Cup of Harmony 66 - Northern Sunrise/Red Blackiland

by **Northern Sunrise Islands** » Wed Mar 02, 2016 1:54 pm

NOTE: Only post in this thread if you're one of the two hosts or was one of the invited teams.

So, time passed and things didn't go really the best on the Qualifiers, right? You either don't feel like you put your best, didn't have the luck on the draw or scores were just unfair to you? Well, buckle up. It's not like the guys on the other tournament know what they're losing anyway. You, on the other hand, got an opportunity. An opportunity that doesn't pop up every time. Instead of playing at some frozen frostbites or a random Rushmori country, you earned a pretty nice ticket to the nicest places in the globe! That's right, you got a ticket to play at Northern Sunrise and Red Blackiland. And no, no refunds.

The Cup of Harmony has been a long running event where teams that were left out of the World Cup for god knows what reason have the chance to still display their craft, leave with some nice points on their ranks and maybe even a trophy or two. Hmmm-hmmm! And what better places to play such an event than the colourful states up on Esportiva, am I right? Sit back, relax... and then play the games because this isn't just a glorified vacation!

As you've noticed, this tournament had some obtuse numbers. We'll have a total of 9 groups: 2 with 5 teams and the other 7 with 4. Play-off qualifiers will be as this:
The leaders from the groups of 4 teams plus the best leader from the groups of 5 teams will be one side, while the other side will consist of the other 5-team group leader, both runner ups from the 5-team groups and the five best runner-ups from the 4-team groups. Cut-offs will be at 21:00, UTC -3:00.

Welcome to Northern Sunrise Islands! Yeah, you'll probably hear this a dozen of times if you're new to the Arceusian Republic of Northern Sunrise Islands, closest thing you'll find to a paradise on Esportiva, period. Northern Sunrise is known either as that or as the goofball of the region, what with its' Pokémons, weird teen-focused culture and some of the more... colorful groups.
Either way, the Arceusian Republic welcomes you to play for one of the multiverse's greatest tournaments. Hope you're ready to appreciate one of the nicest crowds around!

HISTORY
Northern Sunrise started out as the Sunrise Bay, a group of islands placed nowhere in particular, according to old historians. There's no true answer to why the islands had (and still have) heavy divergences, as islands had different colonials earlier on. Of note, there were the Kingdom of Maori (current state of Maori), the Kingdom of Mardi (current states of Mardi, Lynder and Ayeville) and the Tokyoto Empire (current state of Lorelei) who battled it out for decades before a botched Huelandian invasion on the early 1850s created the Kingdom of Carnival, who would then try to bring the states against the Huelandians. Threat solved, the Kingdoms would once again face each other until the same threat was revived by a new emperor at Huelandia. The Four Kingdoms, together with some other lesser islands created the Conference of the Sunrise Bay. Finally, the Kingdom of Mardi's leader Elise DuBeaux would join the comandant from the Republic of Charleston (nowadays state of Byrd) James Byrd to unify the islands under the name of Northern Sunrise Islands.
Nobody quite knew the reasoning behind the Northern part of the moniker sans a theory of Arceusianism that said of many Sunrise Islands on different dimensions eventually converging towards one same realm. The islands grew peacefully, preferring towards harmless expansion and war dodging when needed.
Current day Northern Sunrise Islands leads the Unified Sunrise Islands by default, having eighteen Colonies or Dependencies around the multiverse, with the Hakifao Isles as the one of most worth.

PEOPLE
Northern Sunrisians are known as a cheerful bunch. While the country itself hasn't suffered much, they grew up as people that prefer to help their comrades by default. Even though Sunrisians love to travel, they like their own place well enough. They're normally polite but quite talkative and will try to break the ice often. They're also pretty good with foreigners, always trying to make a good effort to represent their homeland well enough.
Keep on mind, however, that Sunrisians are a diverse bunch... to the point where some of them might have merged with their fauna. Halfmons are humans that have some trace of Pokémonship. There is no true known reasoning for such a thing to happen, though it is assumed it's thanks to their nature-filled life. Halfmons normally won't have severe traces of Pokémonship, however, normally limited to their ears or fingers and a power or two.
Nekojins are also a thing. These are humans with some feline features such as ears and a tail. They're tied in numbers to the Halfmons somehow.

SPORTS
Sports on Northern Sunrise are a bit busier than the usual. Northern Sunrise Islands tends to be the country with the most pro leagues around, from sports like tennis and cricket to the more usual football and ice hockey. Sunrisians are, in general, a sportive bunch and it's rare not to see them playing sports on (or even out of) parks.
The only unique sport in Northern Sunrise Islands is a sport known solely as Patinsball. A sport that combinates one of NSI's passions in skateboarding with the less popular roller hockey, the sport was invented also in the 70s and ever since had a league of sorts.
Football is still NSI's national sport, though the Vaporeons haven't played the World Cup for a while now (as they now play under the Unified Sunrise Islands name, together with other Sunrise Islands), but the team is still a feature on Esportivan regional tournaments.

LANGUAGE
Northern Sunrise Islands' main language is English, for it was decided as the easier one to use, hence any signs at all places of the country always having an English version (if not being straight away in English). Secondary to that, the country also has Portuguese, French and Japanese as major languages with Maori, Spanish, Sunricean and Italian being its' secondary languages.
Some of the colonies also have their own languages, but since the tournament was restricted play to the mainland, those aren't really relevant to talk about.

BEHAVIOR EXPECTED
Sunrisians aren't prohibitive people, however they expect decency from any team that plays inside their borders. Nations with questionable stances or points of view are suggested not to present them or keep them to an acceptable minimum under the threat of being fined.

Red Blackiland's biggest strength has to be the country's economy,symbolized to being the fastest-growing economy of the region, remaining a largely stable status thanks to its choice of your economy and valorization of your own people, with little bureaucracy and simplified laws regarding commerce, products and pretty much everything that regards the countries' economical frontiers, showing itself as an advanced country regarding the future and commerce, being a country of easy foreign investment. It's famous for its' strong and modern Armed Forces, its' large equipments and its' social projects at colonized countries and neighbors (not inside Esportiva); for its' technological industry who came across several discoveries to facilitate its' society's life, mainly the aged or ill; its' literary industry that certainly makes another step towards growth inside the industrial area and social culture in general and also for its' non-existent crime rates, a result of a strong constitution that tends to give heavy punishment towards criminals and a well-established police. Certainly not without its' beautiful sights, the tourism section wouldn't be as strong. Football-wise, Red Blackiland is a nearly devoted nation when it comes to football, known for its' fanaticism and creativity regarding football..Big part of Red Blackiland Territory has a humid tropical climate , reaching a hot temperatures during the day and warmer temperatures at night , in a stage of the end of the year , rains fall at night because the strong heat in the day.And a few states in South region of the country has a humid subtropical climate , without very cold temperatures but not too hot.Red Blackiland has a average of 669mm ( 29,9 in ) precipitation per year. There are small mountains in North part of the state has a altitude tropical climate , rains fall in summer with warmer temperatures in normal days and a temperature range of 6º C and 8º C.In winter , small frosts occur with frequency , become from cold fronts originally from ocean.A good and fast description is "Where the bright lights of good life quality blink 24 hours a day. A great place to go if you like advertising." All of that with a militarized atmosphere.Also the appresentation of communist symbol on public spaces in Red Blackiland is entirely outlawed,so it's only possible with permission by the justice,police and all administrative organs.

Redinxson,one of the cultural and commercial center of the nation and its the capital of Red Blackiland,have important headquarts on the city's territory like GEMIFO,GEHEBE and even Meski. If Redínxson residents could have it their way, the region would also be considered the epicenter of everything in the known universe.Is the largest borough and state of the country,with an estimated population of 30.000.000 divided into three parts that are : Central Redínxson,West Redínxson and East Redínxson (that two regions have your specific soccer clubs,for example),each of the three regions was independent from each other in 60s years,but after a small-medium internal and civil conflicts between these three Redínxson regions,these three regions decided that the best was split these three in only one big and major state,was founded the Unified State of Redínxson,or simply State of Redínxson.About climate,experiences a humid subtropical climate,about religion is totally constitued by non-religion individuals.
Redinxson,today,is the capital of Red Blackiland,substituing Blackberry more later.Have your foundation in the 13th century,was a one of the atheist/skepticism revolution cribs and the born of the growth of medieval empires that more later would turn into a nation,known for its leadership in technology and science,military affairs and equipments,high intelligence agencies and military technologic equipments facilities,music (specially classic music and rock),government,education,museums and nationalism and proud to be a Red Blackilandian.
As RB grow up more and more with time,Redinxson did it too,the leaders made it the center of culture and the arts, as well as the Army.Under the responsability from the first leader of the first medieval empire of Red Blackiland,Thomas Vertzlung I,he thought that for he can build a strong and great nation in hard time,he'll need Redinxson as a strong center with tough defense and bellic power,because of it,your growth was encouraged by his determination to build a great military power and bravure,with the past of the times,with the fact that the Army needed more men,and picked it from small set of islands near these lands with the same ethnity as the old Red Blackilandians.
Half of Redinxson was now mainly a military fort with an armoury,helping some local foundations with the line of prodution of the shields and armored heavily materials,turn this city into a power potency in military equipments production with a new line of gates,swords,shields and other equipments.But not only this,the city was strong and had a commerce/residences part too,became powerful in textiles and clothing (a strong enterprise is responsible for making Dunkelheer,Dunkeluftzweig and Dunkel Kriegewaltmarine uniforms),chemicals,mechnical,with the population growth as the Redinxson territory was anexated to other parts,bureaucracy and military had became bigger and other smaller industries and districts was incorporated to Redinxson activities.But isn't only that,as we said in the previous article,Meskitáh had a hanseatic league with other cities,and one of these is Redinxson,the most famous Meskitáh kontor (kontor means office) from the small region Schautzbuntz,from the central city of Meskitáh had a strong connection with the merchant guilds from Deorihio,in Redinxson and these two made long routs by sea to build strong and big markets,giving profit for the two cities and helping the growth of Red Blackiland into a real nation or empire in medieval times more fast.
With all of the central responsability in Redinxson,became the central of the medieval Red Blackiland,imperial government and the military establishment growned too much,along with the bigger appearences of rich bankers and industrialists.The Reichregierung (the central parliament building) with the central authority was divided in parts,one to took with small crime activities,other with the civil areas of interests like public health care and transportation,other with science advances and technology,one with economy and industries and other with culture incentive.This division helped to generate the fact that sanitary conditions in the city had became too good,at contrary from big part in cities of other countries,improving the working confidence of workers and the growth of production,museums were being built and enlarged and more music was made,a big development of industrial areas and more complex residences with gothic architecture,the government supported classic music shows and operas,building small playhouses through the city.After that,Red Blackiland entered in some big wars and Redinxson was the military center of the country,a true symbol of bravure to the soldiers from the entire country.
In religion,a interesting fact towards this city/state,the only single sights of religion that the country have,are the well-wishing of nordic mithology,specially in few rural small villages inherited by the old small Red Blackilandian islands.
The city's climate is a maritime temperate climate,by your position between rivers,specially the Great Redinxson River,with larger temperature differences during the year.Summers are warm and humid with average high temperatures of 20–24 °C,can low until 14º C,the winters are cool with average high temperatures of 1º C - 3º C can low until -1º C to -3º C.Around of the city,are located low-lying marshy woodlands and forests (one of these went to a patriotic music from the Army) with a series of lakes and great rivers with a little glacial valley and mountains.

Department of Defense, responsible for the development of new technologies for use by the military and all Defense/Armed Forces and GEMIFO has been responsible for funding the development of many technologies which have had a major effect on the world.Have a interesting mix of a small-medium size of residential area with few workers fields with a industrial area that attracts few foreign enteprises from other countries,like Trojana.This mix of residential and industrial area urban design is characterized by heavily ad-laden buildings and entertainment/other services establishments in the center surrounded by less "decorated" apartments, hotels and officer towers to the north, east and west.Most of military education associations and institutions are located in Cruce Estrella,it's a true symbol of the Abwehrmacht military's bravure.Indeed,have a large Militärbereichshauptkommandoquartier (Military Command Area) inside.

Meskitáh.It is an industrial-urban area located in the southeastern portion of the city,is the largest city/state in the south region.Meskitáh is one of the warmest cities in the country,have a temperate–oceanic climate,high temperatures at the day that down at the night.The presence of animals here s generally limited to insects, small rodents, and several species of birds.Its famous by your large structurated S-Bahn system (a public city centre and suburban rapid transit system within the public transport and commuter rail networks of urban areas.This is achieved by magnetic locomotives and train doors at platform level and by the complete use of separate tracks).Its one of the most cultured cities/states of the country,and have the main headquarters of the first division of the Luftfallschirmjäger (Paratroopers).Meskitáh has a great history of royal residence to the kings of older Empire times.In a distant sector of the city,its located one of the most high points of the world,the Mount Großer with a peak at 8,900m above sea level.

Was only of the few not-aheist or skeptical signals in Red Blackiland because had a christian influence in medieval times,having a famous Christian bishop,and made the first cathedral,a aisled basilicas with an apse building erected early in the 4th century.But these signals disappeared with the time that the atheist and skepticism grown up with the time and took the unanimity in the country.Are one of the most headquarters of Abwehrkreis,military districts with a huge size than the normal ones.In 1959,was found the TechonologischKreis (TK),began with a small area with some facilities and today is an important site for military production, including aircraft, submarines and tank engines and now its GEMIFO (Geschäftsstelle Militärforschungen or Red Blackiland Military Advanced Weapons and Projects) property and called GEMIFO-TechonologischKreis.
About the Meskitáh most famous teams.Athletic Meskitáh was founded on November 17,1947 as a rowing club by Theodor Eberhach,Vittor de Paul,Francisco Aued and Grimi Steinmetz.The group used to gather at a Café,and decided to form a rowing team. Rowing was one of the elite sports in the region,in the late 19th century. The young men hoped that forming a rowing club, would make them popular, with some young ladies of the city's high society.
Your history is traced back to the few Italian accentcommunity living in Doherty,a city where already some Italian immigrants lived and their desire to set up a football club.The idea of the club being created took a big step when Hepburn, a sports team from the city went through an administrative crises. When some players left Yale over a dispute,some went on to found the all Italian,Sports Society of Italian Union,more later,with the neightbourhood name,changed to Doherty Sports Association.This was the one of few foreigners citizens living in the country,despite the tourism is high-warm here,the country doesn't have much foreigners living in it as a homeland.
Your geography and climate...has an oceanic climate,by your higher altitude and position,summers are generally warm,in the beginning this area doesn't have much rain,at contrary in June that have to be a bit more rainfall.Your economy is associated with its energy production,military technologies that have interference on civil issues,like threatment with diseases,and its famous too for your great production of wines and alcooholic beverage,is also strong with automation.

This is evident by the types of houses that contrast with each other: Richman having more simple mansions that are less appealing, and Mulholland having more complex houses. Also, the roads in Richman are more simple,rustic asphalt by the tradition, in contrast to Mulholland's more refined, extensive roads.
Mulholland has a long history as the capital and royal residence for kings from the second and the third medieval empire of Red Blackiland,even with the importance of Redinxson and Meskitáh.
The elected ruler of the second old medieval empire of Red Blackiland,Mathias Nithral I (Nithral I) became king of it,by your family was originally born in Mulholland lands,he decided to make Mulholland stronger and tie in importance level with Redinxson and Meskitáh,he gathered many musicians,scientists,architects,rich peoples and nobles, painters,from all over these lands to Mulholland.His reign and leadership marked the beginning of Mulholland growth and emergence to the world,as a international symbol city and leading country's city for technology,arts and philosophy(specially estimulated by music).

NEW GELDERLAND ROSTER FOR CUP OF HARMONY 66 >>>

The New Gelderland Football Federation is proud to present the roster of the champions of the 60th Baptism of Fire for the Cup of Harmony.

GENERAL INFORMATION >>>

Style: -3
Football is one of the most popular and well-known sports in New Gelderland. Most people avidly follow or play football recreationally or casually. While the Euran League is the most popular league in New Gelderland, a nascent New Gelderlish league is forming to capitalize on the talent and interest of New Gelderland. As part of the popularity of football, the New Gelderland Football Federation was more than happy to send a team to its Terranean neighbors Eura and Valladares to compete in the Baptism of Fire, and, later, World Cup qualification matches home and away. At the first tournament that they ever played, the team won the 60th Baptism of Fire after a tense 3-2 victory over Fluvique. In their first World Cup cycle, New Gelderland reached the quarterfinals of the Cup of Harmony. New Gelderland further added the Olympic men's gold medal to their resume at the Olympics held jointly in Electrum and New Gelderland, and reached the quarterfinals of the 23rd Copa Rushmori, hosting on their first appearance.

Stylistically, the New Gelderlish national football team tends to play somewhat defensively. When playing on the offense, in contrast, the team tends to play opportunistically, watching and waiting for opportunities rather than all-out attacking. Offensive play also tends to focus on the midfield, where Louis Rhodes is more than capable of creating opportunities for Luke Virgo and Ben Griffin. Defensively, New Gelderland is known for producing very capable goalkeepers with good reflexes and eyes on the ball. The defensive side is also known for its good combination of man-to-man tactics as well as zonal defense and its tackling and pass interception abilities. With the ball, New Gelderland will likely pass the ball around until they see an opportunity; without the ball, they will try to force the ball into the defenders, try to intercept passes, or try and tackle.

Most of New Gelderland's football roster is, surprisingly, young, despite the expectations that New Gelderland would want to field its most experienced team. However, because of the dominance of the Euran league in New Gelderland's football history and the relative lack of prominence of Gelderlish players (who have not, until yet, had the opportunity to play professionally in a football league in New Gelderland), most of the best and experienced Gelderlish players are very young. This also correlates with a very young demographic trend in the population of New Gelderland itself.

Home Stadium: Olympic Stadium, Nassau Bay

The Olympic Stadium in Nassau Bay, New Gelderland's largest city, holds a capacity of 54,000 when supporting football matches. A retractable seating area will be used during the Olympics (if the New Gelderlish bid wins) to convert the football pitch into a stadium suitable for athletics events. Closing ceremonies as well as some preliminary football matches would be held in the stadium as well. Located in the Westmore Bluff area of Nassau Bay, the stadium's normal tenants are Olympic Nassau Bay. The stadium will host a majority of New Gelderland's home matches. Other matches may be scheduled at the Lexington National Stadium with a capacity of 47,500 in Lexington.

With the moderate success in the Sporting world depending on the sport itself, has proved interesting to The Colony and the Ferrets overall. Leading to the creation of many different teams in sports already well known, played, and dominated by other nations without discouraging Ferrets from trying to make their own place in the International Sporting world. While they may never win, that is perfectly acceptable for the sporting teams, with the goal being to do as good as possible to get what exposure that is possible. Then the secondary goal is to learn as much as possible about whatever is possible to either try and do better at sports or just to get as much information as possible.

After the early loss in the Baptism of Fire and World Cup, it came as a huge surprise that the team was picked to continue on in the third and final attempt to try and better themselves. Which even though it is odd the team Ferret Team members are still appreciative of the fact that they get to continue to try in a different event of the overall sport. At least they still get a chance to try and play in a famous event, and once again going back to the Nation of Red Blackland to finish up were they had started the sport out in during their first time playing.

KRYTENIA 2230 ~~WORLD~~ CUP OF HARMONY LXVI SQUAD (sigh)
Modifier: +3

THE MANAGEMENT TEAM

Manager – Dario NAVAS, Age 43
With old Rami Niblick disappearing off into a glorious sky blue sunset, it's his former assistant who's taking the reins. He's a little more defensive than his predecessor, which is like saying that black is a little darker than hex colour #111111.

Assistant Manager – Cordell TATE, Age 45
Goalkeeping Coach – Michael VERDETTI, Age 51
Defensive Coach – Steven PRIMROSE, Age 46
Offensive Coach – Mark YAKIMOV, Age 49
Physiotherapist – Jessica NELSON, Age 45

THE SQUAD

(Image)

David HEATON
Age: 35
Position: Goalkeeper
Club: Wexax United (VAL)
Emerged as a world-class shot stopper during World Cup 72. Wexax clearly liked what they saw.

(Image)

Sam BARCALI
Age: 33
Position: Right-back
Club: Avidia United
Pacy fullback with a decent cross, Barcali is no relation to the famed goalkeeper of yore. He is, however, an exciting attacking option for the national team. Age has dented his speed only slightly.

(Image)

Mitchell MITCHELL
Age: 25
Position: Left-back
Club: Ashton Olympic
The man with possibly the most unimaginative parents ever, "Mitchy Mitch" will be filling the void left by outgoing captain Michel Demetrius. Helped Ashton to an excellent Liga Calania season.

(Image)

Jason DAVIS
Age: 29
Position: Centre-back
Club: Mercia Bromham
Tall and rangy, Jason Davis is the man you want heading the ball - at either end.

(Image)

Alfie XOUSA
Age: 26
Position: Centre-back
Club: Avidia United
Combining intelligence with pace, Xousa has developed an excellent working relationship with Davis.

(Image)

Samuel ALINAS
CAPTAIN
Age: 33
Position: Central midfield
Club: Avidia United
Simple, honest, hard-tackling central midfielder, with excellent distribution. A real fulcrum for the side to work from.

(Image)

VALRAUNCION
Age: Elf
Position: Forward
Club: Telecontarë (STB)
Ah, the infamous elf. Valrauncion is, at least for now, the only Krytenian international who can lay claim to a World Cup winners' medal. He made a home for himself in Ousevale over the years, and when Starblaydia withdrew from international football at the end of World Cup 57, the KFA made a cheeky request to naturalise the striker and offer him a place in the cyan. To their astonishment, he accepted. Now back where it all began for his club, the Cyan Army still knows that he may be a cock, but he's OUR cock.

(Image)

Marco ANGELO
Age: 28
Position: Right midfield
Club: Emberton Reds
Maturing like a fine Chablis, Angelo has bags of pace, and crosses well. The one downside is that he no longer has Ronnie van Rijn to aim at; the upside is that Alex Sampson has developed in a similar vein.

(Image)

Alexander SAMPSON
Age: 24
Position: Forward
Club: Ousevale Borough
Ronnie van Who of Where? Alex Sampson is banging them in for club and country, and we couldn't be happier.

(Image)

Armando ORTEGA
Age: 22
Position: Attacking midfield/forward
Club: Avidia United
Where to begin? Plays like the ball is glued to his feat, is completely fearless against defences...and he's only just out of his teens. Expect fireworks. And maybe Exocets.

(Image)

Liam LARSSON
Age: 32
Position: Left midfield
Club: Casuals Osteria
The speed might not be quite what it once was, but Larsson can still pass and cross with laser-guided accuracy.

(Image)

Mark RANKINE
Age: 25
Position: Central midfield
Club: Stanton Town
Looked to be heading for the scrapheap before Stanton took a chance on him; he's repaid that faith with a string of high-class performances in the engine-room.

(Image)

Marcus BAILEY
Age: 25
Position: Goalkeeper
Club: Mercia Bromham
Excellent all-round talent; will be looking to wrest the green jersey from a certain D. Heaton.

(Image)

Neil DONNER
Age: 24
Position: Right midfield
Club: Ashton Olympic
One of the best players to come out of the Mother Bear City in years (Mitchell Mitchell was signed from Ousevale Juniors, so he doesn't count.) Loves to make full-backs work.

(Image)

Marcus LYONS
Age: 21
Position: Right-back
Club: Bradwell Saints
Promising young talent, full of beans.

(Image)

Craig GRASMERE
Age: 31
Position: Central midfield
Club: Real Atlantea
A midfield rock, tends to play best just in front of the back four. Excellent distribution with the short pass and tenacious in the tackle.

(Image)

Leo FLORES
Age: 19
Position: Forward
Club: Avidia United
Flores is, *ahem*, blossoming nicely as a striker.

(Image)

David HOLZMANN
Age: 25
Position: Forward
Club: Royal Emberton
Clinical in the box, but could do with improving his workrate off the ball.

(Image)

Mark ELLISHAM
Age: 31
Position: Centre-back
Club: Casuals Osteria
The rock of the Miners' defence, Ellisham is best with the ball at his feet. He's an expert at the calm thirty-yard clearance to an onrushing winger.

(Image)

Michael COKER
Age: 27
Position: Centre-back
Club: Leston Town
Ah, Leston, the City of Industry. No surprises, then, that Coker is a hard-working engine in the back line.

(Image)

Adrian ANUZZI
Age: 26
Position: Left midfield
Club: Emberton Reds
Still yet to completely fulfil his tag as the "new Kiefer Lloyd". Captaining the Under-21s added some strings to his bow though.

(Image)

Jason LEUTER
Age: 30
Position: Goalkeeper
Club: Casuals Osteria
Casuals do like to produce young goalkeeping talent; sadly Leuter is well back in the current international queue.

(Image)

John MARSHALL
Age: 23
Position: Left-back
Club: Ousevale Borough
A rough diamond, tends to be too happy in bombing forward and exposing the defence. Good skills on the ball, though.

LIKELY STARTERS
Heaton
Barcali - Xousa – Davis – Mitchell
Angelo - Alinas (c) - Larsson
Ortega
Valrauncion – Sampson

Chromatika Anomalies National Football Team
Kits:
Home:

Away:

Courtesy of JMC Football Kits of Krytenia

Manager: Franscesca Cortes Larriet, Myana Islanders F (DIn)
Franscesca returns for her second stint as the national team after a 3-2-7 showing that yielded sixth place in the first cycle. There is a little more pressure on her after the entire fiasco with Luuk, but a mid-table finish would be acceptable from the DG.
Formation: 5-1-2-2

Style Modifier: -3
Larriet has changed the Chromatik side by a little bit this cycle, with the wingers playing a little bit higher to make the counterattacks a little more possible. Kelly takes the Captaincy from Aart, and Lucas and she will be the ones responsible for the lightning fast attacks that get the ball back up to Antonio. This will make it a little harder on Kelly and Lucas to play on defense, but she believes that may work.

STARTING XI
GK #4 Nikolai THORBEN, Myana Islanders M (LVi) Age: 25 Height: 6 ft 11 in
Thorben returns as the keeper after giving up the least number of goals in the group last cycle, fourteen in twelve games. He did get outdone by Urrheddiao youngster Jillian Nier and Kiristn Neovak of the Anomalies, but won the League anyway. Known for his reflexes and reach, but also known for his predictability, he will hope to be the bookend of the team once again.

RB #13 Severin ILYA, Depri Lanar Red Hawks M (DBl) Age: 24 Height: 5 ft 7 in
What Ilya lacks in height, he makes up with his footwork and agility. The lynchpin of the Red Hawks, he returns to the team despite such a disappointing season in the League, which was not at all his fault. He still made first team all-league, and his skills will be needed if Thorben is to excel.

RCB #20 Vitor RAOUL, Anomalies M (LVi) Age: 27 Height: 6 ft 2 in
If there is an outspoken voice of the team, it’s Vitor, who isn’t afraid to give his teammates, his family, his opponents, or even his coach a piece of his mind if the occasion calls for it. Characterized by his Myana drawl and quick wit, his play on the pitch is defined by his ability to work in tandem with Aart in organizing the backfield. It will be interesting to see when he speaks up this cycle, and also how the Anomalies (the national team, not his club team) react to his views. Will he help Kelly’s leadership, or become an opposition? Only time will tell.

CB #28 Luuk AART, Myana Islanders M (Min?) Age: 20 Height: 6 ft 4 in
Once the Anomalies’ Captain, Aart has since been relieved of his duties. As the entire nation knows, this was mostly due to the legitimacy of his bloodline being questioned in a court case that has become the talk of the nation. Larriet was put under some scrutiny for keeping him on the team despite his appearing in only ten games in the league this season. His composure, especially for one so young, is what sets him apart from most. How rusty is he? And can the Anomalies afford a player whose livelihood is being questioned?

LCB #16 Otis SORENDAI, Anomalies M (DBl) Age: 21 Height: 6 ft
Replacing Worensten on the team is Sorendai, who has been playing better as of late. His ability to backpedal and never give up on his man has earned him many accolades from the Anomalies camp, and Larriet decided to heed it. His partnership with Raoul should also help the team, as he hopes to not be the weak link to the wall of the Anomalies.

LB #14 Zlastica ELLEN, Chromatik Capitalizt F (DVi) Age: 26 Height: 6 ft 11 in
The first Capitalizt player to make it to the starting XI, Ellen will also have the distinction of being the only female player on the defensive side for the Anomalies. Her height is a definitive asset in clearing on set pieces, and she also brings a toughness that opponents will find hard to ignore. She can get a bit ill-tempered, however, and that remains the Achilles’ heel on an otherwise solid player.

RM #18 Meagan KELLY, Z'ai'ai Mountaineers F (MIn) Age: 24 Height: 5 ft 4 in CAPTAIN
Known to be the fastest player Chromatika has ever seen, Kelly’s burst off the wing will be crucial if the Anomalies are going to score any goals. With Aart tied up in legal proceedings, she takes the Captaincy, and brings a clear voice to the locker room. Her whole career has been built upon proving naysayers who said she would never amount to anything due to her height. Now, she seeks to disprove the same ones who say that Antonio should have been captain, not her.

CM #15 Rachel HELLION, Anomalies F (MIn) Age: 21 Height: 6 ft 6 in
Hellion dazzled on the domestic scene this season, scoring sixteen goals for the Anomalies, with ten of them coming off of set pieces. Her footwork and technique are solid, but the way she curves the ball around defenders and past the keeper… The Anomalies don’t score too many goals off of set pieces, but if they do, it’ll most likely be off of her left foot. She’ll be playing a bit further back than Kelly or Lucas in the midfield.

LM #29 Daniel LUCAS, Myana Islanders M (DVi) Age: 29 Height: 6 ft 6 in.
The eldest member of the Starting XI, Lucas has the pedigree of being in Larriet’s system and playing the exact same counterattacking role. His crosses have become legendary in the domestic league, and the subject of many a highlight reel. This may be his last hurrah, as he will be over thirty the next cycle, but age doesn’t seem to be slowing him down – if anything, it’s giving him a hunger to pursue faster than ever before.

RF #7 Nioli QUREN, Z'ai'ai Mountaineers M (DIn) Age: 25 Height: 6 ft 2 in
Soft-spoken and gentle, Quren could be considered soft on the pitch. The way he plays, though, he doesn’t need to get down and dirty. He is like a hunter, waiting for the perfect moment of spacing and timing to happen, and then pouncing on it on a moment’s notice. It is true that Antonio gets most of the attention in the Anomalies’ frontal attack, but he’s fine with that – he prefers the shadows anyway.

LF #8 Gabriella ANTONIO, Anomalies F (LVi) Age: 23 Height: 6 ft 1 in
The one-woman wrecking ball of an offense for the Anomalies, Antonio has grown into her own since her four-goal debut last cycle. There are rumors of her being transferred to Myana to create more of a super-team of dominance next year, but that shouldn’t detract from her play. If the Anomalies are going to make more of an impact this cycle, she will need to show up, and show up big.

Bench
GK #1, Jillian NIER, Urrheddiao United F (MIn) Age: 18 Height: 6 ft 7 in
Nier just turned old enough to play on the professional level, and shocked the league by tying for first place for the Golden Glove award. Her instincts are off the charts, and she will be watching Thorben with avid eyes to see how international football is different than domestic.

DEF #26 Erika MORNINGSTAR, Urrheddiao United F (DVi) Age: 21 Height: 6 ft
One of the biggest reasons why the United yielded so few goals last season, Morningstar is likely to be snatched up by one of the big clubs. She may be overshadowed by the big names now, but her chance will come – she is counting on it.

DEF #30 Jan STANIMIR, Chromatik Capitalizt M (DBl) Age: 22 Height: 6 ft 3 in
This is the second stint in the row on the bench for Stanimir, who is as well-rounded of a player as they come. His selflessness and calmness in the face of pressure make him a valuable asset on any squad. He may not be the greatest athletically, but his intangibles set him apart.

MID #29 Sandra SYBILL, Z’ai’ai Mountaineers F (MVi) Age: 23 Height: 5 ft 11 in
Part of the vaunted Mountaineer attack, Sybill will most likely substitute in for either Kelly or Lucas as she also has the skills to bring the ball up very quickly, albeit the fact that she will most likely do it herself instead of passing it over.

MID #19 Ki NIRO, Pùr Riders F (MVi) Age: 22 Height: 5 ft 10 in
The Riders did score sixty-nine goals this season in the Second Division, and Niro assisted on fifteen of them. Her first-touch speed is very fast, and her field vision is great.

FOR #20 Vladimir JANOS, Chromatik Capitalizt M (MBl) Age: 23 Height: 5 ft 9 in
What he lacks in height, he makes up with his shooting, especially to the left upper corner of the net. Janos is a sniper, liking the sweet spot of five yards from goal.

FOR #22 Teor RWANG, Anomalies M (LBl) Age: 20 Height: 6 ft 2 in
Rwang is a player with plenty of upside, just learning what his style of attack is. His head is his weapon of choice, and it has the potential of yielding him a bright future.

Home Venue:
Capitalizt Dome, Chromatiks City, Chromatika (Cap. 144,000)
The crown jewel of the Chromatiks City skyline, the Dome is home to the Capitalizt, and also the national team. Full of state-of-the art facilities and placed in the middle of downtown Chromatiks City, the Dome guarantees a pleasurable viewing experience of football.

Most Likely to:
Score: Hellion off of set pieces, Antonio otherwise. Kelly sometimes, Quren rarely.
Foul: Any of the defense knows when to commit a foul for the greater good.
Card: Raoul, Ilya, Aart, in that order.
Substitute: Lucas for Sybill, or Quren for Rwang.

Kaboomlandia Phoenix National Association Football Team

In World Cup 74, the Phoenix took a tough group and very nearly qualified, eventually dropping two of their last three games to fall out of a playoff spot. It wasn't all bad, though, as the team proved they can play on the world stage. Discipline, defense and some great goaltending are Kaboomlandia's hallmarks, and they followed these to a tee.

Nickname: Phoenix
Head Coach: Ryan White
Assistant Coach: Tom Burns
Stadium: Kaboomlandian National Stadium (54,400)
Style Modifier: -5.0

Starters:
GK: #1 Duncan McEachern, Age 22, 6'2", 200 lbs
The only superstar on the team, McEachern plays for one of the world's best youth clubs, International FC of Armeia.

Defense:
#8 Marco Ciliano, Age 25, 5'8", 175 lbs
Ciliano is a solid if unspectacular defender for Galturin FC.
#4 John Burrell, Age 29, 6'1", 195 lbs
Burrell is also a defensive stalwart in the backfield for Galturin City.
#3 Darren Cracknell, Age 20, 6'3", 214 lbs
Cracknell is a giant defender for Kolra Royale. He's very difficult to get past.

Midfield:
#11 Julian Epone, Age 18, 6', 200 lbs
Epone is a good ball-mover with size.
#5 Ben Bradbury, Age 21, 5'10", 193 lbs
Bradbury is a decent offensive midfielder, but in Coach White's stifling defensive system, how will he fit in?
#18 Gillian Lapointe, Age 18, 5'6", 154 lbs
One of only two women with a starting position on this team, Lapointe is quick, but is dwarfed by her teammates.
#2 Jared Kessler, Age 22, 5'8", 182 lbs
Kessler is the second-smallest man on the team, at only 5'8", 182 lbs. He plays well in White's defensive system.

Forwards:
#17 Rene Allard, Age 19, 6'2", 197 lbs
The tall forward is the Phoenix' only good scorer, and so he is the only offensive player in Ryan White's system.
#20 Tanner Libin, Age 23, 6'1", 185 lbs
Tanner Libin is a very defensive forward. Coaches like him because of his staunch defensive skills.
#23 Diana Libin, Age 18, 5'6", 143 lbs
The sister of Tanner, Diana is the smallest player on the team, as well as the youngest. She is also a defensive forward.

Reserves:
GK:
#15 Julian Karp, Age 24, 6'2", 217 lbs
Karp is the clear backup behind McEachern. He's been criticized for his conditioning in the past.

Defense:
#30 Sarah Jenson, Age 23, 5'7", 160 lbs
Jenson is the third woman on the team, and the oldest of the three.

Midfield:
#43 Jim Wright, Age 26, 5'11", 180 lbs
Wright was named to this team for his character and ability to come in and work hard.

Forward:
#96 David Daley, Age 22, 5'10", 178 lbs
Daley rounds out the team as the fourth forward. Don't expect to see him much.

Playing Style:
This is where the Phoenix will be made or broken. Ryan White's system is a 1-8-1 formation that will make opposing coaches want to pull their hair out in frustration. It essentially revolves around putting Rene Allard in front and Marco Ciliano in the back, while stacking up the other eight players around midfield to break up any possible pass attempt The sheer amount of offside calls this causes by there only being one person back has actually caused more than one red card to be handed out to their opponents just from screaming at the refs for all the offsides.

RP Permissions:
Choose my Scorers: No. All goals will be scored by Rene Allard.
RP Scoring Events: Yes
Godmod Scoring Events: No
Yellow Card my Players: Yes
Red Card my players: Limit 1 per game, though you may TG me to request permission to RP more.
Godmod Yellow/Red Cards: No

History

Associated Godlands has always harbored a passion for the game, but the most organized play that existed was churches playing against one another. However, the Associated Godlands government has recently decided to take a more vested interest in soccer, starting with entering the World Cup. In Associated Godlands's first ever international match in the Baptism of Fire, 50,000 followers made the long trip to Star United States to see them play out a 0-0 draw against Recuecn. Associated Godlands then scored their first goal and earned their first win in the next match against United RussoAsia, a 3-0 victory. They followed that up with a dominating 4-0 win over Helmon to finish first in the group and make the knockout stages. Unfortunately, they didn't last long, falling 5-1 to Port Christopher in the round of 16. But fans were still optimistic about Associated Godlands's chances in the upcoming World Cup. However, those hopes largely fell flat. Associated Godlands, despite their occasional shows of flair and the heroics of the Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, often looked lifeless, and only managed one win in 14 matches, along with four draws. The seven-point showing was disappointing, but the Obeyers were consolidated with an invitation to the Cup of Harmony. Unfortunately, they struggled once again, only gaining one point and finishing last in their group.

The Obeyers then entered their second World Cup campaign, confident of rebounding. It started well enough, as they won their first two games, and they continued to stay in contention. Unfortunately, the Obeyers didn't manage more than 16 points, and they failed to earn a playoff berth. They then entered their second Cup of Harmony, but missed the knockout stages. Now they will finally achieve what God has set out for them - winning the ~~World~~ Cup of Harmony.

Associated Godlands also has a rich history outside of soccer. The nation was established 2015 years ago when The Lord and Savior Jesus Christ was born and cast His glow over previously dark, barren lands. He made these lands, now called Associated Godlands, burst with life. Associated Godlands has been a paradise ever since.

DEMOCRATIC REPUBLIC OF ABANHFLEFT
NATIONAL ASSOCIATION FOOTBALL TEAM

Following one of the most disastrous qualifying campaigns ever seen by Fleftic eyes, the Democratic Republic has had to settle for another Cup of Harmony invite once again. Kasper Molak is gone, replaced by Armeia's Holly Jonasson, who seemed like the only person willing to turn around this team of unambitious women. Her efforts came too late for the Lady Revolutionaries to turn their qualifying campaign around, but people are very, very hopeful that she can change that starting with the Cup of Harmony. Let's see if she is indeed successful in doing this..,

BASIC INFORMATION
Name of nation: Democratic Republic of Abanhfleft
Demonym: Fleftic
Team colors: Blue, orange, and green
Style modifier: +3.5
Formation: 3-4-3 (or 3-4-1-2, depending on how you want to see it)
Manager: Holly Jonasson (40 y/o, Armeia)

STARTERS
GK: Victoria CARTER 32 y/o, Xemlice Rovers Ladies

, captain
Vicky is the ever-dependable skipper of the Lady Revolutionaries. She is genuinely proving herself to being a world-class keeper, and her saves during World Cup 72 qualifying almost allowed Abanhfleft to advance to the World Cup proper that year, and only a slump of form in the second half of the qualifiers prevented the team from achieving that goal. She does tend to have a temper which is bound to flare up if she or the whole team is frustrated, as evidenced by her slap at the Sameban captain during said qualifiers. Overall, though, while she may not be the most acrobatic or sensational of keepers to watch, the fact that she is still between the sticks for Abanhfleft means that she's got quality. World-class quality, even.

LB: Jordana VALENTINE 27 y/o, Xemlice Rovers Ladies

Abanhfleft's women's football team managed to nearly qualify for the World Cup with only three defenders, and the fact that these three defenders are able to cover the large amount of space between and around them has made said defense world-renowned. Dana has a powerful engine to accompany her unusually long strides, and her measured yet high-tempo runs allow her to cover said large spaces even for her small stature, and is excellent at both attacking and defending set pieces. However, she is a confidence player, meaning a few bad games and her form could dip below the standard, as became noticeable in Abanhfleft's last few games in World Cup 72 qualifiers following her scoring an own goal for New Wolfopolis.

CB: Dawn JACKSON 28 y/o, Ludogorets Markovsky Ladies

A single center back is rare to find in international football these days, and the fact that Dawn is able to do it day in and day out for both the national team and Markovsky Ladies is a testament to her skills. Few will begrudge her her moments for both club and country, and sometimes, when the going gets tough, she can be the last line of defense at one end and a scoring threat at the other just seconds later. If she's the last player between the opposition and the keeper, she will not hesitate to tackle. It's put a lot of yellow cards and a few red cards on her career, but who can blame the daughter of the legendary defender MacArthur "Mac" Jackson for inheriting his defensive style?

RB: Claire OSGOOD 28 y/o, Blue Coast 1981

(Port Christopher)
Claire is one of the few Fleftic players playing in a foreign league that is not the Pridnestrovian Super League, the Oontaz National League or the Copper Cuprum First Division, and she is also the first Fleftic to move to another team that is not playing within Abanhfleft's sphere of influence. Like Dana Valentine on the other side of the pitch, Claire appears tireless as she runs all over the field, covering the flanks and sometimes even acting as a wingback if the situation demands. She has a mean long shot and also sometimes can act as a poacher for set pieces such as corners. She was sold by Sarvusdalamoive Ladies to Blue Coast 1981 in Port Christopher for a club record fee of NS$22m.

LM: Lea CHOI 24 y/o, Arsenal de Releinthi Ladies

A good showing from Lea in Abanhfleft's first ever Di Bradini campaign left a good impression on Kasper Molak, and he immediately promoted her to the senior team in place of Tamika Keenings, who retired from international football soon after the conclusion of DBC 31. The half-Korean midfielder is one of the taller players on the starting eleven in comparison to the likes of Bella Maynard and Jordana Valentine. She is definitely the one with the most stamina, as her distance-covered graphics in many league, cup and national games shows how much energy she has in her lithe body. Also, she's scored a disproportionate amount of headers and volleys for someone who's supposed to be patrolling the pitch in front of the defense. After some time playing for Ladies' Third Division side Tefel Ladies, she was picked up by Arsenal de Releinthi Ladies for NS$10.5m.

RM: Bella MAYNARD 31 y/o, Ludogorets Markovsky Ladies

Bella was one of the surprise players for Abanhfleft in the World Cup 72 qualifiers, revealing herself to be much more than just a box-to-box midfielder. Turns out that she actually has a wicked good free kick and long range shot, and is also a good poacher of both goals and set pieces, especially when she is in the box during goal scrambles. There are often times, though, that she is the last line of defense before the actual defenders themselves, and when she's not too heavily involved in the attack during these times, count on her to make a critical tackle to stop the opponents' momentum and halt their attack on its tracks. Still, she can be caught unawares, especially by a very good and very quick counterattacking side.

LW: Adelaide SINGH 27 y/o, Ludogorets Markovsky Ladies

Addie is the pacier half of Abanhfleft's main winger pairing, and one might remember that she was already a member of Riuwiee State University's track and field program as a sprinter before joining her friends in the university's football team. A wise choice, both for her and for Riuwiee State, it turned out, as she was instrumental to leading the university to their first (and to date only) Riuwiee Provincial Football Association Challenge Cup. She was signed by Ludogorets Markovsky Ladies as soon as she graduated and went pro, and her background as a sprinter made her one of the fastest players of the team, if not the Ladies' Premier League itself. She also has good crossing ability, and she has the confidence and finishing to go one-on-one on the keeper if need be.

RW: Lillian PRESCOTT 27 y/o, Riuwiee United Women

Lilly is the stronger half of Abanhfleft's main winger pairing, complimenting and contrasting Addie Singh's pace with her rock-solid presence. Her hold-up play and ball control skills have made her an indispensable part of all the teams that she's played for in her career, from Riuwiee State University to Admiral Porcusces Ladies to her new club Riuwiee United Women, who signed her from the Admirals for NS$9.6m as part of the club's new initiative to emulate the men's team in terms of success on the pitch. It was obvious that the decision to make her a first-team player for the national team was a no-brainer, although she did struggle to find her rhythm until her old teammates from Riuwiee State also received international call-ups, especially her wing partner Addie. With the two of them on the wings, Abanhfleft has attacking danger everywhere on the pitch.

CAM: Allison TORRES 27 y/o, Sporting Ceneisis Ladies

Sonny started off as a central attacking midfielder during her Riuwiee State University days, but her tendency to go forward and mingle with the dedicated forwards has seen her develop into a false nine under Xemlice Rovers' old gaffer George Westing. Her ball distribution skills, also developed under the same manager, have allowed her to become both an attacking threat up front and a vital link-up cog in the middle. Last year, she was snapped up by Sporting Ceneisis Ladies for NS$50m, making her the most expensive female Fleftic football player ever. However, as with many other big money signings by Ceneisis, it took her nearly half a season before she managed to establish a good tandem with her striker partner and fellow new signing by Ceneisis, Svenja Volksson of Armeia. For the national team, Sonny is a credible goalscoring threat, and her forward forays have allowed her to score her fair share of goals.

CF: Alexandra ROUSSEAU 27 y/o, Rosenpfelblatz City Ladies

The height difference between Alex and Chelsea Stuart may be small (just about half an inch or so) but it's enough to make her into the smaller and speedier half of Abanhfleft's forward pairing, even though she's about a few pounds heavier than Chelsea (but don't tell her that). She doesn't accelerate as quickly as other "pacy" forwards, but once she gets going, she goes, and fast. Addie Singh and Lea Choi may be the only ones who could claim to be faster than Alex when she's at full speed, but sometimes a turtle can seem faster when she's "revving up". She can play as lone striker if need be, and indeed played that role for Rosenpfelblatz before the emergence of Karen Villegas, but she truly works best with a strike partner, especially a ridiculously strong (for her build) and physical hold-up expert like Chelsea.

CF: Chelsea STUART 27 y/o, Arsenal de Releinthi Ladies

vice-captain
Chelsea has become the face of both Arsenal Ladies and the Fleftic women's football team. Once she scored that hat-trick against Riuwiee United's U-21s that paved the way for Riuwiee State University's comeback victory and their first and only Riuwiee Provincial FA Cup, the goalscoring floodgates have opened up for her for both club and country. She has already gone five seasons scoring twenty goals or more in the Ladies' Premier League, winning the Golden Boot in three of those five seasons. Her hold-up play is simply world-class, and she can score from anywhere on the field, sometimes at will. Her only weakness is that she's a little timid when it comes to going forward, and that she is easily frustrated if she doesn't score from an easy chance.

RESERVES
GK: Yannie REDBORNE 32 y/o, Rosenpfelblatz City Ladies

Some would say that Yannie's time between the sticks for the Democratic Republic had been a long time coming. But with Vicky Carter just about starting the reach the peak of her career, it did seem like a long shot for Yannie to be getting some playing time for Abanhfleft. But with Kasper Molak's regular goalie deputies Stephanie Bryan still out from a hyper-extended elbow and Yelena Valinovskaya trying to pick up match fitness after a hamstring pull, Yannie will finally get to warm the bench in an international competition for the national team. And for those few questioning her inclusion into the World Cup squad, surely her being the number one for Rosenpfelblatz Ladies counts for something, right?

GK: Yelena VALINOVSKAYA 28 y/o, Ludogorets Markovsky Ladies

Yelena is the tallest keeper and the player on the national team, full stop. She sat out the majority of last season after going under the knife for a horror training camp injury. She finally returned to playing international football by playing in a friendly against Pridnestrovia, but ended up pulling her hamstring in the same game, sidelining her once again. Yelena is still on the road to recovery once again, but seeing as Molak trusts her between the sticks more than any other available female Fleftic keeper, she still has a spot in the final roster, but she will be spending the time watching the game from the sidelines.

DEF: Amanda WARREN 26 y/o, Arsenal de Releinthi Ladies

Amanda is definitely one of the surprise packages of the women's national team's first foray in the World Cup qualifiers as a team. Although this wouldn't come as a surprise for followers of Arsenal de Releinthi Ladies, who know of Godric Wexler's ability to produce world-class players from his team's youth academies. Although obviously she's not yet as world class as Gooners would like people to believe, the potential is there, and regular minutes for both club and country will only help to develop her talent.

DEF: Miriam HANNIBAL 28 y/o, Marinos Thimpodopoulos Women

Don't let her surname fool you. While she may have the tenacity and patience of a serial killer when it comes to defending, making tackles and chasing loose balls, personally she's a relatable woman who is fun to hang around with, although only her friends are supposed to know that. She's the kind of player that opposing fans love to hate, and Fleftic football fans love it that opposing fans love to hate her. Miriam can play on all sides of the defense, but she prefers the center back position, which she plays to great effect at Marinos Thimpodopoulos Women.

DEF: Tonya HEATON 30 y/o, Marinos Thimpodopoulos Women

Tonya is a proper left back who could probably get into the starting eleven of any other team out there, and probably even this team, if only the likes of Claire Osgood and/or Dana Valentine were not available or injured or weren't actually playing football at all. Also, she's one of the few truly ambidextrous football players in the country, which is why she could play in either full back position if something should ever happen to the likes of Dana and Claire and maybe even Amanda.

MID: Merida VANCE 23 y/o, Ludogorets Markovsky Ladies

At just the tender age of 23, Merida has turned herself from a lanky and clumsy girl straight out of the academy with a future as a lower-league player into a vital piece of Ludogorets Markovsky Ladies' midfield puzzle, helping the Lady Foresters to both the Ladies' Premier League title and the Women's SFA Cup in the 2014-15 season. Now, two years later, she's still vital to the team then as she is now, and she will serve as a capable backup for her teammate Bella Maynard for both the Emperor's Cup, World Cup qualifiers, and if they make it, the World Cup itself.

MID: Raisa KOROVINA 32 y/o, Ludogorets Markovsky Ladies

Who can forget Raisa Korovina, the midfielder from Markovsky who scored a vital penalty for the Lady Foresters to get all three points and pip the title from their Mezaladbyi rivals, Rosenpfelblatz City Ladies? Or how about that wonderfully taken free kick to give Abanhfleft victory over the Pridnestrovian women's football team in the Coalition Cup? Raisa is already a legend at Markovsky, and she's well on her way to being what she wanted the most, a one-club woman, after signing a huge contract extension reported to keep her in Markovsky for the next five years. This dedication of hers to the sport is just one of the reasons why she's on the national team. She is the complete midfielder, with the right mix of offensive and defensive qualities, and while her stamina isn't as it used to be, Raisa is still capable of making an impact from the bench.

MID: Rachel AZUL 26 y/o, Arsenal de Releinthi Ladies

It's not the Fleftic women's team if it doesn't have two of the most important things in the Fleftic footballing philosophy: wingers and strikers. The starting winger pairing of Addie Singh and Lilly Prescott are backed up by the winger pairing of Rachel Azul and Cecilia Johnson. Rachel is the taller and stronger half of their pairing, and while she's not as fast as Addie and her hold-up play isn't as good as Lilly's, she's still good for peppering the box with crosses for other players to head or volley into the net to close out games, and her height also makes her a threat on the set piece. Even at 26, there's still a lot of potential on tap for her, as evidenced by her move to Arsenal from the Antslinngs Islands alongside CeCe for the princely sum of NS$20m.

MID: Cecilia JOHNSON 26 y/o, Arsenal de Releinthi Ladies

Looking at Rachel and CeCe, it's obvious to anyone who does what when they're starting. What she doesn't have in terms of height and strength, CeCe more than makes up for it with her speed, pace and wicked curving kick that, when the wind blows the right way, could result in a goal from literally nowhere. Her long legs have earned her the nickname "Giraffe Girl" even though she's not the tallest player from the Antslinngs Academy of Football or even on the national team, and it's those legs that allow her to cover so much ground in so little time. She is also the greater goalscoring threat from open play, cutting into the box and firing off shots at the net, sometimes to the point of ignoring teammates in better and more viable positions. But she can, and has done so from time to time, made the telling pass that leads to a goal.

FW: Karen VILLEGAS 23 y/o, Rosenpfelblatz City Ladies

It's very rare for someone as short as Karen to be a football player, let alone a striker. But against all odds, not only did she become a good football player, she's also become one of the best players of her generation. Karen was a prodigy even at a very young age, but she nearly ended up not playing football twice: first, when she was shot in the neck (not fatally, thankfully) during the Holy Catholic Revolution of 2008, and second, when the expected growth spurt upon hitting puberty never actually happened. But after seeing the likes of Sonny Torres, Chelsea Stuart and Alex Rousseau succeed at the top flight of women's football in Abanhfleft, she trialled for Rosenpfelblatz City Ladies and was admitted into their academy. Eight years later, Karen is now an international player and Rousseau's striker partner at Rosenpfelblatz.

FW: Zsofia DOLAN 22 y/o, Lionesses

(Armeia)
Abanhfleft in general, and the city of Markovsky in particular, has always been a melting pot of various cultures, faiths and beliefs, and Sofie is the embodiment of that multicultural spirit. Born and raised in the majority-Russian city of Markovsky to a mixed Hungarian and Irish family, Sofie inherited the hardworking spirit of the two peoples from which she descended, and when many others would have given up and quit, Sofie continued working her way up the ranks of Ludogorets Markovsky Ladies, and she broke through to the first team just in time for the Lady Foresters to achieve the Ladies' Premier League and Women's SFA Cup double. She moved to Lionesses in Armeia as part of the club's rebuilding process, after a plane crash killed most of the players of the old team, and her performances and general hard work have earned her a starting spot in the club.

FW: Regina MESBROS 31 y/o, Riuwiee United Women

"Good enough for a squad role, not good enough to start." That seems to be the general consensus about Reggie Mesbros right now. She had such a bright career ahead of her, in the days of women's football in Abanhfleft when the Mythical Five of Riuwiee State University were still in high school and had other interests. She was supposed to be the future of women's football. Instead, on the day before it was said that she was to finally receive a call-up for the national team, she got injured in a league game between Riuwiee United and West Releinthi. She never really recovered her earlier luster after that injury. The talent's still there, there's no denying that; but Reggie doesn't feel the need to show it as much as she used to anymore. And with the rise of the Mythical Five, it was inevitable that even though she may be a part of the national team, she was now only good enough for the substitutes. But she can still provide from the bench that levelheadedness that can see the squad through some tough periods in games.

- This is a team known for its emotion, as this sport is easily the #1 activity in Amazonesta. Therefore, all goal celebrations will be a little bit drawn out.

Coaching Staff

Hao Liwei
Age: 41
Hao Liwei, former tactics coach of Nagato Goya and Kan Sapphires; a proven and ambitious coach in the second class now, where he already had two teams promote to the first division. Hao Liwei is to succeed Huangzhou Yu after he failed to make Kandorith qualify for World Cup 74. Now going into the Cup of Harmony 66, a lot is expected from Liwei. The Kandorese people will put more faith in him than Huangzhou has ever had, mostly because he is to redeem the Kandorese Red Dragons from their downfall in the World Cup Qualifiers. The hope of rising like a phoenix rests on Liwei's shoulders. As the nation anxiously awaits his first appearance as coach of Kandorith. He was the first choice for the Imperial Football Association, even though a few foreign choices were there to pick from, the association has decided to stick with an all Kandorese team.

Starting XI

Standing 186CM tall, Tuan has amazing cat like reflexes, ready to jump at all incoming balls and keeping his team safe from conceding

Defense

Xian Shilin
Age: 26
Length: 185CM
Xian is a cold blooded defender of Gamba Hujiajing, a true old school styled defender. Always trying to get his tackles perfectly timed, and never taking his eyes off the ball. His other noteworthy abilities are his free kicks and headers, which he excels at by far.

Xiexie Tian
Age: 22
Length: 177CM
Xiexie Tian, the defender from Tangximian FC, a respectable and sturdy central defender who takes his role as a defender very serious. Even in the modern game he is a true stout defender and rarely goes forward.

Lung Mara
Age: 27
Length: 176CM
Lung Mara, the tactical connection of defense and the midfield; with amazing speed and passing ability he makes sure the midfield is supplied with the ball to start the counter. Defensive he stays mostly back, until the attacking side slips up, that's when Mara sets in motion the counter

Mao Zhensheng
Age: 23
Length: 1862M
A fine defender from Xianghzou Sapphires, replacing Miraki, his team member, in the national team. Young, tall and very quick across the pitch. A true nightmare for approaching strikers. Even though he plays on the midfield, Zhensheng mostly takes a defensive role on this midfield and rarely joins the attack.

Midfield


Xin Zihao
Age: 23
Length: 180CM
Xin Zihao, a midfielder from Nagato Goya; very proficient in being a all-round midfielder and backup defender. He is the playmaker for the defensive side and controls the defense. With him in the team the defensive side of Kandorith will play their possession football and look for any opportunity to outplay the opponent.


Ximin Chosi
Age: 25
Length: 177CM
Ximin, an ambitious young player from Yingshua Sabers, one of the lesser known teams of the Kandorese Imperial League; but equally dangerous as the bigger names, mostly because of this player. He is an excellent runner, passer and crosser; always looking for a hole in the defense to press the ball towards the striker, he does not often score; but when he does, it's a ranged effort with extreme finesse.


Shan Xiaobo (Captain)
Age: 27
Length: 177CM
Shan is a true sideline winger and midfielder. He awaits any chance on the wings and answers those with quick runs forward and crosses into the box. His passing and crossing accuracy is deadly, especially in deadlocked or important matches. He has been the star of his team Quiatoa Shinsen for many years now. And has now been chosen to be the captain of the Kandorese national team.

Strikers


Qing Weimin
Age: 21
Length: 181CM
Qing Weimin, from Xiangzhou Red. A very young and ambitious player who is not afraid to pass the ball or even have a go at goal himself. Within Xiangzhou he is a very renowned striker and winger, capable of playing both in the attacking midfield as in the box. Qing is an absolute danger in long range shots and passes, to let the goal be finished of by a target man, if not finishing it by himself.


Minzheng Shéng
Age: 23
Length: 182CM
Minzhen, a true support striker who rather passes the ball than score himself. Even though he has created beautiful goals in the past; he is the man to set up the initial goal. A great all round runner and striker, a great free kick taker, but not truly a finisher; but in combination with Madato a very deadly forward


Madato Xien-kan
Age: 24
Length: 180CM
Madato is the star striker of Qing Shinsen, a lesser known and mid table club from the Kandorese domestic league. After Xí-tiang took the national team under his wings, Madato has been proving himself to the coach over and over. Nearly surpassing Méng as star player, Madato is a frequent face in the starting eleven of Kandorith. Now as his skills became more and more refined he has grown to be the striker for the Red Dragons.

National information.
Located within the Esportiva, Port Christopher is an unincorporated state of the Free Colony of Schottia. The nation is home to just over 1,000,000 people, the vast majority living in the City of Port Christopher. The small country is home to a diverse population of various ethnicities and backgrounds. Port Christopher has an extremely high population density especially around the coastal areas.

The colony was established as a trading post in 1879, when the then, Eastern Ossorían Empire, were looking for a way into the Esportivan market. The wealthy polyarchy of merchants swamped to Port Christopher in a bid to take advantage of this situation.

At the time the Ossorí government came under heavy criticism for their treatment of the native population. Many of whom it is believed had their homes destroyed and were either sold into slavery or died from disease and hunger as their fields were dug up for cash crops. General Lewis Home-Christopher, who the colony is named after, is still a controversial figure in Schottia today for the methods he used in securing the area.

The Port Christopher merchants quickly became some of the richest in what were the beginnings of a Schottic maritime empire, taking over from where the previous administrations had left off. The new colony flourished along with the EOE at this time and was another hub to new enlightenment and developments in science, education, literature and philosophy. The City of Port Christopher became the Empire's second city and one of the richest Tyranan ports.

Squad information
For the first time, since the small Schottic territory began competing in the World Cup competitions, it will be without the services of manager Jimmy Mitchel. The Willox Street Pirates boss had been at the helm during both the last two campaigns, and has had modest success. Taking over from him is former internationalist Jim Reid, who was pivotal in the team's creation four years ago. Reid has already had a chance to cut his managerial teeth when his side travelled to Semarland to take part in the second Trindl Cup, where the team held their own against some much higher ranked opposition.

In the World Cup Qualifiers Port Christopher had their best run to date, racking up 18-points, more than double their haul from last time. Most importantly to the manager however, will be the fact that they managed to stay in the race for second place, right up until the last couple of fixtures.

The biggest difference in Reid's approach seems to be the switch from a 3-5-2 formation to more of a traditional 4-4-1-1, giving the Christopheran wingbacks a shot at international football for the first time. Regarding personnel, there are not too many changes from last time round and their will have been few people surprised when Robert Wessel and James Del Vertio started as the new centre back pairing, or that experienced keeper Carus Laxium would start behind them. Anderiz of New Saint Johns grabs the number-two jersey, making a long awaited debut in his preferred position. While the left back role is handed to 16-year-old Dundee prospect Liam Goncalves, who has shown amazing strength and pace last season as he helped his side to promotion.

The midfield is the same, but just in a different order with Moritz Wessel switching to the attacking midfield role, where he will perhaps be more comfortable. PCSL-Player of The Year, Aredhel Neil slips into his old position on the right, where she performed reasonably well at Trindl. Skipper Diego Bandos and Marinos Thimpodopoulos Ladies star Eliza Rivera start in the central roles, with rapid winger Tim Maitfield on the left.

The switch in formation has seen Franz Müller drop out of the first team, as Tony Uist leads the line in a new one-up-front formation. Port Christopher have often had the problem of a paper thin squad, when it comes to seeing out the qualification campaign, so Reid will be keeping his fingers crossed that they can do better this time round. On the bench, the likes of Müller, Ross Jameson, Dietmar Koenig, and Jacques are all effective players, but it is in defence that they may start to experience problems.

--------------------

Home -- Reverse -- Away

-------------------

---The Squad---

GK: Carus Laxium, 29 Arla Swans

Height: 192cm Weight: 87kg
Laxium is strong and reliable keeper with many years of experience in Christopheran League. Not a native of the state, however after nine years living in the country, he qualifies for this Port Christopher side. After a move to FC Padan in Lutine turned sour, he is now Fidran club The Arla Swans.

RB/M: Anderiz, 22 New Saint Johns

Height: 169cm Weight: 67kg
The Saints defender is on of the main reasons his side have performed so well over the last two seasons. Anderiz has won a huge list of admirers with his cruching tackles and forward runs.

LB: Liam Goncalves, 16 Dundee

Height: 180cm Weight: 68kg
The 16-year-old could be the next big thing. A fast left-back who likes to get to the opposition by-line, he was a big factor in Dundee earning promotion to the SPL last season.

CB: James Del Vertio, 33 Sarrburgh Town

Height: 180cm Weight: 75kg
James Del Vertio is widely regarded as the best defender in the Christopheran league. He is a composed individual, and distributes the ball well.

CB: Robert Wessel, 28 FC Soessch

Height: 190cm Weight: 88kg
One of New Dundee Star's Wessel twins, he and his brother Moritz are a mainstay of their club. The sons of Schottic North Island migrants, they have lived and played in Port Christopher all their careers. Robert Wessel is a big goal threat coming forward for set-pieces.

CM: Diego Bandos, 28 Willox Street Pirates

Height: 177cm Weight: 74kg C
Captain of the team, Bandos is a quick and dynamic player who combines silky passing with robust tackling. He has been branded as the poster boy for this squad, and will have to handle the weight of a nation's expectations on his shoulders.

CM: Elisa Rivera, 27 Marinos Thimpodopoulos Ladies

Height: 167cm Weight: 63kg
Sarrburgh Town have never quite recovered from the loss of Rivera when she left to join Schottic side the Warriors. She will probably play in the most advanced role of the midfield-three, and is great with the ball at her feet, a short crisp passer of the ball.

RM: Aredhel Neil 24, Blue Coast 1981

Height: 164cm Weight: 72kg
A complete midfielder, Neil is one of the more exciting prospects in this Port Christopher squad. She impressed fans by turning down an offer to play for the Schottia U-21 ones just before DBC 32, opting to stick it out when rumours of a Christopheran national team were in the air. Her and former Blue Coast teammate Tony Uist, are two of the most exciting players in this squad.

LM: Tim Maitfield, 25 Polaris

Height: 179cm Weight: 77kg
Maitfield is your typical right footed, left sided midfielder. He is most effective with his head down running at the defenders with pace. He scores regularly for his club, cutting in of the left and unleashing some ferocious strikes.

ACM: Moritz Wessel, 28 New Dundee Star

Height: 190cm Weight: 80kg
The other half of the Wessel twins, Moritz is very different form his brother. Tall and lanky he lacks his Brother's power, but he is a potent player in his own right. Capable of playing anywhere across the midfield his best position is just behind the strikers.

CF: Tony Uist, 24 Marinos Thimpodopoulos

Height: 179cm Weight: 76kg
Uist was the Super-League's top scorer three years in a row before joining Fleftic side Marinos Thimpodopoulos, in a 7 million deal. The former Blue Coast man represents the biggest goal threat for this side, and is one of the few top-class players in this starting eleven.

---subs---

GK: Donald Gordon, 28 New Saint Johns

Height: 185cm Weight: 80kg
Many might count him unlucky not to be in the starting line up, Donald Gordon is an agile and fast keeper.

CB: Lara Dixon 27, Willox Street Pirates

Height: 179cm Weight: 70kg
A regular first team player for the Pirates, Dixon may have to settle for a place on the bench in this tournament. She is a little different form the other defenders, and offers a bit more pace.

CB: Baxter James 32, Hollin

Height: 196cm Weight: 89kg
A giant defender, James is one of only two members of the squad who play outside of the Super-League.

RM: Jose Almedro 27, New Saint Johns Height: 190cm Weight: 80kg
Tall, powerful and lightning quick, Almedro is someone who can be brought on to influence the game if things aren’t going to plan.

LM: Tom Popescu-Black 24, New Saint Johns

Height: 183cm Weight: 76kg
A teammate of Almedro, Popescu-Black is one of the most highly rated midfielders in the league. He qualifies to play for Port Christopher through his maternal grandmother.

LM: Rachel Del Arro 18, Samaj FC

Height: 173cm Weight: 57kg
Del Arro broke into the Handon United team last season making several appearances from the bench. A typical Christopheran winger, she is small, quick, and agile. At only 18, she is definitely one for the future.

CM: Hector Berg 26, Sarrburgh Town

Height: 189cm Weight: 81kg
Some will have been surprised to have seen him starting on the bench, however this is perhaps down to his club's lowly league position. A tall, powerful, holding midfielder, Berg is also capable of some more subtle play.

CM: Miller Icacic, 26 Kelsy Merchants

Height: 182cm Weight: 79kg
One of the more surprising names in the squad, but he has had a great season with his club the Kelsy Merchants. The central midfielder is a tall and athletic player, who is not afraid to shoot from distance.

CM: Dietmar Koenig 28, New Dundee Star

Height: 180cm Weight: 76kg
Like Berg, the Stars captain will perhaps be disappointed to have to settle for a spot on the bench. Everyone will be expecting to see him feature heavily though, as his skill and passing ability are legendary at his club.

CM: Len Oban 28, Sarrburgh Town

Height: 177cm Weight: 71kg
Since making the switch from Tralend to Sarrburgh, the midfielder has proven himself at a higher level, and is very much deserved of this call up. He is a great passer of the ball and always among the goals, over the course of the qualifiers he will surely be called upon.

CF: Jacques 20, Christopheran Porty

Height: 179cm Weight: 68kg
Despite being capped for Schottia at U-21 level sixteen years ago, no one has been more instrumental in setting up the Port Christopher national team than Big Jim Reid. A powerful, no nonsense striker, he has been given the honorary title of squad captain.

CF: Ross Jameson 25, New Dundee Star

Height: 178cm Weight: 75kg
Jameson is heading of to join New Dundee at the end of the tournament. The 24-year-old got everyone talking with his goals for Kirston Eagles, helping the semi-pro side to a respectable league finish.

CF: Franz Müller, 29 Willox Street Pirates

Height: 185cm Weight: 77kg
A cultured striker who has been at the sharp end of football in Port Christopher for a decade, since joining from Schottic side FC Soessch. He is a player who combines traditional number 9 qualities with a broader skill-set.

Schiavonia announce their squad for Cup of Harmony 66

After a moderately successful return the international scene (they won three games), the Sloths (or, if you're Audioslavian, the Knobjockeys) make their first Cup of Harmony appearance in 24 years. Not much is expected of them, to be honest with you.

And the team? After being unrepresented for over half a century, a successful run to the play-offs for World Cup 68, the Sloths offered very little in their follow-up attempts at World Cups 69 and 70, when the squad became considerably more cosmopolitan, as Cafundelese and Garundi populations made their way to Schiavonia. Clearly, they didn't mix too well at first, but now they've spent 20 years together, they seem to be getting along a lot better. We think.

So who are the Sloths? Well, they're a relatively young and inexperienced squad with one eye on the future...

TEAM MANAGEMENT
Benny Sanderson (age 48)
The seventh generation of Sandersons to either coach or play for Schiavonia, dating back almost 200 years to Schiavonia's debut at World Cup 26. Though the first six genertions were all called Benny - Kenny got his name due to illegible writing on his birth certificate.

Tony Cueto (Age 54)
Tony was captain of the World Cup 68 & 69 teams, and is joint manager with Benny. Tony is the serious head alongside the more flaboyant nature of his co-manager. But just as they were such a good foil for one another in the Schiavone midfield, so too their personalities combine well in management. Oh, and they pretty much run the country in their spare time, too.

GOALKEEPERS
1) Viliaka O'Connor (Male, Age 30, Jungle Strike FC [Vilita] [Captain])
Viliaka is half Vilitan and, as a result, ages noticeably slower than the rest of the squad. Indeed, Viliaka is the only remaining player from the World Cup 68 squad, when he was only two years younger than joing manager Benny Sanderson. How does that even work!? Viliaka is now one of the top goalkeepers in Vilita, having just won a domestic double and staking a genuine claim for the Vilitan goalkeeper's position before the SFF came back onto the international scene. He'll be busy, but at least we have one player who oozes quality.
2) Howard Howard (Male, Age 25, Yellow Stars)
Goalkeepers in the Howard family love international football, and one has played for a different non-RPing newbie nation at every World Cup Schiavonia has not been present at. Indeed, Howard kept up that tradition last time around, keeping goal for Transpadana.
3) Ellie Lewis (Female, Age 15, Monarchs)
Young gymnast Ellie has been selected as third choice keeper on the basis that she is incredibly nimble and has great reflexes. Whether or not that translates into being able to stop a ball from entering a goal, we shall see.

DEFENDERS
CENTRE BACKS
13) Nega Pilue (Male, Age 30, Garundia Kickball)
Nega is of Garundi origin - a race noted for their unusual red skin tone and more aggressive demeanour. Though twenty years of co-habiting with Schiavones has helped calm down their savage ways somewhat.
12) Roger Lyku (Male, Age 25, Yellow Stars)
Roger Lyku is of third generation Schiavone-Rejistanian ancestry, from when Schiavonia was roaming the world. Being from karelan blood means that Roger is a natural choice in defence.
11) Henrietta Tomasson (Female, Age 23, Yellow Stars)
Henrietta is of third generation Schiavone-Vanorian (human) amncestry. After her club's surge to the SchiavOne title and almost qualifying for the group stages of international competition, she starts alongside her domestic playing partner.
14) Hugo Moises Winston (Male, Age 27, Petardos S/A Craw)
Another player who is of cross-national origin, being Schiavone-Cafundelese. But with a large percentage of the island being of Cafundelese origin, this is less of an unlikely family situation than his fellow central defenders.

LEFT BACKS
15) Kalko Ramao (Male, Age 22, Aerlo Sports [Semarland])
One of four squad members who have been playing in Semarland, and the only Garundi - these players will no doubt aid the Sloths to improve throughout qualifying.
17) Hannah Tarmey (Female, Age 30, Monarchs)

RIGHT BACKS
16) James Bell (Male, Age 21, Adjurgen [Semarland])
A second wing back playing in Semarland - hopefully they can adjust to the different responsibilities that come with playing in the Schiavone formation.
19) Brian Jones (Male, Age 18, Yellow Stars)
Young Schiavone-Audioslavian wing-back who considers himself less of a knobjockey than the rest of his team mates.

MIDFIELDERS
BALL WINNERS
21) Carlos Cueto (Male, Age 20, FC Jansberg [Semarland])
Son of manager Tony Cueto, Carlos has been expanding his football experience in Semarland. Though young, he has shown the leadership qualities seen in his father and is expected to be a lynchpin of the Schiavone team for some time to come.
24) Hilda Tilda (Female, Age 25, Yellow Stars)
Schiavones often give their offspring names which rhyme. They considerit an honour, rather than something that makes you sound a bit of a wally.

DISTRIBUTORS
22) Jenny Sanderson (Female, Age 18, Monarchs)
The next - eighth - generation of Sandersons in the Schiavonia national football team, and the first female. Expect Jeruselem levels of promisuity at times.
25) Trevor (Male, Age 31, Petardos S/A Craw)
Half-Cafundelese, half-Druidan. But as neither of those nations play international football any more, Trevor has ended up playing for the Sloths, as his family has been living in Schiavonia since Trevor was a baby.

CREATORS
23) Johnny Jones (Male, Age 32, Foxchester Raiders [Starblaydia] [Vice-Captain])
Johnny Jones was pushed out at Monarchs many years ago, and has since been playing in Starblaydia, where - like Viliaka O'Connor - he has aged at a different rate to his compatriots. His experience amongst a young squad could be key to the Sloths picking up a result or two.
26) Tony Jones (Male, Age 22, Yellow Stars)
Tony is to intellectualism what a hard boiled egg is to international football. And, as he's just starting out, he's even less to international football at this point.
27) Wilhelm Leau-Perreira (Male, 29, Petardos S/A Craw)

FORWARDS
RUNNERS
31) Godiva (Female, Age 19, Petardos S/A Craw)
Godiva was originally called Nubio Nunes, but she earned her nickname from riding around Craw naked on horseback. Has a strong friendship with Jenny Sanderson, and their personalities suit each other pretty well, too.
34) Nigel Blige (Male, Age 28, Monarchs)
The Blige family have played for Schiavonia for almost as long as the Sandersons, but are a lot less in-your-face about it.

STRENGTHS
32) Alan Adams (Male, Age 23, Blaze [Nephara])
When a nation is pinning it's hopes on a player they've found in the Nepharim Third Division - his team finished eighteenth last season, though did score plenty of goals - you know that they are really scraping the barrel.
35) Chris Hogan (Male, Age 19, Monarchs)
They call him the Hulk. Hooray for unoriginal alliteration.

FINISHERS
33) Alessandro Schiavone (Male, Age 21, FC Jansberg [Semarland])
Alessandro has been playing in Semarland, and hopefully his developing skills there will help him in spearheading the Schiavone attack. Fingers crossed, as there wasn't a lot of strength and depth as the initial squad went to press.
36) Winifred Chester (Female, Age 35, Yellow Stars)
Winifred's older sister Charlotte was first choice through World Cup Qualifying 68-70. Short of options up front, the team are plumping their hopes on it being genetic. Unfotunately, plumping seems to be quite a fitting word.

The lower numbers tend to be first choice in each position, but if you're picking a team for me, don't be afraid to include a few who are not. Set pieces are taken by the distributor, apart from penalties (and some direct free-kicks) which are taken by the finisher.

OTHER CHARACTERS

Jenny Jones - Chief commentator on SIBN's Sound of the Sloths and former head of the SFF. Jenny's knowledge of Schiavone and international football is second to none on the island. She is also the mother of Jenny Sanderson.
Kevin Smith - Jenny's co-commentator, who only has the job because his father runs the SIBN. Not the brightest tool in the shed, he can often be found blundering about Schiavonia being a pretty poor reporter. Has his moments, though...

Schiavonia re-started in international football with a population of just 700 and two clubs, but have now expanded to almost 9,000 with additions to their population from the nation of Garundia (red-skinned primitives who have unknown links to the original Schiavonia, their homeland was destroyed by a volcanic eruption) and a Schiavone ethnic population from the former Cafundéu. One of Schiavonia's original 46 islands then emerged from the ocean between Audioslavia and Thatius, thus giving the new Schiavone population - which had outgrown its tiny island home - a new place to live.

Schiavonia's return to the international stage has prompted them to order new kits from our friends at JMC in Krytenia. We hope you like them as much as we do.

Games in Schiavonia will be played at the King Francesco Stadium, Craw (Capacity: 63,000)

The King Francesco Stadium is named after the King of Schiavonia when they first entered into international sports almost 200 years ago. On the outside, it is a replica of Schiavonia's first ever national stadium, but under the surface, there are all of the trappings of a modern sporting arena. The new stadium is the home of Schiavonia's national team and domestic team 46ers, and has been built as a place for tourists to Craw to visit and take in a game as they tour the area on holiday. If your visiting team has a lot of fans, there should be plenty of room for them - Schiavonia's resident population is just one-seventh of the size of the stadium capacity, and people from all three corners of the island come to home games.

What else can we tell you about Schiavonia? The people are very friendly (sometimes, too friendly for their own good, and it can lead to gullibility.) They are incredibly honest, peaceful (apart from the Garundi players, who are noticable by their surnames ending in two different vowels) and play as fairly as possible (e.g. deliberately missing penalties if they believe that they have been awarded them incorrectly). They love a celebration. They live on a small island with a pleasant climate. They stem from a surprisingly range of ethnic backgrounds (helped by some of the "friendliness" and celebrations). And the new Schiavone-Cafundélese population are working to make Craw - the nation's largest settlement, with a local population of just 3,000 but with many well-paid, well-treated migrant workers who must buy in to the Schiavone way if they wish to keep their roles - into one of the top sun-seeking tourist destinations in the multiverse. The Schiavone Tourist Board, known as Visit Schiavonia, are sponsors of the team.

Right, all of that stuff on the form that needs dealing with. Schiavonia play with a +2 style modifier, and you can do what you like with regards to our matches. Although, if there's anything major going on, it'd be nice to consult the SFF's storyline department first. But really, though... Permissions? Where's the fun in those!?!

If the SFF think of anything else worth mentioning, you will be the first to know!

SULTANATE OF OONTAZ DERT LI NG
NATIONAL ASSOCIATION FOOTBALL TEAM

This is the first time that Oontaz Dert Li Ng will be participating in the Cup of Harmony. Oontaz got through undefeated in the group stage of the Baptism of Fire 61 but was knocked out in the round of 16 by Arioslavia. The nation is a mix of Muslims and Catholics, with the Mohammedans concentrated in the northern part of the country and the Christians living mostly in the southern islands. Despite a turbulent early history which saw both religious groups fighting constant wars and rebellions, by the time Abanhfleft came and "occupied" the nation in 1921, a general "peace" had settled between the two groups, and today both are content to consider each other as Oontazniks. Despite being a sultanate, the freedom of religion is valued by the nation, although it would be good advice to say that while the Catholics and Christians might be welcoming, even accommodating, to foreigners of strange new religions, the Muslims might not be so welcoming.

BASIC INFORMATION
Name of nation: Sultanate of Oontaz Dert Li Ng
Demonym: Oontaznik
Team colors: Green and white
Style modifier: -2.0 (Defensive this time around)
Formation: 4-2-3-1
Head coach: Emir Usamah Andrade (40 y/o, Oontaz Dert Li Ng)

STARTERS
GK: Septimio BARRANQUILLANO 27 y/o, Botafogo de Maranao

Maranao is renowned in Oontaz as being one of the best football academies, if not the best, in the country. It also has a reputation of producing good goalkeepers from its ranks. Unfortunately, Septimio is not one of those good keepers. Sure, he's decent, and can pull off a save that could be considered world-class, but for all intents and purposes, if he really was one of the good keepers, he would not be playing in Oontaz anymore, especially not for a mid-table side like Botafogo.

RB: Steven McCREERY 24 y/o, Sporting Wappinger

(Abanhfleft)
McCreery is what people in the sports industry call an "import," a foreign-born player who was convinced by the Oontaz Royal Football Association to play for Oontaz instead of the country in which he was born, Abanhfleft. McCreery had already played for the Fleftic under-18 and under-19 teams, but since he believed that he had no chance of receiving a call-up to the senior team, he decided to accept the ORFA's offer and play for Oontaz. He's allowed to do that because records have proven that his grandmother from his mother's side was Oontaznik.

RCB: Makhdoum MACARAIG 31 y/o, Locomotive Imgortur

(Abanhfleft)
Decent Oontaznik center backs can be hard to find, especially decent Oontaznik center backs in their early 30s or so, because in their day, attack was favored very highly over defense in the Oontaznik leagues, and therefore few 30-years-old-or-so Oontaznik defenders are actually any good at defending. Makhdoum Macaraig is one of those few rare defenders. His slow speed and ponderous build meant that he was never really suited to be anywhere near an attacking role, but that hasn't stopped him from having a good career at Abanhfleft's Locomotive Imgortur, which plays in the Fleftic Premier League. Perhaps there really are players who were meant to play in one league and not any other league.

LCB: Honesto CAMPANILLA 23 y/o, Gryphons Nubalochi

Sometimes it is lamentable that in a competition where experience and leadership would be most valuable in a back line, all that could be scraped up was a single slow defender who somehow made it big in Abanhfleft's top flight, and a bunch of young talent that could make it or break it at any day. Campanilla, or Estong as he likes to be called, has slightly more potential than the other defenders in the team, and he also has a slightly higher chance of being an actually good player than the others. Sure, he slide-tackles at every opportunity, and it is easy for an experienced forward or even midfielder to get him booked, but Estong only has to learn to not swing himself around like a mace and he could make it big like his big partner in the center, Makhdoum Macaraig.

LB: Sulaiman DIMACULANGAN 22 y/o, Real Altamarino

There are a lot of promising young defenders plying their trade in the Oontaz First Division, and it could even be said that Emir Usamah is spoilt for choice when it comes to good young fullbacks. But instead he decided to put one of the clumsiest, least reliable defenders from a recently-promoted team that was already flirting with relegation into the starting eleven, and the reason for that is simple: Sulaiman is from Clan Dimaculangan, and Emir Usamah is from Clan Andrade. Oontaz historians would know that until recently, Clan Dimaculangan was just an ordinary Oontaznik family, before being elevated by Clan Andrade into the royally recognized clans. Who doesn't love nepotism, eh? One can already imagine poor Sulaiman being bypassed by decent forwards as if he wasn't even there.

DM: Timothy SAN MARCELINO 24 y/o, Santos FC

Of course it wouldn't be a real Oontaznik football team if a Santos player wasn't there. And in this part of the team, it looks as if Emir Usamah has finally assembled a team capable of making it through the World Cup qualifiers with at least a few draws and maybe a win or two. SanMar, as he's called by Oontaz fans, is, as his position states, a defensive midfielder, meaning that his main purpose is to break up any attacks attempted by the opponents before they reach the pitiful defense and the sadly shocking goalkeeper. It's a job that he does well enough that he's earned a starting spot in the most prestigious team in Oontaz Dert Li Ng.

CM: Josef "Joey Boy" MACALACAN 26 y/o, Union Rheinburg

(Pridnestrovia)
Joey Boy is the classic box-to-box midfielder, balancing offensive and defensive duties and covering as much of the pitch as possible. Unfortunately, he has a tendency to focus on one specific duty for too long, and by the duty he could mentally shift himself from being an attacking player to a defensive player or vice versa, it's often too late, and the defense had been overrun by a competent opponent.

RM: Haider ZULFIKAR 26 y/o, Riuwiee United

(Abanhfleft)
Sometimes it can be such a shame when a good and promising player like Zulfikar ends up rotting on the bench, being unable to help his team even though he knows that he just might be the final piece of the puzzle that rescues a league campaign gone horribly wrong. Zulfikar was a member of the infamous Riuwiee United team that blew an eight-point lead at the summit of the Fleftic Premier League and turned it into an insurmountable five-point gap between first and third, where the Blue Tribesmen ended up to allow their rivals Arsenal de Releinthi to claim the title. Now, with the likes of Shinji Ikeda and Hamengkubuwono sold off or relegated to the bench, Zulfikar now has to show that he could be the change that Riuwiee and Oontaz Dert Li Ng needs.

CAM: Magomedun MANGUDADATU 28 y/o, Santos FC

Magomedun is about one of only two players on this Oontaz squad that could probably and properly be called world class. His ball distribution skills are to die for and are a treat to watch. Some have accused of being lazy and uncaring in games, but even though he may be quite a bit shit for the majority of the game, all he needs is to make that one telling pass to open up the defense and let his teammate through on goal and that's all there is to know about him. If only his teammates could convert the chances that he creates, then he could be a twenty-assists-per-season player.

LM: ZULFIQLI bin Alisher 23 y/o, Union Rheinburg

(Pridnestrovia), on loan from Arsenal de Releinthi

(Abanhfleft)
Sometimes, there comes a time that a team becomes so full of talent in the midfield that someone has to be dropped for the sake of the other players. Zulfiqli was... someone who had this happen to him. Everyone knows of Godric Wexler's reputation for finding and producing world class players from relative unknowns. He had done much the same with Zulfiqli, but unfortunately for the Oontaznik, his quality only appeared when Wexler had finally fixed his problems in his midfield. He knew that Zulfiqli would need starting minutes if he was to keep his spot in the starting eleven of the Oontaz national team, and that's why he was loaned to Pridnestrovia's Union Rheinburg. And now Zulfiqli's a vital component to the Eisern Union's surprise title challenge in the Pridnestrovian Super League.
IMPORTANT: This player should always be referred to as Zulfiqli since bin Alisher is a patronym.

ST: Juan Dominador "Ador" MACASPAC 35 y/o, Santos FC

It's telling of how much a country has "abandoned" their national sports programs if their best player is also one of the oldest in the squad. That said, Ador is definitely still world class even for his age, even though he may not be as quick as he was before, and it appears as if some of his magic shooting touch had left him. But even through all that, the man who made his debut for the national team fifteen years ago is still a force to be reckoned with, and his age and experience had given him the knowledge to outsmart and outmuscle his defenders. If only he could receive a pass with a good first touch like he used to...

RESERVES
GK: Pedro MACATARUNGAN 23 y/o, Malabon SC

(Abanhfleft)
"Macatarungan" means, in the Mayin tongue, "righteous" in the sense of "it is righteous". But there's nothing righteous about Pedro's situation right now. Everyone in the world (okay, just the Fleftic sphere of influence) thinks, nay, knows, that Pedro is one of the greatest goalkeepers of his generation. So why is he not starting for Oontaz, over the likes of Septimio "Bumbling" Barranquillano? Because Bumbling Barranquillano plays in Oontaz and not in Abanhfleft, and Clan Andrade and Clan Barranquillano are close. And there isn't even a "Clan Macatarungan", just the Macatarungan family. The Oontaznik clan system strikes again to their own detriment.

GK: Usamah ROBERTS-INGLES 19 y/o, Botafogo de Maranao

At least Botafogo's goalkeeper academy produced another good one. Unfortunately for him, he's both too young to be the national team's starting keeper, and he's also the son of a marriage between an Oontaznik and a foreigner, so discrimination is coming into play in here. But not by much, because he's so good and the other keepers are so... crap that Emir Usamah had no choice but to call him up even though both of them know that goalie Usamah won't get to play while Emir Usamah's the manager.

DEF: Alimuddin DIMAGIBA 30 y/o, Deportivo Mangudadatu

Alimuddin is probably the only reason why Deportivo Mangudadatu is still in the National League even though the team is basically relegation material. He's the only player on that team who looks like he still gives a f--- if the team wins or loses. All of the other players around him is his club look like they don't even care anymore, and it's a wonder why he hasn't asked to be transferred to another team. Maybe because he knows that only Mangudadatu's rivals, Racing Al-Ampatuan, would be willing to buy him for the inflated price that he knows that Deportivo will attach to him. If he has any fault in him, it's that he's too loyal to something and would not, could not let go even given time.

DEF: Zenofilo BATOBALANI 25 y/o, Racing Al-Ampatuan

It's not a real Oontaznik national football team if there isn't any player from Racing Al-Ampatuan in the roster, and Batobalani fits that role nicely. Al-Ampatuan used to be one of the biggest teams in Oontaz, constantly competing with Santos and Botafogo for titles and cups, but lately they've been on a bit of a decline, and now they're considered relegation fodder just like their traditional rivals, Deportivo Mangudadatu. Batobalani once had a future of being one of the greatest Oontaznik defenders of all time, and not just the present time but of all time. But instead of moving on to more prestigious teams and letting his talent get noticed, he decided to stick it out with the constant relegation scraps between Mangudadatu and Al-Ampatuan. Perhaps it would be prudent not to mention the loaded contract that he was given by the team owners, who have been accused of masterminding one of the greatest massacres in recent history, and also one of the biggest benefactors of the nation's endemic corruption culture...

DEF: Albert James DIMACATARUNGAN 26 y/o, Gryphons Nubalochi

Dimacatarungan's surname means "unfair" in the Mayin language, but this time, there's nothing unfair about his being on the bench. Dimacatarungan shouldn't even be anywhere near the Oontaz national team, but since he's a member of Clan Dimacatarungan, he gets a spot in the final roster. At least Emir Usamah isn't stupid enough to choose him over Estong Campanilla who, as said before, has, at least, a definite chance of becoming an actual quality player instead of Dimacatarungan, who is just plain shit.

DEF: Jericson SARIMANOK 20 y/o, Gryphons Nubalochi

Gryphons are currently the team with the best defense in the Oontaz National League, so it's actually no surprise that a lot of their defenders have been called up for national duty. What is surprising is that Jericson is not playing with the starting eleven and is instead languishing on the bench with the rest of the reserves. Oh, wait; there is a logical explanation for this: Oontaznik clan politicking. Emir Usamah does have to balance clan politics with creating the best Oontaznik team there is, and Jericson was just one sacrifice in many on the altar of clan politics.

MID: Thabo Mbokani KALIMANTAN 30 y/o, Duhblakk Rovers

(Abanhfleft)
Thabo probably wasn't expecting to be called up to the national team when Sultan Kudarat announced that they were finally going to be entering an international competition, and who could blame him? He's a 30-year-old defensive midfielder playing for a team that had just been promoted from the fifth tier of Fleftic football, so no one was definitely paying any attention to him... or was there? Clan Kalimantan is one of the oldest clans in Oontaz, and one of the most loyal to the House of Oontaz. Thabo went to Abanhfleft to escape Oontaz's clan system, but now, it seems as if the clan's found him once again...

MID: Ronson "Ronnie" RAMIREZ 22 y/o, Real Mikkaleth

(Abanhfleft), on loan from Riuwiee United

(Abanhfleft)
Georges Leblanc spent 5 million new penenks to get Ramirez from Real Altamarino to the May 26 Memorial, but it seems a little bit too soon to say if he's had any impact in the Blue Tribesmen, and Leblanc has seen it fit to loan Ramirez out to Real Mikkaleth, who will be making to make yet another promotion push next season. Ronnie is more of a winger than a proper midfielder, but since Oontazniks never really believed in investing in proper wingers, Ronnie can fill in for that central midfield role, but not as well as when he's deployed as a real winger. Still, at least he's got a chance of breaking through and becoming a good and decent player, unlike the majority of the rest of his teammates.

MID: Macario "Mac-Mac" CORTES 23 y/o, Inseperables FC

(Abanhfleft), on loan from Sporting Ceneisis

(Abanhfleft)
Yet another promising Oontaznik youngster lured away from his home by the prestige and glamour of the Fleftic Premier League. The good thing is that Emir Usamah is setting up the team for the future, meaning that he's getting the most promising young Oontaznik players and getting them playing time with the senior team, which he knows will eventually be replaced by the youngsters once the veteran players grow old and retire. At least his reasons for being on the bench are much more justified than the others: he's still a little bit too young to be playing in the first team, and Magomedun Mangudadatu is still the best in the game in his position as CAM, which is also Mac-Mac's favored playing position. At least he gets to learn from one of the best.

MID: Louis-Jean CORNILLAC 29 y/o, Admiral Porcusces

(Abanhfleft)
Louis used to be one of the brightest prospects in Oontaznik football history. He was to be that game-changing midfielder, the guy that could get out of trouble and tight spaces and set up attacks for his team. Unfortunately for him, a crunching tackle by Pridnestrovia's Shimon Gavrilyuk busted his knee and ended all that potential in him. Nowadays, he plays at a much lower level than others are expecting him to play, as a backup midfielder for Abanhfleft's Admiral Porcusces, a mid-table team if there ever was one. Emir Usamah calling him up to the national team probably involved a lot of wishful thinking on the Emir's part that Cornillac could possibly finally rediscover the form he was in before his life-changing injury, but seeing as the Emir barely even used Louis during the World Cup qualifiers, it's very unlikely that Cornillac will rediscover his spark in the Cup of Harmony.

MID: ABU NAYEF Ismailuddin 24 y/o, Pasargad Manitogoro

No one really thought much of Abu Nayef's inclusion to the national team since he was one of those players who was good enough in the league to get a spot in the national team, but not good enough to get a starting spot. But he's starting to earn a spot in Emir Usamah's team sheet, since he's turned out to be one of the surprise players of Oontaz's World Cup qualifying campaign. By now, he's a shoo-in for a spot on the bench, and if the going gets tough, he can handle a starting spot.
IMPORTANT: This player should be always referred to as Abu Nayef since Ismailuddin is a patronym.

FW: Eduardo ESTEVEZ 23 y/o, FK Torpedo Telgrad

(Arioslavia)
Eduardo is a decent striker for his age, and there's definitely room for him to grow and take up Ador Macaspac's mantle when Oontaz Dert Li Ng's star striker finally decides to hang up his boots. But it looks like this won't be the case, as Teofisto Abcede surprised everyone else and took over Estevez's spot as Macaspac's backup striker option. Still, there's no denying that Eduardo can become one of Oontaz's best strikers after the age of Dominador Macaspac draws to a close, but it's up to him to realize that potential. Santos FC sold him to Arioslavia's FK Torpedo Telgrad in exchange for Alexey Bulganin.

FW: Teofisto ABCEDE 24 y/o, Union Rheinburg

(Pridnestrovia)
At best, Emir Usamah thought that Teofisto would be the emergency backup worst-case-scenario striker that he would only have to deploy if both Ador Macaspac and Eduardo Estevez were somehow injured at the same time or otherwise indisposed. Instead, when the Emir decided to send out Abcede to give the lad some minutes in professional international football, Teofisto surprised everyone, even himself. No one ever suspected him of being such a good striker, having been languishing on the bench of Botafogo de Maranao for the majority of his senior career. Now, after his brilliant performances in the World Cup qualifiers, he earned himself a move to Pridnestrovia's Union Rheinburg, where they hope to utilize his talents for their first ever title push since 1988.

KEYSTONE ISLANDS NATIONAL FOOTBALL TEAM

The Lady Demons

GENERAL INFORMATION

Due to ongoing protests from the Armeian players against the Armeian Football Federation's leader, JK Lane, and the fact that a foreign manager was appointed, there aren't enough Armeian players available for selection to actually represent the country of Armeia. As a result, the foreign territory of the Keystone Islands is standing in for the Armeian national team that was invited, and they are competing in their first international competition. The Keystone Islands team was sponsored and paid for by the various clubs of WD1 in exchange for rights to sign the players if they perform well, which is why this year's squad is exclusively female.

The Keystone Islands have an Asian north and a more diverse South, with the North preferring Gridiron Football, one of the reasons that the Pacifica conferences are so successful at college football. Most of these players come from southern areas, or are Armeians that have played in the Islands for an extended period of time. Some of them are college players, but some are semi-pros. The Keystone Islands Football League lasted for a decent amount of time before folding two years ago, and only semi-pro leagues have risen while it has been gone. Many Islanders hope that this team will boost awareness about their league situation and lead to a second professional league.

Home Stadium: Bank of Loftus Stadium

Home Kit:

Away Kit:

STYLE: +3

STAFF/ROSTER

STAFF
The manager will be Mara Fuller, a former star goalkeeper for Lionesses and the current manager of FC 2.Strathaven. While some question her tactics and substitutions, Fuller is great at managing personnel, which was why before taking the Strathaven job she was a player-coach on the Armeian national team. Her assistants will be Dylan Shrewsbury and Liara Eriksson, her assistants with Strathaven, both of whom are former players. Eriksson is especially notable for spending her entire career with Southeastern and spearheading the dynasty that won seven titles in nine years.

ROSTER

STARTING XI

GK: Haddi Heimirdottir, 23, Southeastern
Isa Tangemen's backup at Southeastern is hungry to prove that she can be a starter. Previously played for the Illara West college team. Known by her teammates as being over emotional and a drama queen.

LB: Pala Gunnbjorn, 34, Athletic Illara
Doesn't have the speed that she used to, but still pretty smart and knows when to make overlapping runs. Might not fare well in Fuller's up tempo system.

CB: Jana Nguyen, 19, Indies University
The next big name player to come from Indies University. Extremely quick off the ball, can close down space better than anyone on the team. Shore United and the Forge Rangers are battling to sign her.

RB: Ariel Li, 26, AFC Center City
A defender from AFC Center City that's actually decent, what a surprise. An inconsistent starter in the past who may just fall out of this starting XI too.

CM: Kristvina Rojo, 20, Illara West University
Yes, she's related to the Rojo that you're thinking of. Mia Rojo's little sister hasn't been able to make it out of the college system, failing to make the cut after trying out for Hawks last season. Still a decent prospect with good passing skills, who Cruz Blanca might be interested in.

CM: Adrianne Lysander, 25, Hawks II
One of the oldest Hawks II players, Adrianne should be playing for the senior team but broke her arm twice in the past two seasons. Still recovering from those injuries.

AM: Skylar Lysander, 24, WFC Vorsaa
Adrianne's slightly younger sister is playing in the second division in Armeia, for WFC Vorsaa. Plays the more dangerous position of attacking midfield, and has a good nose for goal.

LW: Quinn Votto, 18, Hawks II
Hawks II has a solid recruiting base in the islands, as seen by young prospect Quinn Votto starring on the wing for them. She's a goalpoacher first and foremost, and a passing forward second.

ST: Veronica Abramsen, 22, Jerawen State University
The recurring trend of younger siblings continues with Vero Abramsen, who is unattached and last played for Jerawen State as a striker. Not really fast, but able to win battles in the air and push defenders out of her way.

RW: Tess Byquist, 20, Lionesses
The 20 year old Armeian left the national team to join the Keystone Islands national team pool, after training in Illara for most of the offseason and previously playing there. She has something to prove, considering that her career has gone downhill since signing for Lionesses.

BENCH:

TO BE ADDED LATER

RP PERMISSIONS:

Don't injure Vero or Rojo, if you kill our players, they're liable to retaliate and kill yours.

Bears Armed

‘The Bear-Belles’

National football organisation: ‘Bears Armed Association for Soccer’ (= ‘BAAS’).
(Chairbear: Urra SunBlesséd [former captain, and then manager, of ‘Bear-Belles’])
National anthem (for sports): ‘The Banner Green And Gold’.
Official supporters' organisation: 'Arri's Furry Army'.

After much debate, the BAAS decided that for the WC74 cycle they would carry out an almost complete replacement of their former squad, by bringing in new players drawn from this organisation’s ‘National Football Academy’ programme, keeping on just a single member of its former line-up (herself one of its youngest & newest players) who now serves as the team’s Captain. These youngsters might indeed have been relatively inexperienced to start with, they’ve now been learning & adapting quickly enough to become worth fielding in international competition. Each of them apart from the captain has a ‘sponsoring team’, for whose ‘youth’ squad or reserves they also sometimes play.
Yes, it still is an all-female team. As I’ve explained before, this is because the main ball-game that's traditionally been played in Bears Armed is actually a form of Rugby, but [for several reasons] the professional league for that sport is all-male and so some of the female players decided that switching to Soccer — and trying to establish a professional league for that sport for themselves instead — might be a viable alternative: They were right, because that professional league was founded shortly after WC44 and so has now been in operation for almost two eightSquareds of years.

All of the players are actual Ursines (i.e. anthropomorpic, bipedal Bears)], except for any whom I actually specify as being members of other ‘peoples’ instead. The Harr'aynau people are physically human (more-or-less, anyway, although inclined towards heavy builds & hairiness), but are spiritually & culturally Ursine instead.

According to Bears Armed’s timeline, this Cup of Harmony is taking place in 2125AD: The ages and lengths of experience given here are correct for that year.
Yes, these dates do still allow for the fact that a ‘time-loop’ meant that as far as Bears Armed was concerned the WC#66 & WC#67 cycles took place “simultaneously”.

Supervising Manager: Urra SunBlesséd [former captain, and then [during a previous period to this] manager of the ‘Bear-Belles’
(female Ursine, from the Sun Clan; played with the Belles from their Baptism of Fire onwards for a lonnng time – with her extended youthfulness eventually explained as being due to her having a TrueBear amongst her grandparents — before she became manager for the first time; called out of her retirement from professional football [during which she’s apparently been a ‘hero’ instead…] for the WC68 cycle in the hope that her guidance combined with the coaching skills of her old friend Ug-Ug would reverse the recent slide in the Belles’ fortunes; fur = honey-blonde, right-pawed)

Assistant Manager (Team) & Chief Coach: [/b]
Marra Fairbearrn _ female Ursine, from the Sun Clan; played for ‘NorthGate Nomads' (as a Lynchpin/Midfielder/ Forward/Winger, preferred position = wherever she was needed) for 16 years, and then spent one year as a coach on the NFA staff studying before the WC74 qualifying series began; age = 36, either-pawed, fur = white-blonde, very good eyesight even by Human standards, a bit on the small side by Ursine standards (only 6’3” tall) but makes up for this by being very agile & quick on her feet; has demonstrated tactical & leadership abilities, too. (She was also a member of the previous squad’s line-up, playing for them during the WC #71/72/73 cycles…)

Deputy Manager (Admin): Arrannna Redsmith
(female Ursine, from the ‘Redsmith’ Free Sept; formerly Deputy Manager of Wimbley Stadiuma; appointed in preparation for the ‘qualifiers’ stage of WC71; her duties include acting as the team’s ‘routemaster’, which means handling all of their travelling arrangements; age = 46, left-pawed, fur = light reddish-brown).

Doctor:
(female Ursine, from the ‘WhiteBear’ clan; age = 38, left-pawed, fur = light brown; already main medical officer for the NFA for 5 years before the start of WC74’s qualifiers, which is when she was appointed as the national team’s doctor.)

Physiotherapist: Tierra Smithurrs
(female Ursine, Clan = Redsmith [Free Sept] Kettar-Surra; age = 37, left-pawed, fur = reddish-brown & quite short; hired shortly before the start of WC72’s qualifiiers)

Chaplain, ‘One Plus Seven’: Mirra’a NorthStar
(female Ursine from the ‘Silver-of-Night’ Clan [and from the Northlands]; age = 45, left-pawed, fur = silvery-grey; assigned to this job, by the Great Medicine Society, just before the qualifiers for WC71; qualified as a Shabear and as a Dream-reader .)

Chaplain, Ursion: Jharge Jamms WhiteRose
(male Ursine, from Clan Redwood; age = 51, right-pawed, fur = light brown; formerly a deputy chaplain at National University (Academe), transferred to this post in preparation for the ‘qualifiers’ stage of WC71 after his predecessor here retired; he has a doctorate in Anthropology, from Miervatia University in the [human] nation of Mikitivity.)

Security Chief: Major Sheafh TrayFurr
(male Ursine, from Clan WestWoods; age =39, right-pawed, fur = blond; seconded from the Confederal Army, and has considerable experience of dealing with foreigners; appointed to this job [with promotion from Captain] in preparation for the ‘qualifiers’ stage of WC72.)

Caterers: Thorrntown’s Catering.

Roster

(#1) Marrana o Greenwoods _ Clan = GreenWoods, sponsoring team = 'Barrdenn Barbariennes', 3 years NFA experience before the WC74 qualifiers; position = Goalkeeper; age = 21, left-pawed, fur = medium brown, noted for fast reflexes but not a particularly fast runner.

Opponents may _

RP injuries to my players / Godmod injuries to my players / Hand out Yellow cards to my players / Hand out Red cards to my players: Y to all, at least to start with, but remember what I've written here and keep it in limits accordingly... Any serious offences by my players would probably result in injuries to your players, and causing any serious injuries to my players would probably require such obviously-deliberate attacks that your players would get yellow or even red cards as a result too. Don’t kill anybody, or inflict injuries that would be serious enough to end careers, without checking with me & getting my approval (which is unlikely to be granted…) first.
Godmod Other Events: Y, I suppose, at least as long as you do so in an AMUSING way... but please remember that Ursines are fully sapient beings, as much as Humans are, not instinct-driven animals. Oh, and of course female Ursines are not sexually interested in Humans (of either sex), and it's very unlikely that female Harr'ayanau would be either. Please don't have them run amok or outright revert to animality, without checking by TG first, don't make assumptions about their views on politics or religion, and don't do anything that would make more than one of them incapable of playing in their next game...

Kit: This incarnation of the team will normally wear the usual set of designs (from ‘ediraf’) that the Belles have favoured in the past, with the ‘Association’ badges correctly staying ‘BAAS’ rather than [the now obsolete] ‘BAMAS’. See "here" for details.
Bears Armed has traditionally used base-8 arithmetic, for several reasons, and this has affected the set of numbers used for this team’s players: The numbers “10”, “22”, and “26” have been left unassigned out of respect for wearers who went to their deaths as heroines during various conflicts.

NOTES

Ursines may tend to be a bit less agile & slower to accelerate than humans on average, but this team's members were carefully selected so the gap between them & their opponents in this respect should be narrower than some people might expect. They do tend to have [slightly] poorer eyesight than humans, on the whole (although the members of both Clan Gunnar and the Sun Clan are generally an exception to this rule, and the eyesight of the latter group is actually often at [slightly] better-than-human levels instead), so long-distance passes & shots at goal will tend to be rarer behaviour for them than they are for human teams... but their typical size & strength mean that when they're running with the ball it will probably take a very brave human — as well as a very skilled one — to tackle them successfully (or, at least, one who has reasonable experience of playing against Ursines…), which should balance that factor pretty well. They don’t jump very well, but then they’re generally rather taller than most Human players to start with so they shouldn’t need to jump as often in order to intercept [relatively] high shots...
Ursines are physically robust, of course, which means that they're much less likely than humans are to suffer injuries in falls or collisions. The females of this species are more even-tempered than the males, and the team's members will try to stay on their best behaviour not only in order to do well in this contest but also to impress upon the watching humans that Ursines aren't just "dumb beasts". They will not 'dive', or feign injury in other ways, because suggesting that they could be harmed so easily goes strongly against the grain. ‘Northlanders’ are maybe not quite as "civilised" as the 'Mainlanders'… or, at any rate, that’s the traditional stereotype..
Cold weather should pose no problem to them, even if there's snow or ice on the pitch, but tropical heat might prove awkward...

Unless our hosts at the match in question object, this team's members (including the designated substitutes for the match in question) will perform a [fairly short] ritual that's called the 'harrdiharr' on the pitch just before play begins... This is a traditional war-dance, meant to over-awe opponents, that has come to be a customary prelude for team games as well (similar to the [RL] New Zealanders' 'haka'...). : )
As has now been seen during various tournaments, some of our fans like to take drums — and possibly also 'Urrs-horns' [which are similar to Alpenhorns, cow-horns, or other "musical instruments", too — along to the matches…

The team is accompanied by a number of sapient Ravens, who are there both to gather information about the rival sides and to provide air cover in case of hostile waterfowl.

Starting XI
Goal Keeper:Gerold Klempner - 30 y/o - #1 - Pincikalo City FC - Klempner has been the starting keeper for his club since its inception. His shot stopping ability has come in extra handy during penalties, but his distribution skills leave much to be desired. Pincikalo has felt both of these effects throughout the years. Many seemingly unstoppable goals have been saved, but he also has seemed to create those situations due to giving the ball away a little too often.

Although he is now one of the most famous and more skilled footballers in the East, it was not always this way. He grew up in a harsh home where his parents were alcoholics. Gerold struggled to find structure for years, but always found solace in football. Then, when the National Walkany Youth Academy noticed him, Klempner had his chance for a real life. He made spectacular performances, securing his name in the Academy for years. Once the ZFL was formed, Gerold was oone of the first signed to Pincikalo City's team and from there he has built his name as one of the greats. Now, Klempner wants to increase his fame on the international stage.

Left Back:Kaden Ilbert - 25 y/o - #2 - Azmarin United - Ilbert is a regular starter for his club and is always a contester for the Western Conference All-Star Team. He is a quick fullback that loves to get into the attack. Many claim he has the best crossing out of any player in the West, though he has more humble outlooks on his abilities.

Despite what the Zoronya media would leave you to believe, he is as unselfish as professionals come. He donates most of his pay check to charity and homeless shelters while also giving large amounts of his free time to serve the community of Azmarin. He visits his small hometown of München Bay less often than he likes, though still writes letters to his parents every week. Aside from all this, his cheerful personality make it easy to be around him, especially because he does not expect anything out of anyone. All of this makes him a hero back in Walkany, but all of the hard work off the pitch drains him.

Center Back:Alex Olivier - 22 y/o - #19 - Orrinshire City FC - He is a giant at the back for his team. Standing at six and a half feet tall (198 centimeters), Olivier is unafraid to fly into any challenge, which has sometimes given away penalties when they could have been prevented. Despite this, his almost over confident take on the game has many positive effects, such as the unwavering patriotism for his country. He believes truly deep down in his heart that Walkany can and will win the World Cup. This is somewhat infectious, though not quite as effective for others as it is for him.

Being born in Orrinshire is difficult due to the fact that it is now converted into a Zoronyan city which caused his father to declare himself a Zoronyan while his mother wanted to stay Walkian, forcing turmoil in the house. Alex was only just getting his bearings on this whole puberty thing when it happened, so he became confused which often caused problems within his school and home life. The constant arguing of his parents combined with the every other day fights at school with kids whose parents all declared as Zoronyan made life difficult. Everything seemed to cave in on Alex until he stepped onto the field. Whe he got out there suddenly everything would seem as if it would be alright. Many of the kids he fought were on the school football team, so it was no easy task to play, but Olivier enjoyed it nonetheless. This only made him a better defender, forcing Alex to use his height and willingness to battle it out to win every game while also keeping a positive attitude. At age seventeen, right after he graduated high school, the young center back was given a trial at Orrinshire's U-18 academy. Small though it was, the club managed to find some good players, including Alex, and began building a team. He and his fellow peers were brought up through the youth programs until they all recently graduated the U-21 team, giving them a first season in the ZFL. Although Alex Olivier is the only one to be called up, he and the rest of his class strangely named "The Boys" (supposedly for a classic rock song from old Walkany singer/songwriter Big Lazz that was played the day they graduated from the U-18's) all performed spectacularly, though the huge center half particularly stood out. His defensive performances are due to his background in "rough n' tough football", as he calls it, and even greater is his abillity to bounce back from mistakes, which happends to be another skill learned in the Zoronyan school system. Despite Alex's father divorcing his mother and leaving to go deeper into Zoronyan territory, the young man hopes that his dad seeing his performances on television will help them reconnect.

Center Back:Kennedy Kemp - 21 y/o - #14 - Misgan FC - "KK", or "Yakyak" in Walkian, is another product of the New Cresthill youth academies, though after seeing his potential, Misgan shelled out a large sum to have him. He has proven himself time and time again as a solid defender, but he can be somewhat of a hothead. Kemp also used to have a problem with handballs back in his U-18 days and the habit will pop back up during intense situations. The coaches from the national team love his physicality and aggressiveness which is one of the main reasons he was brought along.

KK's quick to anger attitude is from a childhood full of being bullied as the youngest of five boys in a small home. He had to fight for everything, even his chance to practice football before he was old enough to be accepted to the youth academy at age ten, which embarrassed his brothers (for the fact they did not get accepted despite trying out) enough to receive a harsh beating. This only strengthened Kennedy's need to fight, but according to his contract he could no longer do it off the field, so he began "roughing" players on the field, which for most people would diminish their chances of being selected for the next class several years down the line. However this ability done right made Kemp an invaluable player for his youth team, so he continued the practice to get where he is now.

Right Back:Cam Roach - 23 y/o - #5 - Westbridge FC - This full back is a menacing brute of a man that uses speed and strength to overpower more skilled opponents. He usually knows what to do with the ball, even if his lack of technical ability keeps him from doing most of it. He famously made a controversial hard tackle on rival player Rens Evyane Laar in the quarter final of the Zoronya Club Cupa year ago, stopping what would have surely been a goal, and then allowing Westbridge to counter attack and score the game winner. To some he is a hero, to others he is a villian. To him, he is just a football player. That game, along with many similar game changing events has earned him a massive reputation as an enforcer on the field, which many referees note before heading into the game.

No one knows much about Roach's background. He showed up to Westbridge's training during the off season five years ago and somehow convinced the coaches to give him a trial where he quickly earned him a spot on the team. Questions aimed towards his background usually end up with Cam giving the asker a cold stare or he ends the conversation then and there. It's said the board members and owners are the only ones who know, with efforts to keep his past on the down low. Rumor has it that he is not a native Walkian, that he is from a far flung country, but most consider it rubbish concocted by the media.

Center Defensive Midfielder:Niklas Short - 24 y/o - #6 - Southend Spartans - Niklas lives up to his last name easily. Being only 5 feet (152.4 centimeters), most think of him as weak and incompetent. This is exactly the opposite of who he really is. Short is very skilled with the ball, excellent at powerful long shots, and can muscle the average player off of the ball. Jumping, obviously, is not his strong suit so he makes up for it with his speed and agility. He also has a great eye for interceptions, making him crucial for the Spartans.

Some would say Short's background is quite boring, but a successful one. He played for the highly renowned Ranaeri United, a youth team that has been around since the beginnings of the Super Liga. Niklas was one of the best players on his team, earning a Player of the Year award in Ranaeri's district the year before he moved on to play for the National Walkany Youth Academy. From there he joined Southend, quickly earning his pay and becoming a major player at the club. This past season he was named to the Western All-Star team where he stopped substitute, potential national team player, and Linden Cuevas' brother, Roux Cuevas from scoring a game winning goal, making him the runner-up for the Man of the Match.

Left Midfielder:Paxton Casales - 22 y/o - #7 - Flirado United FC - Casales is a flamboyant wide midfielder that loves to run at the defense. His dribbling ability combined with his pace make him a player to be feared in the ZFL, though any defender that has above average strength can push him off of the ball easily enough. After a fantastic season with the Pine Martens and a wonderful World Cup Qualifying run, Flirado United snapped him up quicker than you could say transfer market. This past season, he was their second top goal scorer only behind Linden Cuevas and had the most assists in the Eastern Conference beating out Ezekiel Mata by a single pass. It made him a standout player in the ZFL and another easy choice for the national team.

Not many can say they have had an upbringing as exciting as Paxton's. At age four, he traveled around the region with his family. Two years later, his mother took him on a sail boat, teaching him all there is to know about them, and then they went on a three month voyage. At eight, he made a peak attempt on the Exewrale Mountains in Western Walkany with his father. Once he turned twelve and discovered his passion for football, he began what turned out to be his career. Casales rapidly gained a foothold in the footballing world, being discovered quickly by the dual owned Twin City and New Cresthill Youth Academy, yet he was over looked for selection when the rest of the U-18's came around. Due to the strict rules of the dual ownership, the Pine Martens had no say until New Cresthill had looked everyone over. This gave them the chance to sign him, but they still did not until a year later when he was given a U-21 contract for the Twin Cities. Then he flew through the ranks, impressing in every outing, earning his spot on the team.

Right Midfielder:Ezekiel Mata - 23 y/o - #8 - Flirado United FC - Mata is mostly known in Zoronya and Walkany for his flashy lifestyle, but precise passing and a good eye for when and where to make a run keep him on the footballing radar. He loves to pass the killer ball which has resulted in him having the highest amount of assists in the ZFL Eastern Conference for two consecutive years before Paxton Casales disrupted his run by one pass.

Ezekiel lived in a sheltered home where his single mother tried to protect him from the troubles of the world. Despite years of this, he managed to play plenty of football even though it was only on his school team. For every one of his four varsity football years, he was named to the All-Regional team and in the last two he had the highest number of assists in the nation. Mata quickly gained renown as a fantastic playmaker and was a target for a number of teams, but his hometown of Kings City offered him a nice contract to their U-21 semi-professional team, which he promptly took. Ezekiel began enjoying his new found freedoms away from home maybe a little too well, earning himself a reputation as unpredictable and possibly even unstable. Although he had troubles with police, as well as an occasional discipline issue, Ezekiel played for them only two years before Flirado United, a team located directly across the Zoronyan border, offered the young man a large contract to play for them. So, at the age of nineteen, Mata joined one of the best teams in the Eastern conference where not only his career took off, his attitude got better and he was able to appreciate freedom from a sheltered home without causing trouble.

Center Attacking Midfielder:Rafe Mingo - 25 y/o - #11 - Flirado United FC - Mingo is the second big signing for Flirado after he had an amazing time in World Cup Qualifying. He loves to have the ball passed to him and he loves even more to pass it, though he often stays deeper than his normal central attacking position. His pace makes up for his lack in strength, though he is more than willing to challenge any player for the ball. There is not much to say about him other than his extremely laid back lifestyle on and off the pitch which has earned his last name a new meaning:Seoyepera Setehoneera, which literally means 'super stoner'. This might also have to do with his long, unkempt hair and beard style.

Rafe's laid back lifestyle comes from years of living on the most visited beach in Walkany, the Snow Sands. He loved to surf, swim, and relax on the beach every day he was not out playing football. Mingo dropped out of school very early to pursue a career in surfing, a sport in which he excelled at. He has won several national surfing competitions, including the most recent edition, while also playing football professionally strangely as a way to support his career. Many people, as well as his family, love Rafe for his down to earth attitude, but think he could become one of the greatest Walkian midfielders in history if he were to put his mind to it. Mingo will not though, insisting that his love for surfing cannot be overcome by his passion for football, even if he knows that he could be one of the best. For him, it is a blessing and a curse, yet he looks at it all the same: it is what it is.

Left Striker/Captain:Linden Cuevas - 28 y/o - #9 - Flirado United FC - Cuevas was the highest goal scorer this past season in the ZFL, scoring thirty-four goals in thirty games to win Flirado the ZFL final. He also led the team in goals in the Zoronya Club Cup where he scored ten goals in only six games and half of those appearances were off the bench. This record also won his team the ZCC, defeating power house New Cresthill in the final three-two, thanks to a Linden Cuevas hat trick. His skill as a striker and a leader have kept him as the national team's captain since the beginning of Qualifying and now, a year later, he aims to help bring the Gators to Cup of Harmony glory.

Linden was originally going to join the Walkian military , like everyone in his family before him, before the government cut off any funding making it totally dependent on contracts with government regulated businesses. Confused, but determined to make something out of his life, he began playing football for the semi-professional team Wandelaar Cosmos. At only age eighteen, Cuevas earned a reputation as a great goal scorer, a reputation that spread faster than he could imagine. Within weeks of making his debut for the part-time club, Linden was contacted by a number of Zoronyan clubs, looking for his signature. After several trials with the likes of Alabimi, the Pine Martens, and even New Cresthill, he decided on signing with Flirado United, a team that not only promised good football, but a comfortable setting as well. During his years at the U-21 facilities, the striker made a large impression as a leader, though was not handed the captain's armband until half a decade into his senior team career. He earned that position through blood, sweat, and tears. It was something the club was happy to give to him for years of hard work that helped raised the club to its current reputation.

Right Striker:Kenyon Rios - 21 y/o - #10 - Giinesville FC - Rios is the biggest rival striker to Cuevas forcing the two of them to battle each season out for the top goal scorer position. Despite Rios' age, his four years of playing have given him plenty of experience. He excels at free kicks and penalties, though often times will crack when under pressure from a confident defender. A third of his free kicks were converted to goals throughout the past four seasons. Giinesville is, according to the ranking system, the second strongest team in the Eastern Conference, yet cannot seem to beat Flirado, their biggest rivals. They have lost every game to them for the past three years, resulting in many dips in form throughout their seasons.

Kenyon Rios hails from the bustling city of Stern City where he lived very poorly, but was brought up well by his single mother. In school, he was often pointed out as the poor kid, but he never let it keep him down. At only age eight, the National Walkany Youth Academy offered him a spot in their ranks and the Rios' family gladly excepted. The only issue was that his mother had to work twice as hard to provide for her only son and even had to accept help from other parents at the club, something she did not take lightly due to her intense pride. Despite the hard ships, Kenyon became a fantastic footballer that was quickly signed to Giinseville FC at age fifteen where he played on the youth team for two years before joining the senior squad to make his debut.

Substitutions
Goal Keeper:Toller Pauliño - 20 y/o - #12 - New Cresthill FC - The young goal keeper is a product of the advanced New Cresthill youth academies. He played for several years on Cresthill's reserve team and has even made a half dozen appearances in the ZCC. Good work ethic has been the driving factor in his success. This has impressed many of the older generation who believe that work ethic is being replaced due to the immediateness of technology. The young goal keeper has made huge leaps and bounds towards becoming the next Walkany goal keeper, yet Gerold Klempner still has years left on him and looks to be the starter for years to come.

Toller's work ethic possibly comes from growing up in northern bustling port city of Wharftown where his father was a dock worker and his mother an oyster tonger/shucker. Both of these jobs required at least ten hours a day, especially his mom who often asked her only child for help. Out on the boat, in the only place in Walkany where oysters were still tonged, the air could be freezing cold, with rain, hail, or strong winds capable of knocking most people over, but they were expected to get a minimum of four bags in a day and have all of them shucked by the sunset. Toller grew up his entire life working this hard almost everyday, receiving little in the way of a formal education, but he was able to play football most nights with the guys from the docks. It was a mixed group of ages, some old enough to be Pauliño's grandfather, others around his age, and then everything in between. Although the adults were rough enough that they usually did not let the children play very long, Toller overcame by finding little tricks to beat his bigger opponents. This aggravated everyone bigger than he, so they put him in goal where once again he found techniques in how to play, further frustrating the adults. Despite their anger, they saw his strengths as a good goal keeper so they continued to put him there before a man in a suit came and found him. He stood at the edge of the field for hours until everyone stopped playing to go home and that is when the scout approached Toller and his father. From there, the Pauliño family moved to New Cresthill so their son could pursue a better life than past generations. At only age thirteen, Toller joined one of the most renowned schools in Zoronya, hoping to bring his family some financial security and comforts that they had never known.

Center Back:Kenith Sams - 31 y/o - #3 - Heartpuddle FC - The veteran of Walkany town and Zoronyan club, has not aged well. He is not as fast or strong as he used to be, but his experience makes up for all of that. Sams can usuallly tell what an attacker is going to do with the ball, giving him time that he could not make up for otherwise.

Kenith Sams often runs into trouble with the media through his bad choice of words. This comes from years of saying it how it is and not caring what anyone thought, though it has also earned him some friends, like Grayson Rains. Kenith grew up in Heartpuddle as a fan of the club and would often sneak into the end of games when they would open the gates up for people to leave early. This built loyalty for him to the club and eventually it became a driving factor for Kenith to train hard enough to join the club. He joined the club at the same time as his now legendary teammates Vipond Barnabas and Grayson Rains. From there, the three of them brought the club to glory.

Center Back:Grayson Rains - 32 y/o - #4 - Heartpuddle FC - Rains and Sams are a perfect team, making a stone wall defence at the back for Heartpuddle. Their teamwork makes a difficult challenge for any attacker, though neither of them are physically very strong or fast. Rains is a strong leader and knows how to organize at the back, which will come in handy with the younger defenders on the squad.

His leadership comes mostly from having to take care of his younger siblings in a bad neighborhood after his parents left. For years, Grayson had to provide for them while also going to school and keeping them out of trouble, yet he still managed to practice football as often as he could. Eventually, his sister and brother were both adopted, but by that time he was too old to be considered. Before he slipped into the slippery slope of crime, a scout for Heartpuddle FC found him and within days had him signed to the U-18 team. Weeks following the signing, Rains became the U-18 captain. After years of service in the U-18's and U-21's, Grayson became the young but capable captain of the senior team and from there he became one of the most legendary defenders Walkany has ever known.

Center Defensive Midfielder:Franky Pitts - 20 y/o - #20 - Flirado United FC - Pitts is a technically gifted youngster that graduated through the Flirado Youth Academy to the U-18 team and then the U-21 team. He has made several appearances for the senior team and has impressed in each of them. The national coaches were very excited to have such an excellent player on the squad, but the only thing keeping him from starting is his lack of physical ability. Maximus Pax, the fitness coach, will have a jolly good time training him.

Franky came from a bad neighborhood, but lived with a good foster care family. He never knew his parents and was often teased for it. Much like Rens Evyane Laar, Pitts was not physically very capable. This only hindered his early years as most kids began hitting puberty, Franky was unable to defend himself. This was especially apparent in football games where he was pushed around the field like a ragdoll. Eventually he knew that to defeat his foes, he would have to increase his skill, so for six hours a day he dribbled, juggled, and took shots. Now, he looks back at those lessons with a pride that few others know. Franky learned lessons in his early years that he will use for the rest of his life and he will definitely need these on the national team.

Center Attacking Midfielder:Meyaoyrae'iezeiho Moore - 23 y/o - #21 - Red Reservoir Rangers - Moore graduated from the Rangers' U-21 team just after the new national team coach left the club. Adama still had a good look at him though and remembered the quality and leadership he brought to the young side. The coaches are hoping that someday he will make the next great Walkian captain. He has good ball control and specializes on headers, but is very one-footed.

Moore grew up in the very well off neighborhood of Simpraemaie Vale where he learned the life lesson of hard work. Along the road, he realized that his work ethic was stronger than all of the other young adults on his youth team. This led Moore to attempt to train other athletes similar ways that he was taught. Although this often led to many broken friendships, it educated him on the ways of being a leader. His leadership has been a driving factor in his quick rise through the ranks of the Rangers.

Striker:Toño "The Hog" Ebeeesyake - 19 y/o - #17 - Gloucester City - This young prodigy is looking to become the next super star of Walkany. For the past two seasons, he was named to the U-21 Western Conference All-Star team. He still has much growing to do physically and skill wise, but he is still leaps and bounds ahead of other strikers. Although Toño can be somewhat of a ball hog, which has cost Gloucester City many goal scoring chances throughout his career so far, he creates very entertaining football. The fans love to see him run with the ball, even if it means a defender winning it back. They anticipate Toño's quick cuts and wild shots from inside the box, but rue those moments during games against stronger opponents when team work is key to winning.

Toño's big head comes from years of being told he is the best. Of course he was in the Gloucester Youth Academy, out scoring every other player there for every year he attended the school, but it did no good when he arrived on the senior team. His first and currently only season in the ZFL has been filled with triumph though also plenty of despair. Gloucester has performed remarkably well and could have done better if Hog had just made a pass here or there. Throughout his youth career, Toño has done this, making a notably less amount of passes than other strikers because he could dribble past the younger, less experienced defenders and score just as easily. Though once he found out that senior team players are rougher, tougher, and plenty better at defending, a lot of his talent went to waste. Although The Hog found himself being reprimanded after games on more than one occasion due to his lack of passing, he continued to do what he thought was best. His dribbling talent ended up with some spectacular goals, but very, very few assists. Despite his apparent weaknesses, Adama has decided to bring him anyway, possibly hoping to curve his declining potential into an upwards motion. Many believe he can be the best striker in Walkany and Zoronya. Now Toño has to take that chance, or for ever be known as The Hog.

Coaching Staff
Head Coach:Adam Adama - 55 y/o - "Double A", or "Eedhooyeblee Ya" in Walkian, was the coach of Eastern Conference ZFL team Red Reservoir Rangers for almost eight successful seasons before his downfall in the last. He battled each year for the title, winning his Conference on three separate occasions and even defeated New Cresthill in the ZFL Final the year before his "Season of Doom" where the Rangers went 5-3-19, ending up in tenth place. After that he was sacked despite having two years left on his contract. He was then hired on as the national team manager after a sabbatical. He is the kind of coach that is not afraid to scream and yell at his players. Adama has even been known to get in minor physical altercations at half time in the locker room, though his former team rave about the psychological effect it has. Adama comes from a middle class background (when there still was one in Walkany) where his family took one of two routes: college or military. His apparent physical weakness made his road an obvious choice, one that was also easier considering his very high IQ. He received a PhD in Civil Law, hoping to someday become a judge. Adam was on track for his chosen career before he one day was arrested, and soon he was tried, and then proven guilty for a crime that he did not commit. Due to this, his chances of becoming a judge were slim to none, so he turned to his life long passion of football. It was something he always had an interest in, but could never compete with other players because of his physical problems. Although Adama struggled to learn skills as well, he learned the tactical side of the game faster than anyone he has ever come across. His high IQ, combined with naturally high man management skills, made Adam a perfect choice as a football coach. His first and so far only team as a head coach was with the Rangers, but he has also been an assistant coach for Heartpuddle FC for three years, and served as an agent for several Super Liga players before the league collapsed.

Assistant Coach:Micky Meeieesyakew - 46 y/o - Micky was a former player in the Super Liga and has been an assistant coach for several successful teams, including New Cresthill and the Austen Argonauts. He enjoys his job, though sometimes he is too cheerful for the Head Coach's pleasure. Most players like his attacking approach to the game and will listen to him even when they think they are right. His profound tactical knowledge comes from years of playing football for old Super Liga club Walkany City's youth and then senior team. He was a top notch striker before he tore his ACL at the age of twenty-six, consequently ending his career as player in the most competitive environment in Walkany. From there, he became one of the team's youth coaches, starting the next section of his great career. He coached for a decade, rising through the ranks to become City manager Grinning's right hand man before the Super Liga collapsed. After an embarrassing last season which would have seen his team relegated, Micky changed his name to what it is now, from John Wendel, in an attempt to escape the media. Later, once the ZFL was established, Micky took up coaching again first with Heartpuddle FC's youth team before moving on to the bigger, well funded teams.

Assistant Coach:Rimmer Reynaldo - 51 y/o - Reynaldo specializes in the technical side of the game. He helps every player with whatever skill they need to learn and loves to show off his impressive free style skills to the younger lads. His previous job was as an assistant coach for Alabimi City FC before taking the offer as a coach for the national team. One of his bigger contributions to the team, aside from the previously mentioned, is his team building exercises. These occur about two times a week and usually involve a collaborative project based on previous team performances. Although some of the players despise the activity, such as immature, hot head Kennedy Kemp and the young strikers, the rest of the team enjoys it. It has healed old wounds, while also solidifying friendships. Now many former enemies, like Cam Roach and Rens Evyane Laar, are strong teammates, even if they are not yet friends. Despite not playing football professionally, Rimmer dazzled spectators in free style competitions across the country to earn his name as one of the greats. That was also how he made his living for years before a tragic fall off of a tight rope while balancing a ball on his head. He came out mostly unharmed, but shaken to the bone and unwilling to go to the same heights (no pun intended) as before. Instead, Reynaldo followed Adam Adama's advice, who was and still is one of Rimmer's closest friends. The still young man took up coaching with a youth academy and helped create several astonishing young prospects, though most of the children under his tutelage grew up to be free stylers, attempting crazy stunts while performing tricks, just like their coach. This became his passion, where he offered endless hours to the academy to ensure that everyone of the young players would have a chance at professional football, even if it was not what they wanted to do for a living. Once the ZFL was created, he was immediately offered a coaching position with New Cresthill FC to help develop the U-18 players. After only half a year, Reynaldo canceled his contract, to great financial and emotional cost. No one is sure why he left, but the rumors flew like they do and he was in the middle of it. Seeking some solace away from it all, Rimmer went back to his hometown of Alabimi for a sabbatical from football while working for his uncle's newspaper as an editor. When Alabimi City FC realized he was home, they offered him a contract as an assistant coach to the senior team. Rimmer gladly took the position, returning to his obsession with a new zeal.

Assistant Coach:Athan Matis - 40 y/o - Matis is usually a goal keeper coach, but also helps the coordination from the man between the sticks and the defense. He knows when and where every player should be while defending the goal, though his approach is much more aggressive than most coaches prefer. He was hired on from Cicitta FC's coaching staff, where many praised his abilities to motivate the weaker side into ten consecutive clean sheets this past season. He started his footballing career trying out for Sand Spurs United after graduating college. Despite not making it past the first trial day, Athan continued to work at his profession while also taking a job as an assistant coach for his alma mater. Almost a full year after his tryout with the Spurs, he earned a trial with White Basin United where after beating out ten other potential goal keepers, Matis was offered a reserve team contract. After half a decade of competing for a spot on the first team, Athan earned his chance in a Minor Liga Kopa game against the Kings Estate Troopers. In a terrible outing which saw the new keeper concede seven goals and then receive a red card in the seventieth minute, Matis' contract was ripped up and he was told to go on his way. He attempted trials with several other teams throughout the rest of his twenties, including much coveted side Moonderland City, but he just did not have the skills that coaches were looking for and no one was looking to develop an older player. Already going up in his years, the "veteran" footballer was not offered even potential trials for any Liga team, so once again he took up coaching with his former college team. After the ZFL was formed, Athan eagerly began looking for a coaching position. He managed to get his first job with the Harley Palace Knights where he helped develop Aron Mariana into a starting goal keeper. From there, the renewed coach found only one other successful position with Cicitta FC before joining the national team.

Physio:Kasey Colobera - 31 y/o - Colobera has already been a physio for North Borough City FC for two years before taking this job during international breaks. Many praised her swiftness on the field for getting players off and back on in record times while also keeping a previously injury racked club free of serious wounds this past season. Her advice for fitness and the like is invaluable, though she can sometimes be too forceful when it comes to preventing injuries. She graduated from Wandelaar University at the top of her class with a doctorate, but instead of taking the job offer at the Cicitta Medical Research Facility like her parents insisted, Kasey decided she wanted to have a more hands on approach. It was easy to get a job with North Borough considering her abilities as a doctor and she began developing new, if peculiar, methods to keep players healthy. The only major problem is that the players will often disobey her orders on account of ill discipline or due to other matters that fill up their schedule. This has caused some tension between the players and Colobera, though it evaporates quickly when they remember how much work she does to keep them in the game, injury free.

Fitness Coach:Maximus Pax - 33 y/o - Pax travels to different sports teams around Zoronya and Walkany, advising on the best workouts to do and when to do them for each individual athlete and giving them specific meal plans to meet their needs. He is very experienced in all workouts and was very excited to take the chance to help the national team advance through Qualifying. Pax is an expert weight lifter while also having impressive speeds on track courses. The Head Coach plans to have him work very closely with Colobera to ensure the players are at maximum fitness throughout the campaign. Pax's career began after he graduated from the famous Wandelaar University with a degree in physical fitness. After leaving the school at age twenty-two, he received multiple job offers from Wandelaar based gyms and clinics, but declined them all. Maximus had known what he wanted to do since the first day he lifted weights: help everyone else lift weights. He began a business in the capital of traveling to schools and gyms, some of them being former potential jobs, and helped set up workout routines for athletes everywhere. Pax showed them all the proper forms before giving them a schedule and with his regular patients, a meal plan. After five years of this, Max had built up enough clientele plus resources to hire some help to take care of the local business while he began his current job of traveling the country to all of the professional sports teams.

HOME STADIUM
Estádio Nacional Rei Mateus I "Mateus Primeiro"
City: The Royal City of Matekkipper Capacity: 71,450 Hometeam: CME and Real Matekkipper
Known as the newest Stadium of the state named Capital (named that way because of Matekkipper, the country's capital), the Estádio Nacional Rei Mateus I was named after the first king of Matthewsiana, known for both his bravery and his strength. Sadly, the king died a good while ago, leaving the throne for Rei Mateus II. Needless to say, the stadium is pretty robust as a homage to its' namesake on his hey days. It's also the home of sorta-relevant Matthewsianian team CME, formed as a splinter from Rei Mateus I's favorite team, Real Matekkipper; and the actual Real Matekkipper. They end up sharing the venue as a result.
