The Silberberg Herald

Quaziran Team Qualifies for the 15th Edition of the Handball World Cup: [/align]

City of Silberberg,
" THIS IS MADNESS !" The voice of coach Gunter Sverinson was hardly audible yet this sentence was probably the most quoted one trough Social Media Channels and several TV Broadcasts. Quaziran had done the unthinkable, 6 months before a civil war has raged trough the country now the Flag of Quazira will set between notarious sport nations like the Royal Kingdom of Quebec and San Llera.
The hall had erupted in cheers everytime the home team got into the lead driving the team to 34:29 victory, negating the 26:27 defeat of last week.
It was impossible to hear the own voice but nobody cares, estimation about the noise level ranges towards 125 db, medical help was not needed to our knowledge.
On a PK this morning a crapulent Sverinson confirmed that there will be no changes into the rooster. " Never change a running system." While the team is regarded as inexperienced the team yesterday showed that experience is not the only factor who matters.
Just for everyone who don't follow our Sport Column here's the rooster for the Quaziran National Team (starters in bold).

DEMOCRATIC REPUBLIC OF ABANHFLEFT
NATIONAL HANDBALL TEAM

This is the second time that Abanhfleft will be participating in an international handball tournament. Handball is quite an obscure sport in the Democratic Republic, with no professional league established, and the handball department in the Commission on Sports and Games is occupied only by two men working out of a plastic table. But no matter about its obscurity within the country itself. Handball has got a few lifelong and die-hard practitioners scattered throughout the country, and the Commission has managed to get hold of all fourteen of them, along with a handball coach to lead them, and they are now about to embark on a journey to claim some honor for both their sport and their country once again.

BASIC INFORMATION
Name of nation: Democratic Republic of Abanhfleft
Demonym: Fleftic
Team colors: Blue, orange, and green
Style modifier (if applicable): +2.0
Head coach: Michael Ellers (38 y/o, Abanhfleft)

RB: Alfonso Imler (25 y/o, male)

Note that there is some flexibility between positions - Fonseca, Serafim, Garcia, and Silva, while nominally on the defensive end, have been known to score many goals for the Costenho teams. And Barros is perfectly capable of defending. Also, since the lineup can change so rapidly and there may not be opposing players of the same type (i.e. no right backcourt with a left backcourt), so many of the players are familiar with other positions as well.

Anticipated Lineups:
Starting Lineup: Magalhães - Garcia - Fonseca - Serafim - Costa - de Santigo - Barros
Defensive Lineup: Magalhães - Garcia - Silva - Fonseca - Serafim - Ferreira - Barros
Offensive Lineup: Magalhães - Fonseca - Serafim - de Santigo - Costa - Guerra - Barros

by **Rejistania** » Mon Jan 04, 2016 7:12 pm

Samislasnis Lte-Kvin stepped out of the plane and immediately felt overwhelmed by the size of the airport and the city here. The city looked like he imagined KaMaRi kali to look, just more... more focused, probably. This city was purely focussed on commerce, on buying, selling, consuming, When he followed the rest of the team to the bus and eventually to the hotel, he felt out of place, just a small-town boy in a city a huge deal too big for him. Heck, even Stikan kali had been oppressively huge and it barely had 50'000 inhabitants. Now, this place, it was something else. It was something he didn't belong into.

"Hey, Samisxanra! Looking overwhelmed!" Kansu Jieruk remarked. Samisxandra being his attempt to mix Samislasnis and Cassandra. He was KaMaRite, of course he knew huge cities and for him, the Strip probably looked like a miniature version of the largest Rejistanian city. Being KaMaRian was also why he loved to give people nicknames: In huge city where you meet many people that probably is the only way to ever disambiguate between people. It was something that didn't really happen in his part of the country, especially since Selekens live in his village who consider shortening their name an insult as it indicates the plan the deities have for them. It was just a tiny thing, but for a shelteredly living person like him, it was a vast difference.

Samislasnis just nodded and looked away.

"A...i...je...rhan Samislasnis!" Si haltingly tried to speak his native language Anxak~hali. It meant "it's okay, Samislasnis!" as a linguistics student, Si love to be in the national team with a living, breathing Minority Language speaker. He tried to learn Anxak~hali and was surprisingly good at it. He was one of the few non native speakers who did not confuse -ajie and -aji~le.

"You're not the only one who is!" Ladi "Sosiya" Alexlama Syku admitted. While he was from the huge city of Leninkali, that place was infamous for its socialist austerity as such the hustle and bustle was shocking to him despite Leninkali being the larger and denser city of them.

Coach Jersi Isik nodded: "Yep, it's pretty impressive. Remember that you are absolutely not allowed to gable in the casinos! You sure know what happens once you start!"

"You're going to throw us out of the team!" Seli, a normally quiet person said. It was a phrase which Jersi had metaphorically drilled into their heads. Jersi hated gambling and tried to keep everyone in his sphere of influence from it.

"I definitely will!" he agreed. "I have zero tolerance towards it! Good people will always lose when they gamble!"

Players glanced at each other. They knew that this was a hot button issue for him but had no idea why, no one dared to question this however. Instead Ntena, a team mate of Samislasnis, but who worked in Ltianhama kali changed the topic. "Anyone knows whether there are any decent S2 capable ISPs around here?"

Kansu Jieran laughed: "You only get S2 in your village? This is not some tine place far away. This is a civilized area, and you don't get civilization under 4 MBps!"

Ntena made a disappointed sound: "We don't get S2 in Ariari, S6 mostly. But I do get it in Ltianhama. One friend even gets S0 speeds."

Sarxa grinned: "No one but us Rejistanis has mastered the art of getting so much through a narrowband line. Mostly because others don't have to. So, what I am sure Kanji wanted to say is that Red Blackiland uses broadband connections. The fact that Rejistania is still deep in the narrowband era is because of the very fragmented ISP landscape. Margins are just too narrow to roll out fiber everywhere. Some areas do have it, mostly commercial ones, but most of the country is in a stone age full of despair and narrowband hacks called the S standard. Now, most other countries have just a few ISPs, and so they can afford to upgrade their infrastructure more easily as competition isn't quite as deadly over there. I'm a sysadmin, I know that stuff."

"Wow!" some people sounded impressed.

Jersi stoo up as soon as the bus came to a halt. "Okay, everyone! Please make sure not to storm the hotel like a group of Isesi hooligans after Aetaila secured a spot in the 1st league again! We have the shreds of a reputation to defend!"

As soon as the doors opened, the Orange-Blues entered the hotel, they were the chaotic bunch the coach asked them not to be. Eventually, however, all seemed settled. Jersi was in his room and took the first sip from his flask, Suddenly he heard a knock on the door. "Who's there?" he asked tiredly, jetlaggedly.

"Me, Ntena!" the voice said.

Jersi opened the door. "What brings you here?"

"Samislasnis! He gets vertigo in his room. He asks whether you can ask the hotel staff to give him a lower room."

"But... doesn't he already have the lowest one of us?"

"He does... third floor. You know what I mean?"

"No!" Jersi stated flatly.

"Yes, he never been that high up."

"No way!" Jersi insisted.

"Yes way!" Ntena replied.

Jersi hid his face in his hands. "Why have I decided to do this job again?"

"Glory of victory and adoration of the people?" Ntena asked sarcastically.

He just nodded.

Kernansquillec return to the lucky lands of Red Blackiland
It was two years ago when a bunch of spirited amateurs departed the shores of Kernansquillec to compete in their first Handball World Cup. For quite a few of them it was the first time they had ever left Kernansquillec and was certainly the first time any of them were to come up against hardened professionals. But the difference in level between Kernansquillec and the other teams never really shone though. Under the leadership of captain Kelleigh Thomas and manager Alberta Haggard, the Professionals - the ironic nickname given to the team by their small hardcore following - pulled off what was seen as quite a surprise result with victory 18th seeds Patistan with a one point victory. That result was then followed up with the humiliation of fellow débutants Adoxinia by nine points. Now things were beginning to look interesting for the Green and Whites who now had a six point cushion above third place.

But all of that was supposed to change with a double headed against the group's top seeds and world number 2 Nassau-Hessen. Getting anything them was seen as impossible by almost all of the pundits. Yet, two matches later, Kernansquillec were undefeated. Having held on to their one-point lead in the first tie the Green and Whites then grabbed a last-gasp equaliser in the second tie. Now qualifying was looking less like a possibility but more as a given. A 28-21 win over Adoxinia sealed the Kernansquillecan's place in the knockouts with a final day victory of Patisan, this time by a comfortable 4 points, seeing the team finish as the sixth best group winner.

The draw for the Eight Finals looked cruel however. A bizarre situation meant that Kernansquillec had to face off with Nassau-Hessen for a third time. While some despaired over having to face the second seeds so early on, most had gained confidence from their previous two games against the blues. And by the end of the game, Kernansquillec were smilling, winning by two goals. An extremely difficult and tight affair against the host, Red Blackiland, would follow in the Quarter Finals. A 30-29 win would see the amateurs of Kernansquillec reach the World Cup semi-finals. Amazing hardly covered it.

A face off over the marmite team that is Gregoryisgodistan would await the Green handballers in the semis. A tight affair would follow and somehow the Professionals emerged victorious once again. An amateur team that had remained totally unbeaten since the group stages right up to the final of the Handball World Cup. The world of sport had rarely seen such a shock. The final against Costa de Ouro would, just like the two previous games, finish with just a goal in it. Unfortunately for the Kernansquillecans, that game would finish with the bitter taste of defeat. Still, it's not bad to only get your first ever World Cup defeat in the final itself.

Despite their amateurism, it actually turned out that the Kernansquillecan team had quite a bit of talent. The domestic league in Kernansquillec had just completed it's third season and is being dominated by two clubs, The Old Saints and New Saints AHC. Considered by most to be among the best domestic teams in the world at the moment, they make up the vast majority of the squad for the national side this year once again. A considerable number of the members from that first team remain, reinforced with some of the younger talents that have started to emerge in the Kernansquillecan league. Now ranked 9th in the world, the team will be hoping to go one step further this time around.

There's the Way, Where's the Will?, Part Seventeen

Matt Koppelberg had never seen the local volleyball center as packed as it was right now. Volleyball was never the most popular sport in Abanhfleft, at least as far as Matt was concerned, but he did know that it was one of the favorite sports of the native Fleftics, and since Riuwiee was one of their "homelands," it made sense that he was only now seeing how seriously the people of Riuwiee took their volleyball. It wasn't even an actual tournament, for God's sake! It was just a little friendly tournament between the locals and some visiting Estelarians who were looking to experience one of their favorite sports alongside the natives of the countries that they were visiting. Matt didn't know how his sister Smiley got herself involved in this kind of thing, but she had gotten herself involved, along with her actress friend Hillary, and now she had dragged him and their little brother Japheth into this game.

Matt and Japheth were sitting on the bench right now, as reserves for Smiley's team. Smiley herself was on the court right now, and as she fired a spike towards the Estelarians, Matt turned to his younger brother and asked him, "How exactly did Smiley get involved with these Estelarians?"

"Oh, you know what she does, big bro," Japheth replied. "She's a movie and TV star agent. Someone called her saying that these Estelarian volleyball aficionados were looking to make a documentary about volleyball in the different countries of the multiverse, and Hillary over there needed some money to pay some debts so she got herself involved in this in the hopes of getting a cut of the profit, if there ever will be some profit from this project."

"Oh, don't worry about the money, Japh," Matt said. "See, Smiley's got this Midas touch, just like me. Any and every project that she gets herself involved in turns a profit. Always. Haven't you been wondering how she was able to afford your big estate and your college education?"

"Well, I always assumed that she was selling drugs."

"You're such a joker, Japh. I like that about you." Matt then took a sip of Gatorade from a plastic squeeze bottle and watched as his team--he was part of the team, so by definition it was now his team--rallied back from a six-point deficit to level things. Matt watched intently as Hillary Landers made a dig to keep the ball in play, and his eyes moved along with the way Hillary's body moved on the court, even as she rolled to recover from her dig. "So, Hillary," Matt said to Japh. "Where did our sister pick her up?"

"I don't know, the corner of the street? I'm just messing with you, big bro," Japheth said. "I don't know where exactly Smiles picked up Hills, but I know that our sister picked up Hillary in the hopes of turning her into her protege, however that's supposed to happen. They both went into commercial modeling, then Smiley decides to up sticks and become an agent, and Hillary stayed in the bidness, and that's their professional relationship. Smiley represents Hillary, and both of them get rich. Except now we're getting rich along with them."

"Block 'em, Smiley, block them!" Hillary shouted to Smiley, and the only woman among the Koppelberg siblings leaped high into the air and blocked the path of the ball. However, in the process, Smiley landed in an awkward position. Specifically, she landed in a split, as in literally she landed with her legs split wide apart. The way that she shouted "Ouch!" told everyone in the court that there was something definitely wrong that went down when Smiley went down.

"Matt! Japhy! Help me out here, you bastards!" Smiley called out. The two male Koppelbergs and Hillary ran over to Smiley, who despite being completely hurt somehow still had the strength to shout.

"Oh, man, Smiley, you look hurt!" Matt observed.

"You think!?" Smiley demanded. "Come on and be a gentleman and help me up!"

"Do you think that's a good idea, Smiles?" Hillary asked. "It might be a bad idea to move you, especially if we don't know your injuries!"

"What are you talking about, Hil?" Smiley said. "My spine ain't broken! It's my muscles I'm worried about!"

"Speaking of, I think you tore your hamstring!" Hillary said.

"Tore my hamstring? I'm sure I tore my hymen!" Smiley retorted. "I thought sex tears up the hymen, but actually it was still intact for the eight years that I've been sexually active. At least, before this freak accident! Now get me up and take me to the hospital! No, not you, Hillary! You're our best libero, you have to stay! Japhy, you take me to the hospital! You're quite shit at volleyball. You're good at rugby, but not at volleyball. As for you, Matt, you have to take my place. I don't know your sports, but I remember you being good at volleyball. Please, brother, do me and your country proud!" she called out as Japheth carried her away.

"So, are you ready to play ball?" Hillary asked Matt.

"Erm, I don't know," he replied honestly.

Quazira 23 - 29 Abanhfleft

Bad start for Quazira, Haak with outstanding performance:

The Quazira Handball Association got more than just a blue eye. In front of 3000 Quaziran fans Abanhfleft got an easy victory.
12 000 Fans got a match on Eye-Hight for the first halftime Gabriel Torres scored 8 out of 14 goals leading to 14: 11 lead.
The national anthem was sung at the beginning of the second half time, supported by a 40 piece band on the tribunes.
However the joy was short leaved, a 2 Minute warning against Torres and Helmut Jansen half a minute later was enough to turn the tide to a 19:15 for Abanhfleft in Minute 40. After that the team didn't got the grip to turn the tide again.
Undoubtely man of the Match will be Abanhflefts Keeper Eugene Haak with a statistic of 89 % paried shoots towards his goal, stopping the Quaziran advance in the first halftime and securing the lead in the second one with his outstanding performance showing a mature personality.
With this defeat the game against Gregoryisgodistan is allready a all in. One more defeat and Quazira can pack their trunks.
