobu - Kazamusa Town, age 20 - 27 caps, 4 goals
A young midfield dynamo who is quite adept at both setting up goals from the centre or pushing forward and knocking a few goals in for himself, usually from free kicks. He's proving to be adept at baiting his opponents into saying or doing something they shouldn't, usually right in front of the match officials. His preferred method seems to be centred around questioning his opponent's sexuality, although this hasn't been officially confirmed or denied.
7. Dave Saotama - Raging Bulls Anyuna, age 27 - 22 caps
A mainstay of the Fire Ants' midfield, the squad's vice-captain has been a valuable stabilising influence on the rather more hot-tempered youngsters around him. However, he's not a shrinking violet in any sense - plenty of opponents have been on the wrong end of one of his almost legendary tackles, and not one of them has forgotten it.
8. Marcus Megumi - Heart of Anyuna, age 22 - 16 caps
An archetypal playmaker, Megumi's trademark is setting up quick counter-attacks from his usual position just in front of the back two. A bright prospect who seems likely to make a move abroad after this tournament.
9. Flt. Lt. Ben Sanae - BAF Agetegri, age 18 - 10 caps
A flyboy in every sense, this young flight lieutenant loves the ladies, and they love him. Flamboyant, skillful and pacy. He also won't think twice of flying straight down onto the ground - in other words, he's an expert in the time-honoured art of referee-deceiving.


Wingers:

10. Sqn. Ldr. Rai Koizumi - BAF Agetegri, age 27 - 30 caps
A wily, inspirational winger whose highly accurate crosses have dissected many back lines in the past, resulting in a great deal of goals for the Fire Ants.
11. Jon Sakasayou - Minini City, age 17 - 17 caps
An amazingly quick young winger whose sheer speed has made many teams home and abroad sit up and take notice. He's been officially timed at 10.5 seconds over 100 metres. A major asset on any squad.
12. Mark Noboshine - Takilans Anyuna, age 22 - 21 caps, 2 goals
An exceptionally skilled winger whose career has been hampered by injury of late. When fit, he's shown himself to be adept at cutting dangerously into the box, and he's not afraid to shoot whenever a half-chance presents itself.


Forwards:

13. Gen. Gwrlais Devanallt (captain) - First Battalion FC, age 30 - 30 caps, 31 goals
Northern Bettia's star striker, captain and de facto president of the entire nation, Devanallt's previous experience in the green and gold of Bettia's national squad has served the squad well. He has announced that he will retire after this World Cup in order to concentrate on running the country.
14. Ola Hiyashibara - Akani Sands (Bettia), age 19 - 30 caps, 15 goals
An exciting young striker whose skills have recently earned him a move to the Bettian Apex League. Quick and agile with a deadly right foot, Hiyashibara has already proven himself to be a top-class goalscorer.
15. Paul Iyopa - Heart of Anyuna, age 24 - 21 caps, 7 goals
A consistant performer who can turn the tricks on and off at the drop of a hat - in other words, sometimes his skill is truly a sight to behold, at other times all you need to do is breathe in his direction and he'll go down as though he's been poleaxed.
16. Trent Kuonji - Shiratori City, age 26 - 16 caps, 3 goals
An exceptionally strong centre-forward who can be very difficult to shake off the ball. However, his hot-headed temperament has led to him getting his fair share of yellow and red cards.
17. Jem Futsu-Futsu - Takilans Anyuna, age 26 - 10 caps
A useful attacker who can play in the centre or on either side, and an influential member of the squad.
18. Lt. Matt Shukuoka - First Battalion FC, age 24 - 10 caps, 1 goal
Another of the armed forces part-timers, and team-mate of Gwrlais Devanallt. Although he forms a very effective striking partnership with Devanallt for their club side, he has often been overlooked for international selections, a fact which pisses him off immensely.

From this point forward until further notice, the only set member of the Casaran National Team will be a two year old emperor penguin named Flippy, who will be wearing number 83, and miscellaneous others of no consequence to fill out the roster. All Casaran goals henceforth should be credited to the penguin, and if possible, he should also get credit for his own assists, take all spot kicks, and get credit for all saves as well. Thank you.

That's right, we're back once again to play our 3-1-2-1-3, drink ourselves stupid on cheap booze, get arrested for peeing in a mailbox, get bailed out, and pass out in a gutter in front of your police station.

Casaran Damian Hill to become coach nation in shock

After the MFA went crazy and had a robot coach Milchama to the second round of the World Cup. People felt a change was needed. Therefore Calvin Chintermantomantomantoman was gotten rid of, Thomas Gloyfeld became the new head of the MFA and a new coach was installed, Damian Hill. The Casaran son of acclaimed CFA director/coach Vivica Hill. Her resume is quite impressive. Anyway this means a pretty new squad for the Warriors with some players (most notably Finton) retiring.

Here it is:
Gk: GK: Halutz Dalton- Big kid. Known for stopping shot based on his frame alone. His actual goalkeeping abilities have been questioned but he did win the starting job. So that should put them to rest, for a while anyway. Somehow chosen over the Fletchers.
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: Chase Mergle- Very fast for a centerback and that allows him to cover a lot of ground in a very short time. His speed has helped the Mongolian Horses avoid relegation this year.
D: Martin Hansen- A lot like Casey Stockholm on the other side. The only difference being Stockholm is a little bit better on the ball and Hansen is a little bit better on the defensive side. Made a great partnership in friendly games.
M: Nicholai Marchakov- Athletic fast and good ball control. Looks like a younger Darian Flinters and much more like the first generation of Milchamian wings unlike Lonnen and Manin. Suprisingly got included in the squad.
M: Del Clufor- A little speedy center mid. Does not have the passing skills of Antoine Sanchez but his little runs thru the defense remind people of a mix between Johnny Rintell and Darian Flinters.
M:Barrett M. Lonnen- Destined to be the next great Milchamian player. How can we tell? He has the middle initial that he puts in his name that nobody knows what it stands for like Marc J. Floren. Can help the counter attack.
F: Marin Keffer- Was a starting midfielder for the Milchama B team at 15 but did not make last U21 squad because of a mistake by Patrice Thibault. This time a starter and he wants to show Thibault he made a bad mistake.
F: Kelvin Joseph- A natural scorer who after a very successful campaign last time off the bench became the official starter over Spot Nielson.
F: Avi Belmowitz- (Godmod) Lans seems to have some special plan for him as he is the least proven player on the squad. However, his talent seems amazing but he will be closely watched to see how he does.
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.
Subs:
Gk: Fletcher James- The first of the Fletcher's to get a first team shot internatinoally wants to prove how good he and they can be.
F: Tilar Flitty- Did great for the B team and now comes up to the A for the first time as the first sub. Is expected to make Joseph look better and win games off the bench like Bantin and Joseph before him.
M: Kenny Rintell- Johnny's son. An absolutely wonderful central midfielder who is probably better than his father. Will play on the Milchamian team for a long time. Is still really young and looking to get better.
D: Daig Mitchell- Hard tackling central defender who was known among his peers for hsi excess of cards. However this has been curbed considerably he still has a bit of temper. We hope he can keep it under control. Got the sub job to help himself with the temper.
Horse: Rovers Return- The starter for the past two AOCAFs comes to the first team. He will be ridden by Keffer if he ever comes on.

THE ARCHREGIMANCY BRINGS YOU

THE ARCHREGIMANCY WC 33 SQUAD

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

‘Fr.’ is short for ‘Father’. ‘Br.’ is short for ‘Brother’.


COACH
Fr. David the Water Drinker – the national team’s first ever Western Rite captain, known for spurning the heretical properties of Gatorade in favour of pure spring water, returns for his second stint as coach.


FOR
Fr. Silouan of the Seventy Caves - The all-time leading scorer in Archregimancy international football makes his welcome comeback. Surely the news of his return shall have the heathen nations shaking in their [football] boots?

Br. Innocent of Ariddia – Formerly Aew Oj, this recent convert and indigenous Ariddian was brought into the team as part of the recent international recruitment drive, and promptly moved to centre-forward. Little-known outside Ariddia and the Archregimancy, will Br. Innocent be this year’s surprise package?


MID
Fr. Petroniu the Token Maker – The sole monk of Romanian origin on the squad, the presence of this miniature icon engraver in the team is based solely on merit – Fr. Petroniu is clearly the best left winger in the Archregimancy. He’s also been a regular fixture of the recent anonymous squads. Anonymously, of course.

Br. Barsanuphius the Strong – One of two recruits from Bazalonia, this powerful central midfielder hopes to form a strong central midfield partnership with…

Br. John the Maker of Jaffles – For the last time, a ‘jaffle’ has nothing to do with an Australian toasted cheese sandwich. It’s a triangular icon support designed by Fr. John, made out of sustainably-sourced Huon Pine, that merely looks vaguely like a toasted cheese sandwich. Why doesn't anyone understand?

Br. Iosephus the Seeker After Relics – Native Wentlander famous in the Archregimancy for finding the Lesser Column of St. Symeon Stylites the Younger during WC32. Following a soul-scourging vigil in the desert, has now decided to turn out for the national side, though he now seems to be incapable of saying anything other than ‘yes’ or ‘that would be an ecumenical matter’.

DEF
Fr. Nicholas the Right-Minded – A monk whose unquestioning devotion to Orthodoxy has never been called into question, though some find it odd that – despite his name – he plays at left back.

Fr. Constantine the First Called [CAP] – Returning to the line-up for the first time two world cups, Fr. Constantine is a natural choice for captain and projects an almost imperial presence at the heart of defence.

Fr. Nicholas the Unmercenary – Re-joins his former central defence partner Fr. Constantine, and has again resolutely refused any form of payment for either monastic club or country, believing that playing at centreback for his country is its own reward. A fierce tackler who is often found confessing his fouls at the conclusion of the match.

Fr. Pancratius the Little Bird – Bow-legged right back whose slight disability seems to confuse the opposition, whom he often leaves for dead with his formidable dribbling skills. Rumoured to be a native of Cafendeu, though even if this were to be confirmed, has clearly lived in the Archregimancy for decades.

GOAL
Fr. Justinian the Thrice-Blessed – The Archregimancy’s first ever international goal keeper – and famous icon painter – is another making a welcome return.


SUBS –
If you need them, make them up. Feel free to be imaginative.


STYLE – All Archregimancy teams play an orthodox 4-4-2 (+0)

Squad Photo:
http://i14.photobucket.com/albums/a319/vakraas/33squad.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. The Holy Icon looks like:

Tips for footballing visitors to the Archregimancy:

1) Each home match is preceded by the complete Divine Liturgy of St. John Chrysostom. 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) Formerly, the Archregimancy made a point of being resentful over being forced to permit atheists, communists, freemasons, assorted heretics and foul excelites into the Archregimancy for home qualifiers. Since the recent change in leadership in the Monastic Football Association, however, the MFA has made a point of welcoming all of the above – though largely in the hope that might just possibly be open to conversion through a slightly more conciliatory approach. Not that the MFA approves of the above, they’re just more subtle about 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.

Druida wishes to inform the WCC and all participating nations that Druidans are not named, but numbered. However, as all Druidan players are historically male, all numbers must be positive odd integers (whole numbers), usually of between five and nine digits in length.

Coocoostan "Fighting Ibix"
http://spaam.mrdrake.net/flags/coocoostan.png

Formation: 4-4-2
Style Modifier: +1

Starting 11

GK: Karim Ishmail, Aubrey FC
One of two players in the starting 11 who play for a team that is highly questionable, because AFC is looking to head down going into the final weekend, he will likely be moved to free the team from his salary in the First Division. Most competitive position on the side, with Ruslan Kolinko pushing him.

LB: Nikolay Zevlakov, Spades FC
A solid defender, one of the reasons Spades excelled in their first year.

LCB:Maksim Nikiforov, Captain, Dynamo FC
Nikiforov's skill level has begun to sink, as his career is likely to end early, but he is still a well-liked footballer around the league and has excellent leadership skills. Is certain to get into coaching after retirement.

RCB:Mikhail Kaladze, Anadahl United
Kaladze impressed in a breakout season with champions Anadahl United and is a young player with a long career with the Ibix side still to come. The olny ethincally Coocoo starter.

RB: Andrei Chyromyrdin, Ashamkabad Spartak
Chryomyrdin is the only starter taken from a First Division side, not only because the First Div season is ongoing, but because he's not staying there for long anyhow.

LM: Fedor Malevich, Anadahl United
Malevich had a relatively quiet season, as United didn't like to use the wings often. Still, he was good with the ball when he did get it and since the national side is planning on using the whole pitch, he should get a few more touches.

LCM: Roman Titov, Rapid Ulgava
Titov has above-average skills, but besides the two strikers, is the best runner in the league, making quick decisions and effortlessly bypass defenders.

RCM:: Vladimir Zyuzin, Anadahl United
Zyuzin didn't score very often this year, but set up teammates on a regular basis and is keen to create space for another man and put the ball into it. A crucial player.

RM: Timofei Prodhunov, Panjuhr Knights
Prodhunov was another player teams in the CSF Premiership didn't like to see, as he's very streaky and if you're on the wrong end, victory becomes less likely.

LF: Frankie Obispo, Tenkos Panjuhr
Tenkos' money man, Obispo is a flashy player, who makes more money off the field than on, which considering his 15 million gropek salary, says a lot. He's prone to make good moves and draw cards, but he is alienated from teammates, as his entourage is far more important to him.

RF: Sergei Petrov, Anadahl United
Leading scorer,led his team to a championship even without the captain's armband. Petrov doesn't make many mistakes in the box and that only improves each time. Humble to a fault, but isn't hesistant to call out lazy or selfish teammates.

Starter Players:
Coach Charles DuPont is coaching the Sel Appa National Team for the fourth straight attempt for the World Cup. He brought the Turtles into the international football world and delivered a top non-qualifier spot after only three attempts. Always optimistic, DuPont strongly believes Sel Appa will advance to the World Cup Proper for the first time.

GK Vasily Kashchenko is renowned throughout Sel Appa for his abilities in the net. He expects his mastery in the net to show during these qualifiers. He expects to keep the number of goals conceded in this tournament as quite low.

DF Kash Vasou is a rookie and little is known about him in major games. He was recruited because of his remarkable back-pitch abilities and ability to coordinate well with the goalkeeper. He was often said to be a second goalkeeper.

DF Bernard Apple is known for his coming "out of nowhere" and sending the ball far down the pitch with just a kick.

DF Jimmy Peech is known in Sel Appa as "The Wall" for his large size that allows him to block balls. He is a very important part of every defensive wall.

MF Jacques Latortue is well-known in Sel Appa for enabling swift connections between defense and strikers. It was once said that "the ball was heading back upfield before he even got it".

MF Colin Patette is a master midfielder and probably Sel Appa's best. He can work in almost any situation and ensures that the ball is always in front of him. He acted as captain during Estevez's suspension during WC32 and delivered a 7-2 victory over Algal States. Many see him as a possible replacement for Estevez, should he retire.

MF Arthur Mercator IV has a long football lineage going back to his great-grandfather Arthurt "Art" Mercator I. All have been excellent well-known players who have amazed many. Arthur's son, Arthur Mercator V, is also considering a professional football career.

FW Alan Dubrov is one of Sel Appa's youngest players and is expected to be around for some time. He is considered one of Sel Appa's best footballers and is expected to put on a good show.

FW George Bedding saw his first international match after replacing injured forward Alan Dubrov in the match against Tocapa. However, he received a yellow card after only 15 minutes in game. Bedding helped Sel Appa defeat Algal States 7-2 in WC32 during the suspensions of many top players.

FW Miquelinho, at 17 is the youngest player on the team. He is said to be very good at most shots and can score from almost any situation, like Estevez. Many call him "lil Estevez" due to his similar abililties.

FW Estevez is widely regarded as Sel Appa's best footballer and has made over 100 goals in his career. He is well-known for being able to make virtually every shot, from corner kicks to free kicks to penalty kicks. He plans to show off much of his skills and is fairly certain Sel Appa will make the Knouckout Rounds. He is the team's captain and does this job well.

FW Alex Nart is Estevez's attacking partner and the two are often seen charging down the pitch gracefully and often scoring a goal. Many regard him as a co- or vice-captain to Estevez.

Coaching:
Head Manager: Pavel Andreev sacked
Co-Manager: Janne Aalto
Co-Manager: Ivan Benelli

This will be probably the youngest and most inexperienced team that Squornshelous has fielded since World Cup 6. No player has been on the roster for more than two cups, and only a few have any international appearances. Jaromil Ctibor and Arman Latvala are the only returning starter, and the oldest player on the roster is goalkeeper Ensio Varg, at 29. With new starters all around, the team will see quite a bit of instability until a definite lineup can be decided on. Pavel Andreev started qualifying as the manager, but was sacked after five matches due to insufficient scoring. Janne Aalto and Ivan Benelli have jointly taken control of the team.

Squornshelous will play in a 3-2-3-2 formation

COACHING STAFF:

[ -- ] Callum Banda [ - Head Coach- ]
Sensational Striker averaging over a goal per game in the U21's remarkable Runner-Up performances in U21 WC3. First Appeared for the National team in World Cup 13 and scored the Jungle Cats first ever goal in Inter-NationStatal Competition in the 2-1 over Compound Interest. Banda set a Vilitan record by scoring 10 times during World Cup 19 Qualifying, includding his 50th career goal, both in all international competitions, and his 50th Senior-National tally with the equalizer against Tadjikistan. Banda capped off a sensational season by winning his first Vilitan Most Valuable Player award. Banda netted his 196th career Domestic goal for Marine Coast United as he helped return his long-time club to the top of the Stellar Division in Season 15. In Season 16, Banda netted his 200th career goal for Marine Coast United, then shocked the world by announcing he would be leaving the club he had played for his entire career, midway through Season 16. Banda was offerred the job of saving Arcticala Inlet from the threat of relegation, not only as a Striker, but also, as team manager. Banda accepted the job, and not only fired the goals that kept Arcticala Inlet safe, but coached the club to victory in the Vilitan Cup for the 5th time in club history. Banda, the All-Time top Goalscorer in Vilita, is believed to have around 100 International goals, though an exact number has not been released by the Vilitan Football Association.

[ -- ] Jimmy Kater [ - Assistant Coach- ]
Jimmy Kater took over the starting position on the National Team under the intense spotlight of the World Cup 17 Finals in Vilita. Kater has remained first choice keeper since then, despite a Quarter Final exit to Liverpool England. After leading the Vilita Under-21's to the Under-21 World Cup 7 Championship, Kater left a deflating Tivali City to join up-and-comers Arcticala Inlet, who he led to the top half of the Stellar Division tables. Kater earned a pair of consecutive Vilitan Cup titles with Arcticala Inlet, before returning to Strike FC ater the departure of Bryan 'Pop' Duiker. Kater has continued in his role at Strike FC, being the backbone of a revitalized franchise netting consecutive Vilitan Stellar Division titles for the first time. Kater took the role of Assistant Coach to Callum Banda for the Vilitan National Team during World Cup xXxI as his first recognized coaching position, by personal request of Banda.

GOALKEEPERS:

[ 95 ] Jawz Oaker [ - Inland Peaks FC - ]
------- GK ( AGE: 24 GOALS::SR: U21: REG: )
Jawz Oaker is the son of Colonial Sile and Oaker national midfielder Arthin Oaker, who moved to Vilita early in his career after his impressive performances for Oaker in past World Cups. Jawz was called up to the Vilita Under 21 squad as Oaker did not participate in the Under-21's, qualifying through his residency and his Mother, a Vilitan. The young keeper spent most of Season 15 on loan to Mavaloiao, before being recruited by Doug Freech's Lopinka side, Declasse champions looking for a starting keeper for their return campain in the Stellar Division. However, hometown Makosile's vast improvements in Season 16 saw the youngster quick to return home to bask in the spotlight with one of Vilita's rising new powers. Despite earning the Goalkeeper of the year award, Oaker's team was not able to compete and spent more time at the bottom of the table then the top, prompting the young keeper to depart once again, this time to Champions League bound inland Peaks FC.

[ 91 ] Jimmy Jaded [ - Arcticala Inlet - ]
------- GK ( AGE: 19 GOALS::SR: U21: REG: )
Jimmy Jaded became one of the youngest players in Vilitan history to receive a professional contract when his Turoki Tide were invited to the Vilitan Declasse in Season 18. Jaded was the only keeper left at the small Turoki club after senior keeper Mital Siegalafel retired at the age of 47 due to injury and fatigue. The Tide will be looking to bring in some experienced cover for Jaded during the season, but the youngster impressed former Goalkeeper Bryan 'Pop' Duiker enough to become the youngest player ever called into the Vilitan Under 21 squad, Duiker asking Jaded to cover as backup for Jawz Oaker in Under 21 World Cup 18. The potential of Jimmy Jaded was quickly spotted, and the youngster made a cross-town switch to the Stellar Division to join Turoki United for Season 21. Jaded could not break into the first team, however, and the youngster who spent the season on loan would transfer elswhere in hopes of first team football. He found just that in Arcticala Inlet, who led the Stellar Division until the very end of the season, coming home third in Season 24.


DEFENDERS:

[ 4 ] Vite Makose [ - Strike FC - ]
------- D C ( AGE: 26 GOALS::SR: U21: REG: )
Born to a Half-Vilitan, Half-Druidan uprising, Vite Makose grew up in Port Scadock, Druida and was trained into a budding young Central Defender at the well known Vilitan Exiles club. Word of the youngsters skill quickly spread to Vilita, but many top teams were wary of how much talent a half-druidan could actually possess. Finally, struggling decalsse side Morata Valley made the move and signed Makose to a one season contract. The move proved more than effective as Makose lifted Morata Valley to third in the table on the way to earning the Declasse player of the season award. Unfortunately for Morata Valley, the lure of the Stellar Division was too much as Makose made the switch to heavy spending Turorian Champions Cednia Beach AFC. Makose proved his first season was no fluke after he was shortlisted for the honors of Defender of the Season. Having bit off more than they could chew, Cednia quickly cashed in on Makose who made the switch to seasonal contenders Arcticala Inlet, and his top defensive performances helped Inlet get the final boost they needed to win their first ever Stellar Division title in Season 19. Makose would move to Yeaddin Owls in Season 21 and spend 4 seasons there, before moving to Strike FC and winning the Stellar Division and Vilitan Cup in his first season with the club.

[ 8 ] Ricata Tivalan [ - Siji~e Xkora (Rej) - ]
------- D C ( AGE: 25 GOALS::SR: U21: REG: )
Ricata Tivalan became the first Vilitan defender to sign for a club side in Karela-laden Rejistania when he signed for Siji~e Xkora. The 18 year old was invited to the Jungle Kitties side for his first taste of international play in Under 21 World Cup 15.

[ 62 ] Rayford Watson [ - Yeaddin Owls AFC - ]
------- D RLC ( AGE: 23 GOALS::SR: U21: REG: )


[ 6 ] Ricky Ezis [ - Yeaddin Owls AFC - ]
------- D RC ( AGE: 37 GOALS::SR: 4 U21: 1 REG: 1 )
Ricky Ezis is one of the most exciting prospects in all of Vilita, being molded in the exact form of the most capped Vilitan player in history, Enzo Ahat. The Strike FC defender plays alongside former Vilitan Nationals Danilo Liguori and David Leacock in the Stellar Division and frequently outshines his more experienced teammates. His performances have consistently earned him selection to the National team in favor of this duo, and Arcticala Inlet's Emarka Laniora. Ricky transferrd to Yeaddin Owls in Season 14 and helped lead them to the Stellar Division Championship. Ezis would be one of the most recognizable defenders in Vilitan history, spending 9 memorable seasons with the Yeaddin Owls earning accolaides from around the world, before moving to Kiiarana City at the age of 36, furthering his career in the Stellar Division before moving to Strike.

[ 61 ] Willie Fenn [ - Yeaddin Owls AFC - ]
------- D RLC ( AGE: 20 GOALS::SR: U21: REG: )
Willie Fenn took a big step towards becoming the most famous Yutzie defender in history after a two-step switch from Yutzie Sorma to megoliths Marine Coast United in Season 22. The time in the spotlight with Marine Coast was short lived though, as Fenn left the struggling Crosaibi club for Arcticala Inlet a season later, going on to finish 5th in the Stellar Division, while Marine Coast United would be relegated for the first time. Despite being a fan favorite at Arcticala, money talks and Fenn made a move to Yeaddin Owls AFC to replace the departing Vite Makose in the Owls backline.

[ 66 ] Viliiama Kikarai [ - Yeaddin Owls AFC - ]
------- D RLC ( AGE: 16 GOALS::SR: U21: REG: )


DEFENSIVE MID:

[ 39 ] Derek Valkanis [ - Strike FC - ]
------- DM C ( AGE: 20 GOALS::SR: U21: REG: )
Raised in the Morata Valley academy, Valkanis made a surprise switch to rivals Eastal Lunar prior to Season 22, But signalled his intention to fight for the position of Vilita's Defensive Midfielder in their return to the World Cup Finals in World Cup 31 by joining high flying Strike FC in Season 24.

[ 38 ] Andronik Taimazov [ - Morata Valley - ]
------- GK/D/DM ( AGE: 22 GOALS::SR: U21: REG: )
Young Morata Valley phenom Andonik Taimazov quickly gained a reputation in the Declasse Division after being called to step in as Goalkeeper mid-match and pitching a perfect shutout performance as Morata Valley marched towards the Stellar Division. Taimazov's multi-skilled background has served him well on the domestic level, but his ability as a powerful defensive midfielder earned him his first international call at the hands of Bryan 'Pop' Duiker and the Under 21 World Cup 18.

MIDFIELDERS:

[ 21 ] Jonjo Hulyer [ - Yeaddin Owls AFC - ]
------- M LC ( AGE: 27 GOALS::SR: 4 U21: 4 REG: 0 )
Jonjo Hulyer is one of the most exciting prospects to come out of the Marine Coast academy in many seasons. He is expected to challenge for a place in the Marine Coast Lineup at just 16 years of age, Preferring to attack down the middle or on the left flank. Hulyer quickly broke into the Marine Coast lineup but failed to show the Inaki Soler like qualities that many had expected out of him. After a few seasons of mediocracy, Marine Coast finally got the results expected of them on the way to the Vilitan Cup in season 19. Unfortunately, Marine Coast could not put the results together in the league, and Hulyer finally made his move away from Crosaibi to pursue a career at Arcticala Inlet. The star midfielder would record 15 goals for the Inlet, earning a transfer to the Yeaddin Owls during season 23.

[ 74 ] Esorijan Marelja [ - Strike FC - ]
------- AM RL ( AGE: 23 GOALS::SR: U21: REG: )
After coming throught the ranks at the Morata Valley Youth academy, Marelja was a key player for the Valley in Season 17 and earned a post-season transfer to storied Stellar Division club Strike FC. In his first season at Strike, 17 year old Marelja started nearly every match and tallied 8 goals from the wing, helping Strike to the Stellar Division title. Dishing out the single largest transfer fee since Riccardo Appolloni's transfer to Inland Peaks in Season 16, 19 year old Vilitan wing phenom Esorijan Marelja made the switch to inconsistent Jlinal Cove FC with a promise of being the centerpiece in which the squad would be molded for time to come. Strike, however, needed cover for the departing Antonis Siazzu, and re-acquired Marelja after he had spent just one season at Jilinal Cove.

[ 52 ] Thierry Columbo [ - Turoki Isle - ]
------- M LC ( AGE: 30 GOALS::SR: 2 U21: 3 REG: 2 )
Columbo left Lonngeylin Coast in search of first team action with Declasse side Mavaloiao FC. Columbo was an instant hit at the club, and helped lead them to the Declasse Division title and a place in the Stellar Division starting in Season 14. Columbo became a hot commodity after performances for new club Makosile, and signed with Strike FC for Season 17. After a pair of mediocre seasons with Strike, head coach Santo Kecker decided it was time to bring in some new talent with the clubs earnings from their position atop the Stellar Division in season 18. Midfield Star Antonis Siazzu took Columbo's role at Strike, eventually forcing the midfielder to move on and sign a deal with Turoki Isle midway through season 19.

[ 14 ] Iñaki Soler [ - Strike FC - ]
------- AM RLC ( AGE: 34 GOALS::SR: 17 U21: 9 REG: 1 )
Inaki Soler may be the greatest Vilitan talent since Santo Kecker graced the Vilitan history books with the first ever game-winning Vilitan goal against Compound Interest in World Cup 13 Qualifying. Despite a lack of goals so far in his senior career, a high profile-record transfer to the ever-improving Yeaddin Owls AFC was sure to do nothing but improve his chances of keeping his place in the Vilita side. With Helmut Vilkaus announcing an emphasis on Wings in the coming years, many expect Soler to breakthrough and take his place as the first-choice Vilitan midfielder. However, Soler left the Owls with friend Antonis Siazzu during the Season 12 Exodus to train independantly and focus on international play. After starting the first half of Season 13 with Alikki-Corra, Soler returned to Yeaddin Owls and sparked a resurretion that saw the Owls catch and pass Strike FC to earn their 10th Stellar Division title. But Once again, Soler showed an uncanny unpredictability, by ditching newly acquired friend Antonis Siazzu, and the Yeaddin faithful, after they failed to secure the championship in Season 15. Soler was talked into joining Inland Peaks FC by former Yeaddin teammate Riccardo Appolloni, and as his contract ran out with Yeaddin, Soler once again refused to resign and walked into a new and questionable chapter in his very fascinating domestic career. After two seasons at Inland Peaks, Soler was recruited back to the club where he got his start, Strike FC, by Vilitan legend Santo Kecker and the big checkbook of one of the top teams in the world.

[ 17 ] Tika Massa [ - Strike FC - ]
------- F C ( AGE: 25 GOALS::SR: 3 U21: 9 REG: 3 )
Tika Massa was thrust into the Vilitan Spotlight after netting on his debut performance in the Jurassic Invitational Tournament after coming on as a sub. Massa's late goal sent Vilita into the Semi Finals of the inagural Jurassic competition. Massa's performances earned him a transfer to the admitedly more high profile club of Eastal Lunar, from Makosile where he trained as a youth. Massa was an instant hit at Eastal lunar netting 7 times in 18 games and helping them to the Season 15 Vilitan Cup title. Massa' impressive performances for Eastal Lunar earned him a transfer to Marine Coast United where he netted a career high 8 goals in Season 17. With Marine Coast's form slipping, and Cednia Beach's stock rising, the Season 17 champions tabled a bid for the Vilitan Under 21 International and Massa made his first appearances for the Turorian Club during the 6th NS Champions League. After netting 6 times in 36 appearances for Cednia Beach, Massa made his second consecutive move to the Stellar Division Champions, making the high profile switch to Strike FC in Season 19. It was like deja vu for Strike however, when they acquired Grenville Marai from Cednia Beach, allowing Massa to be offloaded to Inland Peaks FC, but would return once again to Strike a season later after the departure of Ippolit Adjei

[ 15 ] Kris Wrice [ - Marine Coast United - ]
------- F C ( AGE: 25 GOALS::SR: 0 U21: 4 REG: 1 )
Wrice made 10 appearances for Inland Peaks in Season 15, and his 5 goals helped propel the team to the top 5 in the table at the halfway point. The young striker's potential did not go unnoticed, and Turoki Isle opened up their pockets to make an offer the smaller Inlands club could not refuse, bringing the Under-21 International to Turoki Isle. Wrice would spend two seasons at Turoki Isle, netting 21 goals for the club before making a high-profile transfer to Marine Coast United during Season 17.

[ 48 ] Grenville Marai [ - Strike FC - ]
------- F C ( AGE: 25 GOALS::SR: U21: REG: )


[ 44 ] Bevan Holness [ - Kiiarana - ]
------- F C ( AGE: 23 GOALS::SR: U21: REG: )
Bevan Holness was handed a senior contract to partner Spruitlands Chico Provoost after graduating from the Mavaloiao academy following Season 17. After Mavaloiao's dissapointing relegation from the league system, however, the club had no choice but to entertain offers for the budding striker, eventually seeing him join up with Makosile in the Stellar Division. Holness spent two seasons with Makosile before making the move to Simeone Di Bradini's Kiiarana City in Season 23.

[ 43 ] Kristofer Kilpter [ - Yeaddin Owls AFC - ]
------- F C ( AGE: 16 GOALS::SR: U21: REG: )
After shining in Vilita & Turori's magnificent Atlantian Oceania Regional championships, speculation arose as to whether Kristofer Kilpter would opt to play for historical powerhouses Vilita or the team of the future, Turori. However, Kilpters hand was influenced by Turorian head coach Jualiar Vumaou who opted to field Cocoabo's instead of Citizens in the World Cup xXxI Qualifying and Finals, leaving Kilpter no other choice but to accept the Vilitan invitation if he wanted to compete in competitive World Cup action during the time of the 31st World Cup.

A press release from the AOS

The AOS finally releases the rosters for the national team that will take part into the World Cup qualifiers. Everyone is new, even the coach. Jean-Alan Bellemort decided to step down as the manager of the national team after he failed badly. His replacer is Jérôme Desaulniers, manager of Île-Royale PFC (http://ns.goobergunch.net/wiki/index.php/%C3%8Ele-Royale_PFC) who have champions of the Première Ligue numerous times since he took over.

The GNUs of HURD

The GNUs of HURD are a robotic team since for the HURDists it appeared more easy to find a robotic solution which is good enough to defeat the World champion in the time of half a year than some HURDist athletes.

The robots are Nassi-Shneidermann class robots in kid's size and they are programmed by a rather big community around them. The design and programming is still beta. Tyler or Zuse might even attempt to patch players during the match. The formation is a 5-4-1. The robotic goalkeeper is nicknamed lynx, other players were nicknamed, but the nicknames did not stick.

Project leader: Tytso Tyler

AI developer: Torvalds Zuse

Equipment manager: Deborah Faure

BTW: a typical HURDist fan-chant is: "Fee! fie! foe! FOO!"

The Boyars Back IN ACTION!!!

After a long hiatus, the Valerian Boyars are ready to get back into the action that is the World Cup. Magnus Valerius has gotten caught up in a war against Iansisle and her allies, and not to mention another one of those electromagnetic storms that seem to hit the region often had knocked out communications that are sent and received outside the Pacific Ocean.

But, folks, a lot has changed in the Valerian national team. Nearly all of the old players have retired their numbers, making room for some young guns in the team. The old star player of the Boyars, George Illyanich, the "Tower of Power", is now coach for the national team. Mongke Urt-Urumqi, who was a capable midfielder, has shown some talent for coaching and is now the Assistant Coach and trainer for the team.

Karl von Hohenstauffen, a man from a family with a history of football, was young when he signed up for the team a while back, but now he is matured and is the star of the Boyars with a whole cast of capable young players.

Their style has been ranked as a +3 by all Valerian football officials, combining a lot of offense, just what George Illyanich is used to. They will be playing in a 4-2-4 formation, which is a departure from their old 4-3-3 style.
