World Cup 93 - Roster Thread

Postby Chromatika » Sat Jan 21, 2023 12:42 am

Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to World Cup 93, proudly hosted by Chromatika and Tumbra!

This is the official roster thread for the World Cup. If you have signed up for the World Cup, then it is time to inform us of those who will be representing your nation. A typical roster will have a list of eleven starters and reserves, at the very least. It should also include the manager/head coach. You can even feel free to name a complete list of staff.

Roster posts are also the place to provide your national stadium(s) information. Half of your qualifying games will be played on home turf, so this will allow everyone to know about your facilities.

It can also include: formations, strategies/tactics, team background, traditions, kits/jerseys, fans, players' roles, team achievements, nicknames, and anything else you can think of.

Rosterless Penalty
There will be a penalty for not rostering — 50% of the offending nation’s rank for the first cutoff, increasing by 10%, down to a minimum of zero, until they post a roster.

Style Modifiers:
Nations are also invited to include a style modifier for their team. Style mods range from -5 to +5. A team that plays offensively, attacking more and focusing on scoring more goals at the cost of defense, should choose a positive style mod (anywhere from +0.001 to +5.0); they will both score and concede more goals on average. Teams that would rather sit back and focus on defense to prevent their opponents from scoring too many goals should choose a negative style mod (anywhere from -0.001 to -5.0); they will give up fewer goals, but will also have more difficulty scoring goals than their offense-first counterparts. For those who want the best of both worlds, or just don't really care to choose one style over the other, a neutral style mod of 0 is the best option. Nations that do not indicate a style mod will be assigned a neutral one.

After the first match day, if a participant wishes to change their style mod to one different from what they initially posted, they may do so by sending the host scorinating their next match a request via telegram. It is asked that participants include an in-character rationale for the change in their TG to the hosts. Nations will only be allowed one style mod change after the first day of qualifying, so choose wisely when asking.

RP Permissions Box
It is also asked that participants include information on what their opponents can and cannot include in RPs about their team by posting an RP permissions box (or its equivalent) with their roster:

Code: Select all
My opponent, if they RP first, may do the following:
Choose my goalscorers: Yes/No (Yes is strongly recommended, as it helps your opponent write about the game)
Godmod scoring events: Yes/No
RP injuries to my players: Yes/No
Godmod injuries to my players: Yes/No
Hand out yellow cards to my players: Yes/No
Hand out red cards to my players: Yes/No
Godmod other events: Yes/No


Posting a roster for your team will earn you a valuable bonus as well as the gratitude of other nations in your group, since writing match reports quickly becomes boring if one is unable to name any of their opponents' players. If you have any OOC comments, questions, or concerns please post them in the World Cup Discussion Thread or send one of the hosts a TG here or a DM on discord.

For more guidance on what a roster should/can look like, take a look through the World Cup 92 roster thread.

Football/Soccer which has traditionally been called both interchangeably But Also Fifa, has been at the top of Ascvalion's past times for decades nearing a century. The sport had a state by state expansion rate which constantly kept changing the Tournament structure in Ascvalion as well giving birth to the Ascvalian rule set which added NFL/Rugby style tackling to the sport thus actually disqualifying the national team for some time. now being led by Retired Super Champions Leaguer and 5 time Champion Jean-Pierre Chaufourier of Notre City, and his Co-coach Connor Brooks Vallengard United 4 time Champion and Jean-Pierre's rival, They selected old and upcoming players across the Super Champions League.

The Team Made it to the Baptism of Fire Round of 16 at the top of the knock out round, but was defeated 2-3 by Aeragny

Starting XI
1. Hakeem Olajunwon - goalkeeper, age: 24 Height: 7 feet 4 inches
with a Wingspan of 7′ 6″, Hakeem is also surprisingly nimble and can leap from seemingly nowhere to save the most certain goals. He's a jovial kind of person and loves joking about anything
2. Sean O'Neil - right back, age: 23 Height: 6 Foot
Stoic on the pitch but very Jovial at the Pub
3. Andrew Takashima - left back, age: 19 Height: 5 feet 11 inches
A amazing counter flanker Takashima can catch any attacker in a quick flash and will never get off them, which he'll do with a massive smile
4. Jonathan Ayawamat - right center back, age: 25 Height: 7 foot
while not as tall as Hakeem, Ayawamat is a Native Valerian Built like a MMA fighter that can Admittedly tackle quite aggressively but makes up for it by being a master a tricking the Attacker to shoot out of the field
5. Jose Martinez- left center back, age: 23 Height: 6 feet 4 inches
the more jovial center back Martinez works amazingly with Ayawamat with the pressure tactic
6. Robert Smith - left midfielder, age: 24 Height: 6 feet 6 inches
An expert intercepter Smith will get your attacker into the jaws of Auclair without them being the wiser
7. George Asano - center forward/ striker, age: 17 Height: 5 feet 7 inches
The youngest player on the team Asano is quick, agile, and quick witted. while just meeting them, Asano works wonders with Hale and De-Paul. the two of them happen to be Asano's Idols during his School life
8. Saul De-Paul - right winger, age: 21 Height: 6 feet 3 inches
Soft spoken but a Football wizard De-Paul always has Hale's back in any situation and can step up to any plate when called upon
9. Jedidiah Anderson - right midfielder, age: 23 Height: 6 feet 5 inches
Anderson admittedly has a pretty boring Football flair but he's an expert at disrupting even the most experienced dribblers by being simple about it
10. Mark Hale [Captain] - left winger/ can play striker on the go, age: 24 Height: 6 feet 4 inches
the Superstar of the team, Hale was a young prodigy and given credit by Vallengard United for leading them to four consecutive SCL titles and has been given player of the year in as many years, all due to his quick pace, master dribbling, and Leadership skills
11. Jean-Paul Auclair - center midfielder, age: 31 Height: 6 feet 11 inches
the oldest of the team Jean-Paul is basically the Co-captain of the team and typically given responsibility of the defense

Reserves:
#12 Eddard MacMagnus - back, age: 24 Height: 6 feet 5 inches
#13 Simon Cuéllar - back, age: 19 Height: 6 feet 3 inches
#14 William Mackenzie - back, age: 20 Height: 6 feet 4 inches
#15 Wallus McNelson - center midfielder, age: 21 Height: 6 feet 5 inches
#16 Arthur Rimmer - center midfielder, age: 22 Height: 6 feet 4 inches
#17 John Redwood - side midfielder, age: 23 Height: 6 feet 5 inches
#18 James Sullivan - side midfielder, age: 25 Height: 6 feet 4 inches
#19 Edward Dawson - forward/winger, age: 27 Height: 6 feet 3 inches
#20 Kevin Eddardson - forward/winger, age: 28 Height: 6 feet 5 inches
#21 Paul Palmerston- forward/winger, age: 19 Height: 6 feet 3 inches
#22 David Wenterton- goalkeeper, age: 29 Height: 6 feet 5 inches

Stadium Assignments
Aminey, Aminey - Stade sur la Baie (70000) - home to Aminey CS (and the Aminey Caspians, Aminey Buffaloes, and Aminey Owls).
The flagship stadium, huge production values, the works.

Schemerdrecht, Intermare - Orange Bowl (54000) - home to Schemerdrecht SVV (and the Schemerdrecht Admirals).
More associated perhaps with the Admirals than the SVV, but it's nearly always sold out venue for great crowds in any sport.

Maethoru, KCT - Rikalathen Arena (39000) - home to Maethoru SC (and Mayara Wanderers-Vulpecula).
Close to the KFA's training grounds, at least it has that going for it. Crowds aren't great here.

Étouille, Cote Austral - Stade Amandine (30000) - home to Tanques AOE (and the Etouille Vultures).
Some amazing drone shots over a stadium, a city, and a crowd that knows what makes life fun.

Santa Teresa, Finisterre - Estádio Fortaleza (29000) - home to Miradela GD (and the Santa Teresa Sabres).
Made to be exactly 1000 seats larger than their rivals' stadium, the Fortaleza is the upper-class stadium.
OR
Santa Teresa, Finisterre - Estádio Marítimo (28000) - home to Branvon CD.
The working class stadium that is, in all facets, a bit inferior to the Fortaleza. Except the crowds. There's no better stadium for wild crowds.

Maynard, Leeshire - Armskirk Municipal Ground (26000) - home to Maynard AFC.
The unlucky Maynard team have asked the KFA to have their stadium used by the national team - as the only southwestern stadium.

Katashi, Katashi - Suzumebachi Stadium (25000) - home to Katashi-Kanatsu.
The biggest stadium in the east, Katashi deserves a game. The fans will mostly just cheer for the Yoshiman players, though.

Greencaster, Surbourneshire - Golhampton Grounds (25000) - home to Sydberg Olympia.
Greencaster never had a big football culture, but that's changed, and the local Olympia have kept pace with the hype. Biggest city in the country, too.

Aevanna, Aerellen - Northern Arena (32000) - home to university team 'Aevanna Ecologiske Universitet'.
The KFA wants some games geographically spread across the country, and so the cold, dark, and cold gridiron Northern Arena is on the list.

Alara, Alara - Spider Stadium (27100) - home to Advance Alara.
Eastern but not on the island Katashi's on. Fans are used to seeing a lot of goals - which the Dragonflies don't do.

Straudum, Sudaefjoll - Hazel Arena (25400) - home to Straudum VV.
Biggest stadium in the northeast, as far as the mainland goes. Straudum's style matches the NT's style perfectly. Propped up by the massive (rich) IT sector.

Eaglebury, WSR - Uriagali Field (18000) - home to WSR AFC and Pride of Eaglebury.
Biggest/only stadium on the west coast. Eaglebury has an amazing, flourishing sports culture and it's no longer completely ignored by the other 99% of the country.

RP Permissions
Choose my goalscorers: Yes
Choose Scoring Events: 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: Yes (but give me an 'out' for the Ko-orenite fans and players if it's extreme)


Image
GK Edou Bittencourt (KOR, 29) - Miradela GD, a martyr, strong, playmaker

GK Norauspu Thurzerthinden (KOR, 27) - WSR AFC, a casual, towering, genius
GK Carl Malmstroom (KOR, 27) - Tanques AOE, a fanatical, compact, debater
GK Wemagun Cyamou (KOR, 22) - Amandine AdF, a questioning, plump, tactician

Bittencourt was always a weird outsider for the starting job but with Miradela in the driving seat, all of a sudden it's not such a weird selection. Weird to think that Bittencourt probably is the best GK on the islands - whether his club is good or bad - and that nobody was willing to acknowledge it. In the post-Theshendan (and Doolan, and Goossen) era, the race for backup (and beyond) is flaring up and more open than ever. Thurzerthinden is also not a name we expected to see here a half decade ago, while Malmstroom has been on the long list for a while. Cyamou has a bunch of hype but is firmly in a class behind the other two, with players like Siemeling or Olssen.

Image
RF Hikomoto Mizuno (KOR, 32) - Tempala United Saints, DAR, a mischievous, hard-hitting, cheater
RB Minne van Schelven (KOR, 33) - Lhor, CMT, a serious, athletic, professional
CB Jubenar Mallerbury (KOR, 28) - Zilverstraat SC, TSA, a evil, agile, dynamo
LB Harmon Mulvahil (KOR, 27) - Osarese Marcadia, AUD, a good, staunch, aggressor
LF Emi (f) van Kalvenhaar (KOR, 28) - Maethoru SC, a active, bulky, all-rounder

RF Edialor Aiamara (KOR, 31) - Maethoru SC, an egotistical, beefy, mercenary
RB Ethan Benjamin (KOR, 35) - Ousevale Borough, KRY, a good, bulky, communicator
CB Niniaw yLleamaid (KOR, 22) - WSR AFC, a spoiled, quick, technician
LB Marc Hoevink (KOR, 28) - Straudum VV, a soft, instinctive, gladiator
LF Kaneyoshi Kaji (KOR, 19) - Katashi-Kanatsu, a dense, petite, mercenary

RF Hubert Breguet (KOR, 23) - Tanques AOE, a compassionate, hard-hitting, controller
RB Phineas Betteridge (KOR, 29) - Kawarthas District, KSK, a dynamic, powerful, pace setter
RB Charley Mellowby (KOR, 17) - Maynard AFC, an aggressive, petite, box-to-box player
RB Aoremis Aelea (KOR, 24) - Amandine AdF, a loud, fit, tackler
LB Abi Lavaud (KOR, 24) - Montreal Koreana, QUE, a idiosyncratic, fast, dissenter
LF Sujimbee Haggigana (KOR, 19) - WSR AFC, a businesslike, bony, captain

All the big names at right fullback are aging: Mizuno, Aiamara, but also Boulanger, Aelisire, and Grootenhuis: where are the future stars at! We only need one per position to start with, but the entire top five at the position could well be retired within a few cycles. Breguet is in the conversation for the bench but he's got nothing on Mizuno for the time being. Strange how Mizuno has had such a vicegrip on the position when Aiamara isn't worse in any clear metric. The right centreback position is insanely strong as ever, with Van Schelven and Benjamin there - that's the definition of stacked. Betteridge deserves mention, Mellowby is coming into the Second Division with immense hype, and Aelea promoted with Amandine to the Top League and wouldn't look out of place at the big teams there - his personality helps. Mallerbury is also finally getting some space with Van Schelven and Benjamin on the worse side of thirty and many other starters retired - and it turns out that Mallerbury is actually pretty damn good. Mulvahil and Hoevink are similar and legendary, the former a little more going with the 'cheater' theme while Mizuno and Van Schelven are still on there, and Hoevink is more of a butcher, not exactly a type we're often going for. Lavaud doesn't look out of place and has decidedly beaten Ardouin or newer guys like Finisterrais to the position. The left fullback position is very strong with Van Kalvenhaar backed up by two young guys who could appear on the right side given that's a little pressed for youth.

Image
DM Orinosuke Uozumi (KOR, 22) - Katashi-Kanatsu, a circumspect, trim, aggressor
CM Timothy Parsons (KOR, 28) - Straudum VV, a loyal, fast, opportunist
CM Purelbusak Entatingun (KOR, 22) - Maethoru SC, a noncompetitive, heavy, mercenary
AM Maximilien Longchambon (KOR, 34) - Revolutionaries, EUR, a hostile, slim, teammate

DM Jolgurasaun Dhentingun (KOR, 29) - Mercia Bromham, KRY, a helpful, bulky, box-to-box player
RM Ciriaco Laza (KOR, 19) - Miradela GD, a cruel, compact, showman
LM Nanko Wormstal (KOR, 29) - Metropolis Alligators, VLD, a noncompetitive, heavy, wall
AM Authusa Aoriene (KOR, 29) - Maethoru SC, a emotional, powerful, clown

RM Naohiro Enokida (KOR, 26) - Advance Alara, a neat, pacy, maestro
RM Elco Lamshuis (KOR, 26) - Schemerdrecht SVV, a bossy, well built, box-to-box player
CM Geomraff yCinrhadd (KOR, 27) - Sivolvia Capitalizt, SRS, a loving, stocky, architect
LM Saushilu Janoreirinthen (KOR, 36) - Maethoru SC, a irrational, bony, technician

The 'DM' position is back since Yokota's retirement, and of course it had to be Uozomi - from the same Katashi background - to bring it back. Parsons and Entatingun seem the only no-brainer duo on the field, forcing us to play a narrow diamond shape on midfield but it allows our best two players to share playing time. And Longchambon still is a factor you can't ignore when planning a XI. That leaves us Dhentingun on the bench, and the winger versions to change our midfield shape, Laza and Wormstal - they can widen the diamond, or make it a 2-2, or a 1-3. It's what makes us versatile. Backups include more wingers, Enokida, Lamshuis, and Janoreirinthen - now really a little too old to start - with yCinrhadd aiming to get a few starts here and there.

Image
RS Aurin Aomelirea (KOR, 25) - Revolutionaries, EUR, a opportunistic, bulky, man marker

LS Rex Archer (KOR, 26) - Aminey CS, a relaxed, lanky, cheater

SS Hurorinul Bonstirthinden (KOR, 26) - Aminey CS, a inhibited, gigantic, glass cannon
RS Hannibal Sawyer (KOR, 25) - Straudum VV, a intellectual, instinctive, target man

The starter for now is Aomelirea, outperforming Archer and his Aminey, with Rex not far behind. They're similar in style, both more 'rest of the field' minded than just a pure finisher, which Sawyer is. Bonstirthinden can play AM or striker.

Image
We play post-football, a term coined during World Cup 89 to put words to a horrible semifinal between Audioslavia and the Dragonflies, which ended 0-0 after 120 minutes, then all but one penalty was scored in the ensuing series. Post-football means no singing. No cheering. No scoring. Post-football is sideways passes, looking like the same, repetitive movements for minutes on end, but with tiny variations that at some point will get to you. It could be a counterattack, or a shot from distance, or a set piece. Post-football doesn't care if it takes 90 or 120 minutes, or more.

This team is all about containing their opponent, letting them make mistakes, and capitalising on those. Let the other guys get impatient, lose the ball, and immediately go for the counter attack. Yes, it's frustrating to play against, but you have to admit that there's a certain beauty to doing this near-flawlessly every single time. The Dragonflies aren't a very physical team, but can match almost every opponent in stamina (not so much power or speed, though. Typically only the wingers are pacy). Instead, they rely on tactics and patience. The team is also good enough to be in possession a lot and dictate the tempo, though they're not always creative enough to break down the opposing defence - for that, the Dragonflies have learned to be very, very good on counterattacks, set pieces, and a few patterns in open play. Given the experience most of these players have, it's hard to come up with something new they've never seen - and then do that well enough to reliably score. In order to beat us, you'll need to bring two (or more) of the following: power, speed, caution.

Basically, this team comes prepared, is patient, and keeps a cool head.

Image
Numbers 1 to = typically start (but not always, feel free to choose your starters). That's 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, X, and =.
Numbers 1-1= are typically selected as starters or subs (but not always, feel free to select some 23+-ers as subs or starters).
Numbers 20 and over are mostly there as emergency replacements, but can be part of the squad for some games. These are almost always younger players with a lot of promise.

Image
The standard for this team. Five defenders, a defensive midfielder-slash-pivot, two wingers, an attacking midfielder-annex-second striker, and a pure finisher up front. In possession, one of the defenders can push up: this might be one of the fullbacks to provide width, but can also be one of the centrebacks, in which case the defensive midfielder makes way. The wingers will be wider or narrower based on the opposition, and the same determines how far the fullbacks will advance. In defence, the team becomes narrower, with the defensive midfielder playing spoiler to whoever is trying to find space between the Ko-orenite lines, and the wingers falling back to meet opposing fullbacks. The striker and attacking midfielder will almost always look for space to launch a counterattack. Alternate formations almost all include changes to the midfield. The diamond - played with either two wingers (RM-LM) or two central midfielders (CM-CM) or even a combination of those two - can turn into a 2-2 with two defensively minded (if not DMs) players and two offensively minded (if not AMs) ones. A 3-1 (three defensive players) is somewhat rare given the heavy backline, but there may be a reason to play it: maybe the fullbacks push up the wings and we need to cover something. Or the centrebacks get a lot of space to advance the ball and our midfielders cover them. A 1-3 (three offensive players) is far more likely, especially against smaller opponents in qualifiers, to chase more goals. At that point, we might even bring on a second striker (SS) or striker (LS/RS/ST) and play (formally) a 5-3-2. Honestly, the formation is secondary to the gameplan and the space our opponents give us: if we need a 2-3-5 to get us the biggest chance at a win (and a clean sheet while we're at it) we'll do it.

OFFICIAL ROSTER

Style Mod - -2
Manager - Kenji Ohashi

STARTING XI
1. GK - Ige Hiroki
Age: 23
Height: 5' 7"
Weight: 79.5 kg
While looking more like a study defender than a nimble goalkeeper, up and coming star Hiroki has captured the nation's imagination with his leaping saves and daring antics when faced with a penalty head on. Outside of football he is reserved and usually doesn't say much in press conferences.
2. LB - Mihara Minoru
Age: 36
Height: 5' 11"
Weight: 58.3 kg
While he is getting on in years, Minoru would never pass up a chance to go to a World Cup, just once in his career. He sees it as his last gasp at glory on the international stage. Outside of football he is quite nerdy and loves chess and rock collecting.
3. CB - Koichi Shira
Age: 33
Height: 5' 8"
Weight: 97.7 kg
Shira is a character on and off the pitch. He is loud, often finding himself on the wrong side of the law, and having to be dragged away from an opposing team member. He likes to go out to parties after a game, and is covered in tattoos. Fans either love or hate him.
4. CB - Ire Cornog
Age: 22
Height: 5' 6"
Weight: 86.2 kg
As the youngest in an aging back line, Cornog often faces criticism from fans who doubt his ability to play. He is also a social media personality.
5. RB - Drogo Ichiru
Age: 31
Height: 5' 10"
Weight: 60.1 kg
An avid reader, Ichiru spends most time off the pitch examining stats and watching back clips of their opposition attack. He is the tactical brain on the pitch, as well as an exceptionally fast right back.
6. CM - Duncan Frances
Age: 28
Height: 6' 1"
Weight: 66.4 kg
Duncan is a big, well-built man. He is the type to bowl over players in the middle of the field for the ball. He is also pretty fast, and can play good balls through the middle.
7. CM - Hana Chasey
Age: 23
Height: 5' 11"
Weight: 67 kg
Chasey's passion is sports. When he's not playing for his beloved Obrela, he can be found online playing sports games. He was suspended from the Baptism of Fire on account of failing a drugs test.
8. LW - Zach Miyashimo
Age: 25
Height: 6' 0"
Weight: 57.7 kg
Miyashimo is Obrela's captain, the leader of their crew, so to speak. He takes his role seriously, and cycles up and down Obrela's mountain roads every morning, and can often be found in the gym yelling at a punching bag between swings.
9. AM - Nobuko Miller
Age: 22
Height: 6' 2"
Weight: 99 kg
Miller is a pacifist type. He hopes to unite the divided world through football, and is an activist for multiple charities. He's also often the one pulling Shira off whoever he's gotten in a fight with now.
10. RW - Yuko Miyura
Age: 25
Height: 5' 5"
Weight: 73 kg
Miyura is a proud Seafarer. He loves the ocean and his playing style reflects that, with long sweeping runs, dancing around defenders like they aren't there. He is also a great goalscorer, racking up many goals in the Baptism of Fire.
11. CF - Lonnie Garza
Age: 23
Height: 5' 9"
Weight: 86 kg
Garza is the finisher. Crosses, long balls, he can finish. He has the highest goal count of the team, and he of widely regarded as the best player for the casual football fans, simply because they hear his name being yelled so many times in celebration.

SUBSTITUTES
1. DEF - Kin May
2. DEF - Kaden Sone
3. DEF - Rod Dalton
4. DEF - Bobby Fujita
5. MID - Sylvester Kano

Stadiums

Rising Sun Dome, Kobe (capacity, 18,000): The Rising Sun Dome is the home of Obrelan side Kobe City and the largest football ground in Obrela. Granted, it's not very big compared to other football grounds, but that shows you the scale. The stadium is almost an oval, with rounded sides to the rectangular shaped stands. It bears the colours of cream and black proudly, with the seats spelling out "Kobe" on one stand. There is standing room down by pitchside, and it transitions to sitting further up. Officially known as the Rising Sun Dome for sponsorship reasons, this is Obrela's most impressive ground.

Northgate Road, Chitti (capacity, 14,000) Northgate Road is one of the most loved football grounds in Obrela. Home to Chitti United, it has a certain air of cosiness to it on a brisk winter evening. Maybe it's the warm glow coming from the surrounding terraces, or the meaty taste of the fresh baked pies at halftime, but one thing is apparent, there has never been a conflict at Northgate Road.

Cloudwater Bridge, Jingzhong (capacity, 12,000) Cloudwater Bridge is a relatively new stadium, build to house Jingzhong County, affectionately known as the Ravens. It replaced the old ground on the other side of the river in 2014, and it seems to be a goodluck charm for them. Since moving into their new stadium, the Ravens have been on a winning streak. People have started referring to it as the "luck of Cloudwater" or the "Raven's wish." Whatever the reason, the home team always seem to get lucky and who knows? Maybe that luck will carry over to the Obrelans too.

LA SELECCIÓN SAGUAREÑA

Trigram: SGU
Nickname: "La Pomona" after their colors — the rich, dark green is known in Gran Saguaro as "Pomona Saguareña"
Denonym: Saguareño/a ("Saguaroan" or "Saguaran" makes you sound like a tourist but won't ruffle too many feathers)
Formation: 4-2-3-1
Manager: Felipe Machado

GENERAL CHARACTERISTICS

OFFENSE. Focused around the "spear point" duo of Solomon Odio, the aggressive offensive formation has its upsides and downsides. As a plus, it allows for rapid, forward-moving attacks out of almost thin air — before the other team can respond, five people are already upfield in a tightly coordinated pattern. Additionally, this formation reduces the need for risky, long passes; in an ideal situation, the center midfield acts as a transit hub for sending balls to any part of the field, with many options and less danger. The downside is that the formation is pretty rigid, at least the way Gran Saguaro plays it; if all becomes chaos, only a few players will be close enough to respond in time. This can mean a high rate of turnover by the offense and an inability to score from improvised, less than ideal situations — or more dangerously, an isolated, confused defense with no better options than to kick it out of bounds, regroup, and hope for the best.
DEFENSE. Gran Saguaro's biggest defensive problems look less likely to stem from a lack of player talent — they have that in spades — but the defense frequently looks stunted and disjointed, and their main goal is just to pass the ball to the midfielders rather than try to make plays from the back themselves. This stems partially from Gran Saguaro's soccer culture — which reveres and invests heavily in the offense, far more so than the defense. No little Saguareño dreams of being a great center-back — so the base of the formation is often ignored. That said, the Saguareño defense has been trying to figure out what works and get rid of what doesn't. Their hopes rest most on the experience and leadership of Toro Martínez, who reportedly forced his two younger side defenders to play paintball together as a duo against 20 people in order to build chemistry, and he has adapted their formation a little bit to make it more robust. In the even that the defense are able to play upwards, Lazaro Kirkman will de facto become a sweeper.
MIDFIELD. The midfield may be the most important part of Gran Saguaro's team. They are the largest in number — nearly half the team are midfielders — and serve as the core of the Saguareño formation. Expect the midfield to play a possession-heavy passing game among themselves, and if an attack falters out and Gran Saguaro needs to retreat — they'll more likely knock the ball back to Xoc and Gonzi rather than the defense. The biggest issue with the midfield is that it is bloated — in perfect synchronization, each piece would work together like a clock, but that almost certainly won't happen and if the midfield gets sloppy or frightened, there's a lot of opportunity for a turnover. Not to mention the relative inexperience of players like di Zappi and Xoc, the midfield is liable to make rookie mistakes. And that likelihood will only increase if the bench thins out due to injury; the Saguareño squad is not known for its depth.

MANAGER AND STAFF

A brutal shakeup of Gran Saguaro's coaching staff followed the team's embarrassing Baptism of Fire performance, where La Pomona failed to win a single game. Gualberto Andrade, the coach of powerful domestic club Mesa Rosa and previous manager of the national team, was tossed aside by the Ministry of Sport, leaving a coaching hole to be filled. While the next long-term coach is picked out, twenty-years-retired Felipe Machado, age 74, has been brought in for the interim. Machado managed the national team for almost two decades at its most successful point, but he represents an antiquated style of football and is certainly not known for his adaptability. Not to mention, La Pomona has never won a major international award in the modern era; this is quite a stage to make such an attempt. Machado did state that the style of play this team performed under Andrade will remain the same unless it begets similar results to the BOF run — he is loath to change up the formation or tactics, at least at this point. Machado brings with him Danilo McDoug, one of his own former players in the 2000s and now the director of the Ciudadela-San Armando youth academy, the nation's largest — he may even be a favorite for the permanent manager position, depending on how this tournament shakes out.

Assistant Coach: Danilo McDoug [interim]

-

DANTE CRUZ (#1, GK)
REAL NAME: Dante Cruz
CLUB: Ciudadela
FUN FACT: Cruz was born with six fingers on his right hand.
A product of Mesa Rosa's youth academy, 24-year old Cruz has become known for his lightning reflexes as well as for his field marshal-esque command of the defence. Dante Cruz's professional tenure at Ciudadela has been very successful since taking over the starting job three years ago — the ice in his veins helped the club secure the Copa Republicana last year in a penalty shootout against C.F.C. El Rancho.


FELIX FAROOQ (#3, RB)
REAL NAME: Felix Farooq
CLUB: Exploradores S.C. (on loan from D. Yerba Buena)
FUN FACT: Farooq became the first Muslim to start for Gran Saguaro after replacing Rillo in the BOF.
A Yerba Buena defender and technically skilled, Farooq is part of a young cohort transforming Yerba Buena into a rising football powerhouse. After Rillo performed below expectations in the Baptism of Fire, Felix Farooq was chosen to replace him; an awkward situation for the soon-to-be teammates. Farooq is young but levelheaded beyond his years, and he doesn't show the symptoms of his inexperience. Expect the defender to become a key part of La Pomona in the long term.

TORO MARTÍNEZ (#4, CB)
REAL NAME: Toro Martínez
CLUB: Ciudadela
FUN FACT: Martínez trained to be a professional boxer in his youth.
Toro Martínez is recognized as one of the best defenders of his generation in Saguareño football. Hulking and powerful yet surprisingly fast, Martínez's tactical discipline and big-picture understanding of the flow of the game made him a mentor to a number of other defenders, notably his protégé Adan Rodríguez, better known by the nickname "Torito". Martínez is now in his thirties, and nearing the twilight of his career — he has said that this World Cup will be his last. He is also a vice-captain of this team, and the defense's playmaker-in-chief.

LAZARO KIRKMAN (#5, CB/SW)
REAL NAME: Lazaro Kirkman
CLUB: Roja Amarillo
FUN FACT: Kirkman will shave his beard when Pimería is a state.
A stoic, intimidating center-back with a cannon for a leg and a very physical playstyle, Kirkman is the only player on the national team from the decorated and confusingly-named Roja Amarillo, a club located in the Barrio Amarillo neighborhood in San Armando, the Saguareño capital. Kirkman's role in a quite talented defense will be to plug the gaps — expect him to sit deep in Saguareño territory, even if the other three defenders move further upwards.

TORITO (#2, LB)
REAL NAME: Adan Rodríguez
CLUB: Olímpia
FUN FACT: Torito's jersey simply read "Rodríguez" until he left Ciudadela. He is one of very few footballers to change his jersey name mid-career.
A renowned tactician whose dynamic, aggressive style has been hailed as the "next wave" of Saguareño football, Torito started out on the reserve squad of Ciudadela. Frustrated with his lack of success in the beginning of his career, Torito's trajectory changed when top-level defender Toro Martínez took him under his wing — the youngster would excel at Ciudadela, appearing as a starter at only age 20. Torito became a cornerstone of the Ciudadela defense and Martínez's protégé. The fans gave him the moniker "Torito", an homage to his mentor, which he officially adopted by the time he broke out into national renown. In the offseason of this year, Torito left his longtime club for the struggling capital-based side Olímpia — and as Toro Martínez's career comes to a close, the Little Bull's peak is just beginning.

XOC (#13, DM)
REAL NAME: Xocatec Aguilar Choupa
CLUB: Deportes Yerba Buena
FUN FACT: Xoc grew up in an adobe pueblo house, in an indigenous village that has been continuously inhabited for hundreds of years.
Considered a very surprising selection for the national team, even more surprising is the fact that he has been capped to start the first game, according to the Saguareño manager. Nevertheless, nobody can deny the speed at which Xoc's star is rising. Unknown only a year ago, Xoc appeared suddenly on the squad of the fabled Native-only Copa B club Indíginas, where he (and fellow young national-teamer Yuan Rosado) led Indíginas to the promotion playoffs, only for them to lose in a controversial penalty match. Xoc became sort of internet famous for his incredible juggling skills, and he is able to play football in "three dimensions", avoiding tackles with aerial tricks and executing complicated shots off the ground. Xoc has been under fire for sloppy performances in the BOF, which led to more than one game-losing goals. Nevertheless, both Gualberto Andrade and Felipe Machado

GONZI (#6, DM)
REAL NAME: Gonzalo Gonzaga
CLUB: U.S. América
FUN FACT: .
A versatile player all over the midfield, few players have had as storied a list of clubs as Gonzi. It is said that he has worn every shirt in La Copa (a slight exaggeration), but all sporting the number six — Gonzi even passed up a contract at Ciudadela because six was already taken. A little bit difficult to work with, but quick and smart — Gonzi can fire passes on a dime, and nowhere is he more comfortable than the lower midfield.

JONAY (#19, LM)
REAL NAME: Jonay Palomo
CLUB: C.F. Mesa Rosa
FUN FACT: Jonay's distinctive afro-hawk hairstyle has caught on among younger teenagers in Gran Saguaro.
Another of many great Saguareño football players who grew up in poverty, Jonay started out in a seaside shanty of Lemmay, a northern factory town where his father assembled hubcaps. Jonay would play football with his older brothers as a boy, and demonstrated a natural aptitude for the sport; as a kid, he would play on the beach and in the city instead of going to class, and when Jonay was 11, he even joined his father's union's team. It was there, playing for U.C.F. Auto Dínamo Sport in an oversized employee's uniform, that Jonay was scouted by a mid-level recruiter from mediocre eastern side Exploradores S.C. who was visiting his brother. And Jonay's youth career was astonishing; he transferred to Copa B feeder club La Brea at 16 to gain first-team experience, until football behemoth C.F. Mesa Rosa bought out his contract. Jonay won the coveted Delgato Award for the best footballer under 21 as both a seventeen- and eighteen-year old, the first black player to do so twice (and only the fourth ever) — admittedly, the expectations for his senior career may have been unreasonably high, but Jonay does not seem anymore to be the future superstar that he once did; nevertheless, it's undeniable that his handling, wit, and speed make for a deadly combination.

ORLO DI ZAPPI (#10, AM)
REAL NAME: Orlando Raymond di Zappi
CLUB: Ciudadela
FUN FACT: Di Zappi breeds designer snakes as a hobby, which can fetch upwards of 100,000 ₱S, or roughly 5,000 NSD.
Di Zappi's rookie year breakout is held up by quite a large roadblock; Solomon Odio. The two of them play together as a forward duo in Ciudadela, and di Zappi can't help but be overshadowed. Brought up from Ciudadela's reserve squad only this year in the absence of Ramses Molón, a veteran forward who refused his international duty and transferred to Ciu archrivals Rojo Amarillo, di Zappi looks to be a star ready to shine — once Odio is out of his way. Young and technically skilled, there is speculation that if di Zappi doesn't get the spotlight in Ciudadela, he won't wait around much longer. A start on the national team is not a bad way to boost his stock.

SERGIO DAYTON (#7, RM)
REAL NAME: Sergio Dayton
CLUB: U.D. Moab
FUN FACT: Dayton is a Mormon, which is totally unrelated to his contract at U.D. Moab. Not very many fans of other clubs believe that, however...
Nearing his seventh year at U.D. Moab, Sergio Dayton is a fixture of Saguareño football (he appeared on the cover of iSport's Copa del SLAM™ 16, 18, and 21). He is small, quick, and wiry, and has proved able to command an offense from the right wing; Dayton has taken U.D. Moab to a Copa victory twice, and to the finals twice more. On the Saguareño squad he is a vice-captain alongside Toro Martínez, likely to become very intimate with the defense given Gran Saguaro's aggressive, spearlike formation.

SOLOMON ODIO (#9, ST)
REAL NAME: Solomon Odio
CLUB: Ciudadela
FUN FACT: Odio has led two Copa B teams into promotion in his career while recuperating from injuries.
By consensus, Solomon Odio is the greatest football player in Gran Saguaro. Odio is clinical and cold; he sees games like they're just another practice drill, weaving through cones and nailing the ball into a pinpoint location in the goal. The most decorated Saguareño footballer currently playing, Odio's professional career began with since-relegated Club Satiyape at only 15 — he won the Delgato at 17, and made his first international appearance the same year in a friendly. Since then, Odio's career has blown up on a massive scale. Known for his collected demeanor and intense focus, Odio does not talk to anybody else during a match, except when making a game-related call; he has also won eight Copas and signed the most expensive contract in Saguareño athletic history, a 2.5 billion ₱S (133 million NSD) transfer to Ciudadela in 2017. Though he is already 32, Odio has made no implications towards retirement — in fact, it is rumored that he wants to play for a club abroad. The captain. Odio missed much of the Baptism of Fire due to an early ankle injury, but is expected to fully recover by the time of the World Cup.

NOTABLE RESERVES

Yuan Rosado is a 20-year-old midfielder — another star of Indíginas like Xoc (though they did not play together), his career has been frustratingly below expectations. Many believed he could be a breakout star, and even a Delgato contender — Rosado has not looked like either of those, which makes him bitter and jealous, especially of Xoc. In the offseason, Rosado transferred from Moab to take the lead role at Misión Real.

A left-back in Mesa Rosa, Hidalgo McCormick is more known for his effusiveness than his talent. Nevertheless, McCormick also played for Indíginas — although he is not Native, he was born on the Diné State Union Territory, which grants him eligibility. At Indí, McCormick befriended Xoc — and he is more than thrilled about playing alongside his friend in the national colors.

A veteran of the defense, this is not Diego MacQueen's first selection for La Pomona. His playstyle is cautious and methodical — not suited for the rapid attack development that Andrade plans to implement. MacQueen is thought to be the "understudy" for Toro Martínez — in case Martínez in injured, there is no one more suited to take command. Diego MacQueen is also a 2374-ranked chess master, but it is speculated that the number of headers he takes is steadily lowering his rating.

Enrique Chong also plays for Yerba Buena — Chong is short and quick, and a versatile player most at home anywhere in the midfield. He wears number 80, the highest in the squad. Chong is likely to be swapped for Jonay or di Zappi, but his chances for a World Cup start took a hit after his poor performance in the Baptism of Fire, where he served as the replacement for Solomon Odio after an injury.

Hailing from the famous but impoverished Barrio Amarillo in Gran Saguaro's capital, Rillo debuted for Gran Saguaro internationally as a teenager in the U18 team, and would play at a senior level for Lago Pequeño at age 19. He was bought by C.F.C. El Rancho not long after, and is scheduled to start a loan to Deportes Yerba Buena after national duty ends. A BOF starter, his subpar performance means that he was swapped for future teammate Felix Farooq in the latter half of the tournament and won't be starting on the World Cup squad.

Quick Info
Archalit is located in the Pacific region. Its capital is Charkara, which sits nicely in its center. The nation prides itself on its welfare (which comes with its heavy taxation), its employment rate, and its healthcare, among other things. The powerful Archalitian economy is entirely socially planned and is mostly made up of Information Technology, Tourism, and Book Publishing among others. The nation contains a population of 6.364 billion and has a lot of talent buried within it.

The nation is a “Pirate’s Kingdom”, renowned for the practice of piracy being fully legalized in the nation, a total anomaly to its otherwise pacifist and compassionate policies.

In terms of football, the state is completely amateur. Archalit hasn’t competed in any major sporting event in its history and has only shown intrigue in the world of sports very recently. However, it has been able to pull together a team of its strongest players to compete in the World Cup.

Archalit Olympic Stadium (95000)
This is an absolutely gargantuan stadium, suitable to accomodate the tens of thousands of fans piling in from across Archalit to get a glimpse of the team's play in action. It's the default training grounds for virtually all Archalitian athletes at the top level, as well as the Charkara Royals for the upcoming Opasna League.

For comparison, rosters from WC91 and IAC17.

Image

Nation: Montaña Verde
Trigram: MVE
Adjective/demonym: Verdean
Team nickname: Condors

Coach: Tobías Dávalos (77)
Assistant coach: Image Iahan Alphand (59)

Another managerial change after another dismal World Cup qualifying and a relatively modest return at the IAC. Édgar Arboleda may have taken the Junior Condors to the Di Bradini Cup semifinals but he couldn’t do much at the senior level and has been jettisoned. If you’re keeping count (you’re not) that’s the sixth Condors coach in as many World Cups.

After looking to youth, the FMVdF has gone in… the other direction. Not that a few gray hairs stopped Dávalos taking unheralded Scunthorpe de Puyevier to back-to-back Campeanato titles! He might not be sprinting the touchlines but the tiny wizened ancient is full of wisdom. Not afraid to try inventive new formations and never a slave to big egos, his appointment should mean that qualifying will at the very least not be boring.

Iahan Alphand of Secuaz de la Muerte [Oberour Ar Moro], whose 10 years of management experience have seen him go from the highs of taking Hibernus to the A-Division championship in his very first season, to most recently being fired from B-Division Naucratis, remains in role as assistant manager.


Squad: This is a longlist. It can generally be assumed the players number 1 – 11 will start except for Osito will retain 7 but be a sub only, 12 – 26 be matchday squad reserves, and unnumbered players be back-up reserves; but there will be a certain amount of rotation. So long as you’re sensible and unless I’ve RPed otherwise, you can RP my team lineup with some variation.
  • Men and women play together in Montaña Verde. To avoid pronoun confusion, female players are marked in pink.
  • The league is fairly new as a result of restructuring following independence, but many of the clubs date back decades and have entrenched traditions and rivalries.
  • Fútbol is a tremendously popular sport in the country, rivalling Catholicism for the national religion, but limited overseas exposure means the standard is not especially high.
  • Speaking of not being especially high, Montaña Verde is one of the shortest [human] populations in the world. While there are one or two tall players, in general men and women are very short.
  • Players are not egregiously dirty in terms of violence or deliberate fouling, but enjoy a good tactical dive now and then.
  • The bolded name or “nickname” should be used when referring to players and staff.
  • All players are domestic unless otherwise stated. While I normally conduct transfers through the Transfer Window, if you wish to sign one of my players they are usually available, especially if it links to an RP arc. Send a TG/DM to ask.

Goalkeepers:

1. Moises Luque (24) – Deportivo Zaracas
12. Benito Venegas “Ingeniero” (23) – Santa Margarita Riopel
23. Nora Paz Yepes (24) – Olimpia La Limana
XX. Miguel “Mico” Coronil (30) – Image Habasfan

By far the biggest call made by Dávalos is his jettisoning of Dolfo, long considered the automatic numero uno, after one too many tournament marked by sloppy errors and poor ball skills. Neither Moises nor Ingeniero have Dolfo’s height or reach, both being modestly sized by international standards, but both are superior with the ball at their skills and adept shot-stoppers. They will compete to take over, although fans will no doubt be crying for Dolfo’s return should it not work out.

Right backs:

2. Oscar Taciano Oquendo Alcalá (30) – Universidad de Montaña Verde
14. Maximiliano Rasgado Palau (24) – Image Schudvík
XX. Luisa Ocampo “Carabalava” (27) – Deportivo Zaracas

The seismic changes don’t stop with Dolfo. Roberto Dylan was meant to be the future of Verdean fútbol; instead, after his “auto-pen” controversy, the wing-back finds himself banned, and in his place, Dávalos has turned to the workmanlike Alcalá, long a NT fringe/reserve but never considered a serious contender to start. Solidly built and a capable defender who can cover either full-back role, but lacking the pace and skills of traditional Verdean wing-backs. “So I’ll bid farewell and be down the road,” Roberto Dylan gruffly reflected on his ban, but there may be a way back if the FMVdF repeals their decision. Maximiliano is a more attacking option with some flair, but is quite raw.

Left backs:

6. Juan Diego Lucián Juderías (29) – Olimpia La Limana
16. Adriana Monserrat del Pozo (22) – Scunthorpe de Puyevier
XX. Justin Pedroza Sierra (34) – free agent

…and the changes keep coming, and a big one at that, as Justin – long considered one of the best players in the team if perhaps never quite living up to that billing through a mixture of recurrent injuries and disciplinary issues makes way for the next generation. He’s still around, but with his contract not being renewed by Brenecian side Lotus Park his best days are clearly behind him and his role is probably going to involve more dispensing wisdom to the youngsters than actually seeing the field. Juderías has actually got quite a lot of experience, having frequently had to fill in during Justin’s absences; he’s not an exciting player, but he can get the job done at both ends of the pitch, for now. Adriana is a little more creative and exciting.

Center backs:

3. Sebastián Gayoso Cambeiro (26) – Calequén
4. Armando “Mandito” Curbelo Rodríguez (27) – América de Santa Margarita de Yacuija – Vice-Captain
13. Mercedes Fernandino (29) – Olimpia La Limana
21. Juan Diego Venegas (31) – Requista Boys
26. Valentín “Tíntín” del Pozo (24) – Image FK Shkosan

Another interesting call as there’s no place for vice-captain Arquímedes. This change is a little less dramatic, though, as it had been widely anticipated that the DBC pairing of Cambeiro and Mandito would eventually be reunited. Neither are skyscrapers and by international standards really short, Cambeiro especially, but both have excellent ball skills and can bring the ball up as capably as midfielders, while both are fit and relentless tacklers. So long as the ball’s on the ground they’re a solid pairing. Tíntín is a more typically aggressive bruiser, and quiffs his hair up with gel, but is too short to worry about messing it up with ever reaching a header. Mercedes and Juan Venegas are slightly surprising call-ups as neither was massively on the national radar, but reflect Dávalos’s faith in the Campeanato as an incubator of talent.

Holding midfielders:

5. Marcos “Coco” Fernán (27) – Image Kingsbury United
8. Naomí Schutzán (24) – Image Adab United
15. Cristobal Elizondo “Cristo” Díaz (30) – Image Ezriquay United FC
24. Israel Pardo Ureña (22) – Santa Margarita Riopel
25. Abigaíl “Abi” Bustamante Adame (27) – Image Sherwood Forest Ladies FC

At last some reassuring permanence, as there’s no sign of shifting Coco and Schutzán. Even their back-ups, Cristo Díaz and Abi, are the same (though young phenom Israel is new). Of the two, Coco is a more traditional defensive midfielder though he’s very capable with the ball at his feet and isn’t just an enforcer; Schutzán is a fabulous long deep-lying playmaker with wonderful vision and passing ability. Cristo Díaz is a hard working presser who’ll run himself box-to-box offloading short passes and putting in the physical touch needed. Abi is a more traditional defensive midfielder, tough-tackling and very fit, less skilled at distribution.

Attacking midfielders:

10. Thomás “Primitivo” Ceballos Cantú (30) – Image Montfort Wanderers – Captain
11. Aramis Navarro Najera (27) – Image CSKA Quebec
17. Camilo Galán Muñoz (28) – Calequén
19. Absalom Covarrubias (21) – Universidad de Montaña Verde
20. Tatiano Zayas Díaz (27) – Image Clayton City SC
XX. Emma Narváez (33) – Francisco Teixidó
XX. Voltaire Hernandez (19) – Sporting Mabar

The spine of the midfield also remains the same. Aramis will tend to drift into a central role, distributing and bringing the ball forward to open up rapid attacks, and is capable of playing a physical role, slotting in just behind Primitivo. There’s nothing “primitive” about the play of the midfield general, who after some decent years in Chromatika has moved on to The Licentian Isles. Bigger than most of his teammates, his strong physicality can be deceptive as he has a silky touch off both feet. And watch out for his wicked curling strikes if there’s a free-kick in the vicinity of goal. Camilo is mainly a winger, and Covarrubias is another wide player with speed and energy, if not always direction on his crosses, while Tatiano is an excellent playmaker who lacks a really good finishing touch. The most exciting talent on the roster is the mysterious Voltaire Hernandez, an enigmatic talent who’s burst onto the scene only in the last season.

Forwards:

9. Clementino Ezequiel “Tino” Velásquez Casares (27) – Image Straton FC – 3rd Captain
18. Inhué Fernandino Indiano (30) – Sporting Mabar
22. Semarias “Monaguillo” Veliz (25) – Olimpia La Limana
7. Teodosio “Osito” Orellana Cerda (29) – Image St Warren City FC
XX. Simón Maestas (26) – Requista Boys
XX. Hector “Halcón” Alarcón (22) – Image AOPIC Greens

Of all the changes Dávalos has wrought, none are bigger than this one: dropping Osito. The all-time leading goal scorer for the Condors, and not just the most famous and popular player on the team, but probably the most famous and popular person from the entire country. Dropping him altogether would induce riots so (for now) he is just moving to the bench. A huge target man, it’s still not entirely clear he’s not two regular sized Verdeans wearing a trenchcoat; he’s a natural goal-scorer but his game has aged poorly, no longer a big strong guy and really just a big slow guy. Rumors abound he failed a fitness test, incurring Dávalos’s wrath. He can still be a useful target for crosses and set-pieces when brought on as a substitute. Of the other forwards, Indiano is a small, scrappy fighter; Tino a more complete forward than either but primarily a goal-scorer without much interest in assisting others; Monaguillo is a pacy winger.

The Aleirave Football Association
Baptism of Fire LXXVIII Champions
Roster for World Cup XCIII
Image

OOC: All players in blue are ethnically Klysevian, all players in red are native Aleiravan.

The island nation of Aleirave is a rather small one, with a population of barely 50 thousand, somewhere in Anaia. Where in Anaia is somewhat up to interpretation, but it's there, we know that.

The nation of Aleirave was originally founded by Fyodor Tereyev, who was a puteshestvennik (or "traveller") from Klysevia, about 350 years ago. His descendants ruled the island up until the year 2023, when Alexandr Tereyev was shot and killed by a lone gunman in a peaceful protest. Since then, the island has been ruled as an Special Administrative Unit of Eshialand, effectively acting as its own democratic nation within a nation.

Recent history for the Seagulls has been... mixed at best. After their 10th place finish at CAFA Cup IV, (which 73% of the over-65 population are still convinced was caused exclusively by the weird format the Ko-orenite host bid used and not at all by the team's own faults), it was abundantly obvious that something would have to change. Instead, they got 7[sup]th[/th] out of 11 in their World Cup XCII Qualifying group. At least they took a win against Turori? Eh, not even that bright note can salvage the emotional damage caused to this team and the island they inhabited by that delightfully mid run.

So, there was an ultimatum. Top 4 in CAFA Cup V, or Haulafo Paka'ula loses his job? And you know what? He managed exactly that, as the team got their second fourth-place finish in three years. Was it what they wanted? Well, it could've been better, but all things considered it was pretty okay. Enough to send the team's hopes for World Cup XCIII Qualifying... well not high, just kinda like a storefront awning. Not high above your head, but it keeps you safe from the rain.

Now, with a new logo that totally wasn't made by Haulafo in half an hour using MS Paint, and new dreams that are kinda like the old ones but this time with 50% less salt, this team is ready for whatever the next twenty-two football matches might send their way. Maybe. Possibly. Stay Tuned™.

Nickname: the Seagulls
Trigram: ALR

First international: Audioslavia 4-0 Aleirave (CAFA II)
First win: Aleirave 6-3 Space Laser Dinosaur Robot Pirate Land (CAFA III)
Best win: Aleirave 6-0 Unpleasant (BoF LXXVIII)
Worst loss/Most goals against: Audioslavia 4-0 Aleirave (CAFA II)
Most goals for: Aleirave 6-3 Space Laser Dinosaur Robot Pirate Land (CAFA III), Aleirave 6-0 Unpleasant (BoF LXXVIII), Caribbia 3-6 Aleirave (BoF LXXVIII)
Highest-scoring match: Aleirave 6-3 Space Laser Dinosaur Robot Pirate Land (CAFA III), Caribbia 3-6 Aleirave (BoF LXXVIII)

Home pitch: A field just outside Lahaira (capacity: 100)
One of the few grassy patches on the whole island will be the site of the Seagulls' home matches. It isn't much, but you'll be on a tropical island!

Coach: Haulafo PAKA'ULA (M, 55)
Given the political situation in Aleirave, Coach Paka'ula was not supposed to form this team. His grand scheme when he decided to craft this team was to show that natives could be just as good at football as the Klysevians, and that the two could work together in an international competition. President Tereyev flatly denied Haulafo's request to start the team, so he did what any normal person would do and assembled the team anyway.

All my posts are IC unless I either explicitly say so or they're on NSG.

Sidenote, if I'm posting on NSG, DM me to make sure if I'm alright. Something's probably gone wrong for me.

About the Manager



Shane Newman is a Baker Park born, who took the chance to become the first NT boss for Havynwilde with an understanding that he would have time & resources to build from scratch. He was hounded by negative media coverage, the unrealisitc expectations of supporters & the governing body, and no investment to correct the dearth of talent in the domestic league. He was unceremoniously fired while out of the country on holiday. He'll consider his time there a learning experience. Was the chief defensive architect for the BPNT in the first three WC cycles.Aged 49 and married with three children--a boy and two girls--he will look to the domestic league for talent by focusing on technique, pace, and positional flexibility.


The Playing XI



#1 Steve Leghorn (Goalkeeper)
Steve Leghorn, that name when spoken in Indusse creates a legendary vibe. If anyone asks an Indussean who's your favourite goalkeeper, they would say without wasting a second that it's none other than Steve. Steve is well known due to his performance and his charitable trust. He's a well known figure in the nation who could be a political mastermind. He started his career in Trau de Mongers FC, a local football club in Southbay which soon died after his transfer. His quality performance in the club got him a direct ticket to Southbay Riveria FC B team and soon into the main team.

Home Ground


The Aditya Varma Kulashekara International Stadium, is home to the Flocking Blues and is the largest sports stadium in the nation. The Aditya Varma Kulashekara International Stadium can hold 131,561 spectators in normal cases. The most attendance recorded for an event in the stadium was 148,241 spectators. This historical event happened long before the current stadium had been built. The former stadium known as IFA International Stadium had just a capacity of 108,112 and the event was the Sworn-in of Baskar H Kumar as the first president of the Indusse. In other words, the sworn in was also the same as the nation's independence day. The most spectators for a match was recorded as 118,232 spectators for a match between Indusse and Pratapgadh which was once a derby match.
Image

This Stadium was built first by Aditya Varma Kulashekara, the emperor of Indusse at his reign. The stadium was built as part of giving the Indussean Football Association, a home ground. The Stadium at its beginning had a capacity of 62,122 spectators and was later increased to 97,783. The Stadium also in the past hosted the home matches of Royal Hind City FC (Currently, New Hind City FC) and Hind United FC (Currently dissolved). The Hind United FC got dissolved into Royal Hind City FC and the club through enough funding brought some land near the Darbar Halls and built a stadium there which currently serves as their home ground and the nation's secondary home ground. The IFA Stadium was built close to the Hind River and was surrounded by small forests. The place then known to be Kadaathaaaru was chosen for the stadium, the name literally meant to be "Forest River". The stadium continued to host the nation's home matches until the IFA was disbanded after the invasion of the Islamic Conquerors. The Dari Sultanate rulers took over the nation and placed a ban on all sort of native entertainment including music and sports. The stadium was taken under the custody of the Dari Military and was converted into a arena to propagate Dari Propoganda. The Stadium was renamed as Neimat Abdullah Arena and the capacity was increased to 108,112. The Neimat Abdullah Arena also became the public execution grounds of Natives in Indusse. The Dari Supressed Native Freedom Fighters were beheaded, hanged and shot dead at these grounds. After the Independence, the stadium was renamed as IFA Stadium and held the nation's first independence day celebrations. After a few years, it was renamed to Aditya Varma Kulashekara International Stadium and the capacity was increased to 131,561. The Government then also decided to set up a monument for the natives who were killed by the supression. The Divya Azadi Stambh (Divine Freedom Pillar) located in the stadium complex is the so called monument. This Pillar is an important part of the nation's independence day celebrations.

Cabo Azure National Football Team "Las Maçaricas"


Starting XI
#		Corte-Real					
Cardoso Silveira Gouveia

Rathbone Maciel

de Lima Branco
Medeiro Moniz
Gomez

The Gaffer
The manager of CSKA Quebec, AJ Zanetti was hired on a part-time basis as a cost-saving measure by the FAF. A visionary young manager with huge shoes to fill following the death of the legendary Paulinho.
Goalkeepers
GK Ambrosio Gomez 24 y/o Olympic Thessia (MYT)
A good all-round keeper, seasoned by his time in Mytanija. Earned the starting role during World Cup qualifying and is expected to keep it until he retires or falls out of favor.

GK Zezé Sapateiro 21 y/o Miruan City FC (TKT)
Recently signed to a Tikariotian side as a backup, will likely be a backup for the national team for the foreseaable future

GK Vicente Leitao 24 y/o Port Tacassam FC (TKT)
An unheralded shot-stopper who has come into his own playing in the incredibly unforgiving environment of the Tikariot Premier League. Recently transferred to Port Tacassam FC in the TPL, where he will look to replace OAM international Ollulier de Luc as starting keeper.

Defenders
RB Amilcar Branco 28 y/o Dhun Lagarr FC (TKT)
The Maçaricas’ undisputed starting right back, and one of its best players. A pacy fullback with the speed and skill to contribute on offense, he has evolved into an every-game starter not only for the .Maçaricas, but his club team as well, making him one of the few Azureans to have such an impact overseas.

LB Ademar de Lima 26 y/o Sao Vicente
Originally a carbon copy of Branco, the left back de jure has evolved into more of a stay-at-home fullback than his counterpart, though he is no slouch going forward. A consistent all-league XI selection in the Liga Hidalgo Primer.

FB Heitor Soares 24 y/o Blackheath (TLI)
A pacey, athletic wingback not at all in the Azurean vein, Soares goes by the mononym "Bandicoot" when plying his trade in the Licentian Isles. Currently working to break into the starting XI both at Blackheath and for the Macaricas

FB Marcelinho Costa 27 y/o Regium Immortum (OAM)
Though he lacks the panache of his peers, Costa is a tough-tackling, canny fullback who makes smart passes up field and terrorizes attackers in his own third. Currently starts for Regium Immortal in Oberour Ar Moro.

CB Adão Moniz 27 y/o Reschensreppur (GRF)
An agile, harrying centerback making his way in a league dominated by “Big F*cking Grantfjallers”, Moniz was a fixture for the Azureans in qualifying and continues to improve.

CB Deodato Medeiro 28 y/o Marine Coast United (VIL)
Despite not having the size or bruising physique that Azureans generally prefer in their centerbacks, Medeiro has exceeded all expectations playing in the top flight of Villita, finding himself in conversation for end-of-season awards. A locked-in starter.

CB Emilio Couto 23 y/o Regiis Dreamland (BRO)
A big, scary centerback who does not shy from contact or yellow cards, Couto provides compact defense in clutch situations. Presently starting on mid-table Regiis Dreamland in Brookstation.

CB Donato Brandão 25 y/o SC Lagos (BOL)
Lacks the physical gifts of his older brother Kevin or Moniz or Medeiro, but a technically proficient centerback who makes few mistakes. Currently starts for SC Lagos, among the best Bollonichsian twins in the Twin Premier League.

CB Tobias M'bah-Pinho 23 y/o St. John's Arsenal (QUE)
A versatile, Quebec-raised centerback, likely to see play on a rotational basis. Currently plays for St. John's Arsenal in his native Quebec.

Midfielders
CM Narciso Maciel 26 y/o Colonial Sile (VIL)
A composed, intelligent player with great distribution and off-ball movement. A true general to anchor the midfield who's taken root in the Vilitan Premier League

MF Seth Rathbone 23 y/o Portelo
A consistent, creative center-mid who has continued to achieve for the national team while playing domestically.

MF Emmanuel Bastos 21 y/o Honeybadgers (EUR)
A well-rounded midfielder known for having four lungs and being able to play most positions reasonably well, though not excelling in any. Currently plying his trade in Brookstation.

MF Marco Lobo 24 y/o Villa Silva
A holding midfielder who's likely reached his level playing domestically, but nevertheless a solid defensive option and a good like-for-like substitute with Maciel where one is needed.

MF Rolando Florencio 24 y/o Plastinagrade (ZRH)
A good all-round midfielder, without any strengths or weaknesses that stand out. Earns his first senior callup this cycle, currently sitting the bench for Campionato Esportiva de Campeones runners-up Platinastigrade.

MF Telmo Andrade 21 y/o Küsbon Town (CAD)
A fast-thinking, accurate-passing holding mid who has yet to live up to his potential. Was unfortunately relegated with his club in Cardenao, but looks to be a major player in their bounceback campaign.

Forwards
FW Cleto Silveira (C) 28 y/o Cathyr Emeralds (TKT)
After a few lackluster seasons for club and country, Silveira has reasserted himself as the team's #1 striker through his dominant play in the competitive Tikiariotan domestic competition. Recently transferred to Eivora Athletic in Tikariot.

FW Vasco Gouveia 26 y/o Tikariot City FC (TKT)
Quite a polarizing player, as some deem him a poacher for padding his stats with go-ahead goals in meaningless matches, while others point to his impressive assist record to show he contributes in other ways. Recently moved from Tikariot City to newly-promoted TPL side Khalgarh Valley FC, where he has sought to keep the Stripes out of the relegation zone

FW Vasco Cardoso 23 y/o Mountainside (EUR)
A quick, agile, athletic striker, Cardoso is known mainly for his workrate and low quotient of mistakes, in many ways a foil to the other of "Os Dos Vascos". Currently plying his trade for mid-table Mountainside in Eura, where he was on the ballot for Young Player of the Season.

FW Nicodemo Corte-Real 24 y/o Corn Palace (SFD)
A tall, archetypical center forward, Corte-Real has proved to be one of Cabo Azure's greatest success stories after moving abroad at the age of 17. Currently starting for Corn Palace in the Sanford PREMIER League after leading them to their first league title in club history.

FW Pio Mendonça 22 y/o CSKA Quebec (QUE)
A pacy, consistent striker, Pio was the subject of the biggest transfer fee in Azurean history when he moved to Swangard last season. Still starting at Swangard Athletic in the QPL.

With four World Cup participations, including one Round of 16 appearance, Tikariot has been part of the rising Rushmorean sub-region of Pavola. After a whole slew of first knock-out-stage exits, Copa Rushmori 42 turned into what the whole nation hopes to be the turning point in their fates when they beat their neighbours and rivals of Græntfjall in the final for their first victory in a big tournament. Now the Snowy Owls are trying to carry over this momentum into the qualification to the World Cup 93.

Image
The fans of the Snowy Owls also deserve particular mention. Not only are they renowned for their chants, but they are also bringing the Thunder Clap (Click here for example) to the stadium, something that the players join in as a pre-game ritual that has left an impression on the opponents and opposing fans more than once (OOC: similar to the Haka of the New Zealand All Blacks). The players will form a triangle near the kick-off circle and lift their arms, which the fans do as well. Then a lone drum will start to signal the rhythm and both players and fans alike will move in unison, each clap accompanied by a loud cry, the claps (and cries) speeding up, creating an overwhelming sense of impending doom.

Image
Brian McAllister - 48 Image
After having been assistant to now former coach Stuart Ekstrom, Brian McAllister made the move to Sargossa and enjoyed a lot more success than his former mentor, having two Copa Rushmori victories under his belt, so with the expiration of his contract in Sargossa and Ekstrom's dismissal after the disappointing string of results aligning, the timing was perfect for McAllister to return to his native country in the driver's seat. While generally a proponent of the same flexible 4-3-3 setup that Ekstrom had almost perfected to a point and that has not changed during his Sargossan employment, the Copa Rushmori saw a successful one-off experiment with a 4-4-2 line-up, for the WCQ92 and the Copa Rushmori 42 the Snowy Owls return to the 4-3-3, but chances are that they might morph into a 4-4-2 every now and then to add even more unpredictability.

Squad for World Cup 93


GOALKEEPERS
## Position Name                        Age Club
1 G Constance Creighton 26 Shamrock Cathair
22 G Curipurinho 26 AC Izotz Zubia
25 G Tor Zorola 22 KT Moreazerua
Audioslavian goalkeepers tend to be wild-eyed heretics, preaching forbidden sermons from the Gospel According to Saint Get Rid Of It Then?!. Audioslavians are a short, mean people, meaning your average goalie is about 6'1 max and more likely to punch crosses to safety rather than risk going for a catch. Current number one Creighton is 5'11 and stocky, quieter than usual but making up for volume shortcomings with his heavy use of violent sexual imagery when shouting. Audioslavia is a solid 6/10 for goalkeepers.

Centre Halves
## Position Name                        Age Club
2 D RC Everton Bolding 26 Sabrefell Moths
5 D C Archer Flat 36 Southfell United
6 D C Obadele Volonte 33 Directus
15 D C Sandy Harkness 25 Shamrock Cathair
Audioslavian centre halves are also tall by local standards (5'10 - 6'2) but in international football are often lacking a bit of power compared to their opposite numbers. The tall, rangy Volonte is an exception here. Assured on the ball if occasionally lacking in concentration, Volonte offers the opposite service to that of Flat, the scarred, evil ginger super villain who always seems just as likely to give up a yellow card for blowing up the moon and scattering the opposing strikers with meteor shrapnel than via tugging someone's shirt. Audioslavians are 6/10 for centre-halves.

Full Backs
## Position Name                        Age Club
3 D/M L Hernán Mata-Curie 26 1830 Cathair
13 D L Carles Mendiolagaray 26 KT Moreazerua
21 D/M R Olavo Larrea 27 AC Izotz Zubia
26 D R Alessandro Merola 30 Lotus Park
Although historically a 9/10 position for Audioslavian teams, the current 'Post-Tiago Brown' era of full-backs aren't quite up to the usual standard. Mata-Curie has been bombing up and down the flanks for 1830 Cathair and the National Team for as long as anyone can remember, and Olavo Larrea has held a place down at AC Izotz Zubia for a few seasons, but neither are quite the diminutive six-lunged slaloming firecracker you'd expect at 2 and 3. Alaba may even opt to go for Everton Bolding at right-back for a little more solidity - the muscular 5'10 defender isn't afraid to get forward, but at the end of the day is more of a wandering centre half than your average Audioslavian full-back - a winger that can stay sober long enough to remember to pay his taxes.

Defensive Midfielders
## Position Name                        Age Club
4 DM C Iker Munir 24 AC Izotz Zubia
16 DM C Lucas Keir 26 Shamrock Cathair
20 DM C Iñigo Higgs 25 Cazadores Cathair
Alaba's insistence on having a versatile, all-action DM at Zozi has rubbed off on the national team, who tend to select at least three in each squad. Higgs is generally accepted as being the better of these three, but Alaba trusts Munir to play the water-carrier more than he does Higgs to play the spoiler. Bulls teams are typically 6/10 for defensive midfielders. For information on what happens when a nation of shithouses produces top quality defensive midfielders, please consult our entry on Brenecian Midfielders, which you might find under the subheading of Major National League Imports

Central Midfielders
## Position Name                        Age Club
8 M C Unai Cappadonna 28 AC Izotz Zubia
17 M C Yuriorkis Stelea 31 KT Itzalovalle
18 D/M C Reuben Corkhill 29 KT Moreazerua
24 M C Haarlem Routh 25 Osarese Marcadia
Audioslavian football is always a bit 4/10 for central midfielders. Each of these four is a seasoned National League starter for some of the biggest teams in the country, but aside from having a big old engine and a knack for being the shoutiest player on the pitch, none of these are the guy the team relies on. Cappadonna is the playmaker, Stelea the box-to-box engine room, 6'1 powerhouse Corkhill the metronome, Routh the Guy Who Fills A Hole If Your Team Doesn't Have A Brenecian CM

Wingers
## Position Name                        Age Club
7 M R Briareo Asaguirreiturri 27 KT Ferramendiak
11 M CL Inigo Brandão 28 KT Itzalovalle
14 M L Marc-Antoine Trigintillion 18 Shamrock Cathair
23 D/M RL Orson MacGowan 21 Shamrock Cathair
Typically a 10/10 position for the Bulls, what with the national team's historical insistence on playing a counter-attacking game, the current crop are either completely untested Trigintillion and MacGowan aren't even first choice at Shamrock) or not quite in the Audioslavian mould. Briareo was born and raised in Chromatika and therefore is much calmer and better at passing than any Audioslavian should have any right to be, while Brandäo has been insisting on playing in the centre of midfield for so long that many scratch their heads when he's given the Eleven shirt.

Forwards
## Position Name                        Age Club
9 F C Wilhelm Zendagorta 26 Cazadores Cathair
10 F C Helios Roy 24 Raynor City United
12 F C Julho Viscondessas 28 AC Izotz Zubia
19 F C Danil Lanziego 27 Osarese Marcadia
Audioslavian strikers are often solid 8/10s, and will almost always be listed with the numbers 9, 10, 12 and 19. Nobody really remembers why. Either way, Roy and Zendagorta are the main attractions here. The former won the league with Osarius Marcadia and now plies his trade for the Rawrcrush Cinematic Universe - with whom he knocked his old club out of the most recent IFCF Champions League - while you may have seen Wilhelm Hielscher-Zendagorta in an S+T shirt. Half Audioslavian, half Teus, WHZ just goes by the Audioslavian of his two names for the national team. Roy is the finisher, Zendagorta the all-action striker. Oh, and each of these 'strikers' is typically listed as an 'AM/F', but if *all four* of them count as that then... maybe that just says something about Audioslavian football.

A possible starting eleven


Potted history
  • Audioslavia reached the finals of World Cups 12, 19, 20 and 29, losing all of them and gaining a reputation as a team that chokes.
  • After thirty cycles away, Audioslavia returned to win the Baptism of Fire before World Cup 59, won the AOCAF Cup in cycle 60 and then won back-to-back World Cups in cycles 63 and 64. That's the golden generation right there.
  • Things went back to normal after that. The side lost a few more major finals, including World Cups 67, 69 and 76.
  • Audioslavia reached consecutive semi-finals in the World Cup before catastrophically failing to qualify for World Cups 91 and 92. Victory in CAFA Cup 3 and cycle 91's Cup of Harmony offset this disappointment, but it wasn't enough for former manager RJ Styrn to keep her job.
  • Audioslavia is one of two nations to have won five major senior titles - BoF, CoH, WC plus two different regional championships. Whether the side are the fourth or fifth team to win the WCC Grand Slam depends on whether the CoH83 final happened before or after World Cup 91 final. YMMV.
  • Recently discovered in the history books: A regional tournament for the now-defunct FIFA region, held before World Cup 28. Audioslavia won this tournament, but do not consider it to be an official regional title unless Nepharans are in the room.
  • Until recently, the side held both the CAFA Cup and the WCC Cup of Harmony simultaneously. Audioslavians had the absolute nerve to use the definite article when calling this 'The Double'

Style of Play
  • Post Football is the name given to Audioslavia's style of play. It's based on the idea that, the less the game resembles football, the more ill at ease your opponents will be. Audioslavia play dirty, sideways and overly cautiously.
  • Kontrapuntzeka is another word for it. Literally meaning counter-attacking, Audioslavia's national team are comfortable playing without the ball and charging forward in numbers when they do finally get it. Each player on this team has a deep understanding of how, when and where to attack on the counter. Losing the ball and allowing the Bulls to hit you on the break can be fatal to even the best teams in the multiverse.
  • Audioslavian managers have started trying to get the defenders to pass the ball around the back to entice their opponents forward. Audioslavian defenders hate this almost as much as Audioslavian fans.
  • Our footballers tend to be on the shorter, leaner side, with everyone outside of the goalie, centre forward and centre half topping out at about 5'10.
  • Audioslavian footballers are often tenacious, with the highest levels of stamina you'll see in world football. Audioslavian sides are often capable of playing at a high-tempo for long periods of time, and wins are often through attrition rather than skill.
  • Audioslavian teams are notorious for gamesmanship - the bending of the rules in order to gain an advantage. Players will taunt, feign injury, surround the referee, basically anything if it seems like it'd be beneficial. Audioslavians feel no shame in this. As far as they're concerned, their willingness to go further than the other team is a sign that they're more dedicated than their opponents might be. What might be considered dishonourable behaviour for you might be considered normal in Audioslavia.
  • Audioslavian teams fear losing. It's our greatest weakness and, given how this fear manifests itself in big games, a powerful irony
  • As well as lacking a bit of raw power, Audioslavian footballers often lack technique compared to their foreign counterparts.
  • Above all else though, what Audioslavian national teams often lack is heart. The worse things are going, the worse Audioslavians play. They're the classic bully. When things don't pan out as they expect, they retreat physically and mentally.

The Manager
Old enough to have been born in Ittuributa, formerly a player at Royal Association and Apox's Urbanista Trojans, when Alaba joined KT Itzalovalle for just $200,000 in the eleventh transfer window, he surely can't have imagined he would be calling Audioslavia his home for the next twenty-five cycles.

He stayed as a player for over ten years, making dozens of appearances in the UICA Globe Cup, IFCF Champions League and IFCF Challengers Cup. His own declining years coincided with that of his club, however. Limited to a handful of games, and arguably a handful more than he should have been playing as a 39 year-old, Alaba was relegated with Itzi at the end of National League Season 6 (current season: 22). Retiring early the next season, Alaba would find the managerial reigns of the club offered to him as it languished near the bottom of the second division, teetering on the brink of a humiliating descent into the third tier. Alaba scraped together enough points for an eighth placed finish, achieved promotion the following season and, after propelling his club to fifth and sixth placed finishes over the next two seasons, mounted a real charge for the title in season eleven, missing out on the league title to Cazadores by just two points.

With Itzi's board refusing to back Alaba further in the transfer market, the Astograthian would leave the club he'd spent seventeen seasons at before the start of season twelve in a shock move, joining area rivals AC Izotz Zubia, with whom he won a first league title in five seasons for the men in salmon and silver. Three more league titles, two Kirola Cups, two Tropicorp Super Cups would follow over the next eight seasons as Alaba built a side that finished in the top three in every single cycle he managed. Notably in season seventeen, his Zozi side finished a point behind his old club, KT Itzalovalle, a club who would perhaps not have been so competitive at the top had he not worked his magic there a decade prior.

Alaba left Zozi after eight seasons, lured by a not insignificant amount of money from the national team. With further UICA silverware proving elusive, Alaba has apparently had his head turned by not only money (although seriously, he's being paid a lot) but the promise of more silverware and the chance, however slim, of going to the World Cup.

Disappointing results across the CAFA Cup and an early-cycle friendly tournament in Ko-oren have thus far not warmed the fans to a manager who is struggling to get the best out of his team.

This team
    Yes, it's five at the back, yes, Alaba is conforming to Audioslavian football's natural defensiveness, perhaps overly so, but it's not just a parked bus. Wing-backs Mata-Curie and Larrea both maraud forward when possible, and the back three often contains Reuben Corkhill, a midfielder for his club, and occasional full-back Everton Bolding.
    Furthermore, top strikers Helios Roy and Wilhelm Zendagorta are finally being deployed together after Styrn had previously used either one or the other in a rigid 4-5-1. Both players are attacking midfielders who went on to become strikers.

    In other words: Audioslavia's supposed 'best eleven' contains nine players who initially broke onto the scene as midfielders. Only goalkeeper Creighton and centre-half Harkness are rigid position players. This is a side that can keep possession in midfield if necessary, just like AC Izotz Zubia used to. Whether they can do that well is still to be seen.

  • Helios Roy has become the fulcrum of the side's attack. First-person accounts of games are usually written through his eyes.
  • Wilhelm Hielscher-Zendagorta, a half-Audioslavian, half-Teus striker with caps for Siovanija and Teusland. S+T's departure from international football freed the striker up to represent another national team, according to the Valrauncion rule, and has duly been selected for Audioslavia. Styrn has generally opted for either Zendagorta or Roy up front, shying away from putting both strikers on the pitch at once.
  • Yoriyorkis Stelea has established himself as vice captain. A dependable midfielder, he is wholly unremarkable in his play other than that his form will not waver no matter the circumstances. When everything starts to go wrong, Stelea is Audioslavia's best player by far.

The Stadium
The Arena Kirola has been Audioslavia's national stadium for almost thirty cycles and, these days, is looking somewhat worse for wear. The capacity, once, 85,000, was initially reduced to 78,000 due to safety concerns and has been lowered again to 72,000. Still, the seats are wide and comfortable and the stadium is as imposing as ever. On the inside it's tall, with three steep tiers packed as close to the pitch as possible. The side of the pitch most seen by cameras is simply a bright white two-metre high wall onto which various murals and/or advertising graffiti (as bad as it sounds) is painted before a match. On the outside of the stadium you'll see a lion statue bursting from one side (1830 Cathair also use the stadium) and a bull statue bursting from the other. Seats are painted white and gold - secondary colours of the national team and 1830 Cathair.

Home, Away, Third.


Home shirt is traditionally worn with white shorts and socks, but if our opponents are wearing that colour then we switch to the same deep red as the shirts. This is what usually ends up happening. Dark green or black shorts have been worn on occasion.

Shorts for our change strip will be either purple (away), white (away, third) or Anaia Green (third)

The Pyazhnayan national team will try to finally realize the potential they had shows in their unbeaten run at the Baptism of Fire in a World Cup qualification tournament. With only one player still playing in Pyazhnaya, the team is drawing from Tikariot, Chromatika, Tumbra, Nephara, Brenecia, Graentfjall, Mytanija and Ko-oren in order to hopefully remain in contention until the very end!

Aleksandr Zavrashin - 44
Aleksandr Zavrashin's position as Pyazhnayan national coach is hanging somewhat in the balance after a few quite unsuccessful tournaments. The team will still employ its flexible 4-4-2 formation and an offensive style to surprise the opposing teams!

SAVIGLIANE NATIONAL TEAM ROSTER
WORLD CUP 93


Two things are true. First, this is the best Savigliano football has ever been. I cigni don't quite look like the Tlanxball Swans that qualified for World Cups 87 and 88 - and a lot has changed in Savigliane as well during that time. But the legendary Ichi Tuzzio has brought the team to three straight World Cups and at least one knockout berth, as well as the nation's highest-ever ranking.

Second, this is as good as it's ever going to be. For all the team's on-field success, things aren't so rosy off the field, where La Repubblica Savigliana is tearing itself apart. With an interdimensional portal rumored to be sending the nation home to their original reality soon, a government (led by former NT captain Bianca Fiore) that fiercely opposes any such attempts, and a population that is increasingly caught in the crossfire, it's anyone's guess how long Savigliane can keep itself together. If things go poorly enough, this could even be the Swans' final cycle. That gives them one chance to finally win the vaunted World Cup. Here's hoping it's all they'll need.

Some basic information about Savigliane can be found in my first WCQ RP or my BoF/WCQ RP line. Essentially, the nation has been teleported to the NS world from an IRL equivalent and is working through the fallout of that event.

NICKNAME: The Swans / The Red and Blues
MANAGER: Ichi TUZZIO, 79 (Farfadillis)
ASSISTANT MANAGER: Friekder DANDALLEION, 79 (Farfadillis)
Thanks to Farfadillis for generously providing the below character description of Tuzzio and Dandalleion:
Ichi had a very successful football career: he plied his trade in Farfadillis playing for Ferdullaele FC, then in Turori playing for Cednia Beach, before moving to Makosile in Vilita. He was consistently a very solid player for over a decade in the V-League. On the national front, he started for Farfadillis as CAM for many years, playing a big part in their first World Cup qualification and their first AOCAF Cup win, notably scoring the winner against Vilita in the semifinal, in a 3-1 to 4-3 comeback. He was a CAM that could score incredibly frequently, and had a fearsome long shot. He loves helping develop players with characteristics similar to him, as he did with Faragó rue Cazade at Farfadillis. He could be criticized for turning Faragó into a bit of a vanity project, but his development under Tuzzio was unprecedented. Shortly after his retirement, during the celebrations of Farfadillis second AOCAF Cup win, Ichi Tuzzio was tragically shot in an attempt to mug him. He lost the ability to walk, but managed a miraculous recovery over the years which saw him able to walk with the help of a cane. This event motivated him to start his managerial career.

He started as assistant manager on the Farfadillis NT, helping out Tíbürçìó Çötàvíê. Tíbürçìó was not very good at listening, however, so at first his job was more about reigning in the players than anything relating to tactics. As Tíbürçìó started developing dementia, however, he slowly started having a bigger say on tactics, though this isn't something known to the public. Before Tíbürçìó completely slid into insanity, he moved on to the Buyanese national team, which he helped qualify to the World Cup despite them standing essentially no chance at the beginning of the cycle. From there he moved back to the Farfadillis NT once again, this time replacing Tíbürçìó instead of assisting him. He managed a fourth place finish in his first cycle, though in rather heartbreaking fashion after losing 6-3 to Turori in the semifinal. His AOCAF Cup performances were below par, and so was his World Cup 83 performance, as Farfadillis rather unceremoniously went out in the round of sixteen after a shaky group stage performance, despite having managed a perfect run in qualifiers. Coming into World Cup 84, Tuzzio's job was being heavily questioned due to both performances and style. He shut up his critics, however, by bringing the trophy to Farfadillis for the first time in its history, and not once deviating from his methods in the process. After resigning because of how stressful the job as Farfadillis manager is, he joined Baker Park's national team, where he led the Commonwealth to two knockout round appearances and a fourth-place finish in his time there.

As a manager, Tuzzio bucks the trend by being a reasonable manager despite his nationality. He still prefers heavily offensive tactics, but is willing to adapt to his players, going so far as to play merely offensively, or even a balanced playstyle when the situation calls for it. His strengths certainly lie in his man management - he wouldn't have lasted more than a few months managing Farfadillis otherwise - and in his ability to adapt. He also has very in-depth knowledge of every offensive Farf tactic in the book, which gives him a flexibility that's difficult to match. His weakness lies in his inexperience managing a good defense. He's still the manager that got the most out of a Farf defense in history, but it can't be denied that managing a Farf defense is completely different from managing a standard defense. His other weakness is that he can be temperamental, though he never showed signs of this when managing Buyan.

His assistant manager will be Friekder Dandalleion, one of the biggest Farf legends of the game and his best friend. He played for Jungle Strike for almost his entire career, and is probably one of the club's top three biggest legends. For Farfadillis, he, like Tuzzio, was instrumental in their first World Cup appearances, as well as in their first AOCAF Cup win. He also won a second AOCAF Cup, scoring the winning goal in the final against Osarius before retiring from football altogether. He's a consummate professional who will help out Tuzzio with whatever he needs, also giving him suggestions whenever he sees fit. He's not as knowledgeable as Tuzzio, but could probably make it as manager if he so desired.

PLAYSTYLE
There's more than a shade of Tlanxball in Ichi Tuzzio's tactics - the Farfish manager has opted not to rock the boat too much in terms of system, opting to focus more on installing new players in certain positions. The focus remains on retaining possession and rapidly moving the ball forwards vertically - although Tuzzio emphasizes verticality and lightning-quick transition much more than his Qusmi predecessor. In build-up, Dutto will stay back and use his passing range to search for opportunities to immediately advance to midfield, while both Tibère and Blanco will be given the green light to run forwards with the ball at their feet. Chastain will be given more of a box-to-box role, focusing on making late runs into dangerous areas and pushing the pace, while Arnaudo will be deployed as more of a playmaker. The wingbacks, especially Esposito, essentially have free reign to turn into wingers - DuBois likes to stay wide, while Esposito drifts centrally to accommodate the wider-playing Gastaldo. The aim while in possession will be to rapidly shift the ball forward before using quick interchanges and dynamic movement in the attacking third of the pitch. To aid this, the forwards will often drift wide and into the half-spaces to stretch the opposition defense before playing back through the center or switching play to the now-exposed opposite flank. Roux will cut inside frequently to make plays, while Squarciafichi is more of a pure goalscorer who will have more than enough playmakers feeding her in the box.

On defense, Ichi Tuzzio has opted for a surprisingly sane approach - but he was always the sanest one of the great Farfadillis managers. Defensively, Savigliane will play a relatively high line, aiming to compress the opposition's build-up toward the sidelines and pressing immediately after losing the ball. The Swans will rely on the pace and tactical instincts of their back 3-4 to cover what is a pretty attack-minded setup, especially since both DuBois and Esposito will both be pushing forward if necessary to maintain dynamism in possession. The aggression of the fullbacks makes this an even more attack-minded setup than usual, and one that thrives on exploiting weaknesses in the flanks. They might not be elite or polished, but they'll at least be fun to watch.

GOALKEEPERS
#01 - Nicodemo D’AMBROSIO - 34 - Unioneers (EUR)
#23 - Narcisa ROUSSEAU - 30 - Felswyr (CMT)
#12 - Gianfranco GIGLIO - 28 - Nazionale Acqui Bollente

D’Ambrosio has been one of the breakout stars of post-Event Savigliane, going from backup to Golden Glove winner to Mayville starter and NT star. He’s still mistake-prone at times but is generally an incredibly athletic shot-stopper with inconsistent but strong distribution. Giglio, standing at 6'7" (2.01m), possesses generational athleticism for a Savigliano goalkeeper, and uses it to great effect when making high-flying stops. The analytics crowd considers him overrated, but his distribution has rapidly improved and he was a revelation for Pria City this season. Rousseau came out of nowhere to anchor Nazionale's title-winning defense and is a dominant presence in the box with strong athleticism but a bit of an ego. Her ascendence with Nazionale has earned her a transfer to the Red League, and after a slower start to her Chromatik career, she's really picked things up with Felswyr.

DEFENDERS
#25 - LCB - Valérien TIBÈRE - 26 - 1830 Cathair (AUD)
#14 - CB/CDM - Gianmarco DUTTO - 33 - Algolia (SRS)
#03 - CB - Chiara BLANCO - 31 - Brinemouth (NPH)

#02 - CB - Adélaïde GARCIA - 35 - AS Villeneuve
#15 - CB - Alexandre ONIO - 29 - 1896 Ebor (MYT)
#43 - CB - Rémy LeCLERC - 31 - Stade-Ferre Trinité

The young Tibère is being touted in some circles as the next great Savigliano youth product. A versatile defender capable of spelling left-backs in a four-at-the-back system, he's a tall, quick, and rangy defender with a bit of shithousing streak and preternatural athleticism. Dutto is a strong but slow-footed center-back whose biggest strength is his ability to distribute from the back - he's viewed as a worthy successor to ball-playing center-back Pietro Giraudo. Blanco, is quick, aerially adept, and hard-working, one of Lega 2's best-kept secrets until her move abroad, and a positive surprise at every step in her meteoric career, from Lega 2 to Tikariot's Kyethas Rivermen to the former Zenith champions.

Garcia has seriously matured in terms of her ability to play out from the back, formerly her biggest weakness. However, she's always relied on her athleticism and man-marking capabilities, and with those starting to fade, she's had to reinvent herself somewhat in the National League. Onio is consistently one of the best defenders in the Mytanar Top League, impressing fans of 1896 Ebor with his passing abilities and calmness and off the ball. LeClerc has struggled with injuries in recent years, but managed to put things together late last season to put together a vintage performance for Stade-Ferre. At his best, he's physical, versatile, and skilled on the ball, and although that's being seen less and less these days, he's managed to put it together just in time for a call-up.

#27 - CM/AM - Celestino DUTTO - 28 - AC Acqui Bollente
#61 - RB/RWB - Luca CAMBIASO - 28 - Couno Rangers (TMB)

DuBois is a pacy, tricky fullback who can serve as a spark-plug offensively but isn't as solid of a defender yet. A recent move to the Savojar champions has elevated his profile, and Tuzzio has decided to give the youngster a shot ahead of Roman Palomer. Arnaudo is an energetic, pacy box-to-box type who excelled during San Ludovico's "Miracle Run" to the LBCT semifinals, earning him a big transfer to Eura. He's also weirdly good at set pieces, both delivering and receiving. A confusing heir to Bianca Fiore's #8, considering he was named this way while still in the second division, but gambling on him is something both Tlanx and Tuzzio have opted to do, and the latter reportedly sees a bit of takilante in him. Chastain often lacks focus, and is prone to fouling, but she's genuinely one of Savigliane's best when she's on, with the kind of passing vision, defensive positioning, and aggressive athleticism that make us reach again for the Bianca Fiore comparisons. La Nueva Avenida was a challenge slightly beyond her in her debut season, but she's steadily grown into her expanded roles for club and country and is approaching genuine stardom. Finally, Esposito is athletic and technically gifted, but earned a reputation as lazy before manager Lucas Allard unlocked a breakout season from the young fullback that earned him a transfer to Kelssek. He relies on his pace to get into defensive position, but his offensive instincts, owing to a youth career spent as a winger, are second to none in the nation.

Palomer is a tricky, energetic, attack-minded fullback whose greatest strength is his incisive overlapping runs. A bit one-dimensional in his youth, but he's added more tricks to his bag recently, and he's been surprisingly good in Astograth before coming home this window. Buvalelli unexpectedly broke into Alessandro Juliana’s first team in Audioslavia’s National League and rose to stardom for both club and country before big-money moves to Shamrock and (in a mercenary twist) Osarese Marcadia. Although temperamental, his deep-lying playmaking makes him Pietro Giraudo’s heir apparent at the senior level. Genet earned herself a transfer to the Zenith immediately after a strong college career in Chromatika. She's an excellent carrier and passer, although she lacks end product. Castagne’s breakout season was one reason why Stade-Ferre won their first league title in decades, as the hometown hero impressed with his intelligence, physicality, tactical versatility, and leadership ability that belied his young age before taking the next step to Eura and becoming an unlikely hero in the team's WC92 campaign. Dutto is a braggadocious midfielder who earned a Swiss Army Knife reputation in Kelssek before heading home to ACAB. Cambiaso is a strong, composed fullback who's surprisingly good at set-piece delivery, having scored four free-kicks in his last season with Nazionale. Nazionale thought he reached his limit, but he's fitted in well into Giuliani's Couno side.

FORWARDS
#07 - LW/ST - Anne-Marie ROUX - 31 - Crisisbless (NPH)
#18 - ST - Thea SQUARCIAFICHI - 32 - AC Acqui Bollente

#19 - RW - Laurent BÉRINGER - 27 - Vermillion Rage (NPH)
#21 - LW/ST/RW - Bonagiunta ROSSI - 28 - AC Acqui Bollente

Roux is an incredible dribbler with sometimes inaccurate but sometimes incredible passing ability and a left foot that produces magical free-kicks and long-range shots. Her play in the Zenith fuelled Crisisbless' title run and greatly improved her own popularity, especially after she got a Testiculo off the back of that. Squarciafichi is a predatory finisher and absolutely lethal in the penalty box. Although a solid dribbler, her best runs are off the ball, and her passing is still a work in progress, although somewhat improved. A deadly passer and crosser who uses her speed to hug the touchline and burst past defenders, Gastaldo was Porto Vecchio's best player in a relegation campaign and has continued to shine abroad en route to a league title with Glenmount.

Toscani is a technically gifted attacking midfielder-turned-winger who, despite not being particularly athletic, has become a mainstay in Caza's lineup. He’s capable of playing as a center-midfielder, an attacking midfielder, or, thanks to his surprisingly good crossing ability, on the wing. Formerly a key player, after an injury ruled him out of WC92, Tuzzio did seem to realize that the attack worked better with a less talented winger who fit better into the system. Bernard is a deadly finisher when in the zone, but was plagued by inconsistency and off-the-field troubles during her time in Savigliane. She's managed to put things together in Lakewood City though, becoming one of the best goalscorers in Tumbra. Béringer is a hard-working winger whose pace allows him to coordinate well with a more attacking wingback like those Savigliane employs. He excels at dribbling and making incisive runs, but still lacks end product. Rossi came out of nowhere with ACAB (replacing Rinaldi, who left for Græntfjall) to score an incredible twenty goals - one for each year of his life - in 29 SavigLega appearances. He's kept up the pace with first Alnio, then Tor, and now Lanar in the Red League, although his star is dimmed somewhat by his teams' middling performance (in his mind). His best asset is his absolutely lethal pace and skill, although he’s a bit skinny and a legendarily bad teammate who forced his way out of several teams.

SAVIGLIANE NATIONAL TEAM ROSTER
WORLD CUP 93 QUALIFIERS

The Swans are back. I cigni don't quite look like the Tlanxball Swans that qualified for World Cups 87 and 88 - and a lot has changed in Savigliane as well during that time. But under the leadership of the legendary Ichi Tuzzio, now taking his record-shattering fourth senior side to the World Cup (after Buyan, Farfadillis, and Baker Park), they found their way back nevertheless, matching their Tlanxball peak with a Round of 16 appearance at WC92 before bowing out in penalties to Turori. Now, they're looking to continue their ascent despite some troubling times at home. But the team and the nation it hails from have none of the naïvete of World Cups 87 and 88. Chastened by the past few years on and off the pitch, they know that they can't count on coming back to this tournament. If they want to win - and they desperately want to win - they'll have to start now. Some basic information about Savigliane can be found in my first WCQ RP or my BoF/WCQ RP line. Essentially, the nation has been teleported to the NS world from an IRL equivalent and is still working through the fallout of that event.

NICKNAME: The Swans / The Red and Blues
MANAGER: Ichi TUZZIO, 78 (Farfadillis)
ASSISTANT MANAGER: Friekder DANDALLEION, 78 (Farfadillis)
Thanks to Farfadillis for generously providing the below character description of Tuzzio and Dandalleion:

Ichi had a very successful football career: he plied his trade in Farfadillis playing for Ferdullaele FC, then in Turori playing for Cednia Beach, before moving to Makosile in Vilita. He was consistently a very solid player for over a decade in the V-League. On the national front, he started for Farfadillis as CAM for many years, playing a big part in their first World Cup qualification and their first AOCAF Cup win, notably scoring the winner against Vilita in the semifinal, in a 3-1 to 4-3 comeback. He was a CAM that could score incredibly frequently, and had a fearsome long shot. He loves helping develop players with characteristics similar to him, as he did with Faragó rue Cazade at Farfadillis. He could be criticized for turning Faragó into a bit of a vanity project, but his development under Tuzzio was unprecedented. Shortly after his retirement, during the celebrations of Farfadillis second AOCAF Cup win, Ichi Tuzzio was tragically shot in an attempt to mug him. He lost the ability to walk, but managed a miraculous recovery over the years which saw him able to walk with the help of a cane. This event motivated him to start his managerial career.

He started as assistant manager on the Farfadillis NT, helping out Tíbürçìó Çötàvíê. Tíbürçìó was not very good at listening, however, so at first his job was more about reigning in the players than anything relating to tactics. As Tíbürçìó started developing dementia, however, he slowly started having a bigger say on tactics, though this isn't something known to the public. Before Tíbürçìó completely slid into insanity, he moved on to the Buyanese national team, which he helped qualify to the World Cup despite them standing essentially no chance at the beginning of the cycle. From there he moved back to the Farfadillis NT once again, this time replacing Tíbürçìó instead of assisting him. He managed a fourth place finish in his first cycle, though in rather heartbreaking fashion after losing 6-3 to Turori in the semifinal. His AOCAF Cup performances were below par, and so was his World Cup 83 performance, as Farfadillis rather unceremoniously went out in the round of sixteen after a shaky group stage performance, despite having managed a perfect run in qualifiers. Coming into World Cup 84, Tuzzio's job was being heavily questioned due to both performances and style. He shut up his critics, however, by bringing the trophy to Farfadillis for the first time in its history, and not once deviating from his methods in the process. After resigning because of how stressful the job as Farfadillis manager is, he joined Baker Park's national team, where he led the Commonwealth to two knockout round appearances and a fourth-place finish in his time there.

As a manager, Tuzzio bucks the trend by being a reasonable manager despite his nationality. He still prefers heavily offensive tactics, but is willing to adapt to his players, going so far as to play merely offensively, or even a balanced playstyle when the situation calls for it. His strengths certainly lie in his man management - he wouldn't have lasted more than a few months managing Farfadillis otherwise - and in his ability to adapt. He also has very in-depth knowledge of every offensive Farf tactic in the book, which gives him a flexibility that's difficult to match. His weakness lies in his inexperience managing a good defense. He's still the manager that got the most out of a Farf defense in history, but it can't be denied that managing a Farf defense is completely different from managing a standard defense. His other weakness is that he can be temperamental, though he never showed signs of this when managing Buyan.

His assistant manager will be Friekder Dandalleion, one of the biggest Farf legends of the game and his best friend. He played for Jungle Strike for almost his entire career, and is probably one of the club's top three biggest legends. For Farfadillis, he, like Tuzzio, was instrumental in their first World Cup appearances, as well as in their first AOCAF Cup win. He also won a second AOCAF Cup, scoring the winning goal in the final against Osarius before retiring from football altogether. He's a consummate professional who will help out Tuzzio with whatever he needs, also giving him suggestions whenever he sees fit. He's not as knowledgeable as Tuzzio, but could probably make it as manager if he so desired.

Her ascendence with Nazionale has earned her a transfer to the Red League, and after a slower start to her Chromatik career, she's really picked things up with Felswyr. Finally, Duchemin is a talented but inconsistent young keeper, somewhat in the D'Ambrosio mold, who made his fair share of highlight-reel saves while in the CCFA.

#36 - CB - Celina BLANCO - 27 - AC Acqui Bollente
#35 - CB - Angelique BLANC - 33 - AS Villeneuve
#43 - CB - Rémy LeCLERC - 30 - Stade-Ferre Trinité


The young Tibère is being touted in some circles as the next great Savigliano youth product. A versatile defender capable of spelling left-backs in a four-at-the-back system, he's a tall, quick, and rangy defender with a bit of shithousing streak and preternatural athleticism. Dutto is a strong but slow-footed center-back whose biggest strength is his ability to distribute from the back - he's viewed as a worthy successor to ball-playing center-back Pietro Giraudo. Blanco, is quick, aerially adept, and hard-working, one of Lega 2's best-kept secrets until her move abroad, and a positive surprise at every step in her meteoric career, from Lega 2 to Tikariot's Kyethas Rivermen to the former Zenith champions.

Garcia has seriously matured in terms of her ability to play out from the back, formerly her biggest weakness. However, she's always relied on her athleticism and man-marking capabilities, and with those starting to fade, she's had to reinvent herself somewhat in the National League. Onio is consistently one of the best defenders in the Mytanar Top League, impressing fans of 1896 Ebor with his passing abilities and calmness and off the ball. Toussaint shook off the moniker "We Have Stephen Kerr At Home" in a strong first season with Straton, impressing with his excellent passing and physical gifts. While the rest of his time with Straton had its ups and downs, he impressed enough to earn a transfer to Serrapince, and he remains a playable option in a distribution-focused back three.

Celina Blanco has all the determination and athleticism of a Blanco, but isn’t quite as skilled as her older sister, although she was a key part of Nazionale's title-winning defense before making a shocking move across the city to hated rivals ACAB, where she won the most recent SavigLega. Angelique Blanc is very strong on the ball, especially due to her passing ability and her keen sense of positioning, but isn't well-suited for more physical matchups. Remy LeCLERC has struggled with injuries in recent years, but managed to put things together late last season to put together a vintage performance for Stade-Ferre. At his best, he's physical, versatile, and skilled on the ball, but that's being seen less and less these days.

DuBois is a pacy, tricky fullback who can serve as a spark-plug offensively but isn't as solid of a defender yet. A recent move to the Savojar champions has elevated his profile, and Tuzzio has decided to give the youngster a shot ahead of Roman Palomer. Arnaudo is an energetic, pacy box-to-box type who excelled during San Ludovico's "Miracle Run" to the LBCT semifinals, earning him a big transfer to Eura. He's also weirdly good at set pieces, both delivering and receiving. A confusing heir to Bianca Fiore's #8, considering he was named this way while still in the second division, but gambling on him is something both Tlanx and Tuzzio have opted to do, and the latter reportedly sees a bit of takilante in him. Chastain often lacks focus, and is prone to fouling, but she's genuinely one of Savigliane's best when she's on, with the kind of passing vision, defensive positioning, and aggressive athleticism that make us reach again for the Bianca Fiore comparisons. La Nueva Avenida was a challenge slightly beyond her in her debut season, but she's steadily grown into her expanded roles for club and country and is approaching genuine stardom. Finally, Esposito is athletic and technically gifted, but earned a reputation as lazy before manager Lucas Allard unlocked a breakout season from the young fullback that earned him a transfer to Kelssek. He relies on his pace to get into defensive position, but his offensive instincts, owing to a youth career spent as a winger, are second to none in the nation.

Palomer is a tricky, energetic, attack-minded fullback whose greatest strength is his incisive overlapping runs. A bit one-dimensional in his youth, but he's added more tricks to his bag recently, and he's been surprisingly good in Astograth. Buvalelli unexpectedly broke into Alessandro Juliana’s first team in Audioslavia’s National League and rose to stardom for both club and country before big-money moves to Shamrock and (in a mercenary twist) Osarese Marcadia. Although temperamental, his deep-lying playmaking makes him Pietro Giraudo’s heir apparent at the senior level. Dutto is a braggadocious midfielder who earned a Swiss Army Knife reputation in Kelssek before heading home to ACAB. Cambiaso is a strong, composed fullback who's surprisingly good at set-piece delivery, having scored four free-kicks in his last season with Nazionale. Nazionale thought he reached his limit, but he's fitted in well into Giuliani's Couno side.

Lamontagne, who helped Chatswood to promotion but couldn't stop their untimely demotion before leaving for Chromatika, is known for her deceptive athleticism, coolness under pressure, tactical intelligence, and versatility. Bella, the former young player of the year in Savigliane, is known for his creativity and flair with the ball, and surprisingly high workrate (somewhat compensating for his lack of athleticism) without it. Genet earned herself a transfer to the Zenith immediately after a strong college career in Chromatika. She's an excellent carrier and passer, although she lacks end product. Sauvageon, somewhat similarly to Giovanna Vitale, is a high-flying, aggressive fullback who needs to work on her defensive discipline in Chromatika Tikariot - but serves as a useful “break in case of emergency” if Savigliane is trailing.

Roux is an incredible dribbler with sometimes inaccurate but sometimes incredible passing ability and a left foot that produces magical free-kicks and long-range shots. Her play in the Zenith fuelled Crisisbless' title run and greatly improved her own popularity, especially after she got a Testiculo off the back of that. Squarciafichi is a predatory finisher and absolutely lethal in the penalty box. Although a solid dribbler, her best runs are off the ball, and her passing is still a work in progress, although somewhat improved. A deadly passer and crosser who uses her speed to hug the touchline and burst past defenders, Gastaldo was Porto Vecchio's best player in a relegation campaign and has continued to shine abroad en route to a league title with Glenmount.

Toscani is a technically gifted attacking midfielder-turned-winger who, despite not being particularly athletic, has become a mainstay in Caza's lineup. He’s capable of playing as a center-midfielder, an attacking midfielder, or, thanks to his surprisingly good crossing ability, on the wing. Formerly a key player, after an injury ruled him out of WC92, Tuzzio did seem to realize that the attack worked better with a less talented winger who fit better into the system. Bernard is a deadly finisher when in the zone, but was plagued by inconsistency and off-the-field troubles during her time in Savigliane. She's managed to put things together in Lakewood City though, becoming one of the best goalscorers in Tumbra. Béringer is a hard-working winger whose pace allows him to coordinate well with a more attacking wingback like those Savigliane employs. He excels at dribbling and making incisive runs, but still lacks end product.

Rossi came out of nowhere with ACAB (replacing Rinaldi, who left for Græntfjall) to score an incredible twenty goals - one for each year of his life - in 29 SavigLega appearances. He's kept up the pace with first Alnio, then Tor, and now Lanar in the Red League, although his star is dimmed somewhat by his teams' middling performance (in his mind). His best asset is his absolutely lethal pace and skill, although he’s a bit skinny and a legendarily bad teammate who forced his way out of ACAB. Couffignal tore apart the SavigLega this season with Stade-Ferre, and is devastating both in the air and with the ball at her feet. Collomb known for a methodical, deliberate style of play, is a strong passer and finisher most at home setting up teammates.

THE UNITED REPUBLICS OF YUEZHOU - NATIONAL FOOTBALL TEAM
月州联合共和国 - 国际足球队
Image
Badge and kits designed by Txakhaxi's Tahuatxi Storefront.

Exactly a decade after Yuezhou's first qualification, Chen Huikang has led them back to the promised land. Just a year after the Cup of Harmony silver medal, Chen is starting to solidify his status as the greatest Yue NT manager of all time. Now that they're here, though, a much harder task awaits them: bettering the WC88 team that took four points from Turori and Farfadillis. For one last cycle, they'll have the services of WC88 heroes Liu Huiying and Wen Xiaohui, both of which will be thirty-six by the next World Cup. Combined with an infusion of new talent, and with a wave of dual nationals on the horizon, World Cup success (i.e. getting a point) could set Yuezhou up well for their first period of sustained success in their history.

Manager: CHEN Huikang, 57

Chen Huikang is an excellent tactician with a propensity for fast-paced, attacking football. His attacking strengths were apparent in both seasons with CSKA Quebec, who come close to winning the Q-League and Coupe de la Reine his first season. However, still somewhat inexperienced at the time, he struggled to bring together a dressing room full of massive egos and character issues. After being let go, he seriously matured over a three-season stint at Glenmount Town, where he turned an underachieving team into Premier League champions. While the temptation to stay at a club that has almost unconditionally supported him from Day One was strong, the fiercely patriotic Nanhai native couldn't resist the temptation to manage the Dragons. The Cup of Harmony run has basically cemented him as the long-term manager despite the lean years to come.

Assistant Manager: None [left vacant since the Alba and Cymru Incident]

Tactics:

With the ball, the team will play quickly and creatively, focusing on controlling the ball and dynamically exploiting weaknesses in the opponent's defense. Lu maintains some defensive coverage on the left flank, but if the game is under control Dong will float forwards to provide width in the attack, forming a sort of 3-2-5 shape. Liu Huiying plays as a creative false-nine type, who will serve as a sort of offensive hub while dropping into midfield. The tricky Luo Nanwei will play as a right inside-forward, using his speed to make runs in behind the shoulder of the defense and his technique to create and convert chances once in the box, while Jiang provides width and support from the left-hand side. Kara Mingsdottír Zhang and Dong Xiaowang will both be aggressively moving forward to join the attack and set up chances, with interchanges common in the attack. Hu's ball-carrying and long-range passes often help progress the ball in Yuezhou's third of the pitch, serving as a key bridge between the defense and midfield.

Without the ball, the team defends from the front, relying on the pace and industry of the front three to harry opposing defenses and force mistakes. There sometimes is a sense of there being "attacking" and "defensive" blocks, the latter being comprised of the defense, Wan, and sometimes Mingsdottír Zhang, and the former being everyone else. The idea is that successive lines can react quickly to the press being broken and move up to compensate and close off space. Dong will sometimes push up to counterattack, but Lu and the center-backs will stay back, giving the team a solid defensive base without the ball to work from.

STARTERS
#01 - GK - ZHAO Deliang (赵德亮) - 26 - Atletik Thessia (MYT)
A goalkeeping phenom who won a historic Golden Ball (both in terms of position and age) en route to Jiangdong's first league title in years. A cool, confident, and physically imposing general on the pitch, albeit a bit traditionalist in playstyle.
#24 - LB - LU Lanying (f) (卢兰英) - 28 - Rutland Dockside (CDG)
A quick, athletic left-back, Lu is strong when driving forwards and tracking back but could work on her crossing. Not the most natural fit for a wingback role, but her physical prowess and energy should help out.
#06 - CB - HU Jiewen (胡介问) - 29 - Corinthians No Longer (NPH)
Already known for his composure, leadership, and surefootedness at a young age, Hu is a strong, quick center-back with a high ceiling - although some inconsistency has kept him from reaching it. Still, Chen Huikang believes that his well-roundedness and ability to drive forwards with the ball makes him an excellent fit for the Dragons' system.
#05 - CB - YUAN Mingrong (袁明荣) (C) - 32 - Ararat (MYT)
An intelligent, cultured center-back who's grown into an absolute rock at the back. Has proven himself in Mytanija as one of the best defenders in the league, and has rapidly developed into a strong all-around center-back who was once the Top League's player of the season.
#25 - RB - DONG Xiaowang (董小王) - 28 - Megabrantid (SRS)
A pacy, strong fullback well-suited to the modern game. Could be creatively deployed as a winger in a pinch, and will provide much of the width in this setup.
#33 - SS/CAM - LUO Chuan (f) (罗川) - 29 - Spenson Suburbia (ZWZ)
An agile, technically adept attacking midfielder at her best when distributing to others. Tends to get bullied off the ball, though.
#19 - CDM/CM - WAN Sheping (万射平) - 30 - Wirr Tsi (CMT)
An old-school, defensive-minded midfielder who's surprisingly good in the air despite being 5'8". Earned a move to countryman Zhaxi Nanlei’s Wirr Tsi squad a few seasons ago, and has rapidly become one of Chromatika's finest midfielders and a key figure in the newly-minted Red League juggernauts.
#08 - CM - Kara Mingsdottír ZHANG (f) (张白兰) - 22 - Steinaux (GRÆ)
The YFA spent a lot of time and effort convincing Karolíná Mingsdottír to declare for Yuezhou's national team instead of Græntfjall's, but it's become apparent that the young midfielder was worth the trouble. A well-rounded midfield prospect whose speed and technique makes her devastating on the counterattack, and who has a propensity for scoring wondergoals.
#77 - LAM/RAM - JIANG Jieren (江杰任) - 30 - Osarese Marcadia (AUD)
An incredibly quick winger, albeit one slightly out of place on the left, Jiang’s ball-retention skills need to work and he tends to play with too much ambition. Still, he’s absolutely electric when on, with a combination of scoring and playmaking on the counterattack that could really make an impact.
#10 - AM/SS - LIU Huiying (f) (刘辉映) - 34 - Sabrefell Moths (NPH)
Liu’s speed and devastating passing ability make her one to watch with every counterattack. Her high workrate, even on the defensive end, should theoretically make her a good candidate to slot into a false nine-esque offensive hub position, as she's now an attacking midfielder at the club level in the Zenith.
#11 - RW - LUO Nanwei (罗南伟) - 27 - FC Inter Nantwich (TMB)
An extraordinarily athletic player who worked his way onto Guodui's senior team as a teenager; despite some injuries during his youth career, his pace and dynamic creativity make him a terror with the ball, although he can be erratic and inconsistent. Impressed in the Zenith despite suffering relegation with Gaelic Club - enough to make him the starting right-winger after Huang Shedong's ACL tear. Now, he's been made an eight-million-dollar man, and impressed in his first season with Nantwich.

RESERVES
#34 - GK - JIAWEI Lau - 27 - Northern Stallions (BRE)
Decades of Yue coaching dogma that the goalkeeper's only job should be keeping the ball out of the net have culminated in Jiawei Lau, an acrobatic shot-stopper who just punts the ball whenever he makes a save. Has really come into his own with Northern Stallions after a rocky start to his career.
#12 - GK - Elaine XU (f) - 21 - West Couno United (TMB)
Known for her distribution as well as her heroics outside of the penalty box, Xu's family escaped to Tumbra at the outbreak of the Yue Civil War, but the young, flashy goalkeeper is now back and readying a long-term challenge to Zhao Deliang's starting spot.
#14 - LB/LWB - HUANG Han - 23 - Torbay Thunder (KSK)
An energetic, pacy wingback who thrived as a crosser in Olympic Nangang's three-at-the-back system, but may not be suited to the defensive rigors of a left-back role on the national team. Could plausibly play on the wing.
#27 - CB - LI Jianguo - 29 - Tihon (CMT)
Li is the best of the team's center-backs with the ball at his feet, making him best-suited for a three-man defense where he can make surging runs and spray accurate long-range passes with either foot. The physicality has never quite caught up to the ball-playing ability, as he's very prone to be pushed around by bigger strikers, leaving him somewhat vulnerable in a four-at-the-back system.
#03 - CB - ZHEN Long - 33 - Gaelic Club (TLI)
A savvy veteran leader who, alongside Zhao Deliang, anchored a league-best defense for Jiangdong before leveraging his performance into a move abroad. Excellent aerially and capable of locking down opposing attackers, and competent enough with the ball at his feet, although his age has limited his mobility somewhat.
#26 - CB - Garrett SHANGYUAN - 25 - Chatswood (NPH)
Quick and physically imposing, the dual national Shangyuan is known for his flashy blocks and his lumbering runs upfield, as well as his almost magnetic attraction to being booked.
#13 - RB - Diadora REEVE (f) - 34 - Coret Hawks (NPH)
Diadora Reeve is an athletic, relatively attack-minded fullback who provides an interesting tactical option for Yuezhou in place of Zhu Aiguo. We think she had a Yue grandfather or something, which is why she's turned up on the Yue national team despite everyone previously thinking she was Nepharim.
#39 - DM - CAI Renshu - 30 - Binclestead Wood (FVA)
The linchpin of Olympic Nangang's surprise title-winning side, Cai does all the little stuff right and has seemingly endless energy that he uses to effectively stymie opposing midfields.
#17 - CM - GUO Hong - 29 - 1896 Ebor (MYT)
A quick, diminutive water-carrier who excels at breaking up attacks and has grown into a key role for 1896 Ebor. Has a tendency to pick up cards.
#15 - CM - YANG Xie - 31 - St. Bart's Dutch (TLI)
A dynamic midfielder whose greatest assets on the field are his relentless energy and athleticism. Has found his level with St. Bart's Dutch, where he's shed many of his former attitude concerns and become a solid supporting piece in the midfield.
#37 - CM - FANG Yuhui (f) - 28 - North Granby (CDG)
Not the most physically imposing, but her seemingly endless stamina and excellent positioning empower her to show up almost everywhere on the pitch when needed to make a tackle. Not great offensively, but improving.
#18 - CAM - WEN Xiaohui (f) - 34 - Libertas Bergheim (SVJ)
Wen Xiaohui, the niece of controversial star midfielder Wen Xiaoli, has rapidly developed from Yuezhou’s next big thing to a star in her own right. She wasn't a great tactical fit for Yuan Zilai's or Lu Jialan’s style, but her pace and playmaking more than merit her inclusion in the first-choice starting eleven, and her breakout WCQ87 was a rare bright spot in an otherwise miserable qualifying campaign. Has stagnated a bit lately, and with the switch in tactical systems and her advancing age is a bit of an odd woman out.
#20 - LW/RW - DAI Qiu - 30 - Nangang Royals
Lithe, two-footed winger who compensates for a relative lack of pace with an all-around skill on the ball that belies his young age. Fierce Nanhai separatist who returned home after a stint in Græntfjall fizzled out, and immediately became one of the best players in the Yue league.
#29 - ST - LIANG Wei - 27 - Chardonnay Rangers (NPH)
A tall, imposing target man who finally escaped the yo-yo life in Kelssek by...moving to a promotion favorite in Nephara's First Division. Can be a little immature at times.
#22 - ST/RW - ZHENG Yuanjun (f) - 30 - Fiskadaha (PFA)
An intelligent, versatile attacker, Zheng is much more skilled as a playmaker than as a scorer, although her ability to find space with her runs has still gotten her a decent scoring record. Chen is hoping that she can spell the aging Liu Huiying as a false nine, although she has little experience in that role.


#23 - GK - GUO Yanhong - 35 - Dhun Lagarr FC (TKT)
A modern sweeper-keeper and competent shot-stopper who is aggressive to a fault, but who had a strong enough season in Tikariot to earn a call-up.
#21 - ST - JI Weibo - 30 - Brantisvogan (SRS)
While selfish to a fault and not the easiest personality to work with, Ji Weibo laid waste to South Newlandia to the tune of 17 goals in 22 matches as a teenager, and has continued to develop as a goalscorer. A pure poacher who’s posed an increased long-range threat as of lately, Ji isn’t much of a team player but can arguably lead a line by himself better than the team's other options can, and could be a real option off the bench.

The Valentian International Football Association – We have 93 problems, and not winning the WC is still one of them… for now! ♥

Image

The previous season of World Cup 92 has left the Kittens dry and yearning for more. Sure, there was IAC 17 that they definitely enjoyed and had a blast, but for the World Cup itself – they still could use a big break, in the form of making beyond the qualifications. The previous season has left the Valentians with a 11-4-5 record, with 41 goals kicked, 30 goals against, and 37 points overall, which unfortunately was not enough for them to overtake Ceni, let alone Turori and Savigliane. Independents Cup 17 was a bigger break, with the Kittens making it to the Round of 24 going up against Poafmersia, which they won with a 2–1. This was, however, not followed up with the match against Drawkland’s Elite Eleven, and where for the 2–1, it would be the Kittens that time whereby they ended up on the short end of the goalstick. “Maybe Fate has something in mind for us that we are constantly going against them. Either way, it will be fine, and with luck, maybe we will see them on the field again,” Holly Annemiek Gerrieke Van De Hoogte noted, wearing the new uniform that has not changed from the previous seasons, save for the tag on the collar and on the chest that indicates which season and event that they are playing for. “I mean, it does look good still, so why change something that looks good still?” The Valentian Kittens zoom onto the field once again.

OOC NOTE: No uniforms for the Valentians for the time being. My Adobe subscription ran out, Inkscape and Affinity Designer are unable to replicate the .ai file 1:1, so… maybe soon I will make a new uniform. Previous uniform:

SQUADRA NAZIONALE DI JUVENCUS

Image


Information about Juvencus:
Capital: Pomena
Population: 130,656,702 ethnic Juven, with a total of 150,048,720 including naturalised immigrants.
Demonym: Juven
Country Code: JUE
Football Association: JFA(Juven Football Association)
Nicknames: Gli attaccanti(The attackers), La squadra(The team)
Football philosophy: At this point, to play football in Juvencus you need to understand that no matter who you are, pushing forward is the MOST essential core value you can bring in your game. Both strikers and defenders alike are equally likely to strike from any range at any time. Defense is not neglected, but is not as valued as being a scary goalscorer up front.
Official Record(WCC-Sanctioned only): 347 Games played(176 W - 72 D - 99 L)

La Squadra:


*BOLD & UNDERLINED INDICATES STARTER

Goalkeepers:

This is a spot traditionally given to the players with the fastest reaction times and the grit to withstand the pressure of being the goalkeeper in a team that cares way more to attack than to defend. Despite the shit they receive in comparison to the rest of the team, those are true inspirations on the pitch and are always treated as such by players and other managers alike.

GK:Juan Carlos Ungaro(Age 25)(U.S Scudelli)
Description: Taddeo Bulgari's retirement from international football has basically paved the way for Juan Carlos Ungaro to showcase his goalkeeping abilities on the big stage as la squadra's main goalkeeper. A positionally adept goalkeeper with a keen eye and focus on the game and with fast reflexes to top it all off. He is the perfect goalkeeper to sustain many oppositional attacks when it matters most.

GK:Sócrates Wright(Age 23)(AC Pomena)
Description: Wright might be a surprise entry in this list. But fret not as he possesses undeniably the best vision out of any goalkeeper in the Campionato and has managed to save the AC Pomena side from multiple embarrassments with his excellent leaps and heroics. He is a clutch goalkeeper and perfect for saving penalties.

GK:Iago Asputti(Age 26)(Pesebal BalunImage)
Description: Tremendously talented keeper known for his acrobatics due to his relatively short stature for a goalkeeper. Despite equal in skill to the other two, he lacks focus under pressure in comparison to them which puts him down to third choice.

Defenders:

The defender's position is always kept for players who are speedy, positionally adept and physically strong for their size and usually either have excellent leadership skills, game intelligence or a hot-headedness and most of a time a combination of the three. It is a position that also lacks the respect it deserves in Juven society, but it is one that is necessary in order to make it easier for the goalkeeper and the team as a whole.

CB:Carlo Callejon(Age 28)(Brattleboro FCImage)(Second Captain) (Captain)
Description: Callejon is a player that works on spite heavily, improving at a faster rate when there is more than win to gain. He is quick, and while hot-headed manages to at least keep his composure when he is pocketing strikers of all shapes and sizes. He possesses an accurate tackle and will rarely, if ever, get carded for that. He is also a leading presence in the pitch and will finally be getting the captain's armband this cycle.

CB:Pau Puig(Age 25)(AS AS Aguajú)
Description: Puig is a giant flesh wall to get through, while slow, he tends to position himself right and is impossible to dribble past. Other than that, he is also able to keep his teammates in check when it really matters(due to his imposing nature, but is prone to outbursts sometimes) and is very football-smart. He is also the defence's only reliable aerial duel winner, winning most, if not all aerial duels he participates in.

CB:Carlos Coste(Age 24)(Glenmount TownImage)
Description: Coste is a more offense-oriented defender as he has an eagle eye, with a good crossing ability. Carlos Coste is very focused in the game and possesses highly accurate passing that is useful for fast counter-attacks. He is the most level-headed defender which makes him an excellent replacement to his predecessor Izotz Ibarra.

CB:Lucia Agnelli(Age 24)(Victoriaville CityImage)
Description: Positionally adept with great tackling ability. Lucia Agnelli has all that is required of a Juven defender. Due to her small stature and short gravity center, she is also able to attempt risky dribbles on the defensive side with a high success rating.

CB:Izotz Ibarra(Age 35)(AC Pomena)
Description: Ibarra is no player to quit, he is still a strong positioned player and has an infamous crossing ability that few Juven players possess. Age might be creeping onto him but most of the time he will still perform as if he is in his peak years. He is still the main mentor for the younger defenders that he has bonded with over the years. He will be stepping to a substitute role before

Midfielders:

A midfielder is always a maestro on the pitch and depending on which side of the midfield they are in, their characteristics change. There's no pure centrocampista in Juvencus, instead players play as offensive-minded CDM's in the middle of the field. Those players usually have vision, exceptional passing or crossing and usually dictate the speed of the attack, the most necessary element of this team's tactics. They also fall back to form a bus when deemed absolutely necessary. In the sides, you have wide midfielders who act as supplementary wingers, players with speed who can provide to the wingers or the forwards when necessary. As such, you get to see fast players with great inward crossing and forward passing.

CDM:Pierre-Didier Kouyaté(Age 28)(U.S Scudelli)
Description: The half-Banijan mastermind of the team, Kouyaté has always been dubbed as the successor of Russo when it comes to his playstyle. Much like him, he will dictate the speed and pace of la squadra's play, with an excellent vision and brilliant passing ability to show for it, which contributes to the high amount of assists he provides. He can also fulfill the duties of a supplementary defender, as he possesses iron lungs and can move freely all around the pitch. He was a testiculos nominee for the last season.

CDM:Félix Sissoko(Age 25)(Kingston FCImage)
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 as endurant as his partner in crime, he makes up for it by being in the right place at the right time and playing his game. He is also lucky enough to have a slightly better chemistry with his squadmates than other players, no matter the enviroment.

RM:Simon Oliveira(Age 25)(Newark ArgyleImage)
Description: Simon Oliveira is very much a nuisance to play against, a swift dribbler, excellent passer with a high chance of raining long-distance attempts at a goal or assist, the Osci side's prospect has potential only few players could ever have. Lots of rumors see him returning to the Campionato for a chance at glory, however he is also keen on the improvement of his -formerly- native Oscioru.

LM:Michelangelo Santini(Age 30)(Dhun Lagarr FCImage)
Description: Santini is the fastest sprinter on the pitch. That is not his only trait, however as his speed usually gives him a lot of space to work with and organise multiple attacks from the sides, with a lot of volleys and crosses coming from his part to provide for a lot of goals that the team is meant to score.

CDM:Josefina Portieri(Age 25)(TihonImage)
Description: Josefina Portieri is a classic example of an accurate Juven passer and strong long distance shooter, traits that give her a commanding presence on the pitch. She is a player that can quickly change the tide of the game if given enough space, either by a surprise through-ball or even a goal out of nowhere. She is also a very technical player, with exceptional dribbling ability and is great at carrying the ball forward. At times she can be very impatient with the ball on her feet, but that adds up to the element of surprise she can offer.

CDM:Giuseppe Conte(Age 26)(U.S Scudelli)
Description: Giuseppe Conte is not the flashiest player in the team, however he has extremely effective crosses, owing to his high football iq as well as a sickening ball handling technique that makes it hard to get the ball away from him. Aside from that, he is also one of the few free kick specialists of the team.

RM:Júlien Cantù(Age 33)(Dhun Lagarr FCImage)
Description: Cantù has always been the orchistrator of right wing offenses, an accurate passer and pretty decent dribbler, he sticks to the sidelines most of the time. Might give that cheeky unexpected assist from out of nowhere and is also a very keen goalscorer especially from mid-range since he has a very odd shooting technique that gives any ball that jabulani(stole that from RLStates, ha) effect.

RM:Chimo Quaranta(Age 26)(AC Pomena)
Description: Chimo Quaranta is the definition of speed and intelligence, a mirror of Santini, yet slightly more intelligent with the ball on his feet and instead of being a faithful crosser, he prefers to keep the ball low while choosing volleys on occassion, with high levels of success.

LM:Lucien Cavallo(Age 28)(AC Pomena)
Description: AC Pomena's midfield menace, Cavallo is a flexible midfielder, often times switching sides in the midfield in an attempt to find the perfect position to orchistrate an organised attack which works most of the time. While not directly scoring or assisting much, his input is of utmost importance as he starts a number of frontline offensives which lead to goals.

LM:Carla Acquati(Age 24)(AC CuttiImage)
Description: Carla Acquati is an expert at making the long game. She is speedy, yet she also has the stamina of a marathon sprinter, players going up against her have been reported to fall on the ground. She was pivotal in AC Cutti's double.

Attackers:

A position held with the utmost respect as it has the most prestige in Juven football. The task to be picked for it is simple, you should know both how to score and how to supply goals. It is a position that has the most competition, as most talented Juven players are up in front and are very known across the multiverse for their prowess in front of the goal. As such, it is a position with a lot of pressure to be in, much like the goalkeeper. Wingers are fast, brilliant technicians who are excellent suppliers and have a confusingly good shooting technique. Strikers on the other, they have a strong finishing touch akin to an unstoppable force on a consistent level.

RF:Joao Pereyra(Age 26)(BrinemouthImage)
Description: A gifted technical player with the ball always stuck on his feet no matter how many people try to stop him. Once given the space, his finishing could be considered one of the most clinical in the team. While he also does not shy away from providing tons of assists for his teammates, since his exceptional dribbling allows him to open up space to use. Being a starter for one of the strongest teams in the multiverse in perhaps the strongest league in the multiverse, we are looking at a man who knows business.

LF:Ganymede Garcia(Age 25)(MipojoseonImage)
Description: Garcia is a big game player right off the bat as he will score that one random header or tap-in when you least expect it, a figure which shows how much of an instrumental finisher he is. With traits like that, he is perhaps the team's only remaining true poacher up front, despite his winger status. In Quebec, he has been playing out of position in the place of a central midfielder, but somehow he has managed to prove himself extremely pivotal in that position as well. He earned a testiculos nomination for a position he is not meant to be playing at, an indication of his class and adaptability.

CF:Julio Campana(Age 25)(New Lakeland Soccer ClubImage)
Description: Julio Campana comes from a bloodline of goalscorers. A strong right foot, he usually scores rockets when it comes to scoring from long distance and usually prefers to use his weaker left foot for chips and close-range shooting, for extra efficacy. He has a devastating header with a high goal percentage which is owed to the fact that his explosive jumps make him perfect for winning aerial duels. He has proven himself to be one of Cassadaigua's finest strikers, having won every trophy available to him in such a short span.

LF:Joaquim Martell(Age 39)(Ausharmuj MarusiImage)
Description: Despite his age, he remains the team's most technically sound player with his golden touch. That left foot can score any kind of goal from any side of the pitch, he can provide assists, he is still the most terrifying Juven presence on the pitch and for some reason he does not seem to be slowing down, being fast and agile still. The most legendary player in Juven history by far, he is looked up universally by everyone on the team. This will be his last cycle in la squadra and he has decided to step down from the starting XI despite Madeiros -and the rest of the team's- pleads to keep him in for one last ride. He believes that the young players approaching their peak will be more effective than he will be at his current state.

LF:Edu Coste(Age 25)(AC Pomena)
Description: Coste has a specific dribble that is always expected, yet impossible to stop no matter what you do. An inwards cut that came out from the book performed at such a speed that not even the most experienced defenders can stop and to top it all off, he has a shot with a fine finesse to it, making him one of the team's deadliest finishers.

RF:Patxi Etxeberria(Age 34)(AC Pomena)
Description: Etxerberria has decided to give some playing time to the younger generation by stepping down and becoming a substitution, so that there is more fluidity up front. That should not fool you however as he is still a dangerous player to play against and his numbers in the Campionato as well as international club competitions show for it.

RF:Gilberto Soares(Age 26)(U.S Scudelli)
Description: Though normally a deadly striker, Gilberto Soares possesses explosive speed which allows him to be dangerous out of dead air, which is a very critical trait for a winger and a player who could just not be left out of the team. He also possess cat-like leaps that allow him to jump high in the air, giving him an advantadge in headers.

CF:Giordano Limene(Age 29)(Garden CityImage)
Description: Limene is on fire, an unstoppable attacking machine that keeps on scoring and scoring with every given opportunity. Despite a long waiting time for his engines to start, when they do start, they do not stop no matter how many walls will be put on that defensive line. An innate ability for curved shots, it is very hard for any goalkeeper to stand a chance against him. He has been unstoppable in the Flavovespian league, bringing terror to the sides he has played against.

CF:Benedikto Urruchi(Age 26)(Gehrenna FCImage)
Description: If not for the generational talent of Campana, he would be the main striker for the team for years to come, he will be his scariest competition however. He is a clinical finisher, able to use both feet with high efficacy and is also incredibly fast. There is no way to stop him other than to foul him endlessly. He is also a penalty and free kick specialist, with a high conversion rate for both.

CF:Ceferino Audiol(Age 24)(Kirkenes FCImage)
Description: A hard worker that proved himself in the Quebecois league now finding himself in the Kelssek league. Spectacular in the air, he is known for catching headers better than most players while his footwork is not to be dismissed. He is a clinical finisher and much necessary in the depth of the most coveted spot in the national team.

CF:Adamantina Campana(Age 20)(Cordasfjord FCImage)
Description: The youngest of the Campana siblings, Adamantina Campana grew up to be just like them. She has all the traits of a deadly striker, positional awareness, accurate shooting, scary finishing, strength, heading. You name it, she has it. Alongside that, she also inherited the cold-bloodedness of her family in situations under pressure. All in all, a perfect striker.

Reserves:


Madeiros, seeing how the depth experiment performed in the 7 Nations Cup has decided to provide 2 reserve teams that may play against teams in the lower pots. He has named the teams "Equipo Arragoeta" and "Equippe 7NC".

GK:Olarre Gabarri(Age 30)(U.S Remeno)
CB:Gustavo Serbo(Age 27)(FC Herone)
CB:Salvo Baldi(Age 22)(Herona Calcio)
CB:Loane Acqua(Age 25)(FC Piluzzi)
CDM:Teodora Garcia(Age 31)(FC Piluzzi)
CDM:Vitale Cino(Age 27)(AC Picilia)
RM:Ekain Zuñiga(Age 34)(AS Aguajú)
LM:Léo Henriques(Age 31)(Herona Calcio)
LF:Sergio Freitas(Age 26)(FC Piluzzi)
RF:Maria Zambrotta(Age 26)(North LaithlandImage)
CF:Demetra Armando(Age 21)(Herona Calcio)
GK:Luisinho Palazzo(Age 31)(Odiol Vinceti)
CB:Ottavio Perot(Age 24)(USC Toro)
CB:Teodora Alberto(Age 32)(Canzaria FCImage)

CDM:Belinha Leone(Age 29)(AC Pomena)
RM:Moïse Naggi(Age 26)(U.S Scudelli)
LM:Teofilo Greco(Age 28)(AS Aguajú)
RF:Tatiana Vicario (Age 21)(AS Aguajú)
LF:Pompeo Tailler (Age 31)(Union JuvenImage)
CF:Angelina Turati (Age 27)(FC Herone)


Main formation:

Image

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

Roster comments: The team has virtually no changes in its main core, but with the inclusion of reserve teams the main players are bound to be getting some rest as Madeiros will be looking to bring back rotated lineups so that every player gets some playing time. Seeing as the team managed to finish 3rd in both Cup of Harmony and the Independents Cup it is presented with the following issues. Having a talented group of footballers with a good mixture of old and young is always an advantadge but losing two semi-finals in a row is a big issue and Madeiros will be looking to work on that. The other one is that it is finally time for the team to prove itself to be a big dog and finally get its shot at the grandest stage of them all, the world cup. With the potential all out there, it will not be impossible for the team to achieve it, so long as Madeiros keeps them all united as a core just like the last Cup of Harmony and Independents Cup.

Stadiums:

For this cycle, it has been decided it would be best to give the team a tour all over the country

Il Nuovo Stadio Olimpico della Pomena, Pomena(Capacity: 137,000)
Image


The Nuovo Stadio Olimpico in Pomena is a state of the art and gargantuan stadium, it hosts the games of the national team as well as the Copa Juve final. It has all sorts of amenities in and out of it from shops, to vendors, lounges as well as everything else one can put on their mind. It also used to serve as the home of AC Pomena prior to its move to Stadio Gianluca IV stadium.

The stadium of the capital has a different vibe from the previous Vinceti Catedral, all this colorful vibrance suddenly turns into an intimidating atmosphere which accurately represents the deep history of the nation. The chants feel a lot like a call to arms, ready to strengthen the Juven players while drums rhythmically beat through the entirety of the game. If a goal is scored, the loudest screams are to be heard throught the entire city, every celebration starting from this place is an emotional, triumphant celebration, echoing through the nation. After hosting the 3rd place playoff of the Independent Associations Cup 16, it is a safe stadium to visit and the people in it will try to carry on the legacy.

Located on the legendary Taranta Quartier of Pomena, it is in a central position not too far away from the city center and it is easily accessible by any means necessary, such as by train(being near the Taranta, Antelope and Vittoria stations), by bus, or by car.


Stadio Gianluca IV, Pomena(Capacity: 85,000)
Image

Stadio Gianluca IV is the newest major stadium to be built in the nation funded directly by the Holy Emperor himself. It is a state-of-the-art facility with all the newest multiversal stadium technologies in use, such as airconditioning and artificial grass that feels like its real equivalent among others. Stadio Gianluca IV has been the home of AC Pomena for the past couple seasons and it has already created an impression as an impressive and daunting place to step into, let alone play. Expect the players and fanbase to have more of a grit in this stadium as it is building itself up to be a cathedral of dreams.

It is located in the Casa Reale Quartier of Pomena, a very central position right on the richest part of the city and it is very easily accsible by both car, train or bus. By train an individual would have to get out at either the Casa Reale station or the Castelnuovo station.


Il Scudelliano, Scudelli(Capacity: 55,000)
Image

U.S Scudelli's ground, Il Scudelliano is the city's marvel. It is a square structure where the seats are literally next to the pitch, allowing for pitch invasions to happen at any time. Thankfully security personnel keep a tight look and as such they do not happen often. On the other hand, it also positively enhances the performances of the players by receiving positive chants from the fans this close to them while simultaneously making the pitch tremble as if there is an earthquake happening.

Located at the Toluja Ward of Scudelli, it is very easily accessible by all means such as cars, train, bus or whatever else. By train an individual would have to disembark at the Toluja, Scudelliano or Pax Pomen stations.


Stadio Electrico, Aguajú(Capacity: 34,000)
Image


A stadium built and supported in majority by funds of its supporters, who own a large share of their favorite club, AS Aguajú. It has a sky blue roof(that is also color-changing) and an odd square shape. It has a reputation for being a stadium with an electric atmosphere, almost as if one is being inside a thunderstorm. The locals of Aguajú are known for their impulsivity and striking behavior when supporting their favorite sports teams, with gli attaccanti being no exception.

Located at the 29 Novembre Municipality, it is accessible by car, train or bus. By train it is reached by stopping at the 29 Novembre and Diletta Guietti stations.

WCQ93 squad



Formation:
5-4-1

Style Modifier:

Nickname:
The Dandelions

Uniforms (Supplied by Siru) - Home/Away

ImageImage

The Dandelion squad for the 93rd World Cup Qualification campaign consists of a core of seasoned players who have all been a part of the teams representing the Union since the present wave of international competition kicked off during the 91st WC qualification cycle. A few of the previous Dandelions have grown old, and retired from international play. Still others aren’t quite there yet, but this may very well be their last outing. A select few new faces have joined the squad. After convincing performances in the latest Cup of Harmony and Copa Rushmori, there’s a tangible sensation of anticipated greatness vibrating throughout the Union. Of course, expectation is the death of accomplishment, as the worryingly elderly coach Eriksen is fond of saying. So, disappointment seems assured.

About the Prosaic Union
The Prosaic Union of Gnejs – commonly abbreviated PUG, colloquially called 'The Union', often nicknamed 'The Rock' – is a country located in the far north-east of Rushmore. A constant source of bewilderment for many, the name Gnejs comes from the native word for the type of metamorphic rock called gneiss in English and German. The root of the word is believed to derive from the High German gneist, meaning roughly 'spark', the link being that the rock glitters. Gneiss is a common rock type across the territory making up the modern-day nation, and has historically been a readily used building material component.


A vast and sparsely populated land, The Union covers about 1 220 000 square kilometres and has a population of just under 16 million. It is divided into four big regions – Berg (north), Birka (east), Ängby (west) and Vika (south) – which in turn are divided into counties and municipalities. The Interior compromises an immense area of more or less untouched wilderness at the heart of the country's inland and covers parts of all four regions. The capital city is called Port Kejm – located on the coast in the region Birka.

People in general are quiet and reserved. While idle small talk without purpose amongst strangers might be considered appropriate and expected some places, in The Union it is usually frowned upon and considered bothersome. The native tongue is called 'Gnejsian' (native: gnejsiska) and has a long and rich history. There's an abundance of regional dialects, some so distinct from others that many have suggested they really constitute different – albeit strongly related – languages. It is common to divide the many dialects into three different 'families', north-eastern (OOC: Norwegian), western (OOC: Swedish) and southron (OOC: Danish). Children learn English (known in The Union as 'the common tongue') from the age of five, and the population at large is generally considered to be fluent.

WCQ-93 Squad

Postby Delte » Mon Jan 23, 2023 9:31 am


World Cup 93
River Delte Representative Team
Tournament Squad

My opponent, if they RP first, may consider:
Everything permitted: Yes
Pick The Teams: Yes
Reciprocity: Yes

Attacking Modifier: +3

Home Colours: All Green of The Valley
Away Colours: All Redshirts Away Team [as the finals are considered an Away Team Mission, this will be the first choice kit in Tumbra & Chromatika]
Third Colour: All Gargoyle Salmon Gold

Nickname: The Representatives
Formation: Attack-minded 4-4-2 Diamond
Team Anthem: Three Salmon On Our Shirts (Never Stop The Leaping)

The Representatives are a team of amateur players from the Delte Valley area of a largely empty corner sidewise of the North Pacific region. There is a national shortage of graphic designers along the River Delte, with the one professional - young Slim Dyndeling, who plays football for Ughmirren FC in the Delte Valley Tuesday Evening & Sunday Lunchtime Super League - failing to win selection for the representative team yet again and continuing therefore to refuse helping out with natty team graphics.

The Delte Valley Tuesday Evening & Sunday Lunchtime Super League is the principle men's 11-a-side league and The Representatives are a men's team; women's football along the river is primarily under the auspices of the Friday Night & Saturday Morning Ultra Premier League, a six-a-side highly technical fútsal code. The women of the Delte prefer not to engage in silly games of 22.

The Representatives
Home & Away Squads

As explained in the previous World Cup cycle, a condition known as hyper-gerontological syndrome, HGS, or commonly 'The Jerry' has impacted on travelling outside of the Delte Valley. To mitigate against this, the All-Week Super Ultra Premier Football Association, the FA, have forbidden previous squad members who travelled to away matches in previous cycles from travelling this time, to preserve their health. Therefore the FA operates two squads for qualification, a home team and an away team almost entirely made up of new playes.

IMPORTANT NOTE: 'The Jerry' is not a virus and is not contagious. It is a genetic condition that affects only Deltic people, although there is early research to suggest that it could have a beneficial effect on long-term visitors to the Valley. Watch this RP space for more details on that.

The Deltic people are a stoic bunch, and the team plays in this style - not over emotional, not flashy, not given to wild celebration or remonstrating with referees, not diving or faking injuries. They shake hands when they score goals and pat each other on the back in encouragement when they concede them. Matches might be high scoring as they prefer an attacking formation but off the ball it's all rather pedestrian. They're not much use for post-match interviews.

Links in the squad list will take you to bios of the selected player, where they exist.

A total of five players from the last Cup of Harmony Away Team Special Mission make the home squad including three refugees from the Cooper River, whilst Cup of Harmony coach Romain Rivière joins the main coaching team as joint assistant to Mr. Clentin. Of the five, Steed Tombes is named in the First XI for his excellent goalkeeping and natural leadership abilities, relegating usual keeper Osward Ess to backup status. Three veterans make way - Ustan Galtona (38), Ard Shytaugh (36) and Kim Angeman (33) along with a couple of rookie goalkeepers - Elmrod Onry (18) and Aughran Lerold (20) - who will no doubt hope to return when they have a little more experience under their gloves. Most notably however, Coach Clentin has changed his coaching team with Morho Bellish stepping down and highly rated Ughmirren FC coach Mo Unden taking his place as joint assistant with Romain.

The Away Team, below, features an all-new batch of players who are free to travel abroad, captained and co-managed (dogs help us) by the only professional footballer from the Valley, Enor Perro, who gets a pass to play away again because he lives in the far faraway of Farfadillis anyway, and already has a serious dose of the Jerry as a result. He seems to be living with it, even if he does look five to seven years older than he should. Other notable inclusions are the three Rothdaring brothers, Raggar, Cheddar and Olddar - the core of the Askirk defence that, um, was relegated last season. Naturally there is a postman involved to give this amateur team the magic formula for success in the shape of midfielder Kelta Geldden, whilst there are four workers from the Underdelte - Raggar Rothdaring, Garloe Cherynn, Jerry Quaess and Turbe Lardterry. If you've never heard of the Underdelte - and why should you, this is the first time I've mentioned it - never fear, an RP series is near (but not this cycle).

RW Takanobu Tavano - 24 y- NK Dinamo Katanija
The best player in that position and probably the best player in the league ever. The ceiling is 177 cm high and weighs 67 kilograms. Probably a fast player on the right wing is simply unstoppable. Because of his speed and technique, two players run into him in defense and sometimes three. This creates a surplus on the field and is very dangerous there. With one move he is able to add the ball with incredible precision. Its market price is dizzying.

He scored the most goals with his head from the corner, he can jump high and the defenders who should guard him are usually lower than him.


ST Isidor Matković - 25 y - NK Torpedo Melarit
Isidor Matković, 183 cm and 79 kg , the absolute star of the league.

His sense of goal is the most pronounced of all the players in DR Srednjaci. Incredible shot, strong and technically refined. His turn and sprint are famous. It is difficult to keep him because he is constantly on the move and in addition to goals, he is often an assistant. He is the most talented player in the league and he will surely lead the battle with Tavano to be the best player in the league. Top scorer of national team on Baptism of Fire tournament, World Cup qualifikations and both IAC tournaments.


ST Li Peng - 27 y - NK Dinamo Katanija
