Bettia World Cup 39 Squad

Worlc Cup 38 was something of a nightmare for Bettian football fans - a severe injury crisis saw the FAB being forced to school a team of schoolkids, they were knocked out in the first round, they slipped out of the top ten for the first time in many years, and to make matters worse, they were outperformed by Northern Bettia. Thankfully, no such crisis has hit the national team, meaning that a team of fully-grown adults will once again represent the Aroras, with one or two of the better performing players from WC38 retaining their place.

Another big change is the appointment of not one but three new managers to replace Amir Bettison, who resigned after the last World Cup. Andi, Budi and Peri Busilanta, the triplets who formed the feared strikeforce that fired Bettia to victory in World Cup 35, will be hoping to repeat that feat from the manager's box.

Playing Style

In keeping with the traditional Takilan way we play football, Bettia will be playing with as positive a style modifier as possible (+5), utilising a highly attacking 2-5-3 / 2-3-5 formation.

Roleplaying

If RPing first, the FAB give our opponents permission
to RP / godmod pretty much anything they like,
short of killing or maiming anyone.

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)
http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y231/bettia/bettia-kit.jpg

National Stadium: Tiddles Park Stadium, Gabalfa (capacity 102,000 - approx 50,000 seated)
All of Bettia's matches are played at their national stadium. Full information about Tiddles Park Stadium, including history, photos, seating arrangements and public transport, can now be found at the stadium's NS-Wiki article (http://ns.goobergunch.net/wiki/tiddles_park_stadium.html)

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 renowned 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 the colour red due to its association with all things evil - hell, Satan, fire, anger, rage etc. In many cases, this exhibits itself as a phobia that can leave the average Bettian a gibbering wreck. 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(tm) blue-tinted sunglasses which made their debut at World Cup 33 to great effect, which help to nullify their opponents' evil redness.
Bettians love football so much that giant screens are now a permanent fixture in many cities and towns. International matches are treated as though they were national holidays, around which huge crowds gather in their thousands to see the game. Away supporters without tickets are more than welcome to come to Bettia and make use of these facilities in Gabalfa city centre together with the locals.
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/bettia.html).


Co-Managers:
Andi, Budi and Peri Busilanta
As players, they were probably the most feared front line in world football, ammassing 160 goals between them over the space four World Cups. By making the bold move of placing all three of them in charge, the FAB hope this rich goalscoring form will continue.

Football Association of the International League of Yafalonia and Bazor , unofficially it is also known as Football Association of the International League (FAIL), but as Football Associal of the International League of Yafalonia and Bazor 2 is too weildy, most people call it fail.

FAIL's HARD Inter-International Team is Headed up by Yafalonia's Narin Valandar, and Bazor 2's Bob Tresgovsken.

Foward - Racheal Kneal(Bazor 2) - Rachael is known for her goal celerbrations, they leave alot to the imagination as she somehow makes people think she'll whipp of her top with-out ever doing so.

Defender - Umar Ventrarar (Yafalonia) - Big, tough, and stupid. He's pretty much your prototypical center defender. What he can't knock down, he runs over.

Defender - Barelien Koliensar (Yafalonia) - Less big and less tough, but he's still pretty stupid. Instead of trying to run things over, he tries to "surreptitiously" knock people down, resulting in a lot of fouls and a lot of cards from the referees.

Defender - Delorad Karhadoris (Yafalonia) - Much bigger, much tough, and a lot less stupid. He's pretty much the best defender on the squad, since he's actually good at knocking people down and taking the ball away. Plus, as an added bonus, he can actually pass a bit, too.

Forward - Alerian Doriak (Yafalonia) - He's rather abrasive and rude - he gets involved in lots of fights with referees, as well as with his managers, and his fellow players, and his fans, and those women who all want him very much, and his parents (though he regrets those), and his gardeners, and his pet bunny rabbit (he's named it Bunnicula), and you get the idea.

Midfield - Daris Caollan (Yafalonia) - He's actually the governor of a province in Yafalonia and Bazor 2 - he's a politician and has run for office. In fact, the only reason he's even got on the team is because he managed to start a petition and pressure the government, and do all kinds of things like that.

Midfield - Raethar Vanlaez (Yafalonia) - Caollan's running mate. He spends his free time as a male model.

Midfield - Frederick Hammerstead(Bazor 2) - Not afraid to get dirty, Frederick is never clean, infact somehow he manages to damage almost anything he comes in contact with.

Midfielder - Johnson Wolgenager(Bazor 2) - Wears glasses on field, he isn't blind or needs them, but he blieves they make a fashion statement as well as "You nerds, you can a soccer hero too." However it seems the amount of nerds actually being at soccer is, low, very low indeed, but that doesn't stop them virtually simulating soccer online.

Defender - Harry Delany (Bazor 2) - Harry, is oddly very long, he stands 211cm (7' 3") perhaps more at home in the basketball ring, his long legs make for great control of the ball, and greater talking range as well.

Keeper - Graham Noh'arms(Bazor 2) - Graham is notable in the team for the lack of arms, apparently after an altercation with King Arthur in which he lost his arms (claiming it was only a flesh wound). Graham gave up hs job as the black knight and started playing football. "You don't need arms for football!" That's his famous quote, however one might argue you need arms for being a goalie.

RP Permisions. Everything allowed. GODMODING ENCOURAGED FOR HUMOUR!

Coaching:
Manager: Jan Jorgenson
Asst. Manager: Ensio Varg



Starters' Profiles:
Sevastyan Maric (GK): With the retirement of Kustaa Paavalainen, now age 40, Sevastyan Maric steps up to the starting position. Aleksandr Khavanov will also play in quite a few matches, and Jarko Pitkanen, who played well for a surprising Traal side this past S-League season should see playing time as well.

Juha Timmonen (RB): Timmonen's athleticism is now tempered with experience, as the mainstay of the Kakrafoon defense ages gracefully. He should cause problems in particular for strikers who like to make runs around the end and shoot from shallow angles, as his positioning is superb.

Rassmus Pahlsson (CB): After successfully adjusting to a center back role last cup, so well in fact, that he moved their on his club side as well, Pahlsson looks to anchor a strong bach three. Opposing strikers will need to be aware of the offsides trap he sets.

Taavetti Oivanen (LB): Oivanen works flawlessly with Pahlsson, even playing at left back, instead of the right back position he takes with Algolia. He is still the least experienced of the three defensemen, but is in his prime athletically.

Viggo Haakana (RDM): Haakana performed well from this spot last cup, and so he keeps it. He and Thomas Vendelin play well to limit movement in the middle of the field by opposing teams, and he can often be found sneaking up behind the attack to take long distance shots, often with deadly accuracy.

Tomas Vendelin (LDM): Once again Vendelin will be heavily relied upon to protect the central area in front of the Squornshelan back three. He isn't the most exciting player to watch, but from a defender's point of view, excitement is bad. He is calm, level headed and focuses more on containment than spectacular tackles.

Vlastislav Prpic (RAM): Prpic played well in qualifying last cup, and gets the starting spot despite a quiet finals. Should he falter Reino Markkunen will almost certainly be moved up to the starters position, and Prpic will join Demkjo, Kolkka and Marivych on the bench.

Caj Ilmari (CAM): Ilmari is still probably the most skilled and dangerous player on this cup's roster. His ball somehow continue to improve, he is always coming up with new tricks. He can put the ball through a car window from thirty meters and technically, may be the best player in the world, most Squornshelans certainly think so. He may have lost a step in the years since WC38, but he is still a huge threat.

Jzeovak Tkermec (LAM): After scoring two finals goals in his first cup, Tkermec gets the nod for a starting position. Like the right midfield position, this once has a host of bench players who are ready to step in.

Tomas Kurka (RF): Kurka was one of our better bench players on an attack full of good bench players. He will be the starter, but Markku Sykko is another player who will get a fair amount of playing time and probably some starts of his own. Look for Kurka and Sykko to get roughly equivalent time here.

Erkki Aatunen (LF): Erkki Aatunen still has the speed and skill to dazzle crowds and leave defenders in the dust, but his endurance is not what it once was. He is named a starter on the roster, but in all likelihood, he will be held for the second half, especially in crucial matches where his fresh legs can make a difference late. Peter Volodov and Djabgor Cvecej will also see time here.

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

Aatunen Kurka

Tkermec Ilmari Prpic

Vendelin Haakana

Oivanen Pahlsson Timmonen

Maric


Usual Substitutes:
Aleksandr Khavanov (GK)
Fyodor Petrovich or Pavel Kolodny (D)
Reino Markkunen or Joonas Kolkka (M)
Bratislav Demkjo or Vassili Marivych (M)
Markku Sykko or Djabgor Cvecej (F)
Peter Volodov or Volad Ulcviecel (F)

As far as picking scorers goes, no attacker is always on the field, any of my midfield or forward subs could start as well, and all are capable of scoring. The subs in boldface are the primary substitutes, who are most likely to play if a starter is being rested. Depending on score, Squornshelous will often sub in a fourth defender or sixth attacker in place of a defensive midfielder late in matches.

Squornshelan Kit:
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v629/squorn/6456802d.jpg
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v629/squorn/ILMARI.jpg
For away kit, substitute black for red and white for black, both kits have black shorts
Keepers wear a plain white kit at home and a plain red kit away, or whichever of those two does not match the opposing team's kits.
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 frequently 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 the indigs frequent. The Molvanian region is mostly slavic, and generally very poor, very dirty, and often unsafe for tourists, as pickpockets and worse abound in the cities. While the rest of Squornshelous is good for tourism, Foreign visitors to Molvania would do well to bring their own water, food, bedspread, mattress, and pretty much anything else they'd like to have. Squornshelous is a very nationalistic country, almost to the point of xenophobia, with a very strong military tradition. Tourists are urged to tread carefully, as foreigners are not afforded many rights by Squornshelan laws. Bettians especially are cautioned against visiting Squornshelous at all, due to the extreme prevalence of the national colors, black and red.

Squornshelan religion is a mixture, and the government is completely secular. About 45% of Squornshelans practice Lutheran Christianity, roughly 30% are Neo-Norse Pagans, 15% are Eastern Orthodox, 7% are Calvinist Christians and the remaining 3% are mostly atheistic. All other religions represent only insginificant fractions of the population. Surprisingly, there is very little conflict between religious groups, a phenomenon which is credited to the government's complete detatchment from all religions. Most of the Protestants live in the urban areas of Squornshelous proper, while paganism is concentrated in more rural regions, especially in the far north of the country. The Orthodox faith is almost entirely encountered in Molvania.

Squornshelous is a fairly mountainous country and winters are harsh, due to our high latitude. Summer brings pleasant weather, perfect for football matches. Squornshelan players tend to work especially hard at conditioning in order to keep from being at a disadvantage when playing in hot, or humid climates. Visiting teams would do well to do some conditioning of their own. Most Squornshelan cities are located on the sea coast, and the breezes off the water can be quite chilly, even in summer months.


I am willing to:

have one or more of my players defect: Y
allow other nations to have one or more of their players defect to my country: Y
take part in interview RPs: Y

pretty much TG me regarding any of those and we'll talk it over.

With NSWiki remaining in read-only mode, the article on the Zwangzug national football team (http://ns.goobergunch.net/wiki/zwangzug_national_football_team.html) is somewhat out-of-date. Hence the somewhat more (im)pertinent commentary.

Starters have bolded numbers. The numbers in parentheses refer to the player's first cup: if different, the second number is their first as a starter. The other parenthetical stuff is the players' clubs and countries thereof.

Forwards:

1. Simon Ryne Olson (33, Marienburg United, St Samuel). Quite a good footballer. Almost as good as he thinks he is.
3. Peter Vanderpent (37, Albrecht FC, Candelaria And Marquez). A spatial thinker, frequently aware of the correct position to be in, almost as frequently able to get there.
4. Phillip Stings (33, IYC Uharan, Yafor 2). Formerly a speed demon, now just...well...we'll keep the bookings total down with him on the bench.
5. Gary Maini (37/39, Albrecht Turkish, Candelaria And Marquez). Started as a substitute, got experience on a successful club side, now has cracked the starting team...it's almost as there's a functional system here!
14. Ian Felsenfeld (37, Chelmar FC, Yafor 2). Aggravatingly inconsistent: brilliant on his best days, pathetic on his worst. (If only there was some way to tell before game time.) Continuing his intermittently successful partnership with Terwilliger in Chelmar.
20. Preston Liebersbach (37). "Yah, sure, yabetcha" and "yo, dawg" don't really sound natural in the same sentence. He hasn't quite figured that out.

Midfielders:
6. Ursula Lauren (37/38, Arrigo Portuguese, Candelaria And Marquez). Would prefer to be judged on her contributions to the team than as its first female starter. Or, for that matter, on her treatment of people stupid enough to comment on her not-so-interesting role.
10. Brendan Deguela (37/38, IYC Ajer, Yafor 2). Arguably the team's most athletic player with former stars aging, he makes up for in field coverage what he lacks in footballing fundamentals.
11. Eddie Barnes (35, Dunboor FC, Cafundéu). Has thrived in a nation where football is cherished. At his best against the toughest competition, but could get lazy in qualifiers. His younger sister, Hailee, plays the oboe before games.
13. Steven Ruck (33, IYC Ajer, Yafor 2). Not much particularly interesting about him, which is probably why he's captain.
15. Evan Terwilliger (37, Chelmar FC, Yafor 2). Somewhat inconsistent, though not quite to the extreme as Felsenfeld, to whom he has proven an effective passer.
16. Claude Seu (37, Clube Imperial, Cafundéu). A quiet fellow, of Ariddian ancestry. Going beyond glib demographic one-liners is no fun, is it?
23. Megan Kucinich (38, Wexax United, Elves Security Forces). Considered worryingly idealistic by some of her teammates who can't understand her interests in stuff like "winning" and "playing fair".
26. Natasha Keller (39). See Zoe McQuoid.
28. Dirk Grosa (39). Always finding something to complain about: whether it's the food or the pitch, nothing can quite match his standards.
29. Zoe McQuoid (39). You'll find out when we do.

Defenders:
7. Natalie Instonenext (37/39, Port of Clotaire, Candelaria And Marquez). Studious and analytical. Center-back on this team is a tiring position, though, and her reactions to being jolted out of daydreaming during pep talks are always amusing.
9. Mal Faustino (36, A. F. F., Cafundéu). Focused but confident, so confident that he thinks for himself sometimes, which doesn't always go over well.
21. Rebecca Calhoun (38). See Michael Sheldon.
22. Michael Sheldon (38). See Dana Bloomquist.
24. Dana Bloomquist (38) See Re-okay, fine. A defender new last cup who hasn't done anything worth a great deal of notice.
25. Bennett Covy (39). Considered the best of the current first-timer's. We'll see...
46. Andrew Card (33, Joseon, Daehanjeiguk). Paranoid and fueled through sheer willpower. His play will take on an offensive bent when in extra time or committing a favored technical foul-in both cases for the same reason...

Coach: Doodlypants McGimpy (36). Has finally settled his alimony problems, and can now concentrate on calling his players by their uniform numbers and mangling his idioms. They make sense in Bigtopian, we're sure.

RPers: be intelligent and have fun.

Style modifier is 0. Starting formation:

---Vanderpent---Olson---Maini---
----------Seu-----Ruck----------
-------------Deguela-------------
--------Barnes------Lauren-------
---Faustino-Instonenext-Card-----

Most probable substitutions: Stings for Maini (2nd half), Terwilliger for Seu (at random intervals), Kucinich for Barnes (against a weak opponent).

ANOTHER SEASON, ANOTHER WORLD CUP!

(OOC: Cafundéu’s players are two years older than in WC 38)

Style: +3


CAFUNDÉU RELEASES THE OFFICIAL LIST OF PLAYERS FOR THE 39th WORLD CUP

(Lasft, Cafundéu) – What a miracle! The coach continues in the job! You know, usually a coach in Cafundéu has difficulties to stay in the job after 3 or 4 months, but now Braddock will go to his third World Cup in a row, and his last. He already announced that he is planning his retirement, but it’s not sure if it’s only from the National Team. The last World Cup campaign was a bit disappointing, as the team lost in the second round after winning all the games of the group stage, but, anyway, the CCFM understood that the opponents were strong.

The team looks the same, with only few changes in the team, but not in the formation, that will continue being the boring offensive 4-4-2. The CCFM, after making calculations, noticed that Cafundéu will be one of the first seeds of the qualification stage (one of the worst, but still a first seed), so the supporters are expecting an easy qualification. It’s not something that happens a lot with Cafundéu, as the Monopolists had some very difficult qualifying stages.

See the list of the 23 players:

Goalkeepers:

1-LAURO Navarro Vasconcelos (Team: Petardos S/A)
Height: 186cm - Weight: 72kg – Age: 30 years old
Four World Cups, most as a starter, Lauro is getting old. Ten years in the National Team. In excellent form, he has great reflexes. Plays in Petardos S/A, and commands the defence of his team. He is an eccentric goalkeeper, who likes to take free kicks too (he won’t have this chance in the National Team). He is also very intelligent. This might be his last World Cup in the National Team, although old goalkeepers are frequently used in the Cafundelense teams.
Rating: A – Team Relationship: A – Morale: B – Form: B
PLAYED WCs 35/36/37/38

12-MOISÉS Salgado Alves (Team: Ranca Toco)
Height: 199cm - Weight: 102kg – Age: 27 years old
A good goalkeeper, who was able to get a chance in the National Team. As Braddock likes players who play for big teams, Moisés was chosen. He is a strong goalkeeper, who is good at tackling too (difficult to be dribbled). Sometimes he is a bit violent, but he is a kind person. He also drinks a lot of water, and when he plays, you can see a big gallon (10L) of water next to his goal.
Rating: B - Team Relationship: B - Morale: C - Form: A
PLAYED WCs 37/38

22-BARTOLOMEU Bueno de Souza (Team: SC Lasft)
Height: 191cm - Weight: 87kg – Age: 20 years old
Bartolomeu already knew that he would be going to the National Team sooner or later. After playing very well in the youth National Teams, he showed a lot of maturity playing for his domestic team, and finally won his deserved chance in the National Team. Probably won’t play, but it’ll be an opportunity to learn something. Bartolomeu focuses on the game and it’s difficult to see him distracted. He is very cold and professional.
Rating: C - Team Relationship: B - Morale: A - Form: B

Right Defenders:

2-Leonardo Macedo de Mattos "LÉO MATTOS" (Team: A.F.F.)
Height: 168cm – Weight: 72kg – Age: 28 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 has speed and good passing and shooting abilities. Another cup for this experienced player. He has developed a lot, and now is surely the best full-back of the whole National Team, and one of the best players of the entire team.
Rating: A – Team Relationship: A – Morale: B – Form: B
PLAYED WCs 34/35/36/37/38

16-MARCELO Denílson ROCHA (Team: Atlético Insular)
Height: 182cm – Weight: 85kg – Age: 25 years old
After playing well in the youth National Teams, Marcelo Rocha didn’t get many chances in the professional team of Cafundó do Juta, and it seemed that his career was being destroyed. One season in Atlético Insular, and Marcelo Rocha was able to get a place in the National Teams. He has great positioning, good heading ability and speed. Unfortunately, he isn’t very good at defending, and makes some infantile mistakes, like penalties. Can start some good counterattacks.
Rating: C – Team Relationship: B – Morale: A – Form: A

Left Defenders:

6-LEANDRO Nunes Moreno “CAVALO” (Team: Atlético Jutense)
Height: 180cm – Weight: 75kg – Age: 26 years old
A very intelligent and tactical player, Leandro Cavalo is a player that follow all the coach’s orders, and can help his team mates to follow tactical instructions. He is not very fast, but has an excellent passing ability. Is also very good at crossings and defends well. He was waiting for a chance in the National Team for a long time, but had many injury problems, some of them that still didn’t seem solved. So, sometimes Braddock will put him in the bench, to avoid more injuries.
Rating: B – Team Relationship: B – Morale: B – Form: B

13-AUGUSTO CÉSAR Menegatti Soares (Team: A.F.F.)
Height: 172cm - Weight: 70kg – Age: 22 years old
This player is the funniest of the team. In the hotel or in the trainings, he loves to tell jokes and to play tricks. So, everybody in the team likes him. He is also very famous for his relationship with a famous actress. As a player, he is fast and good at passing, but his defensive ability isn’t very good. His long ranged shots are excellent too, but he has some positioning problems. He can be used as a midfielder too, but it doesn’t seem that he’ll play in this position in the NT.
Rating: B - Team Relationship: A - Morale: C - Form: A

Central Defenders:

3-EDUARDO MONTE Castelo Casagrande (Team: Petardos S/A)
Height: 172cm - Weight: 70kg – Age: 27 years old
Eduardo Monte was just a promising youngster of the Sub-23 team, but he impressed the whole world with his speed and perfect long passes. He defends well, but needs the help of a more experienced defender to be successful. After playing for some time in the National Team, he went to giants Petardos S/A, and improved a lot as a player there, and now is the best defender of the country.
Rating: A - Team Relationship: A - Morale: A - Form: B
PLAYED WCs 35/36/37/38

4-Guilherme Frota SOUZA (Team: Ranca Toco)
Height: 173cm – Weight: 72kg – Age: 26 years old
Souza was the team mate of Eduardo Monte in EC Elville, when the team made a surprising campaign in the National League. Now, both went to different teams, and Souza now is in a team known for its excellent defense (first Atlético Jutense, now Ranca Toco). He is more fast than the other defenders, but has less physical strength. He can start some counterattacks and can even play as a full-back in the right or left wing if needed.
Rating: B – Team Relationship: A – Morale: A – Form: B
PLAYED WCs 36/37/38

14-Ânderson Wesher LOBATO (Team: Dunboor FC)
Height: 178cm - Weight: 84kg – Age: 23 years old
A player in good form, Lobato is a promising defender who likes to use his physical strength to take the ball from his opponent. He is not violent, but he makes many fouls. He is good at positioning, and usually helps the coach in organizing the defence. But his passing is far from perfect, and because of that he will stay on the bench, having few opportunities in the main team.
Rating: C - Team Relationship: B - Morale: A - Form: A
PLAYED WC 38

21-EVERALDO Jarbas Lilite (Team: Galáxia)
Height: 185cm - Weight: 93kg – Age: 32 years old
A very experienced player, who was only able to play in the top division of Cafundéu when Galáxia got the promotion years ago. Before that, Everaldo played in many lower teams. And, when he got the chance to show his ability in the main division, impressed everyone. Now, Braddock gives him a chance to go to the National Team, and he probably will win more chances than Lobato. He is very strong and good at heading, and can tackle his opponents without many difficulties. He won’t go to the attack, and isn’t good at shooting, so he is a very defensive option.
Rating: B - Team Relationship: A - Morale: B - Form: B

Defensive Midfielders:

5-Mukulaiê Bakarangobadah Zulaiêká "ANORMAL" (Team: SC Lasft)
Height: 220cm - Weight: 155kg – Age: 33 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.

15-Carlos VERGARA (Team: Cafundó do Juta)
Height: 173cm - Weight: 76kg – Age: 29 years old
The most talented of the Cafundó do Juta twins (he and Túlio Vergara, an attacker), Carlos Vergara started to play in the main team of Cafundó do Juta two seasons ago, and showed a lot of quality, getting a place in the B National Team in his first season as a starter. After solid seasons (he has few excellent games, but nearly no bad games), he started to be considered one of the best midfielders of the country, and got a place in the NT after Barbosa got injured. He has a very good ball control and passing ability.
Rating: B - Team Relationship: C - Morale: A - Form: A
PLAYED WCs 37/38

17-LIONEL Pereira Gonzaga Dias (Team: Dunboor FC)
Height: 170cm - Weight: 74kg – Age: 24 years old
Lionel has ever been a good player, capable of showing good performances in many different levels. But nothing more than that. Lionel had problems to show more ability than the idols of his teams, and was never the best player of a team. But last season he did a magnificent job, and is now in the National Team. A very defensive midfielder, not good in heading and dribbling, but excellent in defensive qualities. Also, he has a very strong shot, and can surprise the opponent goalkeepers. He can also play as a defender, the position that he plays in his team.
Rating: C - Team Relationship: B - Morale: A - Form: A

Neutral Midfielders:

8-Roberto Wendison Renat DA SILVA (Team: Clube Imperial)
Height: 167cm – Weight: 65kg – Age: 25 years old
Da Silva is a very versatile player in the midfield. Started his career as a defensive midfielder, played many games as an offensive midfielder, worked well as a winger... it’s a very useful player. With fast dribbles and intelligent passes, he is good at creating deadly plays and making assists, and will surely play a major role in the National Team. In the NT, will play in a more offensive role, but can defend if needed. Was waiting for a chance in the National Team for a long time, but had to overcome the shadow of other good players, like Rato and Dário. Now it is his chance. He is also known as a quiet player, but a very good guitar player, so he participate in the team’s parties.
Rating: A – Team Relationship: A – Morale: B – Form: A

20-ÉVERTON Muniz Costa (Team: Petardos S/A)
Height: 176cm – Weight: 74kg – Age: 24 years old
Playing in the youth teams of Petardos S/A since he was 8 years old, Éverton became an excellent player. People say that he doesn’t have any natural talent, but after training for so many years, he learnt how to play football. He can play as either a defensive or a offensive midfielder, and his strong point is his vision of the game. He can predict plays and start some good counterattacks, and is also good at heading. Now, he is a starter in his team and has the confidence of the fans, but he need more if he wants to stay in the National Team, as his last performances weren’t so good.

Attacking Midfielders:

7-Marcelo Augusto Lafaiete "MARCELINHO" (Team: Galáxia)
Height: 165cm - Weight: 68kg – Age: 28 years old
Another player coming from Galáxia. Marcelinho was considered one of the weakest players of the team, but his performances in the last seasons opened the eyes of those that criticized him. He was only able to show his true potential after four seasons playing in the starting team of Galáxia. Now that his team is in the First Division of the league, he must show more ability. He is a creative player, good in dribbling and passing.

10-Jorge Benazzi NETO (Team: A.F.F.)
Height: 168cm - Weight: 65kg – Age: 29 years old
Specialist in crossings and free kicks, Neto has a lot to offer for the National Team. He is good at dribbling and finishing, but doesn’t like to get involved in defensive plays. His heading ability is not so good too, and he gets tired quickly. So, he usually stays in the midfield waiting for a pass. In the media, he is known as the statue, because he stays in the same place for most of the time. But when he gets the ball, he surely will make an excellent play, or score a goal from a free kick.

19-CARLOS MAGNO Gerdau de Oliveira (Team: Clube Imperial)
Height: 181cm – Weight: 85kg – Age: 25 years old
This arrogant player knows that he is good, and probably the best dribbler of the whole country. He likes to humiliate his opponents, nutmegging them and making many stepovers and moves showing his ability. Sometimes he reaches the attack with them, but there are times that the moves aren’t useful. He is also good at passing and shooting, but doesn’t like to defend and likes to receive special treatment from the coach and from his team mates. He also avoids the press, although he loves to appear on the television.

Attackers:

9-Ivan Moutinho Gomes "FLECHA" (Team: Cafundó do Juta)
Height: 164cm - Weight: 60kg - Age: 28 years old
The most promising “wonderkid” of Galáxia SC, Flecha has more technique than the other attackers, but lacks physical strength. Main responsible for the rise of Galáxia in the lower leagues, he is now in Cafundó do Juta. He is really fast (his nickname means arrow in english) and has a good finishing, but isn’t too good in making assistances. Now takes the responsibility of being the main attacker of the team, as Heitor wasn’t called.

11-Kléber Tenório FERREIRA (Team: Galáxia)
Height: 186cm – Weight: 90kg – Age: 30 years old
A good attacker who plays for a team known for revealing stars that are now playing in Cafundéu’s NT. Ferreira is a typical goal maker. He stays in the area, waiting for a crossing or a good pass and, when he receives the ball with conditions to score a goal, it’s difficult for him to not score. Ferreira is also a natural leader, but won’t be the captain (it’ll be Anormal). He doesn’t talk much with the media, avoiding it, so not much is known about his personal life.

18-FABRÍCIO Nogueira (Team: Cafundó do Juta)
Height: 190cm – Weight: 99kg – Age: 23 years old
A young star that suddenly received a lot of media attention, and moved teams again (3 times in 3 seasons). Now he is in a big club, and now wants to take the next step going to the starting eleven of the National Team. But the situation isn’t easy. He is clearly worse than the main attackers of the team, although he has a lot of determination and is very tall, something that helps him at heading the ball, and, as a result, gives him more physical strength. So, he can appear in some matches.

23-SAULO Aparecido (Team: Clube Imperial)
Height: 172cm - Weight: 68kg - Age: 29 years old
Loyal to his former team, EC Elville, Saulo received a millionaire offer to play for Clube Imperial, and accepted. And, soon after his transfer, won his first chance in the National Team. Saulo is known for his goal instinct. He is not strong, or a good dribbler, nothing like that. He has luck. The ball goes after him. Some people say that Saulo isn’t a good player, but the fact is that he scores lots of goals, so he is a good attacker because of that. Can win some chances, but will probably stay in the bench.

Coach: Franz BRADDOCK (Former Petardos S/A coach)
Height: 183cm - Weight: 96kg – Age: 72 years old
One of the best midfielders of Cafundéu's history, Franz Braddock was extremely motivated, determinated and tactical. And he continues with these abilities as a coach. After coaching many great teams and winning a lot of trophies, he was an unanimous choice to return to be the coach of the NT. So, he left Petardos S/A (that now is coached by the Ariddian Christophe Argentier) and started to build a team that suited his style to battle for the objectives of the country. His training is very tough and tiring, he wants to extract the best of his players, and some players don't like this. But he continues being the savior of the country and the only one that can give victories to the team.

Height: 182cm - Weight: 93kg - Date of Birth: 44 years old
The legend. The player who carried the team to qualify for World Cup 32, when Cafundéu was just the Baptism of Fire runner-up nation. The CCFM hired Ijak to help Braddock. In fact, Ijak was hired because of his popularity, which would be good for the morale of the players, as Braddock can do all the job alone, without help. It was a good marketing move too, as Ijak has a good relationship with the fans.

Pai Dinah(or Pai Oxossi) is the spy of the team. He says that he can discover the most deeper secrets of the opponent talking with the opponent players and using his secret talents.

Trovão was mantained by Braddock because the players like him. He has a lot of knowledge about physical training, and uses it to give some advice for the players. He likes to run with the players during morning, and because of that some players become friends of him. His training style is simple, and can be adapted according to the opponent.

The players and the staff need to be relaxed to play all the games. So, Serginho Mallandro's job is to make jokes, play games and help to make everybody happy. Sometimes he can be a bit annoying with his phrases like "Glu-glu", or "Bilu-bilu tetéia" and other ones, and even the directors don't like him very much, but he will stay with the NT. He also works with the female NT.

Doctor: Dr. TATIANA MORAES (Former Faculdade de Medicina)
Height: 175cm - Weight: 62kg – Age: 40 years old
After Cecília left the country to work as a doctor in a famous foreign hospital, the CCFM went after a substitute. Tatiana has been working with football players since she got her degree, so she was a natural option for the job. She does her job well, although some older doctors wanted her place.

The Directors:

President of the CCFM: Counselor-Minister of Sports Erasmo Carlos JOWENGUARD
Age: 91 years old - Time in the job: 3 year (was the president too 55 years ago, being in the job for 31 years)
Jowenguard's family is one of the founders of the CCFM. He was the president of the CCFM for more than 30 years, but health problems made him renounce. Then, he took the job of director of the National Teams(less important), still having 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). But now, he finally agreed to take his former job.
Rating: A - Influence: A - Morale: B - Confidence: A

Director of NTs: SELMIR ARAÚJO
Age: 35 years old - Time in the job: 3 year
Selmir is the son of Globo Multimedia’s president, who was offered the job of director of NTs. Instead of taking the job, he decided to send his son, who is determined but with no experience. As Globo Multimedia has a big influence on football, controlling the schedule of the domestic league and other things, he will have enough influence to do his work properly, with the help of some advisors.
Rating: C - Influence: B - Morale: A - Confidence: B

The formation:

Offensive 4-4-2. The right and left-backs are very offensive, but the defensive midfielders usually don’t go to the attack.

(note: in all my RPs I'll put the selected starting eleven for the next game, which can not be the main one)

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

Background Detail: Nothing too absurd happens in Cafundéu. 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. After the group draw, the CCFM will release the stadiums that will be used. They will be chosen among the ones in this post: Click here, don't be shy! (http://forums.jolt.co.uk/showpost.php?p=12955129&postcount=537) (just ignore the comments about WC 36’s group draw and the games that the stadiums hosted).

LANDAU INSTITUTE CALLS THE SAME PLAYERS FOR THE NATIONAL TEAM

PROFESSOR JESUS BANGU MELO RELEASES ROSTER - FOR WC39

Style is 0 now

The Landau Institute (we don't like to be called Estresse Intenso, as we are completely different from the country), will repeat the team that played the WC 38 qualifiers, but with a different style and president. A team that isn't composed just of crazy patients or only doctors.

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 Professor Jesus Bangu Melo.

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. Someone can only be considered a doctor after intense study, and the minimum age is of 23 (but few are able to become doctor at this age). Patients come after they become crazy in the "outside world".

To become a professor, the doctors need to keep studying, and only after a specific number of services made for the Landau Institute, a doctor gets this title (it takes approximately twenty years). A professor works together with the commanders of the Institute. The title would suggest that he would start acting as a teacher for young doctors, but this isn't the case.

(OOC: Important Note: don't use the Estresse Intenso flag when referring to the team. Use the Landau Institute Doctors' Association flag. It's the flag of a country called Landau IDA, created just to stock the flag)

See the list (use the names in BOLD):

Goalkeepers:

1-Benjamin Toledo DURÃO (patient, sometimes becomes violent without reason)
12-Francisco TUARANA (patient, controlled with medicines)
22-Doctor Octávio SÉRVULO (doctor, an optician)

Defenders:

2-REBECA Holambra (patient, kisses everyone that touches her face)
3-Doctor Wellington QUEVEDO (doctor, a psychiatrist who doesn't believe in supernatural things)
4-Professor Jesus BANGU MELO (doctor, a psychiatrist, one of the main doctors of the Institute, the new president of the Institute)
6-Father ANACLETO the Tactician (monk, main monk from the Institute)
13-HERBERT Lizi Olive (patient, arsonist)
14-Doctor CIRO Penbrandt (doctor, a pneumologist)
20-ÍRIS (she is one of the computer experts of the Institute)
21-Doctor Yuri APARECIDO (doctor, a surgeon)

Midfielders:

5-Doctor César ZETTI (doctor, a general practicioner)
7-José Eduardo Ubirajara "BIRA" (patient, has hallucinations)
8-Doctor Letícia SABIN (doctor, a neurologist, she is a very good player)
11-Professor César SELIC (doctor, a cardiologist)
15-Augusto MIRTILO (patient, for him, the colours change everytime)
16-Professor ALINE Felipo Landau (doctor, a psychiatrist, wife of Doctor Rogério Landau)
17-Genalvo Lambert WASH (patient, perfectionist)
69-THE WANDERER (lives in the Institute, he is a bit crazy too, but not a patient)

Attackers:

9-Carlos Alberto GABALÁN (patient, plays abroad)
10-Doctor Rogério LANDAU (doctor, the former president of the Landau Institute, but not as good as Gabalán, Selic or Sabin)
18-Doctor Ivo PITANGUY (doctor, arguably the best plastic surgeon of the world)
19-PEDREIRA (security guard of the Institute)

Tactics
0 - Middle of the road, neither overly offensive nor defensive. Hill and Boss, the wing backs, may move up into the midfield if the three-man midfield is being swamped. Most of the chances go to either O'Reilly or Alston, as Cloutier is more of a playmaker, playing just behind the front two. Penalties are taken by Alston, direct free kicks are normally taken by either Mosley or Koharsky.

RP Limitations
Choose my goalscorers - Yes, but try to keep the majority of them going to Alston or O'Reilly.
Godmod Scoring Events - No.
RP injuries to my players - Minor injuries only, I'll decide then if they're going to be out for future matches.

Ad'ihan official national team squad list for World Cup 39

Style modifier +3.

If my opponent RPs first, they may:
Name my goalscorers: Yes, PLEASE do.
Godmod scoring events: Yes
Godmod other creative events (including injuries): Yes
Injure my players: Yes - but avoid serious injuries
Give out yellow cards to my players: Yes
Give out red cards to my players: Yes

Ad'ihan play a 3-1-2-1-3 (diamond) formation.

Manager: Dave Hollow
Age: 32
At 32, Hollow is the youngest-ever manager of Ad'ihan. Formerly the assistant manager at Protectorate United, Hollow adopts a cautious attacking policy with many moves being created on the counter-attack.

Starting Goalkeeper: Ben Ropes
Age: 26
Ropes displaced Derrick Hunt as the starting goalkeeper after Hunt's poor form for the squad. Ropes was on the squad for World Cup 37 but did not make an appearance. In WC38, Ropes played every game for Ad'ihan.

Derrick Hunt and Harry Kemble, Ropes' backups at the last World Cup, have both announced that this will be their final cup, with Kemble not having gotten any caps since World Cup 36 qualifying.
Backup/subs: Harry Kemble, 29; Derrick Hunt, 33

Starting Left back: Kenneth Quinn
Age: 28
Kenneth Quinn regains his starting spot from John Bristow, who started all the games in World Cup 38, in the only major change to the lineup. Part-Casaran Bristow remains on the bench.
Backup/subs: John Bristow, 27

Starting Centre-half: Jed Fisher
Age: 26
Fisher retains his spot for the second cup in a row, and has promoted to captain of the team for the qualifiers. Pierre Marquis has retired from international football, and is replaced on the bench by Chad Hatch, who makes a return to the squad after missing out last cup.
Backup/subs: Chad Hatch, 28; Justin Stenstrom, 23
Retired: Pierre Marquis, 32

Starting Right back: Jeffery Dustin
Age: 24
After impressive performances at World Cup 38, the AFF selectors named Dustin on the squad for the second straight cup. Dustin, who has recently been signed by Orean United in the High League, is considered one of the most promising players in the country.
Backup/subs: Garry Gardner, 29

Starting defensive midfielder: Barry Miller
Age: 24
Barry Miller retains his spot after it was decided that the team would continue to play an anchorman in its formation for this cup. Technically gifted with a penchant for long-range efforts, Miller is occassionally caught of out position in no-mans land, leading to easy counter-attacks.
Backup/subs: Peter Schilling, 22

Starting right midfielder: Laurénzo Argent
Age: 30
Argent has announced that this will be his final tournament, with age catching up to him. Argent is perhaps most well-known for his contribution in setting up Ad'ihan's first-ever World Cup finals goal.

Backup Rick Smith retired from football after a vehicular accident, meaning a new replacement, young Tony Jones, 17, was called up.
Backup/subs: Anthony Jones, 17
Retired: Rick Smith, 28

Starting left midfielder: Phillip Brennan-Evans
Age: 25
Despite his uncle's resignation, Brennan-Evans sufficiently impressed to keep his spot in the team, proving his critics wrong.
Backup/subs: Darren Mills, 29

Starting attacking midfielder: Jake Holmes
Age: 23
Chris Stall is demoted to the bench in favour of Jake Holmes, who will be starting in a World Cup qualifying campaign for the first-time ever.
Backup/subs: Chris Stall, 26

Starting strikers: George Connor, 21; Steve Bryson, 23; Julian D'Abbo, 29
In a break with the past, Lenny Fowler, scorer of Ad'ihan's first ever Finals goal, has been dropped to the bench along with James McDonald. Julian D'Abbo is the only of the three from the last cup to keep his starting position, and is joined by Connor and Bryson, a proven partnership at youth level. Whether they can make the step up is a whole other matter.
Backup/subs: Lenny Fowler, 30; James McDonald, 28

Ad'ihan play all home qualifying matches at the 74,000-capacity Protectorate Stadium, with other stadia around the newly-independent country.

Home Alternate

Manager

Asanta Webber
Age - 20,440
Webber has been on the fringe of taking over this position for a few years now, but it wasn't until his succesful defence of the Oriental Cup that pushed him into prime position. Despite sacrificing Dwier Titenburg in doing so, the VSC apointed Webber two weeks after the win, and he has taken the job seriously whilst also managing his club side in the Rinaldi Gunners to another good season. He likes to play offensively and that should bode well for a few players who hadn't gotten a snuff until now, like Llyle Acevedo.

Assistant Manager

Marco Defoe
Age - 14,892
Two seasons removed from being named manager of the year in the Preimership, Defoe was selected by Webber to be his assistant. While Defoe is one of the least expierenced managers in the Premiership, he has proven that he can get the most out of his talent, that can not be said about the previous managers of the country, save Inaki Soler. It is quite likely that this attribute alone is why he gets a stint with the national program and what he does with that oppurtunity will detirmine how high or low his stock will be and his term here.

Goalie

42 Akihiko Yoshida, Rinaldi Gunners
Age - 30
Sex - M
Height: 6'3"
Weight: 176 lbs
Country of Origin: Assegai Developments
Definately the best keeper in the country, it's a sad thought that he would not gotten his chance had Valanora not formed when it did. With likely just this and perhaps one more tournament left in this great athlete, it will be the hope of many that the squad finally cashes in on the potential and reward him and the rest of the squad with a title.

Defenders

5 Mathias Nickel, Cheonjin (Daehanjeiguk)
Age - 816
Sex - M
Height: 5'10"
Weight: 164 lbs
Country of Origin: Elves Security Forces
Nickel is clearly the best defender the country has and has proved it time and time again on his club team and on the national stage. Not prone to make mistakes and very vocal in the back, there is little doubt that he will prove his worth once again, and could very well earn the armband next tournament.

49 Llyle Acevedo, Ranca Toco (Cafundeu)
Age - 806
Sex - M
Height: 6'0"
Weight: 164 lbs
Country of Origin: Elves Security Forces
A sturdy defender who has probably has deserved to be on the squad before now. He's more offensive than the rest of the backline, and that could of been what kept him off the squad. Yet with the move to Cafundeu and Webber be appointed manager, he has been gifted his chance and will likely prove to the country what he already believes, he is the second best defender from the country.

3 Ariel Mias, Soldarian FC
Age - 702
Sex - F
Height: 6'1"
Weight: 156 lbs
Country of Origin: Vyinta
A elf who found herself being raised in Vyinta instead of the ESF because her father was part of the battalion that was stationed there shortly after the island nation became a colony of the ESF. She grew up privalaged due to her fathers rank in the military, and was afforded the luxury of going to one of the many footballing academies in the ESF. Having spent years in their youth system, Ariel finally blossomed six years ago into a really talented defender. Able to play both in the middle of the line or out on the wing, her versatility makes her a coveted asset for Webber

Midfield

10 Ashley Riot, Rinaldi Gunners
Age: 32
Sex - M
Height: 6'0"
Weight: 173 lbs
Country of Origin: Assegai Developments
His personality alone should be enough for any national team to desire him, but when you add in his enormous skill and his outstanding leadership ability, it was without a moments doubt that he was retained despite his age. However, this will be the last tournament for the great ambassador of the sport.

20 Samantha Neesa, Char Sara Inferno
Age - 27
Sex - F
Height: 5'8"
Weight: 140 lbs
Country of Origin: Assegai Developments
Although it seems like she has been around forever, this young lady is a natural scorer who normally plays in a striker role. However with an already logjam at the striker position, her flexibility in being able to play out on the wing gets her not only on the squad, but starting as well. Due to her natural tendacy to go towards the net, she'll get herself out of position or lack on her defensive assignments which may become worrisome considering Kries on the other wing does the same.

14 Laborious Hawk, Petardos S/A (Cafundeu)
Age - 653
Sex -M
Height: 6'5"
Weight: 213 lbs
Country of Origin: Elves Security Forces
Hands down, the most difficult player on the squad for oppisition to gameplan against. His versatility, skill, and overall physical prowess is enough to give opposing managers fits and opposing players a difficult challange. With Kips and Night as targets to feed, you can bet on Hawk leading the assists on the squad come tournaments end.

15 Cristi Kries, AC Valanari
Age - 773
Sex - F
Height: 5'6"
Weight: 132 lbs
Country of Origin: Elves Security Forces
She certainly is not the strongest person on the squad, but she is quite the accomplished winger. Having lead AC Lea Monde to a title while leading them in goals and assists before moving back home this season, she is a proven dangerious player out wide, with the touch and control of the ball to create havoc on opposing markers.

40 Scott Soldarian, Albrecht Turkish FC (Candelaria and Marquez)
Age - 567
Sex - M
Hieght: 6'1"
Weight: 163 lbs
Country of Origin: Elves Security Forces
The closest thing to royalty inside the country, Scott hails from a very historic family that saved the country early in history. He is used to the luxuries of life but that has yet to take away from his efforts in becoming the best footballer he can be, nor does it make it any harder for his teammates to get along with. Whilst still a tad young to be starting, he has proven at Raynor City that he has the talent to be in this position.

Strikers

2 Yan Kips, Penders (Cafundeu)
Age - 921
Sex - M
Height: 6'2"
Weight: 168 lbs
Country of Origin: Elves Security Forces
Yan has become one of the better strikers in Valanora, and proved it time and time again two years ago at the third Oriental Cup. He has temendous pace and an overall great game. Having played with Kiso's parents during his time at Raynor City, it should come easy for this expierenced striker to work well with their son, and expect to see this attacking combo be one of the most potent in the tournament.

9 Kiso Night, Rinaldi Gunners
Age 40
Sex - M
Height: 6'1"
Weight: 164 lbs
Country of Origin: Elves Security Forces
Kiso is and will continue to be one of the greatest strikers to have ever lived. He had the heiratage, he had the skill, yet no one knew if he had the maturity. Several tournaments later, and with him just a few goals off the record for the national team, there is little doubt the lad has the maturity. Yet that will be put to the test, as he will be paired with the third different strike partner in three tournamets.

Candelaria And Marquez national football team squad for World Cup 39

Candelaria And Marquez (http://ns.goobergunch.net/wiki/candelaria_and_marquez.html) is the primary political entity of the island group known as the Candelarias. Universally referred to as C&M; the correct if irritating national adjective is Candelariasian, though Candelarian is international ubiquitous and a wide variety of other manglings are in regular use around the world.

C&M, now on their fourth World Cup campaign, qualified for the cup proper for the first time in WC38, where they achieved the distinction of being on the end of the worst ever defeat (6-0) at the WC finals. Rather fittingly for a country that prides itself on its inability to stick out in a crowd, this honour was matched by Ariddia’s 6-0 drubbing of Northern Bettia just days later.

C&M are, somehow, a world-standard force in under-21 soccer, though the nation is perhaps best known for its increasingly perverse refusal to acknowledge the existence of anything ‘weird’ among their fellow football-playing nations; including gnomes, elves, dwarfs, androids, monks from an alternate dimension, sentient mice, Greek letters and aliens. Oddly enough however the country has no problem with the use of Time Dilation devices to make sure everybody plays on more or less the same footing; largely because no-one really understands it. The country’s government has been known to put pressure on the press, as well as take active - and often extraordinary - measures themselves, to make sure the Candelariasian people don’t discover all the aforementioned odd stuff, or indeed that their governments have been lying to them for the past god knows how many years.

This can all get tediously repetitive. There’s also a back story involving elves, apes and Geordie goblins, but that’s really only for my own amusement.

Otherwise, C&M is thriving, tolerantish multicultural democracy that also manages to be uninspiringly British.

Squad:

Manager: Sixty-six year-old Lloyd Donnelly becomes the senior C&M side’s third official manager following the loss of Mark Baker and the resignation due to “stress” of Ricardo Garcia. The only real man in the running, Donnelly brings years of experience having won the CMSC title with Green Island and Albrecht FC in the past, and was last seen two years ago lifting the second Di Bradini Cup.

Donnelly is known for being a fiddler, and will not be afraid to change personnel and formations at the drop of a hat. He’s particularly keen on using what he considers to be more versatile players, though his changes from the Baker/Garcia era have been relatively modest with only nine new faces in the squad. Eight of his starting XI are also likely to be pre-established regulars.

His preferred formation is a 2-3-2-1-2, utilising wing-backs to provide width and with a narrow but balanced midfield and two strikers. Such a move will likely prove controversial given C&M’s production line of wide talent, particularly on the left, but Donnelly will expect to be judged on results not his more surprising omissions. Matteo Corradini is likely to be the fall guy of any tactical variation, with Cornelisse or Ma coming in for games against less offensive or weaker sides; while the current form of Joe Cunningham could force the manager to switch to a press-friendly 4-4-2, with Ramiro Novo moving to the left wing.

What’s most notable however is that C&M are expected to play in a mildly attacking style this time around, and would thus be completely unrecognisable from the dull-as-ditchwater force the worlds have previously got used to. That said there’s little pace in this squad and many pundits remain concerned about the Big Blues’ counter-attacking chances.

Donnelly’s assistant Rod Orión, while Mick Lugo is the fitness coach and the former C&M right-back and celebrity gambling addict, Damien Sono, will also be in the dressing room.

---------Novo---Vélez---------
-------------Cassa-------------
-----Corradini------Caras-----
--Yalçin----Head----Burgos--
-------De Wilde-----Fu----------
------------Martinez------------


Stats (more or less) correct as of C&M's final WC39 Qualifying game v. Nire and Nire

Goalkeepers:

22. Oberon Martinez, Aged 30, Albrecht Turkish, STARTER, 36 caps
The second of only two goalkeepers to have played in a competitive game for the senior side, Martinez remains pretty much undisputed in the role, as much as it sticks in Donnelly’s craw to pick any A.Turks players. Always an athletic player, though one must worry about his age catching up with him, he’s still crap from corners.

1. Ozzy Stefano, 32, United Trilan [Kura-Pelland], 1 cap
Coming off the back of a title-winning season for his Kura-Pellandi club, the veteran Stefano had the benefit of a sturdy defence in front of him but still impressed with a series of outlandish saves – particularly from the penalty spot. Even at his age however the blood can rush to his head forcing him to make silly decisions; but he deserves his place in the squad if only for the experience he’ll bring to the dressing room.

23. Harry Primrose, 27, Marquez-Onwere, 1 cap
A mainstay of C&M squads since the Baptism of Fire, Primrose has still only made a single appearance. Gay as you like.

Defenders:

12. Walter Jordan, 28, Turks’ Club, STARTING RIGHT WING-BACK, 26 caps (7 as sub), 1 goal
A surprising choice to remain in the squad, Jordan would be a direct replacement for Burgos despite Donnelly’s earlier assertions that Caras could play at right-back. Discarded by Garcia, famed rabbit-breeder Jordan retains his place after his move to Turks’ Club.

17. Özkan Yalçin, 24, Candelaria Arsenal, STARTING LEFT WING-BACK, 10 caps
No less of a surprise on the opposite wing, though few can argue that C&M’s other Ozzy was nothing less than outstanding in helping to make his tiny club side into title-challengers. Quick and comfortable on the ball, he can tackle and cross but his right foot is still next to useless and he’s still far from a natural defender.

13. Lorenzo De Wilde, 27, Cheonjin [Daehanjeiguk], STARTING CENTRE-BACK, 29 caps (2 as sub)
Has been used both as a left-back and centre-back by Baker and Garcia, and even in midfield on occasion; the Han-based player is the sort of flexible star that Donnelly adores. Good in the air, on both sides of the pitch, and a natural leader too despite his oft-wild off-pitch behaviour.

5. Benji Fu, 32, Albrecht FC, STARTING CENTRE-BACK, CAPTAIN, 72 caps
What more needs to be said about the Big Blues’ joint most capped player? That he remains in the side may be testament to a rather poor selection of centre-backs on offer, but Fu is still an elegant player with an excellent range of passing and good awareness.

2. William Burgos, 24, América [Cafundéu], 12 caps
A surprise inclusion, the attacking right-back has since fallen out of favour with Donnelly. Burgos found adapting to the CMSC first division difficult at times, particularly with his ongoing health problems. Never the less, he’s a comfortable all-round performer, and a favourite of Donnelly’s from the 2DBC, but his habit of picking up silly bookings remains.

3. Doug Szczechowicz, 31, Albrecht Turkish, 36 caps (2 as sub), 1 goal
Another player with a habit of leaving his foot in, Doug is better overlapping with a left winger than running his favoured flank himself.

18. Tom Redway, 26, Port of Clotaire, 6 caps (4 as sub)
A late developer having seldom been thought of as a top-flight player, the technically proficient and physically strong Redway had a stormer last season next to Zwanzgug’s Instonenext and could well push into the C&M first team before the post-qualifying competition.

15. Mars Douaydari, 24, Marquez-Onwere, 3 caps
Another large but seemingly superfluous centre-back, Douaydari was a vital part of the MarquezOW CMSC-winning and the 2DBC-winning sides. One suspects his primary purpose is to be thrown on to provide presence in the box in the ninetieth minute.

Midfielders:

14. Ben Head, 28, Green Island, STARTING HOLDING MIDFIELDER, 53 caps, 3 goals
A find of Baker’s pushed into the C&M side before he’d even played a top flight game, Donnelly shows faith in Head as the Big Blues’ fundamental midfield pivot. A good blocker with a strong range of passing, Head is the public face of Spiritual Healing with Horses Magazine.

4. Matteo Corradini, 24, Albrecht FC, STARTING CENTRAL MIDFIELDER, 31 caps, 3 goals
A holding player pure and simple for his club, Corradini has shown a real creative talent for C&M but as under Baker’s reign he may find himself often sacrificed for more out-and-out attacking players.

16. O’Sullivan Caras, 29, Clube Imperial [Cafundéu], STARTING CENTRAL MIDFIELDER, 68 caps, 7 goals
C&M’s other other Ozzy, Caras has been a mainstay of the Big Blues since the BoF days without ever being loved by fans or the press. He has always had pace and a good cross – and not just the ones he insists on dangling off every appendage available – but history may decree that he never quite lived up to potential. None the less, Central United believed in him sufficiently to fork out and Clube Imperial to take him on after their relegation, but Donnelly will expect more goals and for Caras to adapt to a more central role.

7. José Felipe Cassumba Domingos, 24, Marquez-Onwere, STARTING ATTACKING MIDFIELDER, 44 caps (7 as sub), 10 goals
Lightweight but immensely talented silky-smooth star, Cassa should go on to be the Big Blues’ most-capped player. He’ll play behind the front two, but could slot in on the right if needs be.

8. Connor Mengucci, 22, América [Cafundéu] - on loan at Candelaria-Allemali, 9 caps (6 as sub)
A key player in the two DBC victories, Mengucci is a powerful holding player in the image of Head and a future C&M captain.

21. Ben Edwards, 23, Albrecht FC, 8 caps (6 as sub), 1 goal
Not the greatest last season for the heavy-set right midfielder who offers great freekicks coupled with a surprisingly delicate touch. The son of legendary Candelariasian sportswriter Tracker Edwards, Ben perhaps most importantly brings a much-needed dull name.

20. Jos Cornelisse, 31, FC Lasft [Cafundéu], 50 caps (9 as sub), 5 goals
C&M’s prince of the stepover is a sacrifice of Donnelly’s indifference towards wingers, but the long-time Cafundéu-based player must adapt to not being able to hug the flanks or settle for a role as a sub once more.

6. Fred Ma, 27, Gwangdong [Daehanjeiguk], 14 caps (7 as sub), 2 goals
All-action attacking midfielder who is another player that many are surprised Donnelly has retained.

Forwards:

10. Ignacio Vélez, 28, Cafundó do Juto [Cafundéu], STARTING STRIKER, 50 caps (8 as sub), 27 goals
A slow but deadly forward, Vélez’s international goalscoring cannot be faulted. He is perhaps however better as a loan front-man with pacier men behind him, and may ludicrously not be a guaranteed starter.

11. Ramiro Novo, 27, Parwood City [Kura-Pelland], STARTING FORWARD, 14 caps, 11 goals
Continuing the large Hispanic contingent in this squad, Novo started life as a powerful left winger before being recreated as a striker in Kura-Pelland where he became last season the world’s top-scoring Candelariasian. He and Vélez are a far from natural partnership however.

9. Joe Cunningham, 22, Albrecht FC, 9 caps (8 as sub), 5 goals
Fifteen goals for the under-21s speak for themselves, with tiddly but quick and lethal striker Cunningham a potential world-beater.

19. Holger Pi, 26, Turks’ Club, 9 cap (6 as sub), 3 goals
The Germano-Han striker of Pruxian ancestry, Pi returns to the squad after three years away following an impressive first season back with boyhood team Turks’ Club. Small and quick, there are concerns that he fails to really offer anything different to the striking options.

Stadiums:

C&M will split their games between several stadia, and the location of matches should be posted here or in the RP thread. In the event of any oversight in this regard, pick between the Millerman Sheppard Stadium, Albrecht (http://ns.goobergunch.net/wiki/albrecht.html) and the Estadio Arrigo Nacional, Arrigo (http://ns.goobergunch.net/wiki/arrigo.html).

Ariddian players during World Cup 36

The team remains virtually unchanged. Mary E'it, aged 36 now, has retired, and is replaced by a West Ariddian, Simon Brine. Officially, the team represents the Federation of the Ariddian Isles, but all the players other than Brine are from the PDSRA (or the Ariddian Arctic Islands, in the case of Hwang Kumchol and Ötei Kim).

The team's coach is Fr. Innocent of Ariddia (http://ns.goobergunch.net/wiki/fr.html), former national player for the Archregimancy team.

GK: Jarl Knudsen (3)
DEF: Jeremy Isaacs (cpt, 8); Naoki Tonnelier (13); Simon Brine (22)
MID: Hwang Kumchol (5); Marek Petras (21); Si Ewe (7); Es Chichirua (9)
ATT: Jamilah Shahrour (http://ns.goobergunch.net/wiki/jamilah_shahrour.html) (20); Yuto Takahara (11); Abdel Mohamed (2)

Substitutes:
GK: Laurent Malin (1); Anastasya Loskov (23)

Please note the following:
*The team will perform the ulek (http://ns.goobergunch.net/wiki/ulek.html) at the beginning of each match. The opponent team is expected to stand and face the ulek. Disrespectful behaviour during the ulek would be perceived by many Ariddians as offensive.
*Jamilah Shahrour (http://ns.goobergunch.net/wiki/jamilah_shahrour.html) will make the most of visiting your nation to look into cases of human and animal rights abuses there, and will prepare a scathing report. Please feel free to create a diplomatic incident by having her arrested, deported, banned from entering, beaten up by corrupt police or company goons, or anything else along those lines. But don't kill her.
*Ariddia is a semi-tropical, multi-ethnic, multi-cultural socialist nation, with a strong communitarian ethos (solidarity, caring and sharing, a sense of being part of a community). Indigenous Ariddians (http://ns.goobergunch.net/wiki/wymgani.html) make up about a third of the population. Ariddians are vegetarian. Ariddia is a moneyless society; however, foreign visitors must use money to purchase goods and services. For more information on Ariddia, see here (http://ns.goobergunch.net/wiki/ariddia.html).
*Ariddia and West Ariddia are both part of the Federation of the Ariddian Isles, but are distinct, fully self-governing States, with only the most symbolic form of federal unity. Unlike Ariddia, West Ariddia is a capitalist society, operating with a virtually unregulated free market.
*If you RP first, feel free to choose the stadium in which the match is held. Feel free also to post about visitors from your nation seeing the local sites. The articles linked to in the list below suggest sites of interest and tourist attractions. The Ariddian Isles have seven stadia which may be used for the World Cup:
- Stade National Rêvane (http://ns.goobergunch.net/wiki/r_vane.html)-Sud
- Wavecrest (http://ns.goobergunch.net/wiki/wavecrest.html) City Stadium
- Haven (http://ns.goobergunch.net/wiki/haven_city.html)-Port-Nouveau Stadium
- Darras Olympic Stadium (in the vicinity of Rêvane)

- SportOn! (http://ns.goobergunch.net/wiki/sporton.html) Stadium in Aqeyr (http://ns.goobergunch.net/wiki/aqeyr.html), West Ariddia

For RPing purposes: Ariddia is perhaps most famously associated (by foreigners) with the following:
- PINA (http://ns.goobergunch.net/wiki/public_international_news_ariddia.html) (international news channel)
- (healthy fast food restaurant chain, present in many countries)
- [url=http://ns.goobergunch.net/wiki/abel_moeaki.html]Daybreak (]Santé![/url) (best-known Ariddian novel and film)
- Progress Tower (http://ns.goobergunch.net/wiki/progress_tower.html) (famous monument)
- Harmonia (http://ns.goobergunch.net/wiki/harmonia.html) (famous monument)
- being the homeland of the Wymgani people (http://ns.goobergunch.net/wiki/wymgani.html)
- and, of course, the World Cup itself.

Visitors who take a slightly deeper interest in Ariddia may know more about its literature (http://ns.goobergunch.net/wiki/ariddian_literature.html) (notably the works of Annabelle Laurier (http://ns.goobergunch.net/wiki/annabelle_laurier.html)) and films (http://forums.jolt.co.uk/showpost.php?p=11086434&postcount=8). They may also know of other notable monuments and sites (http://ns.goobergunch.net/wiki/category_monuments_and_notable_sites_in_ariddia.html). They may know that Chang Xue (http://ns.goobergunch.net/wiki/chang_xue.html) is Ariddian.

http://www.starblaydestudios.co.uk/Images/SFA-Logo.gif
Starblaydia's WC39 Roster
Back in the swing of things

The Staff
BM. Betanii Marrones*, Head Coach, 50
48 Caps, 6 Goals (Uncapped at Under-21 Level)
Starblaydia's first female manager of the national team celebrates her half century this year, but Betanii was a highly skilled Centre-Back in her youth, who went to three World Cups and made her name as the first-ever female captain of the World Cup side in Starblaydia's last campaign before their international hiatus after World Cup 34. She's coached Starblaydia since AOCAF20, through to the Cup of Harmony after World Cup 38, where Starblaydia won the Asiago Award for toughest schedule.

AI. Apollina Iakovakis*, Assistant Coach, 45 - Indigenous World Cup Winner
23 Caps, 4 Goals (Uncapped at Under-21 Level)
A competitive attacking midfielder in her playing days, Apollina won the Indigenous World Cup in her playing days. She later went into coaching and currently manages Starblaydia's Under-21s, who she has led to third place finishes at both the inaugural Di Bradini Cup and International Justantina Cup.

The Goalkeepers
1. Fernando Rodriguez, GK, 31 - Cafundó do Juta (Cafundeu)
45 Caps (7 Caps at Under-21 Level)
First installed as the number-one goalie for the 20th AOCAF, Fernando is now the veteran of Starblaydi goalkeeping. Somewhat of a confidence 'keeper, he has tended to either keep a clean sheet or concede a hat-full. Received an unjust red card in the opening Baptism of Fire match but came back to keep six clean sheets in a row on the way to a Final defeat. World Cup 38 saw him concede a single winning goal in eight of the fourteen games, something he will hope to remedy this time around.

12. Kostas Nikolaidis, GK, 28 - Hecia
2 Caps (10 Caps at Under-21 Level)
Big and powerful, and with a good aerial command of his penalty area, Kostas has developed into a very good goalie at Hecia. A decent run in he Under-21s, however, hasn't translated into a senior starting position. It's now or never for Kostas to rpove his claim on Rodriguez's jersey isn't just all hype.

19. Sandra van Agmark*, GK, 24 - Internashionale
Uncapped (9 Caps at Under-21 Level)
Only Starblaydia's third ever female goalkeeper, after Paola Mendez and Triinu Arnulpho, Sandra cemented her place as Under-21 goalie through a succession of tournaments and is now trying to prove she deserves the #1 shirt. Expect her to appear once or twice in the Qualifiers, but don't rule out her being lobbed from distance - at 5'9" she's one of the shortest 'keepers since Dwarf Balin Grimzabar.

The Defenders
2. Jae Chang-hwa*, RB, 23 - Internashionale
5 Caps (18 Caps, 2 Goals at Under-21 Level)
She's Starblaydia's current footballing pin-up girl and a fairly decent full-back, too. Fresh from captaining the Under-21s in the 3rd Di Bradini Cup to a Quarter-Final, she's also managed to oust Ornvidar Bazraltek from the starting line-up - no mean feat. Expect her to do her damndest to get on the scoresheet for her country, too, just not from a penalty: Jae has twice missed spot-kicks in crucial Under-21 penalty shoot-outs.

3. Edmundo Rivolli, LB, 27 - Rinaldi Gunners (ESF)
7 Caps (12 Caps at Under-21 Level)
Snapped up by a side in Elves Security Forces, Edmundo has not gained a starting position in any squad until now. Since he was booted from the Under-21 Left-Back position by Leandro Perheira, Edmundo has worked hard on his game and, with Perheira moving to centre-back, Edmundo now has to step up to the plate.

5. Roque Bravo, Captain, CB, 31 - Tabeck FC
46 Caps, 2 Goals (7 Caps, 2 Goals at Under-21 Level)
The young man has developed into a true veteran, captain of club and country. In taking the armband from the retiring Lex Panarii, Roque has fulfilled his destiny predicted for him since he was a teenager, since he captained Starblaydia's Under-21s in the first Di Bradini Cup. Roque is a great reader of the game, built in the style of a tall, elegant reader of the game.

6. Leandro Perheira, L/CB, 24 - Soldarian FC (ESF)
29 Caps, 1 Goal (15 Caps, 1 Goal at Under-21 Level)
Soldarian FC have taken Leandro's natural athleticism and defensive ability and re-shaped him into more of a strong, tough central defender. His usefulness and versatility have also seen him instantly leap above the likes of Sebastian Brunner, Milo Conigglia and Marco Lima in the pecking order.

13. Ornvidar Bazraltek^, RB, 32 - Karak Ungor Chiefs
39 Caps, 6 Goals (7 Caps, 1 Goal at Under-21 Level)
The one and only Dwarf in the squad Orn is, at thirty-two, the oldest player to be included in a very young side. Not only a great right-back, Orn has the ability to move up to the right side of midfield. An excellent sprinter, with a fierce tackle on any opposing player with the ball.

14. Sebastian Brunner, CB, 28 - Hallad Reavers
21 Caps (17 Caps, 1 Goal at Under-21 Level)
Big and huge and strong and tough, Sebastian is a one-man wrecking ball. His lack of finesse has, however, hindered him in Betanii Marrones' side full of playmakers and crisp pass-and-movers. With ten minutes to go and a goal required, however, don't count against him coming on to mix it up and total cause havoc at set pieces.

20. Arkady Kaneda, CB, 21 - Vecchio Victors
Uncapped (11 Caps at Under-21 Level)
The Vics Youth Academy strikes again, as the lanky, pale-skinned kid comes of age and takes his place in his first senior squad. With so many full-back options, his central defensive skill sees him get his first opportunity - he won't be one to miss it, and will strive to be in the starting line-up by World Cup 40.

The Midfielders
4. Kwame Jabir, DM, 27 - Penningworth United
7 Caps, 1 Goal (17 Caps, 2 Goals at Under-21 Level)
A former Under-21 Captain who previously found his preferred defensive midfield position unavailable to him, the retirement of Panarii, upgrading of Di Angelo and addition of two defensive midfielder slots to the starting formation has opened up the door for the under-used central man. Penningworth's captain is desperate to prove himself, and swaps black-and-white stripes for white with purple trim.

7. Antonio Mora, RM, 29 - Iskara Daii
38 Caps, 4 Goals (7 Caps, 2 Goals at Under-21 Level)
A man who has progressed from a simple, solid, industrious right-midfielder with a penchant for crossing into a full-on right wing creative machine. Mora has blossomed in his role and now finds himself in a more attacking position than ever, part of an attacking midfield three. If Starblaydia have to dig in and switch to 4-4-1-1, he'll be the link between the midfield and lone striker as Di Angelo and Canildo drop back

8. Kalia Canildo*, LW/LB, 28 - Corinthian Spirits
40 Caps, 3 Goals (17 Caps, 3 Goals at Under-21 Level)
She started as a left-back but has progressed to a real winger, and her incredible dribbling runs often end up in the opposition penalty area or with a cross pinged across the face of the goal. Her final ball still needs some work, as row Z is often the result just as much as the back of the net.

9. Alfonso Di Angelo, A/DM, 25 - Pernetas EC (Cafundeu)
35 Caps, 9 Goals (11 Caps, 9 Goals at Under-21 Level)
His defensive abilities have always been recognised, but it took Alfonso time to prove his potential as a potent attacking threat, but by World Cup 38 he was Starblaydia's single starting Attacking Midfielder. Now he is part of a team of three, and will be the fulcrum for Starblaydia's entire offensive effort. He, therefore, has more pressure on his shoulders than ever, but everything has come within his reach so far, so why not this?

11. Juan Oscar, L/DM, 27 - Pernetas EC (Cafundeu)
18 Caps (11 Caps at Under-21 Level)

15. Jack Stafador, C/DM, 21 - Marquez-Onwere FC (Candelaria And Marquez)

3-2-3-2 style (+2 modifier)

Coach- Tina Conroy- age 43. The surprise winner of a hard fought debate over who would be this team’s coach. After much back and forth between the supporters of Coach Jones and the religious rallies supporting Coach Andrews, it was thought that Conroy was chosen as a compromise candidate. The first female Tynelian Coach, this women’s all time Tynelian scoring leader looks to take the team beyond where the “boys” got them the last twelve times. As almost the entire team from last Cup returns hopes are high that she may pull it off.

-------------Dalton--------W.MacDougal
Grant-------------Wilster------------Harris
------------Davies----------Lloyd
Stossels--------White--------Maximov
---------------------Ellis---------------

Keepers-
G-Rachel Ellis age 30-starter-Fresh off her semifinals leading effort, Ellis is back again hoping to bring the team even further this time. Touted as the next Amy Whiteworth, her world cup efforts to date have more than justified that title.

G- Matt Mitchell age 26- reserve- a young up and coming keeper, and the starter for the Icemen, Mitchell finds his way blocked by Ellis for the starter’s role. However he is expected to see some action this time around.

Strikers-
F- Marcus Dalton- age 32- starter- The Sniper is back for his fourth cup and is expected to be the leading scorer despite the slightly more conservative style this time around. However Dalton will be hot on his heels once again after being edged by a single goal in the last Cup

F- William MacDougal- age 30- starter- The MacDougal clan continues to churn out strikers and William is the latest of the crew to make the national squad. Edging Dalton this time around in taking the scoring title this year, MacDougal is looking to do the same in the WC tallies.

F- Mandy Lynn- age 24- reserve- Lynn is looking to fill the shoes of Tina Conroy- the highest scoring female player in Tynelian international history. Now in her second cup, Lynn still finds herself on the bench but is expected to get regular playing time to spell the older Dalton and MacDougal.

Forwards-

F- Aaron Grant- age 28- starter- Grant was the league leader in goal differential this season for the third time in four years and works exceptionally well with his teammate Dalton having played together the past three seasons. Making sure this edge is played to the fullest, Coach Conroy has made sure Grant and Dalton are on the same wing as this arrangement worked so well last Cup.

F/M(reserve)- Miranda Harris- age 30-starter- Another steady player who is often overlooked because of her non-flashy style and lack of scoring. However Harris was again in the top 10 in MVP voting this season for the third straight season due to her way of reading the field and is versatile enough that she has even toyed with playing midfield this season.

F- John Wilster- age 26- starter- A future star, who’s time has arrived, Wilster has finally settled in as a setup man and has backed off the attack since his rookie season where he tried to do both to mixed results. However he has a good eye for passing lanes and should fill in nicely for Burke, the man he’s replacing in the lineup.

F- Lyle Burke- age 35-reserve- Now in his third Cup, the senior member of the team has taken a step back to let the younger legs carry the load. Still a skilled ballhandler and passer, Burke is expected to see late action to preserve a lead or rally the team from behind.


Midfielders-
M- Angela Davies- age 30- starter-As silent as ever, Davies shocked her teammates by yelling “Darn!” after an ill-advised pass in this season’s championship match. Preferring to let her on field action do the talking she finally made her way up to #1 in the recent “most difficult sports stars to interview” poll due to her camera-shy ways. Many feel she’ll hold this title for many years.

M-Bernard Lloyd- age 31-starter- A British blueblood if you listen to what his parents say about themselves, Lloyd is regardless a very good all around player and the type of rock solid bloke you want to see in the midfield directing traffic. Was slightly hampered by an Achilles injury in the early part of the season.

M/D- Kara Brown- age 22- reserve- Back for her second Cup, Brown was a surprise entry once again as hard luck David Michaels suffered yet another injury that kept him off the team this season. Michaels has vowed to be back next time but until then Brown will continue her nickname of “Miss Accidental.” Brown is a flexible option on the field but some feel she doesn’t belong here.

Defenders-

D- John White- age 248- starter- The two time defender of the year makes his world cup debut, though some claim he was on the bench during WC37. An excellent lane blocker and angle breaker, White looks to have a bright future for many World Cups to come.

D- Alexander Maximov- age-26- starter –The first Orthodox member of the Tynelian team, Maximov has something to prove here, especially to his church’s nemesis The New Othydoxic Christian Church of Reborn Othydoxy, which has grown by leaps and bounds in the last decade. Maximov was one of the few who wholeheartedly approved the firing of last Cup’s coach Lee Andrews after the discovery of his ties to the NOCCRO.

D- Jacob Stossels age 19- starter. Dynasty games continue as the first third- generation Tynelian soccer player joins the team as Jacob, grandson of John and nephew of Jane Stossels follows the family defensive tradition. While a bit unpredictable Stossels has caught some flak from those who feel he got in on name value alone and not due to ability despite his winning the rookie of the year this season.

D/M- Cindy Leigh- age 18- reserve. Runner-up in the rookie of the year voting, Leigh is a versatile player who can move up to midfield if needed. The quickest member of the team she should be a good burst of energy to the team when she comes in the games late.

Penalty kickers- 1)Dalton, 2)W.MacDougal, 3)Lynn, 4) Davies, 5)Grant

Jariss squad
Style -5 (or whatever max defense is)
Lineup 4-5-1

After the tsunami ravaged much of the country shortly after WC 36 ended((OOC- hopefully I can get a RP for this in pre-cup- schedule kinda busy)), the past six years were spent rebuilding and though some work has to be done still, the government felt that added support for the relief fund could come from returning to the international stage at the World Cup. All players and staff will wear black armbands as a symbol of mourning for their fellow countrymen and women who lost their lives during the disaster.

Coach- Leni Banama age 43- Despite the loss of his wife Gia during the tsunami, Leni decided the best way to remember her as well as the others lost was to try to lead the Jariss squad this time around. Though turnout was low he barely managed to field a full squad. Expectations are low this time around for the team, but the fact that they are out there competing is expected to be a rallying point for the country. He is also listed on the roster as a reserve Defender.


G- Tali Vindu age 26 (starter) Jariss’ only keeper in its world cup history has fully recovered from injuries which set her out of action for over a year and made it her mission to come back to full form and lead the team from behind once more. Gone is her moodiness after a bad performance as she now believes after what Jariss has gone through losing a soccer match is insignificant in comparison.

G/D- Kia Paru- age 23 (reserve) Due to various reasons it was rather difficult for the team to find a reserve keeper this time but Paru volunteered despite spending most of her time as a defender. However she has served as a keeper a few times which put her way ahead of the rest of the team and grabbed the reserve’s role.

F- Minna Dawo age 28 (starter) Jariss’ all time scoring leader in international play despite barely being in double digits, Dawo also returned after surviving the disaster fairly well compared to her countrymen.

F- Li Chu age 25 (reserve) Chu also returns to the team despite losing his left hand in the disaster. Joking that he was right handed anyway, Chu embodies the resilient nature of the Jarissian spirit and Coach Banama couldn’t turn away such dedication.

M- Joa Giranu age 26 (starter) Being off isle at the time of the disaster, Joa managed to avoid any physical injuries though his family was lost in the disaster. Now playing to honor their memories, Giranu is expected to give it his all this time around.

M- Andre Miware age 38 (starter) A bit old but still willing, the one time tour guide has come back for one last run in the cup. Under normal circumstances he probably would have retired but given the numbers situation he has come back again despite having lost a step due to age.

M- Fae Numuu age 24 (starter) A good passer and ballhandler she is fast enough and flexible enough to play anywhere but has settled in at midfield though in a pinch she could come back to defense.

M- Lou Hitua- age 22 (starter) a freshman at the time of the disaster, Lou gained fame for the way he saved two classmates from certain drowning by diving in and pulling them to safety. Lou was a top swimmer back then and his soccer ability is limited but Coach Banama thought it a good morale boost to put him on the team when Lou showed up at the tryouts. He does posess a strong kicking leg due to his lower body strength as a swimmer.

M- Goa Kitii- age 21 (starter)- sister of Gia Banama, Goa announced that she would be taking her sister’s spot on the team and no one was to argue, least of all her brother-in-law. Goa is fast on her feet and has the basics of the game down. Hopefully that will be enough for her to get by.

D- Fya Panai age 26 (starter) the best defender on the Spiders in her high school days she was a clear choice to make the team when Jariss was announced to be making its World Cup return. The leader defensively, she has fully recovered from the broken leg suffered at the time of the disaster.

D- Goru Lyani age 27 (starter) Goru also avoided the disaster having been playing locally in Errinundera at the time. Returning home, he has donated half of his salary to relief efforts across the island and continues to be active in volunteer work between seasons.

D- Telao Rashi age 34 (starter) A firefighter normally, Telao has grown frustrated that he has not been able to save everyone lost during the disaster and feels the only thing he could do to help more people is to join the team and help bring word of the plight to the rest of the world. His actual soccer knowledge is suspect but his drive to succeed is quite formidable.

D- Riena Querre age 30 (starter) The third out of country playerer on the squad, being overseas doing graduate work in geology and volcanic studies, Riena has also dedicated herself to working towards a better way to predict tsunamis while continuing her soccer playing overseas as well.

D/M- Nia Juilo age 19 (reserve) Nia and her family happened to be making the pilgrimage to ‘The Peak’ at the time of the disaster and being on the highest point on the isle saved them all from certain death. Taking this as a sign that God has spared her for some purpose, Nia believes it is her duty to join the team to help her countrymen though her skill on the field. Despite limited playing time, she has good skills and is flexible enough to cover on both defense and midfield as she refuses to let herself get locked into one specific role on the team.

D- Coach Leni Banama age 43- (reserve)

Jariss Arena- seats 4500, standing room 200- located in the capital Jariss City home of now only 2600, barely half of what it was pre-tsunami. In fact the Arena can now fit practically the entire population of the isle in it. However some damage in the west end is still in need of repair and these 400 seats have been cordoned off for matters of safety. The Ultimate Frisbee Extreme Team will once again be performing at halftime during all home matches.

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.

Information and Notes
-Casari will be playing home games at the brand new Tyrellia World Stadium, holding a disgusting 110,393 fans with two complete seating areas and a third high altitude terrace on the ends, made of the classic Casaran Method of soaring steel girders and marble facade. Try not to burn it down.

-Casarans will do what Casarans have done for years- 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, mock your pregame rituals (they will laugh at them, especally the Ulek, which might promote some kind of drinking game among the fans with each useless grunt), being nice (they'll come up with nasty chants about your team, manager, mothers, fathers, and other associates and post them on the internet), and won't mind taking a run at your best player (they just don't care).

Notes

- The Fujisawan Territories is closed to immigration and the head coach of the Fujisawan Territories, Stephen Distefano is one of only two non-Fujisawans to ever be allowed to immigrate to the Territories with government approval. The sole purpose for his immigration is to coach the Fujisawan Territories World Cup team.

- In the Territories, association football is known as zeokit.

- The guidelines for World Cup team selection set by the Zeokit National Conference of the Fujisawan Territories were a minimum of five female players, one player from the Men’s National Team, one player from the Women’s National Team, and a minimum of at least one player for each of the Territorial Islands: Iwosaka, Sapsaki, Jokata, Sanawa, Narasaka, Okazaki, and Akihiro. The majority of players hail from Hoji, the capitol city on the island of Iwosaka.

- Stadiums:
Crosscom Global Arena
Used by: Iwosaka Island Capacity: 41,505

Sanjuro Mashita Stadium
Used by: University of Hoji Capacity: 43,080

Olympic Park Stadium

the national aquatic championships. The facility has had a temporary floor installed over
the pool and turf placed on top of that for the WC39 qualifying games.
{RP note: Due to poor construction feel free to have one or two people fall through the floor
and into the water during any games at this stadium.} This stadium will only be used for high
demand games.
Gull Rock University Sports Centre (capacity-5000 seats, 15000 on the grass hills)
--Situated on the campus of the university this field will play host to the majority of
Algal States home games.The Seats consist of wooden bleachers on either side of centre field with
grass hills going the rest of the way around the field. The field is situated 200 metres from the
aptly named gull rock for which the campus is named.

Notes about Algal States:
-Climate is comparable to the North Atlantic and strong winds are common.
-The Nation is only starting to recover from a prolonged media strike that left the nations'
communications infrastructure in pieces. Progress is being made on repairs but there is a lot of
work to be done so currently the most common form of communication is by VHF radio which
was the first to be restored.

THE ARCHREGIMANCY BRINGS YOU

THE WORLD CUP 39 SQUAD

First of all, everyone except newbies knows that the Archregimancy is a nation of Eastern Orthodox Christian monks, right? Newbies may also need to be reminded that, only some four World Cups ago, the Archregimancy was a top-10 team; our recent slide through the rankings stands as definitive proof that our ranking system does allow for movement in both directions (small consolation though that may be to the monks). Feel free to RP our recent fall from grace as you see fit.

Following the humiliation of the previous tournament, when the Monastic Football Association fielded a team of cripples, players with eating disorders, drunks and lunatics – and which failed as miserably as you might expect in both the WC and CoH – the MFA has again been taken over by people who think winning might glory God rather than reveal an unmonastic lack of humility.

The Archregimancy national squad has, however, returned to the anonymous starting XI system used in the past. Winning may not itself prove a lack of humility, but achieving fame still isn’t quite the done thing.

The coach and team spokesman, however are not anonymous. Both are from Magnus Valerius:

Coach:
Fr. Aleksey the Hegumen - 'He is the head of the St. Nikolay of Leonia monastery that excels at the production of fine wines. Of course, he abstains from his order's produce... most of the time. He is in line to rise in the ranks, perhaps to replace the aging [Valerian] Patriarch Feodor III - so in lieu of the Patriarch's love of football, Aleksey has tried to mimic him'.

Spokesman:
Fr. Isan the Polyglot - 'This honorable monk has devoted his time in the [Valerian] St. Tikhon monastery outside of Kholmogory to learn as many tongues as he can, although he usually mixes up his Romance languages: "Et teu, mon amigo?"'

Formation:
The Archregimancy always plays an orthodox 4-4-2; style modifier +0.

Kit:
The recent emphasis on liturgical robes continues.

http://i14.photobucket.com/albums/a319/vakraas/vestments.jpg


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

http://i14.photobucket.com/albums/a319/vakraas/theotokos_of_nicopeia2.jpg

Tips for footballing visitors to the Archregimancy:

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

2) We control the nature of reality in the Dreamed Realm. 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 return of the liberal faction to leadership of 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 sinners, they’re just more subtle about it.

HOME GROUND

The Archregimancy are using the all-wooden 60,000 capacity Borisoglebsky stadium for the third qualifying tournament in a row - this time we have do better, surely. We can hardly do any worse!

http://i14.photobucket.com/albums/a319/vakraas/borisoglebsk.jpg

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.

[OOC - Note for newbies: the Holy Empire of Alasdair I Frosticus is one of the oldest nations in the WC, and is one of only 2 active nations (with founders Ariddia) to have participated in the first tournament (though the nation took a long break between WCs 7 and 25). For all that history, they've never once made it past the Quarterfinals.]

Welsh ninjas? French philosophers? How about a normal football team for a change?

THE HOLY EMPIRE WC 39 ROSTER:

GOALKEEPER -

1 - Nicephorus Comneno Fearless goalkeeper notorious for once breaking the skull of two opposing forwards in the same match. Accidentally. He's actually once of the nicest people you could ever meet.

DEFENDERS -

2 - Alexius Palaeologo Cultured veteran right back

3 - Leo Lecapno Towering central defender who's never been shown a red card in his entire career

4 - Jose Vatatzes Fierce Chacan left back who certainly has been shown his share of red cards

MIDFIELDERS -

5 - Manuel Lecapnuso Up and coming right winger who'll be leaving the Dreamed Realm for the first time this tournament; how will he cope?

6 - Basil Bulgarectonico cap Grizzled veteran central midfielder known for showing no quarter to his opponents. A captain who leads by example.

7 - Sergio Botaniates The team's playmaker; his silky skills and marvellous playmaking ability are perhaps slightly undermined by a tendency towards eccentricity.

8 - Romanus Lascaro Just the sort of efficient uncomplicated no-hassle un-showy central midfielder that every successful team needs

9 - Theodore Phocaso This left winger is probably the fastest player on the team, and has the crossing ability to match his pace

FORWARDS -

10 - Michael Ducaso Very much plays in the shadow of his fellow forward Stylites - but that's just the way he likes it; opponents underestimate him at their peril

11 - Alejandro Stylites The latest playing sensation from the Chaco, this young forward has been scoring at a rate of a goal a match in the Imperial Premiership, and has already scored 5 goals in his 4 international starts


Subs-
GK: Andrew Dalassano
Def: Gennadius Palaeologo
Mid: Isaac Alexius Angelo
Mid: Photius Orphanotropho
For: Tiberio Tzetzes

Coach -
Juan Tzimisces - returning to the national team after a short break in World Cup 38, this legend has been involved with Imperial football since World Cup 1; have we mentioned that time passes differently in the Dreamed Realm?

Style:
3-5-2 with overlapping wingers to become 3-3-4 when attacking. Style modifier remains unchanged at +5.

Kits:

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

OOC -
For further information on the Holy Empire, the Dreamed Realm and other relevant background detail, I'd usually direct you to theHoly Empire NS WIKI page (http://ns.goobergunch.net/wiki/index.php/Alasdair_I_Frosticus) (that's a link, newbies). But I'm not sure if this is working right now. If it is, assume all football matches will be taking place in the Imperial Hippodrome

Please remember that 'The Holy Empire' is the preferred name for this nation in IC media reports. 'Frostican' is an acceptable adjective. I'm perfectly happy for you to use 'Alasdair I Frosticus' and 'AIF' in OOC posts and threads.

And my RP preferences?

Feel free to do whatever you want short of attacking, damaging, or in any other way harming the Holy Empire, the Dreamed Realm, the Archregimancy or their people. And remember that violent behaviour by visitors to the Dreamed Realm results in immediate and instantaneous deportation

Roster:

1. The criminal

Violitism has decreed that this criminal, who has been jailed for several years for political crimes, will play himself to death as the only player in the team for the World Cup. Given this, opponents that role play before this team can do pretty much anything, as long as they keep the playing style in character as desperate. He will be trying to win as much as possible, because he feels that he may be let off his sentence. If you get him the last game that he can possibly play, you can definitely kill him in combat, otherwise, no killing please.

Northern Bettia World Cup 39 Squad

After a highly eventful World Cup 38 which saw the Fire Ants reach the knockout stages for the first time in their history only to gain the dubious honour of being the first team ever to have all elevent players sent off in a single match, the FANB have taken the precautionary step of increasing the squad size from 18 to 28, adding more depth just in case any referees decide to get card-happy with them.

Style Modifier
Northern Bettia play in a standard 4-4-2 formation - due to their infamous tactics however, a maximum style modifier (+5) would be most appropriate here.


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 (see below), there will probably be red and
yellow cards aplenty on both sides, as demonstrated in the second round match
against Ariddia in WC38 when all eleven players were sent off.

The management of the Northern Bettian national team have recently developed
a liking for using voodoo to knobble their opponents. Who knows what mysterious
shennigans will befall our opponents? However, our resident witch doctor
hasn't quite mastered this dark art so occasionally this wonderful new
tactic can backfire, as the Bettian squad found out before the last World Cup
when every single adult in the country similaneously suffered a broken leg.

As well as voodoo, Northern Bettia can also cause trouble off the field,
using all sorts of underhand tactics such as match-fixing, bribery
and even chemical warfare to try and swing things in their favour.

Northern Bettian fans are notorious hooligans, with their main gang being
called the Yuna Crew. More often than not, rival footballing nations ban
Northern Bettian fans from travelling to their nations, but they find
'ingenious' ways of slipping the net into the country. Opposition players,
supporters and police can expect trouble by the shedload.



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
http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y231/bettia/nbet-shirt.gif

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 coastal 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 do a few of the Fire Ants squad.
Some interesting and not-so-interesting facts about Northern Bettia can be found at the Northern Bettia Wiki (http://ns.goobergunch.net/wiki/northern_bettia.html)


Manager:
Iwan Obani
A shrewd, calculating character who instilled into his squad a unique tactic of bending the rules at every opportunity, making the Fire Ants as difficult to play against as possible.

Assistant Manager:
Baron Vendredi
The real name of this mysterious fellow is currently unknown. What is known is that he is well versed (although far from perfect) in the black art of voodoo, the Fire Ants' latest attempt to take cheating to a whole new level.

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 (and they'd be right). 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 (hence the style modifier).

What is the name of…

…the team from the UCS that will auto-qualify for this Cup?
Capitalizt SLANI (known prior to World Cup 30 as Commerce Heights)

…the team from the UCS that will play in the qualifying stage?
Jasīʼyūn or JSY (alternatively transliterated Jaseuyeon or Chasŭyŏn by Korean-speaking nations)

…the nation in which these two teams play their home matches?
the Unified Capitalizt States (sometimes Commerce Heights in informal speech)

…people from that nation?
Capitalizts

…the person who created this mess?
Commerce Heights (I use the New Manhattan forum account due to technical problems)

—————

http://www.thirdgeek.com/ns/worldcup/graphics/flags/36/UCS/ Unified Capitalizt States
The Unified Capitalizt States, sometimes referred to as Commerce Heights (though not in formal writing), 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, often shortened to SLANI. SLANI has competed since World Cup 25, and a previous organization, the CHFF (which is considered to be the same team, much like Serbia is considered the same team as Serbia and Montenegro IRL), competed between World Cups 7 and 25. SLANI also claims to inherit the record of Bedistan, which competed from World Cup 5 to 32. This claim is not generally recognized outside of the UCS, but it is the reason why their uniforms feature five stars above the logo (for Commerce Heights’s victory in WC15 and Bedistan’s in WCs 21, 26, 27, and 30). Prior to World Cup 30, when 자스연 (Jasīʼyūn) first entered, Capitalizt SLANI’s team was known as Commerce Heights (which was, at the time, the official short name of the Unified Capitalizt States). Capitalizt SLANI is (along with the Valanora Football Association) responsible for the staging of this World Cup, and its team will auto-qualify.

The other team is named 자스연 (Jasīʼyūn), often abbreviated JSY (but not Commerce Heights JSY, which is merely a contrivance to create a valid NS nation name), which has competed since World Cup 30 and has qualified since World Cup 36.

Stadia
The World Cup matches in the Unified Capitalizt States will be played in the cities shown on this map:
http://www.thirdgeek.com/ns/worldcup/graphics/wc39stadiamap/

자스연 (Jasīʼyūn) will tour these stadia, along with JPL Paladin Stadium in Port Lusambo—their “home stadium,” which simply means that Capitalizt SLANI may not play their own home games there—for their home qualifying matches.

Barring exceptional circumstances, all home games played by either UCS team will sell out, and as many fans as are permitted will travel for away games.

Quality ratings for each of the venues are given. Keep in mind that a two-star stadium by Capitalizt standards would likely be a UEFA five-star stadium (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/UEFA_Stadia_List) IRL.

Group A
Holmes Stadium
Location: Columbia, Bedistan
Capacity: 390 100
Quality: *****
Will host: three first-round matches, final
The original Holmes Stadium was the early home of the Bedistani national team, and hosted the final of World Cup 8, in which the home team, the first to reach a World Cup final, were defeated 3–1 by Liverpool England. The stadium was destroyed in the first invasion of Bedistan by Tingitanan anarchists, but has been rebuilt with a far greater capacity, while attempting to replicate the original stadium’s design. Holmes Stadium will be the second stadium to have hosted two World Cup finals—after the Sen-La-Sa~o Relekhati in KaMaRi kali, Rejistania—and the States will become the first nation to have hosted five.

Esther Marchese Memorial Stadium
Location: Sonoma City, Bedistan
Capacity: 271 828
Quality: *****
Will host: two first-round matches, one second-round match
Esther Marchese Memorial Stadium was the most ambitious in the CHEAT Alliance’s (parent company of Capitalizt SLANI) series of stadium construction projects in the former East Bedistan, which began shortly after the fall of the Grand Dominion. It is currently the second-largest stadium in the Unified Capitalizt States, behind the Überdome, though the nearby Holmes Stadium will soon change that. Though it does not quite meet the same high standards as Capitalizm or Drakcorp Querzakhi Olympic Stadium, it is still a top-tier venue.

Bætica Stadium
Location: Cordubovica, Bætica
Capacity: 109 300 (under construction)
Quality: ****
Club team: Cordubovica Falcons
Will host: one first-round match
Bætica Stadium is one of the two new stadiums paid for by the Capitalizt Élite League after its first season in order to generate additional revenue. Although the source of the funding may have been a football league, the stadium is intended for several other sports, including Lontorikan-rules football and field hockey, as the reconstruction of Bætica has attracted diverse immigrants. The stadium could have held another 24 400, had its designer not felt it necessary to include a parking area for blimps.


Group B
Stádie Montánire
Location: High Mountain, Bedistan
Capacity: 141 421
Quality: ****
Club team: High Mountain Buffalo
Will host: three first-round matches, one quarterfinal
Stádie Montánire is the other of the CEL’s stadium ventures. It is, in fact, built on Mount Hendricks, the “high mountain” for which the city is named. The stadium is built with a retractable roof and, though the Buffalo fully intend to use the high altitude to their advantage in club fixtures, the building will be pressurized for World Cup matches.

C4Stadion
Location: Metrewalk, Lontorika
Capacity: 131 160
Quality: *****
Will host: one first-round match
C4Stadion, designed by the same architect that created Auswärtssieg Arena, is the newest of his state-of-the-art Lontorikan stadiums. The stadium is located inside a skyscraper (similar to a plan to rebuild Aeropag Olympic Stadium that never received funding), which includes parking and hotel accomodations. It is named after its sponsor, the Capitalizt Consolidated Conglomeration Corporation (C4), which is also responsible for the manufacture of both UCS teams’ kits.

Auswärtssieg Arena
Location: Natestadt, Lontorika
Capacity: 127 202
Quality: *****
Will host: two first-round matches, one second-round match
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.


Group C
Sokojito Überdome
Location: 소코지토 도시, 소코지토 (Sokojito Dosi, Sokojito)
Capacity: 400 552
Quality: ****
Club team: 소코지도 도시 결합뒌 (Sokojito Dosi Gyūlhabdwen)
Will host: three first-round matches, one semifinal
Built for the infamous “CHO:P” World Cup 26 bid, the Sokojito Überdome is the largest football stadium in the world. 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. It is commonly used for domestic cup finals (aside from the 자스연 컵 (Jasīʼyūn Kūb), which is played over two legs).

Capitalizm
Location: 유포, 소코지토 (ʼYupo, Sokojito)
Capacity: 161 803
Quality: *****
Will host: two first-round matches, one second-round match
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.

Aeropag Olympic Stadium
Location: Aeropag, Jativa
Capacity: 107 596
Quality: ****
Club team: Aeropag Penguins
Will host: one first-round match
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.


Group D
Metropolitan Stadium
Location: Commerce Heights, New Manhattan
Capacity: 180 278
Quality: ****
Club team: Commerce Heights Thunderbirds
Will host: three first-round matches, one quarterfinal
Metropolitan Stadium, one of the new venues constructed for World Cup 36, was built on the site of Maxisoft Stadium, the original home stadium of the CHFF, and serves as a replacement for the demolished CDA Stadium in New Seoul.

Drakcorp Querzakhi Olympic Stadium
Location: Querzakhi, Tarraconesis
Capacity: 157 080
Quality: *****
Club team: Querzakhi United
Will host: two first-round matches, one second-round match
Drakcorp Querzakhi Olympic Stadium was built by the Spaamanian corporation Drakcorp for the Capitalizt club, Querzakhi United, that it purchased. It hosted the ceremonies and many of the events for the Games of the II Olympiad. Though the stadium has been around for about sixty years, it was extensively renovated for the Olympics, and is much like a new stadium. It has some of the same advanced features as Capitalizm, and additionally has the ability to replace the pitch instantaneously by teleporting replacement pitches that are stored underground.

Anaphase Alchemy Stadium (Capitalizt SLANI home stadium)
Location: Sonoma Center, New Manhattan
Capacity: 81 067
Quality: ****
Club team: Sonoma Center Panthers
Will host: one first-round match
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 seven hundred consecutive sold-out Panthers games, which has made the management somewhat hesitant to significantly expand.


Non–World Cup
JPL Paladin Stadium (자스연 (Jasīʼyūn) home stadium)
Location: Port Lusambo, Jativa
Capacity: 128 400
Quality: ***
JPL (Jativa Power and Light) Paladin Stadium is a relatively new venue, built for the once-dominant Port Lusambo Paladins. Though many supporters have since switched their loyalty to SLANI’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.”

Bazalonian Bazalopes

Coach: James Gaines

Kit:
http://i25.photobucket.com/albums/c58/Krytenia/BAZ39.png

Style: +3

Stadiums: TeleBaz Arena, SeaBazalope Arena, CBBC Dome, Drago Soccer Field

With James returning back to the BFSA, while the WCC HQ's is preparing for the Swap over to the new presidency he needed to get out of the office and so has decided to take an active role with the team. And as such with the recent slump - stagnation of the team he believes he was what it takes to bring the team up and crack the top 10.

#10, Ricky Yunn F - Cap'n

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.

#42, Zaphod Prefect M

Zaphod, is an odd, unusual guy keeps checking his "watch" though he never otherwise seems to worry about time "he's got all the time in the universe". He joined the team accidently one day when he got mixed up with the team a couple of World Cups ago, despite not playing in any league he's an excellent midfielder.

#48, Harold Bishop M

The shoulder anyone can lean on, perhaps overly compassionate this Midfielder gets along with practically everyone sometimes however his over-eagerness to help can really push people to dislike him, especially Zaphod

#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.

Substitutes:

#4, Lou Richards F
#16, Stephan Smith F

#19, Poest Markus D
#7, Daniel McKade D
#2, Ferdinand Esther K
#3, Trent Thistlethorpe K

You can do anything apart from doing anything that you want to at whim except for anything that would impact more than one matchday. Though please contact me, You'll most likely get a green light if I know about it before hand.

THE SUPERMARKET

Who We Are
We are a nation based on a supermarket. The staff are our government, although visitors rarely ever see them. The products are the inhabitants of the Supermarket, along with the trollies. However, we are not an actual supermarket, and products aren't actually available for purchase. Well, not ones in the national squad, anyway. They always make sure they aren't bought.

TEAM MANAGER
Tommy Trolley

Playing style: As attacking as is possible. Tackling and blocking too much will only lead to more squashed items than necessary. (Usual formation is an attackig 3-4-3 or 3-3-4)

National Team Squad For Second Qualification Attempt

Veteran coach Jaime Oberlander leads the Purple Sea Urchins of the Pazhujeb Islands in their campaign for World Cup 39. Eight changes to the squad have been made, which in the view of many fans is rather substantial (for example, the considerable revision of the midfield selection), but Jaime has proven himself in the several years since his appointment as head manager to be nothing if not a sharp tactician. The squad, as in the last campaign, is shockingly young: opponents can expect a ferociously quick attack but general inexperience in terms of ball control and decision-making.

Stadia To Be Used For Qualifying

Bengaluru Velodrome - 46,000 Seats
A large structure that has existed in the large Xhede Island city of Bengaluru for over nine centuries, the Velodrome was used for years in chariot racing. However, as interest dropped over the years it fell into disuse, save for public political events. However, now that football has swept the nation its rolling sandy pitch again snatches the attention of thousands every week, with tenants Bengaluru ZL having just survived their first season in Ivheshbu A. Fans from all over the flowery and notoriously purple island will surely pack into this stadium on matchday.
Bengaluru Velodrome will host the game on Matchday 2.

K'arasiam Sarvatobhav - 29,000 Seats
Typically a team that finishes in the bottom half of Ivheshbu A, K'arasi shocked the league with their third-place finish, fueled by their stingy defense. There was a corresponding upsurge in attendance at K'arasiam Sarvatobhav (which roughly translates from Pazhujebi into "Lions' Den"), and the upsurge of income allowed the tenants to grab the valuable defensive midfielder Parokshara, a national team starter. At any rate, despite K'arasi's improving fortunes, their pitch is still an unmitigated disaster. Barely a hole in the ground, fans will essentially sit on grass and dirt, looking down into a very large pit. This characteristic has earned it the nickname "The Mine."
K'arasiam Sarvatobhav will host the game on Matchday 5.

Therakham Coliseum - 41,000 Seats
A magnificent and recently built stadium, this beautiful and ingeniously constructed park in a northern suburb of Yughrigha, on the tiny island of Akhekhur, is the home to popular club side Therakham ZL. Made mostly from wood but meticulously decorated from pitch to stand to roof to entrance with soapstone sculptures, many of which are massive and built into the architecture, Therakham are proud to call the stadium home. Its pitch is remarkably soft by Pazhujebi standards; though foreign players will surely still complain of its hardness.
Therakham Coliseum will host the games on Matchdays 7, 8, 10, and 11.

Zhevassi Athletic Field - 23,000 Seats
Though it pales in comparison to the size of other stadia, even in the Pazhujeb Islands, this stadium is without doubt the most beloved in the entire country. Unquestionably, the most well-supported club side in the country is Zhevassi ZL, and they play at this tiny but cozy little stadium. Its limestone walls have existed for hundreds of years, though according to historians in the small town of Zhevassi, it has been repeatedly renovated. A coliseum that was once used for fake stagings of 12th century battles now sees international football grace its pitch.
Zhevassi Athletic Field will host the game on Matchday 13.

Kits

The Pazhujeb Islands kits are manufactured by Krytenian sportswear company JMC.

As is the practice, the Purple Sea Urchins will all be wearing their traditional purple turbans during all matches.

Notes On RPing and National Culture

With the ancestors of today's Pazhujebis (the vast majority of whom were of Indian descent) having been evicted from the Roman Empire circa 269 AD, many Pazhujebi people are extremely defensive about outsiders even setting foot in their country. A series of wars during the 12th century with invaders from the African coast did not help either.

So, to make a long story short, outsiders should beware. Further, there are significant infrastructure differences which foreigners will certainly need to be aware of. For starters, any visitor to the Islands, be he supporter, player, staff, manager, foreign dignitary, whatever, will have to arrive in the country via boat. There are no airports in the Pazhujeb Islands, nor will any ever likely be built. In most ways, the infrastructure on the islands (unsurprisingly) resembles that of 3rd century Rome. There is no electricity, there is no internet access, there is no running water (though the aqaduct system is quite well developed), and there is absolutely no television. If supporters cannot get into a match, they will have to watch the match via live cockroach simulation in an allotted pit, as the locals do. Even if you are in attendance at one of the live matches, you (and more importantly, your team) will discover that football on the Pazhujebs is not played on grass, but on compacted sand or dirt, or a compacted mixture of both. If you do not train well in advance for the pitches in the Pazhujeb Islands, your players will be considerably more prone to injury.

Though there are one or two exceptions to the Pazhujeb Islands' so-called infrastructure deficit, namely culturally unique advances in architecture and printing, in the main outsiders may find the Pazhujebs a difficult place. You have been warned. However, especially if it is clear to Pazhujebi residents that you are a football supporter, you will be likely welcomed quite kindly. Pazhujebis are extremely excited that their team is participating in football on a global level, and they will at least try to see eye to eye with you as long as the topic is football.

As far as the team actually plays, Oberlander has the Urchins using his trademark formation, the Diamond 4-4-2. Below is the projected starting lineup.

Az-cz roster, to be used during World Cup 39

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

Formation: The Gnomes will once again be rolling out a highly attack oriented team and looking to pour goals in. The team will be staying with the 3-4-3 system and playing just about the same pace as last cup.

Coaches:

Kor-Lash: Takes over from Suart Abdul Rahim. While not a great player himself he is an absolute master of breaking down video and technical football so he will play a big role in game preperation.

Be-Lar: He will again be the mentor of the defense and the strength as well as the strength and conditioning coach

Juzm-Jn: He was an above average player in the -League and will be brought in to do a lot of the fundamental skill work for the team and to work out mechanical kinks to balance Kor-Lash's tactical abilities.

Pizelkaxrovsky: He's not a permanent coach, but rather a kind of special advisor. He is mostly a scout for the Jesters, but has been hired to give special training sessions from time to time, on things like penalties and free kicks, passing, and so on. He will play a bit larger role this cup to help out the quite young coaching staff.

Roster: Most players return from the world cup 38 championship squad so there will be great pressure on these players to turn in a very strong cup.

Strikers:

#9 - Seoula Vitakiralski

Height: 6'1
Weight: 173 lbs
Age: 18 (736 in Elf Years)
Club Team: Yang Knights

Seoula Vitakiralski is the first ever non-human non-gnome player for the Robbers. His parents immigrated to Fort Ben-Degly where he was born. He struggled adjusting to life in Az-cz cause his parents were very strict with him and didn't let him enjoy things like Kleptochase and those kind of sports. However when he first got a hold of a soccer ball it was apparent that this was what he would do with his life. The Pagoda Ninjas found him and hooked on to him and got them into their training camp when he was the equivalent age of 9. Since then he's become more and more talented and led the league in scoring three seasons running, pushing the Ninja's to their best ever third place finish then leading the Yang Knights to consecutive championships. The SoulElf, as Seoula is known in the -League, will have a lot of support from his teammates and fans, and is one of the most popular players in the league now. As the key striker on the two time defending champions he's a legend world wide.

#19 - El-Iot

Height: 5'3"
Weight: 135 lbs
Age: 25
Club Team: Yang Knights

El-Iot finally moved to a bigger club and took advantage, finishing second behind Seoula in scoring and scored the winning goal in the Shangri-La cup. Now they are teammates together on an absolutely frightening front line in the -League. He was the spark on the first Az-cz champion squad and a key cog on the second. With the full pairing together again this cup he should have a lot of goals this cup.

#11 - McLaren Kenyon

Height: 6'5"
Weight: 239 lbs
Age: 20
Club Team: Golem Golems

A Bettian Az-czzer Kenyon is even stronger than he was last time around. While he was unquestionably the third striker last time around his skills are nearly equal to those of Seoula and El-Iot now, which means that the team will be even more dangerous this cup.

#21 - Fe-Do

Height: 5'5"
Weight: 139 lbs
Age: 30
Club Team: Petardos S/A

Fe-Do has been a sub striker on the squad for a long time and will provide an important strike option off the bench. He is also unquestionably the experienced vet of the side so he will have an important role there as well, guiding what is an incredibly talented, but also incredibly young set of strikers. His role hasn't changed much since last cup.

#20 - Cro-Mg

Height: 5'6"
Weight: 155 lbs
Age: 18
Club Team: Asp Vipers

One of the first wave of the super kids to make the team Cro-Mg seems to be a near duplicate of Lur-Mn. He's just an incredible ball of energy who never ever seems to stop moving and is great at getting rebounded goals. Sometimes his enthusiasm leads him to some reckless play but he's not at all a dirty player. He provides a lot of energy to Az-czid practices.

#18 - Su-Wee

Height: 5'7"
Weight: 155 lbs
Age: 17
Club Team: Toad Meadow Witches

Su-Wee is another member of the kids to step up to the big squad this cup. She also is one of the women who are making Az-cz a co-ed team for the first time. On the field she is problem for opposing teams with great body control that allows her to score goals a lot of others couldn't and with body parts others wouldn't dream of using.

#17 - Tef-Eri

Height: 5'2"
Weight: 135 lbs
Age: 28
Club Team: Basenji Werewolves

Tef-Eri was a player who benefitted greatly both from all the retirements and the switch to the 3-4-3. He never thought he'd have a chance to make the national team despite his strong presence in the -League. He is an effective scorer in the league despite being far and away the best player on a not very good Werewolves team. While he doesn't expect to see much action as the seventh striker, he is honored to wear the pink and green and will be a valuable addition on the practice field in addition to whatever he can add to the squad on the pitch.

Midfielders:

#7 - Bn-Ct

Height: 5'4"
Weight: 144 lbs
Age: 23
Club Team: Vertigo Slimes

Bn-Ct is the son of former Az-cz national team player Bn-Dg. Like his father Bn-Ct is an attacking midfielder. His father was a good player but Bn-Ct looks to be an even greater player. After a long stretch of learning on the bench waiting behind great players like Kn-Dg, Pizelkaxrovsky and James Levesque he is ready to take on a big role on this team. He is now the key attacker from the midfield with Ho-Lee Chung having announced his retirement.

#8 - Youn Ji-Hyun

Height: 5'8"
Weight: 106 lbs
Age: 18
Club Team: Red Dwarf Rangers

Youn Ji-Hyun has taken over from Ho-Lee Chung as the second attacking midfielder. She'll definitely provide Another one of the Super Kids she has become an attacking midfielder by nature. With good height and great speed and touch she provides a dangerous spark on the team. She is also an absolute knockout and has been voted best looking athlete in Az-cz, despite competing against Klepto-dancers who compete naked and are compete in a sport about flexibility and movement.

#10 - Hu-35

Height: 5'1"
Weight: 130 lbs
Age: 31
Club Team: Vertigo Slimes

Hu-35 is back for his eighth cup making him one of the most experienced players on the team. He's now the key player of this midfield moving back to the center of midfield where he will be expected to guide the team. While his main job will be to set up all of his weapons he is a very talented player himself and can punish teams who forget about him. However his attacking
mindset does mean that he is one of the bigger question marks on the team, although a very talented question mark. This will be his last cup win or lose as he's decided to give up international play for the sake of his family.

#6 - Jorge Shockey

Height: 6'1"
Weight: 190 lbs
Age: 29
Club Team: Burlock Jesters

Jorge Shockey's importance to this team can't be overstated. Not only is he the main line of defense from midfield he is also the team captain, wearing the arm band for the second cup in a row. Shockey provides a very physical player and a sharp mind as well with great skill. While his abilities might go a bit unrecognized on such an attacking squad in the eyes of many he is the most talented player on the team. In his short stint in Cafundeu he was viewed as the best midfielder by some of the media there, so he has shown his skill in multiple nations. Now that he has returned to Az-cz he will be ready to lead this team to great heights.

#15 - Karzog Hemabubulin

Height: 5'8"
Weight: 205 lbs
Age: 25
Club Team: Cloud Harpies

Joining all of the Gnomes, elfs and humans on this squad is a Starblaydian dwarf, born and raised in Jez-Jez Town, leaving the team just a half-orc short of all the races of Az-cz's legendary adventuring party. Karzog is a mass of pure muscles that allows him to fight for the ball all over the field and gives him a wicked powerful shot that he uses to blast out shots on goal. He also has a good technical mind that make him somewhere between a central and attacking midfielder. He'll definitely see playing time this cup off the bench, especially against more physical opponents.

#14 - Anthony Byrd

Height: 6'0"
Weight: 245 lbs
Age: 28
Club Team: Yang Knights

Byrd is a bruising punishing midfielder. He really likes to get involved and dirty deep in the box and is totally unbothered by physical play. He lacks the technical experise that most Az-czzers have but his insatiable motor and physical size help him compensate for those lacks, although even his technical skill is improving, and he has now moved up in the midfield from a pure defensive midfield role into a more central slot.

#16 - Ab-Sol

Height: 5'6"
Weight: 166 lbs
Age: 30
Club Team: Red Dwarf Rangers

Although he was originally a pure defender he has since developed into a defensive midfielder and is a very strong defensive presence in the midfield, although not the all around player that Jorge Shockey is. In terms of raw ability he might be the least talented player on the team, but he is a great worker and has an indominable spirit. If he needs to play he'll do a good job and what he adds to the practice pitch and locker room is also quite valuable. Some expect that this will be his last cup as there are a number of good youngsters pushing for playing time and he's getting up in years.

#12 - Bk-Oh

Height: 5'6"
Weight: 166 lbs
Age: 16
Club Team: Yak Clerics

Another Super Kid Bk-Oh is truly an all around player. He can play anywhere in the midfield with good pace to make plays both in the offensive and defensive ends of the pitch. With the next round of retirements he'll be expected to move into the starting lineup.


Defenders:

#2 - Cn-Vro

Height: 5'6
Weight: 175 lbs
Age: 17
Team: Vertigo Slimes

Like Bn-Ct he is the son of a former player, Ns-Ta. He's grown a good bit since last cup and is still growing, and his game is doing the same. He has matured into his body and taken over Haji-Me's position as a starting defender . He is already quite a talented defender and with a bit more seasoning he is expected to ascend to the ranks of the best in the world.

#3 - Ca-Fu

Height: 5'8
Weight: 160 lbs
Age: 28
Club Team: Golem Golems

Ca-Fu has flown up the ladder from suprise selection to substitute to starter to the head of the defense in the middle. He is looking as if he might go down as the greatest Az-cz defender ever if he can continue his current ascension. His defensive instincts are incredible and he uses his physical abilities well even though he isn't the biggest defender going. He also has a great instinct for starting counter attacks and makes great passes. Now is his time to shine and really push the Gnomes defense to greater heights.

#4 - Hi-Kui

Height: 4'9
Weight: 111 lbs
Age: 23
Team: Yang Knights

Hi-Kui came out of nowhere to earn the third defensive spot in world cup 37. And the reason is that he was so unknown was that he had actually been living in Ariddia for the past 12 years. He was born in Mil-Bax but moved to Ariddia when he was 6. He only came back one year ago when the Yang Knights signed him. They expected him to be a sub only based on both his size and unknown quantities. But from the first day of training he showed his skills that he learned playing in Ariddia. He has blazing speed and just about perfect instincts, which is how he compensates for his incredibly small stature.

#5 - Lo-Rdr

Height: 5'9
Weight: 177 lbs
Age: 17
Club Team: Cloud Harpies

All the fans know the Lo-Rdr. He's become the most popular defender in the -League due to his movie star good looks and spectacular play. He has a bit of a tendency to gamble, which can lead to some easy goals but also leads to some amazing plays.

#13 - La-Yu

Height: 5'3
Weight: 130 lbs
Age: 32
Club Team: Cloud Harpies

La-Yu 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. He won't see much action but he will definitely make the attacking players work hard during practices. For a 23rd player he is pretty good, but he is definitely the 23rd player on this squad. He continues to compete hard for the team, but he has also announced that this will be his last go round.

Goalies:

#1 - Haz-Tp

Height: 4'11"
Weight: 115 lbs
Club Team: Red Dwarf Rangers
Age: 21

Haz-Tp is considered a freak amongst goalkeepers. He is very short but his incredible athleticism makes up for it. He has the athletic ability to play any other sport or any other position on the pitch, but somehow someone convinced him that his 60" vertical leap and incredible reflexes would be well suited in goal. And how right they are. Many players think they have goals that he plucks out of the air. He is well on his way to becoming a great goalie. He is both the present and the future of Az-cz goaltending and should be the starter for a long time.

#22 - Gu-Drox

Height: 5'5"
Weight: 155 lbs
Club Team: Yak Clerics
Age: 27

Gu-Drox took over from Bu-Lv on the Clerics and made a big impression on the league. Thanks to the strong training program most Az-czzers are pretty well known by a pretty well age and rarely does the national side get blinded side, but Gu-Drox was just a case. He really came on and now is the definite second keeper on this squad. While he is not nearly the talent that Haz-Tp is, he should be a solid second keeper for a number of cups.

#23 - Leh-Mn

Height: 5'11"
Weight: 175 lbs
Club Team: Vertigo Slimes
Age: 33

Leh-Mn was selected as the third goal tender for his height and experience. He is not expected to see any playing time at all this cup but is a solid keeper in the -League.

OOC: RP Permissions

Style +4.5 (if decimals aren't allowed +4)
My opponent, if they RP first, may do the following:
Choose my goalscorers Y (please do, but please do them following the logic of the roster)
Godmod Scoring Events Y (within reason)
RP injuries to my players Y (within reason)
Godmod injuries to my players N
Hand out Yellow cards to my players N
Hand out Red cards to my players N
Godmod Other Events Y (within reason)

Basically if it's something that doesn't affect my RPing options in future matches, go ahead. That means killing my players, kidnapping them, turning them into zombies or what not are all out. But international incidents and what not are basically ok.

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 clothes except as necessary for work or weather.

Interviews: We will allow interviews from Az-cz or interviews of any Az-czzers. Any player or coach, or director Juxt-Pat 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.

RPs: I am willing to accommodate almost any kind of RP if you let me know what you want to do ahead of time.

Bios:
Coach Charles DuPont is coaching the Sel Appa National Team for the eighth 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. Despite a large reshuffling of the team, DuPont has stayed on to maintain a constant and to better welcome the new team. Always optimistic, he strongly believes Sel Appa will soon rank among the top 10 in the world.

GK Mongke Bokegalbaatar is one of the new recruits for Sel Appa's national team. He is a huge 155kg behemoth that can easily stop a ball dead in its tracks with his large, meaty hands. He does not wear gloves, finding them uncomfortable. Despite being so large, he is quite nimble and can easily get from one goalpost to the other.

GK Anastasia Vadov is a well-known female goalkeeper. She claims to have the longest armspan in the nation, which will make her an excellent substitute.

DF Karli Rengel is considered one of the best defenders in Sel Appa. She was quickly chosen as soon as females were allowed on the team because of her skill. Her quick-thinking mind will enable a solid defense that should stop many attacks in their tracks.

DF Mohammed al-Jafari is a quick defender that ensures the goalkeeper has as little work as possible. He also sometimes acts as a defensive midfielder.

DF Nikole Barr is one of the fastest footballers in the country. She relies on her speed rather than her control to keep the ball away from the goal. She is notorious for forcing offsides.

DF David Davidson Jr. is lesser known player from Roflton who defends the goal well. He tries to fulfill his role as the last resort befor the keeper as best as possible.

DF Bum Dae Kim is a great defender who has sometimes run the ball deep into enemy territory before passing to an open forward. His counter-attacks are said to be the best in the nation.

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 became captain after Estevez's retirement and should hold the team together well, as under his predecessor.
Foreign Club: Petardos S/A

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.

MF Natalie Dubrov is the daughter of former striker Alan Dubrov. She takes much after her father, especially her love of football. She works hard to ensure swift connections from the defense to the offense.

MF Dzheighcymn Ghotiolo is Sel Appa's attacking midfielder, who often acts like a forward. He scores a lot more often than the average midfielder and should probably be positioned among the forwards.

MF Miroc Szwtrz

MF Mish Vasou is the son of former defender Kash Vasou. Like his father, he was born and raised in the Natives Province and brings Native talent to the national team. He has quick, strong legs that do him well.

FW Miquelinho is one of the best players 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 Karl GEPARDO is probably the fiercest attacker in the nation. He has been known to knock down defenders just to get a shot in. He has a large deck of yellow and red cards that he admits he'll probably add to.

Style modifier: +1.093
Expected starters are 1-11 but changes are likely. In particular, don't be afraid to look at my posts on International Domestic Soccer NewsWires (linked in my sig) and spot that certain players are on or off form (or indeed injured) and hence likely to be pushed in or out of the starting XI. Ditto international players, especially the C&M-based ones.

Official Decree of the Nire and Nire Football Association

Following the ban on sporting activity in Nire and Nire initiated by El Incompetento Nire last summer the Nire and Nire Football Association has no choice but to not announce a team for the World Cup Qualifiers. While it appears that Nire and Nire continues to play in the qualification tournament the team is not an official team of Nire and Nire and will not be recognised as such until such time as the sporting ban is lifted. The FA also expresses doubts as to whether anyone is actually playing football under the guise as Nire and Nire. This is nothing more than a vast conspiracy against our Supreme Overload Nire and will not be tolerated.
