Stadiums

King Edward IV Stadium

The stadium is situated in New Sarum, the capital of Ethane. New Sarum is the metropolitan hub of Ethane. Home to around 2.8 million people, it is nestled on the south-west coast of Ethane.

The stadium can hold 29,500 people in the setup as shown above.

The Marianne Detreux Stadium

The stadium is located in Southern Hampton, which is on the southern end of the Isle of Lowe. This is off the coast of Ethane and is accessible by boat and plane, with special ferries and flights put in place for when matches are on. The airport is small however on the island, so much of the travel to the Isle of Lowe is by boat. The Isle of Lowe is a beautiful place with heavy focus on natural beauty. The northern side of the island is very mountainous and is great for hikes.

The stadium can hold 20,000 people.

Newton-Smith Arena

This stadium is located in Letson, located in the south of Ethane. The city is heavily reliant on the tourism industry, with a decent beach and strong historical connections and landmarks as part of a tour of Ethane. The city is very rich in its cultural history and art which can be seen as you walk around the city. Letson is home to around 650,000 people, but feels a lot more homely than the other large cities.

The stadium can hold up to 25,000 people.

'The Pit'

The stadium is located in Deloitte. The most unique of Ethanian stadiums, 'The Pit' is built into an old quarry. The tiers of seating and the pitch is effectively carved out of the rock, creating for a unique experience. It creates a really nice atmosphere and sound, and from the top of 'The Pit' is some beautiful views over the rolling hills around the Deloitte area leading up to the mountain belt in the centre of Ethane. No image quite captures what 'The Pit' looks like, but this image is close enough to represent roughly what is envisaged with 'The Pit', except that this stadium is carved more into the natural environment rather than building a stadium in a hole.

This stadium can hold up to 26,500 attendees.

THE HOLY EMPIRE WC 88 SQUAD

While the nation took a long break from WCs 8 through 24, the Holy Empire is proud to be the only active nation to have participated in WC 1.

Though it pretends not to be, the nation is equally proud to have won 4 World Cup titles

This World Cup the Holy Empire's squad is...

Cuddly Cthulhu and his Playful Pals

Well, maybe 'cuddly' is the wrong word. They're still eldritch horrors who'll drive the unwary mad; but they're so terribly, terribly misunderstood.

They're actually amazingly polite, enjoy a friendly chat about the weather over a nice cup of tea, dedicated to footballing fair play (to the extent that they'll insist the referee calls a foul or even penalty against them if an opposition player collapses in a gibbering heap from their inability to cope with the non-Euclidean geometry of their dread forms), enjoy a friendly chat about the weather over a nice cup of tea, and completely disavow all of the horrible activities of their gibbering cultists. They're also really sensitive and easily hurt; they might well break out into tears if someone says something mean about them - especially if someone calls them ugly.

I mean yes, at some point in the distant future their time will come, and your ant-like existence will fade into insignificance in face of the cosmic horrors to come.

But not right now; and until that time comes, can't we just be friends?

(OOC1 - think of them as the opposite of the fluffly bunnies; instead of being incredibly cute but super-violent, they instead look rather horrible but are actually really, really lovely)

(OOC2 - being polite, the squad have agreed to manifest as human-sized entities)

(OOC3 - and I promise they won't turn out to be secretly evil, and trying to destroy reality; they really do just want to be your friend)

The Squad

Goal:
Yog-Sothoth - 'Yog-Sothoth knows the gate. Yog-Sothoth is the gate. Yog-Sothoth is the key and guardian of the gate. Past, present, future, all are one in Yog-Sothoth'

Defence:
Shub-Niggurath, the Goat With a Thousand Young - 'An enormous mass which extrudes black tentacles, slime-dripping mouths, and short, writhing goat legs'
Tsathoggua - 'amorphous, toad-like god-creature mentioned in the Pnakotic Manuscripts and the Necronomicon and the Commoriom myth-cycle '
Azathoth - 'that amorphous blight of nethermost confusion which blasphemes and bubbles at the center of all infinity—the boundless daemon sultan Azathoth, whose name no lips dare speak aloud'

Midfield:
Ghatanothoa - 'I might call it gigantic—tentacled—proboscidian—octopus-eyed—semi-amorphous—plastic—partly squamous and partly rugose—ugh!'
Rhan-Tegoth - 'shaped somewhat like an enormous insect, with a tremendous, barrel-shaped trunk with six appendages ending in claws-like pincers and a near-spherical head'
Cthulhu [Captain] - 'a monster of vaguely anthropoid outline, but with an octopus-like head whose face was a mass of feelers, a scaly, rubbery-looking body, prodigious claws on hind and fore feet, and long, narrow wings behind'
Dagon - 'A grotesque humanoid ... Dagon resembles an enormously oversized Deep One with a fish like face, flapping gills and a scaled, slimy hide'
Gobogeg, the Twice-Invoked - 'a colossal pillar of amorphous alien flesh, with a cyclopean head or eye'

Forwards:
Hastur the Unspeakable - 'The Feaster from Afar, a black, shriveled, flying monstrosity with tentacles'
Nyarlathotep - 'a tall, lean man of dead black colouration ... wholly devoid of either hair or beard, and wearing as his only garment a shapeless robe'

Substitutes:
A Shoggoth [g] - 'Formless protoplasm able to mock and reflect all forms and organs and processes - viscous agglutinations of bubbling cells'
A Deep One [d] - 'humanoid beings with fish, human and amphibian-like traits, they are described as having grey-ish green, glossy and slippery skin'
A member of the Great Race of Yith [m] - 'immense rugose cones ten feet high, and with head and other organs attached to foot-thick, distensible limbs spreading from the apexes'
An Elder Thing [m] - 'Like a barrel with five bulging ridges in place of staves. Lateral breakages, as of thinnish stalks, are at equator in middle of these ridges. In furrows between ridges are curious growths – combs or wings that fold up and spread out like fans'
A Mi-Go[f] - ' pinkish, fungoid, crustacean-like entities with a "convoluted ellipsoid" composed of pyramided, fleshy rings and covered in antennae where a head would normally be'

Coaches:

The team coach remains World Cup Hall of Fame legend Juan Tzimisces.

The assistant coach remains Starblaydi World Cup Hall of Fame legend Simeone Di Bradini.

Style Modifiers / formation

Frosty football is attacking football. The Holy Empire always plays a 3-5-2 formation using overlapping wingers that turns into 3-3-4 on the counterattack.

[OOC'ly, for the purposes of scorination, the team uses the maximum attacking style modifier permitted by each cup's hosts.]

Kit
The team will wear famous Imperial Gold and Red, as worn by the Holy Empire since WC1...

(home top, away bottom)

OOC'ly, the kits were designed by Red Blackiland, and the crest by Audioslavia - and I'm entirely grateful; I'm very happy for RB and Audio to take OOC credit. IC'ly, HEFA deny the Mundies had anything to do with it.

Stadium
The Holy Empire plays its home matches in the bejewelled, platinum-domed, and purple stone-walled Imperial Hippodrome, the oldest World Cup venue still in use, and one of the most famous - and impressive - stadiums in the multiverse.

RP instructions:
Have fun and use your imagination - but don't kill anyone, and don't try and launch attacks on the Dreamed Realm; largely because you can't.

Some basic Dreamed Realm RP rules:
Remember that the Dreamed Realm lies entirely outside of Ordinary Reality, and is utterly impervious to harm from what we charmingly call 'mundies'.

Some points to remember about travel to, and playing in, the Dreamed Realm:

1) We control the nature of reality in the Dreamed Realm; reality and time are malleable within the Realm. This isn't used to cheat - all normal rules of football are strenuously followed - but it does have two major side effects:
A) Any injuries to either team in Imperial home matches are immediately healed.
B) No violent or riotous behaviour by visiting fans will be tolerated, unless permission is received in advance (please file applications for violent rioting in triplicate). Any such behaviour undertaken without appropriate permission will find those responsible immediately transported back to Ordinary Reality.

2) Direct travel from ordinary physical reality to the Dreamed Realm is impossible. Some 72 hours before your away qualifier in the Empire, a team of Archregimancy [Eastern Orthodox Christian] monks will arrive in your home stadium and construct a portal to the Dreamed Realm. You may then use this to travel to the Empire at your convenience.

Boronis Baranasikis - LB
Yanis Giakos - CM
Iani Hagiriakis - CAM
Septis Davidikis - CM

Grigorios Stiouart - ST

Alanis “Shagger” Gregorikis is Rangers’ number one keeper who is also a veteran of the game. At the age of 39, Shagger might not have many years left in his playing career, but he’s still in tip top shape to be playing between the sticks for the Gers!

Giannis “Tav” Taverianakis is Rangers’ main right back and the captain of the squad. Like his fellow fullback Boronis Baranasikis, Tav is also fantastic at free kicks, and has recently began going forward during attacks more often and assisting the players upfront.

Konor Aurisorikis is one of Rangers’ main centre backs and the vice-captain of the squad. While not being the best at tackles, Konor is fantastic at headers and interceptions, though he is prone to own goals.

Flora Helanderikis is the other one of Rangers’ main centrebacks. Fantastic at tackling and putting his body on the line, Flora is always a dependable defender.

Boronis Baranasikis is Rangers’ main left back and a free-kick specialist. Boronis isn’t your typical defender, as he loves to join in on attacks and swing crosses into the box with aplomb. Arguably the best player on the pitch at most times.

Yanis Giakos is one of Rangers’ main central midfielders. He is one of the most beloved players in the squad, giving 100% in every game he plays. Tackling and passing are part of his skills.

Iani Hagiriakis is Rangers’ main centre attacking midfielder and one of the stars of the squad. Iani made his impact in the squad by scoring a free kick that deflected against the wall, winning the game for Rangers. Since then, he has shown that he is fantastic at dribbling, passing, and shooting in general.

Septis Davidikis is the other of Rangers’ main central midfielders. At his age, he won’t last too long in the squad, but he still has games to play and goals to score!

Yanis Kentis is Rangers’ main left forward and the fastest player in the squad. Only god is quicker than this guy, as Yanis uses his pace and skill to dribble through defences and put cross after cross into the box.

Freud Morelikis is Rangers’ main striker and one of the highest scorers in the squad. His ego and aggression may be high, but so is his ability. Red cards and goals galore will mainly be attributed to our boy Morelikis.

Last but not least, we have this guy. Kiamar Roofikis is Rangers’ main right forward and one of the new additions to the squad since WC86. He has a knack for scoring goals from long range, and also kung-fu-kicking opposition players in the face.

Home Ground:

Rank: 101st
Formation: 4-3-3
Style: +2
Manager: Stevenakios Gerardikis
Tidbits of Info:
Fanbase:
Rangers FC are known for having a passionate and loud fanbase, usually draped in red, white and blue. They will belt out chants and sing songs everywhere they go, be it their home, the streets, or the stadium. Expect a large turnout of fans when Rangers FC play in other countries, and expect rowdiness and overconfidence.

Location: Rangers FC is a football club, but to participate in the World Cup as a ‘country’, the city of Glaskopolis is ceremoniously ceded to Rangers FC before the start of each tournament they participate in.

Players: The moustaches are natural, and the glasses cannot be taken off. Don’t even try taking them off. These players are totally residents of Glaskopolis and henceforth Rangers FC. Do not auestion their origin, for you do not have to. They are, in fact, Rangers born and bred.

Manager -

Louis Vaudrail (Sicoutimont) - Age 69

Louis Vaudrail has had a storied managerial career, and in his last job before retirement has taken charge of the Astograthian national team since the start of World Cup 85. Once manager of Nordique Val-Maurice in his homeland of Sicoutimont, Vaudrail's first experience in Astograth was many years ago with Gesterlake FC, where a talented squad that included Sicoutian NT forward Georges Allonts took the club to heights never seen before or since, including qualification to the UICA Globe Cup. In the relaunched Astograthian First Division, his success at Athletic Club Olarria landed him the job at the powerful Royal Rumiatzi where, in 4 seasons at the club, he won a Royal Cup and a long-awaited league title.

Vaudrail is Astograth's third foreign manager history, after the successful tenure of World Cup Hall of Famer Powell Pieran, from Civil Citizenry, and the less successful spell of Sir James Handel, from Yesopalitha. The team's performance in World Cup 85 qualifying, coming out of Pot 11 to finish 4th and nearly qualified, followed by a semi-final run at Cup of Harmony 77, branded Vaudrail's tenure an early success, with pundits and players attributing their game to the manager's meticulous, months-in-advance preparation for fixtures. What followed was a poor showing at Copa Rushmori 35, held in Astograth itself, and a lacklustre WC86 qualifying campaign that saw the team finish fourth despite being the third seed. A run to the final of Cup of Harmony 78 rekindled hope in the national team, though Vaudrail’s relationship with assistant manager Ibai Kiriano fell apart in the strain and the team again dropped out of the Copa Rushmori in the group stage. In Vaudrail’s third cycle the team finally qualified for the World Cup finals, though narrowly failed to get out of the groups.

The squad has been shaken up significantly since World Cup 87. Following the international retirement of stalwarts such as Indartsu Lekea and Azeari Duarte, Vaudrail has adapted his formation and called up young blood. Their first run-out at the Copa Rushmori was brief, failing to advance from the Round of 16, but the long burn of qualifiers will be sure to give everyone a chance to impress. The squad is heavily foreign-based, with 6 players from Audioslavia, 3 from Farfadillis, 2 from Eura, and one each from another 7 nations.

Vaudrail has changed from his trusty 4-2-3-1 to a 4-2-2-2 formation, with two defensive midfielders, two wingers and two strikers. This has been done partly to take advantage of Astograth’s abundance of forwards and partly to remove the reliance on a central attacking midfielder, for whom Vaudrail has failed to find the proper player to replace Azeari Duarte. This formation will be slightly more vulnerable in defense due to the large gaps it leaves in the midfield and how much it demands from the full-backs, but it should also be a greater threat in attack as it quickly overloads the box. If necessary, Olibondeka could shift into their tried-and-tested 4-2-3-1, or a conventional 4-4-2.

Assistant Manager -

Carsten Thunder (Nephara) - Age 39
Long-time starting goalkeeper for Royal Rumiatzi, including the whole of Louis Vaudrail’s tenure at the club, Thunder is a second-generation veteran of the Astograthian game and well respected across the nation. Taking his first steps into management, he managed to land this assistant manager position just before the Copa Rushmori 36 and has entrenched himself as a reliable hand, well-liked by players and astute in his advice to Vaudrail.

Starting XI:

#1 - GK – Gentza Bedigax - Age 33 -

FC Felsenkirchen 1879 (Siovanija and Teusland) - 61 caps, 1 goal, 29 clean sheets
Once starter for Urbizania Wanderers, now playing for one of Siovanija and Teusland’s top teams, Bedigax has steadily established himself as one of the best goalkeepers ever to play for the national team. His average of less than a goal conceded per match is only topped by Machin Logegaray, who only started for a single qualifying run. Bedigax is the first keeper to score an international goal for Astograth (in a freak accident against Electrum), and with several club honours under his belt is looking to add international glory to his career. Sports distinctive mutton chops, leading to his nickname Hartza, The Bear.

#5 - LB – Marko Martel - Age 26 –

Lajuno (Eura) - 69 caps, 2 goals
Martel is one of Astograth's most exciting players. Bursting onto the scene at just 18 years old, he was part of Sporting Ibarguren's Royal Cup-winning team, beating Urbizania Wanderers in the final despite being a second-tier side. Swiftly transferred to giants Sporting Iturributa, he was part of a league-winning squad but, frustrated at the lack of playing time, forced his move to Athletic Club Olarria, where more strong performances earned him a place on the national team and on the famous Galácticos longlist. Nothing if not ambitious, he further secured a move to the Euraleague and displaced Remondegi as starter for Olibondeka - how much farther can he go?

#2 - CB - Mogel Doyenard (C) - Age 32 –

Sporting Iturributa - 107 caps, 7 goals
Doyenard is, by conventional wisdom, the best Astograthian defender currently playing. The key to Sporting Iturributa’s unprecedented First Division threepeat was their impenetrable defense, from which they held an iron grip on Astograthian football. Doyenard has been the core of that defense for a decade, and commands respect throughout the league. Measuring 193 cm, he's also a valuable asset in attacking corners, especially when the opposition proves hard to beat in open play. As Olibondeka’s 19th ‘centurion’ and long-serving vice-captain, he was the obvious choice to succeed Lekea as team captain.

#3 - CB - Alarabi Labeaga - Age 25 -

Mâ Âlâmëómë (Farfadillis) - 30 caps
An impetuous young talent, Labeaga came through the youth ranks of Urbizania Wanderers, rapidly making his way to the first team at age 18 and featuring in their title-winning run of 680. Vaudrail, then manager of Royal Rumiatzi, arranged their purchase of Labeaga but was unable to control the centre-back's ego and demands for a starting spot. Forcing a move abroad, he was able to land at the renowned Mâ Âlâmëómë of Farfadillis and immediately won a league title. Labeaga considers himself a god of defending, which tends to rub staff and teammates the wrong way; nevertheless, Vaudrail has decided he must succeed the ageing Leskerre. His unruly friendship with Muhaburu is sure to cause trouble off the pitch, though being mentored by Doyenard could hopefully polish Labeaga into a reliable centre-back. Can also act as defensive midfielder – emphasis on defensive – if necessary.

#16 - RB – Ixaka Echeberz - Age 30 -

AC Izotz Zubia (Audioslavia) – 65 caps, 1 goal
Echeberz is a solid, reliable player who can stay in defense or move forward into a more modern wing-back role. An important player for Urbizania Wanderers, his performances for the national team caught the eye of the powerful Izotz Zubia, securing him an unexpected transfer to the Audioslavian National League. Not the most exciting player, but he has heart, confidence and experience.

#8 – DM - Baraxil Muhaburu - Age 25 -

Rülândéá Kôstä (Farfadillis) – 28 caps, 1 goal
A youth product of Garitzeta Racing Club, Muhaburu was set to break into the first team when Racing took a deep dive into the Second DIvision. Setting his sights elsewhere, Muhaburu landed in Farfadillis, signing for Rülândéá Kôstä and later marching to league glory. Despite his reputation for a poor attitude and off-pitch antics, including a fondness for drink, Vaudrail has been eager to take advantage of Muhaburu’s excellent vision, passing technique, and ability to threaten goal or take set pieces. Paired with Bergara, Muhaburu will be the main creative outlet. Although capable at defending, it is far from his specialty – a weakness opponents may exploit.

#15 - DM – Domiku Bergara - Age 29 -

AC Izotz Zubia (Audioslavia) - 37 caps, 1 goal
Hardworking Bergara was spotted as a sharp talent at a young age, and Urbizania Wanderers shelled out a big wad of cash to sign him from Iturributa United at age 21. With Wanderers, Bergara got his hands on a league title and a Royal Cup before striking out to join Audioslavia's AC Izotz Zubia, where he has enjoyed great success and earned a place on the national team. An elegant, patient player skilled in both defense and with the ball, he’ll have the pressure of being the main ball-winner in a formation that tends to leave the midfield open.

#11 - LM – Eskuin Nekol - Age 23 -

AC Izotz Zubia (Audioslavia) – 13 caps, 2 goals
Nekol is perhaps one of the most shocking comeback stories in Astograthian football. A product of Royal Association’s academy, he transferred to Sporting Iturributa while still a teenager and quickly found himself in the first team of a club that was a on a roll, winning three league titles in a row. The following season was disastrous for Sporting, dropping down to 7th, but Nekol’s career was on the rise as a clever winger that could shoot from range, catching the eye of international scouts. Then, in the cup final that could save the season, Nekol was subbed on and stupidly punched the opposition captain in extra-time; Sporting would lose on penalties to the lowly Gesterlake. This effectively ended his career at Iturributa, allowing AC Izotz Zubia to swoop in for cheap. The rest is history – a National League title and an incredible, 45-yard goal to his name, in just his first season.

#10 - RM – Ihazintu Malkorra (VC) - Age 31 -

Aries Chariots (Nephara) – 87 caps, 17 goals
Malkorra, voted three times best right winger in the First Division, was a youth product of Miners FC before signing with Royal Association and eventually cross-town rivals Sporting Iturributa, emerging as one of Astograth's best players - his dribbling is mesmerising, and can flow freely from center midfield to the back to up on attack as the situation requires. In Nephara he has shined for both Vermillion Wanderers and Aries Chariots, making the Galáctico longlist multiple times.

#7 - CF – Olentzaro Karazatorre - Age 26 -

KT Moreazerua (Audioslavia) - 41 caps, 13 goals
Karazatorre, one-time winner of the First Division's Young Player award, became known to the Astograthian public at age 20 with aplomb. He banged in 13 goals in a season for the modest Antiguoko FC as they finished in 10th place, then 15 as they climbed to 8th, then 19 goals, before signing with Ituraitz FC, Pyathora Mariners of Tikariot and finally Audioslavia’s Moreazerua. It’s been said for quite a while now that Karazatorre has all the makings of the next great Astograthian forward, but the clock is ticking and everyone’s waiting. As regular starter it is, perhaps, finally time for him to shine.

#9 - CF - Aire Epherra - Age 33 -

Rülândéá Kôstä (Farfadillis) – 54 caps, 28 goals
A regular in the Astograthian First Divisions' top scorer charts, Epherra is a tall, burly, clinical target man skilled at spearheading counter-attacks and holding up the ball to play in his teammates, and will do all he can to solidify himself as the premier Astograthian forward. With an impressive record of 28 goals in 50 caps (baby), Epherra is already the nation’s 6th top all-time scorer. He doesn’t much like strike partnerships, but has built a begrudging respect for Karazatorre over the years.

Substitutes:

#13 - GK – Echepare Rospide - Age 24 -

KT Itzalovalle (Audioslavia) – 3 caps, 1 clean sheet
A low-profile product of Garitzeta Racing Club’s academy, Rospide was snapped up at 21 by the eagle-eyed scouts of Audioslavia’s KT Itzalovalle. They evidently saw something that local coaches did not, because Rospide, in a few short years, has taken over as starter and performed admirably in the IFCF’s top-ranked league. Made his international début at the World Cup 87 finals against none other than Nephara, after Bedigax was forced off with an injury.

#23 - GK – Bihar Raldua – Age 30 -

Ituraitz FC – 2 caps, 1 clean sheet
Raldua returns to the call-up sheet after a cycle out, partly because Stahlburg Rover’s Aurre Laurnagaray refused to be third goalkeeper, furious that he was leapfrogged by Rospide despite having seniority. Raldua is Ituraitz FC’s long-time starter, vastly experienced at club level and, although not expected to play, would certainly be a very capable substitute for Bedigax.

#19 – LB/LM – Urtzumu Ganzarain – Age 23 -

Guerrilla Cathair (Audioslavia) - Capped for Olympic Women’s team
Ganzarain is, not without controversy, the first woman to be called up to the Astograthian national team – which has always been, nominally, unisex. As a left winger who came through Army United’s women’s team, Ganzarain struck off to Audioslavia’s Guerrilla Cathair rather than stay in the segregated Astograthian system. Earning promotion to the National League with Guerrilla has caught Vaudrail’s eye, though she is expected to primarily be an option at left-back rather than her more usual role up the pitch.

#18 - CB - Ugaitz Leskerre - Age 33 -

Lajuno (Eura) - 84 caps
Despite a low public profile, Leskerre has established himself in one of the best leagues in the world at Eura's Lajuno, which has a proud tradition of sourcing Astograthian talent. Having also played for Pasarga's Paulinthal FC, Leskerre's talent and experience had him consistently start for the national team over the last three cycles. His partnership with Doyenard has been credited as the core component to Astograth’s defensive excellence in recent years, but Vaudrail thinks it’s time to more decisively cycle a younger option in Alarabi Labeaga.

#4 – CB – Aztore Andia - Age 26 -

Royal Rumiatzi – 2 caps
Royal Rumiatzi value a very specific type of centre-back: big ones. Tall, wide, impassable and immovable objects, passing skills optional. Andia ticks all of those boxes, including the optional one. His job is to sit in the middle of a deep defense and be impassable, while laying out the ball to those who know how to move it around. If this is all he’s asked to do, he can do it extremely well. Excels at man-marking big centre-forwards, so may be brought on to specifically counter one of those.

#12 – RB – Baiona Menduburu - Age 28 -

Sporting Iturributa – 2 caps
A product of Sporting Iturributa’s renowned academy, Menduburu spent his early years at the club as understudy to starter Cheru Lizarza, who at that time also started for the national team. Promoted a couple of seasons ago after Lizarza’s acrimonious departure to Ituraitz FC, Menduburu has proven himself a capable if unspectacular right-back. Determined and somewhat rough in the tackle, but effective.

#6 - DM - Gaitzka Gurina - Age 29 -

Casuals Osteria (Krytenia) - 67 caps, 4 goals
Gurina was for many years the ticking engine of Sporting Iturributa, and previously filled the same role for Astograth before the rise of Domiku Bergara. Coming out of the youth system of Ituraitz Victory, Gurina is dogged in defense and cerebral in attack, a one-time Galáctico longlist nominee, and an excellent replacement for either Bergara or Muhaburu. Has recently made a risky career move to the Krytenian O-League in a bid for greater international impact – will it pay off?

#14 - DM – Potz Gambor - Age 25 -

Canbix Muses (Zwangzug) – 2 caps
Gambor was discarded by Ituraitz FC after outgrowing their U21 squad. Not one to lose hope, he took his talents abroad and found a home in Zwangzug’s Canbix Muses, where he has steadily earned a place and started to shine brightly enough to catch Louis Vaudrail’s attention. Can be deployed in defensive midfield or a bit further up as a box-to-box midfielder - whatever makes the most of his endurance, tackling ability, tight passing and knack for long shots.

#21 - LM – Anchoka Oyhantkabal - Age 24 -

Real Campo Grande (Valladares) – Capped for Olympic Men’s team
A lithe winger, fast and incisive. Delighted the league as a youngster and made a big move to Royal Rumiatzi at 21, but never really got going there. His chance to be a regular starter was later blocked by the signing of a Nepharim player, and in his frustration Oyhantkabal forced a move to Valladares’ ambitious Real Campo Grande. His call-up responds more to a lack of other options, but he’ll be eager to prove at club and country that he’s up to the task.

#20 - RM – Zilar Galharretborde - Age 25 -

Langlois Océanic (Kelssek) – 17 caps
Galharretborde came through the youth ranks of Royal Arexa, and thanks to a wily agent and a leap of faith, he managed to land a move to Kelssek's Langlois Océanic. In his first season he impressed, earning the league's Young Player award and catching the eye of the national team in the process. He may not be the fastest or most technical player, but he is very good at stretching the field of play by building up moves from the wing, playing fluid football with his full-back and centre midfield. A markedly different style to Malkorra, providing some tactical flexibility.

#17 – CF/RM – Yokin Arana - Age 30 -

Bayern-Algaer (Taeshan) – 37 caps, 4 goals
Formerly a key component for Iturributa United's lean goalscoring machine, Arana is now rated as one of the best forwards in the Taeshani league. Despite not being a physical player, he is quite capable of finding space in tight defenses, and is notable for seeing beyond his own boots and playing smart assists rather than going for goal himself. Left-footed, he can also be deployed as an inside forward on the right wing for Astograth. Arana is an interesting variant at Vaudrail's disposal, and returns to the squad after a cycle out, following some strong individual performances for Bayern-Algaer.

#22 – CF – Yokin Erdokiain - Age 22 -

Urbizania Wanderers – Uncapped
Erdokiain became known to the Astograthian public as a timid youth product of minnows Urizaharra FC, contributing 21 goals across two First Division seasons, shockingly succeeding at remaining in the top flight both times. Singled out as one of the top young players in the league, he’s been snapped up by Urbizania Wanderers and earned himself a call-up to the national team. The expectation is huge and so are the questions – can he really do it on a qualifying night at Grand Duke’s Stadium? Not a particularly large player, but devilishly fast and a flashy dribbler, which contributes to his popularity.

Home grounds
The national team will play at different venues depending on the match. The assignments are as follows:
MD2 vs. Srednjaci- at Grand Duke's Stadium (90,000), Rumiatzi - the national stadium
MD4 vs. Banija - at Grand Duke's Stadium (90,000), Rumiatzi - the national stadium

Football Federation of Huayramarca

Official Roster for the 88^th World Cup

About Huayramarca: The Plurinational State of Huayramarca, also known as ”Huayramarca Mamallaqta” in Quechua and ”Huayramarca Suyu” in Aymara (literally: Windy Country), is an extraordinarily diverse nation in terms of geography that’s located up north Atlantian Oceania. Crossing three time zones, from the coasts to the jungle, passing massive cordilleras such as the Andes and Sierra, a nation with 36 million inhabitants that belong to 9 different ethnical groups.

Huayramarca as such is a relatively new nation for the traditional standards of it, since it was constituted on 1822 (currently, we sit on 1981 according to the Inca Calendar), the main focus of building this nation was to help different ethnic groups to gather force into the region, in order to be recognized multiversally as a nation, hence, may gather some international protection in case their rights would be abused all of a sudden by an external force.

Being completely ignorant on what was happening on the neighborhood, the Aymara, Quechua, Shuar, Guarani, Montubio, Tsáchila, Huaorani, Andoa and Candoshi ethnics decided to form the Republic with the support of neighboring nations such as the Royal Kingdom of Québec. Migration from Québec happened in the late XIX century, mostly peoples known as ”Guayabalenses” decided to move in order to seek a stable place for their families, considering that their home soil was apparently brushed off the map by a dictator called “Gregory”. That last point forced the Huayramarcans into a stronger union in order to survive.

Until the middle XX century, Huayramarca managed to survive economically from llama, alpaca and vicuña herding, since its skins are highly valuable in neighboring Québec due to their strong winters; also, coffee production helped Huayramarca to build some solid institutions that promoted national expansion near the neighboring Cocoabo Forest, that place is “La Selva”, a lush but quite dangerous forest with hundreds of rivers that come from the Andes. After some years of exploration, the authorities met the first indigenous peoples of the zone, which were exploited in order to produce rubber for tires and some mysterious chickens that were provided in order to even more mysterious sacrifices to a deity, which the local people and even the rest of Huayramarca wasn’t able to understand how she works, granted, it’s not even a part of the Incan Mythology which includes Inti (the Sun god) and others.

Said abuses committed against the jungle inhabitants caused a heavy political turmoil around 1950, which formed a divide in the nation that still remains until today: Serranos (highlanders), Costeños (coastals) against selváticos(jungle inhabitants); Those divides weren’t noticeable in economic terms but politically, with constant attempts of coup ‘d etat against the government. That situation caused some issues with the neighboring Québec, who neglected to support financially any of those groups if they don’t manage to cooperate between themselves in order to provide prosperity to a heavily hunger-suffering nation back in the time.

Aymara and Quechua peoples took the power during the remaining part of the 50’s until 1969. On that period, Huayramarca suffered a lot of “huaycos” (mudslides) caused by heavy rain storms near the Andes and Sierra, those events killed at least 300,000 people and urged for an attempt to reincorporate Huayramarca back into normality, but, how? The main bet of the government was to aim for the tourism industry, spamming the developed nations of Atlantian Oceania in order to make some tourists visit sacred places such as Illimani (a mountain that’s devoted as god for the Aymara folk), Huayna Picchu (the royal Incan palace for Quechua) and the sun drenched coast ranging from Guayaquil to Lima (specially Montañita, the best beach par excellence in northern Atlantian Oceania).

The formula was working decently, since the economy was reporting high growth numbers, but seemed to cause some lack of satisfaction on certain zones of the country, specially on the Jungle. Their inhabitants decided to support the Costeño elite in order to beat the Serrano government. 1969 election would be marked for the Huayramarcan history by the magnitude of the sabotage made against the current government, to the point of bribery or killings for their supporters, those incidents made the Costeño elite take control of government and focus even more on the Coast and Jungle, leaving aside the Sierra.

Currently, Huayramarca has a huge wealth gap between zones, the coast boasts the fact of being the economical engine of the nation despite the fact that the capital city is in the Sierra Region, while the Jungle is slowly developing with some cities such as Ormeño, Madre Santa, Virú and several others boosted by oil findings and rubber production. Sierra may be in disadvantage, but recent developments in neighboring nations may make them turn relevant once again in the nation, since lithium batteries demand is growing up and Huayramarca’s Sierra possesses one of the biggest lithium reserves of the entire multiverse.

Basically, Huayramarca is a nation of contrasts and never—ending conflicts that’s well into the deep borehole named “the natural resource course” a hard situation to overcome due to the lack of proper education, critical thinking and result-focused mindset on the population, that constantly seeks for shelter in entertainment industries such as soap operas, music, and now football. Right now, power struggles between the Costeño government led by Hugo Mina and leftist pro-Serrano social movement “Ñucanchi Ñan”made people more fond into football, since they really needed an oxygen supply inbetween a lot of crisis and turmoil that could lead to the radicalization of this conflict, to the point of seeing Ñucanchi Ñan turning into a guerrilla and killing Hugo Mina in 1981 after he wanted to exploit minerals in the Aymara holy land of Mount Illimani, located at the outskirts of Huayramarca Metropolitan District.

Since that, Huayramarca has breathed some fresh air, since Ñucanchi Ñan took power with Marta Mamani as the first woman president of the Plurinational Republic, and Augusto Buendía as VP, Huayramarca is enjoying some social transformations that may cause some shakings on what Huayramarcans were knowing as their daily life laws. Focus in sustainable economic growth, taking care of the environment and visibilization of minorities are the main topics on the political agenda, something that is being well received by many people in the nation. This environment has led to an increase in nationalism, since the national unity is being fostered as a State Policy, sports, specially football, is being the main vehicle to promote that sense, as now, the Huayramarcan Football Federation budget has been increased tenfold in order to aim for success in short-term, also aiming to send players overseas and developing techniques to enhance the player's physical and technical shape.

Facts about the nation

Official Name: Estado Plurinacional de Huayramarca - Huayramarcan Plurinational State.
Motto: Unión y Libertad - Union and Freedom.
National Anthem: Noble Huayramarca, tu hermosa bandera.
Capital City: Huayramarca D.M. (Distrito Metropolitano) - Huayramarcan Metropolitan District.
Highest Point: Nevado Inti (7,920 masl)
Currency: Inti (I$ 1 = N$ 0.33)
Languages: Spanish, Quechua, Aymara (main); Six other indigenous languages.

Football-wise Information: As a society, Huayramarcans enjoy sports a lot, specially when politics may turn the nation into a chaos every second, they just want to run away from that horrible and desperate situation and may try luck on football.

Considering the levels of poverty on Huayramarca, many young people may give a shot for football in the chaotic Liga 1 or lower tiers, with the hopes of achieving a decent salary that may help their families to get away from poverty and huayco-prone neighborhoods. Liga 1 has fourteen teams from different parts of the country, mostly focused on the Sierra and Costa regions since those are the most heavily populated ones.

In the last year, the president of the Plurinational State, Hugo Mina (Costeño), thought it would be a great idea to form a fringe squad for the AOCAF and then try to make it into Baptism of Fire or World Cup Qualifiers, hence he asked for Eliezer González (head of the Huayramarcan Football Federation) to try and apply for said tournaments. He sent notes in order to sign-up for those events, but he sent them incorrectly, at AOCAF, he sent it to a grandmother living up near the Andean Organization for Coffee, Agriculture and Forests (located at Cumbayá) instead of sending it to the proper AOCAF tournament organizing committee, which turned González into laughing stock for several weeks in Huayramarca. Despite that, González managed to sign-up properly for the WC, despite he was rejected for BoF because he applied to the “Burger of Fire” and not the Baptism of Fire.

After all, the HFF managed to convince 25 players from the amateur-ish Liga 1 sides to build the National Team, whose nickname is resumed to “Kuntur” (The Condors), all those players range from being high school students, to chemists, bus drivers, and even people from the local tavern, whose preference is revealed on how they named their team “Real Ebriedad”, which was later supported by Cristalina, the main brewery firm from Huayramarca. Those 25 players decided to investigate some football techniques and decided to apply them at the different games they played on the inaugural Liga 1 season that was won by Real Ebriedad (in a game where corruption was noticeable as how the referee was given beer instead of an energetic beverage).

Nothing that would be possible without the support of Omar Caicedo, a Costeño who migrated to Québec and decided to learn some football techniques while managing Beyreuth University, where he won three national titles out of eight seasons on his span with them. Caicedo is a fan of high-pressure football, known as “gegenpressing” or “El Huayco” as Huayramarcans may call if (specially Serranos, since they might be quite shy or sometimes plain dumb that doesn’t like to attack) Anyways, Caicedo’s strategy proved right on some matches played by Huayramarca against their northern neighbor, the Royal Kingdom of Québec, beating them 5-1 at Huayramarca’s Estadio Nacional (located at 4,012 masl only?!…) and tying 2-2 at Iqaluit’s Ice Hockey Rink (that’s what the players thought at playing in a frozen city… ¡Achachay!) If you wonder what’s ¡Achachay! Well, figure out you’re on top of the mountain receiving wind and gelid weather right into you, if you did it, welcome to Huayramarcan’s sense of cold shivering!

Well, coming back to football, Caicedo’s devotion for 4-2-3-1 is unquestionable, he always loves to boast of having a neat defense, two defending mid fielders that may aim to recover possession when needed, or even having one of them switching to creative duties in support of the team’s brain, Ian Mamani, then, two wingers feeding the sole striker up in the middle of the box. That striker may often go back and try to recover balls and make a power play from himself with support of a winger and then seek for a goal. He did demonstrated a lot during the first part of the World Cup Qualifiers, earning some mixed results during it, but it failed for a part of the second half, where the team accumulated an 11 winless game streak added that they weren't capable to snatch a win during their first eight local games, in fact, their first home win came at the 9th home game, after that, they won three out of their four last home games, earning a 8 games unbeaten streak to finish off the Qualifiers, which was a quite impressive recovery after having their morale smashed on the floor and some players even considered suicide, since they were considered to be a mediocre living fail walking through their home cities streets.

Said streak wasn’t a mere happening, it was somehow a confirmation on how the Huayramarcan National Team had turned into a squad that tried to consolidate themselves as a hardworking team, with limited chances to put some squads in troubles but capable enough to defend well and to avoid harm being done against them. The Cup of Harmony 77 was an interesting test for the team, to see if they are capable to handle out the nerves of what it implies to be struggling for a knockout spot until the last second of the last match, which is what happened to the Condors, since they tied their first three games, they had a chance to get into the last rounds but they had to face Port Ember, the top seed of their group. Huayramarca succumbed to the nerves and wasted a 2-0 lead to see how Port Ember scored five goals in quick succession, nothing more to do for a Huayramarcan squad that seemed capable to pull off a decent feat.

The AOCAF 60 saw how a somewhat forged squad perform against the top dogs into their region, a path that won’t show immediate results and may fuel some anger amongst the Huayramarcan populace and media, but, the patience of Omar Caicedo and his pupils is being determinant in order to see if this generation profiles themselves to be somehow relevant. A 1-7 against Equestrian States, followed by draws and a win, helped the team to gather some confidence, despite the terrible beginning on said championship.

A spectacular beginning on World Cup 86 Qualifiers helped the Condors to finish 4th in the first half of qualifiers, being two points below the second placed squad, but defeats against top dogs such as Ko-oren and Tequilo killed the desires of this national team to qualify, also, instigated by poor performances against low and other mid-ranked nations boosted that debacle. The Cup of Harmony wasn't different to the end of the World Cup Qualifiers, it was in the same shape, defeats, defeats and pressure on the squad due to the fact that they were worried on what was happening on Huayramarca, due to the death of Hugo Mina, uncertainty arosed and caused the players to have a subpar performance in the tournament, despite a late win that turned to be the first ever one for Huayramarca in the Cup of Harmony.

With the latest investments made by the Huayramarcan Government to the Huayramarcan Football Federation, by multiplying tenfold their budget, the HFF has now sent the managerial staff of the Condors to other nations, in order to gather new ideas and apply those in order to build a competent side in tactical terms, with the main purpose to achieve World Cup qualification for the first time as soon as possible and provide that joy to the Huayramarcan folk. That heavy investment provided some benefits during the 87^th World Cup Qualifiers, where Huayramarca left behind the label of being an "uncomfortable rival" to take a protagonic role in their group, finishing second, behind Audioslavia, with a solid 40 points in 18 matches. Things in playoffs might be forgetable since the beginning, since Huayramarca didn't took advantage in the first leg despite playing home, tying with Tikariot and then being defeated heavily at the second leg (1-4), made the Condor's illusions of WC Qualifying end horribly.

Despite the downturn in the team's mindset, the team faced some struggles at the Cup of Harmony group stage. Being defeated by Mriin at the first game, defeating Garifunya 1-0 and then tying against Ibixa for the second time in the cycle sent the Condors to the Knockout phase of CoH for their first time ever, Xanneria was a hard rival for the Round of 32, Huayramarca's miracle run was about to start with a narrow 2-1 win over them; then two rock-solid performances against Saint Domingue and a well-known foe from the WCQ Group (Sargossa) with a 3-1 and 2-0 respectively, put Huayramarca among the best four sides in the Cup of Harmony. Being defeated by Mriin with a hard-fought 2-3 and then once again a 1-4 against Newmanistan were enough to confirm Huayramarca as the 4^th placed side, with desire to improve their performance in this World Cup Qualifier, hoping to achieve heights that they haven't reached ever before, this, as a way to lift their mood after a quite discrete participation in the last AOCAF, where they won only one time, tied two and were defeated two times.

Something that makes Huayramarcan football so distinguishable is that they are prone to do long range shots, due that they are used to play at significant heights, the lack of oxygen may make the ball travel further without applying a lot of strength during the mechanics of kicking the football, that is known as the “Andean Effect” and may cause serious troubles for visiting sides on Huayramarca, adding the main fact that breathing might be harder for those used to low altitudes.

Without further ado, the starting XI and substitutes are presented in the following tables:

Team mentality: Huayramarcans, per se, are bold and quite diverse between the team due to the regional contrasts among them: You might note some surnames such as: Condori, Mamani, Quispe, Sayritupac, etc. Those are Serrano surnames. Serranos as such are quite shy people with non-serranos, between them, great footballing societies may be made due to their complete understanding of each other, they are quite homogenous on how they act and may be predictable for each other. But, for the non-expert eye, Serranos are one on their kind and could result unpredictable for them, since they love to do things at fast pace between them, without doubt one could send a 60 meters cross with complete confidence that they might find their teammate, with this, you can notice that Serranos are overconfident on themselves and somewhat dubious with Costeños and Selváticos. Other characteristic of Serranos is that they are quite easy to intimidate, being shy and short-sized doesn’t helps, but in that situation, they might opt to act even better than they do for the sake of shutting your mouth.

Costeños and Selváticos (jungle) in the other hand are confident with everybody, even if they might not receive the same treatment by their Serrano fellows. Those two groups conform the rest of the team and might do good societies on field, declining the quality of their chemistry when trying to connect with Serranos, due to the latter shy mood. Physically speaking, Costeño and Selváticos are people who boast being the tallest overall in the team, also, their mania for body preparation at gyms make them suitable to defensive duties and running on the wings since they love running crazily (they usually do that, since they are used to run away from police or a mob of angry Serranos after robbing).

Overall, the team has some issues while trying to build chemistry, since there are two well-marked groups with some issues, but may try to join forces when needed or when they are being heavily massacred (football-wise) such as it happened on World Cup Qualifiers, when they were 3-2-6 on the first half of Qualifiers, they managed to comeback decently with a 5-6-2 sheet for the second leg, turning it into an overall 8-8-8, which is nothing bad for the usual accountability of unranked nations. Leaving aside those issues, the team boasts some decent characteristics for running on the wings, the team itself is fast paced but may have problems while struggling physically (especially if a Serrano is trying to mark) since they aren’t so strong to do that, albeit, the consequences of it may be noticeable only with high-ranked teams.

Cup of Harmony and AOCAF weren't precisely the best participation that Huayramarca could've done, at least they put some decent opposition on the CoH with three tied games and losing the final one, despite they had the chance to get into the knockouts had they won the game against the top seeded side of Port Ember, but two goals were the nail into the coffin for the Condors. Equestrian States, the hosts of AOCAF were the ones ready to face Huayramarca for its debut, a shameful and one that Huayramarca will be likely to skip the page since the hosts drove over the Condors with an astounding 7-1, then, some defeats were complicating Huayramarca and left the side without chance to reach the playoffs, one tied game and the first victory ever of this side against Yesopalitha were the games that somehow let Huayramarca with some dignity and not being able to be the worst team of the tournament.

For the second cycle in World Cup Qualifiers, things will not change and the same squad with the same managing team will try to do a somewhat decent participation in a group that looks as complicated as the last WCQ one did seemed. There's some experience for this side right now, also, their skills might be improving since they are getting the real professional experience rather than the one they could find this year in the inaugural season of the Huayramarcan Liga-1|2|3 system. Caicedo had some hard time during the AOCAF, his head would be on risk in another nation, but being the only one able in Huayramarca to manage a team like this one is a point on his favor, still, he does know that patience won't be eternal, hence, the need to recover the path will be fundamental, specially on home where there could be a lot of advantage, even more in the capital city, perhaps one of the most difficult venues in the multiverse. Risks have been taken, Caicedo decided to take the team into a series of high-performance camps all across Huayramarca instead of taking friendlies, since he considers that chemistry and tactics need a new breeze, specially an adaptation to a new physical stamina level that he does want to apply to the players, hence, a lot of physically-demanding activities have been done by the team during the New Year holidays.

To finish with this part, Huayramarca is that kind of team that may be overconfident sometimes, but if you press them to their limits, they might react in unsuspected ways, be those positive or negative for their interests, you don’t know what would happen in the Serrano, Costeño or Selvático mindset. As they do on the local league, they might try to do some antics to their rivals, be it: providing beer instead of water to their rivals, or the classiest one, giving distillated “ayahuasca” (vodka-like alcohol) and pass it like water and make their rivals be drunk, taking advantage of their influence to beat the rival team. Of course, they might not abuse of this resource, Serranos might ask Inti for it.

Game Scheme: Caicedo aims to use always a 4-2-3-1 scheme that he dubs it as “El huayco” (the mudslide) due to an analogy he made of his team with such a devastating natural phenomena: “We aim to build a fast team, aiming to be unpredictable for the others while using our regional paradigms in our favor. The less known we are, the more lethal we could be and that’s why I love not having a specific plan.” That’s what Caicedo wants to use, but in reality, there are some hints to analyze what he loves to do with his teams, especially on Beyreuth University of Québec.

El Huayco is a style of play in which you look to win back the ball as soon as you lose it, and you try to win it back as high up the pitch as possible; that means you’re closing down a lot to put pressure on the player that's just won the ball back.

The idea is that the player who just won the ball will be vulnerable and won't have time to think about his first pass. You just close him down to win the ball back quickly as high up the pitch as possible, and then you initiate a counter attack. You're likely already half way there and ready to go past into space and score a goal.

You can also use this tactic to target specific weak players, if you have noticed a weakness in a certain team. Maybe central defenders or full backs aren't comfortable on the ball, and you can look to press and close down certain individuals to try and make the most out of this game pressing style.

For the last purpose mentioned, Serranos are heavily important, they might be the analogue of a dog felling your fear and then attacking, they as collective love to use their different point of views and implement them as one while attacking, then fast passes and maybe a long range shot may happen, especially if the team is playing on the highlands. If the team is playing on the coast or jungle, they might seek to control the ball and make the rival team run behind the ball for some time, in order to cause climatic exhaust on them, since coast and jungle are hot and terribly humid in this part of Atlantian Oceania, so it may pose a real challenge for teams not used to play in such conditions.

To achieve Caicedo’s main goal, there are several prerequisites for successful counterpressing. The decisive factor is the overall positioning of the team and their playing style right before attempting to counterpress. The players must play as close to one another as possible so that they can press together as a unit right after the ball is lost – which is a given in short passing football. At the same time, they should not stick so close to one another that they neglect to cover enough space. Usually, a good layout in possession and a good shape behind the lost ball go hand in hand.

Some trainers use the basic rule of thumb to “occupy the fewest possible zones with individual players, but the greatest possible distance between the players within those zones so that they don’t occupy the same space” to make the positioning simple to understand; although, with a rule of thumb like this, some aspects are lost in terms of complexity.

Many teams also have problems deciding when to stop pressing, for example, when we stop pressing if we can’t win the ball back? When should we retreat? How long should you press and with how many players? This is particularly problematic because the position of the ball is always changing. Therefore, there is a theory created by Caicedo – the five second rule. Immediately after losing the ball the team should press at top speed and with maximum intensity for five seconds.

If the team hasn’t recovered the ball within five seconds and there is no chance of immediately winning it, they should fall back into their defensive formation. Depending on the team, the number of seconds may vary. It is recommended that the strategic basics of “El Huayco” be coached in order to develop a flexible, situation-specific length of time for counterpressing.

For scorination purposes, set the style modifer of Huayramarca at +1.

The Kits: Huayramarca’s social mindset is to aim for local consumption in the long term, hence the HFF decided to hire “eva Sportswear” to manufacture the kits for the national team. “eva” decided to take the ball out of the park with some unique designs for Huayramarca, reflecting the national identity and adding up some motivational phrases on them for mere sake of marketing. Those kits are based on the geography of this nation, from the coast, to the highlands and jungle in order to promote a sense of national unity, especially on a stage that the national team might try to do something decent in their first World Cup Qualifiers venture.

As backgrounds, you might notice some decent spots that Huayramarca has to offer, such as Huayna Picchu, the mythical castle built in the Andes and thought to be built for the Incaic Emperors some centuries ago. On the second kit, the sacred Illimani, a mountain located just outskirts Huayramarca’s Metropolitan District, this 6540 masl mountain is believed to be an angel sent my Inti to protect the city against any disaster. On the third kit, the gigantic Guayas River is displayed, with some Guayaquil neighborhoods in it (Guayaquil is the third biggest city in Huayramarca), also possible home for some World Cup Qualifier games.

As for the goalkeeper kits, in their main kit, the second largest city of Huayramarca, and the main coastal city, Lima is featured, this city is known for their gorges near the coast, something like a potential protection against disasters as the so frightening tsunamis. To finish with, the magnificent Chimborazo mountain is featured in the background for the away goalkeeper shirt, with some important animals for the Huayramarcan folk such as the wild vicuñas, known for their weird habit of flesh-eating (Beware if you go there and see one of those, they might not be friendly if meat isn’t given to them).

Players description - Starting XI.

Nota bene: Caps considered before World Cup 87 Qualifiers - For national purposes, friendlies are never taken into consideration for official registries.

N°1 - Juan Mamani - GK - 25 yrs - Team: Ate FC - Height: 1.88 mts - Caps: 98 - Goals: 1

Mamani is an individual that believes he always is right, he tends to be creative when saving balls of creating some innovative ideas to take the ball forward, based so much in the fact that he is protective, spontaneous and loves to be independent in his actions. Currently, he is sad because he broke up with his girlfriend. Despite his relationship failure, he might seek some attention as the goalkeeper of the national team, forming decent bonds with his teammates in order to leave the baby steps soon in terms of footballing level. Also, he's brother with the creative mid of this team, Ian Mamani. He also has the curious record of scoring a free kick goal against Greater Lausitz, that goal helped Huayramarca to get their first ever victory at home soil on World Cup 85^th, matchday 18^th.

N°2 - Kevin Quispe - RCB - 22 yrs - Team: Fadrön Flight (Taeshan) - Height: 1.75 mts - Caps: 97 - Goals: 4

A pretty average guy in terms of intelligence that has no life plan, hence he left studies in order to make a living with football. He is very secretive, doesn't likes even to tell his teammates what will be his next movement because he knows we will be wrong, Quispe has serious issues with anger management and may be rebellious, he is cold and ignores what the others might feel or think about him, he doesn't gives a fu*k of anything. Anyways, he's flabbergasted by the fact of being called to the national team, even more by the fact of being part of the starting XI. Quispe is now an historical player by the fact of being the first Huayramarcan player to move to another country to play football, being at Taeshan will help this useful defender to innovate his tactics and improving the odds for the Huayramarcan National Team to get better at defense.

N°4 - Carlos Vilca - LFB - 26 yrs - Team: Valnohar Rovers FC (Tikariot) - Height: 1.78 mts - Caps: 98 - Goals: 8

Vilca exemplifies the stereotype of a Serrano, he is overly analytical and optimistic, with some patience when a player might approach to him, he might take some minutes to make a mental profile of who he will face and how to block him in its right side. Despite being coordinated and loving to be the center of attention, he loves to be quiet and solitary with his own personal code of conduct, he might be extremely fair while robbing balls and could try to be the surprise factor, since he tends to be a box-to-box player that loves to defend and also create offensive plays when possible. Right now, he's is hyped by the fact of being called, with Gabriel Sayritupac, to Valnohar Rovers FC of Tikariot, in what it seems to be an incredible experience for both players, who might support themselves during their adaptation time on said club.

N°6 - Felipe Fernández - RFB - 21 yrs - Team: Club Atlético Lima - Height: 1.85 mts - Caps: 98 - Goals: 4

Pipe, as known by his teammates is an extremely intelligent right fool back that adapts quite quickly to any situation he might face, he loves being orderly and hates mess. When playing, he is straight-forward and might argument with rivals, referee and even his teammates, he rarely praises others and values learning from experience. Said experiences have helped him to evolve into a solid stalwart for Omar Caicedo in the Huayramarcan defense.

N°14 - Santiago Chumacero - LCB - 25 yrs - Team: FC Atahualpa - Height: 1.81 mts - Caps: 98 - Goals: 8

Chumacero's perception of things might be out of this world, his mind might be some steps forward the others and might help to anticipate to some movements that may be done by the rival. For that purpose, he's always flexible, active and plays like he would be killed if he does a mistake, he's loyal with his team, faithful and gentle, hence he might be the motivator of the squad. Also, he feels inspired by the fact of being a decisive player in the historic run of Huayramarca to the 4^th place in the last Cup of Harmony, his timing, blocks and ball recoverings were important for the team in the late stages.

N°17 - Orlando Mina - CM - 22 yrs - Team: Sporting Club El Alto - Height: 1.95 mts - Caps: 98 - Goals: 4

One of the two defensive mid of the team, being the classical Costeño out there, Mina is the tallest and strongest player of the squad. Mina's attitude is being original and stubborn, giving you some classical Costeño vibes, consistent in his performance and devoted to God, he cares a lot about what he does, since he tries always to correct his mistakes and not suffering on them, instead, he uses them as feedback to improve his game and abilities. Mina's sad right now because his mother was fired from the job, although, he might provide some food for his family while playing with The Condors.

N°11 - Ian Mamani - CF - 22 yrs - Team: Illimani FC - Height: 1.65 mts - Caps: 98 - Goals: 14

The second of the Mamani brothers in this team, along with Juan, Ian has what Juan might lack sometimes, creativity and brightness, although they play in totally different positions and roles in the team. This creative mid and captain of the team is one of the big things among this team, a fast-paced and fussy person with lots of potential, euphoria that drives him to perform as what he can do, being the best of the entire nation in his role. Large crosses are his specialty, including long-range shots when playing on the highlands. Right now, his euphoria level has increased a lot, considering he got called to the national team, the fact of being called captain and being on the international TV screen for WCQ, considering also how he lead the team to that incredible Cup of Harmony run.

N°8 - Nicolás Allauca - CF - 27 yrs - Team: Huayramarca FC - Height: 1.80 mts - Caps: 98 - Goals: 11

Nico was a bus driver until the last three weeks prior to WC 85 Qualifiers, when he decided to enter to the amateur football world of Huayramarca, he was in luck that Caicedo watched him plat and fell in love on how he performed. Allauca is spontaneous and may not like to do training, he is a fast-moving and extremely practical (hates theories) defensive mid, that may mutate to a second creative mid with Ian Mamani and has also a decent capability to score goals while going to attack. Allauca is blunt, might hurt you with his eyes and ignores rules, he might be dramatical when somebody tackles or fouls him, in order to make that player get sent off of at least yellow carded. Nico is pleased with Caicedo for being called up to the team once again.

N°7 - Abraham Mendoza - LF - 23 yrs - Team: Huayramarca FC - Height: 1.63 mts - Caps: 98 - Goals: 7

The smallest of the entire team, Mendoza is a mentally strong individual who loves to work hard, play hard and also be a strong leader inside the team in terms of order. A competent but realistic player who may not be spectacular while playing on the wings, but pragmatical and effective when achieving his purposes. Perhaps, on his personal life he is the best positioned of all the group, since he's currently studying Industrial Engineering at the Huayramarcan Technical University and he's scoring some of the best grades ever in that institution; right now, he's on the verge of graduating with "summa cum laude". You might notice how Abraham's personal discipline is, and this is translated even to football, where he tries to compliment some weaknesses that he may have as his height, but he tries to compensate with some decent body-building routines. He might not be a prolific scorer for the standards of a winger, but he has at least a 35% of assists for the total of Huayramarcan goals scored during the Qualifiers, hence, somebody to take care of.

N°21 - Gabriel Sayritupac - RF - 23 yrs - Team: Valnohar Rovers FC (Tikariot) - Height: 1.75 mts - Caps: 98 - Goals: 28

Sayri as he's known by many people in his native Tulcán (near the Québécois-Huayramarcan border) is an artistic person in all senses of his life. Usually he makes a living by painting portraits of people visiting the Chimborazo National Forest Reserve, sometimes working on a local brewery or doing some football for fun. He doesn't stands being alone and might be that easy-going Serrano (which is weird, if we come to think it). He has some genetic problems that makes him quite prone to injuries, and when those occur, Sayri decides to get inebriated to let frustration go away. A dirty antic he has is that he's well known for giving alcoholic beverages to the rivals instead of water, he has developed modified ayahuasca in order to make it feel and look like water, which has fooled some teams. Keep an eye on him!

Despite that, Sayritupac is a well skilled winger, an antithesis of Mendoza, since he loves to be artistical while dribbling and doing a cross, he might try to do rabonas while shooting or passing and will keep attacking, even more than the usual for a winger like him, he always loves to risk it all. Right now, his mood is high and confident, his departure to the Tikariot Premier League has made him achieve his dream to play abroad and help his family.

N°21 - Bryan Tello - ST - 28 yrs - Team: Club Sport Cumbayá - Height: 1.86 mts - Caps: 98 - Goals: 47

A decently heighted Costeño as forward is always a neat solution for your goal needs, with good pace, stride and also physic abilities Tello is what every team may need for up front. He's factual since he studied Philosophy at the University of Cumbayá, a committed and self-confident man who might be extremely traditional to his striker role, he might seek for some space in order to go front, use his strength and move towards the goal. Tello is a somewhat strong leader among the shadows of the Huayramarcan national team, an outgoing and straight-forward person that could sometimes aggressive since he's prone to be insensitive. He's right now interested in evolving as a legend for Huayramarcan football, something that he is slowly building up with the strength of goals and assists to his teammates.

Substitutes:

Nota bene: In order to have a deeper understanding of Huayramarcan players, take in consideration the following list of personalities for the substitutes. For a better understanding of said list, take time to watch the substitute players list posted again down here and follow the order of said list. The first player on this list, has his mindset reflected in the left of the first row, the second in the right of the first row and then, so on until the last one:

Useful Information and Stadia: Before introducing the stadia, there’s some handy information for away fans who might visit Huayramarca. As said before, this nation has a quite complex geography and some long distances to travel for away fans, since there are only two airports: Huayramarca International Airport, located near Huayramarca Metropolitan District at the highlands, and the Jorge Guerra International Airport in Lima, on the coast. You might need to go up mountains or driving through them which is a complete odyssey due to the risks caused by the Andean geography itself.

People in Huayramarca might be passional about football pretty much everywhere, but more hostile when you go down the mountains, driving to the coast. Down there, if people don’t attack you, weather might do due to the offensive humidity, mosquitoes and heat that may occur there. In Lima, despite being in the coast, the weather is mild and great to play football, but there might be some sandstorms due to the deserts located south of said city. Coastal teams usually play at afternoon, when humidity may suffocate those not used to deal with it.

Same happens at the jungle, but the mosquito issue multiplies thousand-fold, also as humidity caused by constant rains that pass there in their transit to the highlands. Water absorption made by trees cause severe issues with an extremely humid weather, hence jungle teams decide to play often at noon, in order to torture rival teams.

On the Sierra things get worse, since the main problem up there is respiration. For a physical activity like football, people might need some weeks to acclimatize altitude and get an efficient breathing pattern that might supply their physical effort needs. Several cities are above the 2500 masl, even the capital city, which is located at 4000 masl, it doesn’t matters at which time they decide to play, if a team isn’t acclimatized, they will even faint during the game if they don’t have with them oxygen tanks to breathe before the game or if they don’t get some treatment into an hyperbaric chamber.

Stadia are distributed in order to have an equal distribution for regions, considering that there will be twelve local games at Huayramarca, Sierra, Costa and Jungla will receive three matches each one. Each region will receive a high tier rival and then a randomized sort of two other teams in other matchdays. You might contact the Huayramarcan Football Federation (OOC: TG me or shout me at Discord!) in case of more information or solving some needs for your team and fans.

Estadio Nacional de Huayramarca - Capacity: 45,500 - Huayramarca Metropolitan District.

Tenants: Ministry of Culture and Sports of Huayramarca.
Built in: 1968.
Altitude: 4012 meters above sea level.
Local teams: Illimani FC, Real Ebriedad, Huayramarcan National Team.
Data: Built in 1968, the Estadio Nacional is the jewel in the not so well-shaped crown of the Huayramarcan sport venues, an olympic stadium that might be a nightmare for visiting teams due to the altitude and weather of the city, which tends to be somewhat hostile everyday, even more if it's played at noon due to the sun's radiation at that altitude. Despite being an olympic stadium, people tends to set a lot of pressure in it, especially from the neighboring appartment blocks which tends to be crowded for the matches being held there (they might aim lasers from there, take care!).

Also, the walls near the dressing room have some curious messages as such: "Welcome to Huayramarca D.M. At 4,000 meters above sea level "is one of the first things the visiting teams will read upon entering the dressing room, perhaps to make clear the conditions to which they will be subjected throughout the game. It is still somewhat intimidating the following warning that is issued when they leave the visiting dressing room "Caution, if you have the following symptoms: Headache, vertigo, fatigue, tachycardia, nausea or vomiting, wheezing, dyspnoea or inappetence, go to the medical staff, we are at your disposal."
Will host:
Huayramarca vs Nephara. Matchday 2 - 19:30 - Weather conditions: Cold and windy, 52% humidity, -2°C.
Huayramarca vs Togonistan. Matchday 12 - 15:15 - Weather conditions: Cold, clear skies, 65% humidity, 12°C.
Huayramarca vs Sarzonia. Matchday 14 - 19:30 - Weather conditions: Cold and rainy, 61% humidity, 1°C.

Jungla:

Estadio Olímpico del Oriente - Capacity: 26,000 - Sechura.

Tenants: MuniSechura - Municipality of Sechura.
Built in: 1945.
Altitude: 560 meters above sea level.
Local teams: Sociedad Petrolera, Huayramarcan National Team.
Data: One of the biggest stadia in Huayramarca, the main hub of sports in the Jungle region is located at Sechura, a city of about 300,000 inhabitants which serves as logistical hub for operations of rubber production and for explorations into the dense jungle nearby. Sociedad Petrolera is a modest Liga 1 side, but one that tends to attract almost ticket sell outs every game, since people in that region tends to be quite passionated of football in order to forget their not so good daily life. At that city, one should take care of humidity, which tends to be quite strong at times, hence teams usually play there on afternoon or night, since heat might be something difficult to stand even for locals.
Will host:
Huayramarca vs The united states of sonindia. Matchday 7 - 22:15 - Weather conditions: Windy, 75% humidity, 18°C.
Huayramarca vs Squidroidia. Matchday 10 - 15:00 - Weather conditions: Clear skies, 80% humidity, 30°C.
Huayramarca vs Quakmybush. Matchday 15 - 19:30 - Weather conditions: Rainy, 60% humidity, 25°C.

Costa:

Estadio Metropolitano del Guayas - Capacity: 62,000 - Guayaquil.

Tenants: Autoridad Guayaquileña de Deportes - Guayaquilean Sports Authority.
Built in: 1980.
Altitude: 15 meters above sea level.
Local teams: Guayaquil Wanderers, Barcelona Sporting Club, Huayramarcan National Team.
Data: A kettle pot, that's the definition for the biggest stadium in all of Huayramarca. "El Metropolitano" is the most recently built stadium in the nation and will make the debut for international football in Huayramarca. Hosts two teams and the fan athmosphere in Guayaquil is perhaps one of the most intimidatory ones in the multiverse, fans throwing you stones while receiving, throwing flares, extremely noisy people all around and the incredibly hot and humid weather that dominates the city may be lethal for some teams when trying to visit. Rescuing a tie from here may be considered something great, since you survived the "Guayaco" hell. Hence that, teams often love to play at the afternoon, specially at 3:00 P.M. in order to squeeze out the rivals in exhaust.
Will host:
Huayramarca vs Hampton Island. Matchday 4 - 10:15 - Weather conditions: Clear skies, 70% humidity, 28°C.
Huayramarca vs Central Shaneville. Matchday 9 - 18:00 - Weather conditions: Rainy, 85% humidity, 30°C.
Huayramarca vs Brookstation. Matchday 17 - 17:00 - Weather conditions: Hot and sunny, 75% humidity, 33°C .

My opponent, if they RP first, may do the following:

    Godmod scoring events: No.
    RP injuries to my players: Yes. (Contact me first, so we can agree)
    Godmod injuries to my players: Y (Contact me as well)
    Give red cards to my players: Y (Maximum of 3).
    Godmod other events: Y (Contact me first.)

Nota Bene: Do not RP a pandemic on Huayramarcan soil, if done, it will be ignored and a complaint will be raised to the hosts due to invalid godmodding.

Legalese is a gargantuan, cultured nation in ~~the hallowed Northeast of Atlantian Oceania~~ Anaia. It consists of two landmasses - the continential mainland and the adjoining Karin Islands - and is located on the eastern side of the Calanian continent, between Lake Bekk on the west, Audioslavia to the east, Starblaydia to the north, along with Krytenia further along the Bekkside. It has a proud history of participating in World Cups, dating back to World Cup 18, and hitting their high water mark in World Cup 69, finishing fourth. Legalese has also hosted two World Cups (22 and 68), along with a number of Cups of Harmony and Baptisms of Fire. It’s been awhile, but as Legalese embarks on Project Legacy, the Federation and the Civil Service hope to put their best foot forward in welcoming the nations of Group 7 for qualifying.

The Eleven/Playing Style
The lineup is flexible, but the closer to 1, the more likely a player is to start/see some time.

Home Pitch
Legalese will use a rotation of stadia for qualifying, including:

National Stadium, Legalese City
It has seen much: the rise of the National Team, the lull and stagnancy,
the resurgence, and the fall again, but still it stands for Project Legacy. Located in the nation's capital, National Stadium
generally serves as the primary stadium for the Federation's national team,
as well as the home pitch for National League side LC Capitals. It is an
all-seater, with a capacity of 83,068 through the three tiers of seating, as
well as a bank of 20 private boxes, and is known to rattle and sway with the
noise and stomping of the crowd. Will likely be saved for only one or two matches in total.

Shoreline Park, Spetz-Tessah
Built roughly five years ago in the slightly-newer city of Spetz-Tessa, Shoreline Park seats 45,328, with a single-tiered Oceanside Stand along one touchline (containing the press and coach/executive bottles), connected to the double-tiered Sunset End. The larger Cityside Stand on the opposite touchline is also double-tiered, with reports of further growth coming. The Sunrise End is disconnected from the others, giving a window to the ocean -- the angular nature of the layout makes this possible -- and is a single tier with a large scoreboard behind it.

Coastal Pitch - Sagdineo
Located on the southern shores of Lake Bekk, Coastal Pitch isthe home of National League side Coastal United, an entity formed out of the partnership between Coastal University, and former semipro side Bekknia Athletic. The most notable feature is the lower bowl, which holds two-thirds of the stadium’s 67,982 seats, making it the largest lower level in Legalese; as well as an upper deck oriented on the eastern and southern sides of the stadium, giving those at the very top a view of the mighty Bekk.

Sajnuran National Football Team

Stadiums

National Stadium

The National Stadium is the largest stadium in Sajnur, with a capacity of 102,000 people. Located in the capital city of Javoser, home to more than 12.5 million people, it is the primary arena for big sporting events in the country, hosting a semi-final and most finals of Sajnur’s FA Cup, and several finals of the Tarvolan League, tarvolan being a code of football indigenous to Sajnur and traditionally Sajnur’s biggest sport. It has also hosted the biggest of Sajnur’s concerts and the inaugurations of two Presidents.

Built in 1952 and renovated in 2015, the stadium has a retractable roof, air conditioning, free Wi-Fi, and affordable food and drink options to provide a comfortable experience for all fans while the stadium has been designed to allow fans to produce a raucous atmosphere befitting of large sporting events. The stadium is easily accessible by public transport, and has thousands of parking spaces for those who choose to arrive in their own vehicles.

Niurka Stadium

Home of FK Khadur, arguably Sajnur’s biggest football club, Niurka Stadium is located in the Khadur area of Ciarkhan, a bustling metropolis of 4.6 million people that serves as Laghia’s state capital. Laghia was a territory acquired by Sajnur in a war stretching from 1982 to 1996, and it is the Laghian people that popularised football in Sajnur. As a result, the province has eight of Sajnur’s 32 professional football clubs despite having only 1/8 of the country’s population, and Niurka Stadium hosts the other semi-final and some finals of Sajnur’s FA Cup.

The stadium, built in 2006, was named after Nicolae Niurka, who was a Laghian partisan that served as a general against Laghia’s pre-1982 rulers and was killed in combat in 1995, aged just 46. With a capacity of 73,000, it is the largest stadium used by a team in the Sajnuran Premier League. Like the National Stadium, it has a retractable roof, air conditioning, free Wi-Fi, and plenty of affordable food and drink options, with many food options being traditional to Laghia. The stadium is easily accessible by public transport, but parking space may be limited on particularly busy days.

Queen Haqla Stadium

Queen Haqla Stadium is a 60,000 seat stadium near the centre of Roskjepa, the capital of Delta state and, with 6.7 million people, the second largest in Sajnur. Home to Rivers FC, the stadium is a regular venue for intimidating displays from Rivers fans, with flares, aggressive chanting, and large banners being a common sight, especially in derbies between Rivers and cross-town rivals Stormers FC.

The stadium was built in 1960 and renovated in 2016, and has all the amenities of the National and Niurka stadiums, while being a prominent sight on the Jagaroi River. As such, along with bus and train, the stadium is also accessible by the Jagaroi River’s ferry. However, like in Ciarkhan, access by car may be difficult. Queen Haqla, for whom the stadium is named, reigned over Sajnur from 681 to her death in 727.

Siyaka Island Stadium

Siyaka Island Stadium is the largest stadium in the Asulian states, with 66,000 people able to fit within its confines. Located in the outskirts of Tawqush, a city of about 5.4 million serving as the capital of Archipelago state, the stadium is the home of FC Mazigh, the foremost football club in the Asulian states. Fans on Siyaka Island often bring instruments to matches, ranging from the arghul to large drums to even accordions, posing both as support to those they like and a distraction for those who they wish to lose.

The stadium is the newest of the four national stadiums, being built in 2017 on what was the Mujar port before it was bombed by the Sajnuran navy during a war that stretched from 1990-2003. The stadium is easily accessible by both car and public transport, and with the New Mujar port being built as part of the stadium development, coastal and island hopping ferries can also stop right outside the stadium.

Players in bold are default starters. Other players can be substituted whenever necessary.

Head Coach and Playing Style
Following the poor performance in last World Cup Qualifiers, the GIFC appointed Poafmer Zahi Castillias to the hot seat, becoming the sole manager of the combined national team. Castillias is a former pundit for the Poafmersia Broadcasting Corporation, who left his job as the manager of the Poafmersian club Mancodas City after a poor title defence. He led Mancodas City to the PFPL title during their inaugural season, before leaving in the second season after a failed title defence, but not before leading the team to the FFI LdV semi-finals. Castillias took a 1 year sabbatical before becoming a pundit at the Poafmersia Broadcasting Corporation, and is happy to return to a managerial role for The Gothanita Isles.

The manager understands the style of football in TGI is slightly different from that in Poafmersia, so he choses to play a balanced possession-based football style for the team. The team is now more tactically flexible and willing to push forward whenever necessary, instead of relying on counter-attacks as the only source of goals.

Style Modifier: -0.186
Formation: 4-2-3-1 (default); 4-4-2 diamond, 4-3-3 (alternate)

I give my opponents permission to do the following for their RPs:
- Choose my starting lineup, goalscorers, substitutes. This must be done in reference to the details provided in pre-match RPs/main roster, such as the 11 starters listed above, and the players' styles.
- Godmod any scoring events, subject to these events being realistic. (Eg. Long range balls from midpoint line/goalkeeper line is allowed, RPing a fast ball boy that allowed for the corner to take place amid chaos is allowed, but something like having a pigeon swoop down from the sky to push a ball in is not allowed. Go through with me what you plan and I may easily accept it.)
- RP or Godmod injuries to my players. These injuries can occur inside or outside the match, however, you only RP what happened. (Do TG me so that I will take notice, especially for godmodded ones.) The extent of injuries, as well as the duration of the player being out, is decided by me.
- Hand out yellow and red cards to my players. However, the number of red cards can only be 1 more than the number of red cards you give your own players.
- RP or Godmod any other events, with the exception of any pandemic-related events. No pandemic in my nation, no pandemic on my players. Do TG me if you wish to let me know of any other events you plan to RP, and I am willing to cooperate if necessary.

SQUADRA NAZIONALE DI JUVENCUS

Information about Juvencus:
Capital: Pomena
Population: 130,656,702
Demonym: Juven
Country Code: JUE
Football Association: JFA(Juven Football Association)
Nicknames: Gli attaccanti(The attackers), La squadra(The team)
Football philosophy: Football in Juvencus has always been traditionally defensive, with a major focus towards sticking together on the backlines and creating fast counter-attacks whenever possible. On the international level, AC Pomena's style dubbed "il Pomenienze" was brought over to the team by legendary coach August Toset. Il Pomenienze focused on enhancing the offensive aspect of the previous plays, forgetting the term defense with a high line and creating pressure as well as bombarding the opposing side in hopes of scoring. More contemporary managers have seen the flaws in that strategy and have decided on a more balanced approach of effective attacking or counterattacking while maintaining a disciplined high defensive line.

Starting XI:

GK:Taddeo Bulgari(Age 33)(Picgliara Calcio)
Description: Bulgari's career in faraway Togonistan has been a mystery to many. Legends of great leaps and leading the team with or without the captain's badge is what always served the goalkeeper his first team spot all 11 cycles in the modern history of the country.

CB:Carlo Callejon(Age 23)(Wirr Tsi

)
Description: Callejon is quite hot-headed as a person and even more so as a player which leads to him getting in a lot of quarrels with opposing players. Though not a tall or particularly physical player(being 183cm tall), under normal circumstances his positioning, speed and tackling ability have always been the attributes to look out when it comes to him. He has an impressive influence on the team, especially under pressure.

CB:Pau Puig(Age 20)(AC Serone)
Description: With Bassi's sudden disappearance, Puig is given a starting role. A non-traditional Juven defender, being tall, bulky and relatively slow, although keeping to the perfect positioning scheme of the team, Puig is the brick wall of la squadra and it is almost impossible to get through him, especially in strength and header battles.

CB:Izotz Ibarra(Age 30)(AC Pomena)
Description: The oldest player in the backline, Ibarra will certainly be giving guidance to his teammates as they approach their own peaks. He has all the traits of a traditional Juven defender, those being perfect positioning, speed and incredible tackling ability, however one thing also adds up and this is his vision and expert clearances of the ball. Most of said clearances lead to counter-attacks and goals.

CDM:Nino Russo(Age 33)(Hepley United

)(Second Captain)
Description: The major, yet hidden, playmaker of the team. Russo has always dictated the speed and pace on which the team resume play, whether it is to play possessively or bring a quick counter-attack. His vision, crossing ability and great ball-control have always been staple elements that affected the team's play as a whole.

CDM:Pierre-Didier Kouyaté(Age 23)(U.S Scudelli)
Description: The half Banijan mastermind of the team, Kouyaté has always been dubbed as the successor of Russo. Much like him, he might dictate the speed and pace of la squadra's playing, with an excellent vision and brilliant passing ability to show for it. He can also fulfill the duties of a supplementary defender, as he possesses iron lungs and can move freely all around the pitch.

RM:Júlien Cantù(Age 28)(Bul Khungur Miners FC

)
Description: Cantù has always been the orchistrator of right wing offenses, an accurate passer and pretty alright dribbler, he sticks to the sidelines most of the time. Might give that cheeky unexpected assist from out of nowhere.

LM:Michelangelo Santini(Age 25)(Baraldhur AFC

)
Description: When we say Santini is fast, we mean it(people and especially atheletes from Juvencus are naturally faster than the average human or humanoid species). He can run the entire pitch in 9 and a half seconds with no sweat, but what really stands out is essentially his playmaking from the left side, with tons of crosses or through-balls to instigate plenty of attacks and usually delivers a lot of much-needed assists while at it.

LF:Joaquim Martell(Age 34)(Ausharmuj Marusi

)(Captain)
Description: Though old, Martell's goalscoring touch has not really faded, still being able to score all types of goals, from headers, to volleys, to freekicks and penalties, this man can do it all and will always lead the team forward using his masterful experience. Apart from that, he is also exceptional at finding tight holes in opposing defences that he can exploit for the benefit of his teammates, leading to him being involved in most goals the team scores.

RF:Patxi Etxeberria(Age 29)(AC Pomena)
Description: While Etxeberria is quite the poacher in AC Pomena, always with the back at goal and in beneficial positions, his playing on international stage is that of a free winger, allowing him to mostly provide rather than score goals. However, when he does score goals, they are always at an important time of the match, whether to get the team to the next stage of a competition or provide a much-needed victory.

CF:Julio Campana(Age 20)(New Lakeland Soccer Club

)
Description: Campana is an exceptionally fast learner and an even better goalscorer. His magic touch always has the ball inside the opposing team's net, with them having to pick it up. A strong right foot, he usually scores rockets from long distance and prefers to use his weaker left foot for chips and close-range shooting.

Main Substitutions:

GK:Marchisio De Pesca(Age 25)(AC Picilia)
Description: De Pesca's got leaps for days and incredibly quick, cat-like reflexes, he is the perfect substitution for Bulgari and perhaps might be replacing him as the cycle goes forward.

CB:Sebastian Solano(Age 24)(Odiol Vinceti)
Description: Solano is used to playing in defensive setups due to playing for Vinceti, using his positioning advantadge as well as the extra hidden Odiol Vinceti defensive tricks up his sleeve.

CB:Leandro Domingues(Age 22)(S.S.C Tipoli)
CDM:Josefina Portieri(Age 20)(Tihon

)

CDM:Félix Sissoko(Age 20)(Kingston FC

)
Description: When in need, call Sissoko. Sissoko can instigate attacks out of thin air with a simple cross, or just a pass. His vision allows him to be always updated on the game. Though not particularly endurant, he makes up for it by being put in his place and playing his game.

RM:Chimo Quaranta(Age 22)(AC Serone)
RM:Simon Oliveira(Age 20)(FC Tiscan)
LM:Lucien Cavallo(Age 23)(AC Pomena)

LM:Tore Christian(Age 27)(Union Juven

)
Description: Christian might be a left midfielder, but he always pushes so far up he might be confused for a winger. Another speedy player and a great goalscorer.

LF:Martin Rocher(Age 30)(S.S.C Tipoli)

LF:Ganymede Garcia(Age 22)(Mipojoseon

)
Description: Garcia is a big game player right off the bat, he will score that one random header or tap-in when you least expect it, however he is a clinical finisher regardless.

RF:Joao Pereyra(Age 21)(U.S Remeno)
Description: A very technical player, with the ball always stuck on his feet no matter how many people you dump on him. An exceptional dribbler, clinical finisher and a provider. He is a gem, the most complete player and with some adjustments could even be a galactico.

RF:Matias Nespoli(Age 24)(Porcara FC)

CF:Santo Silvestri(Age 29)(Port Tacassam FC

)
Description: Silvestri has always been the team's main scorer in the frontlines but a recent fall from grace has costed him his position while he tries to regain his strong finishing ability.

CF:Brunella Tafani(Age 29)(AC Picilia)

Reserves:
GK:Juan Carlos Ungaro(Age 20)(U.S Scudelli)
GK:Iago Asputti(Age 21)(AS Aguajú)
CB:Lucia Agnelli(Age 19)(Victoriaville City

)
CB:Carlos Coste(Age 19)(FC Tiscan)
CDM:Giuseppe Conte(Age 21)(AC Serone)
RM:Ekain Zuñiga(Age 29)(AS Aguajú)
LM:Pietro Alberte(Age 21)(U.S Remeno)
LF:Edu Coste(Age 20)(AC Pomena)
RF:Maria Zambrotta(Age 21)(FC Herone)
CF:Giordano Limene(Age 24)(Stanmorn FC

)
CF:Paulo Castelli(Age 26)(AC Pomena)

Main formation:

Staff:
Main Coach:Dudu Madeiros
Assistant Coach:Calixto Conti
Assistant Coach:Sebastian Galletti
Team Doctor:Carlo Micheli
Team Physician:Mathis Rotolo

Roster comments & tactics:
Dudu Madeiros experimented with a mostly young and inexperienced roster during the Independent Associations Cup, which did not bear fruit coming into the competition. It might have been the pressure of the stage, or the typical Independent Associations Cup cursed that has always been following the team around. With everything behind now, Madeiros decided to take a deep look to foreign associations and reorganised the team so some thorns would not be in the way of the rest, starting lineup players would get to the bench and a lot more players would get playtime. With this change, he introduced a system of reserves so instead of dragging 30 or more players along every trip, he should be having a stable number of around 23 to 25 players with him on each visit.

The tactics will not change all too much, a 3-4-3 system which is flexible enough to become a 5-3-2 or a 3-2-5 at any moment, with fluid movement on each players' side of the pitch. Attacking will be mainly focused through crosses in the middle, while through balls and volleys will be used from the side, with an emphasis on being quick-footed and agile, a rotations as such may be comfortable for both starters and substitutions. Defending will be given more emphasis on positioning at the right place at the right time and by thinking ahead. Speed is la squadra's best friend and by using this system, Madeiros is trying to take the best out of every single player.

Choose my goalscorers: Yes
Godmod scoring events: No
RP injuries to my players: Yes, light ones only

Al Qurija National Team

Information about Al Qurija:
Capital: Al Qurija
Population: 18,856,627
Demonym: Qurijan
Country Code: QRJ
Football Association: QFF (Qurijan Football Federation)
Nicknames: The broken, the secret champs
Football philosophy: A majority Arabic, yet very multicultural nation and an important trading outpost throught history, it has seen many people and influences from all around Sonnel and the multiverse. With a lot of Juven immigrants, their style of play has been inspired by the older style of Juven football which focuses on a concrete defence and an effective attack instead of bombarding the opposing side with chances. But with the local Slavic, Guarani as well as Korean minorities giving their own touch to the game, Al Qurija has a flavor of football that's pretty much unprecedented by most sides and it worked wonders in their Baptism of Fire campaign. (On which they finished 4th!)

Starting XI:
GK:Mahmud Maksimovic(Age 27)(Internazionale Serone)
CB:Ayoub Najm(Age 22)(AC Herona)
CB:Stojko Popovski(Age 31)(Porcara FC)(Captain)
RB:Jun Abdulrashid(Age 35)(FC Demena)

RF:Seokjin Kang(Age 31)(AS Odiol Vorona)

LM:Shareef Karimi(Age 23)(Porcara FC)
RF:Ali Shaqiri(Age 22)(AC Herona)
LF:Nursultan Dimitrov(Age 25)(FC Tiscan)
CF:Ismail Nikolovski(Age 22)(Union Juven)

Roster comments: With the internationalisation of the Juven Campionato, a number of professional Qurijans now call a few of the teams in the league their home. Affected by the way the campionato is being played, they might try to immitate the different styles of most teams, with an emphasis on the classic brick wall and clinical finishing approach. Fast players do exist in the frontlines, with Gonzalez and Krstevski on the left side of the pitch, while the right side is more of a mediating side to calm down the playing of the team. Talented striker Modevideo Carpi will most likely be the one to try to finish most attempts at scoring a goal, with Gonzalez and Kang being supplementary goal scorers with a main focus on assisting him. On the backlines there's a sweet balance between youth and experience, with captain Popovski directing the brick wall depending on what attacks they face, while youthful and bulky Najm can be a wall on his own, the side defenders will use their athleticism to stop any incoming offensives from the side. Overall their experience on the Campionato should serve them well when facing competition in the world cup qualifiers. As for this return's focus, the team will focus on getting as high as possible in the table and possibly get invited for the Cup of Harmony for extra experience. Silverware is secondary for the time being as working as a team will get a lot more gravity. No changes to the tactics, Porras seems to trust the lads with his life.

Turori National Team

Head Coach: Tarek Edgeli
After spending 3 seasons being trained in Crosaibi at Marine Coast United, Edgeli made the switch down the coast to the Lonngeylin Coliseum for Season 43. While Strike were unable to win any silverware, Edgeli fit straight into the squad as one of the top performing defenders in the entire league earning instant plaudits and recognition back in Turori. Edgeli would be an ever-present in the Turorian squad earning the role of captain as the team advanced to the World Cup Semi Finals for the first time in the nations history at World Cup 81 in the Free Republics and Banija. After a long absence from regional competition, Edgeli, retired from the Turori National Team, would captain the Vilita and Turori National Team during the 60th AOCAF Competition. After working with the Vilita & Turori National Team for two campaigns including the Olympic Games, Edgeli took on the role of head coach for the Turori National Team during the Eagle’s Cup XIX Competition and after leading the team to a Bronze Medal in the first attempt, returned to coach the team again during Eagle's Cup X. While Edgeli's Eel's came up just short again, earning their second consecutive Bronze Medal, the performance was enough to convince the Football Association of Turori that Edgeli was their coach of the future; relieving long time coach Klailall Tuirma of the Head Coaching duties by promoting Tuirma to the role as Competition Director of the Football Association of Turori while assigning Edgeli to the role of Turori National Team Manager for the World Cup 88 Cycle.

Nickname: The Eels

Style: -1.23

The coaches will select the squad from the National Player pool. Players are listed below, grouped by position and sorted by projection 'Depth Chart' position where the top player listed is most likely to be named the first player selected for that position, and so on. Depth chart positions are determined by performance in pre-cup training sessions, as well as performance and average ratings in the Vilitan League competition and previous appearances for the National Team.

The Football Association of Vilita is based at the Tivali-Ring Stadium (87,000 Seating Capacity) in the capital city of Alikki-Corra, Vilita and many National Team training sessions take place on the grounds of the Tivali-Ring. The Tivali-Ring complex was constructed as part of the Vilitan bid to host the World Cup 14 Cup of Harmony as a replacement to the former National Stadium in Lopinka that was destroyed during a regional conflict. 'The Ring' has since hosted countless international matches including high profile matches such as the World Cup 31 Final and the 40th Series 'B' Champions Cup Final.

Despite being based at the Ring, The Football Association of Vilita regularly schedule matches at arenas throughout Vilita, especially bigger matches as many of the stadiums that host Stellar Division and UICA competition matches have expanded far beyond the 87,000 capacity of the National Stadium at Tivali-Ring, which is used only for the National Team, and, domestically for the Vilitan Cup Final and Tropical Trophy matchups.

Limu Katarakhna came through the academy system at Colonial Sile and impressed greatly upon making their debut midway through Season 54. After Colonial Sile failed to qualify for UICA competition in Season 56, the young athlete able to step in anywhere on the field made the switch to Eastal Lunar FC.

F C ( AGE: 36 :: [ NT CAPS: 96 :: NT GOALS: 30 ] :: [ V&T CAPS: 6 :: V&T GOALS: 4 ] )
TROPHIES :: [ : World Cup 77 : World Cup 81 : World Cup 82 : ][ : Olympic Gold Medal : ] : Vilitan Cup : Vilitan Declasse :
After being trained and promoted to the Main Squad at Marine Coast United, Blikala put in 4 seasons and netted 36 goals before the allure of the Stellar Division called, switching to Makosile United during Season 53 and scoring 11 goals in their debut season. Blikala scored 31 goals in three seasons with the Makos but when the former champions were relegated after Season 55, Blikala left the club and re-joined Marine Coast United. Blikala had a breakout campaign with the Vilitan National Team during World Cup 80 Qualifying, scoring 6 goals in 9 matches to lead all Vilitan players. Was a member of World Cup 81 and World Cup 82 winning sides scoring once in both Finals campaigns. Blikala scored their first career World Cup Finals hattrack on Matchday 3 of the World Cup 83 Group stage against The Macabees with all three goals coming less than 10 minutes apart late in the match.

Berali Tzufarei [ - Rammsissil - ]
F C ( AGE: 41 :: [ NT CAPS: 127 :: NT GOALS: 60 ] :: [ V&T CAPS: 1 :: V&T GOALS: 0 ] )
TROPHIES :: [ : World Cup 77 : World Cup 81 : World Cup 82 : ] : Vilitan Cove Invitational : : Vilitan Cup : Vilitan Declasse : Tropical Trophy :
Tzufarei made their debut for the Vilita National Team at the Eagle's Cup V tournament. Tzufarei was a loyal Eastal Lunar FC player for the majority of their playing career and became the second highest goalscorer in club history behind Astronauts legend Mauro Baraza. Tzufarei's goalscoring prowess has made them a fan-favorite in Seraai and has also earned the forward the Stellar Division's Golden boot award for three straight seasons from Season 53-55. The arrival of younger talent in Nuola Brenzil and Nii'arala Milaaso during Season 56 however encouraged Tzufarei to seek a new challenge, landing in the Declasse with Rammsissil and becoming the Golden Boot winner while propelling the Ramms to the Declasse Title. Tzufarei re-claimed the Vilitan Stellar Division's Golden Boot award during Season 57 helping Rammsissil to a 5th place finish in the table. The long-time Vilita National Team striker secured their post-career statue at SissilBank by lifting the club to their first ever major Silverware in the 63rd Vilitan Cup Final. Tzufarei scored the opening goal in the Ramms 4-1 victory over Eastal Lunar.

Tactics

Empress Masumi Stadium at night

The Kandorese team is looking to play a more aggressive football and rely a lot on quick, successive passes and counters. But, when in doubt the team will hold back to eventually mount a mass assault from the midfield positions. The midfield and attack are the engine of the team; this is where the most important and strongest players control the entire play. The strikers for Kandorith are something different, the team has no traditional style strikers but rather extremely fast and pacey runners; who will take their opportunity to run at the goal at any chance they get; while the midfield will close down the area behind them to ensure the team's dominance on the opponent's half.

The midfield is not only the engine behind the team, but also very capable at scoring goals. The forward three players are two wingers and a central forward who mostly plays the role of a false-9 rather than the traditional striker position, who are supported by a capable and pacey midfielders who all have a talent for finishing. In defence the Kandorese team is cautious and pressure absorbing. The entire team will do their very best to tire out opponents and strike when they are off-balanced with quick and long passes the Kandorese defence can switch to a full-out offence and get the ball in the opponent's half within a few effective passes. The Kandorese team has no real set position but plays an adaptive 4-3-3, which can transform to a 5-3-2 with ease because of the midfield being capable of joining the defence when needed. In a full out attack however, the Kandorese team will have the defence joining the attack with only three players staying behind to cover the back. Furthermore: the team plays a high defensive line with constant high pressure.

The home stadium for the Kandorese National Team is the Empress Masumi National Stadium, named after the current Empress in honour of her coronation. The rather new stadium is designed as a multi-purpose sports complex with the possibility of completely changing the venue's layout for almost any sport. When the stadium is not used for sports the large complex is used to host concerts, large events and even traditional markets. The Stadium is the home of the Kandorese first division team FC Tenkyo who are one of the "big four" teams of the nation. With a total capacity during football matches of 90,000 attendants the stadium is a symbol for a new era of the Kandorese nation and its people.

Team Personality
The Darmeni team will never argue with the referee. Indeed, if anything needs to be brought to the attention of the referee it will be done by either the Captain or Vice-Captain in a respectful manner (or to the fourth-official by the Manager). With regards to foul/dirty play, the Darmeni team will not provoke, or retaliate against any opposition player. Darmeni's expect each team to keep to itself and deal with its own trouble makers; any opposition player who attempts to prevent a conflict by pushing or pulling a Darmeni away from the scene will be promptly told off, as that is the duty of the Darmeni Captain.

Nonetheless, Darmen will play in a relatively aggressive manner. Tackles will be conducted in a way which ensures the opponent ends up on the ground, but causing injury will be avoided as much as possible. On set pieces, Darmenis will stand their ground and will not be easily pushed around, they will not however engage in hugging. In fact, if any opposing player tries to push past them, it is not uncommon for the Darmeni player to feign resistance before simply stepping aside and watching as the opposing player stumbles past on their way to ground. This occasionally backfires however, as the referee may mistake the incidence as having been a foul in the box.

South Newlandian Roster for the 88th World Cup Qualifiers (in time)

It’d all gone by in a flash. Two years ago, South Newlandia had qualified, the biggest sporting success of the nation until that point. A year ago, they’d managed to win a game in Taeshan, travelling home with their heads up high. After the cup, they found themselves in 31st on the rankings, a solid mid-pot 2 position. Certainly good enough to try to get back to the big dance, to be held in Cassadaigua and Chromatika this time. However, it would not be easy. The Qualifying remains a brutal battlefield, and nearly 5 out of 6 nations will have to watch the World cup from their couches.

Complete squad for South Newlandia

Coaching team

Head Coach: Robert Wolverine (49) (has coached 85 WCC-games)
Assistant Coach: Todd Ingolffson (65)
Goalkeeper Coach: Matthias Boyle (45)
Athletic Coach: Josef Salazar (30)
Wolverine has coached this team from the very beginning, and he is bringing the old reliable 4-4-2 diamond back. Both Boyle and Salazar are entering their third qualifying campaign as well. Ingolffson is a bit newer; he’d replaced Michael White when White took over as head coach in Kohnhead.

Starters: [all data referring to WCC-games]

GK: Mikhail Trischuk (30 years old) (79 matches played, 96 conceded goals, 0 assists) Libertas Bergheim (Savojarna) CAPTAIN
Mikhail Trischuk is the captain of the team, and he is one of the most important reasons the team is where they are today. His numerous saves have helped the team countless times, and his abilities as a captain are also in high regard. At 30, his career might already be past its peak, but there is no reason why he shouldn’t be playing for a few more years at least. On good days, he can frustrate entire offenses, on bad ones; he might take four or five goals. He moved to Libertas Bergheim from the Rhinos a bit ago, and has established himself in one of the top goalkeepers in one of the best leagues of the multiverse. He is considered one of the key players of the team, and had a big part in the successful last campaign.

LB: Dhruv Roy (28 years old) (74 matches played, 7 scored goals, 9 assists) Crossroads (Chromatika)
Dhruv Roy can often be found in the opponents half. Especially after corners, his heading abilities can be dangerous. His long passes are also strong, but when it comes to pure defending against strong opponents, he isn’t as useful. He is the tallest among the field players, and his stays in the opponent’s box sometimes make the team vulnerable to counter-attacks. There is no real fight over the position, so Roy enjoys plenty of starts; but that might change with Nguyen joining the team. Roy played a strong season in Chromatika, and is at the peak of his career. He is also considered one of the key players of the team.

made by Tikariot

LCB: Tommy Anderson (25 years old) (68 matches played, 0 scored goals, 3 assists) Couziers-Olympiques (Ko-oren)
Tommy Anderson has been part of the squad since the Baptism of Fire, and bounced back and forth between the first eleven and the bench. He absolutely is a pure defender,
rarely sighted in the opponents half. Anderson profited off Schroeder’s injury to get a lot of minutes in the qualifiers for World Cup 86, and has taken his spot since.
He moved to Ko-oren last season to establish himself further.

RCB: Philip Gurero (26 years old) (31 matches played, 3 goals, 4 assists) Kohnhead City FC (Kohnhead)
Gurero is another skilled defender, providing flexibility for the Elephants. Very good results in Kohnhead have brought him into the roster for the qualifiers again, and has earned him a starting spot. Kohnhead City was willing to put up lots of money for him, and he’s worth that. He is dangerous with headers, and shouldn’t be underestimated, but his relative inexperience is a weakness for him.

RB: Filip Barker (27 years old) (21 matches played, 2 scored goals, 4 assists) Cranequin Wanderers (Nephara)
Barker has been the big surprise Wolverine had in store for us. After bouncing around the multiverse for a few years, he had a breakout season in Tikariot for Ysgrann Bay. Despite them going down, he landed a new job in one of the most prestigious league systems of the multiverse, and probably of all time, in joining the Cranequin Wanderers. Barker, who has never started in a match for the Elephants except for a few games at the recent Campionato Esportiva, started at his position right away, and played all 21 games in his first cycles, helping to fix the right side and playing a key role to get South Newlandia to the World Cup. In Tikariot and Nephara, he established himself as a good player, able to hold his side well, even though he has had some problems with red cards on occasions.

DM: Brian Lowe (25 years old) (0 matches played) Valley Wanderers, South Newlandia
If you’re wondering how that is, you probably know your way around South Newlandian soccer. Lowe has been fighting for this his entire career, and after some games in the Campionato, Wolverine made the bold call to promote him to start for the national team. Lowe, although not gifted with elite talent, has stuck with the Wanderers for almost a decade, and he does have some strengths, with his ability to stay calm and manage a game. However, this quick rise may be getting to his head.

LM: Corban Green (23 years old) (58 matches played, 4 scored goals, 22 assists) Rockridge Phoenix (Brenecia) CORNERS
Corban Green remains one of the younger players on the team, but his lack of experience is made up with fantastic amounts of talent. His shot isn’t as dangerous, while his flanks and corners are among the strongest ones in the country. Due to problems with his knee, he frequently missed games, but he seems to be fit right now. Hopefully, he can stay healthy, but every light touch to his leg might side-line him for months. Recently, he hasn’t gotten the results he wanted, but he might be able to bounce back, even with two bench players eyeing his position. After some frustrating seasons with the crumbling Jecken Newport, he was sold for big money into Brenecia. If he can stay healthy, he is one of the best players of this team.

RM: Patrick McMora (26 years old) (82 matches played, 10 scored goals, 20 assists) Walstreim Lions (South Newlandia)
Patrick McMora is the player with the most matches for South Newlandia, currently, and with good reason. His passes and flanks can be deadly, and while he doesn’t score a lot of goals, he is capable of doing that too. He is one of the players that might be the captain eventually, and he will assume the role of vice-captain again. The proud Walstreim Lion has helped the team a ton during its early days, and remains a valuable starter for South Newlandia.

OM: Finnley Wallis (28 years old) (73 matches played, 22 scored goals, 12 assists) Taeshan City Miners (Taeshan) FREE KICKS
Finnley Wallis is one of the most important players of the team. Depending on the situation, he can act as a third striker or even help out in defense. He debuted in the Baptism of Fire, and he is also responsible for free kicks. At 28 years, Wallis is well in his strongest years, and needs to be defended well. After a decade with the Royals, he moved to play in Taeshan, and had a solid, but barely noteworthy season there. In a league ranked as high as the Taeshan Premier League, that is more than enough to return to the starting job for the Elephants.

ST: Bjorn Cohen (23 years old) (43 matches played, 13 scored goals, 7 assists) Jecken Newport (South Newlandia)
Cohen is another of those frequently injured players, but he is a fantastic prospect when he’s fit. That’s rarely enough, but at the moment, both legs seem to be fine. He played most of the games in the last campaign, and clearly impressed Taeshani scouts.

ST: Brandon Irving (25 years old) (69 matches played, 30 scored goals, 12 assists) Barnley FC (Kohnhead)
Brandon Irving was already part of the squad during the Baptism of Fire, and leads the team in goals at 30 scored goals. Despite his talent, he is largely inconsistent. If he plays well, Irving is hard to stop, and the best player in the squad, the shooting star of the team; he has played many legendary games. Despite being initially benched in the last campaign, he ultimately led the team to the World Cup, and scored two goals there. In Barnley, he took on a more assist-focused role, but he’ll probably be back to scoring here.

Substitutes:

GK: Rufus Rigby (24 years old) (8 matches played, 8 conceded goals, 0 assists) Barnley FC (Kohnhead)
Rufus Rigby usually is the main replacement for Mikhail Trischuk. He debuted in the Baptism of Fire, and experience is the only thing separating him from Trischuk. He had some chances to prove himself recently, like in the Campionato Esportiva, but he will be back to the bench for now because the results weren’t exactly ideal, and Trischuk is a very capable goalkeeper. He finally moved on from the Guards and will join the Kohnheadian team Barnley FC, where Brandon Irving also plays.

GK: Olly Evans (24 years old) (0 matches played) Korsbach (Græntfjall)
Evans is called up to the roster for the first time. After some years spent in Kohnhead, seemingly a fantastic spot for South Newlandian talent, he joined Korsbach. Being the third keeper doesn’t exactly guarantee a lot of playing time, but he’ll be there in emergencies.

LB: Archer Nguyen (22 years old) (5 matches played, 0 scored goals, 1 assist) Ancarea FC (Tikariot)
Nguyen joined Ancarea as a free agent after bouncing around the South Newlandian leagues for a while, played some really solid seasons there, and ended up on the roster. The smart and talented defender is eyeing up Roy’s spot, and he may indeed be a viable alternative.

CB: Mike Sloah (26 years old) (24 matches played, 0 scored goals, 0 assists) Ituraitz FC (Astograth)
Sloah is one of the less experienced members of the national team, but a move to Astograth has really sparked his career. He proved himself as a very solid defender with a great eye for the game, able to spot things practically before they happen. He was only really discovered as a big talent late in his career after kicking the ball in the second tier of South Newlandia for a few years, and he’s looking to make up for that now. He started in the last campaign, and has been moved to the bench for now. He’ll likely get plenty of playing time.

CB: Sean Wu (20 years old) (0 matches played) Birmingham United FC (Murphtannia)
Sean Wu is playing for the national team for the first time, having impressed in the Murphtannian Premier League. He still has room to grow, but he could very well be the next great South Newlandian defender with his play-vision and excellent work ethic. He will probably see the field in this tournament to have his national team debut.

RB: Gustafe Wright (31 years old) (36 match played, 1 scored goal, 2 assists) GCCFC (Northwest Kalactin)
Robert Wolverine likes using experienced and pure defenders, and Wright is both at once. The man now playing in Northwest Kalactin, where he delivered a solid season, was quite disappointed to get benched for Barker, and will fight back for his spot.

DM: Kevin Mohamed (24 years old) (70 matches played, 4 scored goals, 4 assists) Nagelti Rovers (Jeckland)
Kevin Mohamed is the player in Defensive Midfield for the team. While he isn’t the strongest player on the position, South Newlandia lacks viable alternatives. He is a solid defender, but he isn’t great at developing and starting plays for the offense, often slowing things down. Wolverine was quite lucky to find Mohamed, considering his club and the affiliated country are currently nowhere to be found; this lack of recent play is what put him on the bench.

LM: Donald Lancaster (22 years old) (40 matches played, 3 scored goals, 3 assists) Walstreim Lions (South Newlandia)
Donald Lancaster is one of the players that already played for the Elephants during the Baptism of Fire, has been the main replacement for Corban Green since about forever. He will have to fight to get past Green, but after two good seasons for the Lions, he might be closer than ever.

RM: Marcus Young (22 years old) (5 matches played, 1 scored goal, 2 assists) Avenida Leal (Farfadillis)
Young has made a massive jump with a move to Avenida Leal in Farfadillis, and has earned himself a spot in the qualifiers as well. At 22, he might be the future on his position for the Elephants.

OM: Abdurahman Bishop (25 years old) (35 matches played, 3 scored goals, 3 assists) Yenvil Town FC (Taeshan)
Abdurahman Bishop is definitely the second option for the position, and will probably surpass Wallis eventually, just not now. Currently, he is often subbed in as an offensive alternative. He is better at working defensively, but just doesn’t create as much pressure offsensively.

ST: Michael Glossman (28 years old) (25 matches played, 3 scored goals, 1 assists) Admiral Storevik (Savojarna)
Glossman had some bad seasons recently, and hasn’t been able to find his old form. He may very well be on his way out after a bad last cycle, two bad seasons with Kinjestad Soccer, who sold him to the Vilhardy Owls, where he racked up as many red cards as goals. A move to Savojarna seems to have helped at least a bit.

ST: Simon McCabe (33 years old) (59 matches played, 18 scored goals, 6 assists) Folte (Græntfjall)
At 33 years old, he may already be past his strongest days, but he is a force to be dealt with. He still has a fantastic strong shot and a good read on goalkeepers, but his age sometimes leads him to being too slow or making some easier mistakes now and then. Everyone thought he was on the way out, but he fought back with a great season at his new club, Folte. This position will likely see a lot of rotation, with four strikers that all play roughly on the same level.

Reserves (not part of the 23-man roster)

GK: Li Braveheart (27 years old) (0 matches played) Marinos Thimpodopoulos (Abanhfleft)
LB: Jet McBride (23 years old) (0 matches played) Omnio (Chromatika)
CB: Andre Hall (22 years old) (4 matches played, 0 scored goals, 0 assists) Ratzupalfu Rhinos (South Newlandia)
CB: Karl Meyer (27 years old) (15 Matches played, 0 scored goals, 0 assists) Elephant Valley FC (South Newlandia)
RB: Roman Rios (26 years old) (0 matches played) Shaleport Rangers (Brenecia)
DM: Hugh McKay (20 years old) (0 matches played) Ratzupalfu Rhinos (South Newlandia)
LM: Mo Dawe (23 years old) (0 matches played) Portsmouth City (Murphtannia)
RM: Arnold Bois-Miller (24 years old) (0 matches played) Kinetik New Colk (South Newlandia)
OM: Bentley Levy (21 years old) (0 matches played) Porter City (Kohnhead)
ST: Eli Tshabala (23 years old) (0 matches played) Ratzupalfu Rhinos (South Newlandia)
ST: Otto Marsden (22 years old) (0 matches played) Ribar PRD (Zeta Reka & Hügeltaldom)

South Newlandian venues:

Elephant Dome (21.500 seats)
Elephant Valley, just a bit away from the western coast of South Newlandia, is not only the capital, but also the economic and cultural heart of South Newlandia. The Elephant Dome is the biggest stadium, home of the Elephant Valley FC, and will host three of the games. The stadium is right in the middle of the Elephant Valley, and seats a bit over 20 thousand people. There was a legendary game with nine goals here, and everyone in attendance remembers it to this day. South Newlandia will play Eura (MD8), Xanneria (MD7) and Qasden (MD18) here.

Jecken Arena (16,250) Newport, Northeast
It is unusual for stadiums to be sponsored in South Newlandia, but the stadium of Newport, right on the East Coast of South Newlandia, is sponsored by a well-known foreign food company from Jeckland. Currently, that nation seems to have temporarily vanished, but the company paid for the naming rights in advance. The stadium is the second-biggest in South Newlandia, and the home of Jecken Newport is commonly used for friendly matches. The Elephants will play Muralos (MD11) and Ranoria (MD15) here.

Walstreim City Stadium (15,000) Walstreim, Southeast
Walstreim, located at the South coast, became widely known with the success of their club team, the Walstreim Lions. Otherwise, the city is not particularly interesting, but it used to be very industrial. The Walstreim City Stadium has been upgraded for the occasion, as it used to hold only 13,000 people. This upgrade makes it the fourth-biggest in the nation. The Elephants face the Natanians and Nosts (MD13) and Sahuarita (MD3) here.

Kinetik Stadium (13,500) Elephant Island, Elephant Area
The Elephant Island is a small island just off of the coast of Elephant Valley, and it was never really relevant. At least not until the well-known energy drink brand from The Grearish Union, Kinetik, bought the Elephant Islanders (now Kinetik New Colk) and built them a top-notch modern stadium with everything you could possibly want. It is very close to the sea, so this stadium always looks fantastic on photos. South Newlandia will play against the Bigtopian Isles (MD5) and Himebaugh (MD1) here.

Coaching Staff

Manager: George Wangolo, 51
Assistant Manager: Federico Rassmussen, 43
First Team Coach: Guillaume Shin, 39
First Team Coach: Robert McLelland, 49
First Team Coach: Hwang Dong-Wook, 54
Physiotherapist: Joh Seung-Nam, 27

At this point in time, George Wangolo is probably the best choice the Grim Reapers have as their manager. With the Quebecois football slowly on its way back to relevance, it made choice for them to pick the Banijan assistant manager, who played a major role in the World Cup 86 championship team, over several options they had on board.

The 51-year old has extensive experience, having been at the helm for the Di Bradini Cup 47 championship team in Banija and at the helm of the Grim Reapers for what was a successful World Cup 87 cycle, but World Cup 88 would be his definitive challenge as the manager so far in his young career.

The previous cycle, with a successful play-off victory and competitive group stage performance in Ethane, will have given him enough experience on what's needed to capitalise and improve upon the Quebecois football. His emphasis on endurance, pace and patience will adjust well with the Grim Reapers side who, if we have to be honest, need to get better with patience and not always relying upon firepower. Quarterfinals finish on the previous year's AOCAF tournament, while with Under-25 squad, will also have given Wangolo a better idea on how to frame the national team's mould moving forward.

Also making his return is Federico Rasmussen, who enters his fourth cycle as the assistant manager for the Grim Reapers. The former Valencia FC manager has served very well as the assistant manager under Sir. Lionel Mah and now George Wangolo, and is widely considered to be a favourite among possible candidates for next Grim Reapers managerial position. Guillaume Shin, Robert McLelland, and Hwang Dong-Wook are all relatively familiar faces, having returned for either their third (Shin and McLelland) or fourth straight cycle (Shin). Guillaume Shin was a former national team goalkeeper who has since plied his talent after early retirement, while McLelland and Hwang had unremarkable careers, but have climbed up the coaching ladders quickly. With Xannerian coach, Mark Halley, having departed for greener patches, three first-team coaches are expected to handle greater weight on their shoulders. Young, 27-year old physiotherapist Joh Seung-Nam is a first-timer who was hired on what was a highly-competitive hiring process, and is expected to stay competitive and competent in providing what's needed for the Grim Reapers.

The Squad List

The Grim Reapers' usual formation is 4-2-1-3, which can turn into either a conventional 4-3-3 for normal circumstances, a 4-1-2-3 for defensive purposes, or a 4-2-4 (with the attacking midfielder going forward) when the offence is needed. The Grim Reapers are always looking to attack and maul their opponents, with continuous off-ball movements expected from them. Because of this, transition play becomes the team's strength and weakness at the same time. The streakiness of the squad's forms, even on minute-by-minute basis, is notorious, and that's a problem that needs to be solved in due time.

For the squad info right below, those marked in bold are the starters, while the key substitutes are marked underlined.

Squad information

After a cycle at helm, Wangolo now has a clear grip on where to focus with the Grim Reapers. It is clear to everyone that Quebec and Shingoryeo does have an issue with squad-wide inconsistency. This is combined by limited depth and lack of reliable veterans, the problem that the Banijan currently does not have much answer, but hopes to address before his eventual departure in lord knows when. It is true that the Grim Reapers, given their reputation as one of the most renowned Takil sides the last fifty years (Farfadillis and Krytenia being some of the other big names), have underperformed in goalscoring department. In defence and midfields, however, the Grim Reapers have performed quite well, au contraire to the general reputation, and the Grim Reapers have been able to stifle opposition by playing the bedroom football at various points.Depth is a tricky matter for Grim Reapers, and with the majority of the squad still on their early-mid twenties, the question over experience will continue to be placed at various points over the qualifying cycle.

Notable absentees in this cycle's Grim Reapers include: Olympique de Rimouski legend (and now a Sporting signing in SRS) Min Dong-Jin, who has announced his retirement from international football at age 33; and Michel Fillion, who at twenty-six has found himself gradually fall out of national team picture due to series of controversies that had come with his affairs and other things of private life. Also left out were right wingers Mohamed Khedira (Dynamo Sjoedhavn) and Wilton Ramos (Laketown Rangers). As for the newcomers, defenders Benoit-Richard Ukaleq and An Seung-Mi were brought back after notesworthy performance back in AOCAF, while Montreal Koreana duo Jean-Christophe Babin and Zinaida Woodcarver are expected to provide additional competition over the course of this qualification campaign. Among all the newcomers, Arsene-Michael Litt is probably the most impactful addition, with the twenty-one year old starlet at FC Felsenkirchen 1879 expected to make heavy contribution in the midfield corps that have to start thinking about life after Sinead MacDougall and Evander Bush-Sprenger.

At the back, the Grim Reapers have finally figured out a stable, winning combination, after spending last half-decade figuring out what would work and what would not work. In the fullback, the Grim Reapers may be at its strongest in depth. On the starting roles, Donovan Kim-Lumaniyka are both defensive, potent oxygen tanks who have shown great shutdown performances, but we cannot ignore those who are behind them either. Benoit-Richard Ukaleq and Hazel Hanson-Conavacio are both alluring options as left and right wingbacks - fast, elusive and explosive, who can be subbed into the role if extra bits of offence are needed. Hazel Hanson-Conavacio's crossing and passing abilities, to no one's surprise for those who have watched her performance as the Quebecois basketball's legend in making at small forward, is also expected to be used as a major offensive option for the Grim Reapers.

In the centreback, Lucien Raeff's finally found the fitting partner in Fabrice Manitopyes after a round of musical chairs over the first two cycles, and it looks like the partnership is going to stick around. Behind them are Gunzlach youngster An Seung-Mi and Koreana veteran Leah MacKechnie, who will fill in adequately when the stretch gets long and tough, while Baek Cha-Ryong, Luca Czernin and Hannah Kim are all vying for their own chances. On the last line of defence, Nelson Okello gets his starting gig back for the third straight cycle, but Hoima Warriors goalkeeper will have to be careful with his performance, especially as the RQFA holds a particularly short leash over him after what happened last World Cup. Besides, all three backups are capable - Padraig McGibbon, Jang Hyo-Sook and Sandra Middleton have all performed well at various points during past cycles, and more Okello struggles, the voices for them elevation to the starting role will get louder.

In the midfielders the Grim Reapers have most notably made improvements in terms of depth, and now the Grim Reapers have multiple options to consider alongside Erin Kang. While Sinead MacDougall, the other half of the pair that has taken the nods the last two cycles, the competition right behind the Myana veteran is active and numerous for the fans to take notice. Ibini FC's Anna Guweddeko has stepped up in her all-around game the last couple of seasons and is expected to be the first to challenge, though to some she remains a pretender. Arsene-Michael Litt, tall, lanky midfielder now with Felsenkirchen, would be a more technical selection right behind and would be favoured by quite a few pundits, while Seamus McKellar and Duncan Tshibangu stand strong as wildcards.

In the attacking midfield, one area where the Grim Reapers have certainly done well since their return, they are expected to run with only one. At the moment, it is Marco Hertel, the Servette FC attacking midfielder, even though the list of shenaningans, fouls, red cards, and illegitimate children (now numbered 9, all coming from different parents) would continue to dog his national team career. So far, George Wangolo has taken a relaxed approach with his star, whose talent no doubt keeps Hertel starting as many games as possible, but Wangolo is no idiot and is likely aware that at some point, the 25-year old too will be replaced like Michel Fillion.

The replaceability of Hertel, after all, increases with every year that passes on the tree ring, after all. TSV Marzig's Frank Lundrigan is an extremely promising option (ironic because he's born in the same year as Hertel), and is likely to clock more minutes with his sharp execution, good crosses and top-class discipline. Arsene-Michael Litt and Jean-Christophe Babin will feature less, but with the way we expect things to go, they will end up getting significant minutes as well. Regardless of whatever the combination Wangolo and co. will come with, there will be lots of grounds covered. With the Grim Reapers' adherence to physical brutality and Takil style of play, all three are going to move back and forth often. With this in mind, it'd be safe to assume a lot of mix-ups as needed- don't expect all three of Kang, MacDougall and Hertel to be playing in the same match unless it's a top 10 side.

In the forwards corps is where the Grim Reapers have traditionally made their names known, but not in the recent years. The starting three of Kim, Enrico and Huitema-Omeasoo is as good as any forward corps expected from a top-tier side, though it has yet to really mature and take off into the realms the oldies remember from the days of 'Big Six', when the Grim Reapers possessed four world-class and two elite forwards under the legendary 4-2-4 system of the early-mid seventies. There have been some differences made since the end of World Cup 87, with George Wangolo moving Kim Seung-Yoon to the left-wing, placing Pablo Mancosu to backup slot especially with Enrico Hanson-Conavacio's arrival.

The decision for the Myana star, whose frustration with the SFA have eventually culminated in the highly-controversial decision to switch his national allegiance, has brought lots of media attention to the Reneegrad. As the main man, Enrico's task is to score, something he has ability to do so any day, but his streakiness may also mean that he's not always going to start. Speedsters Kim Seung-Yoon and Kate Huitema-Omeasoo's jobs are to overlap and make crucial passes, but they both are highly capable with goalscoring on own, and will take over from Enrico or others if needed. Huitema-Omeasoo, the natural right-winger who can also double as a striker, should have no trouble with her assignment and continue to excel as she would on Istria City FC. Kim isn't really a natural winger though, and the RGS golden-booter is expected to be used interchangeably up forward when either Enrico's on low form or Pablo Mancosu plays on left-wing. On the bench, Mancosu, Kweon and Kasaboski-Wilcox all play both winger positions, while Woodcarver, Yi and Duhamel are slotted behind Enrico and Kim on striker position.

Note:
*Caps, and subsequent result stats below do not include WCQ88.
*Player ages are as though the qualifiers are held before the 9th IFCF cycle, as it is in our calendar. Do approximately add 1 age for everyone during the WC88 proper.

Captain: Makana Tuft
Vice-Captain: Joel Haodao
Penalty Taker: Joel Haodao (1st), Makana Tuft (2nd)
Free Kick Taker: Monesty Erdos, Aleka Dufour
Corner Takers: The prevailing LB/RB (in the case of a 4-3-3) or LM/RM (in the case of a 3-4-3)

Head Coach: Adnan Suliaha, 57
Assistant Head Coach: Katiri Hedge, 63
General Playing Style: Being a nation which emphasises on fast paced attacking football, Poafmersia would prefer to attack rather then defend. The players can be quite aggressive in getting back the ball, yet they do not keep high amounts of possession and they are very good at making use of mistakes by the opposition team to punish the opponents. Although this team has a weakness in defending set pieces, they are more fond of scoring through set pieces. Another way of scoring is often pressuring opponents through high defensive lines. This team, however, is likely to push forward even more attack, going even further to try to score more goals. The more goals, the better.

Formations: 3-4-3, 4-3-3

Fans
Poafmersian fans are crazy about football, and their loud cheers ring about in the stadiums they visit. They are very willing to disturb the peace in the area to celebrate their win after matches, so matches are best held in the afternoon or early evenings. You can spot Poafmers booking large meeting rooms in hotels, going to bars in groups. Apart from that, they do pick up after themselves, and prevent causing much trouble apart from celebrating. You can be assured, however, that they would be travelling around to support their team, so do reserve half the spots in stadiums for them because they would pack it to the brim.

Home Stadium
For the duration of this qualifiers, Poafmersia's home matches will all be held at Libira National Stadium. The Libira National Stadium is a 68,000 seater stadium, located in Fiskadaha City, capital of Poafmersia. It serves as the national stadium of the Poafmersia Football Team, and is also a multi-purpose stadium that can be used to organise other sporting and non-sports events, such as concerts. The venue features, among other things, a retractable roof, which allows for games to be held even under heavy downpour.

Fiskadaha City is the most well connected among many cities in Poafmersia. To get into Fiskadaha City, you can take a plane, operated by many airlines including Potato Airlines and Phoenix Airlines, the nation's 2 biggest airlines, into Fiskadaha International Airport, located 30 minutes outside the city. There is an underground express train between the airport and the city centre. As Poafmersia practices a "NO private transport" policy within major cities, travelling around Fiskadaha City would require the use of bicycles, trains, or buses that are prevalent around.

RP Permissions
My opponent, if they RP first, may do the following:
Choose my goalscorers - Yes
Godmod scoring events - Yes (Realistic events only, such as long range shots)
Roleplay injuries to my players - Yes (You determine what happened, I decide the severity.)

Possible lead on football federation developments
From: Iismel Biilar Oriol
To: Editor editor@sports.piinostimes.bc.ns.org.com

I came across this from what seems to be a mistaken email forward from a source at the football federation of the fourteen free cities of the bluecliff league (ffffcbl). it's obviously incomplete but i thought it would be interesting since i know you have a team doing a deep dive into developments at the federation and their focus on the big money domestic leagues.

seems like your hunch is right and the directive is to nearly abandon the world cup events. idk if this is an official ddocument in any way but it's very sloppy and almost seems to me like the work of interns - there are even comments written in the document which you can see if you hover over some areas.

let me know what you think and i'll pass this on to the team.

Best,
Iismel

also - i have nearly finished that 750-word article you asked for on the basics of cricket. I enjoyed writing it but I really don't think it's a good idea for a feature as even my sources and the cricket players i talked to were unclear on how exactly the game worked. we'll talk about it later.

One attachment shown below

It is years now since the world was introduced to, enraptured by, and continued their day to day life without thinking of, the grand union of the Fourteen Free Cities of the Bluecliff League.

No longer nascent, and as yet unable to devise for themselves a demonym, the Bluecliffians continue much as they always have. International football is not played for its own sake but for the sake of peddling what meager scraps of influence that Bluecliff has to offer.

For the first time, however, the members of the young union find that influence on the decline. Bluecliff used to be a hot commodity, with enormous clubs of foreign supporters trickling through the gates to experience the novelty that was belief in Bluecliff League. Now, though, with a new crop of glittery nations fresh out of a Baptism of Fire much more exciting that the previous editions, and a stagnant ranking as a cause of predictably subpar performances during the last world cup, Bluecliff must contend not only with the talented teams that seek to dethrone them from their position as one hundred and sixteenth in the world, but also expectations. Rare foe.

Couple this with the fact that the monied interests and big business contracts are circling the domestic game just like sharks don't do in real life but sometimes do in movies, and it's no wonder the Football Federation would rather focus on other matters. When they're not busy dealing with TV contracts, sneaking off to collaborate with private companies, or selling out the history of the game and the fact of human emotion for three points on a merger deal, the Fourteen Free Cities of the Bluecliff League must present their roster for the Qualifiers to the Eighty-Eighth World Cup.

Sorry, I mean

*ahem*

the Fourteen Free Cities of the Bluecliff League
must
Present

Their Roster for the Qualifiers to the Eighty-Eighth World Cup

The Fourteen Free Cities

[floatleft][box]The Republic of Alfoda Aljodillu (ALA), which straddles one of the many straits separating Bluecliff's myriad islands and archipelagos from its mainland. The city is a major player in the Bluecliff economy because of its gateway positioning and the lack of the isolationist streak found in some of its neighbors.

The Constitutional Monarchy of Anatarīpatuhianata (ANA), on the tip of one of the peninsulas that forms Grenďtera's bay, is a large and historically powerful seafaring city that has a shrinking urban core but booming suburbs as immigrants, no longer forced to make a living seaside, settle down the peninsula.

The Procterate of Belesad (BLS), which was either built into a deep, fertile valley or has been in place since before the mountains rose around it. Nobody remembers why this Free City is not nominally independent, but everyone knows it's a matter of most important tradition.

The Beryèzian Federation (BER), a city which grew from, then monopolized, then came to define the trade, culture, and commerce of Beryèz, a massive lake in Bluecliff's interior. The settlements, cities, and trade towns ringing the gargantuan shore forge allies and govern each other and themselves with fluidity, but federate themselves respectably to deal with outsiders.

The Republic of Colhaut (COL), which is high in the rugged mountains near the isthmus of Ruvaslâna. The city embraces the mountains, and the thin air generally means that when the Colhautois come down to earth, they find themselves to be comparatively strong sportsmen.

The Democratic Republic of Grenďtera (GRT), a wealthy port city built on a shattered peninsula bay in the mild areas of Bluecliff's north. Because of the nomadic traditions of its inhabitants, the Free City of Grenďtera controls a vast swath of the surrounding area - outside the Grenďteran sphere of influence, we call them "suburbs."

The Republic of Ila Vardeda (ILV), which takes up the rest of the archipelago and island chain it shares with Īlasatasēva. It's nearly impossible to tell where the roads, bridges, and buildings end and the ocean begins - the Ila Vardedans learned from Kahiang how to play fast and loose with the concept of "land."

The Procterate of Īlasatasēva (IST), a lush metropolis which sprawls across bridges and claims the alternate skyscrapers and jungles of half a peninsula and 7.38 sizeable islands in Bluecliff's south. Also not nominally independent, they call themselves a Free City despite technically being a colony of a disgusting historically-circumstantial mess of competing thrones, principalities, chartered estates, and corporations.

The Constitutional Monarchy of Kahiang (KHN), a tiny single island a bit removed from the rest of Bluecliff, which has used every tiny bit of land avaliable to it to construct a booming, sleek, modern metropolis. When they ran out of land but kept booming, reclaimed land and some open ocean development allowed the population to continue to thrive.

The Republic of Nialabade (NLB) consists of almost all of Bluecliff's sparsely-populated inland, and is the closest thing in the League to a conventional "country." From mountains in the west to beaches in the south and north, and with more than one urban center, Nialabade is a CINO (City in Name Only).

The Republic of Piinos Valdiios (PII), a landlocked marshland and pine forest that somehow has supported a large population, clustered in sporadic high-density urban cores with city-sized barrens between them. Highly isolationist and hard to get to, they are nonetheless dominant in sport.

The Republic of Ruvaslâna (RUV), which lays claim to an entire eponymous isthmus with terrain that is utterly uninhabitable save for a narrow strip of coastline on its western shore, where the thriving Free City, hundreds of times longer than it is wide, bustles.

The Free Land of Vosohodo Dreki (VHD) controls vast amounts of desert, vast amounts of tundra, and two cities of notable size, who are so locked in a perpetual cycle of power struggle to power-sharing agreement to power struggle that the vast terrain is an excellent spot to live free from government interference. In the cities and away from the politics, though, things are sleek, modern, and egalitarian.

The United States of Zwazu (ZWA), a tropical mainland enclave with a robust economy, is as notable for its federated, self-governing neighborhoods as it is for its comparatively restrictive politics. Opening the city up was a condition of the League's creation, and it was agreed to. In principle.

Kits

The general consensus (a rare thing to find in Bluecliff) is that, while the football federation went a bit overboard by splashing the fourteen-diamond ring from the flag everywhere they possibly could, the outfits are the best part of the squad. Purchasing and wearing the jersey will likely do more for League unity than watching the matches will, especially with the players making no effort to hide their animosity towards each other.
Copy-pasting from a hastily-written press release here:
The home colors are a clean black-and-blue with white and gray pinstripes, and the elegant splash of a half-ring of seven diamonds on the right shoulder is an ingenious element of design. It allows everyone in Bluecliff to insist that their free city and urban area is represented by one of the seven diamonds, while their neighbors or latest scapegoats were deservedly dropped. Over the heart is the full ring of fourteen diamonds on the flag, which serves as the League's crest, and of course represents the union of the fourteen free cities. The away colors are alternating stripes of white and gray, with the crest in blue enlarged and in the middle of the chest, and blue trim on the sleeves. Also on the sleeves of both shirts can be found the flag of the Free City from which a given player hails.

Bluecliff's home and away shirts, the only two redeeming factors we've managed to scrounge up.

There is no third kit, and producing one would take up so many negotiation and committee rooms that the Football Federation formed a committee to decide, in a marathon session of heated debate that lasted well into the night, not to bother. If an opponent has color clashes with both kits, however, the Federation has appointed a standing committee to resolve the matter, and they will issue a decision on whether or not to assemble a task force to define the issue to be addressed shortly.

They're the same strips as were worn in the last cycle. The Football Federation tends to like a bit of consistency through the cycle, at least in the shirt.

Stadiums and Schedule

Now. Here's a problem nobody ran into at all during the Baptism of Fire. Fourteen Free Cities, packed full of stadiums ready to be used. Nine home matches, begging to be played on a decent pitch. Five Free Cities are about to face a greivous insult. Not only that, quite a few of the biggest, best, prettiest, and most structurally sound of the arenas on offer will be commandeered for the Bluecliff Championship, leaving some last minute paperwork gravely needed. Stadiums will be verified, double-stamped, approved, and explained before each home game, but here's the rough outline:

OOC and RP Permissions

If it can happen in your nation or an RL game of football, it's fair game. I'd prefer it if you didn't break with your own or my canon.

RPing any sort of pandemic, COVID-19 or otherwise, is in terrifically poor taste and I will ignore it if you do. As others have said, I am here specifically to get away from that. Do not, and I mean do not, introduce, mention, or acknowledge any sort of disease outbreak in the Fourteen Free Cities or related to the Fourteen Free Cities in any way.

The same goes for direct parallels of whatever RL political horrors come our way

I tend to paradoxically both not write direct match-report style RPs, and also want detailed stats. If match reports are your style, I encourage and frankly implore you to choose my goalscorers, assists, throw-ins, dribbles, cards, injuries, whatever you please, as long as it conforms to the above.

My opponent, if they RP first, may do the following:
Choose my goalscorers: Yes
Godmod scoring events: No
RP injuries to my players: Yes
Godmod injuries to my players: No
Hand out yellow cards to my players: Yes
Hand out red cards to my players: Yes
Godmod other events: No

For the lovely hosts

Bluecliff League not Bluecliff

Iismel:

Good work finding this. You're right, it's atrocious.

I've passed it on to the team in charge of this coverage, but I have no doubt it will be resolved. It would be uncharacteristic and a real confirmation of our thought that priorities are elsewhere if the Federation were to file something so sloppy at the last minute.

As for the cricket, in my experience those closest to the sport understand it the least. Good work.

Enjoy your weekend.

The Euran Football Association’s World Cup 88 Qualifying Squad

Manager: Skorji Oslograd (59, Eura)

As unlikely as it might have seemed not so long ago, Skorji Oslograd has been appointed the eighth permanent manager of the Euran national team in the modern era. The former Bastion, Hornchurch (season loan), FC Axel Heiburg and Revolutionaries centre forward is an icon of Euran football, starring in Eura’s World Cup 66 winning side at the height of an international career that saw him make 168 appearances for Eura, scoring 103 goals. Oslograd then went into coaching and management, where he had a low key career until taking over as manager of The Askari Union. He improved them significantly and got them playing perhaps their best ever football at the Copa Rushmori, before moving to take over the national team job for the newly formed Euran Oceania Territories, who had only recently started competing in WCC competition.

Although Oslograd was unsuccessful in achieving the dream of getting the Expats into the World Cup, even with a surprisingly talented generation of players (but little squad depth), he can claim to have transformed the Euran dominion’s fortunes for the better and claimed some memorable shock victories with the side. It nearly all came apart during World Cup 85 qualifying when the Expats went on a horrific run of form and Oslograd, plagued also by off the pitch controversies, came close to getting the sack. He was saved by a remarkable return to form during World Cup 86 qualifying and recently has had the Expats securing the best results of their history, raising his profile on the international radar once more.

The blow dealt to Euran footballing pride by failing to qualify for World Cup 87 has been severe, and has created something of an inquisition in the national game as to the causes. As part of this the EFA needed a replacement for Lee Sharp following his resignation. Although the FA approached several top tier candidates, it was felt that a truly radical departure from the normal practices of the EFA and its teams was required, leading to this shock wildcard appointment. Oslograd’s appointment has already proven hugely controversial and it is likely his tenure will be no different. Not much of that will matter if he gets the results the EFA desire, and although patience will be on offer for the overhaul that is required, failure to meet expectations could result in Oslograd’s other contradictions becoming his downfall. He is under immense pressure to prove the doubters wrong, but then again, he’s done it in the past and could do it again.

A decent start in some friendlies and at the Cup of Harmony was somewhat soured by defeat in the final to Mriin, a recurring nightmare of a defeat to Darmen long ago that followed Eura steamrolling all prior opposition in the tournament. Nevertheless, Eura's mostly faultless performance - and a tournament unusually free of antics for an initially sober minded Oslograd - relieved pressure on the new coach. Unfortunately a promising start to a home Copa Rushmori that followed was brought to a saddening end by penalty heartbreak in the quarterfinals. A series of disappointing results in friendlies since (with unorthodox squad selections likely to blame) has prompted a severe shake up of the squad ahead of Eura's return to World Cup qualifying, along with the resumption of Oslograd's more unconventional behaviour. Needless to say, anything than immediate return to the World Cup finals will be unacceptable.

Assistant Manager: Rhea Fianchetto (44, The Askari Union)

Oslograd’s wife and long term assistant manager from his days in charge of The Askari Union, Fianchetto is little known the public eye but has become a respected coach in her own right among those in the know. Many speculate that she may provide sense to the chaos of what has been dubbed “Skorjiball”; when Oslograd has been in a pit, Fianchetto has been there to bail him out, time and time again.

Styles and Permission

Style Modifier: +3

My opponent, if they RP first, may do the following:

Godmod injuries to my players – YES (But only how the injury happens, not the extent of the injury)
Hand out yellow cards to my players – YES
Hand out red cards to my players – YES
Godmod other events – YES, provided you keep events within the realms of realism, so no deaths etc.

Please note that I am not participating in or recognising any kind of pandemic themed RP at this time. You are welcome to RP a pandemic impacting your own country or national team as you wish, but please do not extend this to my team or country.
