AIFA League of Nations 2018

[Scottopian Isles]

The AIFA League of Nations is an international association football competition, to be contested by the national teams of the region of Astyria and also serves as the qualification process for the annual AIFA AstyCup. All associations have been placed within 5 Leagues, structured from A to E based off current scorination ratings, with the highest ranked teams being in League A & descending in rank there from.

With the exception to League A which has 20 teams, each league will be comprised of 16 teams, before being divided into groups of even numbers. Competitors will play 1 Home & 1 Away match against teams within their group as well as 1 other match against each other opponent within their league. The groups winners will be determined by the national team that accrues the most points against their competitors. 3 Points will be awarded for a win, 1 point for a draw & 0 points for a loss. If 2 teams are tied by points, tie breakers will be determined by the following in order of their hierarchy: Goal Difference, Goals For, Games Won, Score Away from Home, Matches Between Teams, Team Rank

Teams scorinator rating will improve by +0.3 for each win, +0.1 for a draw but will not gain any rating points for a loss. However, +0.05 will be awarded per goal scored, as well as +0.05 for each shutout secured. In addition to the rating teams will gain per match, a RP bonus +0.5 points will be awarded for a post referencing the game in question. RP's do not need to be entirely about the team and their performance, as they can be from an individual players view, the managers perspective, a fans experience while at the tournament, a news report or article & more. Maximum 2 per match.

A Reminder that all nations are encouraged to create a National Information/Roster Post before the season begins, which will warrant a one time RP Bonus of +5 to your teams rating. Although entirely up to you, we do suggest it contains the following:

[Scottopian Isles]

The Scottopian Isles Football Association (SIFA), one of the eldest football associations in Astyria, has overseen the operations of the domestic league since 1872 when they hosted the first competitive season between 8 teams, all of which were from the cities of New Greenock & Urquhart which are just 17 miles from each other across the Urquhart Channel. 4 teams still remain today from these original 8, which are New Greenock Football Club, New Greenock United, Rangers Football Club & Urquhart Rampants. Travel between more distant islands was difficult for a grass-roots operation at first and was confined to the 2 cities.



By 1902, the game had become extremely popular across the islands and SIFA moved forward with the establishment of the Island League for teams from the Council of the San Joaquin Isles and The Northern League was created for those hailing from the northern & eastern regions of the Isle of Scottopia while rebranding the New Greenock/Urquhart competition as the Southern League. East Kilbride Football Club, MacKenzie City, MacKenzie Whitecaps, Milpitas Bay, North Shore United & Real Junipero Serra are all teams that still exist to this day from these expansion leagues.

By the 1920s, transportation technology had allowed further distances to be made in shorter times allowing the merger between the separate divisions within Scottopian Football into a singular body in 1926. To great success, 20 teams now competed in 2 divisions with a promotion/relegation system between them. Unfortunately, the Scottopian Civil War and then the Great Astyrian War where to break out soon after, which placed a hold on the activities of SIFA until the closure of hostilities almost a decade later. Due to a majority of the leagues players being drafted, many teams ceased to exist during this time.



With the resumption of games following the end of the Civil War & the Great Astyrian War, several new clubs were created by funds of the SIFA to fill in positions left by teams that no longer existed, to continue with the 20 Team/2 League system with such teams as Cappielow Cavaliers, Davanzas United, Port Elisabeth, Scottopia City and Scottopian Capitols joining the fray. To create a bond of national unity following the war, the option to crate a National Team was also undertaken.

In the decades following, many teams came and went but the league had expanded to 32 teams who competed in 3 divisions and continued this fashion until 2015 at the creation of the Elite Astyrian Football League, of which the Scottopian Isles Football Association is a founding member. At that time, 16 Scottopian teams were chosen to represent their home nation in the first Multi-National Football League in the region which consisted of 64 teams from 12 countries in 4 divisions. The EAFL was created to bring a higher professional level of play to more Astyrian nations in hopes to create further excitement and talent region wide, which has now expanded to 120 clubs from 24 countries in 5 divisions. The Scottopian Isles hosted the inaugural Terra Indicium in 2016 and were crowned their first champions, and look to defend their title in the upcoming games.

The Scottopian Isles national team along with other footballing nations from the region of Astyria were fundamental in the establishment of the Astyrian International Football Association (AIFA), which began the Astyrian Cup of Nations, competing yearly since its 1968. Since its inception, the Royal CommonWealth has hosted the event 3 times (1971, 1988 & 2017) and have been crowned champions twice (2008 & 2009). The Bluebirds were just the 3rd team in AIFA history to successfully defend their title, and the only team to do so in the modern era of the tournament. In addition to these feats, they were AstyCup Runners-Up in 1967 and have been Semi-Finalists 4 times (1978, 1989, 1996 & 2015). They have also competed in the Baptism of Fire LX, Cup of Harmony LXX, the Independent Associations Cup II & III as well as World Cups LXXIII & LXXVIII.

The Royal CommonWealth of Scottopian Isles is a tropical archipelago located in the Southern Hemisphere of Astyria. Located exactly in the center of the Scottopian Straits, the country has always been a bridge between Eastern & Western cultures in the region and its diverse population & culture stands to represent that. The population is over 56 Million who have established a Democratic Socialist society, with orders of government and national affairs ran by a Prime Minister & Parliament. However, the nation is in fact a Constitutional Monarchy with Heads of State being King Scott James & Queen Elisabeth, who have ruled for nearly 3 decades as part of the House of Raithbheartaigh. The nation has a tremendous economy due to tourism, strategic shipping routes, plentiful natural resources & produce. The citizens enjoy great Civil, Economical & Political rights, of which they are proud to be a beacon of light within Astyria.



The islands were formed by volcanic activity initiated at an undersea magma source. The process is continuing to build islands as the tectonic plate beneath much of the ocean continually moves southeast and the hot spot remains stationary, slowly creating new submerged volcanoes. This volcanic activity and subsequent erosion have created impressive geological features including the fifth-highest point among the Astyria's islands. Because the islands are vastly distant from other major land habitats, life is thought to have arrived there by wind, waves & wings. This isolation, in combination with the diverse environment including extreme altitudes changes, tropical, grassy and arid climates along with deep & shallow water shorelines, produced an array of endemic flora and fauna. The Scottopian Isles have more endangered species and has lost a higher percentage of its endemic species than any other Astyrian nation.

The islands are well known for the environmental diversity that occurs from sea level to the high mountains within a trade winds field. On any island, the climate around the coasts can range from dry tropical (less than 20 inches/ 510 millimeters annual rainfall) to wet tropical climates on the higher up slopes. Environments range from tropical rainforest (more than 200 inches or 5,100 millimeters per year), through a temperate climate, to alpine conditions with a cold, dry climate. The rainy climate impacts soil development, which largely determines ground permeability, affecting the distribution of streams and wetlands across the archipelago.

The Scottopian Isles climate is typical for the tropics, although temperatures and humidity tend to be less extreme because of near-constant trade winds from the East Scottopian Straits. Summer highs usually reach around 88°F/31°C during the day with the temperature reaching around 75°F/24°C at night. Winter day temperatures are slightly lower around 83°F/28°C. At higher elevations they can dip below 65°F/18°C at night. Snow, not usually associated with the tropics, has fallen at heights near the 13,500ft/4,200m summits on the Isle of Scottopia in some winter months, which can be expected from the second-highest average annual rainfall within Astyria, at about 460 inches (12,000 mm) per year. In actuality though, Royal CommonWealth only experiences only two differing seasons; the dry season runs from May to October and the wet season is from October to April.

English and Native Scottopian are listed as the archipelago's "official languages" in the countries modern constitution. It specifies that "Scottopian shall be required for public acts and transactions only as provided by local law", which essentially gives the right of the local area in question to interpret how to conduct linguistics. Locally it is referred to as "Scotto", and is the native language of many native residents and is a second language for many families descending from settlers to the islands. As of the 2015 Census, 64% of Scottopian residents exclusively speak English in their homes or at business. 31% of residents know or speak some form of Scotto while only 17% are considered as fluent speakers. 11% of the population can speak some form of Spanish due to historical colonization efforts and 9% can speak other languages from Astyria. The Census determined that 36% of the Royal CommonWealth is bilingual.



Some key customs and etiquette within the archipelago are as followed: When visiting a home of a family, friend or acquaintance, it is considered good manners, even in business transactions, to always bring a small gift for one's host, were most commonly drinks, food or flowers are issued. Thus, most parties are usually in the form of banquets were multiple guests each bring a plate to share. Most locals take their shoes off before entering a home that is not theirs, were to not do so is considered rude. But if you happen to forget, the host may not tell you to do so, as ironically it is also considered rude. It is also customary for families, regardless of ethnicity, to hold a large community celebration for their child's first birthday as the culture of the nation is that it takes multiple individuals to truly help raise a child. It is also customary at Scottopian weddings for the bride and groom to have a blend of Scottish as well as Scottopian influences, in addition to their own decor. However, something that is tricky for foreigners to grasp is how what to call somebody from the islands, where the wordage a person uses has to be very careful to keep harmony between the various cultures. Non-native citizens will refer to themselves as Scottopian, but say it in a form such as "I /am/ Scottopian" in reference to their nationality. Where as native Scottopians will proudly say "I am /a/ Scottopian", to reference their cultural heritage.

The cuisine of the country is a fusion of many fruits, vegetables, nuts, meats & other foods brought by immigrants to the isles, including the earliest native cuisine and those of Scottish, Spanish, Indo-European & Oriental origins. Plant and animal food sources are imported from around Astyria for agricultural use in Scottopia, while major agricultural exports of the nation is our tropical fruits & vegetables, which grow year round in the tropical sun. Poi, a starch like substance made by pounding taro plant, is one of the traditional foods of the islands, and is known to be the best natural product to give a nursing child asides their mothers milk. Seafood, Pork, Chicken and Beef are all used frequently in these meals across the islands, although over half of traditional meals are seafood orientated. Rice is a complementary food with all meals in the Scottopian Isles



Traditional Scottopian folk music is a major part of the countries heritage. The native people have inhabited the islands for centuries and have retained much of their traditional musical knowledge through story singing. Their music is largely religious in nature, which includes rhythmic chanting and dancing. Music and dance has an enormous impact on the identity of each islands or regions of bigger islands, as it is the story of their separate ancestors. Additionally, each set of settlers such as the Scottish & Spanish brought their own flavorings of music such as Bagpipes, Drums, Guitars and other instrumental stylings. The influence of such was declared a "unifying factor in the development of modern Scottopian culture".

Scottopian Isles National Stadium

Location: Scottopia City, Council of Capitola
Capacity: 100,000
Home to: Scottopia City & Scottopian Capitols
Opening Year: 2007
About: A most impressive sight, located just outside the capitol city's financial district is the largest venue within the Royal CommonWealth is the Scottopian Isles National Stadium, or 'ScotStand' as the local population tends to refer to it as. The stadium as it is today was constructed on top the ground that once hosted the former Scottopia National Stadium which was built in 1926. When several safety concerns were addressed in the early 2000's, a consortium between the Scottopian Isles Football Association and the government led to the development of the National Stadium with an increase from 60,000 to 100,000 capacity. 'ScotStand' is the center for football within the Scottopian Isles, with all domestic tournament finals being played there. It also hosts a majority of the National Teams home games when playing international opponents. Being so, the stadium contains a Scottopian football museum, adjacent training complex and a restaurant overlooking the field with a view of Scottopia City.

James Watt Park

Location: New Greenock, Council of the Inverclyde Isles
Capacity: 75,000
Home to: New Greenock Football Club & New Greenock United
Opening Year: 1989
About: During the 1980s, the 2 teams from New Greenock were dominating the Scottopian Premiership with both teams winning a combined 21 of 30 available trophies during the decade. Both being historically established teams, the idea that their current grounds were to small for each of the New Greenock fan base was evident to both the United & FC support groups. Although the cross-city rivals may just be the most fierce in all of the Royal CommonWealth, both teams came together to create their new stadium. At was once an aged horse racing track, the grounds were raised and the current stadium was established which at until 2007, was the largest stadium in the Scottopian Isles.

Royal Colliseum

Location: Urquhart, Council of South Scottopia
Capacity: 65,000
Home to: Urquhart Rampants
Opening Year: 1961
About: In an effort to bring prestige back to the city after the transfer of the nations capitol to Scottopia City, officials for Urquhart envisioned a grand stadium to which they could one day host the famed Astyrian Games or the Olympics. In collaboration with King William, the city erected the Royal Coliseum close to the southern shoreline to catch the view of the ocean liners than frequented the Scottopian waters. Although the Olympic dream has yet to come true, the stadium was host to the 1966 & 1982 Astyrian Games to grand audience at home and abroad. While it is one of the largest venues in the Royal CommonWealth that only one premiership team calls their home turf, the arena is also known to be the second home to the national squad.

Estadio de San Francisco

Location: Milpitas Bay, Council of the San Joaquin Isles
Capacity: 55,000
Home to: Milpitas Bay
Opening Year: 1998
About: The largest stadium built outside the "main islands", the Estadio de San Francisco is the pride of the San Joaquin Isles with their distinct and varied culture that is found nowhere else in the Royal CommonWealth. But just like the main islands, the love for the beautiful game is just as strong where the grounds hold the distinction of having the most games played by the National Team outside of the Isle of Scottopia. As with most within the Council of San Joaquin, a majority of the population can Spanish as well as Scots-English, giving the stadium its Hispanic name and alternate design than the norm from the rest of the country.

MacKenzie Dome

Location: MacKenzie City, Council of the Northern Highlands
Capacity: 45,000
Home to: MacKenzie City & MacKenzie WhiteCaps
Opening Year: 1993
About: With the conditions of the Northern Highlands being a different than the tropical beaches and rainforests found across the rest of the islands, the 5th largest city in the archipelago constructed the MacKenzie Dome, the only indoor arena within the country. With the bubbled construction of the venues roof, it keeps the elements that usually harass MacKenzie City for the better part of the year that interrupted games in the decades before. Another stadium that is home to two teams within the Scottopian Isles Football Association, it gives an easy advantage to the home sides at the elevation of 793ft, the highest elevation of any Royal CommonWealth stadium, which can wear down the opponents not used to the change in oxygen levels. Although not home to many national team games, they do use the facilities to prepare for oversea's games that are at higher elevations.

Morton Stadium

Location: Cappielow City, Council of the Auchendowrs Isles
Capacity: 30,000
Home to: Cappielow Cavaliers
Opening Year: 1995
About: Built into the rockface of an older quarry, Morton stadium sits above Cappielow City with great views down to the oceans edge. With the grounds not having a Eastern or Western section, the stadiums design is unique and found nowhere else within Astyria. The arena's tiers tower above the playing field bringing an intense feel to the crowd watching in the Auchdowrs Isles at the most southern facility in the Scottopian Isles.

City of Davanzas Stadium

Location: Davanzas, Council of the Wasatch Isles
Capacity: 25,000
Home to: Davanzas United
Opening Year: 2011
About: One of the more recently built within the Royal CommonWealth, the design of the venue's roof mimic's with the contour of the nearby mountain's ridgeline that is perched above the city of Davanzas where from a lower elevation, can blend into the surroundings. But make no mistake once you are inside the grounds, the atmosphere is one that rivals the "main islands" love of the game that does not easily hide into its surroundings.

Queens Waterside Park

Location: Port Elisabeth, Council of the Huntington Isles
Capacity: 25,000
Home to: Port Elisabeth
Opening Year: 2013
About: The newest stadium in the Scottopian Isles and one of the most unique in Astyria, the Queens Waterside Park was constructed under direction from King Scott James who also designed the entire project. Built in beautiful Port Elisabeth in Huntington's Harbor, the venue was a gift to the Queen to host her hometown's team's matches. The Queens, as it is referenced as, has been praised on numerous architectural milestones where floating platforms keep the pitch steady even during not so agreeable weather, but it does already claim the fact that more official game balls have been lost here than all other stadiums in the Scottopian Isles combined.

MATCHDAY 1

[Scottopian Isles]

BLUEBIRDS SECURE FIRST POINTS


Deserved Man of the Match, Micheal Baxters(10) was crucial in the League of Nations opener, scoring 2 goals & 2 assists

BANGALLA - Scottopia City Forward Michael Baxters came through for the national team playing away in Bungussi, were a 4-0 win for the Bluebirds over their fellow EAFL compatriots. The night started early when he set up Rangers FC midfielder Scott McCulloch who beat the keeper with a simple lob at just 17 minutes. He then got himself a goal just before halftime after a corner kick landed squarely upon his feet with to much space between the nearest defender to stop the attack. The strike(pictured above) beat the keeper netting the top right corner of the goal to place the visitors in a comfortable position before half time.

Following the resumption of the game, the Scottopians played a less aggressive style of play which led to a few close calls to the home side as the Bungussi support were hungry for a reply. A counter attack from one such play saw youngster Paul Callaghan who's club is Paradise City, get taken down inside the 18 yard box with room to spare to which the referee instantly called a penalty & issued a booking to the defender. Baxters stepped up to take the penalty in the 68th minute to place the Scottopian Isles 3-0 up with just 20 minutes to go in the game.

Further attempts to push up field left the Bungussian defense fractured where another counter attack was set up by Baxters, knocking the ball over the heads of the waiting defense and onto his Scottopia City counterpart Allistar Peterson who snapped the ball past a defenseless goalkeeper to put the away fans into a frenzy with minutes to the end.

VIKINGS LOSE 2-0 AT HOME TO POWERFUL RIYSA

MAGNUSSON - After beginning their campaign with 2 ties against Kyashi & Aswick, the Nynorsk Ostlijord national team was looking for a win at home. That was not to be as the vikings were heavily outplayed & outclassed by last years AstyCup Runners-Up, Riysa. The hopes of any home advantage where quickly dashed when the Desert Eagles scored just 3 minutes into the match against what seemed like a unorganized defense. Manager Dagur Bergþóruson had made 6 unexperienced alterations to the team that had played in the 2 draws, and maybe that was the key the visitors needed as they continued to find holes within the formation. Another goal minutes from halftime ensured there win later in the night as the home side was just not able to control possession.

With Riysa being heavy favorites to finish on top of Group A2, many fans & critics disapproved of the managers decision to allow such a team to take the field when when of pressure weighed itself on the situation. Nynorsk Ostlijord has now just made 2 of a possible 9 points in the opening games against our fellow group members to take 3rd place. Game 4 for the Vikings on January 30th, will also be at home against Kyashi before the team moves onto an away match in Aswick for Game 5. They will surely be looking to pick up the most points they can in those contests before we visit Riysa for a rematch in Game 6. Those will be the final games verses our competition in Group A2 before playing against all other competitors in League A. Not the start we would prefer but their is still time for our national squad to righten their course.

TABARAK, MESOLAND - A 4-1 away victory over Mesoland puts the Grizzlies into 1st Place of Group B2 based off Goal Difference in the League of Nations. Following a 1-0 loss to Austrog & close 2-1 win over British Hifax, the Selecao of San Joaquin Valley now sit equal on points with Austrog each who are in 2nd place, followed by the Hifaxian & Mesoland national teams the group. Goals by Moreno, Alonso and 2 by Narravo pushed the fans who made the journey to the Meso capitol into a joyous celebration. Although their was other games that totaled 5 goals scored, at the final whistle San Joaquin had made the biggest goal difference for any match across the leagues in Matchday 3 and the fact was not lost on Manager Jaun Hernandez who made deep credit to the players for the result. The nation will be pleased to see the team come back with a good result as their next 3 matches are all at home and few tickets remain for the home opener in Fresno on January 30th where the will seek to separate themselves from Austrog in Group B2 standings.

BUNGUSSIANS HOLD OUT WHILE SCOTS MOMENTUM STALLS

SCOTTOPIA CITY, CAPITOLA – Compaired to the previous, the Buffalo's will consider this game a win against the Bluebirds, as the home side had plenty chances on both sides of halftime as they played to a 0-0 draw against visiting Bungussi on Thursday night. The line ups were different this time around from the previous contest where the Tartan Army beat their hosts 4-0 in the opening game of the AIFA League of Nations. From then, it was obvious the Buffalo's had learned from prior mistakes & gained experience as they countered with a much more impressive strategy than last time.The Scottopians came closest to a first-half goal just seventeen minutes in when striker Chris MacKenzie of Port-au-Prosperite powered an effort that forced the visiting goalkeeper to push the ball out for a corner kick. However, after a mostly even first half, terror saw the Bungussian side nearly take the lead just before the break when their forwards pounced on a loose ball in the box, only to have Andrew Rimandos come off his line to save the team from danger in the 43rd minute. That save as well as others across the night proved the 28 year old from Real Junipero Serra, despite his clubs challenges in the 2nd Division of EAFL football, was vying to continue being the man in the #1 jersey for the Scottopian Isles.

Things opened up on the other side of the break, with a series of promising chances for the home side. A ball over the top of the defense found Scottopia City striker Micheal Baxters charging into the area before he slotted it across to MacKenzie nearer the penalty spot. MacKenzie fired to his right beating the Bungussian goalkeeper, but put his quick control was unsettled as his shot cruised just wide of the post in the 61st minute to the relief of the visitors. Later it was Bungussi who saw their opportunity. Catching the hosts in transition, Scottopian defender Goulding of EAFL champions Cuidad de Fresno, appeared to foul the opposing forward on a threatening run just outside the penalty box before he was further upended by Port Elisabeth's captain, Graham Armstrong inside the box. Although no cards were issued for the double tackle, the Andamonian referee had no choice but to award the visitors a penalty kick. As shear luck would have it, the Bungussi captain stepped up to take a powerful yet inaccurate curve that was deflected off the lower left post and back into play before being cleared out by the waiting defense, keeping things scoreless yet tense in the 83rd minute. Both teams traded strong attacking sequences in the closing moments of the match, only for both to settle for a goalless draw in their final meeting this year.

The point picked up from the match will ensure that the Scottopian Isles will remain in 1st place of Group A4, but only by a point while attaining a +4 goal difference. It is also evident that the Bluebirds have lost any safety net they may have had over their group competitors as now Aquitayne, Bungssi & Valle Crucis are all within 1 win of overtaking the national team should we lose the next match against Aquityane in Telora. Although a great start to the campaign was shown at first, it is evident that newly appointed manager Douglas McCann needs more time to find the best players in the squad for his tactical style of play.
