Not only from your childhood, though. I recall Jornal do Brasil releasing one before the 2002 World Cup.

Oh, they're still going in the UK. Certainly if you read The Sun (sorry Merseyside).

Just to advise that we are 22 hours (21 hours and 58 minutes =P) from the first cutoff and matchday of the Cup of Harmony 67. Check the cutoff time in the opening post of the everything thread.

Hope all the teams can bring the glory of the almighty FAS into the tournament.

I would like to apologize to the rest of Group H for having disappeared since Qualifying. I've just returned from 10 days camping in the mountains of Colorado with family. Obviously, I had no internet there (aside from faint cell service during trips into town for gas) and am just now catching up on all that has happened in the last week and a half.

I will try to get an RP up before the decisive final group game. Hopefully the poor vacation timing will not spell doom for my Vanquishers. There's a possible WC HoF spot on the line! :)

Red Blackiland does kits, and his storefront can be found here. He's gonna re-open after the Cup of Harmony, so if you want to have a really good quality kit + logos if you want them, then he's your man.

If you have Photoshop, there are some templates you can find online and color them to your liking. The templates have 50-70 different designs each, and sometimes you can find tutorials on how to design them on Youtube.

On a similar note, I'll likely be continuing my RP line from this World Cup in the IBC and/or with Falatulu in the Runner Cup.

Saintland's going to end up splitting into West Saintland and East Saintland, with West Saintland taking on the existing KPB ranking and national team of Saintland starting in World Cup 76.
