Before Cooper could start yet another season at his academy he was recruited and signed by Riverton F.C a team in the National League.

Nunez did go to the national training camp and managed to do the unthinkable and beat out many of the major league goalkeepers causing a massive upset.

Nunez is known for being cocky which makes him a very aggressive goal keeper sometimes even running at attacking strikers to get the ball, This sometimes backfires on him and they get past him, Although he catches many by surprise.

After graduation he was finally recruited by a major league team which was his hometowns Astro F.C. Soon after his recruitment into the football club he was invited to the national teams training camp. Alvarez successfully finished camp and was selected to play for the national team.

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. Despite being able to steal and retrieve the ball he sometimes manages to lose the ball in sloppy fast paced dribbles and does not have the best long passes, Although his speed makes up the distance usually.

Benton was driven to make it in the mens national team by his haunting mistake, That he did and as the second youngest player on the team.

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. Critics have noticed he has gotten more aggressive on the field since his mistake and only passes short precise passes. If there is one thing everyone knows, It is he wants to redeem himself.

Adams was invited to the national teams training camp and proudly accepted, It was no surprise when he was chose as a starting forward, Making him the youngest player on the national team.

Adams is a quick versatile Forward, Using his speed to make good crosses and get through defenders, His dribbling and control are also noted. Shooting seems almost basic to him.

His first year seen Astro F.C. make it to the quarter-finals. After receiving an invitation to the national teams training camp he accepted and barely made the national team.

Geithner is a slower paced forward and uses his ability to control the ball and dribble as his advantages, He tends to not work well in very fast paced games and is not good a defense. Geithner is good at getting players to foul him too.

23- Noah Lamont Hill [Strickland F.C.]
Height: 5’11 - Weight: 173 lbs - Age: 27 - Substitute

Today is truly a sad day for Kreotopia. Earlier today, Kreotopian President Edward Kreo was shot and killed by a sniper as Kreo went for his morning walk. An after he passed we received a call from the Kreotopian Soccer Team asking if they could each say something about the passed president. Along with this they will wear patches with Kreoś initials throughout the entirety of the UV Gold Cup 1 tournament. Here is a few of their responses.
Head Coach Justin Winberg: The President was a great man who truly cared for his people. He was amazing in person.
Assistant Coach Jefferey Hou: When I met the President I was struck by how nice and down to Earth he was.
Goalie Sam Renture: He was funny and he was so rustic if thatś the right word but I mean he really fought for equality between genders and social status. He truly got the message across by how he was as a person.

Devontan Sporting Times Interview with Daniel Kindred #6

Questions and Interview done by reporter Alejandro Gutierrez on 10/29/15.

Answered by Daniel Kindred #6 on the USDMNT.

The year of 2015 had been a long year for the Devontan team, a long year for the nation too. Three failed World Cup qualifying attempts in the 71st, 72nd, and 73rd world cups; the later two having disastrous results in the second leg of qualifying. A further insult to injury was the national teams failing to qualify for both Cup of Harmonys CoH) after whoing the world in their first CoH appearance, after World Cup 71. The two subsequent Runners Cups resulted in one trip to the quarterfinals.The only real bright spot for 2015 in Devontan soccer was a second and semi final finish in the Emperors Cup and Meski Cup. The United Valhaven Gold Cup is seen by the team and many soccer analyst as a way for the Devontans to finally put a win tournament win under their belts.

The refreshing wind blew across the trees and the faces of the interviewer and is interviewee Daniel Kindred as they walked through a Cubonlandian park, a center back defender for the Devontan national team. He was a large pale middle aged soccer player (middle aged for a soccer player), much larger then most professional soccer players in the world he stood at 6'4 and weighed over 223 pounds. This lean bearded Skandian native was not one to play around with on and outside the soccer field. Despite his size, many who met him knew he is a gentle giant till he gets into the game. The silence of the walk was cut short by a question from reporter Alejandro Gutierrez. The cameras rolled.

1. Q: "What are your thoughts on your teams performance in the most recent World Cup qualifying, which many called disastrous despite your teams early achievements in your group?"

A: "I have allot of thoughts on how we won and loss games in the qualifiers. Let's face it we lost some big games, many that we should of won like our second group games against New Gelderland and Witty Penguins. We overestimated many teams and frankly got too cocky after the first leg of qualifiers, which may I say we did pretty well in; even with a 4-0 loss to the Sancti in our first match. We played allot of determined teams and it seemed like they wanted it more then us. I highly admire the Fleftic and Sancti teams. They deserve much respect. Not to say that all teams of Group Eighteen don't deserve it. Overall it could of been better but we got put in a tough group and we made too many mistakes, but teams learn more through losses then wins. That what keeps me awake at night when we lose big games."

2. Q: "Do you think the up and coming friendly against Estenia will be good for the teams development?"

A: "Ahh yes! Every game against the Estenians is a blockbuster. Theirs other rivalries in the multiverse, but nothing quite like the rivalry we Devontans with the Estenians. The only other rivalry we have is with Flardania. It's unique and that's what makes it so exciting to us a fans of both nations. We've beat them and they've beat us, I think the defeat we always remember when facing them is the defeat at our first tourney, the Baptism of Fire. That 5-3 defeat knocked us out of the group stages, we use it as a battle cry to beat them every time we face them. This is only a friendly, but like every time we face them, both teams learn something important that will allow us to grow and develop as teams."

3. Q: "Where do you predict you and your fellow team members will go in this tourney, do you think possibly the finals?"

A: "I think the consensus is pretty high around the lockerroom.. I don't know how much of it is lockerroom talk but we feel where the best team in this cup. At least on paper we are, most experienced defiantly. Not one other team from United Valhaven has competed competitively on the world stage, we have. I think that factor right there will help us reach and win the finals, though we know the dangers of underestimating teams. We'll make sure to play our hardest each match day."

Full interview can be found on the official Devontan Sporting Times website.

The Federation of Kreotopia a well sized nation (though smaller then the United States of Devonta) of about 143 million citizens just recently united in 2015 under the leadership of the fallen President Edward Kreo, after Kreotopia was divided into seven city-states for the past century, sometimes even fighting one another for more control. Fallen President of Kreotopia, Edward Kreo would leave a shocked and mourning nation.

Many questions have been raised about the deceased presidents death, it has been reported from sources in the Kreotopian Secrete Service and new services that he was on his typical morning walk, which Edward Kreo; known for being a unifier and peoples president did without proper security, to the great dismay of the secrete service. At approximately 7:06 AM the leader was shot twice, once in the abdomen then the lower left arm by a unknown type of sniper rifle. He was then rushed to the emergency room, despite the hospital staffs best efforts he passed away shortly after at approximately 9:34 AM. The manhunt for the killer had begun around the time of the leader killing. The suspect or suspects are still at large and have not been identified, reports from Kreotopian police only suggest there to be one suspect.

Soon after at approximately 4:39 PM it was announced Prime Minister Derek Lyell was named new interim president, until emergency elections could be planned and held. Speaker of the Kreotopian Parliament, Don Sabatoro has been nominated interim Prime Minister in place of Interim President Derek Lyell. Popular Kreotopian parliamentary member Ike Foli succeeded new Interim Prime Minister Don Sabatoro as new Speaker of Parliament.

In a official press statement Devontan president Josiah Jones is quoted as saying "Great men like him only come far and in between, my peoples thoughts and prayers are with his family", he followed up with very strong words regarding the search for suspects saying, "On behalf of the Devontan people, we all hope the perpetrators of such a heinous and cowardly assassination are quickly brought to justice for their actions". The President would go even further, offering Devontan resources to help Kreotopian authorities in the capture of suspects responsible for the assassination of the fallen leader. Many other leaders of United Valhaven also gave statements and letters of condolences to President Edward Kreo's family members and the people of Kreotopia, some of these leaders included the leader of the Constitutional Dictatorship of Strag, Supreme Leader Alfred Loken and the Queen of the Federal Monarchy of Segennea, Eleanor Regnant. Further statements are to be expected.

President Edwards Kreo's deaths comes just a few days after the rumored high level closed door diplomatic talks regarding military economic treaties were conducted between the United States of Devonta and Kreotopia. Request for comments for both governments have gone unanswered. President Edward Kreo's death might bring any such talks into jeopardy or delay.

Regional soccer officials confirmed that the United Valhaven Gold Cup One will still played, despite the tragedy. In respect for the fallen president, Edward Kreo. It has been announced by the Kreotopian, Devontan, and Stragonian national teams that they will wear Edward Kreo's official ribbon on Matchday One, as a sign of honor and remembrance of the fallen Kreotopian leader.

Why do we call it a "assassination"? Let's tell the media to call it what it is.. A murder! Let's bring whoever did this to justice!

NLNBC live from the United States of Devonta, coming to you with a remarkable story tonight!

Coming up in just a minute, the story of a young man taking the United Valhaven Gold Cup by storm. But first, here's an update from our Regional Affairs Panel, with a recent story development.

A NLM CH-135 Twin Huey lands during a training operation in northern Neo-Libralis.

A Special Report from the NLNBC Panel of Regional Affairs

Tensions region-wide seem to be on the decline this morning, after a surprise announcement from the Ministry of Regional Affairs stating that the ruling made by the Supreme Court of United Valhaven was to be questioned by a Petition for Judgement Appeal. The ruling, which found Chancellor Wolfe guilty of abusing his powers under the RPSA, will be challenged on the grounds that it did not follow correct court procedures. Earlier this month when the ruling was announced, nothing more than a brief acceptance was released from government officials, despite the uproar from citizens across the country.

Across the country, large quantities military exercises are being reported, including live-fire drills and demonstrations in select locations. The government as assured the nation that they are just exercising a higher level of readiness for training purposes, and that these actions have no correlation to the ongoing regional arguments. Minister of Defense and Grand Admiral Ellia Strallos gave us this comment on the matter:

We live in a relatively peaceful time, and enjoy lives of relative stability. We mustn't take this lifestyle for granted, nor must we be so naive to think that we don't have enemies in this world. We want the citizens of Neo-Libralis and the world to know that we are more than prepared in the event that the unthinkable happens.

Immediately following the Ministry of Regional Affairs' announcement, governments from nations across the region released statements opposing the Petition, saying it's nothing more than a move to restore our nation's international reputation. This sentiment has sent Neo-Libralians into a political rage across the country, notably so across social media platforms. The following responses to our tweet asking, "What do you think of the MRA challenging the Supreme Court?"

Good on the Ministry. You'd think after years of dedication we'd get some respect.
-Abusername

Guys, what's that smell...?
I think... I think it's bull****.
-VelpointDude

It gives beyon enough reslect.
-Viceroy Everest

Now, back to NLNBC Sports, with Erin Rogers.

Stephen Rockland was not a household name - until this past weekend. The 19 year old boy from a small town even more north than Velpoint, if you can believe such a place exists, took the nation by storm these past few days, in his flawless goalkeeping score. Over three games, not one soccer ball made it past Stephen's Rock solid goalkeeping, a feat never seen before by Neo-Libralis in an international tournament. Of course, Neo-Libralis has never been to an international soccer tournament, but zero goals against in three games is still a very impressive feat. We were lucky enough to get an interview with this upcoming star athlete.

Here's our interview with Rockland:

Q: How are you feeling?
A: I'm feeling great! Nervous, definitely. Like, really nervous. But I've got a team to represent, and a job to do, so I try not to think too much and just do what I usually do out there.

Q: Does it change your mindset knowing that the country is so keenly watching you?
A: Yes. I mean, no. I don't know. When I'm out there, I really just forget that it's not a normal game. Sure, if I really thought about it, I'm sure it would make me slip up and stress, but I just gotta remind myself that I'm here to get a ball kicked at me, and stop it.

Q: What's the team dynamic like in the locker room?
A: I mean, the national soccer team has been around for what, a six months? We're always looking to prove ourselves to one another, and it creates a drive to push each other, which is great. I mean, we aren't always in sync, some of the guys haven't been around for more than two months, but the atmosphere is good, and we're all ambitious.

Q: If you had one thing to tell all those kids at home admiring you, what would you tell them?
A: I'd tell them to work hard. That's all it is. Work hard at what you want to do. If you don't know what you want to do, work hard at things until you find something you want to do, then work even harder at that. My motto is "The only easy day was yesterday."

Q: Thank you so much for talking to us today, Stephen.
A: Any time! As long as it's not game time.

Well, there you have it folks! The only easy day was yesterday, and man, does Rockland know how to make winning look easy. This is NLNBC's Erin Rogers, signing off.

Kreotopia's incredible run has stunned the nation. Combining power offense with great defense has gotten the team off to a 2-0 record. The team is rallying around the tragedy of Eward Kreo's assassination. Hopefully, the team will continue to win.
