Brevity Cup 7 - IC Thread

by **Quebec and Shingoryeo** » Sat Jan 06, 2024 1:16 am

OOC: For most part the format mostly follows that of the last two Brevity Cups, in order to ensure continued consistency of the competition.

Format

We have 28 teams! So we will have 7 groups of 4. Top two from each group, as well as two highest-ranked third-placer will advance to the knockout stages. There will be no seeded live draw this time, but the groups, the pots and IC information section will be made available sometime in the Sunday afternoon, which should give approximately four days before the start of the competition. This is an association football tournament, that'll be held in the immediate aftermath of the World Cup and Cup of Harmony. Every single game at this tournament will be hosted, ICly, within Quebec and Shingoryeo. Quebec and Shingoryeo.

The key? RPs will be limited to exactly 50 words. And a maximum one RP per matchday. Bonuses for other challenges will be set after each scorination, that will include things like a word or phrase of the day, or miscellaneous trivia, or a random theme. You can choose to ignore all that of course, and you'll forego some of your bonus. So the Brevity Challenge Cup is a creative writing challenge, but designed to inspire and not to give you a ton of homework. ICly it might be a nice opportunity to give fringe NTers some playing time directly after the World Cup, or a chance to give your senior team another opportunity to earn a trophy.

And yes- I've gotten permission from the tournament founder to resurrect this tournament after a RL decade of it going into hiatus.

Organisational Notes

Grading Your RP
RPs that are not exactly 50 words will not receive a RP bonus

I will use the following website as my word counter, so everybody's clear what I'm judging by. They will be the final judge & jury on topics of word count(while I am the executioner).

Note on rosters: Word Count limits DO NOT APPLY to team rosters. And a roster post does not count towards your RP limit of one post per Matchday.

Ranks

To give some weight - but not too much - to the established order of things, teams will receive a ranking based on the most up-to-date KPB available. Simplified by dividing up the KPB into brackets of ten and giving a rank dependent on which bracket a team currently resides in. However, anyone who takes part using, say, a bunch of fans who won a pie-eating competition on TV, or bus drivers on holiday, or veterans over the age of fifty, can self-elect to rank themselves in a lower bracket. Please clearly identify this as a part of your roster(obviously it'll effect your rank points but not your pot). Because it's not about the winning, it's about the taking part, right????

Teams ranked between 1-20: 10 rank points.
Teams ranked between 21-50: 8 rank points.
Teams ranked between 51-100: 6 rank points
Teams ranked between 101-400: 3 rank points
Unranked teams: 0 rank points

The far-northern province of Nagligusuŋniq (ᓇᒡᓕᒍᓱᖕᓂᖅ) is a distant, separate territory from mainland Quebec and Shingoryeo, though until fairly recently had been part of the mainland itself mostly as Nunavut, Yoseo-Manitoba, Nord-Est and Abibiti-Agawa provinces. As for what exactly caused this new land to pop up - a recent round of incidents where attempts in building a Quebeco-Huayramarcan border wall over much of the western half of country, combined with a month-long snowstorm in November 2062 that the nation was not particularly braced for, have led into the collapse of what had been a porous, multi-layered magical border surrounding it. The result of this is that much of the northern, polar bits of the land would move northwards from the northwestern Arrosia into the Blood Sea, the location standing approximately halfway between it and southern Rushmore. As for the magical borders part (for those not recognising it at least!), most would not know anything about it and attribute this to increased signs of climate change, something that when combined with Blood Sea can lead into interesting situations.

The northern province is one of the four federal provinces led by Premier Phillip Umiaktorviq, former gridiron football star who has since had a successful political career, and with considerable distance between mainland and Nagligusuŋniq is expected to receive greater self-autonomy. The population of the province is approximately 1.8 million, with majority of the population living in the city of Iqaluit (population: 650,000) or smaller cities that have their own infrastructure (mostly due to distance and isolation) but otherwise need to travel to Iqaluit or mainland for supplies or assistance.

Due to the fairly recent nature of the breakaway, the region is undergoing a series of extensive re-orientation and infrastructure projects with the help of federal government back in Joongyeong, as well as the Royal Quebecois Armed Forces. The intention is that self-sufficiency eventually be established on economic terms to limit the burden on Mainland-Nagligusuŋniq relations, something that has been an issue in pre-2062 times as well. Among those the ones being propped up and added with much-needed upgrades are outdoor stadiums, which for all the chaos and uncertainty surrounding Nagligusuŋniq's future, would at least provide assurance in international-standard matches for both association and gridiron football.

As for the venues themselves, fixtures will be kept short and straight. Each group will be hosted by one of the seven cities listed in the map, with the earlier knockout rounds to be played at Fokino or Ikpiarjuk. From the semifinals onwards the players will be heading into the Iqaluit Stadium for the finale.

The North Pole and South Lapland National Football Team

An Introduction to North Pole and South Lapland

The Winter Wonderlands of North Pole and South Lapland, commonly abbreviated to NP&SL, is a country in Esportiva. It consists of two islands: North Pole Island (located at the North Pole, duh) and South Lapland Island (located more southernly, duh). North Pole Island is the main commercial and administrative hub of NP&SL, with most of the activity concentrated in the nation's largest employer, Santa's Workshop. South Lapland Island is the residential centre of the nation, with most of the nation's elves, reindeer and snowmen residing in Santa's Village there. The two islands are connected via the Clauseway, which allows the worker elves to travel to Santa's Workshop. (The reindeer just fly over).

North Pole and South Lapland is an absolute monarchy ruled by Nicholas XII of House Kringle, who serves as the nation's Santa Claus. Assisting Santa Claus in the administration of the nation is a council of advisors with permanent positions: the Christmas Angel in charge of communications, the Ghosts of Christmas Whenever in charge of law enforcement and the judiciary via the naughty and nice lists, and the Three Wise Men who help in the decision-making process. There is very uniform equality in NP&SL, with almost every elf resident employed and earning the same wage and living in similar houses. There is only a slight disparity between the elves and the snowmen, woth the former viewing the latter as lower-class useless hobos.

Everyone on the islands are jolly as they can be and spread Christmas cheer. Even though the Christmas season of December is when most people celebrate around the world, the festive period is 24/7 in NP&SL. If anything, people are less into the Christmas spirit around Christmas due to working around-the-clock to deliver presents to children around the world. People on NP&SL generally consume milk and cookies, listen to terrible Christmas songs and carols, follow Christianity (but aren't members of any organised religion or go to church), and race bobsleighs and reindeer as pastimes. Oh, and of course, football.

Football in North Pole and South Lapland

Due to NP&SL's small size, there is only space for three official fields in the entire nation. St. Nicholas' School Pitch is the smallest, with no seats. It is the only pitch for the only school in the nation, and is used only for kids' training and P.E. purposes, but may be used as an alternative pitch when the other two are snowed up. The next pitch on the list is Blitzen's Blitz, the training pitch for the NP&SL National Football Team. It has a 500 elf capacity, but may be less for bigger human-sized people. The last and most important field is The Santadium, a massive stadium which is able to seat 5000 elves. It is where almost all of the national team's matches are played. However, as most of these fields are almost always used for official business, most elves play recreational football in parks and reindeer reserves.

The NP&SL National Football Team is actually a works team for Santa's Workshop. Everything about the team is bankrolled by the jolly man in red Santa Claus himself, who even manages the team personally. He is assisted by Sleigh, a sentient sleigh and Sylestonean immigrant that carries Santa's presents and does a lot of technical work in the dugout. The national team's red jerseys with green trims on the sleeves and collars also sport a massive logo of a clipart of Santa's head, indicating sponsorship from Santa's workshop. The team is comprised of the strongest and most technically skilled elves working under Santa, who emphasises a laid-back approach on the basis that sharing the possession with the opposition as much as possible is most in-line with the spirit of giving. The starting XI is as follows:

Goalkeeper: Bobby

Bobby is a 1332 year old elf who assembles trampolines in Santa's Workshop. Consequently, he can jump really high and save goals. He's one of the oldest and wisest elves, and is an effective team leader with a commanding presence at the back. His role as Vice Captain of the team emphasises how important he is.

Left Back: Nobby

Nobby is a 144 year old elf who tests out the rocket-power roller skates that are, surprisingly, rarely given to children due to health and safety issues. A bit of a daredevil, this young'un enjoys taking risks and loves to move up the pitch to send attacks forward, but his great speed allows him to track back and defend when the time is right.

Left Centre Back: Holly

Holly is a 453 year old elf who is the captain of the team and manager of the sports equipment department in Santa's Workshop. Her magnificent leadership skills has caught the attention of Santa on multiple occasions, with her rise through the Christmas ladder being rapid. On the pitch, she knows every ball inside out due to being able to build almost all of them with her bare hands, making her the ideal choice to launch a perfectly-timed slide tackle to take the ball back. Her stoicism is also a characteristic that every other tries to emulate.

Right Centre Back: Polly

Polly is a 622 year old elf who is the assistant manager of the sports equipment department in Santa's workshop, specialising in testing the strength of the balls. Her job all day long when not bossing it on the field is to kick balls as hard as they can to test how strong they are. As a result, her ability to hoof the ball all the way up the pitch is magnificent and almost always meets the head of a waiting target (wo)man. She's tough, fearless and always up for a challenge, so watch your shins.

Right Back: Dobby

Dobby is a 235 year old elf who helps to mine coal for the naughty kids. Born with a rare elf gene that gives her lungs like hot air balloons and makes her impenetrable to going out of breath. As a result, she can run all over the right wing by day and give the bad eggs something to whine about at night. She's relentless, uncompromising and has zero tolerance for nonsense.

Left Midfielder: Robby

Robby is a 833 year old elf and vice captain of the team. Robby is unique for being the only elf on the team who doesn't work inside Santa's Workshop. Instead, he is employed by the North Pole and South Lapland Department of Administrative Affairs. His many odd jobs include assisting in the management of the local schools, property department and national accounts. His skilled bureaucratic work and commitment to delicate organisation makes him a tenacious midfielder. His passing is pretty good as well, come to think of it.

Left Central Midfielder: Dolly

Dolly is a 347 year old elf and supervisor for the toy gun assembly line. She always makes sure that the handles are properly attached, the bullets are soft and foam-based, and that the scope is the best thing you can find outside of the most advanced sniper rifle skunkworks sites. Seemingly possessing a built-in crosshair, her passes and set pieces are stunningly accurate. However, firing guns all day has hardened her hearing a bit so she doesn't take instructions or "nagging" so well, from both referees and teammates.

Right Central Midfielder: Oggy

Oggy is a 1002 year old elf and a tester of paintbrushes in the art department. His flowing creativity gives him magical dribbling powers and an unparalleled creativity, making him a highly skilled playmaker for the team. He also designed the kits and has an Instagram page for digital art of joyful reindeer in pastel colours. Check it out!

Right Midfielder: Olly

Olly is a 777 year old elf and an iPad assembler. Formerly a Gameboy maker, he was recently drafted to the iPad assembly line due to the rise of iPad kids. His ability to adapt quickly to all kinds of changing situations makes him an incredibly reliable player who can flourish even under immense pressure. When dominating, he commands the wing and terrorises defences with his crosses and corners, but when on the back foot he still maintains his cool and defends effectively.

Left Striker: Aaron

Aaron is a 202 year old elf. His unusual name and height owes to his ancestry as a high elf, who are not native to North Pole and South Lapland. His grandparents moved here years ago to obtain work after being exiled from their country of origin. His incredible height makes him the perfect person to head home all the high balls he receives. He's a bit shy and folds a bit under pressure, but still an absolute monster on his day.

Right Striker: Lolly

Lolly is a 562 year old elf and an assembler of bicycles. A strong, speedy forward, she breaks up defences by causing mayhem and clears the path for others to score. She scores too, but mostly from amazingly accurate bicycle kicks. She's also a member of Santa's Workshop's HR team and knows how to calm things down when they flare up, so games can always stay exciting and jolly.

Hear the sleigh bells ring
Over a snowy morning
Flakes cascading down

Deers munching carrots
Snowmen finding their noses
Elves crafting iPads

Santa called a meet
The whole island came to greet
The ol' man in red

The fat one announced
"Someone is stealing my stash!
Show yourself, you're sacked!"

About the Manager

Shane Newman is a Baker Park born, who took the chance to become the first NT boss for Havynwilde with an understanding that he would have time & resources to build from scratch. He was hounded by negative media coverage, the unrealisitc expectations of supporters & the governing body, and no investment to correct the dearth of talent in the domestic league. He was unceremoniously fired while out of the country on holiday. He'll consider his time there a learning experience. Was the chief defensive architect for the BPNT in the first three WC cycles.Aged 49 and married with three children--a boy and two girls--he will look to the domestic league for talent by focusing on technique, pace, and positional flexibility.

The Playing XI

#1 Jahangir Shehzad (Goalkeeper)
the twenty two year old goalkeeper Jahangir Shehzad. Who's been always in the bench waiting for their debut match. Jahangir Shehzad is a familiar face to all those who used to follow the Youth football tournaments in Indusse. Jahangir also was a tough contender for Liga Prime's (Indusse's Division One Football League) Golden Gloves. Jahangir was born in the city of Shahzalabad, located seventy six kilometres north of Riveria. He started his career for his school team and then got into the famous college team belonging to Mir Azmal College of Physical Sciences (MACPS). His performance for his college team got him into Sindvpore FC and later to Southbay Riveria FC. Currently, Jahangir is the goalkeeper for Southbay Riveria FC and had replaced Steve in the last season.

#91 Mark Millwood (Defender)
Mark Millwood was born in the town of Parvanaghattapura, in the outskirts of the national capital region of New Hind City. He started his soccer career at the age of twelve where he started playing for his school team and a local football club known as Saviours XI Parvanaghattapura. He later joined the Kala Bharati University Campus and got into the Kala Bharati Campus Team. His excellent performance in the campus team brought him his ticket to New Hind City FC Youth and later to the national team camp. He was later bought by Rockies International Youth and currently plays for Rockies International FC in Indusse's First division league, Liga Prime.

#6 Jonathan Krege (Defender)
Jonathan Krege was born in the city of New Hind City to the business tycoon Friedrich Krege and is the rightful heir to Krege Industries, a well known multinational giant. Jonathan started his career by playing for his school teams and then for the Kala Bharati Campus Team alongside Mark Millwood. His performance in Kala Bharati team got him into Rockies International Youth and later to Neagra FC Youth. He had to quit Neagra FC Youth due to issues regarding his pay and was left in the transfer market as a free agent until he was bought by Cheralam Masters Youth. His career in Cheralam was short lived and at the age of nineteen he was bought by Salingam United FC. From then his performance improved to an extraordinary level where he was invited to play for the National Youth Team. His performance in the Nationals as well as for Salingam have brought him the ticket to the national team.

#13 Mathias Paulson (Defender)
Mathias Paulson born to a wealthy Syrian Christian family in Southbay. He wasn't a soccer maniac or something, who would have started playing for clubs before teenage. He started playing at the age of fifteen for several local clubs including his school and college clubs. After this Sport Medicine graduation from Saint Louis Holiness College in Jawaruyah, he got a mail from the Jawaruyah XI FC for being a defence and fitness co trainer. With his outmost hardwork in the game, he soon won a lot of awards and got a call from Rockies International FC for being their defender. He soon left Jawaruyah for Rockies Islands, it was his perfect defending which let the club rise from Division to to Primary Division tournament Liga Prime. The Team reached top three of the primary division tournament after his arrival and he also received a lot of awards for his play. With his arrival in Liga Prime and as a successor to former Rockies Defender Maryland Bruno (Maryland is his nickname because he used to run a cookie brand called Maryland Food), he got into the radar of National team selectors. He later got the call of the selectors to join the national team camp which was the turnover in his career. He soon became a well known defender in the nation and the captain of Rockies International FC.

#4 Manu Nair (Defender)

#100 Goblin Grundjee (Forward)
Goblin Grundjee who is the first ever non-human sportsperson from Indusse. The Grundjee's are one of the families of the Goblin species that was created by the scientists by DNA Modelling. The scientists created a new race of Goblins through gene editing and combining the DNAs of Humans with certain animals and Algae. The goblin species were divided into three families were Grundjees are one of the major part. The other two families are called Mithys and Auris. The current members of the grundjee family is Colonel Grundjee who is a Colonel in the royal army of Indusse. The gene of colonel Grundjee was created by merging the genes of three colonels of the army with the genes of a eagle and the green algae. The green algae plays a necessary role in getting the green Color of the skin. The other member is Goblin Grundjee who is currently playing for the juniors. His gene was created by merging the genes of David Bekem, a former football and of a wild horse. The green algae is also a necessary part of the composition. The grundjee family has the green composition of skins due to green algae. Whereas, Mithys has a brownish red skin due to the presence of Blue-green Algae with Iron sediments, Auris family has the skin Color of a normal human as there isn't any presence of algae. The skin textures and patterns of the goblins are same as the humans and the color is the only thing that can discriminate it with humans. The scientific community believe that the goblin race will create revolution in the world of science. The creation of Goblin Grundjee was overseen by fellow player Bechun Butea who also played a major role in bringing Grundjee as a experimental player. Well, Grundjee is currently one of the best strikers the nation has seen.

Home Ground

The Aditya Varma Kulashekara International Stadium, is home to the Flocking Blues and is the largest sports stadium in the nation. The Aditya Varma Kulashekara International Stadium can hold 131,561 spectators in normal cases. The most attendance recorded for an event in the stadium was 148,241 spectators. This historical event happened long before the current stadium had been built. The former stadium known as IFA International Stadium had just a capacity of 108,112 and the event was the Sworn-in of Baskar H Kumar as the first president of the Indusse. In other words, the sworn in was also the same as the nation's independence day. The most spectators for a match was recorded as 118,232 spectators for a match between Indusse and Pratapgadh which was once a derby match.

This Stadium was built first by Aditya Varma Kulashekara, the emperor of Indusse at his reign. The stadium was built as part of giving the Indussean Football Association, a home ground. The Stadium at its beginning had a capacity of 62,122 spectators and was later increased to 97,783. The Stadium also in the past hosted the home matches of Royal Hind City FC (Currently, New Hind City FC) and Hind United FC (Currently dissolved). The Hind United FC got dissolved into Royal Hind City FC and the club through enough funding brought some land near the Darbar Halls and built a stadium there which currently serves as their home ground and the nation's secondary home ground. The IFA Stadium was built close to the Hind River and was surrounded by small forests. The place then known to be Kadaathaaaru was chosen for the stadium, the name literally meant to be "Forest River". The stadium continued to host the nation's home matches until the IFA was disbanded after the invasion of the Islamic Conquerors. The Dari Sultanate rulers took over the nation and placed a ban on all sort of native entertainment including music and sports. The stadium was taken under the custody of the Dari Military and was converted into a arena to propagate Dari Propoganda. The Stadium was renamed as Neimat Abdullah Arena and the capacity was increased to 108,112. The Neimat Abdullah Arena also became the public execution grounds of Natives in Indusse. The Dari Supressed Native Freedom Fighters were beheaded, hanged and shot dead at these grounds. After the Independence, the stadium was renamed as IFA Stadium and held the nation's first independence day celebrations. After a few years, it was renamed to Aditya Varma Kulashekara International Stadium and the capacity was increased to 131,561. The Government then also decided to set up a monument for the natives who were killed by the supression. The Divya Azadi Stambh (Divine Freedom Pillar) located in the stadium complex is the so called monument. This Pillar is an important part of the nation's independence day celebrations.

OSSIDIACQUA, roster for BREVITY CHALLENGE CUP 7
Nation Name: The Former Oasirican Republic of Ossidiacqua
Demonym: Acquans
Team Nickname: La Selezzione

KIT COLOURS:
AWAY - HOME (w/ Reverse) - KEEPER

IC INFORMATION:
Right. Where do you even start with Ossidiacqua?

Once upon a time, Ossidiacqua was actually Oasirica. A rich, abundantly resourced, land populated by cultured, intelligent, and proud people. And then they were hit by La Plaga. Ravaging the native Oasirican population but leaving the communities of freed Djocorangan slaves alone, it looked set to decimate the population. Arrogantly proclaiming that all they needed was time to find a cure, the scientists and doctors of the nation locked themselves inside the central hospital of Sant'Elia and proceeded to set up a time-wall around them; giving them ample time to develop a cure for La Plaga with minimal casualties outside in the real world. Thanks to their hubris however, the time-wall went wrong. Instead of going around the hospital, it went around the entire nation. And so, decimation was exactly what happened.

Once upon another time, when the time-wall disappated, Oasirica had been replaced by Ossidiacqua. When 27 weeks passed outside, 270 years passed inside. Entire generations of families lived and died, and La Plaga only stopped sweeping once all those susceptible had died, leaving only a handful of native Oasiricans with natural immunity and the Djocorangan 'immigrants', who were now the dominant ethnicity in the nation. The land was no longer lush, instead ravaged by drought and lack of moisture, with the only water coming from springs which bubbled up through abundant obsidian deposits, giving the new nation its name. And the people were now fearful of technology, giving rise to an odd period of time where silicon chips were banned, knowledge was lost, and only 'tech-priests' knew how to operate the evaporaters, condensers, and rudimentary technology that gave the nation their drinking wate. It was a religion devoted to understanding as little as possible of the life-saving technology they all feared but needed to survive. It was... complicated.

Once upon another another time, technophiles rose up. Declaring themselves sick of Ossidiacqua's fear of taking their place in the world, they staged an attempted coup with the outside help of Djocoranga, and aimed to put their own people in charge. The plan was scuppered slightly by the Djocorangans also aiming to do just that, as well as the discovery of the temporal properties of the mineral despoti called erchite. Found only in Ossidiacqua, its ability to amplify and loop all types of energy on a temporal level was eventually discovered to be the cause of the original time-wall mishap in Sant'Elia. Sadly, this discovery came too late to stop another mishap, and the nation descended into another series of time-slips.

Once upon another another another time, then it was now.

The tech-priests have become somewhat more tech-savvy, and are able to give the people of Ossidiacqua a more or less 'normal' life, so long as you don't mind the odd spoiler or extreme case of deja vu. However, keeping that temporal dimension stable long emough to allow people to leave the nation and then come back has proved somewhat trickier. So it is that visitors to the nation take their existence into their own hands, and people willing to make the trip abroad likewise.

Until now, that is.

By introducing a way of tranferring temporal properties of the land and geography to the people itself, we think - we think - we have managed to find a way to allow Acquans to travel abroad without coming home to find everyone has aged differently to them. As well as eliminating the risk to foreigners' existence when they visit the nation - so long as they don't mind watching a few moments of fast forwarding and rewinding happening around them - this means the Acquan national football team, La Selezzione, should be able to visit the Brevity Cup with hopefully minimal disruption, and to pick up where the poor excluded Senzatetto left off.

Of course, this doesn't come without some risks. So, there are a few rules to follow when playing against the Acquan side. The technology to reduce the time-slips has been successfully reduced to the size of an erchite embedded bracelet, with copper nodes that have to dig into the flesh at all times. So there may be some oozing involved. You should never tamper with this. You may think that by giving it a nudge you might be able to flick the person marking you at a corner into slow-motion for a bit, allowing you to score, but actually, it is far more likely that yo->/

/<-okay? Good.

If this holds, we may finally see Acquans playing abroad again, but if it doesn't? Well. Who knows. The important thing to remember, is that->/

STAFF:
Manager: Innocent Bianchi, 73
Until last season, Bianchi could usually be found in the dugout of the nation's most successful side; CA Conquistadores. He retired on a high after completing the third league and cup double in a row during an unprecedented period of domestic dominance for the Sant'Elia side, and he left them in rude health. He has been tempted out of retirement to lead this new set of Acquans into international competition however, and he will be looking to make his mark with his trademark wing-play, relying as it does on two trios of attack-minded players (each consisting of a wing-back, attacking-midfielder, and wide-forward) hurtling down either wing making intricate one-touch passes as they go, with a centre-forward, central half-back, two central full-backs, and a sweeper-keeper providing the central spine. It worked domestically, but we tend to doubt it'll work quite so successfully here with international opposition and players that he hasn't been moulding into shape for seasons on end. Still, it should be entertaining. Watch out too for his trademark tactical switch. Whenever he gives the word to the captain, it is the signal for the entire team to start->/

Assistant Manager: Yves Pasinetti, 42
Star striker of the first Conquistadores side that Bianchi managed to the top of the A-Liga, he also played for and won trophies with AS Débardeurs Nationale and Magisterio AC before retiring. He instantly moved into coaching and found work at Caballeros, Qolo-Qolo, Condensadores, Atletico, and Internazionale, before finding his way back to becoming assistant manager at Conquistadores to Kossi Gentili. As one of the few people respected and liked enough to be able to bridge the normally partisan walls between the big Acquan clubs and still remain loved by all, Bianchi has very wisely 'borrowed' Pasinetti for the duration of the tournament. Accordingly, he will be able to offer political, emotional, pastoral, and attacking support for the team. Just so long as he manages not to->/

Oscar Macaluso might not actually be the best shot-stopper in the A-Liga, but with Bianchi's system being so reliant on the goalkeeper, it isn't that much of a surprise to see him opt for the keeper in the league that knows said system the best as his number one choice.

With only three players expected to hold any sort of defensive duties in this squad, the bulk of the responsibility for stopping goals is left to these three. It used to be the case that a Velasquez had to be the captain of the national side. It was an odd rule, but then, Ossidiacqua was an odd place back then. Still is, in fact. So it'll come as no surprise to most to see another Velasquez captaining this reborn side. Except for the fact that this Velasquez is completely unrelated to the dynasty that came before him. Apparently there was nothing in the rules about it being the same family after all, so, Ayegbeni Velasquez's dominant performances in the middle of the park for Conquistadores look set to be repeated at the Brevity Cup. Sitting behind him but equally looking to push forward when they can, will be Bertolucci and Escobedo, whom A-Liga fans have enjoyed seeing clash explosively at corner routines for the last few seasons. Bertolucci in particular will be hoping for a good tournament as he has stated his aim to->/

Making up the two ‘wing-units’ of Bianchi’s tactical scheme will be Iweala, Belmondo, and Caccianemici on the right, and Cannizzaro, Amoroso, and Menicossa on the left. As stated, these trios will largely be able to deputise and switch in and out for each other as their attacks move down the wing, so don’t be surprised if you see Caccianemici hanging back wide right whilst Belmondo and Iweala complete a one-two in the box. The aim is to create overloads wherever possible, and then to either open up a shooting opportunity for themselves or to leave a simple finish for the centre-forward or opposite wide-forward cutting in across the box. The units are designed to work independently of each other, but cross-field passes will of course happen – often at the direction of the players in central spine, usually the half-back.

Aside from the goalkeeper, this is the most specialised role in the system Bianchi likes to play, as the role of Kone and Vanegas in this side is to do nothing more than put the ball in the goal. That’s it. In a squad where players are moving here and there, swapping in and out, and basically operating under a total football mindset, only the keepers and these guys will be expected to stay where they are. Lethal finishers both, expect to see Kone use his broad frame and low centre-of-gravity to bully defenders off the ball, whilst Vanegas is more likely try and break the lines with a well-timed run. Famously, should they ever play at the same time, watch out for a trick they learned when they were both at Caballeros before Kone’s move to Qolo-Qolo; basically, Kone runs thro->/

Corner Taker: Esteban Iweala/Noah Cannizzaro/Kokou Belmondo

The Acquan game has been cut off from the rest of the multiverse for over 300 years, cumulatively, and as such developed has a unique flavour and style of its own. Short passes, keeping possession, and running are the key to the majority of play, with Acquan teams keen to instil a sense of duty in their players that leads to any of them being able to play or deputise in any other position during the course of a match. The players are very capable with the ball, and have developed tricks and flicks enough to bamboozle any opponent - way, way ahead of their time as far as the rest of the multiverse is looking at it. However, they always had much to learn about the way the rest of the footballing community plays the game, and with the Acquan game developing a far higher tolerance for rough and tumble, even the silkiest of attacking forwards can find themselves sent off for an illegal tackle that would have been perfectly legal in the Acquan leagues. Therefore, it would be of great help to me if you could RP my team as technically gifted, but tactically naive, and as far as international standards go, incredibly violent. Thank you. The other main difference in the ways the team will play is their reliance on a goalkeeper to be the main starting point of attacks.

SEMARLAND NATIONAL FOOTBALL TEAM, OFFICIAL BREVITY CUP 7 SQUAD

NATIONAL STADIUM - Natunolstadion, Jansberg, 86,000

Home - Goalkeeper - Away
Kits kindly manufactured by VUCTI Kits

Cortell Carrasco was rumoured to be handed an ultimatum by the SFA following a rather underwhelming World Cup qualification campaign. Whilst hopes weren't necessarily as high given Semarland's low ranking compared to their opponents, Carrasco and co. had hoped for a respectable showing just as much as the very slim chance of cracking the playoffs. Therefore, the SFA are expecting a decent enough return from the upcoming CAFA and Brevity Cup rather than the embarassing turnout at the last WCQs. A decent enough first half with wins over Polar Islandstates and Sarzonia looked to set them up for a decent mid-table finish, but a dismal showing in the second half of qualification, with Carrasco's side failing to pick up a point at all. A handful of players retired - namely goalkeeper Matthias Baxter, striker Johan Larsen and most notably the captain, centre-back Shone Andrews. Andrews' leadership will be missed but midfielder Jamal Barker is a more than suitable replacement, with the Krsthaven midfield general Semarland's most capped player. A couple of players were dropped from the "main squad" that were called up for the CAFA to form the core of the Brevity Cup squad, such as defender Gael Larsen and midfielder Rameses Kristoffersen, with a new look starting XI starting to form from the ashes of the metaphorical bombsite that was World Cup 95. Plenty of new faces inbound, plus several fringe players who will be fighting for the chance to be a part of Carrasco's plans for the next World Cup and beyond.

STAFF:
Manager: Cortell Carrasco, 65
Plucked from Sporting Saint Adrensburg by the SFA, Cortell Carrasco was one of the league's most successful managers over the period of non-IFCF/KPB/CAFA involvement. With just the one league title to his name, some may have thought he wasn't the best choice, but his long-term transformation of SSA was truly remarkable. A talented tactical mind who happens to be a close friend of his predecessor Kadell Stevens - who reportedly nominated him for the job, Carrasco hasn't exactly had the start to life as Semarland manager as he would have liked. Despite a good showing at the last Olympics, Semarland were easily brushed aside by the majority of their albeit higher ranked groupmates in World Cup 95 qualification. Carrasco's skating on thin ice, but there's still embers of confidence from the SFA management who have given him a lifeline to prove himself with the upcoming CAFA 8 as well as the Brevity Cup. Expect attractive football - not as high-pace as Stevens, but still nice enough to watch with a focus on defence as much as attack. Oh, and he's brought his entire SSA backroom with him as well, so if there is someone who is going to enjoy this, it's the SSA fans...

Assistant manager: Devonte Northfield, 49
SSA legend who never really got to make his mark for Semarland internationally - Devonte Northfield was quite unlucky given he was actually half-decent as a player and he had a lot of talent ahead of him. But he made his mark for his club, which led to him getting a job as coach within the youth team - and you know the story. He rose through the staffing ranks the same way he did in the playing ranks and wound up assistant manager to Carrasco after the retirement of his previous assistant Martin Etienne. Developing his tactical mind through Carrasco's mentorship, many were hoping he'd take up the reigns at SSA rather than join the rest of the backroom team, he didn't want to pass up the opportunity to represent his country in the dugout.

First team coaches: Marcos Sevenoaks, 47 and Cyrone Eastwood, 39
Two players (also SSA legends, if you notice the recurring theme) who did get to make their mark for Semarland internationally. Marcos Sevenoaks was a powerful winger with a thunderous left boot and Cyrone Eastwood was a midfielder who was one of those midfielders who did the job and made things tick without everyone else really clocking what they were doing, but being aware...if that makes sense? Anyway, they're not bad coaches - not as good as they were players, mind, but Carrasco trusts them enough to come with him to the big stage. They might not have as much tactical input as Northfield does, but we're sure they'll throw a piece of advice in or too. Their experience as regular-ish internationals, something that Carrasco and Northfield lack, will come in handy too, especially considering none of these players have pulled on the Semarland shirt before.

Goalkeeping coach: Devane Marylebone, 53
The last of the legends (God, anyone would think the SFA were raging SSA ultras or something...) and like Sevenoaks & Eastwood, a pretty decent player for club and country. Might have been too old for the league title win, he played his part as goalkeeping coach and had earned his name in SSA legacy as a player beforehand anyway. We could write loads more waffle about his abilities as a goalkeeping coach, but we won't bore you - he does his job well and will no doubt pass on his experience well.

Fitness coach: Boscoe Baywood, 62
Physio: Maxwell Eirsen, 44
Okay, we can't really call these guys "legends", they never even played professionally, let alone for Semarland. Or SSA for that matter? Unless the 5-a-side league counts. But in seriousness they're good at their job. SSA rarely struggled with injuries during Carrasco's time as manager, and that was thanks to the training regimes and medcial attention of Boscoe Baywood and Maxwell Eirsen respectively. Hopefully Semarland won't struggle with injuries like they used to way back when. We might allow ourselves to get our hopes up...

PLAYERS:
All ages & statistics correct at the beginning of the 2052/53 season
GOALKEEPERS:
#1 - GK - Renell Jones - Age 21 - Krsthaven - 2 caps
#12 - GK - Jayreece DeCourtney - Age 29 - Eikborg Club - Uncapped
#13 - GK - Graham Nordmark - Age 27 - Brondby - Uncapped
Krsthaven didn't exactly have the best of seasons, but one positive that could be taken was the performances of their young goalkeeper Renell Jones, whom without they would have surely fared worse. Jones isn't the tallest of goalkeepers but boasts fantastic acrobatic prowess and reflexes, whilst Jayreece DeCourtney has been one of the more underrated goalkeepers in the Premarligaen, having been a solid pair of hands between the sticks for Eikborg Club for almost ten years now. Graham Nordmark isn't the most Premarligaen experienced option, with Brondby only returning to the fold last season, but he was one of the stars of their campaign despite their 15th place finish. Like Jones, it could be said they would have come out worse if it wasn't for him as their custodian.

DEFENDERS:
#2 - DR - Akim Hanley - Age 27 - Krsthaven - 4 caps
#3 - DL - Edgar Kangwa - Age 24 - Eikborg Club - 6 caps
#4 - DC - Gael Larsen (vc) - Age 27 - Krsthaven - 22 caps, 1 goal
#5 - DC - Dontell Rockfield - Age 21 - Aviddia United (KRY) - Uncapped
#18 - DC - Donell Brandon - Age 28 - FC Nuholm - Uncapped

Gael Larsen is named vice captain and deep down will be hurt that he's not called up for the CAFA. He wasn't objectively one of the worse players in World Cup qualifying, but Carrasco has decided he wants some experience in the side and Larsen has exactly that. He will likely partner a new face in Dontell Rockfield, an FC Jansberg academy graduate who recently moved abroad to Krytenia to ply his trade with Aviddia United, where he has impressed. The likes of Akim Hanley and Edgar Kangwa featured in the WCQs, whilst Rekim Amoah and Diego Bonriou were part of the most recent Olympics Squad. Mark Bonstrom and Donell Brandon are new faces in the international fold but have been amongst some of the most consistent performers for their clubs FC Jansberg and FC Nuholm respectively, and would like to take this chance to try and secure themselves in Carrasco's plans for WC96 qualifiers.

MIDFIELDERS:
#6 - DMC - Rameses Kristoffersen (c) - Age 26 - Molsbik Arkjet - 22 caps, 1 goal
#7 - AMR - Chris Simmonds - Age 26 - FC Jansberg - 5 caps, 1 goal
#8 - MC - John Omrore - Age 26 - Molsbik Arkjet - 11 caps, 1 goal, 2 assists
#10 - AMC - Pascal Geneva - Age 24 - Brondby - Uncapped
#11 - AML - Nahom Teklemariam - Age 21 - Kangemark Sport - 14 caps, 2 goals, 4 assists
#14 - MC - Morten Knutsen - Age 21 - Morannon Athletic FC (TKT) - Uncapped
#17 - DMC - Taymar Sandilands - Age 25 - BT Klub - Uncapped
#20 - AMRLC - Glenn Baah - Age 21 - FC Kolberg - 6 caps, 1 goal, 1 assist
#23 - MC - Jahmari Hexham-Courant - Age 19 - Krsthaven - Uncapped
Like Larsen, Rameses Kristoffersen might feel some disappointment to not be involved in the CAFA but will be a steady presence in midfield having now hopefully overcome his injury issues. It could be said Kristoffersen is much better for club than country, but the Molsbik Arkjet captain will be hoping to prove his doubters wrong this Brevity Cup. Midfield dynamo John Omrore and attackers Nahom Teklemariam and Chris Simmonds all impressed in their recent cameos, whilst there is a new face in Brondby's attacking midfielder Pascal Geneva, arguably their best player last season alongside goalkeeper Graham Nordmark. On the bench, only the versatile Glenn Baah has prior international experience (Olympics), whilst Krsthaven graduate Morten Knutsen has excelled abroad in Tikariot with Morannon Athletic FC. Krsthaven's young playmaker Jahmari Hexham-Courant is a player tipped for big things, whilst Taymar Sandilands was key in BT Klub's survival last season.

STRIKERS:
#9 - ST - Bismark Boateng - Age 26 - Molsbik Arkjet - 9 caps, 5 goals, 1 assist
#15 - ST - Neo Sundstrom - Age 21 - FC Nuholm - Uncapped
#16 - ST - Ramello Marshall - Age 20 - Kangemark Sport - 5 caps, 2 goals
Powerful forward Bismark Boateng boasts quite an impressive scoring record for the national team, with five goals in nine games a solid return, and the Molsbik Arkjet striker will be hoping to build on that this Brevity Cup. He's ably backed up by Ramello Marshall, another impressive figure in the most recent Olympics who turned down an offer from Krsthaven to remain at his hometown club Kangemark Sport for the upcoming season, whilst FC Nuholm's Neo Sundstrom is the final new face in the team after an impressive couple of seasons leading the line. Perhaps the strongest area of the team, despite the least experience, if the Premarligaen's goalscoring charts are anything to go off.

Bio
Where is Vdara? What is Vdara? Who are Vdara? Is it a state? It’s a state of mind, that’s for sure. Established during the times of Ancient Greek colonisation, the first Vdaran settlement was in the modern day capital city of Chania, where a valiant crew had stumbled upon after setting off from Athens, and decided to settle down. This settlement evolved into a city, and this city decided to set up its own settlements, spreading Vdaran culture and ideals across many of the Mediterranean islands, creating their own archipelago. The Vdaran archipelago would go on to change hands several times over the next few millennia, being held by the Turks, Venetians, and Greeks - to name just a few. Fast forward to the present, and now you have a gyro-eating, sports-loving nation with a people who are dedicated to following Vdaran football loudly and proudly. They’ve seen the highs, and they’ve seen the lows, and they’ll now see the present. Fiercely committed to defending their honour, every single Vdaran - from the players, to the coaches, to the ordinary man or woman chilling on their couch, shouting at their television - will be readily available to convince people that, no, Vdara are not has-beans. They’re the real deal.

Permissions
Do what you want. In fact, do your worst. Hurt my players. Send them to hell. I will bring them back. Send my players off - I have others. Suspend my entire team - we will bribe the referees. In fact, I encourage anyone to bribe referees against us - because they need the money.
(oh, and pick whoever you want to score goals. we’ve got plenty of players, so we’re bound to make some substitutions here and there.)

O proud Oracle, bless us in thy presence
Bring us luck, as well as thine essence
Ares’ spirit, we wish to embody
To make our defence slightly less shoddy
Incorporate Zeus, chosen divine
Make our midfield almighty fine
Lastly, we ask, incredibly humbly
To make our goalkeepers much less fumbly

Kanmer braces for the Brevity Cup, and fans are ready to support their team. One of them sent this poem to Adzinsen, the local newspaper of the Halitar Principality:

A cow and a hen,
a pig and a man.
Everyone waits for
the first national team cup
in their lifespan.

Meanwhile soccer, while still behind the big three, is currently on the rise.

The result? The formation of its first ever international team.

"How could they?" "Who snatched them all?"
"Where are they hiding?"

Fingers were pointed
Hooves raised, snowballs projected
A meltdown began

Santa rose again
"Enough! Pause the witch-hunt, please."
"We need evidence."

He brought in Luffy
"DI Luffy is in charge."
"You answer to him."
