One of the two largest sports in Ko-oren. As in: gridiron and soccer are the only two sports played all over the country. With how large gridiron rosters are, there are 'only' 60 teams across the country. The top twelve play in the Top League, divided into an Eastern division and a Western division. The next twelve, the Second Division, have the talent - across all age groups - are feeder teams to the Top League, with a one-on-one relationship. The same goes for the Third Division, whose twelve teams consist of just U23 talent. Players who 'graduate' D3 may go straight to the Top League, but often they'll mature for a year or two in D2. The remaining teams play in two independent leagues: the Naval League for navy personnel, and the Service League for other organisations ranging from the air force to firefighters, police, the postal service, and so on. Those players can be signed by Top League teams and placed in their feeder teams across D2 and D3, but almost all pro-ready talent goes straight into D3.

Ko-orenite gridiron is seen as defensive, but that's not entirely fair. Eastern teams - historically the ones to supply most of the national team players - are a little more defensive, with Sterrenwolde's reputation for an amazing secondary, or Aerellen's and Noordrug's defensive lines. Both Schemerdrecht teams, also operating in the eastern division, have usually fielded very capable offences. On the western side, the Centaurs often rule the 'yards gained' table, and the Wolves built too many great running games to be a coincidence.

The season starts at the end of the Selpernim (Summer) holiday, with the first round held in the last weekend of the vacation. Weeks 7 through 9 are 'rural' weeks, held in and after the Tharathju (Autumn) vacation, where teams play in smaller venues outside the city but still within their 'market'. Weeks 11 and 15 are rivalry weeks, which is where we see all 12 teams active and playing their biggest rival (see below). With two bye weeks, there are 18 regular season weeks, which end just before Zedhakha (Winter solstice). On Zedhakha we have the D2 and D3 finals. The two weeks after that are the Divisional final (East #1 versus East #2 and West #1 versus West #2). The winners of those games meet after that in the grand final, which takes place in the final weekend of the Kidignir (Winter) vacation, on the final day of the year in most nations' calendars - December 31.

Weeks 1, 3, 4, 7, 8, 9, and 10 are for games outside the division (West vs East). The remaining weeks are divisional games. Weeks 11 through 18 are only divisional games, so playoff implications are a given.

Rivalries

Greencaster Godspeed -

Willowbourne Saints: the Urban Derby (or 'Durby'). The two biggest markets in the country means that this game dominates the screen when it's played. The Saints' red and the Godspeed's green clash fantastically as well.

Mayara Wolves -

Mayara Destroyers: the Capital Clash. The scrappy line play and awesome run plays by the Wolves versus the majestic aerial offences by the Destroyers, paired with some hard hitting defences. It's black and ~~blue~~ green football!

Mawryshire Centaurs -

Eaglebury Emperors: the Southwestern. The Centaurs have some of the greatest passers in league history don its brown and green, while the Emperors' yellow decorated legends at any position. It's by far the largest thing on the west coast, this game.

Aminey Caspians -

Sterrenwolde Dragonflies: the Battle for the Bay. Two of the - if not the - best and most decorated teams in the league. The Dragonflies' artistic secondary and the Caspians'

Schemerdrecht 65ers -

Schemerdrecht Admirals: het Gevecht om Schemerdrecht. Two old teams that, at times, care more about the rivalry than about the division. Fierce and heated.

Noordrug Astronauts -

Aerellen Explosions: the Northeastern (or 'the Snowdown'). Often played in horrid conditions, there's a surprising amount of sportsmanship between players and fans. More man versus nature than man versus man. The result obviously still matters a lot.

Eaglebury Emperors -

Mayara Destroyers: the Western Crown

Noordrug Astronauts -

Sterrenwolde Dragonflies: the Eastern Crown

Association Football

One of the two largest sports of Ko-oren, and the only one to have teams all over the archipelago, having roots in every single neighbourhood of the country. It all comes down to the extensive pyramid, with a twelve-team Top League involving two phases: first a full round-robin, and then two separate full round-robin leagues: teams 1-6 and then teams 7-12. The other layers of the pyramid don't do that: the Second Division involves twelve clubs who play each other three times each. The Third Division has the same format, but involves a Northern and Southern league of 12 teams each. The Fourth Division does the same thing, but split into six. Beyond the fourth tier we have 24 Amateur Regions, all with varying formats, numbers of teams, and internal promotion-relegation. Since a few years, the pyramid is fully open with promotion and relegation between all layers. This culminates in a set of playoffs (aside from direct promotion/relegation) in the middle of the cup finals (see below) that make the final three weeks of the Ko-orenite season a beautiful thing to watch - first it's the direct promotion spots and championships, then it's the cutthroat playoffs, followed by cup finals.

Spots in the RSC and the IUCC are taken by teams from the University and Academy leagues: four Academy leagues of six teams each aimed at talented players aged 16-19 and three University leagues of eight teams each aimed at students aged 17-20 who want to continue their high level education while remaining available for a career in soccer. The oldest and storied teams of Ko-oren have Reserve Teams which take their place in the IFCF RSC if needed.

Altogether that gives us around 512 teams, who all compete in the Grand Open Cup (also known as Coupe Grande, Allemanstrofee, or Jaremzhesuru), in a straight knockout tournament with no protection for top tier teams. The top two tiers compete in a 5-day Casaran tournament followed by a quarterfinal, the Ko-orenite Cup for Professional Clubs (also known as the Coupe des Équipes Professionelles Co-orenais, the Ko-orenitische Beker voor Professionele Verenigingen, Gehrenini Athesuru Rurinesuru Kerpemimengiu, or 全コ・オレン有給団体杯).

The league might have a defensive reputation, but that's mostly only true for northern teams, after which the national team was modeled in the early days. Teams from the capitals tend to play for possession, while teams from Yoshima are very attacking in structure. Teams change their gameplans weekly depending on the opponent, but do play to their strengths.

The season stars immediately after summer, two weeks after the long Selpernim holiday ends. In between rounds, there's room for both cup tournaments to be played, and in weeks where there's only the Pro cup, the lower tiers play their extra fixtures - the further down you go, the (slightly) more matchdays are involved. The early season has multiple two-week windows for cup fixtures, but after the Casaran stage of the Pro cup is done (which is right around the start of the winter break), the season starts up in earnest and league matches happen far more often. The last round takes place in the week before the summer solstice, with the next four weeks dedicated to finals, Academy-University playoffs, promotion/relegation playoffs, etcetera.

The 'winter' sport of choice in the southwest. It long stood as the third largest sport of the country, but with the summer sports gaining traction and smaller sports getting bigger, there's not so much a 'sport #3' anymore, just a group of popular pastimes of which rugby union is simply a member. A member with a long history for its clubs and its national team, giving fans plenty of ammo to claim that Union still stands a rung above the rest. We have a very strong Tier One league, with twelve teams, followed by three regional second divisions, one for Gehrenna (the non-coastal cities), one for Mawryshire (and the west coast, as well as parts of the south coast), and one for Surbourneshire (the rest of the south coast). The same regions are used for the third divisions. For each third tier, there are two fourth tiers: Gehrenna, Willowbourne (both promote to Gehrenna), Mawryshire and the Springlands (both promote to Mawryshire), and Surbourneshire and Leeshire (both promote to Surbourneshire).

Strategies tend to be variable, with gameplans updated weekly, tailored to the upcoming opponent. Any regional distinction has disappeared over time: western teams had a reputation for larger forward packs. The modern game sees a lot of all-rounders (particularly forwards and centres), an emphasis on kicking, and tempo changes (paired with attacking off 9 or off 10).

The season starts late Tharathju, a month before the winter solstice. From then there are 22 rounds until late spring. Special rounds include the rural round (5, 10) and the single city round (14). A four-team, three-matchday Inter-oren series is played between rounds 7-8, 12-13, and 18-19, between Gehrenna, Mawryshire, West Strand Riding, and Surbourneshire. After round 22, the division two finals are played as well as the Tier One semifinal (team #3 at team #2), with the Grand Final the week after that (the semifinal winner at team #1).

The history behind Tier One goes back decades. Team names have changed a bit since then, but remember that Vulpecula became the Willowbourne Foxes, Cassiopeia turned into Mayara Wanderers-Cassiopeia after several mergers and a poor track record for rugby union in the capitals, and Aquila is a direct ancestor to Eaglebury Aquila. Lyra's history (and 7 historical titles) are claimed by several modern clubs, but the association does not recognise that lineage. The same goes for Monoceros and their two titles.

Rivalries

Greencaster Galaxy -

Willowbourne Foxes: the Urban Derby (or 'Durby'). Much like the gridiron and cricket rivalries, the two largest cities and markets are involved, which means that media hype up the match for at least a week.

Ansonville Comets -

Aubury Swans: the Mintshire Rivalry. One of the West Surbourneshire triangle rivalries. Ansonville's a newer club, while Aubury has been there for ages, which leads to some patronising behaviour by Aubury fans. This match leads to some horrid jersey combinations, with Ansonville's bright blue and red versus the Swans' muted green and burgundy.

Aubury Swans -

Maynard Andromeda: the Leeshire Derby. One of the West Surbourneshire triangle rivalries. Both teams are ancient and have a lot of beef going back, though neither has had a lot of success. That changed with the Swans getting a title, and Andromeda responded by... losing two finals, including the final the year after Aubury won it. Not a lot of love lost between these two.

Maynard Andromeda -

Ansonville Comets: the Lowland Rivalry. One of the West Surbourneshire triangle rivalries. Always the 'weakest' of the three rivalries, until season 27 ended with this fixture as the Grand Final. Ansonville, a far younger club, won the title, kickstarting the rivalry.

Llandy Bulls -

Mawrystwyth Phoenix: the Mawryshire Derby. One of the Mawr triangle rivalries. Fiercely competitive between two old teams, with Mawrystwyth's team being one of the original ones. These two cities compete in everything.

Mawrystwyth Phoenix -

Penstead Bears: the yDhinas-yDremdwn Rivalry. One of the Mawr triangle rivalries. Both teams are among the original clubs of the old top tier, making this one of the oldest clashes in the league. Another interesting jersey combo with the green and red of Phoenix and the blue of the Bulls.

Penstead Bears -

Llandy Bulls: the Other Rivalry. One of the Mawr triangle rivalries. Further apart than Greencaster is to Willowbourne, both teams are Mawr through and through. Penstead is a tiny town compared to Llandy, but they do have the older team.

Idyllwild Coronae -

Willowbourne Foxes: the Gehrennan Derby. Both cities are close together and supply most talent to the Gehrenna State of Origin team. Both are among the original set of clubs, with the Coronae never winning a thing while the Foxes have been successful since the start (carrying over to the modern era).

Eaglebury Aquila -

Tarrashall Travellers: the Western Derby. Far removed from the other 10 clubs, Eaglebury are part of the establishment while Tarrashall are the latest addition to the league. Eaglebury - to many - is a hick town, but they look down on completely rural Tarrashall anyway.

The 'winter' sport of choice of the southeast. Growing from two small competitions, one in Finisterre and one on the Yoshima islands, the league grew out to a very important part of the annual sports calendar. The national team has been instrumental in spreading the sport, because there's nothing that sells as much as multiple world cups. The League One has six teams from Yoshima (Alara, Etena, Katashi x2, Nitoya, Selesi), two from Finisterre (Ferrovente, Santa Teresa), and four from Cote Austral (Aminey x2, Étouille, Linieux). The second and third tiers are set up as one shared Finisterre/Cote Austral competition and one Yoshiman competition, with two tiers in each, and all four competitions having 12 teams. Tier four is regionalised even further, with separate competitions for Alara (6 teams), Etena (6), Selesi (6), and Leleia (10) feeding into the third Yoshiman tier and the competitions for Cote Austral (12 teams), Finisterre (12), and the entire rest of the country (12 teams) feeding into the Finisterre/Cote Austral third tier.

In between club matches, there are four representative teams for Cote Austral, Finisterre, Leleia, and Yoshima (being the islands of Alara, Etena, and Selesi, in this case), who play Inter-oren games.

The season starts at the end of summer, in the middle of Jaranethan (month). Round 4 is played in a single city, rounds 10 and 17 are rural, where teams play in smaller venues in their market. Inter-oren games are played between rounds 8-9, 14-15, and 17-18. Towards the end of the season, from round 17, there are a handful of gaps for players to recover from a bruising season, with the season ending after round 22 at the end of winter. That same month, on the last days of Razhuditla, are the Semifinal (team #2 versus team #3) and the Yoshiman and Cote Austral-Finisterran finals. The Grand Final (semifinal winner versus team #1) is played in the Pithelelash holiday, around two weeks before the spring equinox.

The History of the league, as said, goes back to two separate competitions, one on either side of the south Ko-orenite channel. One dominated by teams from Santa Teresa - of which only one remains, the Sabres - and the other dominated by teams from Katashi - of which two remain, the Hawks and the Wasps. Over time, Cote Austral embraced the sport over rugby union, and Aminey joined as the third big city, whose teams (Buffaloes, Owls) originally joined as two very far away clubs in the Finisterran league. A professional league was set up, and while it got decent attendance figures justifying its continued existence, most people remained loyal to their local (neighbourhood) clubs. The franchises slowly disappeared as they were replaced with the biggest of these local clubs, which is how we get to our modern day set of 12. No promotion or relegation exists between the top tier and tier two as a result.

Rivalries

Katashi Hawks -

Katashi Wasps: The Katashi Derby. Ancient and fiercely contested, the season is a success if your team sweeps the other, even if you finish 12th after that.

Ferrovente Scorpions -

Santa Teresa Sabres: The Finisterran Rivalry. Equally ancient and ruthless, this rivalry is central to a much larger, often friendly, conflict between the two cities.

Aminey Buffaloes -

Aminey Owls: The Aminey Derby. Slightly newer but now entrenched in the city's culture, it's the working class match to care about, over some more glorified and marketed sports like soccer (Aminey SC) and gridiron (Aminey Caspians).

Alara Spiders -

Etena Vipers: The Northern Derby. One team each from the two northern Yoshiman islands in a hard to look at game between maroon and orange. High scores are encouraged.

Linieux Harriers versus either Aminey team: one sided rivalries where Linieux wants to stand up to big city Aminey.

Nitoya Foxes versus either Katashi team: one sided rivalries where Nitoya defends the honour of 'rural' Leleia versus the blowhards in Katashi.

The summer sport of the southwest. It has enjoyed a big rise in popularity with the success and the increased activity of the national team: doing well across multiple formats, regionally and internationally, and putting cricket on national tv during most of the summer has really made a difference. The epicentre lies in the pastoral, grassy southwest, and from there on out six regions joined in playing national competitions. There's rainy, windy, unpredictable Mawryshire and its risk of losing overs (or days) to rain on one side of the spectrum, to the dry flat tracks in Eastern Surbourneshire, to the Leeshire fields at altitude, the artificial lighting and stadiums of Willowbourne and Greencaster, and the place where it all began: the charming, small-scale pitches of West Surbourneshire. Later on, twelve franchise teams were formed to play the modern T20 format, hoping to capture markets outside of the southwest.

The season runs from Dorapi 11 to Jaranethan 24 - from a month after spring equinox to the autumn equinox, almost to the day. First Class cricket (the 'Regions' Trophy') bookends the season, with six matches played at the start of the season and four at the end of it. List-A (the 'Kigirimakh-Yndwrnod One Day Trophy') is played in between the six First Class matches, before getting three weeks all to itself to knock down its final four rounds and the final, so it's all wrapped up before T20 ('Selpernim T20 Smash') claims all of the month of Selpernim - the hot month, concurrent with the Selpernim holiday, when schools are out for summer.

The Ko-orenite league has joined the LPB in order to upgrade our domestic baseball. We've always had a strong league with limited national team output - due to political struggles between Yoshima and Finisterre, and by extension, the rest of Ko-oren. Eleven out of twelve teams are from those two linguistic regions. Both claim to be the source of Ko-orenite baseball, but with Yoshima's far larger population, they dominate the news cycle. Eight are in Yoshima, three are in Finisterre, and one is in Cote Austral. So while both regions take the game extremely seriously, it's usually the Yoshimans who dominate the LPB's Ko-orenite conference.

That said, we have an annual series of All Star games played between the Finisterre Spirits and the Yoshima Devils. Trying to bridge the gap, players from anywhere in Ko-oren can play for either team.

The Triple-A teams are well supported and do a lot of important work in keeping the smaller cities and towns up to date on baseball. Many current LPB players have their roots in one of these two leagues. The Katashi League is a newer invention, aimed at giving new players an 'easy' way into Ko-orenite baseball by keeping travel intensity low: all teams play within the Katashi urban area. The Western League has a similar level but is aimed at getting players used at the intense travel schedules of the Triple-A leagues and the LPB. Behind them, the Alara and Etena leagues have a shorter season because of their temperatures outside of summer. The Selesi League is well integrated into the various universities of the island of Selesi - you won't find a higher density academic environment anywhere in the country - allowing players to continue their education while playing. The Leleia League operate as a Single-A Yoshima league, while the Finisterre League Two operate as a Single-A counterpart to the Finisterre League.

Hockey

Club: Angelwoud - Helburg - Laringen - Rozenvoorde - Donderen-Schemerdrecht - Herengein-Schemerdrecht - Wintertoorn-Schemerdrecht - Sterrenwolde-Stad - Hazel-Amber - April - Tuinderbeek - Vleugelberg
Regional: Oost Ko-oren - Centraal Ko-oren - De Hoofdsteden - Keijzerdal - West Ko-oren - Laringerstrand - De Frontier - 't Rozenvoordse - Schemerdrecht - Sterrenwolde - Sudaefjoll - Turnaarde en April

This sport is played in the state of Intermare, as an extremely popular sport to pick up on schoolyards, playgrounds, etcetera. There are two competitions: a club competition between the best of the best, including almost exclusively Intermarean teams - the city of Schemerdrecht is even represented three times. The non-Intermarean teams are Hazel-Amber, from Sudaefjoll to the east, and April, from Tathsoren, to the west. The other competitions is played between regional teams, hoping to make hockey a bigger thing across Ko-oren, and trying to balance the teams, aiming for extreme parity. Six teams are from Intermare regardless, with the rest of the country divided between Oost, Centraal, and West Ko-oren, as well as de Hoofdsteden. De Frontier and Sudaefjoll are in limbo, in that they're just from Intermare's east, where hockey is still popular, but it's not Intermare. The season runs through spring, summer, and autumn.

Rivalries

Club
Herengein - Donderen - Wintertoorn: all three possible matchups are "Schemerdrechtderby's".
Laringen - Rozenvoorde, the rivalry between the third and fourth city of Intermare.
Sterrenwolde - Angelwoud, the rivalry of south Intermare.

Regional
Schemerdrecht - Sterrenwolde: likely to produce the highest level of play, between the top two cities of Intermare.
Laringerstrand - 't Rozenvoordse: see Laringen-Rozenvoorde.
De Frontier - Sudaefjoll: the rivalry of the hockey-playing parts east of Intermare.

The sport of the northeast - both the islands and the peninsula - as well as parts of the west coast. Ko-oren has always had an ice hockey scene, but it really made its way to national TV following a bold decision to go fully professional. Mergers, folds, and franchising later, we have a 12-team league to be proud of. The heartland still lies in Aerellen - the three northeastern islands - but attention is shifting towards the mainland, not to everyone's liking. The season runs from late Tharathju (a month after autumn equinox) to late Pithelelash (a week after spring equinox). Finals are played a few days after that, giving everyone room to breathe.
Ice hockey has gone pro! It took a few merges, moves, and folds, and the city of Aevanna only has a minor stranglehold over the league instead of a vicegrip, and there are about as many teams from the Aerellen Islands as from outside of it now.

Rivalries

Aevanna Explorers-Mariners -

Aevanna Scouts: the Aevanna derby. This one includes the three oldest teams, with two of those merged into the Ex-Ma.

Aevanna Plains Wanderers -

Aevanna Scouts: the Old and New derby. The Plains Wanderers are a new team, placed there by an opportunistic businessman, attracting fans from the newer suburbs of Aevanna. Those include a lot of 'mainlander import' so the Scouts automatically look down on them.

Any game between

Aevanna Explorers-Mariners -

Aevanna Plains Wanderers -

Aevanna Scouts -

South Aevanna Storm is a tough rivalry. Any game between

Egevea Islanders and any of the other four is a minor rivalry at best.

Launott Polar Bears -

Noordrug Bi-state: the North Coast derby. Both are old teams, with Launott a very sensible choice to put a team in, but the Bi-State are the only thing in town.

Lamau-Dartha Hunters -

Straudum Ice: the Sudaefjoll derby. Straudum is one of the original teams - as far as original teams can exist outside of Aerellen - and the Hunters are a new team in a rapidly developing region.

Southern Rules

West Strand Riding: Aralla - Eaglebury - Jillong - Myaranowra - Nyashawill - Tarrashall
Mawryshire: Llandy - Mawrystwyth - Penstead - yDremdwn - yMhinem - yNelseg

The best kept secret of the West Coast, Southern Rules Football is played in West Strand Riding and Mawryshire. Both champions meet in the season final - for most fans, however, the regional title suffices. That said, the national title game has gotten some traction - and sponsors - so naturally that game is getting hyped a little more than the regional dogfights. The sport is a favourite of sports hipsters.

Rivalries

Llandy-Mawrystwyth is always a rivalry, whatever sport it is. The two biggest cities of Mawryshire must compete for the title - they don't always do so - but this game is worth watching.
Penstead-yDremdwn is the rivalry between the teams of the far west. Go west, and when you've reached the point where the world ends, go further west.
yMhinem-yNelseg is the rivalry between the rural Mawryshire teams - but still (largely) located on the mainland.
Myaranowra-Nyashawill is the northern rivalry, far away from the other teams.
Aralla-Jillong is the northwestern rivalry, teams separated from the rest of the world by mountains and a slow train line.

Seasons

Played in cities all over the country, the basketball league went from a modest 12-team league with its teams located in just nine different cities across just three regions to a national system with 48 top tier teams. The old twelve of these have a notable advantage in development, scouting, coaching, and so on: the Lunay Argonauts, Ouleux Sapphires (both in Aminey), Couziers Centurions (Linieux), Gehrenna Lions, Maethoru Banshees, Mayara Blues, Senoren Diamonds (all four from the capitals), Etouille Energie (Étouille), Ferrovente Tazers, Miradela Silvers, Montelo Snipers, and Serramonte Castles (all from urban Finisterre). Given the small roster sizes and limited space needed, teams have sprung up in high density neighbourhoods.

Rivalries

The original ones: Lunay-Ouleux (the Aminey derby), Couziers-Etouille (the Cote Austral rivalry), Miradela-Montelo-Serramonte (the Santa Teresa derbies), Gehrenna-Maethoru-Mayara-Senoren (the 'civil wars').
The new derbies: Asahi-Higure (the Katashi derby), Scout-South (the Schemerdrecht derby), Eagles-Stedelingen (the Sterrenwolde derby), Stags-Sable Antelope (the Bruncester derby), Autumn Leaves-Spring Bloom (the Cirelbourne derby), Amandine-Energie (the Étouille derby), Central-Citizens (the Greencaster derby), Centrals-Circle (the Willowbourne derby).
The new rivalries: Anarcourt-Norille, Laringen-Rozenvoorde, Aubury-Maynard, Aviansola-Vurusen, Llandy-Mawrystwyth, Aonishi-Arakura-Furune, Eaglebury-Ansonville, Alara-Teragaseki, Launott-Straudum

Etena and Alara - Finisterre and Amandine - Leleia - The Capitals - Central Plains - Delta - North Coast - Northeast - Northern Bay - South Coast - Southern Bay - Southwest

To be competitive in future Olympics, twelve state-of-the-art facilities were built in record time across the country. The Northeast and North Coast ones can prepare athletes for winter sports, while Leleia and Finisterre and Amandine are better for the true summer sports. All twelve have good indoor options and swimming pools, so it was logical to turn a few team sports into competitions between the facilities. Cue a national volleyball, handball, water polo, and beach volleyball competitions.

Association Football - Season 27

Pre-season
12 teams, playing each other three times. The Top League is back! Some teams look like immediate candidates for the championship, others will have to fight to hold on.

Maethoru, Branvon, Aminey, Miradela
The four traditional powerhouses of Ko-oren have been in better shape. Maethoru is definitely not the kind of team they were around the start of the league, and currently have trouble finding players to cover their obvious gaps. Aminey don't look much better, though they have a tendency to turn ties into wins with last-minute goals; they can break a deadlock, but they have serious trouble turning a loss into a draw. Southeastern rivals Branvon and Miradela are in much better shape, but neither should challenge anything for a title this year. Miradela's attack is as strong as Branvon's defence, among the league's best, but they have massive shortcomings on the other side of possession. Mid-table could be in it for them, given the poor state of the league as-is.

Maynard, Bruncester, Cirelbourne
The three English-speaking teams from the nation's south are absolute challengers for the title. The cup is going to end up in the south, but no clue which team. Defence wins championships, and Bruncester has more of that than any other team, and Ko-orenite play favours the defence even more. Bruncester also has some semblance of a complete team. Cirelbourne, meanwhile, take their loss in the defensive side of things and have gone for a possession-based attack this year. Maynard are simply a complete team, balanced and very hard to beat at home given the altitude they are on.

Schemerdrecht, Straudum, Alara, Katashi-Kanatsu, Tanques
These are our remaining teams. Schemerdrecht also have a balanced team but no difference-maker. Straudum struggle, but their colder climate could save them some points at home. Alara have the opposite problem of Schemerdrecht: enough difference makers but no way to lock up a game if the need arises. Katashi-Kanatsu are rebuilding and have a wave of talents coming up, but it's unsure whether they will play, or whether they will make the difference this year. Tanques, lastly, could compete for a title later in the season as some key injuries should disappear.

After playing everyone once, the following seems clear: Schemerdrecht haven't been too troubled yet and their slow-but-steady approach grinds them wins - and even gets them big wins. Bruncester follow closely, and the massive middle pack starts at Branvon and ends at Straudum. Maethoru, with some unlucky breaks, can't escape bottom place just yet. Then again, Maethoru shouldn't have had much better hopes, from the looks of it.

Having played everyone twice, Schemerdrecht are still top of the league, despite some trading of places in days prior. The top six are all close, as are the bottom six. And even then that's a little arbitrary, dividing them into two tiers. Bruncester have fallen back, Tanques have exploited their returned players for a big break into the top half, but no team has climbed more than Straudum, from 10 points behind the leader to 3 points behind.

One day before the end, we have four teams still capable of winning the title. Bruncester look the best, points-wise, followed by Schemerdrecht, Maynard and Branvon.

Maynard play at home against Bruncester on the last day, for a direct chance of taking the championship against the current leader - a story for the ages. Maynard are ruthlessly strong at home, so they could at least keep Bruncester from their title, and at best, win it at home. That gives Schemerdrecht a big chance, who face league-lowest Aminey at home! If Maynard do what they've been doing all season - making their home stadium into an untakeable keep, Schemerdrecht should walk away with the title easily. Branvon are outsiders, playing away at Miradela. The cross-town rivalry of Miradela and Branvon is a serious fixture to consider, and there is no harder game on Branvon's calendar than the away game at Miradela. Schemerdrecht look like they could just win a title, as long as Maynard do not slip up.

Day 33
On this day, all matches kick off at the same time, so no outcomes are influenced by matches that have ended earlier.

15:00 - the whistle blows, and our four hopefuls kick off for their last game of the season.

15:15 - Miradela have scored in front of home audience and their half of the city of Santa Teresa explodes! Keeping their biggest rival from taking the title themselves would be a massive recovery to their poor season.

15:30 - No further goals have scored in the big matches, though Straudum have slotted one past Alara for a 1-0 lead.

15:48 - End of the first half, on a very tame match day so far. The top three all gain one point while Branvon looks eliminated.

16:00 - There we go! Final 45 minutes.

16:15 - Lots of goals! Tanques profit off of a penalty versus Katashi-Kanatsu, Cirelbourne get lucky from a shot that touched three other players before leaving the goalie with no chance, putting Maethoru behind. Miradela have scored their second over Branvon - knocking them all but out of the race.

16:30 - Maynard finally knock one in as Bruncester look winded from the lack of oxygen. They have done it once again - Maynard is simply unbeatable at home. That means they now lead the league.

16:40 - Five minutes to go, and Aminey have broken the hearts of everything that supports Schemerdrecht. The home team only had to beat Aminey, the last team in the league, at home no less, for the championship but now they have five minutes to avoid defeat and to hope Maynard allows one to Bruncester.

16:45 - No more goals! Maynard win the league off of their ridiculous record at home! Bruncester finish second in what turned out to be a direct championship match, Schemerdrecht are left speechless in a home loss against no. 12's Aminey that could have won them the title themselves. Tanques take fourth, Straudum is fifth and Miradela is sixth. Miradela have put Branvon seventh in their win - that's going to fuel this rivalry for another decade, and this is one rivalry that didn't need any fueling whatsoever. Alara are eighth by a small difference, followed by fellow Easterners Katashi-Kanatsu. Further behind are Cirelbourne, gutted they couldn't finish any closer to their neighbours Bruncester. Aminey slip ahead of Maethoru in their improbable win at Schemerdrecht, leaving once respected Maethoru in last place - the perfect place to plan revenge.

Post-Season
We know that Bruncester has taken the Top League, but what about the other leagues of Ko-oren? There are several divisions that could be called the second division, all leading their own pyramids down to beer teams from village such-and-so. The second division is popular with young players that want to compete straight out of high school, or with minimal tertiary education (as far as that is allowed by Ko-orenite law). It is also for players who are just short of the Top League but still are quality enough for a semi-pro contract. Meanwhile, there is a league for universities and vocational schools for those players that are serious about their education, but still want to be in the picture for a possible jump to a (semi-)professional team.

Yoshima 2nd Division Y2D
Motojagava, the largest club of the island of Selesi, took the title home this year. In absence of a professional team on the island, Motojagava is extremely popular and are usual suspects for whatever team might take the Yoshima 2nd Division. Teragaseki take second place, and a surprise third place finish for remote Otavura, in Ko-oren's far southeast.

Northern Ko-orenite 2nd Division NK2D
The NK2D is for teams from Aerellen, Poolrugge, Sudaefjoll, Intermare, Mayara and West Strand Riding.
First place went to Sterrenwolde, second to Dartha, and in third place came Arboren.

Southern Ko-orenite 2nd Division SK2D
The SK2D is for teams from Mawryshire, Gehrenna, Surbourneshire, Côte Austral and Finisterre. Winners in the south were Ambergate, followed by Couziers, and then Anarcourt.

University Athletic Union - Association Football League: Uni-North and Uni-South
Among its two competing top leagues, north was won by the University of Schemerdrecht, and the south was won by the Technical University of Surbourneshire.

Cup Round-up
The Dragonfly Cup is contested by every professional and semi-professional team in Ko-oren. These include teams from:
- Top League (professional)
- Y2D (semi)
- NK2D (semi)
- SK2D (semi)
- Uni-North (semi)
- Uni-South (semi)
- NK3D (semi)
- SK3D (semi)

Every league consists of twelve teams, for a total of 96 teams.
Round 1: SK3D, NK3D, Uni-North, Uni-South + worst 5 teams from NK2D, SK2D, Y2D + worst Top League team (64 teams -> 32 teams) - QUALIFICATION ROUND
Round 2: All winners + remaining NK2D, SK2D, Y2D and Top League teams (64 teams -> 32 teams) - 32ND FINAL
Round 3: All winners (32 teams -> 16 teams) - 16TH FINAL
Round 4: All winners (16 teams -> 8 teams) - 8TH FINAL
Round 5: All winners (8 teams -> 4 teams) - QUARTERFINAL

Baseball - Season 18

Pre-season:

Big market teams have the largest chance as of yet to attract the talent they need in order to develop their team. A lot of this has to do with the size of the team's farm system leading up to the starters in the Ko-orenite Baseball League. A city such as Katashi, in which baseball is unparallelled, could finance a much larger system than provincial Aonishi. Similarly, the three teams that are not from Yoshima, have a much larger potential playerbase than the Yoshima teams. This means that the Santa Teresa Stars and Ferrovente Whales have more potential (but more rival sports), and the same goes for the Western Wanderers.

This season, the star power of the Katashi Generals seems a big candidate for the championship. The Santa Teresa Stars also have a massive chance. Echizen and Teragaseki have some potential. As always, the Western Wanderers are a complete wildcard, and I'm giving the Nitoya Silvers my pre-season award for potential surprise! The Giants have lost some firepower to their cross-town rivals, and they might be early candidates for last place.

12 Katashi Giants            66    26   40

Generals in first, Giants in last. Katashi is divided among fans that can already smell that next title, and fans that are already thinking of next season and the changes needed to turn this team around. Dynamo, Dragons and Stars are in that next tier, though it's very close all the way until 10th place. Only the Challengers and Giants have a lot of work to do, but they're definitely not out yet.

11 Katashi Giants           132    62   70
12 Aonishi Challengers      132    55   77

And we have our next champion! Out of nowhere, it's Suvira Quarry! They came alongside the Echizen Dragons on the last day, and won via their superior H2H record. One win behind are the Stars, who have put together a good performance throughout the season. The Generals have sunk a little, but their rivals, the Giants, also have avoided last place. The Challengers had a 22 straight defeats in the second half of the season to finish 7 wins behind 11th place. I did expect more from Dynamo.

Second & Farm Division Champions:

 6 Noordrug Astronauts               11    3   0   13

The Wolves, after a very strong 7-4 opening to the season, win just one in the final divisional rounds. This takes them to 8-7-1, and allows the Centaurs to take second place - without that strong of a season. They go just 3-2 in the final five weeks, but it is enough and they'll travel to Mayara for the third time this season to face the Destroyers for the third time this season as well. The Emperors finish off with four wins in five games, the division holds no secrets for them. The Saints have a lot of thinking to do, seeing out the season with 11 losses in a row.

Not much changes in the East. The Caspians remain first with four wins in the last five games, their only loss to the Explosions. The Explosions win the final 3rd of the season, but it isn't enough to take second place in an extremely strong Eastern division. The Dragonflies just don't give up the semifinal spot after a 8-2-1 start to the season, and a 3-2 finish. The Astronauts and 65ers are given a lot of homework for next season. The 65ers don't look that bad, but closed out the year with 6 consecutive losses, and the Astronauts were among the league's worst all year long.

The Caspians make the playoffs again, while the Dragonflies are just happy to be here for now. They're not used to getting to this point. The Destroyers enjoy a strong season - they expected a winning season, maybe even the playoffs, but not the division win. The Centaurs have been on the up for a while and see their improvements finally rewarded.

Mayara Destroyers (West)           3 14  7  3  27
Mawryshire Centaurs (West)         6  3  0  7  16

Aminey Caspians (East)            10  3  3  7  0  23
Sterrenwolde Dragonflies (East)   10  7  0  6  7  30

In the West, the Destroyers make no mistake and outscore the Centaurs all day long. They headed into the second half at a 17-9 lead, quickly extended that to 24-9 after the third quarter, and ran down the clock after that. The Eastern semi had it all: scores, ties, extra time, you name it. Both teams started incredibly well on offence, trading field goals and later touchdowns for a 10-10 score. In the second quarter, scoring finally calmed down to the pace of the Dragonflies' defence. The Caspians finally got ahead in the fourth quarter 23-17, and a touchdown would be enough for the Dragonflies to tie it, an extra point would be enough for a win. With 4:30 on the clock, the Sterrenwolde team took the ball and drove down the field, finally getting their touchdown at 1:50 left - but missed the extra point for a 23-all score. The Caspians did their best to get into field goal range with under two minutes left - enough time, normally - but failed to get there at all. In overtime, the Dragonflies scored on their first possession to qualify for the Ko-oren Bowl.

Mayara Destroyers (West)           0  6  7  0  13
Sterrenwolde Dragonflies (East)    3  7  7  0  17

The Dragonflies win it all! They shut down the Destroyers' potent offence, even keep the fourth quarter scoreless for both teams, and they may celebrate the championship! It was a while coming, and the Dragonflies arguably still aren't the unanimously strongest team, but they showed they can seal the deal when it matters - and they're the 41st season's champions.

Semi-professional and amateur sports - Season 1

Ice Hockey
After a barely successful WCoH attempt, some of Ko-oren's biggest talents were signed by foreign clubs to ultimately help develop the national team. It leaves the league in a split between following these foreign leagues to professionalism but dooming several less popular clubs, or keeping with the current format but seeing the most popular and talented players leave.

Straudum picks up the championship on the merit of not losing many games at all. Second in losses are the Islanders, but they settled for too many draws instead of wins. The Wanderers and the Northerners complete the top three, so at least some Aerellen pride is reflected in the final ranking. The Explorers join the top three to go for the HCL 12.

Field Hockey

Angelwoud and Wintertoorn enter the season as favourites. Angelwoud has no weak spots in their starting 11, while Wintertoorn rely on an extremely deep squad and good coaching. It turns out that their season took a turn for the worse as the high expectations were nowhere close to their actual performance. Oostgemeenten took the championship on the back of a new good group of coaches and an excellent season by their star players; a fantastic midfield. Sterrenwolde finish second because of a team that revealed no big weak spots - Sterrenwolde have the team that Angelwoud thought they had. Herengein is a big upset to come this far, with decent coaching and a good starting 11 but no player that could force a match wide open by sheer genius and having an unproven youth team on their bench.

Soccer - Season 28 - Preview and Predictions

Alara:
They hired a new coach last year, and this season he had his first opportunity to buy and sell a little. That, together with the resilient brand of football he has Alara play, makes this coach-club combination a lethal one for next year. Alara look very dangerous. The coach has added some good players from the youth academy and university teams, the fans are looking forward to the start of the season, and the one point of criticism is that the aging midfield hasn't been addressed.
Overview:
Strength: Front office, coaching, depth
Weakness: Aging squad, midfield
Star players: Russell Swadling, Sanetomo Maeda
Prediction: 1st

Miradela:
They probably have the best staff in football, now also adding some data people, like the national team. They have lost a star player to Katashi, but otherwise their team actually looks stronger now.
Overview:
Strength: No weak points, depth, data-revolution started
Weakness: Still no answer to Branvón's cunning/fighting play
Star player: Erasmo Valente
Prediction: 2nd

Branvón:
Branvón have done pretty well in every regard. However, the team has ditched their long-time local hero of a coach, and instead went with a more possession-based, counterattacking team. Branvón's fans stand by the working-class football they've always played, and the move hasn't gone over too well. Despite the fans' attitude, this might be the year they can beat their rivals of Miradela. They have lost some firepower, but additions all over the rest of the team should provide a balance for that.
Overview:
Strength: Best additions in the league over the break
Weakness: Mismatch between players and tactics, new manager
Star players: Ian Neves, Carlinhos Queiros
Prediction: 3rd

Straudum:
As always, the skyblue Straudum have been able to prepare for this season in all the peace and quiet they need. This is the 10th year of their coach's tenure, and it might be the year for them. However, they've lost some serviceable players without adding much in return. They're banking on youth players, it seems.
Overview:
Strength: No crises, calm preparations for this season
Weakness: Team has less quality compared to last year
Star players: Peter Hellegeland
Prediction: 4th

Katashi:
A few retiring players have put this team in a minor crisis. Katashi still has players that should be able to carry this team, but the team will have a different feeling to it compared to, well, the last decade.
Overview:
Strength: Youth prospects and depth players
Weakness: Team is down a few years of experience
Star players: Hisashi Yamaoka, Reizo Yokota, Heliodoro Araujo
Prediction: 5th

Schemerdrecht:
The players that Maethoru added, mostly came from Schemerdrecht. They wouldn't mind, they're a few divas down now, and they have focused heavily on the supporting cast. So much so that it looks a very nice place for new players to land.
Overview:
Strength: Steady coaching, no more weak points
Weakness: No defining players
Star players: Ruben de Meester
Prediction: 6th

Maethoru:
The theme for this year, is revenge. Last year was terrible, and the Green must get back to the Champions' Cup status it always had. Fans are demanding results, though it couldn't get much worse than last year. The budget allowed for some big signings (Lynn Holstege), which they did, but chemistry in the team went down a little because of it.
Overview:
Strength: Big signings that should deliver from day 1
Weakness: High pressure
Star players: Lynn Holstege, Kherles Ensaunden
Prediction: 7th

Bruncester:
Bruncester looks a fair bit worse than last year. Some of their players might break into the star player category this year, which is what they should be hoping for if they want this year to turn into something good. Otherwise, they're a few starters down which might hinder them at the start.
Overview:
Strength: Fans aren't rioting for a change
Weakness: Many players left
Star players: Dennis Lampshire
Prediction: 8th

Cirelbourne:
And of course, where you spot Bruncester, Cirelbourne is never far ahead or behind. Cirelbourne have had some big issues this off-season: coach left, fans aren't happy with how the front office handled the new hire, and Cirelbourne will head into next season with an interim coach. Even though the player material improved a lot over last year, this is a net loss for the team.
Overview:
Strength: Good team
Weakness: No coach or depth
Star players: Lionel Dalton, Ethan Benjamin
Prediction: 9th

Maynard:
Last year's champions are in a tough spot. I didn't want to put them this low, but it seems all I can do. The green have stagnated in many areas except that almost their entire bench got signed elsewhere, and the fans aren't happy with how the administration didn't address any needs.
Overview:
Strength: Most of the championship team still together
Weakness: No depth, no additions, no improvement
Star players: Wouter Wouters
Prediction: 10th

Tanques:
What seems to be a theme this year: every pair of rivals is close together: Branvón-Miradela, Bruncester-Cirelbourne, and Tanques-Aminey (see next blurb). Tanques hasn't regressed much in all different areas: players that can single-handedly decide a game, the starting XI, backups, youth, coaching and fans, but they haven't made an improvement in any area either from last year. Last year's 4th place will be hard to defend with this kind of team and attitude.
Overview:
Strength: They didn't regress a lot
Weakness: They got worse in every regard
Star players: Maximilien Longchambon
Prediction: 11th

Aminey:
Aminey is the team everyone loves to hate: big city, big money - but no big football team anymore. The 'Hollywood'-team blew up this off-season, in a string of firings, angry fans, accusations of mismanagement, players leaving, and that while the team was 11th last year. Seems like an impossible task for this team to improve on last year.
Overview:
Strength: -
Weakness: They got worse at everything, new coach, new players, no chemistry
Star players: Chloé Beaulieu
Prediction: 12th

Soccer - Season 28 - Mid-season

Season Structure

The entire professional and semi-professional soccer system of Ko-oren consists of 8 leagues: one 1st division (Top League), three 2nd divisions, two 3rd divisions, and two divisions for university teams. All leagues contain twelve teams.

For all divisions except for the Top League, all teams play each other three times, for 33 match round. At the end, there is only promotion/relegation between the second and third divisions. Six teams promote from the third division, three teams from each league. They promote to the appropriate division (Southern 3rd division -> Southern 2nd division, Northern 3rd division -> EITHER Northern 2nd division or Yoshima 2nd division).

The teams in the Top League play each other two times, then after 22 match rounds split into two groups: the Championship Group and the Challenge group. Within these groups, teams play each other twice for another 10 rounds, for a total of 32 matches.

Meanwhile, the Ko-orenite Cup is contested as well, which is structured as follows:
Round 1: SK3D, NK3D, Uni-North, Uni-South + worst 5 teams from NK2D, SK2D, Y2D + worst Top League team (64 teams -> 32 teams) - QUALIFICATION ROUND
Round 2: All winners + remaining NK2D, SK2D, Y2D and Top League teams (64 teams -> 32 teams) - 32ND FINAL
Round 3: All winners (32 teams -> 16 teams) - 16TH FINAL
Round 4: All winners (16 teams -> 8 teams) - 8TH FINAL
Round 5: All winners (8 teams -> 4 teams) - QUARTERFINAL
Round 6: All winners (4 teams -> 2 teams) - SEMIFINAL
Round 7: All winners (2 teams -> 1 team) - FINAL

The first three rounds are scheduled in the first half of the season, the latter four rounds in the last half of the season.

Predictions revisited
Alara, Miradela, Branvón and Straudum were all said to qualify for the international competitions this year... well, at least Alara still has a chance to. Again, gaps in the Top League aren't huge but after 22 rounds and the tables split, those in the bottom six have no hope left for the CC or GC. At the moment, it looks like Tanques defied all expectations and is currently first, Schemerdrecht is second but should trump all other teams on goal difference, and Bruncester and Maethoru are our provisional remaining Globe Cup contestants. However, all the way down to tenth place we see teams that could get into the Championship Group and in the race for the Globe Cup. Maethoru, that took a lot of players from Schemerdrecht, are in fourth - but the additions that Schemerdrecht introduced are nothing bad either: they are second. Aminey, the diva team that imploded near the end of last year, are 11th, around where we said they'd be. The Surbourneshire derby teams, Bruncester and Cirelbourne, are split all the way between third and ninth, where we said they should be pretty close together.

Where next for Aminey?
The proud sky-blue team from Ko-oren's entertainment capital are in shambles. There is always more pressure on Aminey than on any other team, and for the second year running, they're incapable of handling it, Currently they only have Branvón beneath them, and that is because they play a possession-based counterattack with a cast of hardworking players used to playing a physical long-ball game. Aminey even have one of the best strikers in Ko-oren - so why aren't things working?

Players left, coach left, and no suitable replacements were brought in. Then a few board members left, which took away their responsibility but still left a poorly managed team with barely any good players. Maybe it's time for a rebuild? Bring in a manager with the promise to keep him for at least three years, and let him put together a team based on his tactical preferences, start a few youth players, and look to the future. Embrace a few bad years to come, but start flourising by the end of next season and get a Championship Group place within three to four years. Keep Beaulieu up front, but give her a creative midfielder to create chances. Aminey has some players that might turn very good within a few years. At least, that's the theory.

But this is Aminey. After a poor year, sack the manager, bring in a new one, burn down the team and then wonder why next year isn't much better.

Gehrenna rampant in NK2D
Now for some news from the lower divisions. Gehrenna FC is currently on a huge streak, winning games with goals to spare, and keep their losses to just one from 17 so far. That is insane in a division where teams are naturally closer together in quality. Unfortunately, what often happens to these teams, the manager will be gobbled up by a Top League team - let's hope that if it happens, it turns into a good one. Keep an eye on the 21-year old Tharasthen Pargalothen, who played all 17 games so far with 12 assists, and 23-year old Karolun Garaltothen in attack, scoring 10 goals so far, 6 of which after a Pargalothen assist. Great duo, but will they stay together after this year?

Data revolution stalled
As Miradela announced before the season: the data-revolution has started and is here to stay. Miradela has a good squad, but aided by science they would storm the heavens. Instead, the team imploded and will have to win four of the next five to have a decent possibility to make the Championship Group. Numerically, their game is sound, and the goals are coming - but no team has conceded more and they're third-last. I do think we'll see a turnaround, and the data-revolution will go on, but the Miradela experiment is not doing it any favours.

Straightforward promotion and relegation this year. 49 points or over secures promotion, under 40 points means relegation. Gehrenna slowed down from their pace in the first half of the season, totalling to 6 losses. All in all, Gehrenna had a massive season that will be hard to replicate for any team next year. In the University divisions, Willowbourne Technological Academy has posted the best results, though it is especially hard to stay good for years in the University divisions.

Practical messages: some of the longest team names will be officially abbreviated next season. The University of Agriculture and Ecology of Grainshire and Leeshire will be written as "Uni of A&E of Grain- and Leeshire", which by itself should already be enough to cut down paper costs for sports magazines by a few percent.

The top 6 qualify for the Championship Group: Bruncester, Schemerdrecht, Maethoru, Tanques, Straudum and Katashi-Kanatsu. That means that only Straudum challenged their position from halfway to take fifth place. Advance Alara, despite their massive attacking prowess (see the honorably mentioned scores below), finish 9th in what can only be described as a massive letdown - or proof that defence beats offence.

We've seen 6 games per round, for a total of 126 matches played. In these, we've seen 234 goals. That is an average of 1.857 goals per game, which is fairly low on a global scale but this is the defensive Ko-orenite league after all. Like in our World Cup Qualification group, away teams were better than home teams on the whole: 36.5% of games ended in a victorious away team, while only 34.9% of times, the home team successfully kept the three points at home. The remaining 28.6% of games ended in a draw. Away teams also outscored home teams 125-109. The average score in the Ko-orenite Top League was 0.865 goals for the home team, versus 0.992 goals for the away team. On average, the away team scored a goal per game.

Still, a 1-0 score was still the most occurring score. Over 4 full match rounds ended in a 1-0 score, closely followed by 0-1 and 0-0, further affirming that a single goal is worth its proverbial weight in gold in the Ko-orenite Top League. 1-1 is next, followed by 0-2 and 1-2, before we finally see 2-1, 2-2 and 2-0: there's your away team bias.

Maethoru SC have claimed the title and look back to their old selves as Champions of Ko-oren! In addition, Schemerdrecht, Bruncester and Tanques have qualified for the Globe Cup. Schemerdrecht were everyone's second favourite team this season but came up just short. Both Schemerdrecht-Maethoru fixtures in the second stage of the league ended in a 1-0 win to Maethoru, which well may have won them the championship. Bruncester and Straudum finish the season with amazing defensive numbers as we're used to, Straudum not even conceding a goal per two games on average. In the Challenge Group, Miradela climb up for the win in that group, just ahead of Alara who have recorded some crazy scores this season. All in all, Miradela even outscored them with 52 total goals - but also the league's second most porous defence.

After the second stage, the away team bias took on even stranger forms. Only about a third of all games resulted in three points to the home team, and in almost 40% of cases, the away team stole the victory away. Draws occurred in a little over a quarter of all matches. We have seen 377 goals, which means that the second stage was more goal-ridden than the first. Now, the away team scored over a goal on average, while the home teams came up just short of a full goal. In all, away teams outscored the home teams 203-174.

0-1 was still the most popular result, which happened 43 times (7 full rounds + 1 match). 1-0 and 0-0 are close behind. Then we see 1-1, 1-2 and 0-2 and the away bias remains. Now we've added some weird scores: 4-4, 5-4, 4-3, 0-5, 1-5 and 5-1. It might not surprise you that some of the away victories have been blowouts, too: we even saw another instance of 1-7. Yup, 1-7 was statistically more likely than a 2-3 score, and equally likely as a 3-2.

The extreme scores haven't changed after the last 10 rounds.
