AZREAN NATIONAL TEAM - RUNNER CUP 7

Roster

The team sent for this Runners Cup is missing several notable talents with the most notable being Cameron Burnett, Tbver Dohake, Anthony Anderson, to go along with important defenders. These players will be rested and ready to go for the upcoming Campeonato Esportiva.

A more younger roster was submitted by the AFF to give them potential future roles with the NT in the future. All eyes will be upon Jacob Wells of course who plays his club football for giants Ramusok United in Cosumar. He hasn't been able to crack their starting 11 but with a strong performance against international rosters might help improve this. Johnathan Campbell is a rather unknown figure to Azrean eyes but he had a strong campaign in last seasons APL. He led Chapeco with 14 assists which put him second across the league. If he has enough to be placed over longtime national team member Chris Wallace is something the media will keep their eyes on. Jay Thomas has his first moments with the national side after a good season with Avonside. The attacking midfielder had a 10 goal and 8 assist performance in his debut season which was good enough in the eyes of the Azrean coach to select him. A versatile player like him is crucial to the success of the Azrean team in how far they go in this tournament.

Finally at the age of 25 after two good seasons he was offered a two year contract by Bull F.C but he rejected it saying he likes the minor leagues friendly environment better and nothing could change that.

2- Johnson Alexander Brooks [Strickland F.C]
Height: 5’10 - Weight: 155 lbs - Age: 33 - Starter

He played one year for his high school then graduated.

It was no surprise to soccer critics when the #1 defender in the country was picked for the national team, making him the oldest member of the team too.

After graduation he was finally recruited by a major league team which was his hometowns Astro F.C. on a four year contract, before being signed on a two year loan to Ranger F.C. in Oisinistan.

Alvarez seems to know when to attack another player for the ball or play more cautiously, Making it hard for players to get past him.

In his second season his team made it to the finals. Benton played admirably till the last ten minutes when he made the mistake of passing the ball to player on the other team, resulting in a 1-0 loss. Benton is the second youngest player on the team behind Adams.

Benton many strengths is is quick agility and his ability to focus on multiple points of the penalty box at one time, It is also not uncommon to see him quickly slide tackle without fouling.

Takishima short size make him quick and agile and he is usually on the attack, This has its setbacks sense he sometimes strayed too far from his position as center back and goes to the mid field. He also suffers from anger problems which he tries to control.

In January of 2016 he resigned with the club on another two year contract.

Martin is a quick Right Fullback and he is not afraid to challenge an opponent for the ball, Although this can backfire if his opponent is good at crossing but his speed makes up for any lost ground.

National Anthem (Tune)

We are a band of brothers and sisters native to the soil
Fighting for our liberty with treasure, blood, and toil
And when our rights were threatened, the cry rose near and far
Hurrah for the Lilly White Flag that bears a single star!

Hurrah! Hurrah!
For Island rights, hurrah!
Hurrah for the Lilly White Flag that bears a single star.

As long as the Federation was faithful to her trust
Like friends and like brethren, kind were we, and just
But now, when Northern treachery attempts our rights to mar
We hoist on high the Lilly White Flag that bears a single star.

Hurrah! Hurrah!
For Island rights, hurrah!
Hurrah for the Lilly White Flag that bears a single star.

First gallant Abelino nobly made his stand
Then came the People who took him by his hand
Next, quickly the Multiverse came to our aid
All raised on high the Lilly White Flag that bears a single star.

Hurrah! Hurrah!
For Island rights, hurrah!
Hurrah for the Lilly White Flag that bears a single star.

All men of valor gather round the banner of the right
Rise on up and join us in the fight
May our beloved President a true statemen alway be
Now rally round the Lilly White Flag that bears a single star.

Hurrah! Hurrah!
For Island rights, hurrah!
Hurrah for the Lilly White Flag that bears a single star.

Then here's to our Republic, strong we are and brave,
Like patriots of old we'll fight, our freedom to save;
And rather than submit to tyranny, to die we would prefer,
So cheer for the Lilly White Flag that bears a single star.

Hurrah! Hurrah!
For Island rights, hurrah!
Hurrah for the Lilly White Flag that bears a single star.

PAPUTIAN SPORTS GAZETTE

BORING PARADISE-PAPUTU 1-1
The first match in the Runner Cup has been positive for Paputu. Against an opponent favored by odds the paputian team has played a good football, without locking itself in defense and maneuvering the ball well. In the first half, however, Boring Paradise found the way to score, thanks to a free kick.
But in the second half , at the 52', Mawerta, exploiting poor defensive work from Paradise Boring, served a fine touch for Filler that, with a shot from just outside the area, beated the goalkeeper, scoring the final 1-1. The remaining part of the match was very boring however, as both teams tried to score without uncovering too much, but they've never been able to really scare their opponents.

Line-Up: Edmonton, Rigg, Matten, Potoremara, Kali, Jones (65' Nay-Liter), Mawerta, Kawaturupuro, Bartlow (78' Lidgerwood), McKortney (80' Takela), Filler

Scorer: Filler 52'

Polkopia 3-1 Mattijana

Mattijana marked their first Runner Cup game with defeat as they eventually succumbed to their much more highly ranked opponents, Polkopia.
The Mattijanan team were able to hold out at 1-1 for the majority of the game, but ran out of steam in the closing stages and conceded two quick goals in the final 10 minutes of the match.

Things didn't get off to the best of starts as a slip in the defensive third by Andreas Srna in the 11th minute enabled one of the Polkopian Strikers to get a shot away from the edge of the box which was drilled hard into the bottom corner past the dive of Handanović, who couldn't have done anything about it.
Polkopia pressed for a second goal in the next 5 minutes, but the Mattijanan defence weathered the storm and started to keep hold of the ball for longer spells. A first chance came as Sophia Velezia picked up a deflected cross on the edge of the box, but had a shot well saved by the Polkopian goalkeeper.

They did make the breakthrough in the 25th minute however, when a deep corner was unconvincingly flapped at by the Polkopian keeper, driven back in by Katija Makarova, and finally bundled in to the empty net by Srna having deflected off a defender and been blocked off the line. The ball fell perfectly to him in some space and he hacked it into the far corner of the goal.
It was scrappy, but that didn't seem to make much of a difference to the surprised celebrations of the team and supporters.

The closing stages of the first half were fairly even, but Polkopia began to pile on the pressure after the break, closing down quickly and forcing some loose clearances and passes from the Mattijanan midfield. That meant that Polkopia dominated possesion. Having said that, there was little cutting edge and the inch-perfect balls and quick passing that would have troubled the back line remained largely absent. On the few occasions when they did manage to get in behind, they were denied by a committed back four who made the neccesary tackles, blocks and clearances when needed.

Mattijana were also abke to use the counter attack effectively and created a few chances, the best of which was when Dominik Tadić curled just wide having made some space for himself with a neat turn inside the box.

However, the effort required for the defensive duties began to take it's toll and a low ball into the box for Polkopia was only half cleared before a shot from the edge of the box forced a good flying save from Mattias Handanović. The resulting corner was flicked on at the near post, looped over Handanović, and was volleyed home at the back post by a lurking midfielder.

Mattijana pushed for an equaliser in the next five minutes, but missed the best chance when Velezia fired a hard ahot from the centre of the box into a saveable position. straight from the throw, Mattijana conceded a third time as the Polkopian striker burst through, rounded Handanović and rolled a shot into the back of the net.

What? What is this Runner Cup? And why are we in the Semis?

The Runner Cup is for nations who didn't qualify for the World Cup, which we almost never do, or the Cup of Harmony. This means this is the lowest of the lowest tournaments, in a good way. The Runner Cup helps nations, who wasn't successful in football, to aspire them to become the football leaders that they know they can be. The Runner Cup is also another way of saying, "Thank-you, so much! And here is your participation badge." Winning the Runner Cup could be good for Britonisea, though. It could show that, like the current Olympics qualifiers, we can do it, we can aspire to be great! However, for some reason, none of the Runner Cup matches were televised in the country, as it was expected that we wouldn't do well. With BVC worrying about upcoming music festivals, BITC worrying about the workload of broadcasting the Olympics, and other channels worrying about Big Brother and Dancing on Ice, everyone put the Runner Cup at the bottom of the list.

We qualified in a very strange way. We only won once in our group (Group D with the hosts - Falatulu, HUElavia and Platerdam) alongside Platerdam and HUElavia, but thanks to Goal Difference, we managed to pip everyone else to qualify out of Group D to play New Dukaine in the quarter finals. New Dukaine? They won their Group (Group C with Starblaydia, Kingdom of Corelia and West-East Timor) and it was almost certain that they would beat us in the quarters. Miraculously, we beat them (thanks to penalty shoot-outs). We are not versing United States of Devonta who aren't new to us. If we beat them, we will go to the final of an international sporting event. Something that hasn't happened before, even though Britonisea has a mediocre sporting history.

Let's not get ahead of ourselves, but if Polkopia wins their match between both Falatulu and Starblaydia, and if we win against US of Devonta, it'll be good rivalry again! Cheers.

PAPUTIAN SPORTS GAZETTE

A DISAPPOINTING PAPUTU FAILS TO PASS THE GROUP PHASE IN THE RUNNER CUP
Very disappointing. With this term we can resume the perfomances of Paputu in the Runner Cup. Losing 1-0 against Tobiasia has showed to paputians that the team has a lot of work to do, and also the 0-0 in the third game is a symptom of a mediocrity that Paputu must exceed in order to become a good football team. It must be recognized to the coach Landweeg the fact that he has arranged excellently the defense. But now the problem seems to be the attack. Disappointing performance by McKortney and Takela, but also poor support provided by a midfield that seems to have in Kawaturupuro and Jones obstacles and not strenghts. Changes are needed to try to achieve better results in the next matches. For its part, Landweeg seems very confident as he saidthat he wanted to continue on his way, secure about the trust of the federation in him.
