Future bids for host stadia will be taken into consideration, though the default in case of no bids will always be the stadium of Stade de Torgos in Torgos. A final reminder also that all Rushmori nations only (including any and all puppets) will be able to submit their league champions only (or top ranked team in the event of multi-associational leagues of more than one Rushmori nation) for entry into the next CdC; this includes puppet leagues that don't submit to UICA. The submission period opened when Commerce Heights closed entries to the last UICA tournaments, and will close again when Commerce Heights closes entries to the next UICA tournaments. No invitations will be sent. You must indicate at the bottom of your league summary that you wish your league champion to take part, and I take no responsibility for missing it if you've only shown it in your table.

Keep your entries coming in for the next edition!

AOCL XXIX


Procedural Note
Due to the unceremonious nature of the Audioslav entrant fiasco of last edition, Cazadores Cathair has been granted a conditional entry into this competition, allowing Audioslavia three contestants, as repercussion for the procedural errors that resulted in their exclusion last edition.

Final
The 66 Stadium, Cathair, Audioslavia
(AUD)		Cazadores Cathair	0–1		Tihon		(CMT)


Two clubs whom many would believe might not belong in the Final somehow where, with Cazadores not having earned their berth but given special consideration due to the errors of their federation last cycle, while Tihon lacks much of the pulling power and fame of the other clubs in the competition. However despite that lack of stardom, it was Tihon who would emerge as the victors in Audioslavia, becoming the first Chromatik club to lift the trophy. All entrants into the next AOCL must have won their nation's league or be the highest placed team of their association in a multiassociation league, with the exception of Tihon who are guaranteed a spot in the next AOCL group stage. Should they fail to qualify directly, Chromatika will be granted a second spot.

Procedural Note: The Invitational Applications of the Crystal Empire and the Equestrian States were accepted despite not being submitted with the appropriate letterhead. Any other applicants that whose applications were not received did not receive an invitation to compete. Árgos LP was extended an invitation in addition to the primary applicant of [COM] as defending champions per the competition charter.

The Vilitan Cove Invitational is an International Club Competition. Designed to allow clubs who have not already qualified for a major international club competition (UICA; Cygnus Cup) a chance to compete on the international stage.
The Invitational is designed as a Fair Play competition, however an association may set any sporting criteria by which to determine which team will be permitted to apply to the competition.
Not all applicants are guaranteed invitation into the competition, particularly in the event more than 32 associations apply for consideration.

The format of the competition is a Fixed Bracket Knockout. All pairings prior to the Semi-Final stage will be two-legged home and away aggregate knockout rounds.
The "Away Goals" rule will not apply. Any match which is level on aggregate at the conclusion of full time during the second leg will immediately proceed to an extra time period. There will be no silver or golden goal scenario, and a full 30 minute extra time period would be contested. If the scores are still level, a penalty shootout will be employed to determine which team advances.

Semi-Final and Final stages will each be a single knockout match at a selected location in the Vilitan Cove region.

Procedural Notes:

  • The entry of Stevenson United (Dunnes) was rejected as no evidence of the latter rounds of their domestic cup was found.
  • Ulsa (Eura) were entered into the competition as titleholders, despite the Euran FA (again) forgot to enter them along with their cup winners.

Welcome one and all to the forty-fifth edition of the Cup Winners' Cup, brought to you by the Valladar Football Association. This edition of the competition will see 42 clubs from 41 associations participate, an increase of one club and one association from the last edition, with Ulsa entering as Cup Winners' Cup titleholders after failing to qualify through the Euran domestic cup system. With 42 clubs taking part in this edition, the cup winners from the twenty lowest ranked associations in the latest UICA coëfficients will take part in the preliminary round, with the 10 winners joining the remaining 22 clubs in the first round proper, from where the competition will be played in a straight knockout format. Defending two-time winners Ulsa are once again the favourites to claim a third straight title, however in this edition they will have to battle the club with the most Cup Winners' Cup victories, Raynor City United. Capitalizt SLANI's Flanders FC and Schottia's Port Sebastian are also solid candidates to win the competition, while Valladares' AS Bezieres, who were the first (and until now only) club to win three CWCs in a row, will be out to give more than a scare. Now, without any further ado, the draws:

Final Site Election

One FA (Darmen) sent its offer to host the final of this Cup Winners' Cup edition within the deadline, and it was accepted by the Organizing Committee. Upon seeing that there was only one bid submitted for this cycle's final, the Organizing Committee decided (begrudgingly) to vote to accept the only presented bid by acclamation. Thus the stadium that will host the forty-fifth Cup Winners' Cup final will be King's Park in Scott City, Darmen (cap. 35,000).

The 45th Cup Winners' Cup


Final
Played at King's Park in Scott City, Darmen

San Marco Storm (PCR) 1–4 Port Sebastian (SCT)


Congratulations to Port Sebastian on becoming the first Schottic Cup Winners' Cup winners, in the first appearance of clubs from both Schottia and Port Christopher at the final match.


Notes for Cup Winners' Cup Entry

  • Each association may enter ONE club into the Cup Winners' Cup, with the exception of Schottia which may enter one club in addition to Port Sebastian.
  • Should Port Sebastian win their qualifying national association or league cup, the spot held over for a second Schottic entrant will be vacated.
  • Clubs can only qualify through ONE domestic cup competition.
  • Each user may enter clubs from no more than two associations. Puppet nations must be declared upon entry.
  • With the exception of Port Sebastian, all entered teams must have won a national association or league cup; Super Cup winners and winners of play-offs cannot be entered.
  • Entrants must be posted in the International Domestic Soccer NewsWires (i.e. this thread), and at least the last three knockout rounds of the domestic cup tournament (i.e. quarterfinals, semifinals, and final) must have been scorinated and posted (with a link in the IDSN if it is posted elsewhere).
  • The deadline for Cup Winners' Cup entry will expire at the conclusion of the UICA Super Cup.

Stadium bids for the final of the 46th edition of the Cup Winners' Cup are now being invited. Only stadiums with a minimum capacity of 30,000 people will be eligible to bid for the final, and bids should be posted in this thread with relevant details of the stadium and its facilities. In the event that no bids are presented, the selection will default to Alexander I National Stadium in Swangard, Valladares (cap. 95,000).

Handon Old Town Hall, Handon, Schottia
Larry Watt composed himself with a sip of water; although something stronger might have done more for his nerves. Despite playing in front of 63,000 people every other week, and working as a columnist for SBC Sport, the Azoth right-back wasn't much of a public speaker.

'That's better,' he lied, placing the glass back down on the table, as he and his co-host, Jenny McDonald, prepared to address the journalists assembled out in the press room at Handon Old Town Hall. SBC Sport decided that he and Jenny were the perfect hosting double act, having taken over the Galacticos mantle from Boldsports at very the last minute. Schottia's nationalised press organisation had little experience in dealing with task of this enormity, therefore having Schottia's former captain and vice-captain fronting the event was an easy way to instil a little confidence in the event.

'All set?' Jenny asked, holding the door open for him, as they headed down the hallway.

'What are we actually announcing tonight?' He asked staring one last time at the script in front of him. 'Cause it seems to me that this is an announcement about an announcement, about an announcement...'

Jenny laughed, taking his genuine indignation for humour. 'They call it a "super-list" which as far as I can work out, in terms of prestige, is sandwiched somewhere between a long list and the free transfer list.' She pulled a face. 'So yeah... I guess it kind of is an announcement about an announcement, about... an announcement...'

'So it's essentially just every Tom Dick and Harry?' Larry frowned as he scanned down the list, which extended over three pages of A4 paper. Most of the names he recognised, although he had to say, he was suddenly gaining a new found appreciation of the SBC interns. The organisation had advertised for fifty young journalism graduates, whose job it would be to scout out anyone with a pulse. The serious work of narrowing the superlist down (and with it all the credit) would go to the senior journalists, with the editors making the decision on the eventual winner.

'Pretty much,' Jenny said as they came face to face with a man holding a clipboard who signalled for them to wait. 'And I've already checked, neither of us are on it.'

'No...' Muttered Larry, just coming to the same conclusion. '...I probably could have told you that for free.' He closed the pad of paper with as much of a disgruntled slam as one could create from a sheet of printer paper. 'Probably the only reason you and I were picked for this gig, we've got zero chance of making it on the list.' He tried not to pay attention as Jenny smiled and shook her head. 'Coret Hawks and the TL-East - we've got about as much chance of recognition as we do... as... as... as we do shitting golden eggs!'

'Not this again, man.' Jenny laughed. 'You've made the Galactico team of the year before. It can't be that hard to get recognised if they spotted you.'

'Yeah, the year we won the Champions' Cup!' Larry saw the smirk on Jenny's face and realised he was on a hiding to nothing if wanted a shred of sympathy. 'And I was the only Azoth player who made the bloody long-list.'

'Bleleleleh!' Jenny stuck her tongue and pulled a childish face. 'You know why Lionel Mah took the captain's armband off you and gave it to me..? because you're such a whiny bitch.'

'All I'm saying is there are a few obvious names missing here.' Larry concluded, stuffing the sheets of paper in his back pocked in defeat. Jenny wasn't going give him a centimetre. She set a high bar in terms of toughness, and expected others to fallow suit. That's what made her a good captain - a brilliant captain in Larry's opinion - she was exactly the right combination of fun and serious. Talking about being underrated, Jenny could have written the book. She had been playing her socks off for fifteen years - but unfortunately, all of it had come either in Port Christopher, or with the Nepharim Premierships biggest underachievers.

'Okay, and we're ready in: Five, four, three, two...' With very little warning the Production Assistant was counting them down. '...one!' A hand pushed Larry firmly on the back, and he had little choice but to follow Jenny out onto the stage. There was a polite ripple of applause (for what, he was unsure) as the two of them took their place in front of a room full of foreign journalists, all waiting eagerly with their notebooks and recording devices. There was a pause - a long pause - before Larry worked out it was incumbent upon them to speak.

Welcome to another edition of the Galacticos Index brought to you this year by the journalists at SBC Sport. Football might be a team sport, but this is the point in the season when we gather to celebrate the individuals who make the game that little bit more special. With the long-list close to being finalised, the wait is almost over, and to whet your apatite we have decided to publish the list of over two hundred players we have been keeping tabs on. For the vast majority them, this is will be the end of the road, as only thirty can make the next cut, and the index proper.

The long-list of thirty will be announced in the coming days, and in one week's time we hope you will all join us back here, where we will decide Galactico World Player of The Multiverse. As well as unveiling our pick for the team of the year, SBC will also be presenting prizes for the Galactico Youth and Galactico Junior categories, as well as the all new Galactico Manager.

In the meantime, however, let the debate begin.

So here's where things get serious. Our scouts have exchanged notes and the scores have been tallied up, giving us the thirty best performers of the last cycle. Every one of the players listed bellow can be extremely proud of their achievements, and their recognition here is their just reward for the phenomenal effort they have put in over the last twelve months.

Galactios Long-list

RM. Alexander Alan, Port Sebastian (SCT)
ST. Keira Andisori, Starling (CMT)
AMC. Cristian Arango, Raynor City United (VLD)
CM. Dilon Bánach, Lonngeylin Coast (SCT)
ST. Tájö Çíânflöné, Raynor City United (FFD)
CM. Evelyn Conjure, Brinemouth (SCT)
CB. JK Cottle, Handon United (BSE)
AM. Kim Coultan, Crawford City (SCT)
CB. Corella da Silva, Raynor City United (COS)
LB. Paul Doig, Port Sebastian (SCT)
ST. Daniel Dostalok, Handon United (MRC)
ST Xíxì Êns, Sabrefell Athletic (FFD)
GK. Robert Griffin, Sabrefell Moths (EUR)
CM. Rachel Hellion, Handon United (CMT)
RB. Louis Hordern, Handon United (SCT)
ST. Aaliyah Johnson, Sabrefell Moths (OSR)
CF. Cade Jones, Directus (BSE)
CB. Torbjörn Jorgensen, Raynor City United (COS)
ST. Alexander Kárpáty, Mallox (PAS)
CM. Rusalka Klein, Crawford City (NPH)
LW: Ilglerdiriel Lithvathar, Raynor City United (VAL)
ST. Corinne Martel-Burns, Tihon Tide (SCT)
LM. Scheherazade Meier, Sabrefell Moths (FFD)
LW. Marc-André Onasi, Handon United (CEN)
DM. Sterling Rose, AC Izotz Zubia (EUR)
AM. Isla Sibučić, Cornellians (COS)
RM. Imriel Townsend, Sabrefell Moths (APX)
CB. Mark Ünterhausen, Sabrefell Moths (SCT)
ST. Solara Vol, Sabrefell Moths (MRN)
AM. Fôrté Wínrôuge, 1830 Cathair (FFD)

The key to recognition seems to be success, as seven of the thirty took part in the Champions' Cup final. On top for that, a further ten competed in the World Cup final, with Crawford City's Kim Coultan the only player to have appeared in both matches. In terms of individual clubs, Nepharim champs Sabrefell Moths are top the list with six players, closely followed by Valanora's Champions' Cup winners Raynor City United who chip in highly impressive five. Handon United also rack up five entries; their club ranking, combined with a run to the Champions' Cup semis is no doubt a factor in that.

"Six Moths Comes As No Surprise"
Former Schottia captain and Coret Hawks midfielder, Jenny McDonald: No it's not a surprise, having played against them twice last season. Gerhard Thunder's side weren't favourites going into the campaign; but they are a big, physical group of players, and they really know how to hurt teams going forward. If anything, I'm surprised their weren't more listed.


In terms of regional geography, it would appear that Atlantian Oceania is very much the place to be, with twelve of the thirty names. The independents closely follow on eleven, with Rushmore lagging behind on six, and Esportiva limping in with just a single entry.

It would also seem that ranking really matters, with the majority of the long-list playing for top clubs, nations, or in most case both. Alexander Kárpáty is the lowest ranked player listed in terms of club ranking, and probably deserves some extra credit given what he has a achieved at Mallox over the last cycle. The Pasargan's goals helped the club now ranked 87th in the world to an unexpected Härlighet Ligan title.

"Kárpáty Would Make A Worthy Galactico"
Schottia international and Mallox right-back, Bella Thompson: Absolutely no one was predicting we would win lift the title. Alex [Kárpáty] is a top-class player, through and through; he deserves to be on this list as much as anyone else, and I think he would make a worthy winner.


The biggest talking point of all, however, is where all the Celtic Noviodunum players have gotten to... Picking up the Globe Cup, en route to the top of the world rankings. The feat is perhaps all the more impressive as it has seemingly done without any top individual performers.


Galactico Youth

CM. Dilon Bánach, Lonngeylin Coast (SCT)
RW. Brae Crowther, Chenoworth Harriers (BRE)
LM. Mehmet Curwyk, Mallox (COS)
ST Xíxì Êns, Sabrefell Athletic (FFD)
ST. Sasha Falkenrath, Willox Street Pirates (CEN)
RW Ishtar Fanaiyan, Eastweald (NPH)
CM. Jennifer Farrow, Crawford City (EFL)
LB. Jayden Fox, Handon United (EUR)
RB. Iben Fjørtoft, Raynor City United (VAL)
LM. Yuki Hatsune FC Capri (VAL)
CM. Mats Hedlund, Sabrefell Moths (BYN)
CM. Johan Karlovic, Tihon (MRC)
ST Sen Marsteller, OAS Royal FC (COS)
CM. Avi Renning, Port Sebastian (CEN)
AM. Isla Sibučić, Cornellians (COS)
GK. Sean Smørdal, Starling (VAL)
LW. Rowena Strongbow, Directus (NPH)
LW. Kati Szöllôsy, Tanrısal (PAS)
CB. Alfred Tidesson, Real Azuris (COS)
RW. Bryger Tidesson, Real Azuris (COS)
CB. Seve Vásquez, Mar Sara FC (VAL)
CM. Mario Valentini, 1830 Cathair (AUD)

While at senior level we saw the Independent nations make much more charge on the places - largely due to the success Schottia and Bonesea have enjoyed - at youth level it is still very much the big three that are nurturing the next generation of stars. One might even argue that it's more of a big two, as eighteen of the twenty-two are from either Rushmore or Atlantian Oceania. On top of that, all bar Jayden Fox (who was on loan in Cosumar last season anyway) are currently contracted to clubs from those same two regions. It's quite possible that this points to a direction of travel, and on this evidence, Schottia's domination might prove to be more of a blip than a trend. Some of these names spring of the page, while others are might have slipped under the radar somewhat. Either way, you would have to agree these players look set to have a big future in the game.

Schottia Di Bradini Cup winning manager, Jock Sonny: 'From a Schottic perspective Dilon [Bánach] has done really well, but it's hard to see past Xíxì Êns and Isla Sibučić at this moment in time. Bryger Tidesson is another player I really like the look of, but with the luck Azuris have had... it's not been the poor laddie's year. We'll need to see what the judges decide, but in my opinion, there are four or five players in with a shout.


CM. Dilon Bánach, Lonngeylin Coast (SCT)

Bánach has been a huge success story for both Handon United and Schottia, working her way through the academy set up, to become a key player for club and country. She came second in the SPL young player of the year awards, and played an important part in Schottia's World Cup winning campaign, earning a big money move to V-League side, Lonngeylin Coast.


AM. Isla Sibučić, Cornellians (COS)

SPL player of the year, and commanding a starting berth in the Cosumarite National team aged only twenty; Sibučić has been destined for greatness from a young age. The girl from the colony of Fevelo, terrorised defences the length and breadth of Schottia last season, making up for her lack stature with mind-blowing pace and dribbling.


ST Xíxì Êns, Sabrefell Athletic (FFD)

Sabrefell Athletic may well have clearly bagged themselves a very special talent. Xíxì Êns has already been setting pitches alight in if Farfadillis for years, and now we are about to see what he can do in the World's top league. You would be foolish to bet against the former Dí Maozöxê kid adding more titles to his already impressive CV. A phenomenal scoring rate, combined with a real ability to bring other into the game; Êns' goal tally is almost matched his rate of assists. If the Farfadillis striker's career progresses on an even keel, there's nothing to stop him becoming the best in the business.

"Best I've Played Against"
Former Schottia and Mâ Âlâmëómë attacker, Eoin Killanen: Xíxì [Êns] has been one of the best in country for years. He has a maturity far beyond his years, and to be honest, he might be the best I've ever played against. The next twelve months are going to be a test for him, but I believe he has the ability and the attitude to succeed anywhere.




Galactico Junior

RB. Keziah Broxham, Lotus Park (BRE)
CF. Elmo Brubaker, Hannah (TAE)
WF. Reay Cnocstanger, Willox Street Pirates (SCT)
CB. Sahara Espereth, Olympic Nassau Bay (CEN)
GK. Hanauma Ranbomahi, Tropicorp (TRP)
LB. Allison Levi-Gold, Sporting Esper youth (ZWZ)
RW. Anna Meyreani, Port James Athletic (SCT)
CM. Kai-Kai Mokumdarian, San Marco Storm (COS)
ST. Dulcina Radcliffe, Stahlburg Rovers (EFL)
AM. Marco Santa Oria, Lexington Victory (CEN)
CB. Roxelana Thorn, Stahlburg City (NPH)
AM. Sürgân t'Öéséné, Marine Coast United (FFD)

None of these players are close to the finished article, and in some cases, that's actually quite scary. A lot can happen over the course of a young players career, but at the moment, it's safe to say that this band of teenagers are top of the pile. It's hard to know whether any of them will end up lifting the World Cup, the Cup of Harmony, or flipping burgers.Whatever the future has in store for them, this may well be their first chance to get their names out there.

GK. Hanauma Ranbomahi, Tropicorp (TRP)

There could have easily been an international tug of war over this young keeper, eligible to play for Tropicorp, Vilita, and Turori. He is already a big star for Tropicorp Techies, and if his performances in AOCAF 55 are anything to go by, his is a name we will be hearing a lot more in years to come.


CM. Kai-Kai Mokumdarian, San Marco Storm (COS)

The way Mokumdarian drives forward with the ball has had defenders running scared all year long in the Super-League. The teenager, who came runner-up in Port Christopher's young player of the year awards, has made a massive impact since joining San Marco Storm.


AM. Marco Santa Oria, Lexington Victory (CEN)

A key player for Lexington Victory aged only sixteen, Marco Santa Oria is a name well worth taking note of. With a Rushmori Copa di Campeones title under his belt already, it looks as if a glittering career lies ahead for a player touted as Ceni's best prospect since Andrew Arrowsword.

"Absolutely Ruthless"
Former Port Christopher Skipper and Lexington Victory star, Diego Bandos: Marco [Santa Oria] is decisive, dynamic, and a cutting edge passer of the ball. This guy is absolutely ruthless in his ability to exploit any weakness in the opposition.




Galactico Manager

Jack Cordoba, Marionville (PCR)
Danie Izmao, Lonngeylin Coast (VIL)
Kennedy Kopenhaver, Mallox (COS)
Luke Longstar, Ceni NT (CEN)
Lionel Mah, Schottia NT (QUE)
Claude Pare-Achel, Keppal Cosmos (ZWZ)
Harley Sadek, Royal Jam (EFL)
Catherine Sedgewick, San Marco Storm (NPH)
Andrea Vardalos, Leichhardt (NPH)
Austen Willoughby, Celtic Noviodunum (NGD)

This is the point in the proceedings where we pay tribute to the men and women in the dugout. Behind every great team there's a gaffer, and the influence these individuals can wield is massive. The managers listed above have all taken their teams to the next level. Whether it's offering painstaking consistency or delivering titles against the odds, they're just as valuable as the players on the Galacticos list itself.

The individuals short-listed are a selection of names put forward by some of the Multiverse's top ranked associations.

Lionel Mah, Schottia NT (QUE)

When Lionel Mah took over as Schottia boss eight years ago they were a bunch of mid-ranked bottlers, who looked about as far from winning the World Cup as they did flying to the moon. In such a short time he has transformed them into a well-organised and effective side, capable of beating anyone on their day. Lifting the World Cup is the end point in what has been an incredible journey for the Quebecois.


Austen Willoughby, Celtic Noviodunum (NGD)

The success Willoughby has attained with what can only be described as a "less glamorous" bunch of players, is quite amazing. There are no world-stage stars at Celtic, no household names, but the team have been stunningly consistent over the last ten years, rising to the top of club rankings. Willoughby is a manager who seems capable of squeezing every millilitre from his players, and with victory in the Globe Cup, is assured of his place as one of the Mulitverse's top gaffers.


Kennedy Kopenhaver, Mallox (COS)

Just look at any league in the world and try to imagine the team finishing tenth going on to win it next year. It would be hard enough anywhere, let alone in a top division like the Härlighet Ligan. Kopenhaver has achieved all this without a huge spending spree, turning a young and previously unheralded defence into world-beaters over night.

"It's Going To Be Up From Here"
Schottia international and Mallox midfielder, Till Ümann: Kennedy Kopenhaver is easily the best I've worked with in my time in football. I really don't think I would still be playing right now if it wasn't for him. He has got the team bursting with confidence and the only way is up from here, we've got no intention of slipping back to being a mid-table side - those days are long gone.




Coming up next, we will reveal the Galacticos Short-List, along with the Galacticos-XI, and the eventual Multiverse Player of The Year.

The intention was to keep the Galacticos XI and the Short-List somewhat separate this year. Focusing on trying to use the former as a tool from which to build the most effective functioning team, as opposed to introducing just another cut.

So this was the best we could do, hashing together the players from the Long-List, hammering a few square pegs into round holes, and hoping for the best. Our team of experts have gone for a classic 4-4-2 (sorry, it was getting late) combining youth and experience, to build a team that would hopefully function well as a unit. How much this team would cost to assemble is truly mindboggling, so we have to look at potential opponents from a hypothetical viewpoint.

Galacticos XI

Goalkeeper
GK. Robert Griffin, Sabrefell Moths (EUR)

In Euran international, Griffin, the Galacticos XI would have a big, commanding shotstopper, who knows what it takes to perform at the highest level. The 27-year-old would be a safe pair of hands at the back, who has a habit of pulling off heroic saves. Perfect it the big matches

Defence
RB. Louis Hordern, Handon United (SCT)
LB. Paul Doig, Port Sebastian (SCT)
CB. Mark Ünterhausen, Sabrefell Moths (SCT)
CB. JK Cottle, Handon United (BSE)

This would be a back four who all know each other exceptionally well. With Doig, Hordern, and Ünterhausen all part of Schottia's World Cup winning side, it should be simple enough for Bonesea's JK Cottle to seamlessly slot in at centre-back. Experience and familiarity would be the key here, producing a settled unit, in an area you traditionally don't want to tinker about with. Hordern brings strength and pace down the right flank, Doig is a steady competitor who brings with him the long throw capability. In the combination of Ünterhausen and Cottle, you have a young, modern centre-back, combined with a seasoned competitor with a real aerial presence.

Midfield
CM. Kim Coultan, Crawford City (SCT)
CM. Rusalka Klein, Crawford City (NPH)
RW. Scheherazade Meier, Sabrefell Moths (FFD)
LW. Ilglerdiriel Lithvathar, Raynor City United (VAL)

In the midfield the Galacticos XI would be utterly spoiled for choice, given the wealth of talent on the Long-List. Schottia skipper Coultan and Nephara's Klein are two players who are already familiar with one and other, having both performed effectively as part of the same Crawford City side last season. You would have two technically gifted players who complement each other well, with Coultan's range of passing and fleetness of foot, alongside Klein's movement, confidence and ball-winning. Both women are very comfortable with ball at their feet. Meier is either footed, so she would likely be shoehorned in on the right. The Moths winger has got the invention to conjure something up out of nothing, and with Coultan and Klein to look to for supplies, she could run up and down the wing to her heart's content. Floating, dynamic winger, Lithvathar, wouldn't have defensive duties to worry about with Doig behind her, and would be free to use her pace to exploit any weaknesses in the opposition back line. With two predators lurking in the box, her assists would prove devastating in this set-up.

Forwards
ST. Corinne Martel-Burns, Tihon Tide (SCT)
ST. Tájö Çíânflöné, Raynor City United (FFD)

Martel-Burns and Tájö have been two of the most prolific strikers in the world during the last cycle. What the side would have are two forwards who are absolutely ruthless in front of goal, and are going to turn in any half chances that fall their way. A World Cup winner and a Champions' Cup winner, in many ways it feels quite fitting to have these two leading the line in our Multiverse Select XI.


Galacticos Short List

Our Editor in Chief, along with a hand selected panel of experts, former professional footballers and coaches, have been locked away deliberating on this one for days. One can only imagine there must have been a lot of disagreement along the way, but at great length, we have our Galacticos Short-List.

AM. Kim Coultan, Crawford City (SCT)
ST. Corinne Martel-Burns, Tihon Tide (SCT)
CB. Mark Ünterhausen, Sabrefell Moths (SCT)
CB. JK Cottle, Handon United (BSE)
CF. Cade Jones, Directus (BSE)
LM. Scheherazade Meier, Sabrefell Moths (FFD)
ST. Tájö Çíânflöné, Raynor City United (FFD)
CM. Rusalka Klein, Crawford City (NPH)
LW. Ilglerdiriel Lithvathar, Raynor City United (VAL)
ST. Keira Andisori, Starling (CMT)

Five World Cup finalists, four Champions' Cup finalists. Keira Andisori, and Scheherazade Meier are the odd two out, and are here largely as a result performances in the Nepharim Premiership. Rusalka Klein, is the youngest player on the list at twenty-three, and seven-hundred and sixteen years younger than our oldest shortlisted player, Ilglerdiriel Lithvathar. Interestingly, the list is also fairly balanced in terms of gender, four men and six women showing that Mulitivers football is very much a co-ed affair.

LM. Scheherazade Meier, Sabrefell Moths (FFD)

The Nepharim Premiership player of the year was the first woman to pull on a Farfadillis kit, when she opted to play for the nation of her mother's birth. At the time, she was turning down the World Champions in doing so, and her recognition here is yet more proof of what the Cormorants have been missing. This two-footed wide player was instrumental in Sabrefell Moths title winning season, as well as reaching the World Cup semi-finals with Farfadillis. Throw her CdC runners-up medal into the equation and it's easy to see just how fruitful a period it's been for the 31-year-old who currently sits near the top of the world ranking with both club and country.

We were lucky enough to catch up with her teammate, and fellow Shortlister, Mark Ünterhausen, who was full of praise for the winger:

Schottia international and Galacticos XI, Mark Ünterhausen: Scheherazade is just an absolute inspiration to play alongside. She's creative, improvisational, she thinks on her feet and you never know what she's going to come up with next. It's fantastic to see her get some recognition, which is thoroughly deserved, and hopefully this can give us all a bit of a lift going into next season.



AM. Kim Coultan, Crawford City (SCT)

The second Schottic player in three years to be named Galactico Runner-Up, World Cup winning captain Kim Coultan follows in the footsteps of Evelyn Conjure in collecting the honour. Coultan came agonisingly close to doing a very special double, captaining sides to both the World Cup title and the Champions' Cup in the same cycle. However, her side, Crawford City, were defeated by Raynor City in the final. There's a fascinating coincidence in the fact that Coultan was also Schottia's first female internationalist, and her performances have undoubtedly helped pave the way for the many young woman who have followed her. Coultan has previously played with Dundee and Jottnar Kallsmudden, but has spent much of her career with Crawford City in Cosumar. She has been a consistent performer throughout her career, but since Amethyst Fegelein's arrival at the Orangi Stadium, the 31-year-old has been utterly reinvigorated.

Schottia Assistant Manager, and former captain, Colin Donaldson: It was such a breath of fresh air; the moment Kim joined the squad. Back then the Schottia team were a bunch of old carthorses, used to playing direct football; so for an 18-year-old lassie to come into the team wanting to pass the ball - always looking to take players on - it wasn't always easy for her. Schottic football has totally changed now, and that's in no small part to the influence Kim has had on the way we play.



ST. Tájö Çíânflöné, Raynor City United (FFD)

Now a double Champions' Cup winner, Tájö Çíânflöné capped off a great cycle clearing up with Raynor City United, reaching the semi final of the World Cup in the process. Täjó has the speed and mental sharpness to cut defences open in a flash, exploiting any gaps he might find. Raynor City have been mind-blowingly consistent over the last twelve months or so, either winning or reaching the latter stages of almost every tournament they have entered. At the end of the day success is what all players are judged upon, and to those ends, Täjó is a worthy recipient. He might be approaching the end of his career, but he is still leading the line for both a legendary football club, and a nation, Farfadillis, which has become synonymous with attacking football.

In absence of as Schottian with a close personal relationship to Tájö Çíânflöné, we just grabbed the first person we could find on the street and asked him his opinion.

Scaffolder and father of two, Davy Stenhouse: Eh, aye, I guess he's a good player. Eh, I watched him in the Champions' Cup final and that, and aye, I thought he was good. What? Am I happy for him? Aye. Eh good on ye Tájö, congratulations, the pints are on you mate! Is that enough, do I need to say any more, or is that... okay, cheers.


Good on you indeed Tájö! A huge congratulations from everyone involved at SBC Sports on being named Galactico World Player of The Multiverse. Enjoy yourself and don't get too drunk.


OOC: I want to make sure Bonesea gets some much deserved credit at this point. It was he who came up with the concept, and much of the structure from this edition was based upon his model. Thanks also to everyone who offered me help and encouragement along the way, both were sorely needed. Similarly to previous editions, I'm not going to reveal the exact formula used to calculate the winner - however - rank, success, and RP mentions played a big part. Anything that can be put down journalistic opinion (or even sloppy journalism) I'm not going to edit, however, if there is anything that is factually wrong, then let me know and I will adjust it.

Procedural Notes:
  • The late entries of Gergary (FRG) were accepted. Since Gergary have only elected to participate in the Campionato Esportivano di Campeones, and not another competition, their entries are included in this cycle on the condition that their association submit a list of entries before the next UICA Super Cup to qualify for the 28th edition.
  • One final site bid was listed amongst the CEdC applicants. By rule of default, this site, Princess Hawana Stadium, Bed Gon, Copper Cuprum, was selected for the CEdC final for this edition.
TOURNAMENT MUST BE RE-SCORINATED. THANKS FOR YOUR PATIENCE.



Entries will now be accepted for the twenty-eighth edition of the Campionato Esportivano di Campeones.
  • Each association residing in the region of Esportiva is allowed to submit two (2) teams for entry into the CEdC.
    Soltsteed wrote:
    • Traditional European-style leagues might submit their [regular-season champion and either] runners-up, a cup winner or the winners of a qualifying play-off (iirc, SJG used to use this last format).
    • Leagues that decide the championship by play-off might submit the [playoff winner and either their] losing finalists or regular season winner.
    • Apertura-Clausura leagues would naturally submit the winners of each section[, unless the same team won both sections, in which the football association reserves the right to send a second team on sporting merit using the criteria above]
    • (NOTE: The Damukuni Football League uses a special system for determining CEdC participants, but it is still considered qualification by sporting merit.).
    As far as I am concerned, how each association decides qualification is their prerogative outside the obvious sporting merit clause.
  • All entries must be prefaced specifically with the abbreviation "CEdC".
  • The cutoff for submissions coincides with the posting of the UICA Champions' Cup finals and Super Cup.
  • Final site bids will be considered for this edition.
    • Final site bids must contain a stadium of at least 55,000 seats, a stadium name, and its location.
    • Optionally, you may add a short description of the stadium and any famous football-related happenings there.
    • The default site, if no bids are submitted, is Naruto Shinagawa Field, Atarashii-Damushuto International Stadium, Atarashii-Damushuto, United States of Damukuni.

With no eligible sponsor bids for the CEdC, the Damukuni Football Association, as curator of the CEdC, has elected to renew the contract with DRIVE Technologies plc to sponsor the twenty-eighth and twenty-ninth editions of the CEdC. Sponsorship bids will be considered during the period between those two editions.

1093 Club de Atlantea

Ground:Cattle Ranch (20,000)
Manager:Everett Anderson
Colors:White and Yellow
Jerseys:
Fan Support:Medium
Expectations:Finish Top 5
Starters:Horst, James, Carpathia, Sellus, Drake, Foster, Jaln, Baker, Feirce*, Olsen, Kahn
ReservesEverett, Avery, Sanchez, Hornet, Wright
Sponsor:Sound Wave Electronics
Nickname(s):Cardinal
Offseason Moves: Bought Center Midfielder Liam Baker from AC Quarant Xa’virt. Bought Left Back Hollands James from SK Nethers United FC.Bought Center Back James Carpathia from Moresville FC. Named Adam Feirce Captain.
Championships: 58
Other Accolades: Benevolence Bowl 22
Last Season Finish:12th
Team Info It continues to be a rather run of the mill squad for 1093 de Atlantea. While only a few years removed from winning the title, they continue to have a rather unimpactful effect on the table. Each season they continue to be a rather not strong side, and with a lot of young players, but to be honest not a lot good young players they are not looking like a strong side in the table.

Al Haxire

Ground:Al Haxire Club Stadium 200,000
Manager:Benjamin Rover
Colors:Green and White
Jerseys:
Fan Support:Medium
Expectations:Avoid Relegation
Starters: Stevenson, Carindal, Corsaire, Jessamont, Morgenstern, Melvin, Madison, Flintlock, Covaugh, Clark, Kevin
Reserves Markitson, Porter, Pierre, Kove, Smith
Sponsor:Al Haxire Automotive
Nickname(s):Djinnis
Offseason Moves:None
Last Season Finish:2nd Erste Liga
Championships
Team Info Al Haxire returns to the top flight as probably a favorite to get relegated back to the second division. That said they have some talented youngsters on their team, notably Shiloh Morgenstern. They are a rathe rinteresting squad for the most part, but them doing much more than finishing at the bottom of the table is rather unlikely.

Atlantea Hurricanes

Ground:Atlantea Coliseum 590,000
Manager:Alexandre Giroux
Colors:Blue and Green
Jerseys:
Fan Support:Very High
Expectations:Finish Top Half
Starters:Pacabel, Franz, Fassiono, Baker, Pern, Drew, Falanae**, Noctus, Baker, Hutch*, Martin
ReservesMadison, Foster***, Jones, Caracas, Gallagher
Sponsor:Tae-Mart
Nickname(s):Hurricanes, Canes
Offseason Moves: Loaned Aidan Foster to FC Dunnes. Named Jon Hutch Captain. Bought Right Back Tim Drew from Moresville FC.
Championships: 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 15, 21, 24, 26, 36
Other Accolades: Globe Cup 18 Runners Up, Fadron Pizza Cup Winners 4, 14, Benevolence Bowl Winners 1
Last Season Finish:6th
Team Info It was a return to form for one of the best clubs in the history of Taeshani soccer. While it has been years since the team has come even close to the international spots, it was an impressive year for the Hurricanes. With a strong new addition in Tim Drew the team seems ready to put themselves in the position to once again compete in the league.

Bayern Phoenix

Ground:Old Club Stadium 77,000
Manager:
Colors:Red and Blue
Jerseys:
Fan Support:Very High
Expectations:Finish top half
Starters:Bender, Halifax, Boynton, Carpenter, Parker, Evans, Villanueva, Grose, Vanderweil, Talbot, Kepler
ReservesKarlton, Bruiser, Hardaway, Barnes, Yelnats
Sponsor:Glendale Pharmacy
Nickname(s):Phoenix
Offseason Moves: Bought Center Back Everett Evans from Moresville FC. Bought Center Back Kellen Carpenter from AC Quarant Xa’virt.
Championships:20, 25, 27, 28, 29
Other Accolades: Fadron Pizza Cup Winners 1, 20, Youth Cup 6 Winners
Last Season Finish:9th
Team Info A strong season from Bayern Phoenix and the team seems like a big part of what could be happening in the upcoming Premier League seasons. That said the team has no stars and is really an above average side with nothing to really put them over the edge and win them championships.

Bayern-Algaer

Ground:Bayern Stadium 24,000
Manager:Aaron Opare
Colors:Red and Black
Jerseys:
Fan Support:High
Expectations:Top 5
Starters:Smith, Smith, O’Malley**, Tina, Stevenson, Potter, McCoy, Valspar, Petersheim, Johnson, Jacks
ReservesAllison, Kopp, Jamison, Noble, Michael
Sponsor:Weaver, Smith and Wrangler
Nickname(s):Weavers
Offseason Moves:
Championships:17, 22, 23, 32, 51
Other Accolades: Fadron Pizza Cup Winners 17
Last Season Finish:7th
Team Info Another team incredibly close to moving into international play and the Weavers have a rather strong lineup. Including a young bench option in Kelly Jamison. The team seems ready to jump onto the top parts of the table, and a few nice wins here or their and they will be incredibly competitive in this league.

Blacklake Blues

Ground:Blacklake Blues Ballpark 79,000
Manager:Karl Ash
Colors:Blue and Green
Jerseys:
Fan Support:Medium
Expectations:Compete for a Title
Starters:Jingleheimer-Smitt, Fasnacht, Trueblood, Pryce, Minter, Cantove, Carnes, Hébert**, van Neymar*, Johnson, Cotteril
Reserves:Carleton, Angelou, Dietrich, Vogue, Mars
Sponsor:Blacklake Brewery
Nickname(s):Blues
Offseason Moves: Bought Center Back Evan Pryce from AC Quarant Xa’virt. Bought Left Midfielder Carlton Minter from Moresville FC.
Championships:
Other Accolades:
Last Season Finish:5th
Team Info Blacklake continues to be incredibly close to winning their first ever Premier League table. It seems at this point that they are more of an when they win the league team, than if they win it. With the strong young taeshani goalkeeper, and center back pairing the team seems likely to be a big part of the league moving forward, And soon to be champions.

Capetown Crocs

Image

Ground:Capetown Stadium 34,000
Manager:
Colors:Black and Green
Jerseys:
Fan Support:Medium
Expectations:Finish Mid Table
Starters:Dufailloy**, Grey, Baker, Antero, Smitt, Beans, Carlisle, Gordon, Mauer, Arrendale, Barnes
ReservesSummit, Wright, Irving, Jeffrey, Kline
Sponsor:TMI Lighting
Nickname(s):Crocs, The Ancients
Offseason Moves: Bought Center Forward Ben Barnes from AC Quarant Xa’virt.
Last Season Finish:15th
Team Info Capetown continues to be a team that is not quite good enough to consistently finish in the top half of the table, but not quite bad enough to do much worse than the lower middle of the pack. While none of the players on their roster are really the sexiest players in the league, they continue to be a strong assortment of players that can do little more than be average in the league.


Fadrön Flight

Ground:Fadrön University Field 89,000
Manager:
Colors:Green and Red
Jerseys:
Fan Support:Medium
Expectations:Compete for a title
Starters:Calvin, Cortez, Pryce, Stevenson, Bentley, Kiln, Montague*, Figeuroa, Glavine Connoly, Martin
Reserves:Ben, Cartwright, Jacobs, Prince, Jiminez
Sponsor:Fadron Pizza
Nickname(s):Flight, Flyers
Offseason Moves: Bought Center Forward Martin Martin from Moresville FC. Bought Center Midfielder Ken Glavine from AC Quarant Xa’virt. Bought Right Midfielder Adam Kiln from Celtic Rangers FC.
Championships:
Other Accolades: Fadron Pizza Cup Winners 19, Youth Cup 1 Winners
Last Season Finish:2nd
Team Info Fadron inches closer each season to actually winning the league but they cannot manage to finish it off. With a lot of the team leaving the city after another 2nd place finish it seems like a new order is up for Fadron. With a lot of young options on the ench, and some future stars in the wings hopefully for them they can finally break through to the top.

Hannah

Ground:The Field (23,000)
Manager:Carter Salazar
Colors:Red and White
Jerseys:
Fan Support:Low
Expectations:Avoid Relegation
Starters:Gardener, Williams, Carlson, Mueller, Marks, Kennedy, Janson, Martinez, Pantalimon, Brubaker, Farnsworth
Reserves Carter, Gochenauer, Smart, Robertson
Sponsor:
Nickname(s):Hoppers
Offseason Moves:
Other Accolades:
Last Season Finish:1st Erste Liga
Team Info Hannah returns to the top flight on the wings of one of the strongest youth squads in the nations. Twice champions, with the most recent team pushing all the way to the semi-finals of the international youth cup it looks like they may have a future. That said their young corps is really young. Many starters younger than 18 and honestly they don’t seem like a competitive team yet. But if they gain some experience, and stay together they could be a big player in the years to come.


Knightspurs

Ground:The Dome 92,300
Manager:Barry Conrad
Colors:Purple and Powder Blue
Jerseys:
Fan Support:High
Expectations:Avoid Relegation
Starters: Harnell, Green, Cloven, Elvis, Crane, Everett, Klingenberg*, Urt, Ace, Wanner, Smith
Reserves Swann, Black, Grant, Cartwright, Quan
Sponsor:Tae-Mart
Nickname(s):Spurs, Knights
Offseason Moves: Bought Goalkeeper George Harnell from Celtic Rangers FC. Bought Center Back Jessie Cloven and Right Wing Declan Smith from AC Quarant Xa’virt. Named Geoffry Klingenberg Captain. Bought Center Midfielder Arnold Urt from Moresville FC.
Other Accolades:
Last Season Finish:13th
Team Info Knightspurs have seen a consistent rise in the table each year since the arrival of Geoffrey Klingenberg who now takes the captaincy. While they continue to be closer and closer to the place the team once was it seems likely that their starlet will go somewhere else sometime soon. They do not have the funds to build around him, and even if they did it does not seem like they want to add much of anything.

Laketown Rangers

Image

Ground:Stadium on the Lake 90,000
Manager:Matteus Sigurdsson
Colors:Blue, Blue and More Blue
Jerseys:
Fan Support:Very High
Expectations:Championship
Starters:Alison, Lalinga**, Sale**, van Daale**, Ford, Jewsbury, George, Applesby, Hunt**, Snavely*, Tsukuyomi**
Reserves: Yago**, Coshan, Prewitt, Carter, Fish
Sponsor:Laketown Police Academy
Nickname(s):Rangers
Offseason Moves: Bought Center Midfielder Tyler Ford from AC Quarant Xa’virt. Loaned Daigo Coshan to Beaches FC.
Championships:31, 33, 34, 35, 53, 60
Other Accolades: Fadron Pizza Cup 6, 10, 14, 17, 27, 28, Benevolence Bowl 17, 23
Last Season Finish:1st
Team Info It was an impressive season for Laketown. With all the work put in all year by the striking force, and a strong midfield it seemed all but certain they would make it a championship. And that was not the only trophy they would win, with a second straight win in the Fadron Pizza cup. An impressive performance, but how long will it last. Miles Snavely can only do so much, and every team in the league will look to take down the champions.


Los Riosa Monstas

Ground:Gangsters Park 99,000
Manager:Desmond Salvateria
Colors:Blue and Yellow
Jerseys:
Fan Support:High
Expectations: Avoid Relegation
Starters:Breaker, Colton, Gordon, Smyth, Peters, Fitzgerald, Bones, Shelby, Kline, Montevideo**, Alabastor
ReservesJacobs, Jones, Stevenson, Clark, Grace
Sponsor:Mattress Excelsior
Nickname(s):Monstas, Gangstas
Offseason Moves: Bought Left Back Gavin Colton from Moresville FC.
Championships:16
Other Accolades:
Last Season Finish:17th
Team Info Los Riosa is not a team that really has much of an influence on the grand scheme of the Taeshan table, but yet they manage to avoid relegation for the most part of their history. And they once won the whole thing. Those days are long behind us, but here we are with them still in the Premier League, and kicking.

Mierton Manatees

Ground:Mierton Area Park
Manager:
Colors:Blue and White
Jerseys:

Expectations:Fight for Championship
Starters:Baker, Falj, Alex , Reinhold, NEW RB, Marstons, Mathieu, Canada, Cantebury, Alvarez, Tennyson
ReservesJackson, Karlson, Kibly, Flute, Larson
Sponsor:No Doubt Apparel
Nickname(s):Manatees
Offseason Moves: Promoted Youth Squad Defender Aime Karlson. Bought Right Back Vesper Desmond from AC Quarant Xa’virt.
Championships: 59
Other Accolades: Fadron Pizza Cup Winners 23 and 24
Last Season Finish:3rd
Team Info It was an impressive follow up season to their first Premier League title for Mierton. While third place doesn’t seem like the best finish, it was a close league throughout the season and many figured that the Manatees would not have as nice a title defense as they did. With Laketown Rangers heavily favored it was an impressive performance by the young Mierton side. With two current U21 players, a national teamer in Silian Centebury, and a young bench defender in Aime Karlson the future seems bright for one of the hottest teams in Taeshan.


New Capetown Falcons

Ground:New Capetown Memorial Park 100,111
Manager:Jason Vandersmitt
Colors:Pink, Red and Grey
Jerseys:
Fan Support:Medium
Expectations:Mid Pack
Starters:Avery, Sheen, Herlne, Prichards, Comet, Gemini, Kyle, Petersheim, Emanuel**, Greenshire, Coswalt
Reserves Platant, Cardinal, Goshen, Eevily, Adams
Sponsor:Falcon Brewery
Nickname(s):Falcons
Offseason Moves: Bought Center Back Jacob Herlne from AC Quarant Xa’virt.
Championships:39
Other Accolades: Fadron Pizza Cup Winners 15, 22, 23 , Benevolence Bowl Winners 3, 4, 14, 18
Last Season Finish:14th
Team Info New Capetown had a small surge up the table last season with an impressive performance for the side. While they have had a hot rivalry with Nordiques in the last few years the Falcons have done little more than be a road block for the past few seasons. There is not a lot of interesting players on the team. Their lone national teamer Ensign Petersheim has been rather weak recently and does not look likely to get a lot more caps for the Purple Knights. They seem closer to a relegation battle, than a title bought currently.

New Capetown Nordiques

Ground:New Capetown Arena (22,000)
Manager:Heinrich Muller
Colors:Green, White and Purple
Jerseys:
Fan Support:Low
Expectations:Avoid Relegation
Starters: Drew, Tennabaum, Simon, Bolivar, Cansius, Lichtsteinter, Bradley, Ace, Collins, Baker, Carson
ReservesValpack, Glover, Shanghai, Bradley, Clarke
Sponsor:
Nickname(s): Nordiques
Offseason Moves: Sold Midfielder Xavier Melchoir to Lwanga Lions (Banija). Promoted Youth Squad defender Everett Glover.
Last Season Finish:20th
Team Info New Capetown Nordiques lost the services of young midfielder Xavier Melchoir in the offseason. With the rest of the squad lacking much of a playmaking force it seems like this could be the season the side falls back to the second division. They do have a young bright spot in first year starter, Iris Tennabaum. While the young defender seems like a future national teamer the rest of the team does not have a lot of exciting prospects.


Real Atlantea

Starters:Montague, Myers, Entwhistle**, Cratos, Jurado**, Kaiba*, Daniels, Moon, Vanderbilt, Karl, Book
ReservesCarp, Benvolio, Kyle, Michael, Newberry

Offseason Moves: Promoted youth squad striker Jamison Newberry.
Championships:40, 41, 42, 43, 44, 45, 46, 47, 48, 49, 50, 52
Other Accolades: Copa de Campeones 29 Champions, 59th Champions’ Cup Semi-Finalists, Benevolence Bowl Winners 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 15
Last Season Finish:8th
Team Info Real Atlantea has not been a big part of the top part of the league in the last few seasons but last year was sort of a return to the top for the 12 time champions. While they don’t seem to be a big factor in the title hunt they could be a part of the international scene come next season. With two strong young midfielders in Orson Vanderbilt and Sahler Moon they could definitely be a part of the league’s top teams this season.

Real Chinchinhua

Ground:Real Stadium on the Lake 99,001
Manager:Grant Holsum
Colors:Red and Purple

Nickname(s):Chihuahuas
Offseason Moves:
Championships:18, 19
Other Accolades:
Last Season Finish:11th
Team Info An interesting team, Real Chinchinhua, has the creative force of the national team in Enrique Fuegahita, and a young striker in Horatio Galludet. The corps of the team around them is not much of an interesting squad. Not a lot to say about them besides they will somehow manage to finish top 5 in basically every other season even though the average Taeshani could only name two or three of their players.

Team Info Sleepy Hollow was really the best of the rest in a league that had three clubs competing for a championship. The side from Hannah managed to put an impressive team on the field even though many favored them for more of a mid-table performance. With some interesting offseason pickups in the midfield the team seems likely to continue their strong performances, but finishing at such a high level a second season in a row will be a big battle to say the least.

Last Season Finish:16th
Team Info A season for Taeshan City that continues to show they are not the club they were five years ago. With four championships in a row they seemed unstoppable, but since then they haven’t even been a competitor in the league, even for a little bit. As a team they don’t really have much to make you think they will be a competitor moving forward either.

Last Season Finish:21st
Team Info Tintown has not been competing for a few years in the league and it continues to show with a lot of seasons ending in them playing in relegation playoff games. While they have yet to not win a game like that, they keep getting closer and closer to the automatic relegation spots each season.

Championships: It was an impressive return for Williams Isle to the Premier League. While it was not the flashiest season they were well clear of the relegation battle and that is basically all their fans were hoping for throughout the season. This season is the season they will have to look to move up the table, and see what they have in the tank.

Offseason Moves: Bought Right Back Allen Matteo. Bought Left Midfielder Joshua Daigo from Moresville FC.
Championships:14
Other Accolades:
Last Season Finish:10th
Team Info It was an above average season for X Island as they finished in the top 10 once again. Much of that strong side has left the city after the season though so young Goalkeeper Esteban Foh, and talented fullback Alex Turniquette will have their work cut out for them as they push to once again reach heights they haven’t seen in a few years.

Offseason Moves: Bought Goalkeeper Kevin Maxwell from AC Quarant Xa’virt. Bought Right Back Stephen Oliver from Moresville FC.
Championships:2
Other Accolades: Youth Cup 3, 4, 7 Winners
Last Season Finish:22nd
Team Info Yaton FC finished closer to relegation than they have in a long time needing a relegation playoff to avoid the second division. The news for the side is not great as a lot of their offseason moves were not really exciting and the squad honestly has not gotten a lot better. It is a wonder with such a talented youth system how that has not pushed the senior squad to being as competitive.

Yaton United

Ground: Heaven’s Door 79,000
Manager: Emerson Jones
Colors:Jade and Tangerine
Jerseys:
Fan Support:Low
Expectations:Avoid Relegation
Starters: Jean, Baker, Cavanaugh, Martin, NEW LM, Alvarez, Heller, Carlson, Carnes, Elliot, Good
Reserves Madison, Barnes, Miller, Moriarty, Cortez
Sponsor: Bought Left Midfielder Jackson Helm from AC Quarant Xa’virt.
Nickname(s): Tangerines
Offseason Moves:
Last Season Finish:19th
Team Info Yaton United has had a few seasons above what many think of them as doing. A season last season that saw them early competing for the top spots, and fading late, and a season this year that finished well above the relegation spots. Their fans think they can use this success, but based on the offseason moves the leadership does not expect to do much more than just stay in the Premier League.

For the benefit of curious fans and (non-Sargossan) news sources, an alphabetical dictionary of (local) football cliches. Some of this may be familiar to some (very) longtime readers, but a recapitulation never hurts.

Arlington hat trick: When three different nominally "forward" players each score a goal. Can be applied outside the city, but usually as a pejorative implying they really aren't suited to be playing that many up front. Tends not to be used when more goals were scored. "City scored an eponymous hat trick on Matchday 14, at home against 102d Jr.s."

baseball: As in other countries, a useful comparative. "Twineur defeated Trink by the baseball-esque score of 6-3;" "Slogda manager Makvala Tsereteli makes so many substitutions you'd think this was extra innings."

Cosmos: increasingly pronounced with an [s] rather than a [z] on the end these days. "The Keppal Cosmos are not an incredibly diverse side by international standards, though they have three Bigtopians in their starting eleven."

Discord: An electronic system facilitating many types of instantaneous communication, or, usually to be used in adjectival form to describe Eintracht Trink's struggles. "Discord rules in Yeaun District after Eintracht contrived to blow a three-goal lead, losing 4-5 to Keppal Cosmos on Matchday 23 and sinking to twelfth place."

e: Uncommon in a paragon of urlistic journalism. "With a trio of rounds to go, Bassabook Old Boys' championship push is in doubt; Arlington City holds Bassabook to a draw down south, and this club now trails by a point and a half. But a position in a Champions' or slightly-not-as-grand Cup is still a probability...don't you think?"

Fulpog: The suburb in which Spenson Suburbia play, occasionally namedropped by the pedantic. Despite Sporting Esper technically having their home stadium in Alden rather than Hope City, making this correction instead is less common. "Sporting Esper fall to fourth on goal difference with just one match to play, bested 2-3 in Fulpog."

goal difference: Still the first tiebreaker, to the chagrin of some. "Trebuchet Cham got a huge boost to their goal difference on Matchday Four by beating Twineur 7-2, and erased that in a single implosion against Namiri Forest six rounds later."

home field: Tends not to be expressed as an advantage, but rather in terms of a corresponding disadvantage when teams travel. "Despite their exhaustion, Keppal Cosmos' extra-time winner was the only goal in their game 'at' Rovers United."

InterCity (Express): the train system that connects Zwangzug's large cities across districts. Often used to express the distance, if not the actual method of transportation, for road trips; "Arlington City crossed the long ICE 16 route, and edged out 102d 1-2."

jersey: The preferred term for a shirt used for the match. "Wearing new away stylings for their road opener in Keppal, the Canbix defender got herself sent off after an ugly foul, despite protesting that 'everything's legal in a new jersey'."

kit: Tends not to be used for shirts (see above). "Namiri Independent have plenty of tricks in their toolkit, running up the score on Matchday 13 against Trink."

loss column: Perhaps not as important as in other leagues because of the scoring incentives. "Keppal and Bassabook finish with the same total in the loss column, but the former are off to the Champions' Cup while the latter will have an unimpeded schedule next season."

mountain range: an appropriate metaphor for the performance of Excelsior Slogda from season to season, except not really when they win consecutive titles. "Slogda jumped from thirteenth to fifth, a climb steep enough for the Alai Mountains."

Namiri derby: Tends not to be used by writers within the district, as Sharag and Guariday are separate cities. Despite that has traction elsewhere. "Namiri Independent avenged their first-half defeat in the derby, beating Forest 1-0 at home."

outrage: Tends to be overused. "'THIS IS AN OUTRAGE!' demands the Namiri Forest manager, who is guarding the door to your office for some reason. 'Our tactics should surely have been rewarded with another championship, or at least an international berth. Allocating more government funds to defense would increase our...'" [Editor's note: interesting format, consider this for future seasons.]

percent: Should only be used for meaningless statistical minutiae; "94% of Bassabook's throw-ins were aimed accurately in Cham, and the same proportion of their visiting fans were on key." Metaphorical usage is frownd upon except in the sense of "Forest's Harshit Mistry put 110% of his energy into tackles in a painful draw against the Oxen, and will therefore miss the next two games."

Quidditch: A comparative for sizes of a few towns where Rovers United play. "I say, Easley is a bit more of a Quidditch municipality, innit?" Surely only refers to the college intramural sport...right?

rainouts: somehow never manage to interfere with the coincidental scheduling. "Arlington's dour scoreless draw with Twineur had to be made up after Matchday 13, but neither of them were in contention so it was fine."

superstitions: What you will probably be called if you mention the "curse" of Ayathen Arena. "All right, yes, there was no breakfast food, the pitch was covered with snow till about an hour before game start, you can't get to your seat without stepping on about a dozen cracks, but they beat the Oxen, didn't they?"

Takil: Preferred in the adjectival form as "takilan conspiracy," etc. Attempts to seriously import Rejistanian jargon will these days get you earnest engagement about the potential of auxiliary languages, the way the islanders go on sometimes. Su?

United: often requires scare quotes. "FTC 'United' finished last yet again."

Vilitan Cove Invitational: tournament that has been weighing on Trink fans in pride and disappointment alike. "One hopes that Trink's slump to ninth was due to being busy, and not just so they can avoid being too good for another VCI run."

west side: Shorthand for Eglantine Park, where FTC United play half of their games. "FTC United slumped to a 3-5 defeat to Twineur on the west side, but at least the classy fans there didn't try to graffiti the stadium afterwards."

X: Midfield formation popular with both Ephesian FC and the intermittent national team. "Ephesian's X kicked into high gear on Matchday 13, drawing with Cham, and never looked back."

youth: Someone not in university and not drawing the attentions of the time-dilating crews. "I say, midfielder Rabiya Kumari of Namiri Independent Youth is coming along well, don't you think?"

Zwischen fans: Rabid, collectivist (?), faithful, exuberant, anachronistic, rule-skirting, aggressive, champions.

Now that we've worked out...some of the kinks, and have endeavored to use a spreadsheet from the beginning, let's return to the Cereal Cup!

First Round

Namiri Forest 0–0 Rovers United
Sporting Esper 3–2 Arlington City
Spenson Suburbia 1–1 Trebuchet Cham
Ephesian FC 1–0 102d Jr.s
Bassabook Old Boys 3–0 Excelsior Slogda
Keppal Cosmos 2–1 Canbix Muses
Namiri Independent 4–2 Twineur Bugs
Eintracht Trink 4–0 FTC United

Forest gonna forest. The eventual champions looked almost tepid against 102d, with only Spencer Gleason's goal shortly after the restart providing a source of offense. The defending champions of this particular event were perhaps fortunate to be drawn against the (fill-in-your-favorite-demeaning-adjective) Oxen, and stormed to an early lead courtesy of two goals from Gail Suzuki. The Bugs, who have found themselves in several high-scoring games this season, came out the worst against Namiri Independent, despite an attractive header from Kendra Gilmour.

Second Round

Eintracht Trink 3–2 Bassabook Old Boys
Namiri Independent 0–1 Sporting Esper
Ephesian FC 3–3 Keppal Cosmos
Namiri Forest 0–0 Spenson Suburbia
Rovers United 2–1 Trebuchet Cham
Arlington City 1–0 102d Jr.s
Canbix Muses 2–1 Twineur Bugs
Excelsior Slogda 1–1 FTC United

The showdown between Ephesian and Keppal thrilled fans who saw in it a preview (? this is probably running throughout the season) of the title race. It's Ephesian who will be disappointed with their showing, jumping out to a 3-1 lead via some splendid Emma McHewitt offense, but Keppal pulled back via
Finn Hyde-Keel and Martin Scallop. Trink looked pleasantly harmonious (thank you, cliche masterlist) in holding off an energetic Bassabook; the midfield play was messy, but Yoshitoki Fremd managed to chip in with a couple assists for the hosts. Sporting Esper pulled the first upset, with Leslie Corrigan's goal overcoming Namiri Independent. As for their [s]derby[/s] district rivals, well, they seemed to "enjoy" another MUFN rematch.

Third Round:

Sporting Esper 3–1 Eintracht Trink
Rovers United 1–1 Ephesian FC
Keppal Cosmos 1–0 Bassabook Old Boys
Namiri Independent 2–2 Namiri Forest
Spenson Suburbia 0–0 Arlington City
Trebuchet Cham 0–1 Canbix Muses
102d Jr.s 1–0 Excelsior Slogda
FTC United 0–2 Twineur Bugs

Esper convincingly defeated Trink to try and assert their superiority in this competition, with two goals for Lucille Dresk-Holzen and one for Donovan Sands-Belmar. The Rovers and Ephesian will be frustrated at not gaining on them, with Macrina Sinore's late equalizer cancelling out a long, mazy run from Rachel Stelline. Canbix overcame Cham with some excellent defense from Clare Juness; their only goal came from Shao-Yi Watters.

Another MUFN rematch, another similar result.

Fourth Round:

Sporting Esper 0–0 Keppal Cosmos
Eintracht Trink 3–1 Ephesian FC
Canbix Muses 0–0 Rovers United
Spenson Suburbia 0–2 Namiri Independent
Arlington City 0–0 Namiri Forest
Bassabook Old Boys 0–0 102d Jr.s
Twineur Bugs 0–3 Excelsior Slogda
Trebuchet Cham 4–3 FTC United

Lots of scoreless games...but sometimes that's all you need. Arlington and Forest reprised another quiet MUFN "rivalry." (At this point you might be wondering why we don't just, you know, eliminate teams that are out of it...but then again, there's potential qualification on the line if the winner is in the top five, so stay tuned.) We got a bonus showdown of Bassabook vs. 102d, which is always "fun" in some sense; 102d were going to be satisfied with a half-point, and duly parked the requisite transit implement while locals opined about how they were wandering through a barren land (devoid, presumably, of offense).

And then there was Esper versus Keppal; the Bigtopians-and-company needed a win to make a difference, but the Robins, knowing a draw would be enough, were in no hurry to risk attack. Visiting goalkeeper Joel McJakill was nevertheless tested a few times on speculative breaks, and ably proved up to the challenge, but the offense wasn't there.

So, Esper win the Cereal Cup with 3.5 points...except they're already going to the Globe Cup, which lent new urgency to Ephesian's visit to Trink. The visitors had more important things to worry about, and always-busy Soobin Watney-Oh wasn't really in the game, letting Misako Tsuki work her magic and deliver the winner, plus a cute assist on the third goal to boot. Second in this tally will be plenty for Trink, who hope to do one better than last time at the VCI.

VCIAPP: Eintracht Trink (ZWZ)
Selection Via: still the cup, but just a note it's the best-performing non-qualified team (this time not the tournament champion)

Season 2233: Preview

Liga Starblaydia
Featured Team: Telecontarë

Defending Stablaydi Champions and knocked out in the last sixteen of the 70th TQCC by the giants of Kingsgrove (Brenecia) and last sixteen of the AOCL by the titans of Raynor City United (Valanora) in a pair of international cup runs that defied expectations. Tele finished nine points ahead of their nearest rivals, the Daii, in the 2231 season and we simply can't look past them as the team to watch for yet another title.

Also look out for: Tabeck Cefn Druids in their first season in the top flight, the chasing pack of the Daii, Foxes and Spirits vying for the title with Tele.

Liga Starblaydia 2
Featured Team: Tabeck FC

With the Tabeck Cefn Druids shooting up into the heights of the premier division, Tabeck FC have a new goal of matching their cross-town rivals by joining them and setting the world to rights by restoring the order of the Tabeck team hierarchy and getting back above the Druids. All it will take is a little more steel in the defence to pick up a handful of points and they'll be in the promotion picture.

Also look out for: Paricone Athletic surging up the table, Tuncastle and the Blues looking to bounce straight back with promotion runs.

Liga Starblaydia 3
Featured Team: FC Farça

How the mighty have fallen, dropping in to the third tier of Starblaydi league football having lost the most games of anyone in Liga 2, for the team with the largest stadium in the land. Down in the basement with the likes of Port Cythera and Nemya Hotspurs, they'll have to scratch and claw their way back up, or languish outside of the popular, profitable games for the foreseeable future.

Also look out for: How many goals Cedrus Islanders shop this season (51 in 30 last time around), and will Tournetas be the worst team in Starblaydia for the third successive time?

So halfway through the season Aruk United have climbed their way to the top, helped by striker Jess Dumero’s tally of 10 goals from 9 matches.

Tobiasia City’s new foreign midfield hoped to brighten their chances of winning this year but instead they have remained in the midtable, partly due to Fraser Philips’ injury. Philips returned on week 6, and has since scored

The Portside Tigers are currently 2nd, having had a strong run led by Rosa Uzele and Max Harrison’s attacking duo. New Abajan CB Jonathan Beddain has also revived the teams defence.

Tob-An have had mediocre success due to their new Abajan striker Sulley Cromartie.

Over at the North Forest Daggers, fears are mounting over relegation as the team has managed just one win. Manager Tabitha Jones has been given two months to turn the side around or face the sack. Trekanburg has also had a disappointing season with just 2 wins, but the team is hopeful to make a comeback soon.

After an exciting season of football, Tobiasia City reign supreme as Champions, with just a single loss staining their otherwise clean sheet. They qualify for the Champions Cup, and runners up Portside Tigers, Aruk United and East River Roses qualify for the Globe Cup.

The manager of NFD has been sacked, as the Daggers are relegated from the Premier League for the first time in 40 years. Trekanburg has also gone down after being promoted just last year.

Driburg and Arkford FC have been promoted to the Premier League, and we look forward to seeing the old Arkford vs Roses rivalry revitalised.
