The Fourth Atlantis Football Cup (RP Thread)

[Gradea]

With sad news I announce the end of Gradea's first ever tournament. The Jets were beaten today by Civilisation on penalities. It was a goaless 90 minutes then Civilsation scored the opener in extra time. Gradea replied through Thomas Hull. Civilsation scored 5 penalities to our 4. Gradea will play in the third place playoff.

Leading goalscorer: Thomas Hull-4 goals
Best player: Thomas Hull
Captains: Shayne Andrews and Lucas Wyndham.

I love how I lost to a team who didn't even submit their own roster..

The results of the Semi-Final between Jarrinan and Atlantis of Vilita:

Jarrinan will play Gradea in the first place play-offs.

Atlantis of Vilita will take on Civilization in the Cup-Final.

[Madrocea]

The Madrocean Republic regrets our non-participation in the previous football Cups (largely due to internal politicking, isolationist agendas and corruption within Madrocea's old Helixian regime and its post-Imperial remnants) but in keeping with our reformed international policy, we are volunteering to host the Fifth Cup, and even if another nation hosts it, we will participate.
