Goalie: Red Herring- A man easily distracted from the real world, but the best one we could find for the job.

Tex Mex- A guy born on the Rio Grande, not sure if he's a Texan or a Mexican, but he can play foosball.
John Jacob Jinglehimer-Schmidt- Not the guy someone wrote a song about.
Real McCoy- Found wandering the streets of Pruxton, saying "I'm the Real McCoy." Decided to use him on defense since his constant rambling throws of the opposition.

Midfield:
Pi- A 3.14 meter tall Greek letter that can play foosball.
Under Where- A guy wandering around in nothing but jockey shorts, enough said.
The Sphinx- an enigmatic young lady who riddles the opposition with constant questions, which drive them crazy. Also a good corner kicker with her lion's legs.
3.1415- A shorter version of Pi, he's only 3.14 ft tall, but kicks like a mule.

Attakers:
Pi R. Squared- A Circle with legs, don't know how it happened, don't know where it's from, but it works.
Pies R. Round- A walking pie, don't know how it happened, don't know where it's from, but it works.

+3, if scale of 5, +1 if scale of 3.

The IFA wishes to state that it will be sending a team to compete, if the slots are available for competition.

Also - what I believe to be an error:

Qutar
...
The Islands of Qutar

Is this the same person or am I just being stupid now?

[OOC: I know RPing in the signup thread doesn't count, but I don't care, I feel like doing it anyway. :p]

[Also OOC: Yeah, Han, you're absolutely correct.]

Pipletone Dings was seated in front of his desk at the headquarters of the Vephraller Foutbiller Restritris. He had been in the middle of checking his mail, of which one envelope lay open in front of him.

Juchona Spelaad couldn't help but notice that Dings had apparently been crying. Dings was not known for being emotional. Pipletone Dings was a very young man, probably not much over twenty, Spelaad guessed. He was interning at the VFR for a few months, taking a break from his classes at BTI*. He tended to be very quiet, and rarely talked to anyone unless they said something to him first. He had only been at the VFR for about three weeks.

Spelaad cautiously ventured forward toward Dings' desk. Lying on the desk directly in front of Dings' chair was a letter from the Bostopian FA, apparently an official invitation to the VFR to participate in the Cup of Harmony. Having nothing else to go on, Spelaad had to assume that this was the source of Dings' condition.

"I've never seen anyone moved to tears by one of these before," Spelaad said quietly. "You know we got invited after the last World Cup, too."

Dings moved his head around to look at Spelaad. His eyes were very red, and it looked as though he had been crying for at least fifteen minutes. "Oh no, a Cup of Harmony invitation doesn't quite have this kind of effect on me," he replied.

"Then what is it?"

Dings gestured vaguely out into the hall. "It's because of Lit."

"What, you asked her out and she turned you down?"

"No, silly, she's been married for eight years. No, the problem is she had to pick up her cats from the vet this morning on her way in, so she brought them into the office. I'm allergic to cats, so I've been miserable all day."

"Oh." Allergies would explain it, I guess, thought Spelaad.

"Anyway, Chona, I've gotta go the bathroom to try to clean my face up a bit. Can you send the response to the Bostopian FA for me?"

"Sure, no problem." And so Spelaad sent the response, confirming that the Vephrese national team would indeed participate.

* Bektys Technological Institute, a university located in Misedos

Ulzaxid signs up as well.

Candelaria And Marquez accepts their invite.

... and WRITES IN BLOCK CAPITALS SO HE REMEMBERS TO STICK THE ROSTER HERE AS WELL...

That is all.

Audioslavia will take part, AND WILL USE THE PATENTED CANDELARIA AND MARQUEZ 'STUFF REMEBERING' TECHNIQUE TO REMIND HIM TO POST HIS ROSTER

Kansiov will take part in CoH 39.

The IFA wishes to state that it will be sending a team to compete, if the slots are available for competition.

Also - what I believe to be an error:

Qutar/The Islands of Qutar

Is this the same person or am I just being stupid now?

I'm just being stupid now, sorry. I've also called it CoH 39 instead of 29. As I am an egit. This will now be a signup thread, and I will make a new threat entitled Cup of Harmony 29 (WC37) Roster/RP thread.

My apologies to all.

Also, confirms updated to this post.

Jeru FC will be there, because they are useless lot ... or they just like Kelly Firth.

Uiri's team will compete.

OOC - My ability to participate will be limited due to on-going access issues associated with my recent international move (ie, we don't have net access at home yet), but....

The Archregimancy signs up for the first monastic participation in a Cup of Harmony since our WC29 qualification failure. How embarrassing from a top ten team to Cup of Harmony in two world cups.

Clearly God is testing us by demanding we display more humility, and using us as a lesson to all nations who believe themselves to have become mighty.


Roster:

You all know by now that the Archregimancy is a nation of Eastern Orthodox Christian monks by now, right?

After the dismal failures of the last World Cup, and while the Monastic Football Association is rent in two by the current power struggles between liberal and conservative factions, the Archregimancy is returning to the 'anonymous roster' system used successfully in previous World Cups. We are not releasing any squadmember names.

The Archregimancy play in Orthodox liturgical robes.

It is nonetheless an open secret that the goalkeeper is native Errinunderan (and Errinundera pin-up monk) Fr. David of the Woods.

Otherise, my opponent may do more or less whatever he wants except RP religious conversions of my squadmembers or have them engage in unmonastic activity (particularly succumbing to sexual temptation). If you're unsure what 'unmonastic activity' might be, you can always check with me first.

Football Kelssek accepts the invitation and the team hopes not to get licked too bad.

Cup of Harmony signups are now closed. The group draw should be made today (Saturday), and will be posted in a new thread I'm yet to make as I naffed up the title of this one.

St Samuel National Football Squad Announced

New St Samuel manager, Georgi Monte-Cristiano has today revealed the new look St Samuel squad at a press conference in Saint Maria. Georgi Monte-Cristiano sat side by side with his counterpart and newly installed Assitant manager, Ariddian ex-international legend, Yves al Jahdali.

Georgi Monte-Cristiano had already stated upon his appointment that the squad would see big changes. Along with the international retirment of striker Dexter St John, nine other players got the chop. Ozzy Mantrapauli, Julio Centrali, Fabrizio Xinto, Jody Mason, Giuseppe Louardi, Mario Persarddi, Idrian Colkamari, Loui Bella-Tumouri and Giuseppe Abellardo all were told that they would be dropped from the squad and not included in the forth coming Cup of Harmony.

It is clear that Monte-Cristiano is hoping that youth will provide the Latin Crusaders with the edge in the CoH after announcing that Seth Justantinium, Luther Della Rosa, Sebastien Atalanta, Salvatore Rocka, and Marco Di Helana would be promoted from the under 21 squad. Also included in the new look St Samuel squad is Wolf Bay goal keeper, Paolo Van Monica, St Lysander FC defender, Cesar Le Ellandria,midfielders Leon Angelico from South Lake FC and Edgar Lovintino from Greenbay FC and striker Sebastiano De Robbia of Charlestown United.

When asked about why he decided to send the same team that played the World Cup qualifiers to the Cup of Harmony, Doctor Rogério Landau answered:

"I was too lazy to make changes in the team right now. Maybe I'll change something for the next qualifiers, but at the moment I'm too tired to do something. Anyway, the players don't win games, the coach does."

Here's how the RPing goes:
IF YOU ARE DOING A MATCH REPORT
You may choose scorers, and distribute Yellow Cards.
IF YOU ARE NOT
Feel free to use your imagination- you have free reign over all on-field activity. In fact, using your imagination is a requirement- no dullness may take place in a Casaran match. I ask you to hold back on Red Cards and any serious injuries without asking me first, but definitely feel free to ask- I have and will always be a promoter of creativity, at the expense of the health of my imaginary players, but I don't want plans thrown off because you wanted to break eight legs. If necessary, hurt the substitutes- they're not plot-critical.

Information and Notes
-Casari will initially be playing home games on the Wilson Downs- essentially a number of fields, surrounded by hills. There will be no admission, but it is decent of you to put a few Selaris in the hat as it passes by. Thusly, in winter it might have a layer of snow, in summer it might be partly submerged. As the campaign continues, the team will play in some actual stadiums, but the Downs are where the first games will be.

-The Casaran team is a bunch of College Students who decided to try and enter and were miraculously accepted. Thereby, they will behave as college students do- drink, do bizarre things on dares, drink, sleep in parks, drink, goof off, and drink. As well, they will ignore most of the etiquette of soccer, such as the stupid walking onto the pitch (they will run), pregame rituals (they will laugh at them), being nice (they'll come up with nasty chants about your team themselves and post them on the internet), and won't mind taking a run at your best player (they just don't care).

[OOC - just a quick note to say that I have now adjusted my sign-up post to feature a roster of sorts, and the initial thread post can be changed to reflect this]

THE MONASTIC TIMES

NEW SPIRIT OF HUMILITY SWEEPS ARCHREGIMANCY FOOTBALL TEAM
Monks Announce Expectation That Squad Will "Lose Every Single Match"

By Fr. Nicholas the Scribe


As Liberals and Conservatives continued to battle for control of both the Monastic Football Association and the Holy Synod, sources close to the national football team - playing in the Cup of Harmony for the first time since their dismal failure to qualify for World Cup 29 - announced that in a spirit of monastic humility and Christian charity "we expect to lose every single match we play by at least three goals".

"Yes, it's true!" said a senior archimandrite, speaking on condition of anonymity. "We're practically giving results away! What better way to celebrate our acceptance of our God-given fall from footballing grace than to promise to give every team we play at least a three goal head-start!"

Some senior Archregimancy officials are said to be concerned that the squad have become dangerously unhinged since their shock failure to qualify for World Cup 37. "I'm all for monastic humility and an appropriate acceptance of one's role in the Lord's plan" said one hieromonk "but this may be taking things too far."

Less sympathetic voices in the more hesychasm-focused monasteries have told the national squad to "stop sulking and get on with it". As has been pointed out, falling from 10th in the world to the Cup of Harmony in two cups while becoming the only second seeds not to qualify for the tournament proper rather pales in comparison to the World Cup 29 squad's singular achievement in going from World Cup quarterfinalists to the only first seeds not to qualify in a single cup. "And it didn't do those lads any harm, did it? Praying uphill in the snow both ways while training in a hole in the ground under a tarpaulin" added Fr. Willibrord of Wensleydale, who is also believed to be the only Yorkshireman in the entire nation.
