Overview
Audioslavia were forced to miss World Cup 79 but returned to international football for World Cup 80, missing out on the finals in the playoffs before reaching the final of the Cup of Harmony.

Historically, the national side has a history of doing well in tournaments but losing in the final game. The ‘Audioslavian Curse’ was temporarily lifted for cycles 59 to 65, during which time the Bulls won two World Cups, three AOCAF Cups and a Baptism of Fire tournament. Since then, old habits have returned. Audioslavia continued to be a superpower of world football, albeit losing in the final of World Cups 67, 70 and 76, before ‘declining to enter’ World Cup 79.

Stadium
Audioslavia’s home stadium is the 66 Stadium, referred to as the Arena Kirola for advertising purposes. One could call the Kirola Arena 'modern', but as the word tends to imply abstract minimalism and modest use of space, the word isn't quite the right one to use. The arena features a large shopping complex, complete with cinema, an array of chain cafes and restaurants, three gyms, a swimming pool and even a sauna. The conference rooms are numerous, large and lavish, and the media centre for visiting journalists and television crews is arguably one of the biggest and hi-tech in the world.

As for the football part of the stadium, one could be forgiven for thinking it was an afterthought, squeezed in at the last minute between the vast media complex and larger of two fast food restaurants. In truth, the narrow, long pitch is perfectly suited to the cautious, defensive, kontrapuntzeka brand of football played by the Audioslavian national team and adopted by club tenants 1830 Cathair. The narrow playing area, towering stands (the FFA's insistence on large, comfortable seating for each punter necessitated the stadium's vertigo-inducing height, with three tiers encircling the pitch) and large roof lets little light in during the day, but keeps the sound of the crowd echoing around the arena allowing for a deafening atmosphere. The the state-of-the-art floodlight system, bright white goal goal nets and high, white walls between the grass and the stands - onto which murals are painted before big international games - gives the stadium a distinctive look, perfectly suited to live television.

Players
Manager Wilfred Lidgley, an Apoxian who spent his entire latter career at 1830 Cathair before taking over the job of national team manager, has been careful to keep his Audioslavia team playing in an Audioslavian way. His side will play a typically balanced formation with the emphasis on a strong back four protected by a defensive midfielder, and a four-man engine room of a midfield supplying lone striker Desya Kuznetsov

Style
Kontrapuntzeka, a dialectal word for counter-attack, has long been Audioslavia’s weapon of choice. The footballing ethos of the isle has long been that, in order to a score a goal, you must first bring your opponent out of its shell. Even against ‘weaker’ teams, Audioslavia tend to line up cautiously, even if they do expect to have the lion’s share of possession.

Audioslavians tend to be very fit, and have a habit of stealing games at the death when their opponents tire. On the negative side, such emphasis on physical fitness and tactical nous does mean there’s less time for technique drills. Audioslavian footballers are typically a couple of notches below their international counterparts in terms of ball control and pure technique. Audioslavia do employ a physical style when necessary, but as Audioslavians tend to be built on the lithe side they can be bullied out of fiercer midfield battles.

Hyundai Sports Complex

The Hyundai Sports Complex is one of the largest Sports Complexes in the world, Hosting a Soccer stadium, football stadium, basketball stadium, hockey stadium, baseball stadium, an aquatics center with 3 Olympic sized pools, and a concert hall. The complex has a maximum occupancy of 120,000 people.
The Hyundai Sports Complex was originally built as Seoul Field in 1954 as a recreational soccer field for downtown Seoul. It mainly hosted local games and tournaments, but South Korea’s national soccer team made it their home field. After the Second Korean War, it was renamed to Hyundai Soccer Center in 1964. To try to boost attendance to the field, international games were held there, and a baseball stadium was built in 1975. Other stadiums were built after that, and the most recent was the aquatics center in 2008.

Staffing

Manager: Gavin Comi; 62
Comi swept in after Curtis Steeling departed the managerial role, making drastic changes to the team structure including the transformation of the team from an extremely defensive side to an extremely offensive side, to the annoyance of many Ethani fans. However, it turns out to have worked for him quite well as he's stuck to his brand of football - a style he uses the term 'Explosive football' to describe. He has led Ethane to a number of world cup qualifications, including their best result yet - the quarter-finals - in the last world cup. Comi intends to do just that again and try to beat the achievements of the last world cup. However, with the Ethanese regulations around the number of players in a world cup qualification squad relaxed, he has the freedom to choose a larger squad and play around a little. Somewhat inspired by the new assistant manager under him, expect to see Comi's side offering up a much more moderated - and more defensive - style than previous world cups; out with the gung-ho and in with the pragmatic approaches.

Assistant Manager: Daniel Beller; 40
A younger addition to the managerial department, Beller brings a much more pragmatic and reasoned approach to the team. Unlike Comi, Beller places a lot more focus on the defensive side of the game, while still appreciating the offensive side of the game; Beller's sides generally are much more neutral in their philosophy, especially when compared to Comi. Bailey's departure was viewed as inevitable by many pundits, with Comi and him not really clicking together, Bailey being sidelined in most decisions. Beller's appointment, however, was hand-picked by Comi and was met with widespread approval. Hopefully, Beller will be able to make up for Comi's more bullish nature and keep the team in check.

Offensive Coach: Edward Jules; 46
Edward is a new appointment, replacing Carlsting who had been a part of the management team since the start of Curtis Steeling's tenure. Carlsting decided it was time to try something new, and Jules brings expertise from the league system in Ethane to the role, which will help him succeed.

Defensive Coach: Adam Hurnley; 55
Hurnley has been around since the start of Steeling's tenure, and doesn't appear ready to leave yet. Despite some slightly lacklustre defensive performances recently, Hurnley hopes to bolster the defensive capabilities of the Ethanese squad alongside the new appointment of Beller.

Goalkeeper Coach: Jacob Reeses; 45
Reeses joined alongside Comi and has committed himself to at least this World Cup and the next Campionato Esportiva.

[-Anthor-]

Anthoran National Football Team
Anthoran "Warriors"
Statistical Information: 18-4-33
Manager: Adrien Darby

This is the final contract year for Adrien Darby, a man who has led the Warriors since their original debut almost ten World Cups ago, and despite that length of time, all the amazing talent he's had to chose from and an incredible amount of support from the domestic football establishment within Anthor, he has never managed to guide them a World Cup qualifier. It was already announced by Darby that he would not be renewing his contract, instead taking up a senior position with his youth football initiative he started four years ago; however many wonder if the Ministry of Sport finally ran out of leash for him and warned him that his time had come. While a suitable replacement for him will be all the talk for quite some time, one can only hope it won't serve as a distract as the Warriors once more try to grasp their elusive goal of advancing into the World Cup proper.

Tactics
The more complete the circle next to the player's name is, the more adept at his role he is, compared to the position's other possible roles

Ichi Tuzzio is much more of a strategist than a purist, and it shows in his approach to tactics. This is perhaps the (believe it or not) least attacking tactical set-up in the history of the Farf national team.

In goal, Íüé Tgô will be your traditional sweeper keeper. He will try not to be too messy with how he deals with the ball, though. Don't expect him to try to dribble past two or three defenders. The defense will consist of Kósa Bajnok, Ezequiel Marchiondo and Baldomero Teijeiro. Bajnok will be tasked with starting counterattacks with precise long balls and also defending the massive hole in defense that this formation leaves. He's not that good with the ball on his feet, truth be told, but he is fantastic at reading the game and has great physical presence, which alleviates the pressure on the Farf defense considerably. Marchiondo and Teijeiro will help him out defensively, but Marchiondo will still prefer to play wide. The two of them will be extremely tired by the end of any match, since they'll be running up and down the pitch the entire time, as well as trying to keep as narrow a defensive shape as possible. Teijeiro will look for the underlap since he's right-footed. Marchiondo will look to overlap for the same reason. Fermández and Teijeiro are fighting fiercely for the starting spot at the World Cup proper, so expect both to feature almost equally, with Teijeiro having the slight edge. Both players will carry out the role already described.

The midfield will be the traditional Farf midfield of one holding midfielder, two offensive ones and two wingers, but with a twist! One of the offensive midfielders has become a traditional centre midfielder, and the holding midfielder has been given some attacking duties. But what is this? Another twist! Faragó rue Cazade has been told to play further back in a new, hard-to-describe tactical role. The wingers have both been assigned more defensive roles, though they're still attacking ones. In essence: Sürgân t'Öéséné will be playing the fancily-named role of segundo volante. He'll be responsible for recovering the ball as any other holding midfielder, but he'll also look to arrive late at the box and go for perilous long shots or some smart assist. Zsolgar Zsase will be your classical centre midfielder, though, as a natural offensive midfielder, he's still adapting. On the left wing, Wçêíl will be running up and down the pitch, while coordinating his attacks with Teijeiro. He'll try to run down the flank consistently and go for crosses, though he's got a pretty dangerous right foot so you can expect him to suddenly cut in, too. On the right wing, de Sájajo will be expected to exploit his pace and dribbling skills, maybe get the odd precise cross in. Faragó rue Cazade will be tasked with dirty work in midfield (though not nearly as much as t'Öéséné and Sasca), while also being tasked with joining the offense as often as possible from further back, in much the same role he used to play. He's basically been given double the duties. Expect him to tire out and get carded often. Tuzzio has baptized this role "takilante".

Xíxì Êns, Farfadillis' best player, will play as a false nine. He's rather minuscule, but it's hard to get him off the ball. In this role, he creates space for his teammates by dropping deeper and confusing the defense. He's fantastic at creating chances, so watch out for that. Also very good at finishing them, so overall a very troubling player to face, specially in this set-up. Finally, his partner up front will be Oskar Holsteiner, a forward that has everything needed to score goals. His job will be to finish the job whenever the ball gets to him.

The team will look to play a vertiginous game, with few passes wasted on recycling possession. Farves live to have the ball at their feet, but also to do something exciting with it. Expect them to press, counterpress and generally look desperate to recover the ball. The further up the pitch you manage to go with the ball, the more in danger they are. However, if you do lose the ball while attacking them, they'll almost always try to start a counterattack. They're very adept at it with their direct passes and astonishing pace, so try to make your chances count. Finally, the three-man defense will obviously use the off-side trap, as it's a natural choice with such a high defensive line and three players.

When holding a lead, the team will be much more eager to recycle possession and wait patiently for a goal. In that case, passes will still be direct, but less so. When chasing a game, though, expect some of the most urgent football the Multiverse has to offer.

As a final note, the players are quite versatile and can and will switch roles for periods of time at some point. Players likely to switch with each other are Êns with rue Cazade, Wçêíl with de Sájajo, and Wçêíl with rue Cazade. However, it's worth noting that whenever a switch includes rue Cazade, the other player will play a much less demanding role; that of a shadow striker. They'll be attacking midfielders that try to surprise the opponent by going forward aggressively as if they were strikers. Expect this to happen more often when chasing a lead.

The bench consists of players of similar characteristics to the starting eleven, with the exception of Wìjìnì, who can play basically anywhere up front (including the wingers) and Lancelot Mojica, who can play anywhere centrally.
