Kirisaki - Starting XI

Squad

Note that players are arranged by playing position and squad role in that order; in other words, player(s) listed first for a specific position will be the first choice player(s) for that position. All players are female unless otherwise specified.

Goalkeepers

1 • Kiyoko TAKANASHI • 21 years • Goalkeeper

Brilliantly talented? Yes. Reliably unreliable? Yes.

Those two words are adequate descriptions of first-choice Mizuyukian 'keeper, Kiyoko Takanashi. She's not your average goalkeeper; with a taste for adventure and showboating, Takanashi is the archetypal sweeper 'keeper in Kurumi Shirakiin's high-octane side. Her contributions are significant in both the defensive and attacking phases of the Nova's game; defensively, her pace and anticipation allows Shirakiin to play a high line, as well as incorporate the more technical and physically frail Mikasa as a ball-playing center back; offensively, her accurate distribution means that defensively unsound teams can easily be caught on the break by the pace of the rest of the team. Her one major flaw is her composure under pressure; Takanashi has been known to commit high-profile errors in matches of magnitude, and this is a large stick which her detractors have at their disposal.

23 • Eri SHIGURE • 14 years • Goalkeeper

The reliably reliable backup for the enigmatic, error-prone 'keeper that is Kiyoko Takanashi. Still only fourteen years of age, she has already been touted by many as the successor to Takanashi, who despite being seven years her senior remains only twenty-one. Shirakiin is expected to play her in games against lesser opponents, with a view to readying this promising youngster for the first team as soon as possible.

Possessing a remarkably cool head for her age, Shigure is a competent all-round 'keeper who can play both conventional and sweeper keeper roles, specialising in the former. While she is no flashy, adventurous 'keeper in the mould of Takanashi, Shigure is decent with the ball at her feet, and has the requisite technique to initiate passing moves from her penalty area. Her true strength lies in one-on-one situations; an imposing presence in goal despite her years, Shigure's excellent positioning and instincts allow her to make saves off the toes of opposition strikers with impunity. Her only weakness is her communication; a quiet girl by nature, she sometimes has trouble communicating her instructions to her defence, and as a result the team is rather more prone to defensive breakdowns whenever she's in the side.

80 • Misa NAKAI • 14 years • Goalkeeper

Defenders

4 • Rin NATSUME • 18 years • Left back

In keeping with the tradition of Mizuyuki's buccaneering inverted wing-backs, Natsume's play is designed around pace and wing wizardry. In a conventional tactical setup, the responsibility of providing incision from the flanks might well be left to the wingers - a stark contrast from the Shirakiin system. Thanks to the versatility which is so prized by the incumbent manager, Natsume found herself elevated to a starting spot ahead of the more tactically-limited Suzuki Rikka - and it is that very quality which has enabled her to thrive within a tactical setup emphasising creative freedom over excessive transitional rigidity.

While defensively more than a little suspect, Natsume's speed and not-inconsiderable strength has allowed her to exploit defensive oversights or simple incompetence effectively; when switching positions with her left winger Uryū, she becomes a potent force on the flank, often cutting in to allow a teammate to make a free attacking run down the left. She is also a force to be reckoned with when on the ball - tricky dribbling is one of her strengths, and her finishing is commendable enough for a nominal defender when the ball falls onto her favoured foot. However, she can be easily harried off the ball when matched up against a stronger opponent with pace to match her own, and despite her skill on the ball, her off-the-ball movement can be questionable at times.

12 • Gin ISEYA • 14 years • Left back

Gin Iseya is possibly one of the quickest players in the entire squad. And that's really something for a player playing for a team boasting the likes of Kaori Uryū and Kirara Steiner. A left wing back by trade for her club, Iseya was repurposed into a more conventional defensive role by Shirazaka in DBC32 in an attempt to provide defensive solidity to the typically porous defence. She played her heart out during the Little Nova's amazing run to the trophy, proving her worth to the team with several solid performances on opposition dangermen, and was arguably a core component of the team during that period.

Physically and mentally quick, Iseya usually acts as the conduit for the Little Nova's transition into attack from the left side of defence. While she has had to curtail her attacking instincts somewhat under Shirazaka's instruction, Iseya is still very much a willing runner in attack, often overlapping for an extra attacking outlet. Naturally right-footed, Iseya likes to cut in from the flank for a shooting opportunity, but she is still very much an effective crosser with her weaker foot. She will always look to burn the opponent for pace whenever she can - and a combination of Iseya and Uryū running at a defender is devastating, to say the least.

5 • Mifune ISHIO • 19 years • Center back

The complete technical centre back schooled in the Mizuyukian art of 'defence' (i.e. offence is the best defence), Ishio is a veritable defensive totem for the Mizuyukian team. Arguably the most defensive player of the entire starting XI sans defensive partner Mikasa, her playstyle is geared towards providing adequate support for the midfield while retaining a modicum of control over Mizuyuki's own defensive third. Tactically speaking, Ishio's defensive role is simple - sweep up long balls and dispossess anyone prowling within range of her defensive zone, while leaving Takanashi to sort out the hopeful long punts. However, this task is decidedly more difficult than the job description would seem to suggest - having a goalkeeper with an unusual playstyle in Takanashi, Ishio is often tasked with the unenviable job of attempting to rescue a seemingly desperate defensive situation.

Bailing out the rest of her defensive colleagues is usually part and parcel of the Ponyville United centre back's game, and her immaculate timing of the tackle is a huge asset. Despite being vertically challenged like the rest of the Mizuyukian team, Ishio is blessed with a stunning jump - she more than makes up for her inferiority in terms of absolute height by rising far above the opposition when challenging for headers, a great asset which often comes in handy at both ends of the pitch. It is one key reason why she has been a mainstay of the starting XI ever since Shirakiin took charge of the national team - there is simply no one else possessing her unique skillset, and whenever Ishio is absent, Mizuyuki look very suspect at defending set-pieces and crosses into the area, a weakness which is only exacerbated by Takanashi's poor command of her area.

21 • Natsumi MIKASA • 18 years • Center back

A sports commentator was once overheard making a less-than-complementary remark about then fourteen-year-old Mikasa - 'what's that little girl doing on the pitch?' Barely 160 centimetres in height at sixteen years of age, one would not have thought that Mikasa makes a living as a professional footballer, let alone a centre back. It does not pay to underestimate the seemingly-frail Mikasa, however, as plenty of forwards found out to their cost last cycle - the Starfall centre back packs a punch when it comes to tackling, while her physique conceals above-average upper body strength honed by years of consistent regimens.

In terms of style, expansive passing play is a defining characteristic of the more attacking-minded Mikasa. Often switching positions with the bulkier Saten, her competence in the pivot is nothing to be sniffed at - she is regularly the only pure defender to rank in the top ten of the senior squad in terms of successful through balls. Complementing Ishio's more defensively-oriented skillset with her own offensive spark, the two, in tandem with the midfield pivot of Ishibashi and Saten, form a formidable defensive combination.

16 • Mashiro TACHIBANA • 16 years • Center back

25 • Mana SATŌ • 17 years • Right back

Shirakiin's well-documented predilection for attacking-minded defensive players notwithstanding, Satō's long-standing presence in the senior team has always been taken for granted, simply because she does her unspectacular job spectacularly well. Less of a direct attacking threat than Natsume, Satō plays with two things in mind - one, to keep the opposition pinned back in their own half; and two, to create attacking outlets for teammates with her astute positioning.

She is not one to be directly involved in the attacking play; however, her role is crucial in that it disrupts the opposition's defensive line and opens up all sorts of opportunities for Mizuyuki to capitalise upon. Pulling the opposition one way and another with sheer positioning is one thing; but being a credible threat to warrant the opposition reshuffle is another thing altogether; Satō has a mean eye for goal, and her delightful crosses are nothing to be sniffed at either. Can be found wanting for stamina in the later stages of a game, so she's usually the first player to be substituted whenever Shirakiin feels that she can afford to spend a substitution on energy conservation.

29 • Yuiko KASUGANO • 16 years • Right back

Midfielders

22 • Ruiko SATEN • 20 years • Central defensive midfielder

Saten Ruiko can only be described as the human personification of the Energizer bunny. In her role as the box-to-box midfielder, Saten's unbounded energy and drive is the oil that keeps the Mizuyukian juggernaut ticking over comfortably. The number 22 usually plays in a withdrawn role in midfield, allowing the more creatively talented Ishibashi to venture forward supporting the attack, but she is hardly one to shy away from partaking in the attack herself.

Unlike the silky Ishibashi, Saten plays rough and is not ashamed of it; she is well-known for her hatchet jobs and bodychecks, and many a player has been on the receiving end of one of her powerful challenges. A dab hand both on the ground and in the air, the midfield general is well-rounded in all aspects of the game, and is especially talented at the fine arts of tackling and pressuring the opposition. She likes to shoot from long range, especially when facing a shaky opposition goalkeeper, while her exceedingly impressive energy levels allow her to flourish well late into the game. A favourite Shirakiin ploy is to substitute a fresh Saten in after the hour mark as an impact substitute, with a brief to harass and force mistakes out of the tiring opposition.

27 • Hino ASAHI • 14 years • Central defensive midfielder

18 • Tomoe ISHIBASHI • 19 years • Central midfielder

Mizuyuki's very own midfield metronome, passing - whether it be short square passes, raking crossfield passes or delicately dinked through balls - is second nature to Ishibashi. Usually playing alongside the energetic Saten, Ishibashi's own style is more languid, relaxed and distribution-centric, focusing on dictating play and supplying the pacy attacking quartet with her incisive passing. As can be expected for a master of the pass, Ishibashi's vision is exemplary; spraying passes left, right, and center, her proficiency in this department meshes well with the intelligent attacking runs of Uryū and Isshiki, providing them with all the support they require to wreak damage in the final third. Ishibashi complements Tsuchimikado's more adventurous style well; often to be found roaming in an advanced position later in a match despite her withdrawn starting position, Ishibashi's sublime interplay with Tsuchimikado has brought many an opposition defence to its knees, the two often combining to devastating effect in the opposition half.

The Saten-Ishibashi combo has also proved to be a winner; depending on the success of her interplay with Tsuchimikado, Ishibashi can withdraw slightly and feed the buccaneering Saten with shorter balls instead. Free-kicks have always been a key strength of Ishibashi's game, and she has scored some delightful scorchers over the course of her national career, with the most memorable coming in a Phoenix Cup game against Felix. A significant weakness is her defensive inadequacy; many's the time Ishibashi has been caught out of position when the team is caught on the break, and that can prove especially costly if Mizuyuki's flank players have overplayed their hand in attack.

27 • Kanade KIRISAKI • 14 years • Central midfielder

Kanade Kirisaki was just seven years of age when she began embracing the beautiful game. The dauntless, adventurous central midfielder grew up kicking a ball together with her friends on the lush plains of rural Aonojuku, and would continue to do so for four years, when her family exchanged the pleasantly sleepy atmosphere of their village for the urban metropolis of Kirayuki. The young girl, naturally, sorely missed her football - and would often frequent a local football development camp sponsored by the IFA after school hours. Playing against opponents several years her senior, Kanade was very much their equal; and thanks to her tigerish performances, she eventually caught the eye of a member of staff, and was duly granted a scholarship to the IFA's special academy in Kinokomura.

A terrier of a midfielder, it is perhaps no surprise that Kanade's natural position is in the pivot. She utilises her nearly limitless reserves of energy to great effect throughout a match, hassling and harrying opponents by constantly snapping at their heels. While she is no man mountain, Kanade's defensive instincts allow her to position herself well; and she does a good job of nipping in for the tackle whenever she sees a chance to win the ball. In terms of distribution, perhaps her sole major deficiency at the moment, Kanade is fairly limited, often choosing to lay off a simple square pass to a creative team mate instead of trying a spectacular cross-field pass. She does have good creative vision, however, and with a bit of fine tuning, seems set to reprise the Ishikawa role at the base of midfield as a full member of the senior team in the fullness of time.

80 • Rin SASAHI • 14 years • Central midfielder

10 • Mikoto TSUCHIMIKADO • 19 years • Central attacking midfielder

Captain and goalscorer extraordinaire, no single player in Mizuyukian footballing history has ever matched Tsuchimikado's astonishing goalscoring ratio. Nominally a creative attacking midfielder, Tsuchimikado tends to play off her forward's shoulder, her versatility allowing the team to shift to a two-striker formation with the minimum of fuss. An unparalleled instinct for scoring, coupled with a stunning rocket of a shot, has allowed Tsuchimikado to plunder goals against opposition from all across the ranking spectrum with remarkable ease. No matter where she may be on the pitch, she's always a latent threat waiting to pounce when the opportunity arises - just ask Northern Sunrise Islands 'keeper Mellody Sioux, who was beaten by a spectacular 35-yard angled drive during WCQ 69.

As part of her armoury, the captain also boasts an unerring eye for the cute pass. Her telepathic connection with both Ishibashi and Saten allows her to showcase that particular attribute to devastating effect, regularly combining to pass the opposition out of the game with her midfield colleagues. Tsuchimikado's main strength is of course her finishing and anticipation, but she is equally well versed in the art of tackling - whenever interchanging with Kurugaya, she is often the first line of defence for the Nova, and her high work rate plus impressive engine allows her to give the opposition defenders no end of trouble. Top-class teams can often mark her out of the game by sticking a strong defender on her, although she does have a turn of pace that can leave the inattentive marker sprawled on the pitch.

8 • Koeda SAKURANAMI • 15 years • Central attacking midfielder

Forwards

92 • Kaori URYŪ • 16 years • Left winger

Kaori Uryū, at just fifteen years of age, is widely acknowledged as one of the finest, most exciting wingers that Suisetsu has ever produced. Blessed with a dizzying turn of pace and all the technical attributes to thrive in a typical Mizuyukian system, the teenager is a crucial attacking outlet for the Little Nova. She isn't a prolific goalscorer by any means, and can sometimes be guilty of overplaying, but the bag of tricks she has under her belt more than makes up for that minor shortcoming; her inclination for blowing past stranded, flat-footed opponents to produce hatfuls of chances for her teammates to convert has quickly made her a fan favourite.

She specialises in perfectly-timed low crosses, but can also deliver a peach of a floater whenever the situation necessitates it. Skillful finishing is part of the tricky winger's repertoire as well; several memorable strikes have come against top-class opposition, in particular two crucial strikes in the latter stages of the 32nd DBC; the first of which propelled the Little Nova into the final, the second a superbly taken curler that restored parity against Nephara in said final. She can be a major thorn in the opposition's side when on fire; indeed, her magical solo contributions have, on several occasions, made the difference for the senior team.

88 • Reika ITSUKA • 15 years • Left winger

11 • Mika ISSHIKI • 19 years • Right winger

The classical Mizuyukian inverted winger, Isshiki lives for causing havoc on her flank. Whenever she steps on the pitch, you can bet she's going to do her damnedest to give her defender a torrid time. Being an out-and-out winger, she has that yard of pace which enables her to always be a step ahead of the pursuing defender, and it is undeniably her biggest asset.

Unlike the more technical Uryū, who revels in executing sublime crosses and pulling off spectacular dribbles, Isshiki doesn't bother with the aesthetic side of the game if she can get away with it - she simply blows past everyone else and gets the ball into the box, failing which she will apply the finishing touch herself. You would be surprised at how much damage Isshiki can cause with a penetrating run with the ball, but it's just another day on the job for the speed merchant. Don't be fooled into thinking that Isshiki's speed is her only strength, though; the Canterlot Stars winger has made a name for herself after bamboozling a boatload of handily experienced veterans during her debut cycle. Underestimate her at your own peril.

17 • Kirara STEINER • 15 years • Right winger

30 • Miki KURUGAYA • 18 years • Forward

A highly accomplished target man, Kurugaya's finishing prowess - both in the air and on the ground - is simply unsurpassed in Mizuyuki. Standing at 174 centimetres tall, Kurugaya is a strong presence in the penalty area, and she uses her strength to great effect. Whether it be sweeping loose balls home from close range or sending goalkeepers sprawling with thirty-yard piledrivers, Kurugaya is in her element when scoring - she and Tsuchimikado alone have contributed close to forty percent of the Nova's goals over the last three cycles.

However, she isn't a selfish player by any means; she is equally comfortable holding the ball up and waiting for support to arrive. Pace is yet another key attribute in the Kurugaya armoury, while her athleticism has improved by leaps and bounds after Shirakiin slotted her into the starting XI in place of Izawa. Her sheer instinct for knowing when to arrive in the box has contributed to a large amount of her goals, while opposition defenders would do well to pay attention to her propensity to force the issue and pull the trigger at the slightest hint of an opening.

THE COMMONWEALTH OF THE FALLENMARK ISLANDS ROSTER FOR WORLD CUP 72
Nation Name: The Commonwealth of The Fallenmark Islands
(Though for short simply Fallenmark - the geographical name of the archipelago - is perfectly acceptable; provided you don't mind offending the autonomous nation of Cairnskillen. After Cairnskillen's independence from the Commonwealth was made official, the politically correct name for the combined archipelago they share is 'Lesser Valhalla', but you're unlikely to see many Fallenmark call it that colloquially.)
Demonym: Fallenmarks/Valhallans
Team Nickname: The Herons
Official Supporters Group: The Blue Unit
Pronounced: [fal-ehn-mark], not [faw-luhn-mark]

KIT COLOURS:
HOME - AWAY - KEEPER

HOME STADIUM:

Folkstadion - 23,819(Marylebone)

HOME SUPPORT: The Shelfside - Home of The Blue Unit

STAFF:
Manager: Alexsandr van Sorensen (PIS), 47
Record in Charge: P 55, W 18, D 7, L 30, GF 95, GA 115, GD -20, WP 33%
A legend in Polarian football, Alexsandr van Sorensen led his country at two World Cup finals before whilst captain, and later moved into coaching and the assistant manager's position at childhood club Jan Mayen Islanders. It would have had to have been a big job to tempt him away from the Ospreys, and so it was, as fellow Valhallan Union nation The Fallenmark Islands surveyed their options and invited van Sorensen to cut his teeth at management with them. He brings with him a mind bent on attacking football, a whole host of Baptism of Fire and international experience, as well as the best contacts a man can bring. Widely considered to be the best player to have ever pulled on the famous Terns jersey, for whom he'll likely be the record caps-holder forever, Alexsandr now has the perfect opportunity to become a legend in another Valhallan nation. Suffers from rare brain condition synaesthesia, which means his senses get all mixed up and confused in his head. However, he appears to have turned this into an advantage on the pitch, and in the dugout. Things almost got off to the perfect start at the Baptism of Fire, with the Herons becoming the latest VU side to finish as runners-up, but things weren't quite so good in qualifying as the team struggled badly and only picked up five points overall - four of which came in their last two games. Things have gotten better since though, and a goal difference of only -20 after fifty-five games shows that things are on the cusp of changing for the better. The challenge now for van Sorensen is to push this experienced group of players into that top half of the qualifying group. Minnows no longer, the Herons want to be official trouble-makers.

Assistant Manager: Dietar Eygenroy (BLK), 53
A Blockhead with a history of being a keen disciplinarian, Eygenroy matches van Sorensen in being the captain of his national side at international level. In fact, with the lack of Bleak Rock representation in international football these days, Eygenroy's presence as assistant manager convinced a couple of the Blockheads with Fallenmark ties in the squad to switch allegiance to the Commonwealth. A hard-nosed defensive midfielder in his day, Eygenroy has plenty of experience dealing with defensive coaching and unusual formations, so his presence will be key to complementing and filling the gaps in van Sorensen's otherwise attacking focus. Both will be missed by Jan Mayen Islanders.

Coach: Mikkel Kovalyov, 52
Coach: Eyvindur Ramberg, 61
The Fallenmark connection in the coaching team comes from Kovalyov and Ramberg, who have been brought in from Marylebone Invicta and Marylebone Esprit respectively, primarily to work on fitness and conditioning.

PLAYERS:
#1 - GLK - Karl Pfennig - Age 33 - Olympique Beaudette (SCT) - 40 Caps
- Calm, trusted, and one of the best players in the Minor Valhallan Premier until his move to Sicoutimont. Tall and confident in the air.

#2 - DEF - Niko Aamot - Age 30 - FC1. Bjarnarey Flotilla (PIS) - 43 Caps, 3 Goals
- Staggeringly tall and strong, Aamot has been snapped up by the Flotilla and more than holds his own in the competitive Divisjon One.

#3 - DEF - Guðvarður Mogensen - Age 26 - Canterlot Royals (EQS) - 21 Caps
- One of the young hopes for the future of Fallenmark football, Canterlot Royals and van Sorensen are placing a lot of faith in him.

#4 - DEF - Willem Moss - Age 32 - Cóndor-Valladares FC (SJG) - 41 Caps, 3 Assists, 2 Goals
- Moss drew widespread admiration for his performances for Kieslen Bridge, and has since got that big money move abroad.

#5 - LIB - Eero Darmstadt - Age 33 - FC1. Bjarnarey Flotilla (PIS) - 52 Caps, 11 Assists, 8 Goals- CAPTAIN
- The first name on many a scout's wishlist after his performances in the BoF, Darmstadt's solidity, leadership, and creativity are key to the side. A born winner.

#6 - MID - Luc Tikkanen - Age 30 - Alianza FC (SJG) - 41 Caps, 3 Assists, 1 Goal
- The utility man in the middle, Tikkanen's role will be to keep things tidy and keep things simple. An enforcer if required to be.

#7 - MID - Reuben Ness - Age 32 - SC Kiel (PIS) - 43 Caps, 12 Assists, 6 Goals - Vice-Captain
- A veteran of Divisjon One, Ness had never been called up for the Terns and so accepted the call from van Sorensen without looking back.

#8 - MID - Aberdeen Salt - Age 26 - Marylebone Esprit (TFI) - 16 Caps, 1 Assist, 1 Goal
- Coming in as one of only three domestically based players in the squad, Salt is a midfielder with a growing reputation for attacking from deep.

#9 - FWD - Niko Kekkonen - Age 29 - Krsthaven (SEM) - 26 Caps, 5 Assists, 5 Goals
- Kekkonen is a dead ball expert and has tricks and flicks to spare. Not quite so good when tracking back but he's a natural up front.

#10 - FWD - Klaus Just - Age 33 - FC1. Surtsey Island Gulls (PIS) - 46 Caps, 13 Assists, 7 Goals
- Another player previously thought of as Polarian, Just's father's place of birth means this experienced attacker can feature here.

#11 - FWD - Eiríkur Beyer - Age 28 - FC1. Bjarnarey Flotilla (PIS) - 53 Caps, 16 Assists, 23 Goals
- Fallenmark football's big hope for the future. Technically gifted and with a great strike, Beyer is the poster boy of the team and the third of the Bjarnarey-based trio.

~

#12 - GLK - Ruslan Korpelainen - Age 29 - Grimsby Town FC (DRV) - 8 Caps
- A surprise transfer to Bleak Rock has been followed by a surprise trip to Grimsby Town in Darvale - both have developed him as a player.

#13 - GLK - Martijn Bershadensky - Age 25 - Eretium AC (WBL) - 7 Caps
- Bershadensky's age conceals an experienced and talented goalkeeper with a big future ahead of him.

#14 - MID - Edvard Oistrakh - Age 21 - FF Berafjörðinn (BLK) - Uncapped
- With a few whispers that he might be the next player in the Darmstadt shape, much is hoped for from young Oistrakh.

#15 - DEF - Klaus Minkowski - Age 33 - Cassandra City (COS) - 28 Caps, 2 Assists
- A roaming defender with an eye for goal from set pieces, Minkowski was simply too good to settle for Auchtenmill's delights, and now plays in Cosumar.

#16 - DEF - Torre Alm - age 24 - Gunnmarket (TFI) - Uncapped
- Versatile and pacy, Alm's performances as captain of Gunnmarket have led him to a well deserved call-up to the national side.

#17 - MID - Oleg Urness - Age 31 - April 7 FC (OAM) - 24 Caps, 1 Assist, 1 Goal
- Never stops running and will never stop chasing what other people would consider a lost cause, Urness is as dependable as they come.

#18 - FWD - Artemiusz Vyrubova - Age 34 - Goteborg FF (FLX) - 28 Caps, 3 Assists, 2 Goals
- A resident of Marylebone until his move to Felix, Artemiusz is a versatile and talented wide right with a fierce shot.

#19 - FWD - Gustaf Graz - Age 23 - Chatswood (NPH) - Uncapped
- An exciting talent who moved to Nephara from PVTCo, Graz is a hard-working wide attacker with eyes on Klaus Just's spot in the XI.

#20 - FWD - Arnljótur Juran - Age 32 - Hornchurch (EUR) - 36 Caps, 3 Assists, 9 Goals
- A little annoyed to have missed out on the starting spot to Kekkonen following Dafinnursson's retirement, Juran is looking to prove a point.

#21 - MID - Jonatan Klein - Age 20 - SK Aasiaat Harbour (PIS) - Uncapped
- Discovered in the Aasiaat youth team, a hard-hitting midfielder who declined Polarian call-ups to remain eligible for the Herons.

#22 - DEF - Nikolai Haavikko - Age 27 - Marylebone Invicta (TFI) - 18 Caps
- Already a fan favourite at Invicta thanks to his unrestrained passion for the club, Haavikko could well be around for a long time.

#23 - DEF - Gunnar Kristensen - Age 28 - FF Berafjörðinn (BLK) - 14 Caps, 1 Assist
- A series of impressive cameos in the cup competitions soon lead to this talented defender becoming a fixture in his club's backline.

TACTICS: "The Orion" 1-3-3-3
A student of the game, Alexsandr van Sorensen has gone back as far as the successful tactics used by Anders Laursen for SK Franz Josef City, way back in the 1950s, for his tactical inspiration. Drawing on the best traditions of Valhallan attacking football, the line-up aims to utilise attacking wide defenders when in possession, and a centrally based libero, Darmstadt, to swiftly turn defence into attack, whilst keeping things tight at the back thanks to the dropping presence of Salt. The lop sided trio in midfield that gives the formation its nickname will aim to retain the ball, whilst Kekkonen will receive lots of support up front from the wing-attackers Beyer and Just, the latter of whom drops back to keep the three-man midfield when the opposition have the ball and Salt is already falling back to sit alongside Darmstadt. Darmstadt's lungbusting free role makes it a difficult formation to write down numerically - even as a 1-3-3-3 - but if you think of it as a 3-4-3 in attack and a 5-3-1-1 in defence then that's a good start.

PANTOKRATIC DOMINATE OF EMPEROR PUDU - PDE

MEN'S NATIONAL FOOTBALL TEAM - BAPTISM OF FIRE LIX

The national side come to the World Cup bears a strong resemblance to the squad that went to the final in the most recent Baptism of Fire. Although the disappearance of their coach prior to the final in the Baptism had put the team under pressure, the assistant coach Bogdan Obakumovich proved more than capable as he led the squad to a post-Baptism victory in the invitational Rabastor Unity Trophy. After the Baptism there were three open spots on the national team, as a trio of players had been arrested and subsequently suspended from the team during the tournament in Saintland. Coach Bogdan's replacements served well in Callistea and have been brought here to Valanora to see if lightning might strike twice, or even strike remotely close.

In addition to the big names, like Agafopod, Vakhromeev, Iarlyk, Abakumov and the Tsang brothers, all of whom fans will be familiar with from their spectacular club play and recent caps in the Baptism and Unity Trophy, the team has added three new players. The first, on the defensive line, is Ivan Oiatkin. Considered before the start of the tournament season a likely choice for the national side, he narrowly missed selection the first time around but now he's boarded the plane and joined the team in time for the Unity Trophy and has been with the team ever since. Oiatkin was considered the anchor of the strong defensive line that helped Hollarum FC take the league championship this last season, though Oiatkin's club side teammate and national side striker Tsang Hong Lim certainly played his part as well. The next recent addition is Yu Chixuan, a gifted midfield player noted for his technical play and solid footwork. He is exactly the sort of clinical player that would fit well in any system, but here, where controlled play and discipline are so important, he was an easy choice for Bogdan. Nekras Emikov is the third recent call-up; an attacking midfielder for the club side Nisi, Emikov has been accused by some of being past his prime, though anyone who sees him cut inside a defender at the top of the box might disagree. A veteran player with experience playing for both the departed Lucan as well as Bogdan, his deadly left foot and sharp mind for the game will make him a threat in midfield alone or at the center of a developing attack.

#9	RFW	Tsang Hong Lim			Hollarum FC
#10	LFW	Tsang Man Fai			Capital City
#18	FW	Kaeso Camelius Velius		Athuk Captains

The team's tactics in the competition will remain in the style of their departed manager, Quintus Maelius Lucan. A team that emphasizes control and long-buildups, the Pudite side will look to start all their attacks from the back. The five-three-two formation allows for the two wing-backs to overlap once the attack is on. Strong midfield play from #8 Iarlyk and #42 Abakumov, both well-known playmakers and teammates on their club side, will anchor the Pudite line and allow those wingers to join the two starting strikers, twin brothers Tsang Hong Lim and Tsang Man Fai. These two proved lethal in the team's recent games and, though everyone will be hungry for goals when the time to strike is right, these two will likely be the source of the team's scoring power.

COACHING STAFF

Manager: Bogdan Obakumovich
Assistant Manager: Soshko Kasporovich

GK Coach: Fu Junling
Fitness Coach: Ali Khazri
Team Manager: Soshko Kasporovich
Tactics Analyst: Li Yue
Head Scout: Cai Hao
Physician: Grigorii Anefimov
Physiotherapist: Marcus Manlius Iovius

After the departure of Lucan, Bogdan Obakumovich has stepped up to head the national side. He is a former player and coach from the famous Nunkid United, the most successful team in the history of the Pudite Premier League. Bogdan is a notorious figure among those he has played with, against, and those who have played for him. He came to the sport relatively late in life (for an athlete) being signed to his first club at the age of 25. His previous seven years were spent first in the municipal militia, where he advanced to junior officer grade, and then in the elite Immediate Action Units, the counter-terrorism operatives of the autonomous cities. As such he was seen as a player, and even more so as a coach, as a drill instructor. He was famous for carrying his military sidearm with him while coaching Nunkid United, until an infamous incident in which he fired it at the opposing team's coach. He insists that he missed on purpose, which seems likely given his resume, but even so Bogdan was arrested and although he dodged the charge of attempted murder, he was forbidden from carrying his pistol onto the pitch any longer.

Bogdan elevated the former team manager, Soshko Kasporovich, to the assistant manager spot after the pair handled the Baptism final and the Unity Trophy together. Soshko is a little more loose, ready to take chances and improvise than the taciturn and disciplined Obakumovich. Soshko's history as first a young player for Capital City and then traded as a veteran striker to Quintus Lucan's own Islands FC for his last two years of play means that Soshko might have more insight than many other players and coaches into the style of the former national side boss whose tactics the team continues to emulate. His limited experience as a coach, only four seasons, means that he is still relatively green on this side of the game, however, and will continue to rely on the experience of Bogdan.

The coaches will select the squad from the National Player pool. Players are listed below, grouped by position and sorted by projection 'Depth Chart' position where the top player listed is most likely to be named the first player selected for that position, and so on. Depth chart positions are determined by performance in pre-cup training sessions, as well as performance and average ratings in the Vilitan League competition and previous appearances for the National Team.

GOALKEEPERS:

[ 93 ] G.Q Disterfred II [ - Cednia Beach AFC - ]
------- GK ( AGE: 23 CAPS: :: GOALS::SR: U21: REG: ) :: [ N/R ]
Young prospect Disterfred pushed Inura Forests into the top half of the Season 38 Declasse, earning player of the season honors at the club and earning recognition as a serious propsect for the National Team. Disterfred was a member of the AOCAF 41 Championship Winning side, but did not start any of the 7 matches en-route to the title. When head coach Nycflala Kater took a back seat early in the competition during AOCAF 42, however, Disterfred had his chance to play as Vilita & Turori earned their second consecutive AOCAF title. However, Disterfred's domestic career took a negative turn when Inura Forests were relegated out of the Vilitan League, prompting a cross-country transfer to the Kionao Locals in the Declasse division. Despite the strong leadership of Lita Adjei and good performances in the UICA Competitions, Kionao was unable to get promoted and eventually Disterfred would move to Turoki Isle in order to get a chance to play in the Stellar Division. Having played his whole career in Vilita, Disterfred was eventually convinced to return home to Turori when the chance to play at Cednia Beach AFC was presented, Disterfred being named the replacement for retiring Vilitan netminder Jaqe Planst.

[ 92 ] Sharif Deniibo [ - Lonngeylin City (Vilita) - ]
------- GK ( AGE: 21 CAPS: :: GOALS::SR: U21: REG: ) :: [ N/R ]
Snapped up at a young age by the Turoki Tide who identified a young Deniibo as an ideal prospect to play along side and be tutored by the Tide's Turorian National team goalkeeper Hooizo Nuakoi. After spending 5 seasons as apprentice to Nuakoi in Turoki, Deniibo switched to Lonngeylin City in an attempt to get regular first team action.

[ 94 ] Mitimi Obalialo [ - Cednia Beach AFC - ]
------- GK ( AGE: 15 CAPS: :: GOALS::SR: 0 U21: REG: ) :: [ N/R ]

DEFENDERS:

[ 6 ] Inaosnaa Klanoa [ - Eastal Lunar (Vilita) - ]
------- D RLC ( AGE: 22 CAPS: :: GOALS::SR: U21: REG: ) :: [ N/R ]
Klanoa was named Eastal Lunar player of the season during Season 43 leading the team to the Declasse title and promotion to the Stellar Division.

[ 54 ] Oani Moralziia [ - Cednia Beach AFC - ]
------- D RL ( AGE: 22 CAPS: :: GOALS::SR: U21: REG: ) :: [ N/R ]
After being part of the Vilita & Turori squad that won AOCAF 42, Moralziia was a member of the Cednia Beach AFC squad that won the Vilitan Cup during Season 43, and subsequently went on to win the 50th UICA Globe Cup, the first ever UICA Top-Level Champions from Turori.

[ 59 ] Geafi Laina-Sola [ - Mliona-Lpaka AFC - ]
------- D RLC ( AGE: 21 CAPS: :: GOALS::SR: U21: REG: ) :: [ N/R ]
Laina-Sola started their career as a training in Inura before being spotted by the big clubs and playing a few seasons with Jlinal Cove and Makosile in Vilita. Then, however, the young Turorian defender finally made the big move home to Mliona-Lpaka in time for V-League Season 44.

[ 58 ] Dmitri Levada [ - Cednia Beach AFC - ]
------- D LC ( AGE: 20 CAPS: :: GOALS::SR: U21: REG: ) :: [ N/R ]
After being part of the Vilita & Turori squad that won AOCAF 42, Levada was a member of the Cednia Beach AFC squad that won the Vilitan Cup during Season 43, and subsequently went on to win the 50th UICA Globe Cup, the first ever UICA Top-Level Champions from Turori.

[ 55 ] Majid Jedidi [ - Kiiarana City (Vilita) - ]
------- D C ( AGE: 19 CAPS: :: GOALS::SR: U21: REG: ) :: [ N/R ]
Jedidi made the move from Turori to Kiiarana City on the western shore of Vilita prior to V-League season 44.

[ 56 ] Tarek Edgeli [ - Strike FC (Vilita) - ]
------- D RLC ( AGE: 19 CAPS: :: GOALS::SR: U21: REG: ) :: [ N/R ]
After spending 3 seasons being trained in Crosaibi at Marine Coast United, Edgeli made the switch down the coast to the Lonngeylin Coliseum for Season 43. While Strike were unable to win any silverware, Edgeli fit straight into the squad as one of the top performing defenders in the entire league earning instant plaudits and recognition back in Turori.

[ 68 ] Mikki Mayelli [ - Eastal Lunar - ]
------- D C ( AGE: 16 CAPS: :: GOALS::SR: U21: REG: ) :: [ N/R ]

[ 69 ] Yitizo Mpala'a [ - Makosile FC - ]
------- D C ( AGE: 15 CAPS: :: GOALS::SR: U21: REG: ) :: [ N/R ]

MIDFIELDERS:

[ 22 ] Klaillal Tuirma [ - Mliona-Lpaka - ]
------- ATH ( AGE: 28 CAPS: :: GOALS::SR: U21: REG: ) :: [ N/R ]
Descendant of Season 4 Turorian Player of the Season and National team legend Cuolia Tuirma, Klaillal will work with Restiaa Mumamba to become the future "All-Around" player for the Turori National Team. Playing in a unique role, Tuirma will be expected to fill the role of being able to play every game, in every position - even Goalkeeper, if there are no subs left. Tuirma will certainly be starting as a substitute during their debut campaign in World Cup 62 but may get the chance to start against weaker opposition. After being brought up through the academy system at Kionao, Tuirma signed a professional contract with Colonial Sile in Vilita for Season 35, winning silverware in the first match, the Tropical Trophy triumph over Strike. Tuirma's stay in Sile didn't last long, however, coaxed back to the luxury of Arcticala Inlet to help in their Champions-Cup qualifying campaign of Season 38. Tuirma returned to Turori during Season 44 as a member of Mliona-Lpaka AFC

[ 21 ] Etamara Kulkkiia [ - AC Izotz Zubia (AUD) - ]
------- AM C ( AGE: 25 CAPS: :: GOALS::SR: U21: REG: ) :: [ N/R ]
Kulkkiia was developed at the Cednia Beach Academy having been highly scouted and recruited by teams throughout Turori and even Vilita. After the Turori Eels failure to qualify for World Cup 64, Kulkkiia became the subject of media attention questioning whether the aging crop of players should make way for younger players like Kulkkiia in the Esportiva-hosted Cup of Harmony for World Cup 64. Kulkkiia added his name to the long line of major transfers involving Cednia Beach after being transferred to SC Montfort in the Licentian Isles prior to Season 42

[ ] Inlite Makakio [ - Arcticala Inlet (Vilita) - ]
------- M LC ( AGE: 23 CAPS: :: GOALS::SR: U21: REG: ) :: [ N/R ]
The twin brother of Strike FC attacking sesation Enluta Makakio, Inlite started his career as 2 time player of the year at Inura Forests before making the jump to Vilita, eventually landing a transfer to Arcticala Inlet for V-League season 44.

[ 32 ] Kigaoua Oalalka [ - Lonngeylin City (VIL) - ]
------- M RC ( AGE: 22 CAPS: :: GOALS::SR: U21: REG: ) :: [ N/R ]
Oalalka never could get settled down in Vilita, taking trial runs at clubs such as the Turoki Tide, Inland Peaks and Mavaloiao before switching gears and looking at international transfer options. Eventually however, after 4 international seasons, Oalalka landed in Lonngeylin at Strike FC. Serving a bit-part role, the young Turorian would make the switch across town to Lonngeylin City to get regular playing time.

[ 52 ] Aiden Varess [ - Cednia Beach AFC - ]
------- M RC ( AGE: 21 CAPS: :: GOALS::SR: U21: REG: ) :: [ N/R ]

[ 78 ] Teliima Loinara [ - Corra Rangers - ]

[ 27 ] Ikala Mravedii [ - Tropicorp FC - ]
------- M RLC ( AGE: 18 CAPS: 0 :: GOALS::SR: 0 U21: REG: ) :: [ N/R ]
Mravedii made their debut for the Vilita National Team at the Eagle's Cup V tournament.

[ 73 ] Timi'sala Koarena [ - Alikki-Corra - ]
------- M LC ( AGE: 17 CAPS: 0 :: GOALS::SR: 0 U21: REG: ) :: [ N/R ]

[ 55 ] Mbdiai Akarenaa [ - Cednia Beach AFC - ]
------- M LC ( AGE: 15 CAPS: 0 :: GOALS::SR: 0 U21: REG: ) :: [ N/R ]
Akarenaa started out at the Eelandii Academy before signing a professional contract with Cednia Beach AFC during V-League 47

[ 29 ] Indelli Nura'amura [ - - ]
------- ATH ( AGE: 15 CAPS: :: GOALS::SR: U21: REG: ) :: [ N/R ]

FORWARDS:

[ 11 ] Enluta Makakio [ - Strike FC (Vilita) - ]
------- F C ( AGE: 23 CAPS: :: GOALS::SR: U21: REG: ) :: [ N/R ]
After coming through the ranks in Kionao, Makakio's performances got the attention of the scouts at Strike FC who signed the young Turorian attacker for their Season 39 campaign.

[ 18 ] Matlya Eelador [ - Cednia Beach AFC - ]
------- F C ( AGE: 23 CAPS: :: GOALS::SR: U21: REG: ) :: [ N/R ]
Although Eelador was never known as being the most prolific scorer in the Vilitan League, he regularly put forth consistent performances for his club. Eelador was a member of the Cednia Beach AFC squad that won the Vilitan Cup during Season 43, and subsequently went on to win the 50th UICA Globe Cup, the first ever UICA Top-Level Champions from Turori.

[ 19 ] Inamari Altariiz [ - Mliona-Lpaka - ]
------- F C ( AGE: 23 CAPS: :: GOALS::SR: U21: REG: ) :: [ N/R ]
Altariiz was instantly identified as a high-quality prospect at Mliona-Lpaka and was promoted to the senior squad at 16 years of age taking up a starting role in Mliona-Lpaka's Season 38 campaign. Altariiz was named Mliona-Lpaka's player of the season for 39 & 40 in addition to being named Turorian Player of the Season during Season 40 after leading MLiona-Lpaka to the Vilitan Cup title.

[ 56 ] Mirana Gotuai [ - Mist City Floatzels (NSI) - ]
------- F C ( AGE: 18 CAPS: 0 :: GOALS::SR: 0 U21: REG: ) :: [ N/R ]

PLAYER BIOS:

1. Ethan Kuhlmann (GK,20,M): Born and brought up in very rough conditions, Kuhlmann is a very physically sturdy goalkeeper. His childhood practice of throwing tennis balls at a wall at a high speed and then collecting the rebound has really increased his agility and power; thus making him the 1st choice goalkeeper of the current Gloriax squad. The word in the media is that Kuhlmann being a young prodigy shows great promise and may even be on his way to great success in the coming years. Having been signed by Mareibat club Harmonica Tundra, he is quite keen to squeeze the best out of himself for his team - be it the club or the nation.
Signed by Harmonica Tundra, Mareibat.

2. Megan Miranda (GK,23,F): The first female goalie to ever make it into the Gloriax national team (thanks to the Renaissance), Miranda's first love was never football, although she played it fairly regularly it in her neighbourhood as a pastime activity. Catching the eye of one of the GloScouts, she made her fantasy entry into the national squad not many months before the previous World Cup. Good 1-on-1 and penalty-saving ability makes her the likelier choice for knockout matches. The general opinion in the Gloriaxian footballing community is that she needs a lot more polishing to be of the standard that is desired. She got the chance of her lifetime, after her commendable performance in the Gloriax shirt, when she got an offer from Nepharim giants, Violence Chariots - she only expects herself to go from strength to strength in the coming years.
Signed by Violence Chariots, Nephara.

3. Xuan Stcyr (CB,18,F): Fairly young at 17, Xuan Stcyr has made an impact in the team's practice sessions with her liveliness, and unending energy and enthusiasm. She has a very accurate long pass which could prove very handy if the Tigers choose to play long ball tactics. A fine final tackle is also up her sleeve for those critical match situations when the opposition is peppering the defence with countless attacks. All of this, of course with the little lack of maturity, which comes across as the only con. Her performance has not been up to full potential in the previous world cup, as she was peppered with injuries. Realizing her ability, Gentlemen's club from Mareibat have signed her on.
Signed by Gentlemen's Club, Mareibat.

4. Karyl Bayne (LB,24,F): The undisputed glam queen of this squad, Bayne is one of the up-and-coming stars of the Gloriaxian game. Her blistering speed down the wings makes up for the little lack of skill she has on the ball. A very high awareness quality makes her one of the most alert defenders on the field. Following soon after the World Cup, was the Multiverse Premier League, where she took the Strangers to a whole new level of performance and style.
Signed by Strangers FC, Venta de la Mesilla (MPL).

5. Hassan Kentner (RB,19,M): A good young talented stopper, Kentner puts himself through as some of the most gutsy defenders around. He is never afraid to go for that odd 50-50 ball and give his 110% for every lose ball. Even though this makes him injury prone, he is a definite starter for high voltage games. To put it in a phrase, he plays with a vengeance - as if he had lended money to all of the opposition attackers, and he wants it back! Maybe it was this vengeance that Sparta Torspeda saw in him which impressed them for a lucrative contract, which could only help him becoming one of the best this part of the multiverse has ever seen.
Signed by Sparta Torspeda, Buyan.

6. Otis Pinney (CB,29,M): A well built figure, Pinney can be sensed from the off as one of those defenders who will rarely be over-coming in tackles. Rather, he depends more on timely challenges and shielding the striker away from goal. His ability to know where his team mates are just with a quick glance, is a great statement of his vision, and is an asset to the team. He believes in playing the 'inspiring' game and extracts the 100% performance from his fellow defenders. He isn't naturally agile, and age has made an obvious mark on his agility, but his build makes up for it. The signing of Pinney by Equestrian club Seaddle sounders has been acclaimed by Gloriaxian critics as the prospective turning point of hi career.
Signed by Seaddle Sounders, Equestrian States.

10. Rusty Mangano (CM,17,M): The youngest member of the squad at 16, Mangano has already won over the fans with his playmaking ability - not to mention the number of women he's already attracted. Nicknamed in the media as "The Kid", he has always dreamt to be a footballer, and represent his country at the World Cup proper. Although this dream of his is far away at the moment, Mangano is steadily improving his game in the camp. His cheeky lob over defenders and highly penetrating through passes have proven to be highly effective in the practice matches, but lack of patience with the ball is showing in his game. The general feeling in the masses, although is that, "The Kid" has a lot more to give to Gloriax. What we are seeing is just the starting of a scintillating career. The question is, though - will a move to SC Volker's academy team improve him still?
Signed by SC Volker B, Felix.

15. Gianna Spahn (CM,21,F): Gianna Spahn, a product of the very recent Renaissance program of the newly-formed Gloriax FA, has shown good promise in the city vs. city matches in the selection rounds. Her down-the-middle runs and swift switchovers to the wings keep the game flowing. She also has the ability to control the tempo of the game, making her an absolute asset for the Gloriaxian squad.
Signed by International of Tyrellia, Legalese.

13. Frederico Hiett (LM,24,M): Another fast-paced midfielder, Hiett has a great man-marking ability, making him mostly used more as a defensive left-winger than an attacking one. Still, Hiett can be very useful when operating up the field in the left wing. His swift left foot makes it ideal for him to deliver crosses into the box for easy tap-ins into the net. The opinion in the community is that Hiett will be one of those one-in-a-hundred finds in the talent pool. He only needs that extra bit of nurturing to go that extra mile.
Signed by Aturra SC, Yttribia.

12. Glynda Weekes (RM,27,F): The short-pass expert, Glynda Weekes has an amazing right foot which she can use to whip in fast grounded balls from the edge of the box across the face of the goal for players like Purinton to get a shot in and score. Not the most agile players around, Weekes depends more on the second ball to try and dribble through to the edge of the box and to find that perfect opening for a cross or a shot on goal. Glynda seemed to be the last part of the jigsaw for Equestrian cup-runners-up-club, Everfree Forest.
Signed by Everfree Forest, Equestrian States.

14. James Lindberg (CM,25,M): The super sub of the quality packed midfield, James Lindberg is a good playmaker. May not be a world beater, but certainly one who is good enough to get into the Gloriaxian squad. Great awareness of the positions of players, and silky touches on the ball makes him one of those tough customers to deal with as midfielders - he won't let go of the ball until you foul him. That's his mentality. He is a player who is a fine substitution when the Tigers are winning by a margin of 1-2 goals, and there is hardly 10 minutes left. He will hold the ball, bend the rules, do whatever - but steal away precious seconds from the clock. It seemed Pajukas Sport of Buyan found their man in him, and signed him on just as the World Cup ended.
Signed by Pajukas Sport, Buyan.

11. Lore Coppinger (ST,18,F): Another wonder teen in the Gloriax line-up, Coppinger is one of the most skilfully advanced players on the squad. At the age of just 16, Coppinger has shown great promise as a striker. Her awareness of the goal, superb power in shots, and good heading ability makes her one of the possible future stars in the Gloriax line-up. She also has the uncanny ability of creating assists out of the blue. This makes her a definite inclusion in the Gloriax firing line. Critics say, that she being signed by Altomare's academy will help her bloom as a player. Only time will tell.
Signed by Altomare B, Felix.

8. Isidro Paull (ST,23,M): The lone male striker in the Gloriax line-up, Paull is known for his net-ripping blistering shots on goal. Although not as agile as expected from an NT striker, he makes up for it with his power and burly build. Thus, he has that strong presence on field that can be felt in the opposition defenders. Signed on by AC Zevella of Yttribia, he hopes to solidify his status as starting striker in the Gloriax outfit.
Signed by AC Zevella, Yttribia.

7. Dana Stockard (ST,17,F): Another 16-year old promise up from the Gloriaxian talent pool. Blistering speed and switchover passes to the wings don’t make her a potentially difficult customer alone, but with the return ball coming from Weekes and Hiett, there are only handfuls that can stop her. Her commendable passing accuracy makes her available to play as an attacking midfielder for the side if needed. Her talent didn't go unnoticed, as Real Santa Maria embraced her with open arms into their academy.
Signed by Real Santa Maria B, Felix.

9. Eloisa Purinton (ST,22,F): The skipper of the Gloriaxian squad, Purinton is the star striker of this new-look Gloriaxian squad. Her ability of taking set-pieces which curl to perfection in the air and amazing skill with the ball is like silk to the eyes. It always seems as if she can weave her way through defenders, no matter how burly and big they are. Amazing placement and curl, however comes with a bit of a lack of shot power. This makes her one of those players who will least likely take a blistering shot from 25 metres away, and rip the back of the net apart; but more of someone who will always find a way through defenders, and place it into the net by sending the keeper the wrong way from not more than 10 yards out. The squad also depends on her spot-kicks, in which she is almost bound to score provided she gets a fair go at it. This, the people say, is the player who will bring Gloriax great glory in the coming years. She also led the Corenellians FC of Schottia to great glory in the MPL championships...

Nassau National Football Squad

Nation: Nassau
Team Name: Eagles
Nickname: the Hessen, the Kuthoderians
Colors: Blue and Gold
Trigram: NAS
Denonym: Nassauite, Hessian
Style Modifier: -1
Formation: 5-3-2
Stadium: Arima Pavilion

Why The Names?:

Football is a very sacred sport to the Hessen. The prime players come from a very specific, isolated region of the nation down in the southern plain near Arima named Kuthoderia (hence Kuthoderians, in addition to the Hessen, remains a nickname for the national team). The people that inhabit these lands maintain a very strict tradition and cultural code. The tradition covers all things like clothing, social code, and even naming. It's nearly as if this ethnicity, renown for their unique physique and traits, was bred for football (of which is also a component of their tradition). These guys are so focused on raising new generations this way, that they are nearly entirely cut-off from the outside world.

Foreword:

The Hessen have exited their purported shrouded mystery. With a strong appearance at the Di Brandini Cup and a resuming of progression within the recently stalled organization (not many details are known of this, as Nassau has been on a minor isolationist lockdown as of late), the Eagles are ready to pick up where they left off.

With a highly functioning offense and midfield (odd for a defensively based squad) with virtually no (or at least negligible) substitutions in starting liners those areas. With the new 5-3-2 formation starting to grow on the squad after multiple matches in playing it to its desired effect, this aligning has gained predominance with the team.

With this new formation, there must be a net-minder to back it all. The goaltender in question has become shaded, as Brambler has been challenged by the highly successful Sandy Roper in a competition for starting position. This battle will likely be similar to that of a see-saw, and a thrilling finish is anticipated. As of yet, Brambler retains the hot-seat with a reconfiguring defensive line.

Additionally, for the first time in a while, consistency in roster has been established, as rookies have been sparse this rotation of cups. Arima remains steadfastly thirsty for victory in football, the question is...will it be quenched?

Kits

Home Away

Manager
Vanauraiiel Nardironel (F)
Age: 1300
Nardironel is a small and quirky woman who is very unassuming, until you get to the training pitch, where she will run you ragged and then when you feel your body collapsing, run you even more ragged until you are in the ultimate peak condition you can be. The only person on the brain trust to survive the overhaul from last World Cup's dismal showing. She was initially given only a two year contract, but after leading the Marauders to a surprise win in the AOCAF, she has been given two full cycles to try and right the team in the World Cup. While the first cycle went horribly awry, the VSC decided to let her continue out the entirety of her contract when they got the hosting rights for World Cup 72, hoping that the woman can give a good account of the team on the home grounds.

Assistant Manager
Vamariiel Falavir (F)
Age: 1480
Ibini's assistant finds herself in the same spot on the national team program after the VFA decided to do a complete overhaul of the Vanorian national team program following three straight tournaments of not making the knockout rounds of the World Cup. She is a very easy going personality, a complete reverse to the traditional personalities that take the assistant spot as the team looks to scramble back to their usual standards with new approaches.

Keeper

1 Aediron Galadirdren, Ibini FC
Age - 679
Sex - M
Height: 6'2"
Weight: 174 lbs
Galadirdren looks to be the long term solution for the Marauders in net after several stellar seasons in the domestic scene with Ibini FC. While not loud and "in control" of his box, the keeper is very good when the opposition has a breakaway, as well as some amazing reflexes. His best attribute though is his near perfect position, always seeming to know where the opposition is going to place their shots or crosses.

Defenders

2 Morlaithan Aldamiel, AC Izotz Zubia

Age - 692
Sex - M
Height: 6'1"
Weight: 162 lbs
A tough and quiet sort at the back, more physical than your usual Vanorian centerback thanks to the years that he has played in Audioslavia. More of a stay at home defender than the rest of the backline and more prone the occasional card due to the more physical nature.

3 Rainyardil Toraandal, Mar Sara FC
Age - 651
Sex - M
Height: 6'3"
Weight: 168 lbs
Toraandal is deceptively fast and agile for a person of his size and also very keen to get in on the attack during prolonged spells in the opponents third. With his size and pure athletic ability, he has a knack for getting open in the box and heading home his fair share of goals, though it is his stern defending that is the reason that he was put on to the starting eleven.

4 Revhil Lardireil, Hondo FC
Age - 650
Sex - M
Height: 6'2"
Weight: 171 lbs
Like Toraandal, Lardireil is used to getting into the attack, having spent the majority of his career at Hondo with their attacking flavor. However he has the speed of a cheetah and the strength of an elephant, most likely the most versatile of the three defenders that the side uses.

Midfield

21 Espy va Drake, Yuba United (Paripana)
Age: 755
Sex - M
Height: 5'11"
Weight: 159 lbs
After becoming a folklore hero for the lower class of the world, va Drake has made himself one of the living legends of the game after help leading the side to a title in World Cup 53. He has traveled far and wide while plying his trade, donning kits for no less than five countries clubs. Seen as the driving force in the middle of the park alongside Hawk, it is up to the opposition to try and figure out how to deal with the brilliance the winger and his other attackers have rather than them to create magic.

6 Caeltimyonan Haerear, Mar Sara FC
Age - 610
Sex - M
Height: 6'0"
Weight: 163 lbs
Coming from Mar Sara you would expect Haerear to be more of an attacking option, yet the midfielder is more of a box to box playmaker than the attacking midfielders usually coming from the Flames. Not overly fast or physical but Haerear has a motor that never quits, never giving up on a play or a game despite how dire the situation may be.

14 Laborious Hawk, Dwile Warriors

Age - 719
Sex -M
Height: 6'5"
Weight: 213 lbs
Words do not even begin to define his talent, his talent defines words. He was awarded one of the spots that the Vanorians have in the World Cup Hall of Fame, with it being very well deserved, as he has and continues to earn everything he has been given every single day. Hawk simply strives to be the very best footballer, captain, and teammate that there can be, with the hunger for perfection driving him forth on and off the pitch.

8 Ilglerdiriel Lithvathar, Raynor City United
Age - 725
Sex - F
Height: 5'10"
Weight: 149 lbs
Lithvathar is much like va Drake, a floater who is dynamic in attack but with enough speed and sense of the pitch to make up on any sort of defensive lapse. Yet unlike her flankmate, she is not nearly as skilled, but do not let that fool you, in a moment of magic she can undress an entire backline and set up more prolific scorers with easy chances.

7 Faeron Soldarian, Raynor City United
Age - 633
Sex - M
Height: 6'1"
Weight: 163 lbs
Soldarian continues to live in the shadow of more well known players both on the national team and with his club. Despite this, Soldarian is seen by all on the squad as the emotional leader and the linchpin the in the middle that allows the more attacking minded midfielders being allowed to play their game.

Strikers

9 Allandren Fresco, Ibini FC
Age - 508
Sex - M
Height: 5'11"
Weight: 167 lbs
Fresco continues to lead the line of the attack, being the tip of the spear that is the Marauders offensive movement. By now most teams know of the striker's pace and near laser guided shot, however the striker still somehow finds ways to bring in the goals. With the more durable Celetholtinu to play off of, he looks to become even more dangerous, as the AOCAF championship proved.

11 Dûrdur Celetholtinu, Telecontarë

Age - 902
Sex - M
Height: 6'1"
Weight: 183 lbs
Dûrdur is by and large a holding forward, meant to retain possession for Fresco, Hawk, or va Drake to into possession for attacks. His large frame suits his style of play and the years in Audioslavia has made him quite equipped at taking kicks and chips while maintaining possession.

Kits

Home - Away - Reverse

The national team receives its kits from two different companies, though the design for each is the same. Kits for the humanoid players (see above) are provided by Kirola Sportswear of Audioslavia, while those for equine and other non-humanoid players are provided by Generosity Sporting Equipment. The Equestrian kits were designed to be simple and easy to identify, using the national colors of purple and orange.

Players

Goalkeepers

#1 - Gentle Breeze (Pegasus - Female)
Position: Goalkeeper | Age: 28 | Debut: vs.

Qazox (WC62 Qualifying)
Club:

Northbrook Diamonds FK | League:

FPIFA Divisjon One
International Caps: 115 | Assists: 2 | Goals: 0
Dubbed by some of her more devoted supporters "the Goddess of Goalkeeping", Gentle Breeze is considered by many one of the multiverse's best hoofballers even by fans outside her homeland, unlike many other players with similar claims of being among the sport's elite. Over the course of her career, the Ponies' keeper has won a Di Bradini Cup, six trophies with her club teams, and no fewer than four Golden Glove awards between two of the multiverse's top leagues. After making her international debut at age 18, Gentle Breeze initially was the Equestrian States' second-choice goalie behind High Soarin', but ultimately forced the veteran to retire from national team duties after taking his starting job. Since then, Gentle Breeze has been the Ponies' undisputed go-to goalkeeper yet is only now beginning to enter her prime years, her ambitions of someday being considered an all-time legendary great aren't as absurd as they may once have seemed.

#21 - Marilyn Peterson (Human - Female)
Position: Goalkeeper | Age: 24 | Debut: vs.

Urain (VIII Olympiad)
Club:

Sabrefell Moths | League:

NFA Premiership
International Caps: 18 | Assists: 0 | Goals: 0
Not a particularly well-known player, even among Equestrian hoofball fans, Marilyn Peterson is a goalkeeper who has shown considerable potential in her performances in the NFA Premiership over the past several seasons. Though Peterson has now passed Nightflame in the Ponies' depth chart, she's still nowhere near Gentle Breeze and her playing time will thus be limited to facing lower-caliber opponents. Regardless, Marilyn Peterson could likely be a starter for other national teams and will be a regular for the Ponies for the foreseeable future.

#22 - Nightflame (Unicorn - Male)
Position: Goalkeeper | Age: 27 | Debut: vs.

Yesopalitha (WC63 Qualifying)
Club:

Canterlot Stars | League:

United League
International Caps: 23 | Assists: 0 | Goals: 0
With Gentle Breeze on the team, Nightflame's playing time has almost always been limited to friendlies and low-importance international matches, but is still a talented goalkeeper with much to offer the Equestrian States national team. A product of the Canterlot Stars' famed youth academy, Nightflame has developed into one of the United League's top keepers and is a more than capable backup goalkeeper who steps up his game when called upon, a quality which serves him well given his role in the Equestrian squad.

Defenders

#12 - Brix Hamilton (Human - Female)
Position: Defender (LB/CB) | Age: 28 | Debut: vs.

Argo Islands (WC63 Qualifying)
Club:

SK Franz Josef City | League:

FPIFA Divisjon One
International Caps: 90 | Assists: 12 | Goals: 2
Unlike most other current Equestrian superstars, Brix Hamilton wasn't very highly-rated as a teen by scouts, and thus was more than happy to sign a modest deal with a mid-table club in Earent, Nithgard GU, where she quickly became a key member of the team. Several years after joining the Kaynd, Hamiton and Nithgard stunned the multiverse by first winning the Integ Brandel and then going all the way to the Champions' Cup quarrterfinals. From that season on, Brix Hamilton's stock soared as Nithgard climbed up the UICA rankings and eventually won a Champions' Cup title, Hamilton becoming just the second Equestrian to hoist the coveted trophy. Now with SK Franz Josef City after being sold to the legendary Polarian giants for $28 million NSD, Brix Hamilton is playing better than she ever has before and is determined to help lead the Ponies to glory in the World Cup.

#8 - Andrea Molovi (Human - Female)
Position: Defender (CB) | Age: 31 | Debut: vs.

Euskirribakondara (WC61 Qualifying)
Club:

1830 Cathair FC | League:

LigAnaia Division One
International Caps: 188 | Assists: 6 | Goals: 3
Despite being a longtime starter for the Ponies and one of the team's most experienced players, Andrea Molovi is considered by some as one of the Equestrian States' most overlooked stars. Among the first Equestrian-born human players to make a name for herself on the domestic and international level, Andrea's disciplined style of play often earns her praise from coaches and fellow players as she's able to make crucial tackles without being booked in the process. Andrea Molovi's role in 1830 Cathair's rise to international prominence after being sold by Stalliongrad HC has made her invaluable to her club's success, and though not as young as other Equestrian defenders is still a key member of the Equestrian back line and will likely remain so in the near future.

#3 - Flitter (Pegasus - Female)
Position: Defender (CB/DM) | Age: 32 | Debut: vs.

Waspeaters (WC60 Qualifying)
Club:

Jan Mayen Islanders | League:

FPIFA Divisjon One
International Caps: 219 | Assists: 21 | Goals: 10
Twin sister of Ponies captain Cloudchaser, Flitter is viewed by many as an anchor of the Equestrian back line and is considered one of the best defenders to ever represent the Equestrian States on the international stage. A regular starter for the Ponies since her debut as a promising 20 year-old during the World Cup 60 qualifying campaign, she may not be the most imposing player on the pitch, but Flitter is exceptionally quick and agile for a defender, often relying on her speed and hoofwork to steal or intercept the ball rather than brute force tackling.

#19 - Krysia Bailey (Human - Female)
Position: Defender (RB/CB/DM) | Age: 23 | Debut: vs.

Iturributa (WC68 Qualifying)
Club:

Avenida Leal | League:

FARF Freitball Ligá
International Caps: 57 | Assists: 8 | Goals: 2
One of several promising young defenders to make the senior team, Krysia Bailey is an extremely talented prospect who is already considered the best Equestrian right-back. Currently playing with Farfadillis' Avenida Leal, Krysia Bailey looks every bit like a star of the future and, along with Rumble and Erauso Iburrusteta, is routinely hailed as one of the faces of the next generation of Equestrian talent. Offensively-minded, Bailey isn't afraid to assist in the attack, charging down the flanks when called upon and launching pinpoint crosses to her waiting teammates.

#20 - Rumble (Pegasus - Male)
Position: Defender (CB/DM) | Age: 22 | Debut: vs.

Jeckland (Pre-WC68 Friendly)
Club:

Cloudsdale Flyers | League:

United League
International Caps: 56 | Assists: 2 | Goals: 0
The younger brother of longtime Ponies striker Thunderlane, Rumble is another one of Pearly White's "new generation" defenders. Though the young pegasus idolizes his older brother, Rumble's talents lie at the opposite end of the pitch, though his speed and versatility have seen him occasionally feature in the midfield where he's also excelled. Regardless of where Rumble is on the field, opponents should be careful not to underestimate this young Equestrian's abilities.

#27 - Sunlight (Unicorn - Female)
Position: Defender (RB/CB) | Age: 24 | Debut: vs.

Saint James Islands (Pre-WC69 Friendly)
Club:

Telino | League:

Yttribian Premiership
International Caps: 22 | Assists: 1 | Goals: 0
Sunlight is slightly older than her fellow "new generation" defensive stars and doesn't have quite the same megastar potential as the other youngsters Pearly White brought into the senior team, though her skills are a bit more developed than her colleagues' and is only second-choice on the right wing behind Krysia Bailey. Less of an attack-minded fullback than other Equestrian internationals like Bailey and Hamilton, Sunlight shines with her natural instincts and is equally-capable of performing in a central role.

#24 - Erauso Iburrusteta (Human - Male)
Position: Defender (CB) | Age: 22 | Debut: vs.

Osarius (Pre-WC69 Friendly)
Club:

SC Volker | League:

Felixian Premier League
International Caps: 37 | Assists: 2 | Goals: 0
Born and raised in Astograth, Erauso Iburrusteta defected to the Equestrian States after his homeland's government was toppled by the current fascist regime. Signed as a young prospect by the Cloudsdale Flyers, Erauso quickly rose through the ranks to establish himself in the United League before being signed by perennial Felixian power SC Volker. Boasting the pace to required keep up with the high tempo of the Equestrian game, Iburrusteta has already established his value to the Ponies' and is seen by Pearly White as an eventual replacement for Andrea Molovi whenever she decides to retire from international play.

Midfielders

#9 - Rainbow Blitz (Pegasus - Male) - VICE-CAPTAIN
Position: Midfielder (CAM/ST) | Age: 28 | Debut: vs.

Slembana (Pre-WC63 Friendly)
Club:

Makosile United | League:

V-League Stellar Division
International Caps: 173 | Assists: 80 | Goals: 73
Already considered legendary by many Equestrian hoofball supporters, Rainbow Blitz has been a starter for the Ponies ever since his international debut and was the star player of the Little Ponies teams that dominated the 26th and 27th Di Bradini Cups. Having spent nearly his entire career with Makosile United in the Stellar Division, Rainbow Blitz has long been one of the top midfielders in the V-League and is regularly among the league leaders in assists and average performance rating. The cyan pegasi's lightning-quick speed and remarkable agility are only really challenged on the Equestrian national team by emerging world-class striker Pristina Shine, but Rainbow Blitz's knack for creating scoring opportunities has played no small role in his teammate's international successes.

#2 - Cloudchaser (Pegasus - Female) - CAPTAIN
Position: Midfielder (CM/CAM) | Age: 32 | Debut: vs.

Khytenna (Pre-WC60 Friendly)
Club:

La Nueva Avenida | League:

FARF Freitball Ligá
International Caps: 242 | Assists: 98 | Goals: 59
The current captain of the Equestrian States national team and twin sister of veteran defender Flitter, Cloudchaser is seen as the Ponies' leader on the pitch and is as popular among her teammates as she is among Equestrian supporters. Unselfish and boasting pinpoint accuracy with her passes, Cloudchaser rarely fails to create chances for the Equestrian attackers and is among the Ponies' all-time assists leaders. On corners, Cloudchaser is a top target for the Ponies as her aerial supremacy combined with excellent control of her headers makes the pegasus mare an extremely potent threat that opponents cannot afford to ignore.

#5 - Apple Cobbler (Earth Pony - Female)
Position: Midfielder (CAM/RM/CM) | Age: 22 | Debut: vs.

United Gordonopia (VIII Olympiad)
Club:

Jungle Strike FC | League:

V-League Stellar Division
International Caps: 73 | Assists: 17 | Goals: 10
First appearing for the senior team when she was just 16 years-old, Apple Cobbler became the youngest Equestrian full international during the VIII Summer Olympics and has long been hailed as the future of the Equestrian midfield. At the club level, Apple Cobbler has spent her entire professional career with world-famous Vilitan powerhouse Jungle Strike FC, where her talents have been nurtured and given the opportunity to thrive. Though at her best when playing in a central attacking role, Apple Cobbler tends to be used more on the right wing by Pearly White in the Ponies' setup and has done well adapting to the position.

#11 - Krystal (Unicorn - Female)
Position: Midfielder (CM/LM/CAM) | Age: 27 | Debut: vs.

Manetreal (Equestria Cup 4)
Club:

Fligsive FC | League:

LigAnaia Division One
International Caps: 97 | Assists: 24 | Goals: 14
Another member of the Di Bradini Cup-winning Little Ponies team, Krystal has played alongside Rainbow Blitz in the Equestrian midfield throughout her international career and is another quick-moving threat for Pearly White to wield against opposing midfields. Krystal is perhaps the best Equestrian player when it comes to controlling the ball and can effortlessly zip up the pitch if given any space by defenders. However, her small stature (even among fellow ponies) and slender build puts her at a disadvantage on headers, and is thus often is tipped to deliver corners.

#17 - Rosie Tyler (Human - Female)
Position: Midfielder (CM/DM/LM) | Age: 24 | Debut: vs.

Colombian Britannia (Pre-WC66 Friendly)
Club:

Urbanista | League:

Apox National League
International Caps: 53 | Assists: 9 | Goals: 10
After moving to new club seemingly every season in her first few years as a professional, Rosie Tyler appears to have finally settled down at Urbanista in the prestigious Apox National League, Equestrian fans hoping her newly-found stability will enable her to focus on honing her already impressive talents. A versatile midfielder who can thread passes to her teammates from any range, Tyler plays a major role in the Ponies' counterattacks, quickly distributing the ball and moving it up the pitch. Rosie Tyler has also been a popular choice for taking Equestrian set pieces lately, adding yet another tool to her personal arsenal of skills.

#14 - Stardust (Pegasus - Female)
Position: Midfielder (RM/CM/CAM) | Age: 27 | Debut: vs.

Blouman Empire (WC63 Qualifying)
Club:

Blau-Weiss Pallstadt | League:

Buyanese Top Division
International Caps: 92 | Assists: 20 | Goals: 9
Largely overshadowed by the successes of Rainbow Blitz and Krystal after the 27th Di Bradini Cup, Stardust has seen her career revived after moving to Blau-Weiss Pallstadt after underwhelming spells with Umber Lumber of Falcus and Iskara Daii of Starblaydia. An extremely fast sprinter, Stardust is most lethal on counterattacks and must be tightly-marked by defenders to prevent her from making perfectly-timed runs that can leave her with the field wide open before her.

#4 - Apple Jack (Earth Pony - Male)
Position: Midfielder (DM/CM) | Age: 33 | Debut: vs.

Antoletia (WC60 Qualifying)
Club:

Mardi Lopunnies | League:

Sunrisian Championship
International Caps: 214 | Assists: 45 | Goals: 20
The oldest player currently on the Equestrian States national team, Apple Jack is a battle-hardened veteran of ten World Cup campaigns, though he's recently lost his starting job and likely only has one or two more years at the international level. A physical defensive-midfielder who's not afraid to rough up opposing strikers and midfielders, Apple Jack could have been a center-back had he wanted to play on the back line as he certainly has the build for it. The tallest and physically strongest player on the team, Apple Jack will likely come off the bench to make most of his appearances this campaign as a late-game sub brought in to protect a lead. (Retiring from International Hoofball after WC72)

#15 - Elaine Everdeen (Human - Female)
Position: Midfielder (CAM/LM) | Age: 28 | Debut: vs.

The Inevitable Syndicate (WC65 Qualifying)
Club:

Granger Dragonites | League:

Sunrisian Championship
International Caps: 68 | Assists: 9 | Goals: 6
The younger sister of former Ponies' striker Katherine Everdeen, Elaine is a talented midfielder entering her prime who has found success with Sunrisian club Granger Dragonites. Graceful and agile, the younger Everdeen sister can race up and down the pitch at an impressive clip even compared to her speedy equine teammates. Though her endurance isn't as impressive, Elaine Everdeen shouldn't be underestimated by her opponents and is often used as a substitute against weary opponents to give the Equestrians that final attacking boost whenever a goal is needed.

#16 - Luminesce (Unicorn - Female)
Position: Midfielder (CM/LM) | Age: 20 | Debut: vs.

Bears Armed (Equine-Ursine Cup 12)
Club:

Cloudsdale Flyers | League:

United League
International Caps: 22 | Assists: 3 | Goals: 2

Forwards

#10 - Pristina Shine (Unicorn - Female)
Position: Forward (ST) | Age: 26 | Debut: vs.

Footballand (VIII Olympiad)
Club:

Red Star Severny | League:

FPIFA Divisjon One
International Caps: 86 | Assists: 15 | Goals: 59
Though some still debate whether or not Pristina Shine is truly a world-class striker, there's no arguing that she isn't well on her way to becoming one. Signed by world-famous Iturributa United as a teenager, Pristina Shine was immediately thrust into the spotlight and regularly started for the club, finishing third in the league in scoring in her first season. Over the next few years, the young forward's profile continued to soar as she seamlessly transitioned from the Equestrian league to the higher-profile Iturributan Premiership. When Iturributa fell to the invading Astograthians, Pristina Shine followed her Polarian manager to Divisjon One's Red Star Severny, where she again established herself as a rising superstar, finishing among the prestigious league's top scorers and claiming her second Young Player of the Year award. Over the past couple seasons, Pristina Shine has been a major factor in her club's ascension towards the top of Divisjon One as the once mid-table club now routinely contends for a spot in the Champions' Cup. With the international retirement of legendary Equestrian striker Fire Dash, Pristina Shine has taken the former captain's spot as the Ponies' primary scoring threat and opponents will need to be wary of her lightning-quick speed and lethal ability to finish.

#6 - Wither (Bat Pony - Female)
Position: Forward (ST) | Age: 28 | Debut: vs.

The Pazhujeb Islands (WC63 Qualifying)
Club:

Soldarian FC | League:

Elven Premier League
International Caps: 52 | Assists: 7 | Goals: 24
Widely viewed as the most under-appreciated Equestrian striker, Wither's abilities and scoring record would suggest that she's a regular starter for the Ponies, but she has often been overlooked in favor of the more-established stars. Though Wither's playing time has increased dramatically under Pearly White, she's still considered a second option behind Thunderlane in the roster. A star for the historic Vanorian club Soldarian FC, Wither has established herself as a solid player in one of the multiverse's most famous leagues that is seen as rather selective when it comes to purchasing foreign stars. Despite her role with the national team, Wither is a determined athlete who never backs down from challenge and who likely will take over Thunderlane's position in the Ponies' depth chart as the pegasus nears the end of his international career.

#7 - Thunderlane (Pegasus - Male)
Position: Forward (ST) | Age: 32 | Debut: vs.

Waspeaters (WC60 Qualifying)
Club:

Makosile United | League:

V-League Stellar Division
International Caps: 211 | Assists: 35 | Goals: 79
While not the most imposing member of the Ponies' attack, Thunderlane's value to the team lies primarily in his versatility. A talented passer and extremely dangerous long-distance accuracy, the pegasus is often overlooked by opponents as Pristina Shine and Rainbow Blitz are seen as more immediate threats. When not appropriately defended, Thunderlane can deliver a hammer blow to opposing teams with one well-placed shot that might appear seemingly out of nowhere. The longtime "other" Equestrian striker, first behind Fire Dash, now behind Pristina Shine, Thunderlane may not get the same attention as his teammates, but his relentless determination has often inspired late comebacks by the Ponies when called upon. When Thunderlane is playing his best, the Equestrian States can be extremely difficult to beat. (Retiring from International Hoofball after WC72)

#23 - Sonar (Bat Pony - Male)
Position: Forward (ST/LW) | Age: 28 | Debut: vs.

The Scandinavian Islands (WC62 Qualifying)
Club:

Ponyville United | League:

United League
International Caps: 72 | Assists: 9 | Goals: 31
The first of many bat ponies to appear on the Ponies' roster, Sonar has been a regular for the Equestrian national team since he made his debut, though his role in the depth chart has been far from consistent. Generally used as a "super sub", Sonar's endurance isn't nearly as good as others on the team but is still nothing to scoff at, especially since his speed is almost unrivaled. Often appearing late in matches, Sonar can provide the Ponies with the final boost to overcome a tough opponent or put the final nail in the coffin of a lesser team.

Coaches & Staff

Manager -

Pearly White (Earth Pony - Female) - 45
Appointed interim manager of the national team by the Hoofball Association following the resignation of Twilight Striker - the Ponies' long-time boss of some 12 World Cup campaigns - Pearly White secured the position on a permanent basis with a number of impressive performances against higher-ranked opposition in her first games at the helm, including a stunning upset of then-defending world champions Vilita in the 3rd Cup of Champions. Since then, Pearly White has done nothing to give her employers any doubts that she's the best pony for the job, leading the Equestrian States on a Runner Cup title run without dropping a single point and reaching the 4th Cup of Champions semifinals before capping it all off with a second round appearance at the World Cup finals. However, it remains to be seen how well Pearly White will handle the longer gauntlet of a qualifying campaign and whether she's capable of guiding the Ponies past (or around) the final playoff hurdle which has long been the bane of the Equestrian team and their supporters.

Assistant Manager -

Dreamy Skies (Pegasus - Female) - 41
Not very long ago, Dreamy Skies was a rookie manager taking the reins of Second League club Whitetail Foresters. Her arrival had a near-instant impact on the club's fortunes as they were promoted to the United League the following season and now regularly contend for UICA berths, an incredible improvement in such a short period of time for a team once known largely for producing talent which was then poached by bigger clubs, at the Foresters' expense. When Pearly White first took charge of the Equestrian senior team, she managed to convince the HA that the still-young pegasus would be a strong addition to the Ponies' coaching staff, and thus far it has paid-off spectacularly. Players routinely praise Dreamy Skies for her enthusiastic optimism and superb work ethic which makes her a popular figure in the locker room and on the practice field.

Assistant Manager -

Lunar Dusk (Bat Pony - Female) - 41
The newest addition to the national team staff is Lunar Dusk, somepony few Equestrian hoofball fans were aware of just a three years ago but is today one of the best-known coaching talents in the Pony Lands. Like Dreamy Skies, Lunar Dusk's managerial career started in the second tier with Crystal Fair HC, a previously unremarkable side from the Crystal Empire which she transformed into a legitimate force within a few seasons thanks to a focus on quickly developing the Grounders' budding young stars into hoofballers capable of hanging with the best. After shattering numerous Second League records and earning promotion, Crystal Fair survived a relegation battle in their first ever United League campaign, broke into the top half the following season, and last year defied all expectations to come within a tiebreaker playoff of ending Crystopolis City's previously unchallenged monopoly on the Crystal Empire's Champions' Cup berth. With Lunar Dusk's undeniable talent for inspiring young players alone makes her a valuable addition to the staff, but her brilliant tactical mind makes her appointment by Pearly White a no-brainer.

Goalkeeping Coach -

Fire Blossom (Unicorn - Male) - 50
Responsible for training the Ponies' goalkeepers is Fire Blossom, whose exploits as a keeper in the old Equestrian Premier League earned him much respect amongst early Equestrian hoofball fans and eventually a job with the national team. During the World Cup 61 qualifying campaign, Fire Blossom's early doubts regarding Mac Stevenson's ability to replace High Soarin' after the veteran keeper was injured were justified as Stevenson's selection and ultimate failures led to the Equestrians falling just short of the playoffs after coming within an Astograthian extra time strike of qualifying from one the previous year. Furthermore, Fire Blossom's prophetic praise of a teenage prospect named Gentle Breeze and his subsequent push for her initial selection to the senior team for World Cup 62 qualifying have since earned him a reputation as a natural judge of potential, not to mention a considerable amount of credit for Gentle Breeze's many successes.

Scout -

Diamond Star (Unicorn - Female) - 48
Originally chief scout under Twilight Striker with the Canterlot Royals, Diamond Star was later hired for the national team by the Royals' and Ponies' manager to help identify young Equestrian players with international potential, and the unicorn scout did not fail in her task. Among the current national team stars first scouted by Diamond Star are Thunderlane, Cloudchaser, Rainbow Blitz, and Pristina Shine. Now the manager of Stalliongrad HC, Diamond Star has seen her national team role diminished, though she still provides valuable advice to Pearly White regarding her observations of potential internationals within the United League.

Scout -

Golden Hooves (Earth Pony - Female) - 59
A veteran member of the Equestrian States staff, Golden Hooves has been around the national team for what seems like forever, her longevity speaking to her performance as a reliable scout. While fellow Ponies scout Diamond Star's focus lies primarily upon United League players and her evaluation of their potential with regards to the senior team, Golden Hooves is responsible mostly for scouting Equestrians on foreign clubs and assessing the Ponies' opponents and how their players compare with those available to the Ponies.

Fitness Coach -

Craig Jackson (Human - Male) - 48
Hired in the midst of the injury plague which characterized the Ponies' World Cup 63 qualifying campaign, Craig Jackson was the first human member of the Ponies' staff and has done well to keep Equestrian players' injuries minimal in the years since then. While fitness coaches generally don't get much respect or attention from the press, Jackson's gift for keeping players of various biologically-diverse species in near-perfect health throughout grueling tournament schedules which can push them above and beyond their limits is certainly nothing to be dismissed as trivial.

The Ponies' most-used formation is the slightly modified 3-5-2, preferred by former manager Twilight Striker because of the strength and dominance of the Equestrian midfielders. Thanks to the versatility of the Equestrian States' players, the formation gives the Ponies the ability to shift quickly from the offense to the defense and vice-versa. More recently, however, the Equestrians have begun to shy away from the 3-5-2 in favor of the 4-2-3-1 in order to strengthen the back line and keep their opponents guessing. Aside from the formations themselves, the Equestrians have a number of definitive strengths and weaknesses.

First, the Ponies are among the world's fastest and most durable teams, using their natural advantages to tire out opponents. With those two traits as the defining characteristics of the Equestrian style of play, the squad excels at producing chances in the latter stages of the match. But while the attack dominates the second half, opposing squads have occasionally found success going all-out at the start of the match in an attempt to build an insurmountable lead.

Another area in which the Equestrian States has traditionally dominated is in the aerial battles for headers. While the Ponies are generally shorter than their opponents, the team is often credited with impressive leaping abilities (particularly among the pegasai players). Controlling headers makes the team lethal on corner kicks, and opponents looking to defeat the Equestrians must limit the number conceded to the Ponies or else face a barrage of dangerous short-range shots from the Ponies' attackers.

On Species and Equestrian Hoofball
The Equestrian States is a nation of incredible diversity. When many countries make this kind of statement, they are referring only to racial matters dealing with differences in skin color or culture. But the Equestrian States takes diversity to a whole new level, with dozens of sapient species living alongside each other in harmony. From pegasai to griffons, and humans to dragons, the Equestrian States is among the most diverse nations known to exist. But diversity has also had a unique and intriguing impact on the playing of sports in the Equestrian States, and hoofball is no exception. In the following paragraphs, the natural strengths, weaknesses, and tendencies of each prominent species in the Equestrian States will be explored, offering those unfamiliar with the Equestrian States a chance to explore the wonderful diversity that makes the Equestrian States a great country and gives our beloved national hoofball team a versatility that few others can hope to match.
