Chromatika 1-1 Qasden (2-1 AET) @ Kionao Minor Field, Kionao, Turori
Starting Lineup vs. Qasden: Nier; Morningstar - Aart - Ellen; Kelly (C) - Sybill - Montague - Dragana; Victoriane - Andisori - Antonio. Subs: Damjana -> Ellen '52, Hellion -> Sybill '69, Niro -> Antonio '73
Goals vs. Qasden: Victoriane '78 assisted by Kelly, Niro '118 assisted by Hellion
Player of the Match: Ki Niro (1 goal)
Summary: What a match it was at Kionao Minor Field. On one side Chromatika, a top 4 team in the world. On the other, Qasden, back-to-back Cup of Harmony champions. Chromatika could not solve the mystery of Abbott and his fellow defenders for the longest time, and it was instead Onyx Foster who buried a neat cross by Ryan Xandreas past Nier in the thirty-eighth minute. Parker countered past halftime by subbing in Hellion to create more opportunities off set pieces, but the Qad backfield really earned their pay and bottled down on the Chromatik forwards, trying to hold onto the lead. Parker decided to buck tradition by substituting Ki Niro in for Gabriella Antonio, deciding to go with speed instead of experience. Five minutes later, Niro's run down the center was blocked by Abbott, but the rebound was taken by Kelly, who found Victoriane in prime position to equalize. In overtime, the Chromatiks' experience and finesse started to take over, with Qasden trying to play for penalty kicks. With Chromatika's record in penalties in mind, the players found one more wave of energy, and the fresh Niro ran in a deflection of Hellion's cross for the win.
Next? That fateful tiebreaker against Cosumar, whose head to head record is 1 win, 1 draw, and 1 loss. Nier's first crack at Cosumar, and Antonio's last chance at another Semifinal in the AOCAF. Would Chromatika be in form enough for the Vanquishers? Between the two emerging powers of Atlantian Oceania and the World, only one will go unto the Semifinals...
Projected Starting Lineup vs. Cosumar: Nier; Morningstar - Aart - Ellen; Kelly (C) - Sybill - Montague -
Dragana; Victoriane - Andisori - Antonio.

MD3: Two examples of dragon-related road signs unique to Cosumar, each corresponding to one of the two species of dragon found here. The Cosumarite Azure Dragon, the large and majestic beasts that have come to symbolize this land, are ancient and reclusive creatures that rarely stray from the heart of their vast territory. Nevertheless, the extremely rare encounters can be catastrophic, so you can find red warning signs (A) dotted all along roads that border the Azure Dragon Reserve in Cosumar's northern peninsula. The sign attempts to convey the fearsome size of the creatures to foreign tourists by showing its frame overshadowing one of the large karst rock formations that define the terrain of the northern peninsula. These signs are a local curiosity and not familiar to most Cosumarites. Sign B, however, is universally-known here due to the complete opposite nature of the creature it depicts: the Cocodragon. These insatiable overgrown lizards are not shy and are considered pests in many Cosumarite cities. They're the bane of drivers Fiefdomwide because they're too oblivious (or lazy) to fly out of the way of cars, yet stillchubbylarge enough to damage a vehicle.
A) Cosumarite Azure Dragon warning on Parougan Fief Freeway 6, which famously borders the massive and mysterious Azure Dragon Reserve. Purpose: human safety (hence Red color - for potential danger).
...
B) Far more common Fiefdomwide, a Cocodragon-Crossing sign in Zakhoro, Ankortroth Fief. Purpose: more for the protection of the Cocodragons, which are small enough to be harmed by vehicles (hence Yellow color - for simple caution).

Player of the Match: Starling center back Deirdre McNessa (above, before match) was central to the Vanquishers' first Quarterfinals success. Instrumental in shutting down club teammate Andisori in defense, intervening time and time again, McNessa also scored the first goal on an inch-perfect header.

Oh yes, you read that headline correctly. President Revan F. Bernat, only three short weeks past announcing a 42.0 billion dollar deal to purchase Lucorias from San Jose Guayabal, has announced the purchase and acquisition of ANOTHER nation to add to the rapidly expanding Echani Republic.
A postcard from Echani South Yerfilag, a(nother) new territory in the Echani Republic
Welcome to the Echani Republic, South Yerfilag! Easily the best move you, or any nation in the multiverse, could make. The primarily Afrikaans and English speaking nation is awaiting ratification by the Senate to officially become a member of the Echani Republic, but it’s pretty much a done deal. President Revan has confirmed that Afrikaans will be permitted to carry on as an official language, with a proposal in generous funding to the education system of South Yerfilag to make English officially taught as the second language, making primary schooling bilingual, which makes sense when you think about it; pretty much no Echani speak a lick of Afrikaans. They aren't uncivilized whatsoever, they do drive on the right after all, they just need a push in the right linguistic direction.
Well, we might have spoken too quickly because it is baseball, not football, that is South Yerfilag's national past-time. That's………that's worrisome, very clearly a sign of something being not entirely at all correct with Yerfilagi culture; everyone knows football is the best. Well, at least it isn't cricket, truly a monstrosity of a sport. Joking aside, their obsession with baseball is a great thing. There are countless baseball diamonds, professional and amateur teams playing all day ever day, as far as the eye can see. As a result, the sporting infrastructure in the country is obviously great, but the people themselves are quite fit and athletic; certainly they will be welcome additions to our military and the general very fit nature of the Echani people in general, a lot of room for some good cross-cultural communication and innovations.
Major population centers of the country are Praetors' Point, Paasro, Embry, Delpek, Sunbury, Southpointe, Baarsbruck, Middelsburg, and Heelje; our task it made by easy by these cities and indeed the vast majority of Yerfilagi have consented to a peaceful assimilation. Of course, there's bound to be some holdouts but nothing can stand in the way of the Echani military, so any rebellious elements will quickly be put down.
Undoubtably one of the best aspects of our newly acquired territory is the plentiful supply of rare earth metals and important minerals for the construction of advanced electronics and technology. The nation almost boasts a very, very impressive state of the art telecommunications industry, with major players being ZedCel and Unitel. Their technological capabilities will make them invaluable additions to the Echani Republic, and their telecommunications facilites offer intriguing possibilities of a Radio Free Eshan or something similarly named to broadcast pro-Eshan newscasts and information, propaganda overall, into Rushmore and Esportiva.
What next for our great Republic? We've nearly doubled in landmass in the past month, and we've established a holding in Rushmore through South Yerfilag. Where do we go from here? The answer is both clear yet murky.
We must start by bringing Lucorias and South Yerfilag totally under our control and install docile, Echani governments into the nations and totally ensure their place under Eshan in the Republic. We will need to the nature of our Congress; what sort of voting rights do these people have? Can they run for office? How do we ensure adequete and fair representation for them within the halls of government?
They're our people now. Certainly they are nowhere near equal to Echani, no where near as capable either, but they are still our people,
our responsibility. We have an obligation to them to provide and elevate their standard of living; after all, a rising tide lifts all boats.
