KitsHome Away ManagerColin Donaldson
Age: 56
Former Schottia skipper, and assistant boss under Lionel Mah, he is a legendary figure back home. He served his apprenticeship during Schottia’s rise to the top of the World Rankings, and has witnessed success - and the sacrifices required – up close. He’s attack minded, but not gung-ho, and will assess the squad before making a decision. Last World Cup was a mixed bag, with a good start to the qualifiers with a poor run in the middle before dominating the end. Things looked very good with the escape from the group of death as group winners, but an early elimination from knockouts means he is on thin ice.
Assistant ManagerJens Reiniger
Age: 50
Reiniger was an intelligent defender in his playing days with Crawford City FC and the idea of stepping away from the game after his playing retirement didn't sit well with him. Reiniger believes in strict discipline but in being fair, while also preferring to play a possession based defensive tactic, that takes advantage of the opposition when they overextend. Much was admired about his single-minded approach to playing the 'right way', but his lack of a Plan B sank him in the rough waters of the Nepharim Premiership. The VSC hopes that attitude and defensive prowess would be better utilized in a national team capacity.
Keeper1 Sean Smørdal, Starling
Age - 34
Sex - M
Height: 6'3"
Weight: 181 lbs
His height, sheer natural athleticism, and profound reflexes have been put to the test both domestically and for the national teams. There are many glimpses of what could be a stand out keeper for the ages but there seems to be a lack of focus to keep that majesty going. Regardless, he has proven to be one of the better keepers in the Marauders recent history and is heads and shoulders above the competition for the number one jersey. If he were to only refine that focus, get more consistent, then the Marauders could lessen their worry about defense and get back to playing the free flowing attacking play that they made famous nearly eighty years ago.
Defenders4 Hans Vold, Rolalas FC
Age - 31
Sex - M
Height: 6'3"
Weight: 166 lbs
Vold very well may be the sole reason that the Blues have become a challenger for the IFCF places in the Premiership over the last few years from their usual midtable standing. Decently tall while being deceptively strong given the lanky frame, his a professional defender that can hold his own and lead the backline if it is required of him. Being a bit faster than the other defenders, he will be asked to drift wide when the wingers are caught out of position.
6 Martin Gundersen, Mar Sara FC
Age - 29
Sex - M
Height: 6'5"
Weight: 193 lbs
Gundersen comes in as your favored strong giant who controls the back and is as much as a nusance to attacking players as the rules of the game allow him to be. A tad on the slower side for a Vanorian but his awareness to detail and ability to track the game means he is usually in the best position to make a critical tackle or clearing header.
2 Matheo Dybvik, Rozelle
Age - 30
Sex - M
Height: 6'1"
Weight: 164 lbs
Matheo is a smart centerback who has the versatility to both put in crunching tackles and also play it out of the back, perhaps a touch of his heritage mixed in with his time in Brenecia. Unlike at his club, he will be asked to drift out wide to mark attackers, which is the biggest question mark of his game.
Midfield8 Pánfilo Veliz, FC Capri
Age: 27
Sex - M
Height: 5'11"
Weight: 156 lbs
The first player born in Sabine and Caddonia to make the national team, Veliz was carefully groomed to be a dynamic attacking winger coming through the Capri youth and reserve teams. That masterfully ability to dribble, cross, or if needed even finish moves makes him a wonderful assist for the offensive side of the ball, but does mean he is a bit more lax when it comes to his defensive responsibilities.
7 Amalie Nergård, Anomalies
Age - 29
Sex - F
Height: 5'8"
Weight: 147 lbs
Sometimes thought of as a more attacking center mid, other times more of a utility midfielder. Regardless, she is quite talented and will play her out of and leave everything on the field to see her side have success.
10 Laborious Hawk, Bastion
Age - 747
Sex -M
Height: 6'5"
Weight: 213 lbs
Words do not even begin to define his talent, his talent defines words. He was awarded one of the spots that the Vanorians have in the World Cup Hall of Fame, with it being very well deserved, as he has and continues to earn everything he has been given every single day. Hawk simply strives to be the very best footballer, captain, and teammate that there can be, with the hunger for perfection driving him forth on and off the pitch.
5 Jakob Larsen, Unioneers
Age - 30
Sex - M
Height: 6'2"
Weight: 174 lbs
A tall and lanky fellow, but don't let the lithe frame fool you, he is a destroyer through and through and will not think twice about putting in a crunching challenge on you in a fifty-fifty situation. Perhaps due to playing over in Eura, Larsen is a bit more of a physical player than most Vanorians but has that touch of technical class that one has come to expect from a Vanorian midfielder.
3 Simon Kvaal, Pikemouth
Age - 31
Sex - M
Height: 5'10"
Weight: 158 lbs
Truly a masterful maestro out wide, with both the dynamic passing and crossing ability that makes managers salivate and desire his services for their own club. With the departure of most of the elves, now bar Hawk, Kvaal finally has been given his chance to show that he is up to the Vanorian standard and can proudly be adorned in that five star crested kit that he grew up idolizing.
Strikers9 Harlem Saxstrom
, Mar Sara FC
Age - 29
Sex - F
Height: 5'11"
Weight: 154 lbs
Saxstrom proved to be everything that the Marauders were hoping for and more with her deft touch, good pace, and amazing power on her shot. Paired with Thor, the pair were a fierce force to be reckoned with moving forward and almost single handidly took the Marauders deep into the World Cup Knockouts once more. Having some time together and both in their prime should hopefully see a replication of their form from two years ago if not an improvement on it.
11 Thor Møller, Shamrock Cathair
Age - 30
Sex - M
Height: 5'11"
Weight: 157 lbs
While Harlem may be decently well rounded as a striker, Thor is the complete package in pace, strength, accuracy on shooting, as well as the ability to absolutely blast the laces off the ball if required. In the prime of his career and having already proven he is up to the task at hand with a great goal return during the last World Cup, Thor will be looking to help the Marauders hopefully add a sixth star to their crest.
