The Grumpy Old Fogeys present
The WORLD CUP 34 roster
thread

Most of you know what a standard roster thread looks like, but here's a quick reminder. This is where you post the names of your players, along with any relevent information you feel like sharing (player numbers, ages, gender, particularities; stadia in your country.).

You can also indicate a style modifier, between -3 and +3. -3 means
your team focuses on defence, and attacks very little; +3 means the opposite. By default, if you don't choose a style modifier, your modifier will be 0 (balanced).

You can also indicate the following - and indeed we'd all be grateful if you
did:

My opponent, if they RP first, may do the following:
Choose my goalscorers Y/N
Godmod Scoring Events Y/N
RP injuries to my players Y/N
Godmod injuries to my players Y/N
Hand out Yellow cards to my players Y/N
Hand out Red cards to my players Y/N
Godmod Other Events Y/N


That's for the basics. Now, remember, we told you this World Cup would be a little different. We said there would be encouragement for further developing RPs, and you can use the roster thread to show your interest in RPs that will have you interact with other participating nations. Here's how.

We propose four RP "themes" / aids. Use of, or participation in, these is purely optional. Simply consider them helpful suggestions to enrich your World Cup 34 RP opportunities should you choose to use.


1) Background detail
Some nations do this already, but we encourage you to use this thread to provide the most detailed setting possible for your nation, for the benefit of visiting teams:

* list of stadia (or single stadium) you will be using, with information on each - including basic or detailed information on the city or town each stadium is located in.
You can use this post (http://forums.jolt.co.uk/showpost.php?p=12404053&postcount=3) for inspiration if you want.

* What is specific or unique about your country? I.e., peculiar architecture, unusual way of life, particular laws, an unusual way of greeting people, the food, the type of accomodation provided for visitors, strict or casual attitudes towards certain types of behaviour, cultural quirks. In other words, what should visiting supporters and players expect (or be startled be) when they visit your nation? The sky (or, more accurately, your imagination) is the limit.

Those of you with an NSwiki (http://ns.goobergunch.net/wiki) article can often simply provide a link to that article.

The NSwiki pages for your hosts may be found at:
* Ariddia (http://ns.goobergunch.net/wiki/index.php/Ariddia)
* The Holy Empire (aka Alasdair I Frosticus) (http://ns.goobergunch.net/wiki/index.php/Alasdair_I_Frosticus)


2) Defections.
This is an avenue of RPing which has never been explored in detail, and yet it's not unlikely that players would occasionally try to defect from a repressive country into a more democratic one (for example) while there for a football match. We encourage you to use this "theme" to interact with other participating nations.

Both Ariddia and the Holy Empire will be openly welcoming defectors from participating nations during the finals proper, but why should we have all the fun? Why not defections during the qualifiers too?

So how does this work? Well, the roster thread can be used as a guideline to simplify matters. You can use your roster post to indicate the following:

* Are you willing to have one (or more) of your players (or your coach, etc.) defect to another country (i.e., while visiting that country for a match)?
* If so, do you want to be able to choose which player(s) defect, and where, or can another nation decide that one of your players (of his/her choice) has defected?
* If you wish, list which of your players would be likely to defect. This may include your coach and any other personnel.
* What type of nation would they defect to? Would it have to be a
democracy? Would it have to be a rich country? Would it need to have a free market? Would it have to be socialist? Would a dictatorship do, as long as it
provides good quality of life? Etc.
* Feel free to indicate what (if anything) might make your country attractive (or not) to potential defectors.

To simplify, you may want to use this base template:

I am willing to have one or more of my players defect. Y/N
I allow other nations to have one or more of my players defect to their country. Y/N
If so:
- that nation can choose any of my players. Y/N
- that nation must choose from the list of potential defectors I've
provided. Y/N
- that nation must ask me specifically, and I will choose the player(s). Y/N
I allow players from other teams to defect into my country. Y/N
The following players from my team are possible defectors: (list)

This, of course, is only a base template. Feel free to provide a lot more detail, particularly as regards what sort of country someone might want to defect to.

And as to why WC34 should suddenly have an outbreak of defections.... well, with the hosts openly announcing their welcoming of defectors even before the tournament starts, maybe players have been inspired to have a go.

If you need to discuss defections, it would be best to TG or otherwise contact that person directly, though the World Cup Discussion Thread can also be used where absolutely necessary

3) Interviews.
What better way to interact with another participant country than to interview one of their players, or have one of your players interviewed by their media?

This is fairly simple. You can use the following interview template in the roster thread should you want to participate.


I would like to take part in interview RPs. (y/n)
Name a media organisation(s) or individuals willing to interview foreign players, officials, and/or supporters. (list)
Which of your players/officials/ supporters you would be willing to have interviewed by foreign media? (list)


Again, to contact someone to do such an RP, you can use this thread for reference, then TG that person (or, when necessary, use the Discussion thread).

4) The Oneiromancer. An RP setting / storyline. A Kafka-esque AIF-related RP theme revolving around the supposedly mythical founder of the Dreamed Realm (and inspired by a past Wentland/AIF CoH RP). Does the neiromancer exist? Is he manipulating the qualification campaign? If so, why?Just why does Ariddia have Ordinary Reality's greatest collection of Frostican art - are these objects meaningful? Are the people claiming to contact national FAs really his agents? If not, why is the State Bureau of Imperial Security so interested in them?

No one will ever actually meet the Oneiromancer or anyone that is definitely associated with him - the mystery will simply keep deepening with no real resolution... except where Imperial Security deals with those getting too close to the truth. It's sort of Kafka meets the Da Vinci Code meets the X-Files.

Nations choosing to work with this theme may do anything they choose provided that they never actually find the Oneiromancer or the (real) Glimmung (see the wiki link below!), nor should they do anything which harms the Dreamed Realm, the Holy Empire, or the Basileus (emperor). The nature of the Dreamed Realm makes attacks on or violence against the Holy Empire essentially impossible, but the infiltration of agents, while highly difficult, may not be impossible - especially if the World Cup is used as cover.

AIF reserves the right to have the Imperial Security forces arrest, imprison and/or deport anyone who 'gets too close to the truth'.

Information on the Oneiromancer, to help build / develop your RP, can be found here (http://ns.goobergunch.net/wiki/index.php/The_Oneiromancer).


Again, none of this is compulsory (just as RPing itself is not compulsory). Feel free to use as much or as little of it as you want. And feel free, of course, to explore other themes, with or without interaction with other participants.

And may you all have fun with this World Cup!

Home Stadium: Hatire Memorial (60,000)
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v637/chellote/ESF%20Stadiums/Capri.jpg
The Hatire Memorial stadia/museum is located on the beautiful and exotic island of Capri, just east of the Rinaldi and Raynor City. It was built in 18,923 in honor of one of the nations' most glorious heros and family, Jas Hatire and the entire Hatire bloodline, that has since died out. As a courtesy, seven thousand of the home matches tickets are allocated for traveling fans, and if not sold, will be put on sale at the gate two hours prior to kickoff.

As a country, the ESF is known for it's devout footy obsession, as well as other minor sports. The elves are also gracious hosts, as they provide a bottle of wine with every meal, Travesian Wine if it is one of the better off families or hotels. They are also quite devout followers of Elunism, and are contantly striving to bide by the mandates of conduct in the Book of Elune Vol I-III, as well as seek her blessing. A blessing supposedly will empower the blessed with whatever skills and talents neccassary to achieve a great task that is to bring great glory to the elves and their country.

Manager

Iñaki Soler (Vilita)
Age: 38
One of the greatest Vilita talents ever, and with the respect the ESC has for Vilita and the AO regions footy level, he was the favorite on their short list to replace Revtron. Taking the full three years to fully learn the tendancies of his players and the style that the elves prefer to play, Soler is looking to make a good reputation for himself in the ESF, being the first foreigner to every manage the Marauders. His task is simple, have the squad have a repeat trip to the Proper

Assistant Manager

Dwier Titenburg
Age: 1294
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 speculations about why Revtron had a pyschotic break and what he thins of the new manager, 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: 1322
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

5 Mathias Nickel, Hartdale Hawks
Age - 796
Sex -M
Has been the anchor for the imprentable defence of Hartdale for nearly a decade now, and has been granted the oppurtunity to show his skills for stifiling strikers on the starting eleven. Given some playing time in the last tournament, he likely won't make those mistakes unexpierence often leads to, and will likely be a rock solid contributor to what looks to be an superb backline.

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 - 1132
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.

Midfield

10 Marsha Stone, S.C. Vagrant Hills (Assegai)
Age - 1151
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: 1057
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 (C)
Age: 1129
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.

34 Jere Jannian, Raynor City Rockers
Age - 1047
Sex - M
One of the best wingers to every set foot on a pitch in the ESF. This lad is masterful at crossing and putting in perfect through ball or lobs. His skill has lead to numerous individual awards in the EPL, including five time winning of Winger of the Year award, as well as leading the league in assist nine out of his twelve seasons on the top flight. In addition, he has an easy to get along with personality, that makes him one of the best teammates, the one everyone wants to room with. He was finnaly given his due when Soler came in and wondered why such a talent was still on the reserves.

Forwards

28 Tobias Raynor, Char Sara Inferno
Age - 1295
Sex - M
Tobias has proved during qualuifications and the following Proper and CoHs, that he has the skills and the attitude to compete with anyone on the team, or in the world stride for stride. After spending sevene 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 - 1098
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.

9 Kiso Night, Rinaldi Gunners
Age 20
Sex - M
Son of legendary captain Zacharius, and the scoring mistress of Kyla Night, the prodigal son proved four years ago why the future of the ESF is very bright. He has the scoring prowess, the foot speed, control over the ball, balance, and intelegance for the game that makes him a dreaded assignment. His only flaw is trying to outshine his parents reputation, which leads to him taking a few too many shots when a pass to another player would of been the better play.

Coaching:
Co-Manager: Janne Aalto
Co-Manager: Ivan Benelli

No changes whatsoever from last cup, except a lot more experience for everyone. We've changed from a modified 3-5-2 to a modified 3-4-3. Hopefully we'll be able to avoid the scoring troubles we had from time to time. Pertti Vilho is penciled in for the starting spot, but Nikko Barker and Lanne Niemenen will both see time from the bench, along with Midfielder Per Korov, Defenseman Ogor Klippsoff and goalkeeper Jaska Wirmann. Those five will be the primary bench players, but it shouldn't be a surprise to see any of the other players on the roster, especially if the Pschychoes clinch qualifying early. Wolodimir Grishnak is the player not currently on the bench or the field most likely to play.

Starters' Profiles:
Ensio Varg (GK): The team's elder statesman and one of it's most experienced players, Varg is a solid goalkeeper and while he isn't the best in the world, he usually isn't called upon to do a tremendous amount of work. He can be counted on to make about one brilliant save per match, but if a team can muster up enough shots against him, they'll score goals.

Hrolf Roope (RB): Another experienced, older player, Roope is one of the twin anchors for our defense, holding down the right side. He will very occasionally move forward along the wing, but for the most part he is a totally defensive player.

Rudolf Emmerich (CB): One of the best center defenders in the world, he helps to head a defensive unit that is often left completely on its own if the ball is mishandled by the midfield. he is excellent at ball containment and forcing play to the outside.

Sten Mortenson (LB): The only possible weak link on defense, Mortenson is a very skilled player but still lacks some of the experience you'd want at this level. He is a great ballhandler, and joins the attack from time to time. However, he has been known to overcommit on defense and allow attackers to get through. He may be replaced by Ogor Klippsoff if his defensive play does not improve.

Knut Armin (RDM): Armin is a solid player, adept at passing and tackling. He and LDM Yuri Petchukov are usually the only players who will drop back to help the defense, although more drop back for corners and free kicks.

Yuri Petchukov (LDM): Petchukov completes the defensive half of the field as another experienced, proven player. Petchukov can have a fiery temper sometimes, and a long memory for offenses against him and his teammates.

Emil Jalmari (RAM): The biggest surprise of last cup was the emergence of Jalmari as a goal scoring threat. Probably the best shot of our midfielders, he will be getting a lot of feeds up the middle and down the right wing.

Arman Latvala (LAM): Latvala is probably the most experienced player on the team as far as playing time. He is a fantastic passer and is deadly accurate on free kicks. He acts as a sort of mentor to the young Jalmari, along with the other elder attackers.

Patrik Hermanni (CF): Another great passer, Hermanni works together with Latvala extremely well. He is overlooked as a goalscorer sometimes but is probably the third best shooter on the team behind Jalmari and Jaromil Ctibor. He'll be setting up a lot of shooters, but if given a chance, he won't hesitate to shoot.

Jaromil Ctibor (RS): Possibly the best striker out there, Ctibor combines speed, skill and toughness as a near perfect striker. After being mentored on the World Cup 31 Championship team, he has emerged as the Pschychoes premier player. His 6'3" height makes him deadly on set pieces as well.

Pertti Vilho (LS): A first time starter, Vilho is an unproven player. No one is entirely sure how he'll react to the pressure of the international stage. He'll be sharing time with the other up and coming strikers on the team. Hopefully, they'll be overshadowed by the higher profile players and misplaced by opposing defenses.

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

General Information:
All Squornshelan Home matches will be played at Vogsphere Arena in our capital, Vogsphere unless otherwise stated. The Arena is an aging, but recently renovated stadium that seats 75,000.

In culture and ethnicity, Squornshelous is a mixture of Slavic and Nordic peoples. Fish and game meats are very prevalent in local cuisine and alchohol of some kind is served with most meals. Many people are very heavy drinkers, and although the stuff served in "tourist bars" is weaker, foreigners not used to the lifestyle may find themselves drunk under the table by locals fairly rapidly, especially if they find their way to the bars that locals frequent.

1. Zwangzug's home matches will be played in an unnamed stadium in the Tirolean Mountains. The altitude is relatively high (training there has given the team the endurance to play with so few substitutes), so it may be difficult to climb up.

The country itself (http://ns.goobergunch.net/wiki/index.php/Zwangzug) is populated by all sorts of people: their general description could be "intellectually arrogant". Football/soccer, like most forms of athletics, are held in a general sort of disdain.

I allow other nations to have one or more of my players defect to their country. Y
If so, they can choose from the (admittedly short) list below, or contact me if they have another choice.
I allow players from other teams to defect into my country. Y
The following players from my team are possible defectors: (list)
*Simon Ryne: by far the most likely, he would want to go to a more capitalistic nation where athletics are more appreciated. Relative to Zwangzug, these are not exceptionally difficult criteria.
*Roger: less likely, but still possible.

3. I would like to take part in interview RPs. yes-contact me to initiate
Name a media organisation(s) or individuals willing to interview foreign players, officials, and/or supporters: Alan Babbage of Zwangzug Broadcasting (http://ns.goobergunch.net/wiki/index.php/Zwangzug_Broadcasting) is the easiest choice. The e-Lipogram (http://ns.goobergunch.net/wiki/index.php/Lipogram) is possible, if one is willing to undergo severe restrictions or be censored or edited. If the ties to the World Cup are hidden long and deeply enough, one might be even able to get an interview from the Merano Regency (http://ns.goobergunch.net/wiki/index.php/Merano_Regency).
Which of your players/officials/ supporters you would be willing to have interviewed by foreign media? Anybody.

4. The fact that the Zwangzug Anthem obfuscates dimensional boundaries is challenge enough in the Dreamed Realm.

All home matches will be in the Union Centre Stadium in Vilvek, a new, and rather large stadium in Swilatia with a seating capacity of 120K people/dwarves/elves/(insert any other humanoid species).


Vilvek is the capital city of Swilatia, and the country's largest city, with 32 million people living in it*. There is a wide variety of hotels in which supporters can stay, ranging from the City Hotel Vilvek, a very luxurious hotel which calls itself "Swilatia's only 6-star hotel", to the cheap hotels with sub-compact rooms.

The city, being founded 3000 years ago, has many differences between its districts, ranging from Stare Miasto, which has buildings from the ancient and middle ages, to East Splarka, a post-modern skyscraper district. The city, like many other Swilatian cities, is surrounded by many smaller cities, although the city can still actually be considered to expand upwards, as shown by the presence of high-rise flat blocks in the city's 3rd ring of districts, the ring in which much of the city's population lives.

[Considering the Baptism of Fire hasn't even started yet, I'm going to have to hold off posting the Oaklands team because...well, the Baptism of Fire hasn't even started yet. However, the rules remain the same - I will pick everything to do with the team, no players may defect and I'm open for interview-style roleplays.]

The Nation of Turori is also known for its Dominance as the two time defending champion of the NS Bowl, winning the American Football event in it's 4th and 5th incarnations.

The Football Association of Turori skipped World Cup 29 in order to allow coach Jualiar Vumaou the opportunity to train a flock of Cocoabo (Very large, generally flightless birds farmed in Turori) to play the sport. They became very good and were the sole members of the squad that performed admirably in World Cup 30 before qualifying under Vumaou for the World Cup 31 finals. However, after the death of one Cocoabo and controversy surrounding many others, and failure to qualify for the World Cup 32 Finals, Vumaou was sacked and a mix Cocoabo & Citizen of Turori squad was named for the Championship winning Cup of Harmony squad, which then made the World Cup 33 Finals and is looking to repeat that success in World Cup 34. World Cup 34 is widely expected to be the last that any Cocoabo's are named in the Turorian squad.

Riailia Magic was appointed the coach of the Turori Eels midway through World Cup 33 Qualifying when it appeared the Eels were down and out. The Vilitan based coach who originated from the Riailia Village tribe just a stones throw from Turori led the Eels on an 8 match winning streak that included a shockingly convincing 7-1 thrashing of former World Champions Squornshelous en route to a place in the World Cup Finals and eventually the knockout stage.

Coach: Caine Hawdon and Peter Hobble

Kit: JMC Kit with Black & Gold

Style: +1

#10, Ricky Yunn F ©

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.

#16, Stephan Smith F

Bios:
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 them to not only the 33rd World Cup Finals, but into the Round of 16. Always optimistic, DuPont strongly believes Sel Appa will advance to the World Cup Proper again.

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.

MF Arthur Mercator V is the son of midfielder Arthur Mercator IV and the fifth in a line of Sel Appan football legends. The Mercator Dynasty continues with this new addition, who is replacing Pho Nguyen who retired. He is expected to team up with his father.

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. He is the only player on the team to play for a foreign team: Dunboor FC of Cafendeu.

FW George Bedding is generally used as a substitute, but may see action this Cup.

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.

Molander is a big body standing in at goal and at 34 he might have lost some spring but none of his heart. Molander is a tri-captain and has been MVP of the Okiean League twice.

4 Jared Tyrell (D)
Age: 21
Height: 5'9"
Weight: 185lbs
40 Yd Dash: 4.56

Age: 26
Height: 6'3"
Weight: 225lbs
40 Yd Dash: 4.76
Mile: 4:16

Age: 25
Height: 6'5
Weight: 225lbs
40 Yd Dash: 4.95
Mile: 5:21
Club: Lexington
Kiffyn and Tyrell are physical but "Bashing" Eric Bennett is a skull splitting goon in an Okiean kit. Bennett has racked up a total of 15 suspensions totalling 30 games from the Okiean league for things ranging from "Dirty tackle" to "Sticking hand and grabbing unapropriate places".

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. 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.

For some reason (fountain of youth, transportation of country at speeds approaching light) people in our country do not age as fast as elsewhere.

The Head Coach of the Black Oxen is: Fernando Turek age 39, former midfielder for the Black Oxen. For the 1st time in team history, the squad didn't lose any players or add any. The team wants to advance into the Round of 16 together, but it will probably be the last Cup for many.

The team will play a +3 in a 3-3-4 formation.

Az-cz roster, to be used during World Cup 34 qualifiers

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

Roster:

Coaches: Nicolas Hausen

Coach Hausen takes over for Coach Khim and Coach Hawdon. After the team advanced to the finals last cup he has big shoes to fill but has established himself as an elite coach guiding his native Geisenfried to consecutive quarterfinal appearances.

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. He has experience as a head coach leading the Az-cz side in World Cup 19 and is back in his role as an assistant on the senior squad.

Bub-Rub: Bub-Rub was another player who took part in the Baptism of Fire champion squad and was on the side that made the first Az-cz trip to the world cup proper. He replaces Peter Hobble as coach of the strikers and attacking midfielders for this squad.

Players:

The entire squad is back from the team that finished second in World Cup 33.

Forwards:

#19 - Stanleyinho

Height: 6'6"
Weight: 180 lbs
Age: 32
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. He earned his starting spot back last cup and was a key part of the run to the final match before a tragic injury kept him out of the lineup.

#19 - EE-Or

Height: 5'6"
Weight: 153 lbs
Age: 24
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 the side. Struggled a bit last cup, losing his starting spot to
Stanleyinho, but should be more comfortable this cup and is still expected to play a big role for the team.

#14 - Uz-Gz

Height: 5'2"
Weight: 130 lbs
Age: 30
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: 20
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. A fine showing in his second AOCAF should propel him further into the attack for this cup.

Midfield:

#10 - Pizelkaxrovsky

Height: 5'9"
Weight: 170 lbs
Age: 31
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: 34
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. He has announced that this will be his last cup, so he is looking to go out with a stron hurrah.

#7 - Kn-Dg

Height: 5'4"
Weight: 140 lbs
Age: 25
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: 24
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.

#13 - Jorge Shockey

Height: 6'1"
Weight: 190 lbs
Age: 19
Club Team: Red Dwarf Rangers

Jorge Shockey learned quickly from his backup experience last cup and steps into the starting lineup this cup paired in defensive midfield with Hubertino. Shockey provides a more physical package and a sharp mind as well as developing skills. He will provide youth and energy to balance Hubertino's experience. He also provides Az-cz with a lot of size from their midfield, something not that common for them.

#11 - Ip-Gp

Height: 5'3"
Weight: 120 lbs
Age: 25
Club Team: Darzog Mages

Ip-Gp is once again pairing with Pizelkaxrovsky in central midfield and will really help deversify the attack. They teamed together beautifully last cup and look to discover the magic again. He is also the best penalty taker on the team. With five cups of experience he is truly coming into his own as one of the stars of this team.

#12 - Lo-Ro

Height: 5'3"
Weight: 125 lbs
Age: 33
Club Team: Vertigo slimes

Lo-Ro returns to the bench for what he has announced will be his final cup. Having plenty of experience both as a starter and coming off the bench he will be the leader of the bench squad and will provide plenty of assistance to the younger players on the team. 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.

#17 - Hmr-Pn

Height: 5'6"
Weight: 145 lbs
Age: 23
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 EE-Or he will certainly be a key option from the bench.

#18 - Hu-35

Height: 5'1"
Weight: 130 lbs
Age: 21
Club Team: Darzog Mages

Hu-35 is back for his third cup. 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. He is being pushed by Ho-Lee Chung and both are pressuring the top midfielders for playing time.

#20 - Ho-Lee Chung

Height: 5'10"
Weight: 165 lbs
Age: 23
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. With a second fine AOCAF showing he is proving himself to be a deadly attack option and their is some thought that he can even play striker if necessary.

Defenders:

#3 - Mario Nerazzurri

Height: 6'8"
Weight: 225 lbs
Age: 31
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: 23
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: 28
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 - Ca-Fu

Height: 5'8
Weight: 160 lbs
Age: 18
Club Team: Golem Golems

Ca-Fu has advanced greatly from his suprise selection on the team last cup. He is now rated as the top defensive substitute, passing over Du-Tre and La-Yu. His development is occurring quite quickly and soon he will be a starting defender for the Az-cz squad. He is looking as if he might go down as the greatest Az-cz defender ever.

#6 - Du-Tre

Height: 5'7
Weight: 160 lbs
Age: 24
Club Team: Yak Clerics

Du-Tre was 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.

#21 - La-Yu

Height: 5'3
Weight: 130 lbs
Age: 22
Club Team: Cloud Harpies

La-Yu is an up and coming defender. He hasn't developed as much as was hoped, but he is still a strong defender who won't ruin the Az-cz side if he is forced into action.

Goalies:

#1 - Gn-Lg

Height: 5'11"
Weight: 160 lbs
Age: 32
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: 34
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: 30

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.

The starters are Stanleyinho up front, Kn-Dg and Levesque playing very attacking midfielders, Pizelkaxrovsky and Ip-Gp in somewhat attacking positions of control in the middle and Jorge Shockey 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.

As far as stadium details go all of the stadiums that will be used in this cup are the same as were used in World Cup 33. Az-cz is a nation of thieving peace loving generous socialists. It is a sort of Utopian place where few people where clothese except as necessary for work or weather.

Defections:

We will allow players to come to Az-cz, but no Az-cz players will be defecting.

Interviews: We will allow interviews from Az-cz or interviews of any Az-czzers. Any player or coach, or director Noz-Tf is available for interviews. Anybody else is also available for interviews, but they haven't been created in character. As far as Az-cz media organizations the main ones would be the Az-cz scroll or the -Sports channel's main soccer reporter former striker Lur-Mn.

Errinundera WC34 details

http://i55.photobucket.com/albums/g136/regnans/East%20Gippsland/Uniform34.png

The white "potoroo" kit is used for all games (home and away) except when Errinundera is the designated away side and their opponents have a significant amount of white in their uniform. The alternative "green and gold" strip follows recent practice and has the colours of the current EFA premier team, the Milosis White Guard. If Errinundera is the designated away side and their opponents have significant white AND green in their uniform then the "blue" uniform is used. The goalie wears the predominantly grey "bark" uniform.

Strikers: John Downing, John Danning, John Dressing

Midfielders: Gerald Norris(Captain), A hatstand, Peter the Pet Rock

Defenders: Mr. T. Harold, Ms. A. Jenners, Mr. T. J. Eckleburg, Miss Harthswipe

Goalkeeper: A stop sign with a lot of Police "Do Not Cross" Tape



A Bit of Backround: Gerald Norris is an Attorney at Crime(Note: Vastly different than an Attorney at Law, in that one robs people blind while providing a service of debatable quality, and the other robs people blind and then sues them), graduated not quite at the top of his class at Bloco'yce, and then proceeded to rake in Curses by defending and adivising the wealthiest criminals he could find. After the botched defense of a mob boss, he tried to flee the country, but found that the only way to do this was if he had International Business. After hemming and hawing with Airport Officials, he started a new football team, and managed to escape. He knows nothing about football, and has very few leadership abilities. He'll go far in the world of Raging Penguins Football.

John Downing - The Con Man responsible for the collapse of the Northern Wasteland Feather Bank. This was a highly publicized occurance, and gained him noteriety, as well as the wrath of thousands of furious waist-high birds, most of which had lost their savings and accounts due to him. He also joined The Team in order to flee the country. Was made a striker due to his abilty to take things from people. It was assumed that he was able to take the ball from other teams(Doubtful).

John Danning - A Con Man known for cheating thousands of Troglodytian Casinos of their profits. Joined the team for the ticket out of the country. Was made a Striker due to his penchant for scoring. Scoring the Jackpot, that is. He can't play football to save his life(which he'll likely have to).

John Dressing - A Con Man who conned his way onto The Team in order to leave the country. According to reports, he is responible for conning his way into every government department, stripping them of their budget for his wardrobe, and slipping away unnoticed. Supposedly, he did this to every corparation and comapny in Raging Penguins was well. Is expected to get new jerseys for The Team. Football ability is unknown, as he can probably con his way into possession of the ball if he needs to.

A hatstand - A piece of furnature intended for hats to be hung upon. What else? (Apparently, it joined up to flee the country. We have no idea why.)

Peter the Pet Rock - This internationally known terrorist is responsible for the dynamiting of Mount Crushedmore in the country of Us, among other things. He is, as his name implies, a pet rock. According to rumour, he killed his owner(a bign man in the Oil Industry) and stole the deposits, which he uses to fund his terrorist operations. He joined The Team in order to do something undoubtedly dastardly and devious. He isn't telling anybody what.

Mr. T. Harold - A kidnapped Airport bureaucrat. Was sub-peona'd into The Team by Norris in order to bypass paperwork. Is unlikely to allow anybody to pass him without filling out the proper paperwork, and thus was placed on defense.

Ms. A. Jenners - An airport bureaucrat, conned into joining The Team by one of the Johns. She is there in order to fill out any paperwork required for playing in the Cup. Is on defense for obvious reasons.

Mr. T. J. Eckleburg - A generic Beaurocrat whe gives off the feeling that he's watching everything and everybody. Doubles as The Teams medic, as well as being one of their best defenders. Wears large glasses. Joined The Team under mysterious circumstances.

Miss Harthswipe - A very loose transvestite. Is liable to send insecure or squeemish opponants packing with a single sultry smile. Has disgusting teeth, and wears around 30 pounds of makeup on his/her face alone. Likes lacey dresses with long skirts and low neck-lines, high-heels and long, romantic walks at the beach. Joined The Team for the goodlooking football players on other teams.

Stop Sign and Police "Do Not Cross" Tape - A single entity, due to the tape being securely fastened to the stop sign. The tape is also designed to be wrapped around the goalposts of the goal it is guarding, thus making any goal made upon it illegal. An ingenius invention, thought up by the Johns, Mr. T. Harold, and Gerald Norris. Had no say in whether or not it wanted to join The Team.



Note: The ONLY Stadium in Raging Penguins is a Minefield in the middle of a chilly tundra far from any city or medical facility. How they managed to bury mines in the frozen turf is an unsolved mystery of time. Generally, the only players to step on the mines are the ones from The Team. Blow them up as you see fit.

In addition, there will never be ANY fans from Raging Penguins. The people of Raging Penguins hate The Team on principle, and will only show up in order to kill The Team by crucifix or fire.

Raging Penguins is cold. Very Cold. It's also very hostile towards people of different cultures or races. Especially cultures which encourage or involve turbans, garlic, sand and ankle-long robes. Salesmen are not welcome, and do not, under any circumstance, imply that the penguins which walk around are cute, darling, or inferior. Do not pet the penguins. They will savage you.
Also, the people of Raging Penguins are not, in general, penguins. They are humans. There are, of course, penguins around. Don't pet them. Several of these penguins own huge, international corporations, and employ humans and penguins. Others are active members of the police force. They are intelligent, and fly off the handle easily. Don't pet the penguins.

http://www.thirdgeek.com/ns/worldcup/graphics/flags/33/UCS/ Unified Capitalizt States
The Unified Capitalizt States, sometimes referred to as Commerce Heights, is a very large, very rich nation consisting of an area in Atlantian Oceania and of the entire planet Sirius D, the former Aquillan homeworld. It has no laws, other than a general prohibition on harming another person or their property except as permitted by contract. Many future-tech things are used in the UCS, including teleporters, spaceships, and extremely tall buildings, though most such technologies are too expensive for the general population.

There are two organizations based in the UCS that compete in the World Cup. The first, and better-known, is called Capitalizt SLANI, which has been around since World Cup 25 (and inherited the record of the CHFF, which goes all the way back to World Cup 7). Prior to World Cup 30, it competed under the name Commerce Heights, and is still listed as such in official results. The other is known as 자스연 (Jasīʼyūn), and is often referred to as Jasīʼyūn or JSY. It is officially identified by the World Cup Committee as Commerce Heights JSY, but there is no separate nation with that name, and the Aeropag Tribune reporters like to mock people who think that there is. It has competed since World Cup 30, and has had little success in qualifying.

Due to the non-existence of citizenship in the UCS, both teams frequently use players residing outside the UCS, particularly those in the International City, Lontorika, and Bedistan, none of which have their own World Cup team. Capitalizt SLANI is more liberal about doing this than 자스연 (Jasīʼyūn).

Stadia
Both teams tour the many large stadia in the Unified Capitalizt States for their home games. Though they each officially have a “home stadium,” this is only used to mean that the other team may not use that stadium for its home games.

Sokojito Überdome
Location: 소코지토 도시, 소코지토 (Sokojito Dosi, Sokojito)
Capacity: 400 552
Built for the infamous “CHO:P” World Cup 26 bid, the Sokojito Überdome is the largest known stadium in Atlantian Oceania. To allow for its massive capacity, teleportation devices are used to get spectators into their seats, which are inaccessible by other means. Aside from the final of World Cup 26, the Überdome has hosted several matches between Capitalizt SLANI and Krytenia, which have earned the stadium a reputation for very high-scoring games.

CDA Stadium
Location: New Seoul, New Manhattan
Capacity: 173 205
Once the national stadium of the CHFF team, CDA (Capitalizt Defense Alliance) Stadium is the only major stadium left in New Manhattan, which was once the center of Capitalizt sports. Because of the enormous population of the Commerce Heights (city) metropolitan area, matches played here very rarely have empty seats.

Capitalizm
Location: 유포, 소코지토 (ʼYupo, Sokojito—note the apostrophe)
Capacity: 161 803
Capitalizm, named after the economic system that has brought great wealth to the people of the Unified Capitalizt States, was constructed at great expense for the CHFF’s World Cup 16 bid with Melmond, and was also once the national stadium. Though it is traditional in design and does not require teleporters like the Überdome, it does utilize a number of other sophisticated technologies to enhance the fans’ experience.

Drakcorp Querzakhi Olympic Stadium
Location: Querzakhi, Tarraconesis
Capacity: 157 080 (under construction)
Drakcorp Querzakhi Olympic Stadium, built by the Spaamanian corporation Drakcorp for the Capitalizt club, Querzakhi United, that it purchased, sits very close to the border between the UCS and Bedistan. As a result, matches played by Capitalizt SLANI there tend to attract a significant number of supporters of the opposing team, who often scramble to find an outfit with a vague correlation to the opposing team’s colors and walk across the border. The stadium is currently undergoing extensive renovation by the CHEAT Alliance in preperation for the Games of the II Olympiad in Querzakhi, significantly expanding its capacity.

JPL Paladin Stadium (자스연 (Jasīʼyūn) home stadium)
Location: Port Lusambo, Jativa
Capacity: 128 400
JPL (Jativa Power and Light) Paladin Stadium is a relatively new venue, built for the once-dominant Port Lusambo Paladins of the 자스연 리그 (Jasīʼyūn Ligī). Though many supporters have since switched their loyalty to the SLANI League’s KQ Qidádire Putemo, the Paladins still draw a decent crowd, and more should come to see 자스연 (Jasīʼyūn) in action. An article in the Aeropag Tribune about the RP bonus machine installed there has earned it the nickname “the Randome.”

Auswärtssieg Arena
Location: Natestadt, Lontorika
Capacity: 127 202
Given the limited success and fan base of the local team, the Natestadt Nationalisten, the club successfully lobbied the owners for it to be given the name Auswärtssieg Arena, meaning “arena of away wins.” Although Capitalizt SLANI has not encountered many away wins there, the name has stuck. It is of fairly advanced construction, but does not quite match Capitalizm in the technology used. Still, it is regarded by many as the best sports venue in the UCS.

Aeropag Olympic Stadium
Location: Aeropag, Jativa
Capacity: 107 596
Aeropag Olympic Stadium was originally named the Orange–Green Bowl—a reference to the original football team that played there, the Aeropag Hurricanes. As its current name suggests, it hosted the opening and closing ceremonies of the I Olympic Winter Games in Aeropag. It is a fairly average stadium, not using particularly extravagant technologies nor having a significant local fan base that attends games played there, but is well-maintained.

Anaphase Alchemy Stadium (Capitalizt SLANI home stadium)
Location: Sonoma Center, New Anaphase
Capacity: 81 067
Home of the Sonoma Center Panthers, one of the greatest clubs in Capitalizt football, Anaphase Alchemy Stadium attracts a broad local supporter base, making it very difficult or very expensive to find tickets. The stadium is well-known for an active streak of over five hundred consecutive sold-out Panthers games, which has made the management somewhat hesitant to significantly expand.

Unity Stadium
Location: International City of Paripana
Capacity: 75 000
Unity Stadium was built as a neutral venue in the International City of Paripana, a city between the UCS, Bedistan, and Lontorika that is jointly administered by the three nations. Its first use was to host some group matches during World Cup 8 in Bedistan, including those of the Commerce Heights team. It has recently been renovated for use by the Capitalizt national teams, as well as by the Capitalizt club KQ Internepáïire and the now-defunct Bedistani club Internepáïire Bédistem. Like Drakcorp Stadium, matches here are normally attended by a significant number of Bedistanis.

Keto Olympic Stadium
Location: 케토, 소코지토 (Keto, Sokojito)
Capacity: 65 535
Built on top of an older, run-down stadium for the purpose of hosting the ceremonies of the II Olympic Winter Games, Keto Olympic Stadium has brought a significant amount of business to the city. However, as it is normally reserved for matches against teams in their first World Cup qualification attempt, the national-team games played here tend not to attract much of a home crowd.

http://www.thirdgeek.com/ns/worldcup/graphics/flags/33/COM/ Capitalizt SLANI

http://www.thirdgeek.com/ns/worldcup/graphics/flags/33/JSY/ 자스연 (Jasīʼyūn)
Davida Yesta, content with his team not losing as badly as SLANI in the AOCAF—though not winning, either—has decided to continue using the attacking style introduced because of the new AOCAF rules. He has made a few replacements in the midfield and defense because of the new tactic, but has still left the squad essentially unchanged.

FORT EUROPE

STAFF BIO's

Manager – Shaun Miller - 38
Shaun has only just taken over as manager of the national side, and is yet to prove himself capable of the job. He enjoyed a long playing career before being forced into management with lower league side Aby Falls, and later moved to Ascama United it the top division. Many fans are skeptical though that he can provide what his predecessor Stuart Moss could not.

Assistant Manager - Ria Gaskell - 25
After a short spell as caretaker manager, Ria is back in the assistant’s chair where she believes she is happiest. With two young daughters with husband Mark, and a third on the way this may be the last time we see Ria at this level.

Head Coach - Josh Melannis - 31
Josh has been Head Manager with Fort Europe for some time now. He’s a friendly guy who gets on well with everyone and many expect him to stay with the national side for many years to come.

Coach - Sam Jones - 22
Goalkeeper coach, Sam will drive out the best performances with the minimum of effort, and claw out 120% of her players talent when he feels like it. He may be young, but believes that is no excuse for providing a poor performance.

Coach - Ian Holbeach - 41
A tactical genius, Ian's multi tasking skills allows him to fulfill several rolls for the team for no extra pay, including talent scout and general dogs body. On match day he will often be found in the bar chatting up the opposition's wives.

Physio - Tanya Gilmore - 24
A qualified nurse, Tanya is adored by the players who believe her to bring good luck to the team as the last time she missed a game they lost by four goals to one.

Publicity - Alysa Tiana - 25
As the Governor of neighboring Bovingtonia many questioned Alysa's reasons for taking on the responsibility of Publicity manager for the Commonwealth Sports Council. However, she loves the job as much as the teams love her and is doing a marvelous job.


SQUAD BIO's

GK - 01 - James West - 28 - Stape Harriers
The longest serving player on the Fort Europe national side, James joined the national team eight cycles ago and has played more games than any other in the history of football in Fort Europe. West is however expected to retire from international football after this World Cup.

GK - 13 - Ed Russell - 23 - Kaytuo City
Ed is regarded as one of the best goalkeepers in the Commonwealth, however he has struggled to hold down a place in the Fort Europe side as second favorite to James West.

GK - 23 - Tom Reas - 16 – Baysleef Bombers (Elves Security Forces)
The youngest player in the squad, Tom moved to ESF after his performances in the last World Cup and has made a name for himself over there.

DF - 02 - Floe Peltsten - 21 - Stape Harriers
Floe followed in the footsteps of his father and joined the national team when he was 18, since then he has become a regular for Fort Europe with an impressive number of caps and even a couple of goals.

DF - 14 – Francis Rowe - 23 – Sutina Saints
The first new face of Miller’s new look side, Francis is expected to add depth to the defense as a confident and well rounded player. He joined the Saints from their youth academy two cycles ago and was influential in the team’s promotion to the top division.

DF - 12 - Laura Harris - 18 - Latona FC
Laura may be young but she has the confidence to carry through in any given situation. She is disappointed to have been relegated to the substitute’s bench for the majority of the last World Cup and hopes to find her place in the side under Shaun Miller.

DF - 03 - Shaun Pearson - 24 - Latona FC
Shaun has become one of the teams most valuable players in the last few cycles and has displayed all the leadership qualities needed for him to obtain the team captaincy, however his discipline on the pitch has left much to be desired from him of late and he is unlikely to wear the arm band in this World Cup.

DF - 04 - Murphy Lee -26 – Mar Sara Flames (Elves Security Forces)
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. One of the longer serving players in the national squad, he is still a favorite in the Fort Europe side.

DF - 15 - Mike Young - 25 - Assegai Developments FC (Assegai)
Mike Young has managed to hold onto his place in the Fort Europe side though is unlikely to get off the bench for much of this World Cup after Miller criticised his recent form. Ninety five percent of his fans are teenage girls.

DF - 20 - Aki Haddon - 20 - Kaytuo City
One of a hand full of female players to grace the national team of Fort Europe, Aki is a powerful defender able to drive both the ball and the team forwards when most needed.

MF - 05 - Gemma Lloyd - 24 - 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 will find it hard to take your eyes off her. Gemma claims her recent collection of yellow cards is because the referee’s use it as an excuse to get closer to her.

MF - 06 – Ethan Jatzi – 22 – Sutina Saints
Shaun Miller believed Ethan should have been in the national side last cycle at least, but was overlooked. Now that he has been give a chance to prove himself, Ethan will not want to disappoint. He is a fast midfielder with a lot of potential so expect great things.

MF - 07 - Ryan Holmes - 22 - Fortress FC
Ryan has performed well as a playmaker for the side, able to hold the ball up and feed it with precision to where ever he wants it. The departure of Tim Forrester has meant Ryan has been given team captain temporarily until Shaun Miller can decide on a more permanent solution

MF - 17 – Curzon Thyre - 16 – Sirus Athletic
The complete surprise to all, Curzon has yet to play a single match for Sirus Athletic since joining them at the start of the season from the Commonwealth Youth Academy, how ever he has performed with distinction recently for the national under twenty one side. He isn’t expected to start a match in this World Cup though.

MF - 08 - Andy Fletcher - 24 - 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.

MF - 18 - Mia Nevola - 22 - 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 a valuable asset on the left wing, though she is more than capable of cutting inside and scoring with either foot.

MF - 22 – Will Ingue - 19 – Sirus Athletic
Another new face in the Fort Europe side for this World Cup, Will has proved he is up for the challenge after performing well during the group stages of the YoungWorld’s Champions League.

MF - 24 - Katherine Keller – 23 - Fortress FC
Kathy has been in the team a while, but has recently lost her place in the starting line up after a run of poor form and a series of injuries that have kept her out of the domestic competitions. She will have to work hard to regain her place.

AF - 09 - Michelle Bishop - 24 - 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.

AF - 10 - Chris Lessinger - 25 - AS Lasft (Cafundeu)
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 - 20 - Sirus Athletic
Ian has only made 6 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 - 11 - Karl Isaak - 26 - Fort Lakaria City
Fort Europe's star player, Karl has been with the national side for three seasons now and has at least another two in him. Michelle's equal in pace and score tally per game, he also collected the highest number of yellow cards last season, though no red ones.

AF - 25 - Josephine Blanchard - 17 - Racing River Rapid
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 as she has pledged her entire playing career to the club.

Dropped from the Fort Europe national side since the last World Cup were Tim Forrester and Del Jenkins who both retired from international football, plus Vicky Princess who is not part of Shaun Miller’s plans for the team. Edowine Sanjuan also leaves the team to have her second child.

If you RP first, be nice and RP the events within reason.

Tynelia's roster ((seems i can only sign in once a day as Tynelia proper and once i time out i can;t relog))

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

Coach- Jay Masterson- age 50. Tynelia’s all time leading WC scorer with 36 goals in group play and one more in the cup itself, is now back for his second try on the coaching side of things after a successful debut which finally got the team to its first ever qualification and an upset over the then #1 team in the world Krytenia in the knockouts. Having achieved his oft stated goal of playing in a Cup proper Masterson has finally retired from play. As an added surprise this time around, Masterson was told recently that he would be the first ever Tynelian nominated for a spot in the World Cup Hall of Fame.
Formation
…………D.MacDougal……………………. C. MacDougal
Masterson Jr.…………………T.Conroy……………….Thompson
………………Landers………………………Linderton
M.MacDougal…………………...Stossels…………………Marshall………
……………………..S.MacDougal…………………………….

G- Sean MacDougal (26-starter) Sean finally gets the starting nod after being behind Tom Gordman last Cup. One of the ever growing clan MacDougal family members on the team, MacDougal led the league in goals against average and was quoted late in the season as saying “Hey after dealing with my brothers all the time this is easy!”
G- Mandy Martin (20- reserve) Mandy was the league rookie of the year this season after an impressive 8-2-2 showing in her matches this year. All this despite only starting soccer three years ago in high school. A natural and mentioned by some to be the next Amy Whiteworth, Martin seeks to get some valuable experience this time around with a look to get the starter’s job next time.

F- Connor MacDougal- (30- starter) The eldest of the MacDougal clan, Connor continued the family tradition of high scoring and attacking the net. Connor finds himself already after two Cups the third highest scoring player in Tynelian history with 21 goals in group play and one more in the Cup proper. He has an outside chance at catching Masterson’s record this year and due to the injury to Bill Jakes which ended his career looks to be the leading scorer for the team this time around.
F-Mia Thompson (35-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 the two MacDougals MacDougal chances to finish the job. This is her final WC appearance and hopes to hold onto to her women’s all time scoring mark from Tina Conroy’s challenge.
F- Duncan MacDougal (28-starter) With Bill Jakes out of action the second MacDougal son moves up to the striker’s spot in his third Cup showing. A solid effort last time with 6 goals is a mark he claims he wants to double this time around. He finished second to his brother Connor in goal scoring this season after edging his big brother by a single goal the season before.
F- Tina Conroy (23- starter)- Now a starter in her second Cup, Conroy is expected to do great things this time around. In limited playing time mostly at the end of the last round of group play she uncorked an impressive four goals as well as a handful of assists. She was also voted recently in Sports Unillustrated as “Tynelia’s sexiest athlete” along with curling star Hans Hattersan. Whether this newfound title will affect her game any has yet to be seen.
F- Jay Masterson Jr. (20- starter) Coach Masterson oldest son makes his WC debut in what is claimed to be a clear case of nepotism especially when he was named the starter. While Jay Jr. did finish in the top fifteen in overall scoring in his second year of play it was thought that the veteran Lance Cadeon would get the starting role instead of a reserve spot. Jay Jr. doesn’t have his father’s scoring touch but is a much better ball handler and looks to set up the MacDougals as often as possible in his debut, though its said that his father wishes he would “just shoot the damn ball.”
F- Lance Cadeon (26-reserve) Cadeon was a surprise selection only in that he was expected to start as befits a top ten scorer rather than come off the bench. Coach Masterson claims he wanted a veteran presence coming off the bench to help settle the possibly too impulsive Jay Jr. and Tina. Cadeon has been rather silent about this slight saying only that “The coach does what he wants to do. He got us to the Cup last time so he knows what’s he’s doing.” Insiders close to Cadeon believe this is just a front.
F/M- Jennifer Elba (23- reserve) A versatile player, Elba is making her Cup debut this time around. While excelling in no specific area, her passing and ball handling skills make her a good fit as either a midfielder or forward, positions she has both played this season. A top ten assists finish this year earned her a spot here and she is expected to spell Mia Thompson late in games.


M- Debbie Landers- (33-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 and has faith in her ability to get things going on offense once again.
M- Samuel Linderton (24- starter) “Slidin’ Sammy” as he is known makes his debut here in his third season of play. Known as a mudder for his willingness to slide and sacrifice his body to break up a play, Linderton led the league in steals by a wide margin and was second in the defensive player of the year voting despite being a midfielder. He is though to be the Ying to the attacking Yang of Landers in the middle of the field.
M- Tom Tippen (33-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. He has gotten much better at reading the play ahead of him which more than makes up for whatever half step he has lost at age 33.
M/D- Brad Patiman (22- reserve) Another member of the next generation of Tynelian soccer stars, Patiman made the team on the basis of his lead leading +19 goal differential. Lacking the killer instinct of a forward, he has found his niche on the defensive side of things where he has made a name for himself as a first time All Star this season. Except to see him spelling Landers if Coach Masterson wants to try to sit on a lead late.

D- Jane Stossels (32-starter) Six time winner of the Defensive player of the year, including the last two in a row, 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. She has said this will be her final Cup.
D- Jacob Marshall (32-starter) Marshall is a five 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 as he finished fourth in the defensive player of the year voting.
D/M- Meggie MacDougal (21- starter) 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. Making her debut in the starting lineup this time around she is expected to take up whatever slack her older linemates may leave late in the game. At 5’0” she’s the runt of the team and was declared the team mascot by her older cousins. The bubbly redhead is also the team practical joker with her cousins seemingly often the butt of her pranks in what she claims to be purely a coincidence.
D/G- Gary Greene (25-reserve) Greene is a strong defender with a solid +13 goal differential rating who originally came up as a keeper in his first season before being moved to defense last season. For this reason Coach Masterson named him as the emergency third keeper. Greene is expected to get regular play time in giving Stossels and Marshall a break to keep them fresh for the later matches of the tourney.

Stadiums-
Presidential Coliseum- seats 60,000 in the capital of Tyr, an older but constantly renovated arena, it is the largest soccer stadium in the country. All the biggest matches in Tynelian soccer history have been played here. Tyr is the largest city in the country and boasts two professional soccer teams, two baseball teams and a football team. Some call Tyr the sports capital of the country. Just don’t get in the middle of an argument between Tyr Hippo and Tyr Ferret soccer fans. Don’t expect much in the way of religious services, as befits the mostly atheist country, no churches or temples can be found in the city limits, though some may be found in the suburbs.

Sun Stadia- seats 45,000 in the coastal city of Varrik, Tynelia’s tourist hub known for its beaches and crystal clear waters and the local touch of the myriad of small family shops and restaurants that dot the beachfront. For those looking to burn some money the Varrik casino is always looking for more income…er people to enjoy its ambiance. It too has its own baseball, soccer and football teams but you’ll find no heated rivalries here as most folk are too busy working on their tans to fight about sports.

Ice Bowl- seats 25,000 in the northern city of Damak in the foothills of the Tynelian Peaks, the highest mountains in the country. However unlike the other two venues you won’t hear people fighting over soccer. No, Damak is in fact the Tynelian curling capital home of at least 30 leagues and home of the Tynelian Winter Olympic committee. Skiing both downhill and cross country are popular here as well as speed skating. Bring a sweater as its cool even in the summertime here. The football Tyr Penquins are the lone professional team to be found in this city as efforts to increase soccer’s popularity here are moving at a shall we say…glacial pace.

The Great Cathedral, built during the first era of the Kingdom of Losstarot, was nearly devastated during the invasion from Turruth Gordur. Repaired and brought back to its former magnificence, the Great Cathedral serves as the main concourse for Cathedral Park. Football fans that walk in through its main gates will marvel at the fine tapestries and stained glass windows adorning the Great Cathedral.

Nickname: The Aroras
First Kit: Green and gold quartered shirts, green shorts
Second Kit: Blue and white quartered shirts, blue shorts (this kit is always worn against any teams playing in predominantly red strips)
National Stadium: Tiddles Park, Gabalfa (capacity 102,000 - approx 50,000 seated)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, who was tragically killed by an invading army of giant ants.
A few facts about Bettia:
Bettians are well-known for their politeness and friendliness, a fact backed up by many 'reliable' UN reports.
Bettia is a mainly muslim country, so any fans looking to have an away-day piss-up will be very disappointed. Our local tea and scones are very popular though, as are the famous Butetown meat pies which are widely available from many outlets around the stadium.
Bettia is reknowned for its natural beauty and glorious tropical weather, so any visiting fans wanting to make a vacation of their match are more than welcome. Favourite holiday destinations include the south coast (with its many pristine beaches and clear blue waters) and the Banastra Rainforest.
Bettians are legendary for their dislike of all things red due to its association with all things evil - hell, Satan, fire, anger, rage etc. Visiting teams who normally wear red as part of their national strip are kindly requested not to do so. However, we do have a defence against this - the patented Azurlens™ blue-tinted sunglasses which made their debut at World Cup 33 to great effect, which help to nullify their opponents redness.
Bettians love football so much that giant screens are now a permanent fixture in many cities and towns.
Details of our national anthem, map, currency and many other interesting and not-so-interesting facts can be found at the Bettia Wiki (http://ns.goobergunch.net/wiki/index.php/Bettia)




Manager:
Stuart Abdul-RahimBettia's veteran manager and hero of their early days, Stuart Abdul-Rahim capped it all by leading the Aroras to World Cup glory. 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 another high after announcing that this will be his last World Cup.




Goalkeepers:

1. Mitchell Ellis - Akani Sands, age 33, 30 caps, 1 goal (captain)One of the heroes of Bettia's World Cup triumph, he capped an incredible tournament by scoring an even more incredible goal in the final. Once again retains the captain's armband for what will probably be his international swansong.
2. Akram Dewar - Tiddles Park, age 26, 7 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. Said bin Said Ismail - Butetown Dragons, age 22, 31 capsA mainstay of the WC33 squad who more than cemented his place with many solid performances. Just like his fater, he has also shown a definate talent with long throws, proving instrumental in setting up some swift and deadly counter-attacks
4. Hisham Azmi - Sukatra Tigers, age 24, 14 capsAfter many sparkling performances for his club, Hisham Azmi made the step up to senior international football during the previous World Cup where, although he was mainly used as a substitute, he gained valuable experiance at the highest level. A versatile player who can also play in midfield, or even in goal if needed.
5. Mark Silversmith - Akani Sands, age 22, 9 capsA versitile utility player who made his debut during AOCAF 19, Silversmith has quickly gained a good reputation for his vision and accurate tackling.



Midfield:

6. Barry Scott - Tiddles Park, age 31, 78 caps, 17 goals An ever-present in the World Cup winning squad. Reknowned, nay, feared for his pinpoint passing and set-piece prowess which can turn a game around faster than you can yell "BANG! And the dirt is gone!"
7. Frank Myfanwy - Fiilghud Town, age 24, 12 caps
A committed, firey character is a strong central midfield figure who has gained a chance to shine in Bettia's starting lineup after spending much of World Cup 33 on the bench. Another player who can launch long throws.
8. Evan Anderson - Fortuna Bettialis, age 21, 0 capsA debutant from the resurgent Fortuna Bettialis team, Anderson seems to be the epitome of the old sporting cliché "An old head on a young pair of shoulders". A flambouyant playmaker with great vision and awareness.
9. Ariel Haynes - Butetown Dragons, age 22, 7 caps, 1 goal
The captain of Bettia's young AOCAF 19 squad, Haynes showed he has what it takes to boss the midfield... but can he make the breakthrough here?



Wingers:

10. Adi Bandasera - Perumnasih, age 22, 31 caps, 2 goals
One of the revelations of the Bettian World Cup 33, Bandasera and his clubteam-mate Kurniawan repeatedly ripped club defences to shreds - his ruthless, relentless style suits the Bettian Takilan game perfectly.
11. Eri Kurniawan - Perumnasih, age 30, 83 caps, 14 goals
A flying winger who has made plenty of international defences suffer with his trickery and speed. Combine that with the fact that once again he's joined by his team-mates Adi Bandasera and the Busilanta brothers, and you can expect fireworks.
12. Jon Deverill - Butetown Dragons, age 23, 15 caps
A flying winger who has been instrumental in Butetown Dragons' 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.



Forwards:

13. Peri Busilanta - Perumnasih, age 23, 27 caps, 23 goals
14. Andi Busilanta - Perumnasih, age 23, 27 caps, 19 goals
15. Budi Busilanta - Perumnasih, age 23, 25 caps, 19 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 53 of Bettia's 81, goals in World Cup 33 and it's fair to say they'll be in amoungst the goals again during this tournament.
16. Evan Miranda - Akani Sands, age 17, 7 caps, 3 goals
Another in the long line of youngsters who have shot through the ranks, Miranda made his debut at the tender age of 15 during AOCAF 19 where he more than aquitted himself well despite one or two dodgy team performances. Like the other new boys, he may find it tough to get the break he needs, but when he does he'll be sure to take it.
17. Sonny Sabitha - Gabalfa Rovers, age 27, 50 caps, 23 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 23, 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.

The grounds likely to be used are:

The Sir Kenneth Kendall Stadium, Bellstead – 45,000 capacity ultramodern glass-encrusted corporodome and the home ground of Great Bellstead, one of the traditional giants in the Wentland game; Bellstead is part of the Warplands, but at the foot of the Warp Mountains and therefore far more genteel – with the exception of the rough district of Alumgreen

Rock Road, Bellstead – 16,000 capacity ground of multiple cells and home to tiny Alumgreen; used for the more lairy matches as they are known to be a fairly active crowd

The Garrison, Royal Heath – 41,000 concrete bowl that has not been updated for forty years; the cash-strapped Heathens tend to spend all money on the players; another one notorious for a killer atmosphere

Warplands Stadium, Warpstone – the closest to a national stadium in Wentland, hosts 60,000; home ground of Warpstone; part of the twisted volcanic Warplands twists

King’s Reach, Fleetway – 28,000 capacity folly built by the eccentric multibillionaire publisher owner of Fleetway; noted for a gigantic tower that shines with various odd colours at various odd times; at the top is a massive single floodlight that sweeps the pitch

The Academy, Donington – 22,000 capacity stadium designed after Hellenistic exemplars; all columns and pedestals, part of the University of Donington complex and still home to the Donington Wanderers, whose grey and red kit generally influences the change colours of Wentland

Wentland is a democracy and generally right-leaning, although there are some strong left-wing areas (such as coach Norman Hacker’s home of Maitland), and the anomalous philosophical region of Crowhurst, which however is cold-shouldered in the rule of Hacker; the country is made up historically of two parts, Wentland and the Warplands, which were united way back in the past; Wentland is low-lying but extends to the far north as well as having a base at Vinson in the south polar regions, the Warplands generally occupying mountainous regions with diamond mines providing wealth and with a coastal plain leading to a bay that is sometimes iced-over in winter – hence the Warplands’ dependency on Wentland historically, which cuts it off from the rest of the world

Other RPers can do what they like; and if you want a defector TG me and I’ll see if it fits the RP; interviews also possible intermittently, as I have limited pooter access at present

Milchama's Roster/Way of Life/RPing Possibilities/Etcetera

Let's start with the point of the roster post, The Roster:

Style +3 in the traditional 3-3-4 formation
Coach: Damian Hill- Son of Casaran crazy Vivica Hill, Damian built a fortress for the Milchamians and probably ruined their chances in the group stage with his crazy antics. He is insane and will try to win at all costs (please Rp this).

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 his 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.

Not one change from last cup which is odd for a Hill.

Notes on Milchama:
1. We're a highly militaristic society (just look at our name in Hebrew). Although I guess the citizens can be quite nice to foreigners but there is a certain cutthroatness to everything.
2. Milchamians live in a society of competing competing kibbutzes (or socialist communes) that means that every city competes with every other city for goods and services while maintaining full employment.
3. We're Jewish. And pround of it, most Milchamians are pretty religious so with Saturdays and Passover possibly during this World Cup don't do dumb things, please.
4. Here's the wiki link for any thing else you might want to know: The Wiki (http://ns.goobergunch.net/wiki/index.php/Milchama)

What this means for you:
Probably nothing unless you're describing a diarists experience in Milchama but the football we play is usually the same quick defender and midfielder play gets the ball to the outside strikers who cross or the midfielders cut inside and play for through balls to the strikers or they shoot.

Please note that the Rouge-et-Noirs will perform the ulek (http://ns.goobergunch.net/wiki/index.php/Ulek) at the beginning of each match.

For more information on the team, see here (http://ns.goobergunch.net/wiki/index.php/Ariddia%27s_football_team).

For background detail on Ariddia and for stadia, see this post (http://forums.jolt.co.uk/showpost.php?p=12404053&postcount=3) (includes what visitors can do in their free time) and/or the NSwiki article on Ariddia (http://ns.goobergunch.net/wiki/index.php/Ariddia).

Visitors should note that Ariddians are generally friendly and hospitable, but have a few cultural particularities which may appear surprising to outsiders. Ariddians are, on the whole, highly educated, and may sometimes appear arrogant; this is due to a cultural emphasis on thinking before you speak, and on knowing what you're talking about.

Ariddians do not react negatively to public displays of affection (including homosexual affection), nor to public nudity. Visitors with conservative attitudes should bear this in mind.

Bringing meat (including fish, animal gelatine and any meat-derived product) into the country is strictly forbidden, and may result in immediate deportation or arrest. There is no immunity for visiting football players on this issue. Harming an animal in Ariddia (including insects) may result in arrest and a lengthy sentence of prison and community service. Again, there is no immunity for foreign football players.

The weather in summer is mostly hot and humid, with frequent showers. There are no particular health risks. Ariddia's healthcare system is exceptionally good (despite Ariddia being a Third World country), and cheap for foreigners (free for Ariddians).

The national languages are French, Wymgani and English; many Ariddians are fluent in all three. Most Ariddians are also fluent in a couple of foreign languages.

Defections

I am willing to have one or more of my players defect. [not applicable: host nation]
I allow players from other teams to defect into my country. Y


What makes Ariddia attractive (or not) to potential defectors?
Ariddia is a democracy, whose leaders are elected via direct univeral suffrage. Direct democracy plays an important role on a local level. All important national laws are submitted to referendum.

Ariddia is a multi-ethnic, multi-cultural society, renowned for its tolerance and inclusiveness. Immigrants must of course abide by Ariddia's laws, and respect Ariddian core values, but there is no obligation to assimilate. On the contrary, Ariddia values its diversity.

There is freedom of expression, freedom of the press, and freedom of worship. All major religions are present, although an overwhelming majority of Ariddians are atheists.

Ariddia is a peaceful, stable country, where there is no threat of civil or foreign war.

Ariddia's education system and healthcare system are excellent.

All persons residing permanently in Ariddia have full and free access to all the necessities of life: healthcare, housing, food, water, etc... There is no homelessness, no poverty, no hunger. Ariddian culture places a strong emphasis on solidarity and mutual caring.

Possible downsides: Ariddia is a socialist society. There is no private enterprise. This is not the place to come to if you want to become rich. In fact, money has no meaning at all: Ariddia's society is moneyless. Immigrants will have to adapt to Ariddia's system of free sharing of all ressources. This may entail something of a "culture shock" at first.

Interviews.

I would like to take part in interview RPs. Y
Name a media organisation(s) or individuals willing to interview foreign players, officials, and/or supporters:

World Cup Preview; Kiryu-shi's Look Ahead to the Premier Football Tournament

By Michio Hibbert, Illustrations By David Reyes.

Cafundó do Juta, Cafundéu As Kiryu-shi dominates the group stage of the Baptism of Fire with seven wins and no losses or draws, fans are looking past the small tournament to Kiryu-shi's chances in the World Cup. As a first time squad, both young and inexperienced, Kiryu-shi most likely will be mediocre at best, but will try to advance to the knock-out portion of the tournament. Kiryu-shi has played a 5-4-1 formation thus far, and reports say that they will continue with the defense-oriented formation. Most of their attack comes from the wings, while the defensive line is strongest right in front of the goal.

____The Kiryu-shi Football Alliance kept with Bruce Lewis, the long time head coach of Sakaino University's football team to manage during the World Cup. Lewis has a reputation of developing young football players into stars, the reason why he was chosen to head the extremely young team. Lewis was given full responsibility for choosing the starters and the assistant coaches, while the members of the national team were picked by the KFA. Although most of the members were part of the KFA league last year, in order to play for the national team they had to give up their contracts with their team, enabling them to fully dedicate themselves to training with their new teammates. These players are the mostly the youngest and brightest stars that Kiryu-shi has to offer, with relatively little veteran leadership and experience, a fact that critics of the KFA were fast to jump on. However, with approximately six months of training with Lewis at the Sakaino University campus, most of the people who attended the open practice sessions left raving about the fast growth of the players as a complete team, and the performance in Cafundéu has left little to complain about. Under Lewis, Kiryu-shi's young players are truly thriving and working well together.

____One of the initial concerns within the KFA was the inability to provide the team with the specially designed kits that they had planned to use in international play. While the first couple of games in Cafundéu were played with only the plain black and white training kits available, in the latter games the Kiryu-shi players decided to stay with the training uniforms because of the winning streak, and the KFA decided to allow the official uniforms become plain white while home and plain black while away. The white uniforms can also be used while away if the home team has a black uniform. Depictions of the uniforms can be seen in the player illustrations.

____The home stadium that Kiryu-shi will be using is located at coach Bruce Lewis’s school Sakaino University, as the professional stadium’s are going to have KFA matches scheduled. It is a small stadium, holding just under 21 thousand fans, but it is new and well maintained. The stadium is located in a small college town in the pleasant South Western area of Kiryu-shi, known for it’s mild climate and wineries.

____The defections that have been brought up so often in discussions around the world in relation to the World Cup don’t appear to impact Kiryu-shi players, as they have the freedom to leave Kiryu-shi any time they want, and Kiryu-shi maintains an open border policy with any and everybody.

The projected starters are:
GK
Jon Crow (http://i80.photobucket.com/albums/j163/otnekstem/Kiryu-shi/crow.jpg)-#1-6’3”-22 years old
The eccentric goalkeeper of Kiryu-shi is known for his whacky hair and spindly, flexible body. He has great instinct as a keeper, but still has difficulty with proper positioning. He is a vocal player, leading his defense line well. In the Baptism of Fire, he has allowed three goals through seven games, although he's rarely been challenged.

DF
Matthew Pruet (http://i80.photobucket.com/albums/j163/otnekstem/Kiryu-shi/pruett.jpg)-#3-5’11”-27 years old
One of the most solid defenders on the team, he takes charge of the defensive line from the center-back position. Pruet aggressively clears loose balls inside the penalty area and has a strong and accurate kick. He lacks first-class speed, and looks lost when playing outside of his zone. He takes the most free kicks from the defensive half. He has been the steadiest player in the Baptism of Fire thus far, earning praise from coach Bruce Lewis. He is co-captain.

Bob Moya (http://i80.photobucket.com/albums/j163/otnekstem/Kiryu-shi/goya.jpg)-#5-6’2”-24 years old
A terrific one on one defender, he is often used to neutralize star attackers. He is never caught out of position and is very technically sound. However, he is not a tremendously gifted athlete, lacking speed, durability and a strong kick. He is prone to injury, although he often plays through the pain. He has stayed healthy during the Baptism of Fire, playing all of every match thus far in the strong back line.

Doug LeBlanc (http://i80.photobucket.com/albums/j163/otnekstem/Kiryu-shi/leblanc.jpg)-#2-5’8”-23 years old
What he lacks in knowledge and quick thinking he makes up for in speed and pure athletic ability. He plays especially well with Pruet. He is the fastest player for Kiryu-shi and has a strong, if not that accurate, kick. He is very loud and passionate, and will be involved in a lot of physical play, accumulating cards but also drawing fouls from the opposing side. His attacking skills are decent, and is very useful on counter attacks. However, especially when he is not playing with Pruet, he will be caught out of position and will suffer many mental lapses resulting in opposing chances. He has scored a goal in the Baptism of Fire, and has also committed the most fouls on the team thus far.

Isaac Levi (http://i80.photobucket.com/albums/j163/otnekstem/Kiryu-shi/levi.jpg)-#7-5’10”-17 years old
The youngest and least experienced starter on Kiryu-shi’s squad, his ability to move the ball up the sidelines is key in the team’s wing-oriented strategy. He shows impressive ability in intercepting passes and ball-handling. He has stamina issues, and is not as strong as a premier player should be. He can be knocked off the ball. His passing abilities are still lacking, and is one of the only players who tries to dribble before passing. Lacks scoring and shooting ability. He sprints well, Has extremely good distance and accuracy on his throws, and will take most of the throws from his side. Relatively quiet during the Baptism of Fire, he's been a steady part of the team.

Sidney Hendrickson (http://i80.photobucket.com/albums/j163/otnekstem/Kiryu-shi/hendrickson.jpg)-#12-5’11-22 years old
Originally an attacking midfielder, his talents stealing the ball made it obvious to move him to the defensive line, where he is one of the key parts of Kiryu-shi’s team. He is fast and very effective on the outside, and is never hurt. He has a scoring touch, and is effective as an offensive weapon dashing into the box from the wing. Can beat certain defenders one on one with his quick feet. He lacks a strong kick and plays balls in the air very poorly. Plays up and down the field, and is well-conditioned. Although he hasn't been utilized in attack as much as coach Bruce Lewis would like in the Baptism of Fire thus far, he's managed to contribute with big stops on defense.

MF
Gregory Iverson (http://i80.photobucket.com/albums/j163/otnekstem/Kiryu-shi/iverson.jpg)-#15-6’4”-18 years old
A surprise starter in the defensive midfield is a favorite of the coach due to his meticulous preparation and imposing size. Although he is not especially skilled in any one area, and is probably the slowest starting player, his size and strength are intimidating in the middle of the field. He can pass and receive passes well, and has a hard kick. Will take long shots once in a while. Is effective on corners, both defending and attacking. He is a good leader, and has been predicted by some that with maturity, will develop into the eventual captain of the national team. Although Iverson has faced competition for the starting job in the Baptism of Fire, recent solid matches have solidified his position as a starter.

Pat Mayberry (http://i80.photobucket.com/albums/j163/otnekstem/Kiryu-shi/mayberry.jpg)-#8-5’11”-25 years old
The most well-known player on Kiryu-shi’s national team, is unquestionably the best all-around player from his right side half-back position. He can dominate matches at times, using his speed and awareness to create opportunities to score for his team. He holds his own defensively. His accurate and strong passes from the wing can create goals. He can beat defenders one on one, and is very fast. He is not that big, and can be out-muscled. When he is really focused, he seems to be able to take the ball up the side, penetrate into the penalty area and score at will in league matches. He never takes set pieces. He is co-captain of the national team. He has been the playmaker in the Baptism of Fire thus far, contributing with goals and assists, and really making a difference in the midfield.

Giancario Diamanti (http://i80.photobucket.com/albums/j163/otnekstem/Kiryu-shi/diamanti.jpg)-#20-5’11-19 years old
Possibly the worst all-around starter, had been compared to a younger Mayberry at age 17. Has yet to develop the explosiveness and awareness that Mayberry possesses, although he is technically very sound, and will rarely make an outright mistake. Doesn't create opportunities, but positions himself well. He is very ingressive. He doesn't take the ball away from opponents, but can stall them. It is predicted that he will not finish most games, with the veteran Jared Goodman backing him up. Early speculation that Goodman would start for Diamanti has quieted with overall team success, but Diamanti is still the weakest player in the tournament.

Hellen Gandy (http://i80.photobucket.com/albums/j163/otnekstem/Kiryu-shi/gandy.jpg)-#9-5’6”-23 years old
Led league play in goals last year, as the teammate of Pat Mayberry. Has very precise and accurate kicks, both passing and shooting. Will take all free kicks within scoring distance for Kiryu-shi, as well as penalty kicks. Despite her size, she has the ability to score on crosses and corners, judging balls in the air very well. She does not have the best speed or ability to dribble past players, but uses positioning and passes to set up goal scoring opportunities. Is a liability defensively, and will rarely help to try to win back the ball. Although Gandy suffered a high ankle sprain in the Baptism of Fire, she should be able to play by the opening of the World Cup. She has been a major part of the national team's success thus far.

FW
Garret McGee (http://i80.photobucket.com/albums/j163/otnekstem/Kiryu-shi/mcgee.jpg)-#11-6’2”-26 years old-The only forward starting for the national team, is nationally known for his acrobatic jumping ability. He plays his position very solidly, and shows the ability to see the whole pitch very well. Has an accurate strike, and the attacking, shoot-first mentality to make great use of it. The excitement over the Mayberry to McGee combination is highly anticipated in many of Kiryu-shi’s soccer fans. McGee’s ability to score using his head, literally, routinely makes it on the highlights of Kiryu-shi’s sports television stations. He has a tendency to use his elbows and arms to create space for himself, and will get called on it often.

THE ARCHREGIMANCY BRINGS YOU

THE ARCHREGIMANCY WC 33 SQUAD

We all know the recent Archregimancy World Cup pattern by now.... The team will blitz through qualification, quite possibly topping its group over the first seed, and then do poorly in the tournament proper, at best making the second round (only exception: WC28 quarterfinalists). The only exception will come if the squad are top seeds in qualifying, in which case the Lord will Smite them for their lack of humility, forcing them to either struggle badly or miss qualification entirely (see WC29). <sigh> - and all this after those oh-so-close 'fail on the very last day' first three attempts at qualification in World Cups 24-26.

Soul-strengthening suffering is what monastic life is all about.

That said, the Monastic Football Association have decided to give the WC33 squad another chance, as they feel the squad aren't entirely to blame for failing to reach the second round in Az-cz due to that infamous blindfolded first round fiasco where they narrowly lost out on goal difference to those commendably nature oriented - but worringly secular - footballers from Errinundera.

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


COACH
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 continues his welcome comeback into a second consecutive cup. Surely the news of his return has the heathen nations shaking in their [football] boots?

Fr. Innocent of Ariddia – Formerly Aew Oj, this recent convert and indigenous Ariddian was brought into the team as part of the WC33 international recruitment drive, and promptly moved to centre-forward. Little-known outside Ariddia and the Archregimancy, will Fr. Innocent come good this year?


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 was also been a regular fixture of the pre-WC33 anonymous squads. Anonymously, of course.

Fr. Barsanuphius the Strong – One of two WC33 recruits from Bazalonia, this powerful central midfielder has formed a strong central midfield partnership with…

Fr. John the Jaffle Maker – 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?

Fr. 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, he now turns out for the national side, though he still 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 second time in a row, Fr. Constantine is a natural choice for captain and projects an almost imperial presence at the heart of defence.

Fr. Nicholas the Unmercenary – Again 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.

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


SUBS –
If you need them, make them up. Feel free to be imaginative - though remember that first names should be those of Orthodox saints (if you get stuck, just use the names of the 12 apostles and/or 4 gospel writers).


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

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:

STADIUM:

For this qualifying campaign, the Dreamed Stadium of the Grand Lavra shall take the form of.....

The Garden of Gethsemane surrounded by an 80,000 capacity stadium artfully concealed in the surrounding hills. Olive trees are used to both conceal the seats and shade each team's bench, yet in such a cunning way so as to provide unrestricted sight lines to everyone attending the match. As the following view taken from high up in the south stand across to the north stand - and the Church of St. Mary Magdelene up behind the simple concrete seating - proves, the casual observer might be forgiven for missing the fact that there's a football ground there at all!

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. Contrary to popular opinion, the full liturgy is not used as the national anthem at away games, where the team merely contents itself with singing a brief round of 'hallelujahs'.

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 of 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.

CAFUNDÉU RELEASES THE OFFICIAL LIST OF PLAYERS FOR THE 34th WORLD CUP

Style: +2 (offensive)

(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. After two successful campaign, the confederation is hoping for a calm qualification, although declared that this will probably be difficult to happen. The CCFM also thinks that the country can win even more points in the World Cup if it qualify.

Cafundéu know that the results still aren’t predictable, but is confident. David Nefasto is the new coach of the National Team, and made some changes in the list.

See the list of the 23 players:

Goalkeepers:

1-Luís Octávio Andrade JÚNIOR (Team: A.F.F.)
Height: 205cm - Weight: 85kg – Age: 21 years old
The “slim barrier”, as he is called, was deserving a call up for a long time. And now, after Júlio Vargas retired from professional football, he’ll have the chance to play in the National Team, and as a starter. He had some wonderful seasons playing for A.F.F., and is known as a calm and concentrated goalkeeper, who can save penalties and is in the right place in the right moment. His reflexes are also excellent. He is a bit unexperienced, but the coach thinks that this isn’t a problem.
Rating: A - Team Relationship: B - Morale: B - Form: A

12-Sérgio Polagrossa "DUREPOX" (Team: Cafundó do Juta)
Height: 200cm - Weight: 85kg – Age: 30 years old
Durepox was recently signed by Petardos S/A to replace the retired goalkeeper Júlio Vargas, and continues 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.
Rating: B - Team Relationship: A - Morale: A - Form: A

PLAYED WC 33

22-Ney MATOGROSSO (Team: CR Submiria)
Height: 196cm - Weight: 100kg – Age: 25 years old
Ney Matogrosso plays in a average team of the first division of the league. He is a good goalkeeper, good in one on ones, but poor in saving free kick and in leaving the goal. But he usually plays very well in important games. Some players think that he is strange, as he has makes some strange rituals before the games and wears one boot of each color during the game. He also has a strange hairstyle.
Rating: C - Team Relationship: C - Morale: A - Form: B

Right and Left Defenders:

2-Bruno COVAS (Team: Ranca Toco)
Height: 183cm - Weight: 81kg – Age: 24 years old
Covas is a very solid right-back, known for his regular performances and intelligent tackles. He also has a very good passing ability, and is good in crossings. He doesn’t have much speed, but can create wise plays. He can even score some goals in long range shots. After many years playing in Ranca Toco, he finally has a chance to show all his talent to the world. Sometimes he makes some violent fouls, but in most times he is a calm person. He is in good form.
Rating: B - Team Relationship: B - Morale: B - Form: A

3-Ray KIRS (Team: Petardos S/A)
Height: 173cm - Weight: 70kg – Age: 31 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.
Rating: A - Team Relationship: B - Morale: B - Form: A

PLAYED WC 33

18-Leonardo Macedo de Mattos "LÉO MATTOS" (Team: A.F.F.)
Height: 168cm – Weight: 72kg – Age: 18 years old
A fast, intelligent and offensive full-back, who can play in both sides of the field, although he prefers the right side. He lacks some defensive abilities, so he suits better in an offensive strategy, as he is very fast and has good passing and shooting abilities. He is very young, so is still unexperienced. This competition will be a chance for him to improve more, as he is considered one of the best prospects of Cafundéu.
Rating: C – Team Relationship: A – Morale: B– Form: B

23-José Carlos San Montenegro "ZÉ CARLOS" (Team: SC Lasft)
Height: 173cm - Weight: 70kg – Age: 22 years old
Another young and versatile full back, Zé Carlos has already some international experience, but the World Cup will surely be his most important competition. Very defensive, he can play even as a central defender, but can start some plays with his good long-ranged passes. He likes to stay in the defense, only going to the attack when there isn’t chances of mistakes. His last games weren’t too good.
Rating: C - Team Relationship: B - Morale: B - Form: C

Central Defenders:

4-João Chico Tripa de Boi "BECÃO" (Team: Ranca Toco)
Height: 190cm - Weight: 102kg – Age: 30 years old
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 now the official captain of the team. Talks a lot in the media and is a hero in his team. He is considered the second strongest player in Cafundéu and one of the most determined too.

6-SÁVIO FERRARI Andrada (Team: Petardos S/A)
Height: 176cm - Weight: 76kg – Age: 28 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.

13-Pedro Jorge Nascimento "ALEMÃO" (Team: Central United)
Height: 192cm – Weight: 98kg – Age: 23 years old
Another player that got some success recently, Alemão’s call up was a surprise, as he still didn’t have enough games played in a major team to show all his ability. But he is happy with this situation and wants to use his good defensive abilities, his strength and his good heading ability to help the National Team. Can be the starter of the NT if continues improving.
Rating: C – Team Relationship: A – Morale: B – Form: B

20-Sandro NAMARRA (Team: Ranca Toco)
Height: 171cm - Weight: 73kg – Age: 27 years old
Namarra is already a very experienced played, who already played many games for the National Team. After many years, he’ll have another chance to play for Cafundéu. He isn’t violent, is very good defensively, but poor in the attack, so he’ll probably stay in the defense during all the game. He also is one of the most professional players of the team, and can even be the captain sometimes.
Rating: B - Team Relationship: C - Morale: A - Form: A

Defensive Midfielders:

5-Mukulaiê Bakarangobadah Zulaiêká "ANORMAL" (Team: SC Lasft)
Height: 220cm - Weight: 132kg – Age: 23 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: Cafundó do Juta)
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-Gabriel Pereira BARBOSA (Team: Dunboor FC)
Height: 178cm - Weight: 77kg – Age: 25 years old
Barbosa was just a reserve player of Dunboor FC until the injury of De Bois. He entered, and didn't leave. He is extremely good at creating plays, and is a good dribbler. His defensives abilities are good too, but he often attacks and doesn’t goes back to the defense to help. Now he went to the National Team, and wants to make the same thing that he did in Dunboor FC, slowly becoming a starter of the team.
Rating: C - Team Relationship: A - Morale: B - Form: A

Neutral Midfielders:

10-Carlos FALCUS (Team: Petardos S/A)
Height: 168cm – Weight: 65kg – Age: 25 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. Now that he is one of the key players of Petardos S/A’s team, he is famous and respected by everybody.

Dário was one of the “Galáxia SC wonders”, five players of the Fourth Division team that surprised the country. Danilo Sampa, Flecha, Bartolomeu and Neco stayed on Galáxia SC, and some new “wonderkids” appeared there, but Dário was the only one that left. Now, in Atlético Jutense, he is having very good performances, using all his scoring and dribbling ability to help the team, and went to the National Team. He is also good at passes and set pieces, but isn’t good at defending. But he won’t be a starter, as Falcus is being a key player of the team recently.

Attacking Midfielders:

7-Ricardo Steppt KLIEK (Team: Dunboor FC)
Height: 166cm - Weight: 68kg – Age: 24 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.

Height: 177cm - Weight: 74kg – Age: 29 years old
Considered the best player of Tênis Clube for many years, Gaúcho had some difficulties to change clubs. After paying a huge release clause, Cafundó do Juta was able to sign with him, which make him go to the National Team. He has good vision and positioning, which compensate some flaws that he has on his technique. He also is very intelligent and can start some good plays, but he didn’t score many goals. His team mates usually like him and the press doesn’t give much attention to him.

Height: 188cm - Weight: 92kg – Age: 29 years old
With his fast plays, good dribbles and strong shots, Kimball 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, and how he can change the fate of the game.

Best goalscorer of the league ever 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.

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.

19-Fabrício KEMP (Team: Petardos S/A)
Height: 181cm - Weight: 83kg – Age: 23 years old
After some excellent seasons in Supersônicos, Kemp was loaned to EC Elville. There, he became the top goalscorer of last season’s league, defeating even the legends Ganz Ijak, Renário and Coqueiral. After that season, Petardos S/A got interested in his talent and bought him. He is still young, so he has lots of things to learn, but is already considered one of the best attackers of the country. He is an excellent header and good at assists, so he can help the more lethal strikers to score their goals. He’ll probably be starter in some games, depending of his performances on the trainings.

21-RENÁRIO de Arruda Santos (Team: Ranca Toco)
Height: 162cm – Weight: 71kg – Age: 32 years old
A legend who isn’t in good form and is unfit. 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. He can play in the second half, and has a great chance to score some goals.

Twenty years ago, Nefasto finished his physical education studies, and became the physical trainer of minor teams of the country. He wasn’t a professional player, something uncommon to Cafundéu coaches. But his talent is known, and everyone knows that he can make a very good job in the National Team, as he did on Dunboor FC in the last three years as the coach of the team, transforming a average team of the league in one of the best teams of the country. He likes to work with young players and likes to make many changes in the formations, so changes can happen in Cafundéu’s NT.

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.

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.

The Directors:

Director of the NT: MR. Erasmo Carlos JOWENGUARD
Age: 81 years old - Time in the job: 16 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: 61 years old - Time in the job: 5 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.

Background Detail: Cafundéu doesn't have strange costumes and nothing too absurd happens there. But please note that in Cafundéu you'll have to pay for almost everything. You'll have to pay for the water, food, transport, products, to walk in the road, to receive an answer about something, to complain, to thank, and many other things. Cafundéu also is looking to profit with these qualifiers, so any country with good economy is free to invest here or buy some of our products. Drugs are prohibited and the laws are very strict. The prisons are horrible and the prisoners live in bad conditions, but they have the right to watch the games in Carandirú City for free. Cafundéu's press is also very annoying, as they'll make everything to get some news. More detail in my NSWiki (about government).

Stadiums Used: Cafundéu has many stadiums that are in good conditions to be used for the World Cup qualifiers. But 8 were chosen and can host the competition, although only the 4 first ones will surely be used. The others will only used depending of the number of games played. Here are the cities:

Cafundó do Juta: capital of the country, is a big metropolis, with many things to do, good nightlife and shops, and also many tourist points. The police are well funded and is important for the economy of the country. The stadium is very nice and has excellent infrastructure, and is often used for other events, as shows. It also is close of the Bovecaf, Cafundéu’s stock market’s main building.
Climate: warm and wet(high rain probability).
Stadium: Praça Maior.
Capacity: 150,000.
Infrastructure: *****

Abadia: this city is known for its strange division of neighborhoods. Each neighborhood has a respective leader, which represents it in the city hall. And most leaders represent a family. These families are very powerful in the city and control almost everything. The city is very big, but has some old traditions that are still unchanged. A.F.F.’s stadium will be used in the BoF. It’s very big and modern, as it was recently finished.
Climate: warm and wet(medium rain probability).
Stadium: Terreno da Vitória
Capacity: 100,000.
Infrastructure: ****

Lux: has the highest IDH in the country and one of the highest in the world. So, it’s considered one of the best cities to live. It has good security, education and healthcare, but nothing very interesting to tourists. The stadium is very modern, but isn’t one of the biggest of the country.
Climate: cold and wet(medium rain probability).
Stadium: Arena do Imperador.
Capacity: 60,000.
Infrastructure: *****

Lasft: second biggest city of the country, Lasft is more beautiful than Cafundó do Juta, since it’s on the seaside. People from around the world come to Lasft every year because of its beaches and businesses. It also is the headquarters of the CCFM. The stadium is the most beautiful of the country, with clean bathrooms and an organized restaurant.
Climate: hot and wet(medium rain probability).
Stadium: Obelisco Monumental.
Capacity: 100,000.
Infrastructure: *****

Central City: as the name says, this city is located in the centre of the country. It has one of the biggest airports of the country and has a chaotic traffic. As the city is located in an area of mountains, it has many tunnels. Its altitude is very high, so some players can have difficulties in playing in this city, as they can lose breath very fast. The stadium is located in the rich part of the city.
Climate: cold and dry(low rain probability).
Stadium: Toca do Tatu.
Capacity: 85,000.
Infrastructure: *****

Carandirú City: this city was very interesting in the past, but now it’s only used to hold prisoners. Cafundéu’s army is located there, too. It’s the prison city, but is very safe and has many exotic food shops. The stadium is located inside the main prison of the city, and most of the prisoners see the games.
Climate: hot and dry(low rain probability).
Stadium: Presídio.
Capacity: 75,000.
Infrastructure: ****

Dunboor: this city is big, but it isn’t too visited by tourists, because of its very cold weather. But it’s good for business and has the biggest mines of the country are in Dunboor. So, it’s jewelry and coal factories are the most important of the country. During the winter (it’s autumn now), it snows nearly everyday in Dunboor. The supporters there like to bring musical instruments to the stadium.
Climate: extremely cold and dry(low rain probability).
Stadium: Maracatu Arena.
Capacity: 90,000.
Infrastructure: *****

Astari: another economic centre, is the home of two of the biggest companies of Cafundéu: the C-Electronics and the Uranium Kings. Businesses are constant there and the nightlife is very good. It’s called the “city of colourful lights”, as the public lights are of many colours. Its roads are very interesting too. Most games in this stadium will be played at night.
Climate: extremely hot and wet(high rain probability).
Stadium: C-Electronics Stadium.
Capacity: 80,000.
Infrastructure: ****

RP Storylines: three things can happen during Cafundéu's games (before, after or during):

1- A Cafundéu scout can get interested in an opponent player and send an offer for him to play in Cafundéu.

2- The spy, Pai Oxossi de Guibar Dinah, can try to discover someone's future (if this person asks for it), or can discover something strange in the city that Cafundéu is staying. Serginho Mallandro will try to make a joke about these things when it's possible, as he doesn't believe in Pai Dinah.

3- The president of CCFM, Samuel Makas, made an agreement with many big companies of Cafundéu, which will try to advert their products in all countries that Cafundéu will go.

Landau Institute's selected players for the World Cup 34:

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. The players are the same from World Cup 33 (2 years older).

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: 25 years old
Years in the Institute: 14

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: 34 years old
Years in the Institute: 27

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: 32 years old
Years in the Institute: 4

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: 29 years old
Years in the Institute: 13

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: 23 years old
Years in the Institute: 20

14- BERGUE: Bergue forgot everything that happened in his life before going to the Institute, even his age and name. Apart from this, he is a normal person, and is learning many things from the doctors. When playing, he can be used in both wings in the field, and is very good at tackling and at passing.
Age: who knows?
Years in the Institute: 15

16- Manoel Arnaldo ANTUNES: Antunes is very fat, and has to take many medicines to control his weight. The doctors discovered that he started to eat after suffering from intense stress and he can't stop to eat anymore. When playing, Antunes doesn't run very much, but is great at tackling and in long passes.
Age: 26 years old
Years in the Institute: 8

Centre-Backs:

3- Carlos Eduardo GODÓI: Godói thinks that he is a very famous person, and when he is playing he thinks that most of the supporters that are in the stadium are his fans. As a defender, he is very competent and is a good leader, although isn't the captain.
Age: 25 years old
Years in the Institute: 11

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: 28 years old
Years in the Institute: 24

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: 19 years old
Years in the Institute: 5

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.
Age: 24 years old
Years in the Institute: 7

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: 29 years old
Years in the Institute: 17

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: 20 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: 20 years old
Years in the Institute: since birth

22- Jairo MONTEIRO: Monteiro likes to collect. Everything. Everytime he is looking for something to collect, and can even steal or do something wrong to get what he wants. In the position of defensive midfielder, he is very good at tackling and marking, and can play as a defender.
Age: 27 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: 37 years old
Years in the Institute: 22

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: 30 years old
Years in the Institute: 20

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: 22 years old
Years in the Institute: 6

18- Selênio CÉSAR NOBRE: César Nobre is hypochondriac, taking lots of medicines even when he doesn't need any. He also avoids physical contact with other players, fearing that he gets a disease in this contact. But when he is playing he forget about that and play using all his speed and dribbling ability.
Age: 23 years old
Years in the Institute: 22

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: 27 years old
Years in the Institute: 24

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: 28 years old
Not in the Institute anymore - Plays for Petardos S/A (Cafundéu)

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: 24 years old
Years in the Institute: 5

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: 19 years old
Years in the Institute: 18

COACH: Doctor Vittorio Mendonça: After being arrested in Bazalonia during the last Baptism of Fire and being substituted by Doctor Haroldo Sassarel during the World Cup 33 qualifiers, Doctor Mendonça is now out of the prison and ready to return to the command of the National Team. Sassarel will probably return to the Be Calm television sports program. Estresse Intenso now has an experienced coach again.
Age: 70 years old

Landau also sent many other doctors to help the team, working as physical trainer, spy, doctor and other jobs.

Background Detail: The teams that will play in Estresse Intenso probably won't go outside the Landau Insitute. Outside the Institute (located in an enormous island in the capital city, Insanis) life is difficult, and the anarchists got the control of the country. The president and governors have no authority, and the police doesn't make nothing. The people can make whatever they want, so criminality is a real problem, and gangs fight for the control of the best places of the cities. There are lots of office buildings, that have their own security (to fight the gangs). Inside the office buildings, people work in exchange of shelter and food. They have to work nearly 16 hours per day. The work is extremely tough, and most of the workers become crazy, succumbing to the stress. These people go to the Landau Institute, to be treated by Landau's doctors. A much better place to live. The Landau Institute is more modern than the other parts of the country and has extreme security and good life conditions. Unfortunately for the patients, they don't have much freedom there. They have to take strong medicines and have to follow a strict routine. The doctors have the political power there, and are trying to help the patients. The leader of the Landau Institute is Doctor Rogério Landau. Inside the Institute, people receive food, can have fun and can get some assistance for everything, without having to make nothing. The players and staff of the visitor teams will have the same rights, but will have to follow the Institute's routine (without having to take medicines).

So, this would be the division of the society:

Outside the Institute:

Upper Classes: Office Buildings Presidents and Gang Leaders
Middle-Upper Classes: Government leaders (including the president), Office Buildings directors and famous gang members
Middle Classes: Government members, Office Buildings representatives and gang members
Middle-Lower Classes: Office Buildings workers and gang recruits
Lower Classes: Free people and crazy people (not in the Institute)

Inside the Institute:

Upper Classes: Doctor Rogério Landau and his main assistants
Middle-Upper Classes: Doctors
Middle Classes: Nurses and students
Middle-Lower Classes: Patients
Lower Classes: Hired workers

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Stadiums Used: Estresse Intenso has only one stadium inside the Landau Institute:

The Sector-Delta Sporting Field, in Insanis: located in a special basement inside the Landau Institute, the Sector-Delta Sporting Field is an excellent field, perfect for football. The patients don't have access to the field, only the players, staff and the referee. The supporters need to watch the game by a giant television screen located in a special room.
Not affected by climate changes
Has no capacity (the special room is giant, and can hold 200,000,000 people)

Defections:

I am willing to have one or more of my players defect. N
I allow other nations to have one or more of my players defect to their country. N
I allow players from other teams to defect into my country. N

People can only go to Estresse Intenso if they become crazy while in the country.

Northern Bettia World Cup 34 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 (+3), utilising a highly attacking 2-5-3 / 2-3-5 formation.


Roleplaying

If RPing first, the FANB (Football Association of Northern Bettia)
give our opponents permission to RP / godmod pretty much anything they like.
Given our 'unorthodox' tactics, there will be red and yellow cards aplenty.
Northern Bettian fans are notorious hooligans, with their main gang being
called the Yuna Crew.

I am willing to have one or more of my players defect. N
I allow players from other teams to defect into my country. Y

I would like to take part in interview RPs. Y
Name a media organisation(s) or individuals willing to interview foreign
players, officials, and/or supporters. ANY
Which of your players/officials/ supporters you would be willing to
have interviewed by foreign media? ANY


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)
Although rather basic by modern standards, Sakura Park can still produce a match to remember for fans. Nestled in the eastern suburbs of the capital city, Sakura Park has large banks of terracing at either end with all-seater grandstands lining the two sides.
A few facts about Northern Bettia:
Northern Bettians are well-known for their rowdiness and drunkeness, especially the feared Yuna Crew, a gang of hardcore hooligans who continually aim to make a name for themselves as the hardest firm in the NS-world (usually without much success).
Northern Bettia is environmentally a bit of a mess, with the interim government more concerned with bolstering miltary strength than cleaning up. A number of Northern Bettia's sporting teams are made up of military personnel who play football part-time, as are a few of the Fire Ants squad.
Northern Bettians love football so much that giant screens are now a permanent fixture in many cities and towns.
Some interesting and not-so-interesting facts about Northern Bettia can be found at the Northern Bettia Wiki (http://ns.goobergunch.net/wiki/index.php/Northern_Bettia)




Manager:
Iwan Obani
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.

Team Tactics:
The Fire Ants employ a rather unique tactic in which they attempt to gain the upper hand by getting as many of their opponents sent off as possible, leading many to accuse the Fire Ants of being 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. This style of play, dubbed System Obani by inept tabloid journalists, has had mixed results in the past - it sometimes works well, but when it backfires, it backfires spectacularly.


Goalkeepers:

1. Jon Ozeki - Heart of Anyuna, age 27 - 48 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. An ever-present for the Fire Ants in the last World Cup.
2. Cpt. Jay Hangirushima - First Battalion FC, age 25 - 0 caps
One of the army boys in the squad, Hangirushima swaps yelling at new recruits on the training ground to yelling at his team-mates. A good all-round keeper and an influential player.


Defence:

3. Eric Idasenai - Sharluta Strike, age 32 - 52 caps, 3 goals
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. Wing Sgt. Yanni Negima - BAF Agetegri, age 23 - 0 caps
Another of the many debutants in the Fire Ants squad, Negima is your typical tough-tackling full-back. His crunching tackles have left many a striker in a crumpled heap on the floor. You have been warned...
5. Bobby Betina - Sharluta Strike, age 24 - 0 caps
Another debutant, and a rock in the heart of his team's defence. Betina will be looking to force his way into the starting eleven, even if it means injuring a team-mate to do it.


Midfield:

6. Dan Kyobu - Fortuna Bettialis (Bettia), age 24 - 49 caps, 10 goals (captain)
A young midfield dynamo who's quite handy at both setting up goals from the centre or pushing forward and knocking a few goals in for himself, usually from free kicks. Another speciality of his seems to be baiting his opponents into saying or doing something they shouldn't, usually right in front of the match officials. His vast experience as the team's inspirational playmaker has seen him take over the captain's armband.
7. Marcus Megumi - Fortuna Bettialis (Bettia), age 26 - 38 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 player whose sparkling performances in WC33 saw him earn a move to the Bettian league along with his international teammate Dan Kyobu.
8. Flt. Lt. Ben Sanae - BAF Agetegri, age 22 - 19 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.
9. Frank Seguna - Karia Sharks, age 19 - 0 caps
This teenage prodigy sees himself move into the international frame after producing some solid performances for his club. Definately one for the future.


Wingers:

10. Jon Sakasayou - Minini City, age 21 - 34 caps, 1 goal
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. However, he has often been the target of many card-happy referees.
11. Mark Noboshine - Takilans Anyuna, age 26 - 31 caps, 5 goals
An exceptionally skilled winger. 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.
12. Tun Akani - Takilans Anyuna, age 22 - 0 caps
A natually gifted player who's equally at home on either flank, a versatile trait that sees him become an important part of this squad, albeit mostly as a substitute.


Forwards:

13. Ola Hiyashibara - Akani Sands (Bettia), age 23 - 52 caps, 35 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. Hiyashibara was the Fire Ants top scorer in World Cup 33, and will be hard pushed not to repeat that success
14. Paul Iyopa - Heart of Anyuna, age 28 - 34 caps, 10 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.
15. Lt. Matt Shukuoka - First Battalion FC, age 28 - 17 caps, 1 goalA talented striker who up until now has found international opportunities hard to come by. However, he now finds himself in the starting eleven thanks to retirements, and Northern Bettia's fans can be sure he'll grasp this chance with both hands.
16. Naru Sonata - Fearless Minini, age 16 - 0 caps
A surprise selection in every sense of the word, not least of all being the first woman to represent any Bettian squad in international competition, something that has the religious leaders in the Blessed Realm a bit rattled. Quick, agile and incredibly cute, she's found that she's quite adept at charming the referee into giving decisions her way.
17. Taro Sunichi - Minini Shockwaves, age 23 - 0 caps
A feared goalpoacher on the domestic scene, Sunichi will be looking to make an impression on the goalscoring charts both at home and abroad.
18. Matt Tarani - Raging Bulls Anyuna, age 18 - 0 caps
Another young debutant who has shown some very promising signs for his club recently. Keep your eye on this one, he could go far.

The GNUs of The HURD

The HURD uses a team of robots of the Schneier-class (replacing the former Nassi-Shneidermann-class robots). 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 robots are not named except for lynx, the trusty Nassi-Shneiderman robot, which (every HURDist would say 'who' here) is a goalkeeper. ELinks is the proposed name of its substitute.

Style: -2

My opponent, if they RP first, may do the following:
Choose my goalscorers Y
Godmod Scoring Events Y
RP injuries to my players Y (they happen quite regular with the faulty preliminary designs, the HURDists then substitute a robot with the same design in or are shorthanded)
Godmod injuries to my players Y
Hand out Yellow cards to my players Y
Hand out Red cards to my players Y
Godmod Other Events Y
Not godmod other events: Y (even though not preferred ;) )

1) Background detail
Te HURD is not really a nation, it is a community of hackers (programmers), enthusiasts, creative-commons-artists and other idealists. Most things in the HURD requiring labour are vastly automated. The few remaining jobs are seen as honor, not as way to make money (which does not exist in the HURD). The HURDists legal code is in a wikiwhich means everyone from the HURD can edit it.

The HURDists home matches will take place in the Thompson University Field, a small stadium (8192 seats) in the biggest city Minasra (the name means: Minasra is not a self-referring acronym). For those who can not find a place, several webstreams (audio only or video in different levels of quality) exist. It is rather weird to get around in the city since among the laws which are constantly in change are the traffic laws. Visitors who do not know a person who can provide accomodation can spend the night in unused rooms at the dormitories of the university.


2) Defections.

I am willing to have one or more of my players defect. N (they are robots)
I allow other nations to have one or more of my players defect to their country. N
I allow players from other teams to defect into my country. Y


3) Interviews.

I would like to take part in interview RPs. y
Name a media organisation(s) or individuals willing to interview foreign players, officials, and/or supporters. Inkatilblog, The Sports Messup (blogs)
Which of your players/officials/ supporters you would be willing to have interviewed by foreign media? The three named staff members


Have a lot of fun!

http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y2/NEWI/SFFsmall.png
SFF announce squad for WC34

TEAM MANAGEMENT

Rodney Lowe [Age 75]
After seven campaigns as the Sloths' team manager, Lowe is now Chief of the SFF after the death of Harvey Alfredo.

Tony Tarmey [Age 53]
Still Schiavonia's all-time top scorer (although only a couple ahead of Colin Chester), Tarmey will be only Schiavonia's second ever manager, taking over from Lowe after being his assistant after World Cup 31. Will hopefully be able to bring fresh inspiration for the team.

GOALKEEPERS

1. Chris Howard (Kingsbury Monarchs [27] 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. Jimmy Fearley (Melston Rovers [24] WC34-)
3. Jim Brenton (Threlo Rovers [22] WC34-)
Schiavonia's two back up keepers. Probably won't get many games in front of the ever-consistent Howard.


DEFENDERS

11. Niall O'Henry (Threlo Rovers [18] WC34-)
Young central defender brought into the squad to gain experience.

12. Noel Fielding (Charles City [35] WC30-)
Former captain Ed's younger brother, Noel has a great natural sense of positioning. He'll know that he has to perform to keep his place.

13. Matthew Tilda (Welkay Lakeside [23] WC33-)
The only new player in the squad last time, "Waltzing" has a great natural reading of the game, giving the Sloths a ready made replacement for the ever inconsistent Tarquin Freud.

14. Carlos Cueto (Atlético Jutense (Cafundéu) [21] WC34-)
Another younger player coming along forte experience, Carlos played for Schiavonia in their recent debut AOCAF appearance.

15. David Jones (Kingsbury Monarchs [22] WC34-)
David Jones has burst onto the Schiavone football scene from relative obscurity. Sometimes even he doesn't seem to know where he's come from, or even where he is. Still, he can play a bit, and can cover in midfield as ball winner or distributor if needed.

16. Andy Bell (Kingsbury Monarchs [27] WC32-)
The battle for a place at right-back is 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.

18. Mike O'Connor (Threlo Rovers [28] WC32-)
Came into the squad as an understudy to Ed Fielding, but never pushed on to the next level. Will be interesting to see if he can perform at this level consistently.

19. Billy Bird (Social Club de Sedgefield [31] WC32-)
Billy is quick going forward, but possibly suspect defensively, something that will give Bell his opportunity.


MIDFIELDERS

21. Paul Moston (Charles City [31] WC32-)
The midfield distributor is very consistent, if unspectacular, in his job. Not a big star name, but then he doesn't need to be.

22. Alan Tiss (Welkay Lakeside [33] 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 [28] WC32-)
Kerr is the second choice ball-winning midfielder, and will more than likely see a fair amount of the action, as Alan Tiss is not only getting on, but can slip easily into any other part of the midfield if need be.

24. Johnny Adams (Cartfield Athletic [22] WC34-)
Young Johnny's position in the squad here definately seems as if he's just here for the ride. He's a young midfield distributor, but with Moston, Tiss and Jones apparently ahead of him in the pecking order, poor Johnny could find himself at a loose end.

25. Isla Blige (Kingsbury Monarchs [24] WC32-)
Isla is the younger sister of Shiela Blige, and is seen as the next big thing in Schiavone football. She takes Will Caine's role as midfield creator, and is quite possibly the most naturally gifted player in the world. If you know what we mean...

26. Graham O'Connor (Threlo Rovers [20] WC34-)
The younger cousin of left-back Mike O'Connor, Graham will find himself behind Isla Blige for the time being. Not that most men would complain about that.


FORWARDS

31. Jerry Berry (Welkay Lakeside [26] 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 Jr. Not that that was difficult. A finisher in the Colin Chester and Tony Tarmey mould, and definitely ready to step into the breach. However, with a legend in the team, opportunities will be scarce.

32. Juan Yates (Social Club de Sedgefield [31] 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 [35 (Captain)] 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, requiring just a couple to pass him.

34. James Hogan (Welkay Lakeside [22] WC34-)
Nicknamed "The Hulk", young James is quite possibly the most powerful strength forward that Schiavonia has ever seen. Standing at over two meters in height and seemingly solid muscle, it will take some stopping this fella. If only he could shoot...

35. Shiela Blige (Kingsbury Monarchs [29] WC32-)
The first female player to appear on a 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. Can run through the legs of Hogan.

36. Frank Lewis (Kingsbury Rocks [22] WC34-)
A more traditional Schiavone forward runner, Lewis is the quickest player in the SchiavOne league. Offers something different to Shiela Blige.

Retiring from the squad are...

Alan Frescoe (GK, Welkay Lakeside [37] WC31-33)
Benji Cuerto (GK, Atletico Unimo [36] WC31-33)
Tarquin Freud (CB, Kingsbury Monarchs [38] WC30-33)
Marco Danzer (CB, Social Club de Sedgefield [37] WC30-33)
Ed Fielding (LB, Charles City [37 (Captain)] WC29-33)
Will Caine (MC, Threlo Rovers [39] WC29-33)
Alex Greene (RW, Threlo Rovers [36] WC30-33)
Graeme Cotten (LW, Threlo Rovers [37] WC30-33)
Arran Di Chula (FS, Atletico Unimo [39] WC30-33)

After just one retirement last cup, a whole load of them have come after the Sloths run to the quarter finals in Az-cz. First up are Schiavonia's two back up goalkeepers, who never really got a decent chance behind first Jack Holes, then Chris Howard. The defence is hit hard, with two top class defenders in Freud and Ed Fielding. While Freud has a ready made replacement in Matthew Tilda, the captain's replacement doesn't look so obvious.

other big names retiring since World Cup 33 are Will Caine and Arran Di Chula, both of whom have been hugely effective parts of the team, especially Caine, who has been a top role model for many Schiavones. Finally, the Sloths two wingers finally leave the squad, with Tarmey not replacing them, choosing more specialists in ordinary Schiavone positions.

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


1. Howard


19. Bird 13. Tilda 12. Fielding 17. Jones
or 16. Bell

25. I.Blige 22. Tiss 21. Moston


33. Chester 34. Hogan 35. S.Blige


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


1. Howard


19. Bird 13. Tilda 12. Fielding 15. Jones
or 16. Bell

25. I.Blige 22. Tiss 21. Moston 35. S.Blige


33. Chester 34. Hogan


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


1. Howard


12. Fielding 13. Tilda


19. Bird 22. Tiss 23. Kerr 15. Jones
or 16. Bell
21. Moston 25. I.Blige


33. Chester 34. Hogan


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


1. Howard


13. Cueto 13. Tilda 12. Fielding


35. S.Blige 25. I.Blige 22. Tiss 21. Moston 15. Jones


33. Chester 34. Hogan



The SFF made themselves some dashing kits for World Cup 31, and we doubt they'll be changing any time soon. Mainly because 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 (as shown in the "Who We Are" link in the signature below), and doesn't involve severely harming or stealing one of the major players.
Games in Schiavonia will take place at the King Francesco Stadium, which has recently been revamped to hold 76,800 people (up from 68,000.)
If you want to interview a Schiavone, feel free. Responses might be a bit slow, though. Just don't interview David Jones.
Style modifier is +2.

Third: Alternate

My opponent, if they RP first, may do the following:
Choose my goalscorers - Go right ahead.
Godmod Scoring Events - Sure.
RP injuries to my players - Alright, but keep it limited, any major injury needs my approval.
Godmod injuries to my players - Same as above.
Hand out Yellow cards to my players - Of course.
Hand out Red cards to my players - Yes, but again, keep it limited.
Godmod Other Events - No thanks.

I've got an NSWiki page, just search for it. Probably needs improvement, but you'll get the gist. Games will be played in Crown Stadium, home to the WC32 final match, which holds 122,420 at max capacity.

Defections - No one'll defect from Geisenfried, but I'll accept anyone else's players.

Interviews - Go ahead and interview anyone, but nothing outrageous from my players/coaches/staff/dignitaries etc., please. I won't likely bother with them, so no media organizations from me.

With Ulzaxidians not having names in a traditional sense, nor having football in the traditional sense, all players have copied names from famous footballers to name the squad, hence the names. By studying the list of hall of fame players it seems that strikers are more important hence the 1-3-6 formation.

Special Notes about Ulzaixds:

They aren't human or from earth. In other words they are aliens. And strange ones at that. A full Ulzaxid is made up of five different organisms morphed together. The five component parts are organisms similiar to a monkey, dolphin with gills, an eagle, a ferret and a slime mold. In full on form they are very large, fast, strong and dangerous. With claws and wings for flight. Fortunately they won't be using such full morphs during the competition. But rather smaller versions. All morphs contain at least the slime which can secrete an enzyme which allows them to morph together. They can morph with any organism, so if they are under attack at home matches will do so in self-defense. And considering they could kick the crap out of people anyways, I'd recommend against starting trouble in Ulzaxid. Ulzaxid stadiums are specially constructed to have special seating areas for each of the base organisms as well as morphs. So there are eagles sitting on poles above the field, a special pool area for dolphins and so on. The slime molds are telepathic so the coach and team don't make any noise during matches. At away matches the spectators will also be completely silent. At home matches the base forms of eagle, ferret, monkey and dolphin will make noise.

Clearly such a species won't be defecting to other countries. If you are interested in having a player of fan morph together with an Ulzaxid that might be possible. TG me. Other than that no one will be coming to Ulzaxid as a defectee. All Ulzaxids can brain share so they can all speak English or any other language as necessary. So anyone is availabe for interviews.

If you have more questions let me know. I will do my best to respond although my internet access is limited.

About Rejistania:
Rejistania is a tropical country well-known for its rainforrests, its ethical diversity, its beaches and its corruption ("Hakim'ymeti, xen'eha nilna" as rejistanis would say to this fact with a smile). The rejistanian capital Sike is the smallest city in the nation (normally a settlement that small would be called a village, but the government felt that was unappropriate for the capital). The cities where qualification matches will most likely take place are rather big, crowded and noisy. And like in most Asian cities you might feel illiterate there because many writing systems co-exist in Rejistania. To get from A to B in Rejistanian cities, you should take the "etju" (public transport, can refer to busses and metros). Rejistanian hotels which call themsselves "vidjeti" (=budget) should be avoided unless you do not mind sharing rooms with strangers toilets and showers for the entire story and similar 'luxury'. The rejistani currency is the lil'kansu (plural: lil'kansu'ny). 1300 lil'kansu are worth one US-Dollar. Yes, rejistani sales taxes are nearly 100%, it is the only tax, Rejistania has.

Rejistania is a relatively free nation. You can follow your religion if you do not harm people with it. You can insult the first lentine (which is the head of state) if you happen to know its name (the fact that the first lentine changes nearly on monthly basis does not help this), marijuana, alcohol, tobacco, caffeine and many psychodelic mushrooms are legal. Va'karela'ny are legal on private ground if they do not affect adjecent property. Ymeti (also known as bribe or bakshish) is the typical way to deal with small problems with officials.

Defections/Interviews:
- Neither my players nor the coach or anyone else will defect
- Players from other nations can defect into one of the Allied States of Ropa-Topia: Yes (be advised that Ropa-Topia itself isn't a nation, it's an alliance/union between two nations, Uhuh-Ropa and Uhuh-Topia; the Isle of Uhm is shared territory)
- I would have liked to participate in interview RPs, but I doubt I will be doing a lot of RPing this cup due to RL issues, so let's not do interviews ;)

Your co-hosts for WC34 finally release their roster - which is precisely the same as the roster for WC33. Change is in the air, but why not give the established squad one last fling at home.

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.


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....)


Subs
GK -
Nicephorus Palaeologo
DEF -
Justinian Lecapeno

MID -
John Scleruso
Miguel Leichoudes
Theodore Ptochoprodomo
FOR -
Alexius Murtzuphlo
Jesus Logothetes


If you need to make up any non squad-related Imperial citizens, Imperial names are put together by the following simple method: Surnames are taken from Byzantine history and are ‘hispanicised’ by adding an ‘o’ to the end (sometimes after dropping the last couple of letters – hence ‘Palaeologo’, not ‘Palaeologuso’); first names are either standard Western or Byzantine. The exception are those surnames ending with ‘-es’, which are used to represent the minority Chaco population, where instead the surname is left unchanged, but the first name takes the Spanish form. Got it?

Other RP details:

Extensive information on the Holy Empire, its culture, geography, and footballing history, may be found on the Holy Empire wiki page (http://ns.goobergunch.net/wiki/index.php/Alasdair_I_Frosticus).


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.
