Friendly Cup IV
Are you sure you are friendly?

OOC Thread

Welcome to the fourth edition of the Friendly Cup,hosted right in the South of Rushmore,Mapletish.Going into its fourth edition,with 3 different champions,the fourth champion could be you.

Format

There will be eight groups of three.After 4 matches,the top two teams will advance.Then it will be a straight single-legged knockout stage.

Scorination will be done on NSFS 3.01.and the Friendly Cup Rankings will be used.Rp Cutoff will be scheduled at 09 00 UTC [17 00 UTC + 8] and since there are bits of uncertainty in whether I would be able to scorinate the matches right on the clock a buffer time of 5 minutes to 1 hour will be introduced to accommodate to this measure. All style modifiers from -5 to +5 will be accepted. Wins will count as three points and draws one point。Tiebreakers will be Points > Head to Head Result > Goal Difference > Goals For > Goals Against > Playoff Match

RP bonus will be included in this tournament,every match day will give an RPer a potential amount of one point.The max skill points on the time of scorination,will be the highest skill point multiplied by 2.

There will be a 50% deduction of points at the end of the group stage before any playoff games before the knockout round.

Welcome To Mapletish!

The fourth edition of the Friendly Cup is currently held right in Mapletish.While you enjoy your stay in Mapletish,stay tune for the fourth Friendly Cup champions and while you stay here,we hope that you have a safe and enjoyable time right in Mapletish. Here are some information of Mapletish.

Information

Mapletish is a nation which comprises of 10 states with an accurate amount of 40 cities per state making the total number of cities in Mapletish at a number of 400. Accordingly to the latest National Census, the current Mapletish population is at 70,000,000, and it is considered neither a large nor small number of people living in Mapletish. Traveling around Mapletish is never a problem as the all efficient public transportation system has never failed with frequent maintenance works every six months to maintain its top notch quality and standard.

The number of emergencies are currently "995" for the civil defence force (Ambulance and Fire) and "999" for the police. To further enhance this feature, dialing any numbers with 4 or more of the number "9" will lead to the line connecting straight to the Police, as a measure by the Police to provide easier dialing for emergency situations.

Emergency vehicles are marked with the name of the service (be it Police, Fire, or Ambulance), and are also equipped with a siren and with flashing either blue or red lights. If you encounter one of these vehicles with the lights on, the sirens or both are active, please take extra care, and if necessary, pull over at the nearest and safest opportunity, using your indicator (turn signal) to ensure that the driver of the emergency vehicle is aware of your actions,failure to comply to this might lead to charges been filed against you by the Civil Defence,with concrete evidence against you as a camera recorder is placed at the front of every emergency vehicle,a turn of the switch will record what's all that are in front of them and therefore that will be against you.

Though unlikely, if you need medical care in Mapletish, it will not come with a cost to visitors with the appropriate travel insurance.However,additional charges will be imposed depending on the degree of treatment or injury. You will find our hospitals are at the state-of-the-art, with the best equipment, treatments and employees available.

The civil defence or the fire service in Mapletish is also well equipped and well trained with the ability to deal with any eventuality.

it will not be surprising if you find that the police officers in Mapletish are armed,mostly with a fully automatic pistol or a shorter version of the semi-machine gun,depending on their unit or field of deployment.The police force is also nationalised. They might look scary but that does not mean that they are unapproachable, the police officers are friendly and are more than willing to answer your queries. Furthermore they also have excellent training, and patrol areas they are familiar with, so if you are lost, they are often the first person to consult. Lastly, the police officers are the keepers of peace and therefore they will not hesitate to be involved in matters that they feel will disturb the peace of the general public,or endanger members of the public, or cause damage to public or private property.

Right now we will talk about sports,emerging into the international sporting scene in the Baptism Of Fire 44 which saw the national football team of Mapletish clinching the 2nd runner-up position which was something to be proud of and the only commendable achievement worth noting. Nicknamed as "The Lions" , " The Fiery Dragons",with both creatures representing the Mapletish football team as a fearless footballing trio. Emerging into the international sporting scene just recently,there hasn't been commendable achievements other than the clinching of the 2nd runner-up position in the Baptism Of Fire, reaching the playoff stages for the World Cup 61 qualifying was also a proud achievement to be clinched however it was a pity that the team lost and thereafter losing its chance to qualify for the World Cup.

The top two most successful domestic football clubs or sports clubs in Mapletish are Home United and Golden Phoniex,both notching up a huge portion of the domestic trophies in Mapletish with a scary percentage of 85% of all the trophies played in history.However both sides have not reached the group stages of UICA competitions at all. Despite having a slow start to the international scene,sports domestically have been a great hit with the Mapletish Community Games being held every year as a Inter-State sports tournament with all the ten states sending sportsmen and women to compete in the Olympics-liked tournament. To match off with that the Mapletish Para-Community Games for the physically challenged have also been organised and run alongside with the Community Games. The Mapletish Winter-Community Games is being held in the winter each year and the Mapletish Youth-Community Games have also been organised too and it runs before the actual Community Games as a platform for youths. Sporting venues are always active to accommodate to this need and therefore, it is always ensured that sporting tournaments can be held all year round.

A grand and unique country just for you to explore,a country rich in history,culture and best of all sports. Mapletish welcomes you and of course your money !

After making it to the semifinals in the previous edition of the Friendly Cup, the Swiss team hopes to prove themselves in this year's cup. A few notable changes since last year include the controversial decision to place Daniel Artémis, a 19-year old, as a starter in front of the consistent Trayker. Other notable changes include the presence of Adrian Tolmeki and Pierré Benlizar, two graduates from the youth league who have recently brought their team victory in the U-21 World Cup.

Do whatever you like. But I would like to limit it to one death a match if you should feel so inclined to do that.

Further Reading: Old Guard take place in their 3rd Friendly Cup, after hosting the 2nd edition, and narrowly missing out on hosting this one. The team has traditionally done awfully in the Friendly Cup, failing to progress beyond the group stage in both previous editions. After the success of the last tournament, Xav the Fast has replaced John the Fowler in the starting line-up. In addition to this, Jem the Ugly has retired from international football, and has been replaced by Jooles the Sophisticated.

Team review

The number one team in Friendly Cup rankings returns to defend their title following Royal Britannia's shock win in their debut at the third Friendly Cup. Keeping a winning formula, all of the winning squad from last year minus central midfielder Vernon Masters is included, with the addition of a few new faces in all areas of the pitch. The teams strongest line up will undoubtedly involve the one to watch, Stuart Holland, after his blistering scoring record in the Brit's last tournament.

Another man who played well in last year's competition was midfield maestro Steve Ferer, who was seen as the playmaker in the Britannic midfield. He's moved to a more offensive position for the probable starting eleven, with youngster Neil Dyche being trusted on the opposite wing. His pace should inject a little flair to an otherwise mechanical and conventional front line. With captain and, in our opinion, player of the team Roger Sendon retaining the armband, there is little doubt that he will play a central part to the team's performance. The midfield man everyone is talking about at the moment, though, is 20 year old Jack Owens. His flair and creativity should add to the solidity of his two midfield partners.

Cavalry FC prepares to enter it's first Friendly Cup.

Established in 1952, the United Casparan Football Association (UCFA) has been highly celebrated and considered the nation's past time. Several privately owned football clubs exist around the country and include Good Fellows from Lara, Cache FC from Mogran, and Erlkönig from Zapda. However, once talks of a regional football association began between the nations of The Isles of Liberty, the UCFA decided that instead of choosing one of it's association teams to send on a regional scale it would create a sort of "all-star" team consisting of the best players from each FC. The FC is now used to compete on a national scale.

The process for being a member starts with players from each team being nominated by coaches and fans. One the open votes are over and the people's preferences are known, the UCFA admin decide who to send.

When choosing the team name and colors, it only made sense to keep it patriotic. The name, Cavalry, comes from the national animal being the Horse. The colors, yellow and blue, are also considered strong national colors. The team's sponsor, TroutTamer, was chosen out of a handful of bids because of their full support of UCFA's visions for the team, as well as being a leading force in Caspa's trout-farming led economy.

OOC: (Most Old Guardian writing is like this, generally with more random ramblings and lack of plot)

If we thought, our previous worst loss to Free Swiss Staes was impressive, this time we managed to top it. An 8-0 loss to Hujukialand, was a frankly splendid effort from all involved, after a trio of goals from Gokoloko Munika Kokella Metallio Forretio Mitalakun Korekianakelle MUKA, who put in a sterling effort, and even managed to kill Jack the Awful at Half-Time, which we must thank him for, as Jack was awful in all respects. Our sincerest thanks.

The other 5 goals were scored by a number of Hujukian players, all of whom had long and incredibly strange names which seem incredibly strange to us, with our shorter, more pronounceable names. The 5th goals was even helped into the net by the keeper, John the Large, who saw the disappointed look on the face of the Hujukian player's shot he had just saved. So he dropped the ball, and allowed it to roll into the net. What an honourable man, that John is! All in all, a fantastic day of football, which can be written into the history books as a record loss.

Our only quest now is to ask, can anyone beat us by more than that? The challenge is offered to you.

MUKA: I can't believe it! I scored 3 and killed 1!
KOKOLOKOHOJOKALLAMENIRSTALUMBANA: Yeah, but I think we should also congrat Kinaja and Kikenka, cause, you know, they scored without a knife.
MUKA: Man, let me be happy once! Yeah, Kikenka scored 4 times, but that's expected from him. He's the only one who plays abroad in a big team.
KOKOLOKOHOJOKALLAMENIRSTALUMBANA: Shame on Kinaja for scoring that weird goal that the keeper let in. Well, not as shameful as winning by using a knife. But, you know....
MUKA: Well, then, why don't YOU score once?
KOKOLOKOHOJOKALLAMENIRSTALUMBANA: Because you always tell me to pass you the ball. As the dumbass I am, I always obvey. You can thank me for assisting you thrice today, though.
MUKA: Oh, right, thank you.
KOKOLOKOHOJOKALLAMENIRSTALUMBANA: Anyways, did you notice how every Old Guardian celebrated after you killed.... uhmmm.... what was his name? Oh, yeah! Jack the Awful.
MUKA: Well, he was bad to say the least. I understand them. I actually picked him as the other team wouldn't be so upset and wouldn't want to sentence me to death.
KOKOLOKOHOJOKALLAMENIRSTALUMBANA: You're getting smoother with time....

The Slembana Times: Great win to kick off fourth Friendly Cup

By Peter Whiteman, chief football reporter at the Bird-Nest, Mapletish (attendance unknown)

Our Friendly Cup 4 campaign has got off to an excellent start, beating Anollasia 3-0 in our first game in our group, Group C. We might have had an advantage, with us being second in the Friendly Cup ranking and Anollasia being unranked (as they are newcomers to the Friendly Cup), but a win is a win. It doesn't matter whether you win unconvincingly by the score of 1-0, or handsomely thrash your opponents 8-0 (which was the score Hujukialand beat Old Guard by, in another match on matchday one of this tournament). Anyway, let's get on with our own match.

We took the lead in the 2nd minute, with a lovely through ball from Jyvx Dagens picking out the brilliant Val Kylx, who is 18 years old. Kylx lobbed the ball alluringly over an Anollasian centre-back, before volleying past the Anollasian goalkeeper to give us a 1-0 lead after just 1 minute 36 seconds (96 seconds) on the clock. Anollasia almost equalized in the 5th minute, with our goalkeeper, Toby Gapman, fantastically palming away a powerful shot from Anollasia's star striker. This shot proved to be one of only three shots that Anollasia had during the first half. This shows that we were much more dominant in the first half.

This was proved by a wave of constant attacks by us which culminated with Eddie Barlow giving us a 2-0 lead in the 29th minute. Callum Potts played the ball down the wing to Finlay Yalnif, who completely embarrassed the Anollasian left-back by nutmegging him. Yalnif then crossed the ball to the back post, where Barlow was waiting. The player, who will be 25 next month (March 2014), jumped into the air to meet to meet the ball. The former Chelsea City player powered his head towards the ball, which looped over the head of the Anollasian goalkeeper, and went in, making it 2-0.

The last 16 minutes of the first-half was when Anollasia's two other first-half shots came. Other than that, we were still dominating, with many of our players coming close to giving us a 3-0 lead. The closest chance to make it 3-0 in the 16 minutes between our second goal and half-time was when a low shot from Kylx was pushed around the post by Anollasia's goalkeeper in the 37th minute, with the ball just millimetres away from going in.

In the second half, Anollasia were a bit more dominant, but we were still getting the lion's share of the play. Anollasia had four shots in the second half, but we had 15 shots, with one of them resulting in a goal. This goal came in the 67th minute, and it was a Jyvx Dagens free-kick from 25 yards, which was curled around the Anollasian defensive wall. It went in via the crossbar to become our third goal of the game. This win puts us in a good position to qualify for the round of 16 of the fourth Friendly Cup.

OUR BOYS KICK OFF WITH VICTORY!

Cosgravia began their FCIV campaign with a 2-1 win over Max Empire. Goals from Eddie Hazzard and Lloyd Ciman were enough to see off our rivals. Gregor Vallieri hailed his side, saying "The boys are really up to go one better than second place this time, and with this win I think we've shown we're in with a chance."

More reaction to follow.

It was an exciting game to see, nevertheless the loss. The Kintran fans were alright, being used to lose. Kintratar

No more cheese and dinosaur orgies for the Swiss team
It was announced today that all players who wish to play internationally under the Swiss flag must cease hosting the ambiguous parties which have plagued the team in the past. Says coach Jonah Nizzy, "I started to become aware that involving in vivacious whipping furry dildo melted wax and cheese tyrannosaurus may have harmful effects on the ability on our team."

These felicitous parties were started by none other than former President James Hunt, who was impeached several years ago for murdering several innocent bystanders and then eating their corpses. The Swiss footballers, in recent months, have become incredibly fond of these parties, traditionally holding one before every match. However, the Board of Swiss Football has decided to take matters in their own hands and ban the orgies altogether, simply releasing a statement saying that they are "where integrity goes to die."

Playing right at home, at Dalmer Stadium.

The Caspar 1-3 Mapletish

Teófilo keeps hopes high on bringing home the Friendly Cup on home-soil as the current highest ranked nation playing in the Friendly Cup.

" I'm not here to disappoint nor am I here to give those teams a kick on their bottoms, I'm here to win the trophy that signifies the strength of the highest ranked team in the Friendly Cup." as Paquito Luciano spoke up for his team in a post match interview.

Mapletish kept their noses in front as they win the opening match of Group E right at home with a comfortable 3-1 victory over The Caspar to bring a close pint ahead of match against defending champions Royal Britannia who had a bye-day on the opening day of the tournament.

Teófilo combined a series of well-placed passes from Aarón Ernesto to bang in three goals for the Lions to bag a comfortable if not entirely convincing triumph, while The Caspar's solo strike came from the penalty spot via Patrick N. Søndergaard.

The Mapletish team were a newly formed side under Luciano ahead of the Friendly Cup and building on the inexperience of the squad, there is more to know that a lost would put them at the bottom tip of the Group whereas a win would have given them bits of advantage over their opponents.

The Lions notched up an early lead as Ernesto's did well to hold up the ball on the right-hand side and his cross after several unfortunate deflections from The Caspar, landed at the feet of Teófilo who curled the ball past Gino Holland. After just two minutes, Luciano's side were on top.

Despite the early lead, the Lions were struggling against a The Capser outfit determined to disrupt play by fair means of foul. The visitors would find their way back into the game in bizarre circumstances. All could only be blamed on the in-experience of the Lions as they have only played with each other for only 5 matches, as seen from the last few matches that they failed on mis-communication.

Channeling right into the Lions' penalty box, Patrick N. Søndergaard won a penalty for the visitors after Eusebio Dimas' mishandling of a cross from the flanks by Bogdan Zubarev which ended up with a handball. Søndergaard took the penalty fashionably.

The game continued on in a disjointed fashion, as the hosts struggled to find their rhythm in the face of fierce tackling that brought 12 fouls and a booking in the first half alone. It took another stroke of good fortune and genius for the Lions to retake the lead and go into the second half with some breathing space.

A horribly-sliced clearance from Donnie Cipriani fell straight onto the feet of Ernesto who got a through ball past to the on running Teófilo who tapped the ball in without any difficulty. It was Teófilo again who almost extended the advantage with a free kick that was struck so well but it ended up right in the keeper's face but he still managed to hold onto it. Despite their lead the host were far from their best in the opening 45 minutes.

It was Teófilo again as he brought the crowd to full voice two minutes into the second half with an individual piece of magic that deserved a goal. The man that have been chasing for a first team spot for the Mapletish national team skipped past 4 defenders effortlessly to go one on one with Gino Holland but his chipped finish hit the post, to the groans of the local support. Denied by the woodwork for the second time as Teófilo decided to make good use of his first cap to earn himself a hat-trick to earn the attention of Muain Newtons.

Despite the active activity on the other side of the field, Natanael Alfredo was at the other end beating himself up and getting himself alert as he saved a shot from the set-piece by Søndergaard who shot a penalty against him earlier in the match. Covered up by the active defensive back line who never gives the visitors a chance to slipped off their guard, Alfredo was generally well covered as he held onto the ball far fewer times than his counterpart on the other end of the pitch.

The early flurry of activity brought to a stand down as the game settled down into a low-key rhythm. Mapletish rarely looked like surrendering their lead, but despite the efforts of Teófilo, Santos and Pedro who worked tirelessly to produce the goals for the team, there appeared little prospect of adding to the tally. Where the main man for the match, Teófilo counting on his chances.

The vice-captain once more found the post with a wickedly swerving free kick, but this time the ball struck the inside of the woodwork and nestled safely inside the net, taking his tall to an awesome stand still accomplishing a hat-trick on his first appearance in Mapletish kit. The strike was definitely enough to dampen the spirits of the visitors as they start to tear themselves apart.

Søndergaard could only see his efforts gone to waste as he saw a late header ruled out correctly for an offside and this meant that there was no way back for the visitors who slumped on their first match in their first appearance in the Friendly Cup. The win saw the Lions sit at the top of the group comfortably before a clash with defending champions Royal Britannia that would prove serious challenge to the in-experience Lions back-line and foreplay as the defending champions faced off with The Caspar first up in Day 2.

The Holy Temple Of Bacon Strips 1-4 South Slembana

The only game in Maklohi Vai's group was fairly one sided, while the Vaian team took a bye. It appears this could be a winnable group, as there is no previous experience from any team, but maybe that's exactly why it's so hard. The Vaians play tomorrow, so we'll see then.

Brits ready for opener

The holding champions, Royal Britannia, are gearing up for their opening game of the group stages tonight, after watching hosts Mapletish thrash their next opponents, The Caspar. Despite many saying the game will be an easy win for the Brits, captain Roger Sendon says the team should be "prepared for a real fight."

The team is set to line up with it's strongest eleven, giving Jack Owens his competitive debut in a Britannic shirt.
