THE TRUE VALHALLAN FEDERATION OF POLAR ISLANDSTATES ROSTER FOR WORLD CUP 94 QUALIFIERS
Nation Name: The True Valhallan Federation of Polar Islandstates
Demonym: Valhallans (or Polarians)
Team Nickname: The Terns
Official Supporters Group: ~~Outlawed~~

KIT COLOURS:
AWAY - HOME (w/ Reverse) - KEEPER

HOME STADIUM:
Nasjonale Stadion - 67,481 (Franz Josef City)

STAFF:
Manager: Iosef Miroshnichenko, 55

Record in Charge: P 4, W 1, D 1, L 2, GF 2, GA 3, GD -1, WP 25%
A True Valhallan, Iosef played for the Terns way back in Copa Rushmori XXVII, albeit mostly from the bench. Never quite hit the heights that people expected from him whilst he was an international player, but has turned out to be quite the astute tactician during the long decades of closed borders. Has been handed the reins of the national team by the newly re-formed VFA for this first tournament out of international isolation, and you can rest assured that Party members and the OO will be watching him closely. It's no big deal; it's only our international reputation at stake. Now, sit up straight, get your hand on your heart, and sing the national anthem. Louder! And hold still, I'm trying to stitch a bit more gold braid onto your epaulettes...

Assistant Manager: Federico Aalto, 50

A True Valhallan, Aalto's Külmsaari background means he is born from the same cradle that supported the Party in their rally against Sargossan influence and used it to gain power in the Federation. The Party will be relying on his presence to subconsciously remind the players of what is at stake this campaign - i.e. the mission to prove to the Multiverse that Valhalla Stronk. VFA members will also be hoping that his attacking tendencies temper Miroshnichenko's conservative leanings. Clean sheets are important, sure, but scoring is fun. Now, sing up! Aut pax, aut bellum!

PLAYERS:
#1 - GK - Hans Aigner - Age 28 -

East Franz Athletic

- 4 Caps
A True Valhallan and a truly safe pair of hands. The Terns might not have covered themselves in gory at the Copa during their return to international football, but without Aigner in the goalmouth, things could have been a whole lot worse. Still young for a goalkeeper, Miroshnichenko will be hoping that Aigner can be the bedrock of the Terns' defence for years to come. It would take a very good player indeed to unseat him, that's for sure.

#2 - WBR - Johannes Braun - Age 27 -

SK Nasjonale Hauker

- 4 Caps
A True Valhallan, Braun's emergence as a right-back in the same mould of the legendary Moses Luc Bjerregaard can be traced back to the money they invested in their youth academy following their hot streak of league titles. Excitingly for both Hauker and the Terns, he isn't the only player in this squad that you can say that about. Lightning quick, he sacrificed a promising track career to concentrate on football, and his pace makes up for his lack of pure tactical awareness. Expect to see him bombing down the wing in support of Heimark as often as the manager lets him.

#3 - WBL- Jens Carlquist - Age 29 -

Northbrook Diamonds FK

- 4 Caps
A True Valhallan, Northbrook captain Carlquist is a strong, no-nonsense kind of wing-back, who is usually happy to let others do the running. He's as fast as the modern game requires a player in his position to be, but his strength lies not in dribbling. Instead, he acts as a wide anchor in attack; pinging cross-field diagonals and possession retaining short passes as and when required. Has lifted two of the last three Divisjon One titles with the Diamonds, and hates losing.

#4 - DC - Magnus Dahm - Age 32 -

Northbrook Diamonds FK

- 4 Caps
A True Valhallan, Magnus Dahm has spent his whole career at Northbrook, and like Carlquist has been instrumental all of their recent success. A man mountain, he was never the most nimble or agile players even when he was fresh out of the academy, so he needs to be surrounded by other players who can help to get him out of trouble when he's slow off the mark. But for sheer leader, you'll be hard pressed to find a better rock to base your defence around.

#5 - DC - Odbjorn Ohm - Age 21 -

FC1. Bjarnarey Flotilla

- 2 Caps
A True Valhallan, Ohm was one of the stars of the recent DBC campaign in Valanora and Banija. He had already shown enough in the squad at the last Copa to usurp Olsen in the starting eleven by the time the crucial game against Sargossa rolled around, and that DBC campaign did him no harm whatsoever. Much is hoped for in Bjarnarey from this kid, and he's going the potential to be one of the Bargemen's all timers if he keeps up this trajectory - he's already done enough to be the only change to the expected first choice eleven from the Copa squad...

#6 - DC - Onni Boes - Age 29 -

East Franz Athletic

- 4 Caps - Vice-Captain
A True Valhallan. Onni Boes is one of the biggest characters in the dressing room, famously being discovered halfway out to sea on a Kuril fishing vessel three days after the last time East Franz won the league title, alongside two circus acrobats, a stuffed fox, no memory of how he got there, and a crushing headache. Elaborate and flamboyant, he's more like an attacking midfielder trapped in a centre-back's body sometimes, but he makes the game fun to watch. And with Miroshnichenko's emphasis on defence, that might be crucial to watching audiences this campaign. The fans love him, and so will your television editors. You know the phrase "if a defender has to make a tackle then they've already made a mistake"? Yeah. Not that.

#7 - AMC - Sebastian Nylund - Age 23 -

Northbrook Diamonds FK

- 4 Caps, 1 Goal
A True Valhallan, Nylund is one of only two players to have scored for the senior team, adding the second goal against Kirungabi with a delightful indirect free-kick to confirm Miroshnichenko's only win in international football so far. Can operate as a number ten but does tend to drift wide, a fact that the tactics are set up to exploit. Expect to see him pop up when and where you least expect him too, and good luck trying to mark him.

#8 - DMC - Ragnar Holst - Age 26 -

SK Aasiaat Harbour

- 4 Caps
A True Valhallan, Ragnar Holst was only a teenager when he helped propel Aasiaat to their only Divisjon One titles so far. Aasiaat may not have maintained that form, but Ragnar himself has. He's got fierce competition now form another teenager attempting to emulate him, but it looks for now like he's got the number eight position locked down. Smart, clever, and lets his feet do the talking, particularly on the edge of either box.

#9 - ST - Dmitry Eisenhauer - Age 29 -

SK Franz Josef City

- 4 Caps, 1 Goal
A True Valhallan, Eisenhauer is probably the closest the Terns have come in recent years to emulating Timo Skye. At least, in terms of ego. Unlikely to be remembered in the same breath as the great man, or even in the same breath as the next six or seven great men to have scored goals for the Terns, he is nonetheless as very capable and skilful striker who is extremely good at hitting the ball cleanly, and incredibly hard. When Eisenhauer kicks it, it stays kicked. Was snapped up by SK from Sibir at a young age, his ego is now befitting the team that thinks they have a Thor-given-right to win everything every season, which is at least something else he has in common with Skye.

#10 - MC - Oscar Pallasmaa - Age 26 -

FC1. Bjarnarey Flotilla

- 4 Caps, 1 Assist - CAPTAIN
A True Valhallan, Pallasmaa is possibly the most talented all round midfielder the Federation has produced in a generation. Adept at holding, knowing when to press forwards, and when to let loose with one of his famous long range passes, it is impossible to imagine the modern Bjarnarey without him, such is the club and even the city's reliance on him as a talisman. Grew up within sight of The Barge, he is a local hero to the Bjarnese, and fast becoming a national one, too. Leads by example, and is the first name on the teamsheet every time. A potential all-timer.

#11 - AMC - Einar Heimark - Age 21 -

East Franz Athletic

- 4 Caps, 1 Assist
A True Valhallan, Heimark is the only member of the DBC squad to have already been a starter for the senior team at the time, so it was slightly surprising that he wasn't necessarily the stand-out star of that tournament for the Chicks. Nonetheless, he is an energetic and direct attacking midfielder who will need other players to do some of the legwork for him. Operating almost as a second striker for his club side, his ability to draw defenders out of position should in theory create plenty of space for Eisenhauer to exploit.

#12 - GK - Niko Wederberg - Age 33 -

FC1. Surtsey Island Gulls

- Uncapped
A True Valhallan, Wederberg has played for almost half the teams in Divisjon One at this point, and seems to have been around forever. His attempts to help SK end their title drought came up short, so he got bored and has moved to Surtsey since the end of the Copa, with Alexandersson moving the other way. Nevermind. He'll probably end up at Resolute Storm or North Star next season (two more clubs on his stampcard and he gets a free one), and might even have a couple of international caps to his name by then.

#13 - GK - Jori Sipp - Age 22 -

Jan Mayen Islanders

- Uncapped
A True Valhallan, Sipp's performances at the DBC impressed Miroshnichenko enough to earn himself a call-up into the senior squad, replacing the only slightly older Alexandersson. Is unlikely to be here to provide much more than depth and competition for Aigner, but could well be destined for big things. A nimble and cat-like penalty specialist... which would be useful if there were shoot-outs in the qualifiers.

#14 - AMC - Elvis Haugen - Age 21 -

FC Axel Heiburg

- Uncapped
A True Valhallan, Haugen is in the same boat as Sipp in this his string of performances at the DBC convinced Miroshnichenko, or the selection panel at least, to take a punt on the latest all-round export from the Haapa-Mechelin Youth Academy to start setting their sights on international domination. Not quite as a direct as Heimark, his touch and strength in possession, alongside his short and stocky frame, means getting the ball off him can be almost impossible. A great asset for keeping the ball out of dangerous areas whilst protecting a lead - attack being the best form of defence and all that...

#15 - WBL - Vilhjalmur Wedlund - Age 25 -

FC Axel Heiburg

- 1 Cap
A True Valhallan, Wedlund is one of the first names on Axel Heiburg's teamsheet at the moment, but still has some tricks to learn if he's going to displace Carlquist form the Terns' starting line-up. His approach to the game is almost the exact opposite to Carlquist's, which means he remains a good option form the bench when the management want to shake things up, but don't expect to see him stating many games whilst the Northbrook man is in form.

#16 - WBR - Rafael Kowaleski - Age 30 -

SK Aasiaat Harbour

- 1 Cap
A True Valhallan, there isn't much that Kowaleski can't do with a football. It seems at times like he was born with an innate knowledge of whereabouts the football and both goals were at all times. He does sometimes lose concentration and forget where he's supposed to be, or who he's supposed to be marking, but for mostly risk-free backups you don't need to worry about, he's hard to beat in the Federation right now.

#17 - DMC - Nic Dementieva - Age 19 -

North Star Grímsey

- Uncapped
A True Valhallan and a real firecracker of a midfielder, Nic Dementieva is curating a growing reputation for wild hair, impassioned tackling, and a ferocious appetite for winning the ball. Still has some maturing to do no doubt, but if you wanted to point him in the direction of the opposition playmaker and say, "Nic; destroy," then you're going to see fireworks. Gives off a sort of 'psychiatric patient' aura that can be deeply unsettling for the opposition. If you genuinely thought your marker didn't care one bit about staying on the pitch or not, you do tend to temper your actions somewhat. And yet, has never been sent off. Yet.

#18 - ST - Emmanuele Niemi - Age 20 -

SK Nasjonale Hauker

- 2 Caps
A True Valhallan, Emmanuele Niemi was the talk of the Federation when he lit up the DBC with his goalscoring, almost single-handedly propelling the Chicks all the way to the semi-finals before a freak gym accident left him on the operating table. Now playing with only one thumb, he cuts an unusual figure on the field, simultaneously looking like he's both craving attention and trying to go under the radar at the same time, and he has a very distinctive run. You can't argue with goals however, and Nasjonale look like they've secured a gem here. His father is also a former Polarian u21s international, and he was born in the Fallenmakr capital of Marylebone, which is sometimes a controversial topic for some of the authorities. Turns out that even they can't argue with goals however, and Niemi is pushing Eisenhauer hard for that number nine shirt.

#19 - MC - Noah Leonhardt - Age 27 -

SK Franz Josef City

- 1 Cap
A True Valhallan, Noah Leonhardt has a bit of an unfair reputation for being the most boring man in Polarian football. A classic watercarrier, or shuttler, he doesn't stand out or appear to do anything particularly noteworthy at either end of the pitch. He scored once for SK last season - his first in three season - and some commentators genuinely didn't have the stats for his last goal totals in even their back-up notes. Fans have been known to groan when he is announced in the starting line-up, or when coming on as a sub, and yet he keeps plugging away. Managers love him, and you'd miss him if he wasn't there.

#20 - ST - Youssef Nijgaard - Age 19 -

FC1. Bjarnarey Flotilla

- Uncapped
A True Valhallan, exploded into the national consciousness with some electrifying performances at the Copa with his strike partner Emmanuele Niemi. So impressive was it, in fact, that the entire nation seemed to be clamouring for his inclusion in the World Cup squad. Another Bjarnese native, the little floating city seems to be producing a little golden generation at the moment, and this particular member of that generation is going to have a point to prove during this World Cup. More of a deep lying player than an out-and-out finisher, he is a dream of a strike partner to have for others - the only problem being that if Miroshnichenko wants to get the best out of him he's going to have to go two up front.

#21 - MC - Gustav Kommersen - Age 27 -

SK Aasiaat Harbour

- 2 Caps
A True Valhallan, Gustav has been Aasiaat's chief playmaker for three seasons now, and the Victorrinn club is being built around the midfield combination of him and Holst. The pair have been split up in the naitonal team thanks to the strength of Pallasmaa in Kommersen's position, but Kommersen is taking it in his stride, happy instead to provide cover and competition for the Terns captain. A free kick specialist, so don't be surprised to see him thrown on in the last few minutes if Miroshnichenko decides to play for set pieces in search of a late winner or equaliser.

#22 - DC - Heino Olsen - Age 26 -

SK Franz Josef City

- 3 Caps
A True Valhallan, Olsen was in the starting line-up at the start of the Copa, and will be disappointed to see his place lost to Ohm. Is on a mission to claim his spot back as a result, and appears to have doubled his levels of professionalism. Tall and gangly, he looks like he'd be easy to outmuscle in the box, but possesses a wiry sort of strength that has surprised many an attacker not just with his ability to hold them off, but also with the length of his legs - that seem to have just the extra inches required to beat them to the ball when it really matters.

#23 - DC - Aapo Miroshnichenko - Age 22 -

East Franz Athletic

- 1 Cap
A True Valhallan, and yes, the manager's son. He is actually good, though. Really good. Assuming he eclipses his father and manages to live up to the expectations that many hold for him, then a very bright future awaits indeed. The final member of the u-21s squad that finished runners-up at DBC55 to be included in this roster, but with Aapo also gaining his first cap in the Copa Rushmori this was never really in doubt either.

TACTICS: 3-4-2-1
The Polarian game was famous for being methodical in its approach, calmly assessing where the weaknesses of the opposition lay before ruthlessly attacking and exploiting them mercilessly, all whilst being technically superb and abrasive in defence. Miroshnichenko has started his reign however by making sure that this internationally naive bunch of players are hard to beat first and foremost. They will attempt to frustrate the opposition in order to avoid humiliation on this return to the international stage, rather than play any sweeping attacking football that leaves us open at the back.

The back three of Dahm, Ohm, and Boes will not be taking unnecessary risks, and will sit back at almost all times, only really going beyond the halfway line should a corner be taken. Braun and Carlquist will often be the first line in attack when a counter-attack is sprung, rushing forwards quickly to support Nylund and Heimark in their task of supplying throughballs and chips forward for Eisenhauer - a skilled technical finisher and extremely capable physical player. The midfield of Pallasmaa and Holst will largely be tasked with protecting the defence and breaking up the attacks of the opposition, although Pallasmaa's eye for a pass means in games we dominate he will often be the metronome in the heart of the field.

Likely frustrated by this conservative approach will be assistant manager Federico Aalto, whose basis in the Külmsaari game means his base instinct is to always attack. With one coach hellbent on defending, and the other on attacking, the newly rebadged Valhallan Football Association have hired the perfect combination of talent to advertise Secretary General's 'True Valhallan' way of life to the outside multiverse for the first time in nearly three decades.

Modification: -4

Record going into World Cup 94:

THE OPPONENT CAN
Choose my goalscorers? Yes.
Godmod scoring events? Yes.
RP injuries to my players? Yes, within reason, and I reserve the right to change the severity in a follow-up RP.
Godmod injuries to my players? Yes, as above.
Hand out yellow cards to my players? Yes.
Hand out red cards to my players? Yes, but only 2 per match maximum, and never to my captain or vice-captain.
Godmod other events? I'll have a lot of my own story going on this cycle, so TG me first, please, but I'm always open to ideas.

A quick IC note for your RPs:
The Federation is no longer the bastion of civil rights and political freedoms that you might remember. The long absence from international sport is thanks to an isolationist and paranoid military police state taking over, using whipped up fear against the Sargossans' claim to Külmsaar and Terra Scotia as both carrot and stick. Citizens are now preoccupied with achieving the title of True Valhallan, which is acquired through either military service, civil service, outstanding conduct, or as of recently, representing your national in international sport.

Quite why they've done all this is yet to be ascertained exactly, but the exercise is being described as a good way to advertise the new Valhalla to the outside world. No doubt Secretary General Orion Lund has an ulterior motive, however.

As an aside, the nation has also taken a rather more bullying tone towards the rest of the Valhallan Union, with Minor Valhalla now very much pressured into living up to the definition of its geographical title, and not best pleased about it.

So, the nation is no longer closed, but Valhallan fans will not yet be permitted to travel in large numbers, and organised supporters groups are currently illegal. Visiting fans to the Nasjonale will be capped at 500, but entry requirements will be strenuous, and expect your citizens to be highly scrutenised, policed, and quite possibly spied on by Observation Officers during their stay. It's nothing personal, sorry. We just need to make sure you're who you say you are. And not a violent Fallenmark secessionist. Expect plenty of shady support staff to follow the Terns abroad, too.

In short; it's Valhalla, Jim, but not as we know it...

Aut pax, aut bellum!

TROLLEBORG NATIONAL TEAM

Nickname: Trolls

Preferred color of the team is green, with white and red versions as second choice. All three was obvious choice, since they all are present at the national flag. Blue color is one that associated with medieval color of arms of the time when Trolleborg undergo a great test of strenght.

NATIONAL TEAM

Team now enters 10th World Cup Qualifying, with having 223 victories, 71 draws and 109 loses in the whole history, and 110-37-52 record in the WCQ. Three times team won a spot in the World Cup proper, but tournaments of recent years brought mostly disappointment. Task of head coach looked even more formidable by the fact that he will need to find way to work without “Golden Generation”, since last players from the squad, which won BoF, Melayu Cup and Cup of Harmony, retired from the national team right before tournament.

COACH

61-years old Morten Troghil is a manager of the team since its creation. It it he who won three international tournaments and five times lead team to their final games. But also it is he who responsible for the recent decline of the team position in the world ranks table. Some people continue to ask, if he is have any new ideas. But people of Trolleborg give him overwhelming vote of confidence recently.

PLAYERS

GOALKEEPERS

Morten Kerr (29). This is very skilful and intelligent player. By virtue of his reflexes, bravery and clear reading of the game he have a recognition from the fans notwithstanding which team. But it was not clear, if he remains number one, because of:
Buyo (25). One of the people who migrate into Trolleborg after country open himself to the world ten years ago, he is recent addition to the team. While playing for the team that just promoted to the Trolleborg League and fights for survival, this goalkeeper proved tremendously difficult to beat, on a good day he become real wall, almost unbeatable for even best Trolleborg strikers. He recently have a very good seasons in local league, but right now decline to move out of his club, which is middle-level team without great ambitions, and some pundits say this influence his form negatively.
Torben Fingall (25). Prove himself efficient and reliable, he has a great talant of well-positioning himself, and extremely fast in addition. He have some playing time in the recent tournaments, but clearly he is number 3 in the fight for a shirt of national team goalkeeper.

DEFENDERS

Kasper Wolters (33). Despite his age, he is very strong, and relatively fast. In the past he substituted right midfielders and use his crossing skill to add something to the attacking might of the team, but right now prefer to concentrate on the defensive duties. Most probably coach give him a spot in the subs, just for the case.
Torstein Bjerkelund (25). Right defender was part of the “Finn Hurps” squad that won Confederations Trophy, in the recent games of international club tournaments he prove that he doesn't get frightened when he has to fight for the ball with stronger and more experienced players. He also prove this at the national team and ready to fight for a spot on the right flank with Schendel – or, being relatively young, sub him after valiant veteran will retire.
William Schendel (29). Versatile fast moving defender known for his skillful positioning and man-marking, highly effective in breaking opposition attacks, great in the heading, with incredible high crosses-interception rate. Everyone note that he drastically improve his performance recently and with experience he add many new tricks to his arsenal.
Joran Du Riis (33). Cold-blooded fighter prove that he more than capable holding his own at the highest level. Agile and fast-moving, but solidly builded and used this for his advantage, he play with composure and responsibility, he was a key player of the Trolleborg defence. This was especially so because of the Aien Troger retirement from the team.
Miran Fizer (31). This very robust player has a nickname “Greaven”, meaning in Trollish language a very strong sort of mountain stone. Miran have a great positioning skills, he fight for every ball, dominant in the aerial game and very tight marker, but he looked like person totally devoid of any constructive capacity. He capable only of limited passing and never goes far forward. His mode of work usually limited to disrupting any activity by the opposing team in his area of responsibility, and once in possession of the ball, he usually sends it wherever direction he face. He was not succeed in his tasks in the national team up to date, but coach, nevertheless, add him to the lineup.
Kjell Helvig (25). This brave defender shows commitment and hard work in every game, in addition to good positional sense, and prove himself very difficult to beat by opposition forwards. Being very mobile, he frequently moves forward to support attack. He shown noticeable progress in the few last years, and made it to the national team squad. It will be seen, are he will be a man up to the tasks situation give him.
Thomas Heg (26). This versatile defender can play as both central or left defender, but he best suited as a former. His movements are sure and quick, he is masterful when intercepting ball and excellent in the air. Albeit he is not prove himself too great in the national team, coach give him another try.
Joran Rijsager (29). Left defender or central defender as coach see fit, he concedes nothing to rivals and rarely makes a mistakes in local league, but his performance at the national team up to date is not too convincing.
Joos Haankrands (27). Left defender, agile and fast, he have makings of the first-rate star on his position, but right now it was not clear, is he is on the way to greatness. Probably it will be seen in WCQ games.

MIDFIELDERS

Anselm Kollimor (28). Attack-minded right-side midfielder. His runs into the box of rival teams is always dangerous. But he will have a tough fight for the spot at the team lineup, since he has to fight for a spot with Jesper Gronholm.
Jesper Gronholm (30). Established member of the team, he was comfortable at the right flank as midfielder and winger, willingly join any move forward, where he pass ball quickly and thoughtfully, and sometimes shot at goal with a very decent results. But at the recent tournaments he was not too convincing, and, most probably, coach give a spot on the right flank to someone else.
Jesper Wolters (27). Quick, skillful and creative, this central midfielder covers a lot of ground, taking part in defensive work and joining attacks willingly. But he has a clear difficulties adapting to the international football recently, lost his spot in the lineup and move to the subs.
Torben Reper (26). Having good vision and great touch on the ball, in addition to his great passing ability, he is good midfield organizer. Intelligent, hard working player with impressive physical condition, he is capable to make tremendous runs from deep and have a good eye for a goal.
Brutil Skrta (28). Very complete player, who posessed ability, stamina, flair, technique and resoluteness in just perfect mix. Shows tremendous accuracy when passing, fine distant shooting skills, he moved very fast and prove his talents brilliantly in the last few tournaments. But he lacked something to be the player like Morten Troll was in his best years
Kenneth Pathmoor (29). This central midfielder can cover a lot of space in the middle of the field and with his pace, agility and an eye for goal he willingly can find net himself or conjure goal opportunity for his forwards.
Soren Wittingem (28). In recent tournaments Morten Troghil either take a the two defensive midfielders in the lineup or none of them. Wittingem is one of the pair, strong player who can run incessantly whole 90 minutes, distributes ball well due to his great passing ability and perfect knowledge of game, and also shows considerable tenacity and real class at his duties as defensive midfielder, as it was extremely difficult to go past him. But right now he don’t make to the height of work recently retired Hendrick Groningen.
Torben Scantorp (26). This defensive midfielder ball-winning talents are remarkable. He has a talent of reading game (and some also joking, that also reading thoughts), and is untiring worker, also capable to bring ball forward fast and precise. Head coach give him time at the field and this player is don’t make obvious blunders.
Torben Pangborn (28) Skilful central left midfielder, whose great speed allows him to outpace opponents and break through rival defences. His talents allow him to make a lot of scoring chances for the team, and due to his speed he is very useful in the counter-attacks.
Karsten Gould (28). This versatile midfielder can play as a left midfielder or forward if needed. But his passing much better than shooting skills, so he prefer not to make long shots, instead move into the box very fast and try to make dangerous continuations. He prove himself well in the international club tournaments last season and his chances for a place in the lineup improved as a result of recent changes in the squad.
Bjorn Strangnes (26). Constantly moving in order to confuse defenders, this left winger have powerful shot and great sense of game, which give him abilities to make dangerous long shots and crosses – alas, he don’t succeed too much in them when playing in the national team.

FORWARDS

Torben Kranforde (28). Very fast forward, who have special ability to surprise rival defenders. He also posessed a great skill of positioning himself very well, and regularly sent many defenders and goalkeepers into despair with his precise and deadly shots from both feet. He scored many goals for national team, but nevertheless this didn’t help team to win any silverware, and his popularity not rises to the level of his great predecessors.
Morten Kroonquist (29). This fast forward known for intensity of his game, and he is capable to maintain workrate in all 90 minutes. With enviable quickeness he moved very fast, turns very well, constantly pressurized rival defenders, with or without balls, and always trying winning back posession.
Kendall Kerl (27). This power forward proved himself very effective (if judged by recent international club tournaments) in front of goals. Physically strong, so he don’t have need to shies away from collusions, but usually he prefer to concentrate on his prime functions, and he also blessed by great technoque, so scores a lot of goals from just one touch.
Skovdal Kroldrup (26). Quick, direct striker, capable to finding gaps in the rival defence. Technically good, he can shield ball well, but prefer one-touch moves.
Gerard Reuzer (27). This tall and sturdy forward being called up to the national team first time, and many look at him with hope. With addition to the good dribbling skills he controls ball well and can shot from either feet or holding ball up until his teammated arrived. He also can contribute to the team efforts by his good headers and do this not once in the recent games.

TEAM TACTICS AND GAME STYLE

With Morten Troghil at the helm team always practiced attractive attacking game on a fast pace. Usually he use 4-4-2 or 3-5-2 depending on what opponents have on hands. Team always try to use pressing when ball is not on our side. Recently things begins looked like if opposition teams find antidote to this, and it will be seen, if Morten Troghil find a way to improve this component with his team onto the next skill level.

Unsportsmanlike behavior in Trolleborg is highly discouraged, even – and especially – if in the interests of the cause. National team players are required to meet the highest standards possible, so it is completely impossible to imagine a player of the Trolleborg national team faking injury or begging for a penalty. It is expected that players who have a choice between faked fall and appeal for penalty and try to continue game choice latter without any doubts. Compromises impossible.

World Cup 94 Squad

STYLE MODIFIER: -5

SYLESTONE NATIONAL FOOTBALL TEAM

World Cup 94 Qualifiers

Located in the far east of Esportiva, Sylestone is an equatorial nation home to roughly 30 million residents and while the vast, vast majority are humans, Sentients and even a small cluster of elves live on specific areas of the island, which has a size of roughly 700,000 kilometres squared. For the very first time in the nation’s history, though, Mytanar football manager Mojmir Anac’s squad to the 34th Campionato Esportiva and following World Cup Qualifiers - marking the return of international football for Sylestone in over half a decade - was composed of both Sentients as well as humans. In ages past, managers would prefer to not mix the two races out of fear for how that would go and with the Sentient sides almost always receiving the opportunity to play in tournaments while the humans sat in front of their televisions and watched, the vast majority of the Sylestonean population began to become distressed about this obvious favouritism. In fact, aside from the one Campionato Esportiva in the Licentian Isles that saw the human side capitulate to one point from three matches, they never actually received a proper go.

But upon the heralded return of Sylestone to football and football to Sylestone, the appointment of Mojmir Anac changed all of that. Although a match between a mixed XI against Quebec and Shingoryeo had occurred the year before as part of a friendly series containing some of the multiverse’s biggest names, last year’s 34th Campionato Esportiva marked the very first time the two races shared the same half of a football field in an official game, or larger tournament. Although a mini-cup between the Sentients, Evermark, Tikariot and Quebec and Shingoryeo in Chamberley that saw the hosts’ only points come in a 2-2 draw with Evermark, results ever since have been the exact opposite of disappointing, and culminated in Anac being nominated as one of five nominees for International Manager of the Year in a recent Testiculos.

In South Newlandia for the 34th Campionato Esportiva, Sylestone’s only two losses came against Esportivan giants Tumbra, including one in extra time after holding on for a mammoth 11 minutes to take the game to the brink of penalties. Aside from that, the Sentients made history with an 8-2 triumph over Macbon to secure qualification to the round of 16 for the first time in the nation’s history - three prior ventures into Esportiva’s premier football competition all ended in the group stage. But the Sylestone train didn’t stop there. Under Anac’s careful, precise management and coaching, they broke down Brenecia in penalty kicks, continuing the nation’s record of never having lost from the spot before they succumbed in the quarterfinal.

A successful Campionato Esportiva campaign, sure. But the World Cup Qualifiers - they were the real beast. Coming in as the only unranked nation in the group, a top half finish would be considered a huge success for Anac’s side, even having tested Tumbra and beaten Brenecia mere weeks before taking on eventual qualifiers Jeruselem in Betham. Anac, though, was not about to accept that. Throughout the course of the gruelling 22-matchday campaign, the Sentients conceded a grand total of nine goals, with only Audioslavia’s defence proving less penetrable. From a team that had never played before a year ago, to boast what could seriously be considered the second best defence in the multiverse was an achievement that frankly, no one saw coming. Over 180 minutes of football, eventual octofinalists and tenth-ranked Kandorith were unable to score, while Jeruselem were defeated at their home ground as one of only three losses throughout their entire campaign. Only Eura were able to find a way through courtesy of the sheer quality of star striker Sophie Singh, recording two wins over the Sentients… and yet, could not manage better than a fifth place as they failed to maintain momentum.

And that’s what truly made Mojmir Anac a household name, as well as those of some of Sylestone’s star players, such as the Brick Wall, Hugo Mornington, Gemma Rodway, Eden Holt and Raphael Brown. With 44 points from 22 games, it was enough to finish ahead of the likes of New Gelderland, Eura and even Tjorl - a side of whom the Sentients defeated 4-0 at home on the final matchday to secure a top three finish behind Jeruselem and Kandorith, earning them a spot in the World Cup Qualifying playoffs for the first time in Sylestonean history.

Unfortunately, though, it was not meant to be. Up against a Huayramarcan side famous for their ultra-aggressive style of play, the Sentients crumbled, conceding eight goals over 180 minutes of football, made even worse by Hugo Mornington seeing red just eight minutes into the first fixture of the two. After a year of trying, was the key to breaching Sylestone’s famous back four as simple as all out attack?

During last year’s Campionato Esportiva on home soil, many thought teams would test that theory. In fact, over the course of nine games, only two did - Hannasea in the group stage and Natanians and Nosts in the third place playoff, with nothing on the line. The first of those matches resulted in an instant classic - a 3-3 draw with Hannasea - while the second drew the Sentinets’ downfall in extra time as they finished off a successful campaign with a pair of losses to Tumbra and the Natanians. Outside of those two matches and a heartbreaking 1-0 semifinal loss to the defending champions, though, the campaign was a massive success, highlighted by a 3-0 victory over Lozho and a quarterfinal triumph against South Newlandia in Halpenley - their biggest scalp of the tournament. However, if the Sentients wish to improve on last year, the stakes are very high, as it’s literally make the World Cup or bust. From 107th in the rankings, Mojmir Anac and his squad will once again need to work their arses off to even come close but from everything we’ve seen within both the Sylestonean domestic and international football scenes recently, it’s still certainly a possibility.

Nickname: The Sentients
Formation: 4-4-1-1 → 4-2-3-1 or 5-4-1

MANAGER

Mojmir Anac (M, 38)
He’s a cult hero in Sylestone, and he fully deserves every skerrick of praise he has received. Not even a year into coaching, to have already been nominated as a candidate for the International Manager of the Year is truly spectacular, and in reality, he’s only just getting started. A former centre back with Olympia Thessia, Anac has already built a reputation for coaching defensive-minded football, with a strong preference for letting opponents dominate and then attacking them on the counter, giving up possession but certainly not giving up goals. Originally, Anac was employed by the Sylestonean Football Association (SFA) to attempt to unify the two races but with the nation’s human footballers beginning to outshine their counterparts from the Sentient city of Kirkham, that’s becoming less and less of a problem each and every day. Anac will push his players to their limits and demand lots of them but at the end of the day, he used to be a player as well, and knows just how hard that can be day in, day out.

One international cap to his name and Ryan Macleay’s already Sylestone’s first choice on the back of yet another marvellous season for the Pesfield Trees as they reached the Challengers’ Cup round of 16, easily the furthest a Sylestonean team has ever made it in IFCF competition. Although Georgina Fuller and the Brick Wall have been excellent for their country ever since the return of Sylestonean football, middling performances for their clubs has seen them drop down in the pecking order to the rising star, who probably the most reliable of the lot between the pegs, rarely making the disastrous mistakes Georgina Fuller sometimes succumbs herself to, with mobility that the Brick Wall isn’t built for. As for distribution, that’s Callum Holmes’ specialty after coming through the ranks with his brother Cayden at Capitol Athletic but at the rate Macleay is improving, it should be of little doubt that he’ll get to that level someday.

Ah, the famous Sylestonean back line. Another year on, and it’s still not looking much different, with the majority of key players still in their twenties - in fact, only squad players Thomas Davis and Sophia Pearson are over that thirty mark out of this group. That could technically be three if Raphael Brown is considered a defender after Mojmir Anac hinted at some adjustments in his role in the team - after all, the 34-year-old has spent the last decade or so playing as a centre back with Belgrave in the Zenith or Nepharan First Division and is very much well-versed in that position. Whether he is good enough to get in over the likes of Hugo Mornington and Alana Faucett at the back is a question yet to be answered, though, and only regular starts in the position will give Anac and everyone else a good idea of where his strength lies. With Brown possibly playing the role of a centre back, that makes four players - him, Faucett, the Hand Sanitiser and Alexander Nutt - that could all realistically start alongside skipper Hugo Mornington in the country’s best eleven, even if the left- and right-back positions are more locked in. On the left, Eden Holt is still Sylestone’s number one and at this point, it’s not exactly close, even with Isabella Cross shining for Avondale City as the club recorded their inaugural domestic league title last month and Thomas Davis ever reliable over in Chromatika, with both players a more defensive left back option than the Pesfield Trees defender, who prefers to make runs up the wing and often even switches position with Cayden Holmes on the left wing. On the right, the likes of upcoming Dunkirk Athletic defender Holly Statton is much like Holt, as is Straton’s Lesley Keller, while the Toilet is a more defensive option, providing the Sentients with a necessary versatility in their wingbacks depending on the game situation.

Like with the Sylestonean defensive line, there should be no doubt that there are some massive names within this group of players, players that do have it in them to qualify for the World Cup. In what may be his last chance at making the stage, Raphael Brown certainly deserves to make the final 32 at least once after his efforts with Capitol Athletic and Belgrave over his illustrious career. As the oldest of the group, he has made it his job to tutor the younger midfielders coming through and has built a solid relationship with Jack Lawson, a player who is expected to replace Brown in the country’s best XI when he eventually retires from international football as a fellow defensive midfielder. On the attacking side, the likes of Gemma Rodway prefers to push forward a little more even if she is just as versatile as some of her counterparts, playing as an attacking midfielder at the club level with Newark Argyle while club teammate Rose Fleetwood generally occupies that position for the Sentients. On the wings, the left- and right-midfielders will be expected to make runs forward to assist the attack, creating a 4-2-3-1 whilst on the offensive, before dropping back to join the central midfielders and defensive line when defending. On the left, Avanaroch’s Cayden Holmes is still the number one for that position although as he ages, he has found himself with stiff competition in the form of Jack Ryland, with the 22-year-old performing well enough with Colbrook City to go from a reserve player for Chamberley City to pushing for a national start within the span of less than two years. 28-year-old Bianca Barkman has faced a similar experience recently after failing to succeed at Capitol Athletic and Chamberley City in spite of her obvious potential, but playing in the multiverse’s best league with Crossroads snapped her into gear and as a result, is completely deserving of her first international call-up. On the right, another Red League player, Abigail Jones, is undoubtedly Sylestone’s best on the right wing as she is joined by the ever-reliable Fridge and James Barclay who after a breakout season that nearly saw Marbury FC steal international football in their first ever top flight season was snapped up by Montreal City for over two million NSD. With players such as Jones, Rodway and Callum Blair in their primes and Barclay, Ryland and Lawson all coming through the ranks, both the present and the future of the Sylestonean midfield appears promising.

Simply put, the depth Sylestone boast in this position is simply remarkable, particularly for a country with such a defensive-minded history and style of play. Between these three and even midfielder Gemma Rodway, there is no room for the likes of Harry Love in the squad, which is rather unbelievable considering how much he was hyped up as a youth player. Over the past couple of years, it has been Rose Fleetwood and Cameron Keyes who have led the way in the position, with Anac typically starting the Newark Argyle player over the IFCF Challengers’ Cup champion and then switching the two in the final twenty minutes for a late burst. Then, 18-year-old Brett Sarcav-Jones entered the scene and despite being yet to debut, already appears a possibility to start after a wondrous season at Avondale City that saw him seal a move to St John’s Arsenal for a record-equally six million NSD. Still, at this point, it is unlikely that Anac will start the teenager much as he’s only really had one season playing full time first team football and despite his talent, he may still be too young to grasp the mental side of the game. Either way, he’s still almost certain to debut during the Qualifiers and it will certainly be engaging to judge how he goes with experience all around him.

CF: Charlotte Eastwood		22		F		0		0		Avondale City

And finally, there’s one of the more unheralded positions in Sylestonean football - the striker. Currently in superb form, Chardonnay Rangers’ Riley Strathfield is almost certainly the country’s top forward, transferring the skills he gained in another defensive-minded outfit in the form of AFC Droves under Tahlia Dawson’s tutelage to the international scene, with eight goals in under twenty games currently to his name. However, the Betham boy will face some heated competition from Hayden Blamey after his wonder season that saw him break all sorts of records, scoring 23 goals for Chamberley City as they choked their first-ever league title, albeit at no fault of his own. Even Charlotte Eastwood will be looking to make a name for herself over the course of Qualifying on the back of a sublime season at Avondale City although like Sarcav-Jones, her lack of experience as a starter will mean that Blamey and Strathfield are likely going to take most of the load during the next year or so. But with all three still yet to reach their prime, Eastwood will not be backing down anytime soon for in the coming years, it will be every man for themselves as they fight over one starting spot.

Goalkeepers:

GK - Ryan Macleay:
In the aftermath of three sublime seasons as the Pesfield Trees’ starting keeper, Ryan Macleay has skipped right to the front of the Sylestonean queue, even with just a single cap to his name coming in a loss to Natanians and Nosts in the Campionato Esportiva third place playoff. A regular of League Number One goalkeeping highlight reels, Macleay’s gradually developed a solid all-round game for himself, although his distribution could do with just a little more work - something that coaches are actively working on. Has the skills to become a great in the years to come but for now, he’s more than happy to just hold up his part with the Pesfield Trees while receiving as many international chances as possible now Anac is expected to use him as his first choice.

GK - Georgina Fuller:
Just a year after deservedly usurping the Brick Wall to become Sylestone’s starting goalkeeper, a below average season with Alcassar 1896 FC has seen her form plummet as the Tikariotian outfit found themselves relegated, forcing a moving to Vantanoch to avoid slipping further down the ranks. A couple of solid seasons in a row has seen her eliminate many of her issues with inconsistency, although she’s still probably not quite as reliable as the Brick Wall or Ryan Macleay, even though the first does have an obvious physical advantage in that regard. If Macleay doesn’t make the best of his chances, Fuller will undoubtedly be knocking on the door as she looks to revive her domestic career over the course of the upcoming season to further consolidate her presence.

GK - Brick Wall:
With well over 500 professional caps with the Sylestonean national team and Kirkham Appliances, the Brick Wall is easily the most experienced goalkeeper in the squad - something that generally comes with being a Sentient due to their very slow ageing. As you may expect, the Brick Wall is incredibly consistent, but lacks the ability to take goal kicks and unfortunately, does not take up the entire goal at three metres (length) by two metres (height). Additionally, the Brick Wall is not the most agile but with its size, is still easily good enough to come out of goal when needed and cover most of it even when a rebound is poor. When scoring against it, you often require a little luck as well as skill.

GK - Callum Holmes:
Ever since that glorious season at Capitol Athletic a couple of years ago that culminated into a transfer to the Squornshelan Remnant States, Holmes has always been hereabouts on the Sylestonean goalkeeping pecking order, even though he’s continually put in the shift at Sivolvia Capitalizt before he was transferred to Vogsphere United just a couple of weeks ago. He’ll get his chances during Qualifiers to try to move further up towards Anac’s number one, although with Macleay, Fuller and the Brick Wall pretty locked in, he’s going to have to do some pretty insane stuff. As a former midfielder before he was switched into goals, Holmes’ remarkable ball skills means that he’s not afraid to even join part of the defence at times, with his distribution and eye for passes particularly strong. Although he doesn’t do much of this under Anac, Holmes is not afraid to go up at the end of games and attack when necessary, with a goal to his name at Capitol Athletic in a friendly against Avondale Beach as a result of this.

Defenders:

LB - Eden Holt:
With pace like a cheetah and determination like a gazelle on the run, there’s little wonder why Eden Holt is considered to be Sylestone’s best left back. Even though the competition for the spot is strong - after all, the Ironing Board, Thomas Davis and Isabella Cross are all very good in that position, while Cayden Holmes and Hugo Mornington also have experience on the club level - Holt’s recent form for the Pesfield Trees means that at the moment, she’s pretty much a shoo-in as a starter. Due to the demanding nature of her role, Holt will often be substituted towards the back end of a game when she exhausts herself but until that point, she never gives up and despite being faced with the occasional injury, at this point in her career, it’s only paid off.

LB - Isabella Cross:
She’s been in the conversation for a while now, but it has only been recently that Isabella Cross has shown her ability to compensate for her lean figure in the Avondale City defensive line, something that often resulted in being forced over by opposition wingers. With the ball at her feet, she's agile, fast and technically brilliant but as soon as she’s tasked with defending, despite her excellent positioning and sheer determination, her lack of physicality simply meant that she could not cope with the best of the trade. However, ever since she’s put on more muscle and developed her tackling game, that’s changed completely - sure, Cross might not be the largest defender out there, but she’s certainly no pushover.

LB - Thomas Davis:
Having first been selected for the 30th Campionato Esportiva when humans were finally unleashed to the multiverse before going out with a whimper, Thomas Davis has developed into a well-rounded footballer who has recently had his talent and experience noticed by Red League outfit Flames of the West in what is currently the best league in the world. As more of a defensive left back rather than one who often pushes up and creates chances with regularity, many would assume that he would fit Anac’s system more comprehensively but with Holt and Isabella Cross being two of the more adaptable players and in-form players out there, Davis is likely to only receive a few chances, particularly being on the wrong side of thirty.

CB - Hugo Mornington:
He may not be built like a typical centre back with a rather wiry frame, but standing at 195cm tall, his height certainly gives him an advantage over many opposition forwards. For someone who oftejn plays left back at club level - both Z’ai’ai and Hesham have used him as such - Mornington’s ability to adapt to the role Anac wants him to play is simply outstanding and as a result, has been rewarded with the captaincy after a few good years. As a centre back in a side used to playing extremely defensively, Mornington’s role is a big one but with sky-high confidence in his abilities, he believes that he can do anything and if needed, single-handedly save the game. That oozing of confidence certainly makes up for his build and despite looking rather uncoordinated at times, can be incredibly tough to shoulder over. For Sylestone to make that extra leap and qualify for the World Cup, Mornington will have to be at his very best.

CB - Alana Faucett:
After being a surprising selection for the last World Cup Qualifiers, Alana Faucett has more than proven her capability as a centre back over the past couple of years, shining for Zenit Attawapiskat and making the most of her chances in the Sylestonean blue. Now, her spot is more than locked in - in fact, the only thing that remains to be seen is whether Faucett will start alongside Hugo Mornington in the big games, going from very much a fringe player to a starter in under two years, climbing up four or five spots in the pecking order. She complements Mornington well, as a right-footed centre back and similar to her captain, has a very calm head in tough situations. At times, she’s a bit hesitant to tackle but with Mornington there, he’ll more than cover that aspect if necessary.

CB - Hand Sanitiser:
There’s nothing scarier for a forward than breaking through a midfield to find a human-sized bottle of Hand Sanitiser staring you down, its bulky body seemingly ready to push you over with just the slightest thrust. Aside from that, though, the Hand Sanitiser’s centre back partnership with Hugo Mornington is nothing short of outstanding, the two often found together analysing their play in past games and discovering new ways to improve that cohesion, even with Alana Faucett threatening to tear that apart. The Hand Sanitiser generally prefers to operate on the right side of the back line and while it isn’t so good at clearing and isn’t the most agile of players, has such physicality that can block almost anyone in their tracks.

CB - Alexander Nutt:
Even though he’s played at the Pesfield Trees and Tihon, the former one of the biggest clubs in Sylestone and the latter one of the best in the entire multiverse, Alexander Nutt’s rise through the Sylestonean centre back rankings has been relatively quiet, with the sheer competition for the spot meaning that he only playing on a rotational basis, behind the likes of Hugo Mornington, Alana Faucett and the Hand Sanitiser. Tall like Mornington, Nutt’s a strong, physical defender but lacks a bit of experience and game reading skills, so is caught off guard every now and then. Will throw everything at the game though, and no one will complain that he hasn’t given it absolutely everything.

CB - Sophia Pearson:
Was longlisted as a Testiculos nominee back in her prime but as she has aged, Pearson has gradually fallen down the ranks and now, is fighting her utmost just to receive a spot in this Sylestone squad. If Sylestone employed a back three or five, Pearson likely would have a significantly higher number of caps but alas for her, that is not the way Anac sets up. A spirited fighter with a heart of steel who possesses an overarching sense of calm, Pearson’s experience will be vital for the likes of Alana Faucett and Alexander Nutt coming through the ranks as she will look to guide them through their youthful years, for the two are expected to become key figures in the Sylestonean defence in the years to come. For Pearson herself, her physicality will come to her aid throughout Qualifying, with a clearance that regularly finds the feet of a striker to launch a counterattack.

RB - Lesley Keller:
Over the course of the last couple of years, Lesley Keller’s work ethic, coupled with a transfer from Avondale Beach to Straton, has seen her race up the Sylestonean right back pecking order to be Anac’s preferred option, even with her aggressive nature. Recently, the Toilet has appeared decidedly average for both club and country and despite being a more defensive option, Keller’s form, skill and temperament has been enough to see her receive the bulk of the starts over the recent Campionato Esportiva. Has even played a couple of games on the right wing for her country before but with Eden Holt on her left looking to make runs up the wing, Keller will often have to make a back three in order to support the centre backs, preventing the counter. Either way, playing in this system will be a great skill and personality for her, and no one really knows how it’s going to go.

RB - Toilet:
After a couple of average seasons, the Toilet will be looking to make the most of its opportunities in these Qualifiers to regain that number one right back spot - it really is a statement that a player less suitable for Anac’s system currently holds it over the Sentient. Physically, the Toilet’s only real weakness is with aerial balls and is more than capable of talking shit and playing dirty when necessary, drawing bookings and sometimes even suspensions for the team. A versatile defender, the Toilet is more than capable of playing in the centre or even on the left if necessary, something which Anac is happy to exploit if the need is there.

RB - Holly Statton:
Almost unarguably the bolter everyone’s fixated on this cycle, a couple of outstanding seasons with Dunkirk Athletic has seen Holly Statton jump the likes of the Dishwasher and numerous others into the Sylestonean squad, looking right at home in the ever-improving League Number One and constantly shutting down those attacking down the left wing. Has a bit of an aggressive streak and isn’t afraid to make runs up the right, but is more than capable of holding her own at the back, with good pace while being unafraid to get physical and tackle those coming at her. At only twenty years old, Statton is unlikely to receive too much game time with Lesley Keller and the Toilet likely to take most shifts, while she may receive starts against weaker teams or come off the bench when necessary, particularly in the opening few games.

Midfielders:

LM - Cayden Holmes:
One of the most versatile players in this squad, Holmes has excelled at both left back and in the midfield in the past, currently holding down the former spot with Avanaroch White Wings in the Tikariot Premier League. He received the Toilet League player of the season award when only 23 and since then, has only improved on his game with stints in Pyazhnaya and now Tikariot. Last year’s Campionato Esportiva saw Holmes often take over the left back role whilst Eden Holt pushed forward on her sprints up the wing, an effective strategy that resulted in numerous excellent chances and even a couple of goals. One of the most reliable players in the squad, Holmes will always put in a strong performance and while he hasn’t quite lived up to the heights some expected him to reach when he was crowned the best player in what was then the Toilet League at just 23 years of age, he’s still an asset to this Sylestonean team.

LM - Jack Ryland:
One of Sylestone’s best youngsters, Jack Ryland’s always been a more aggressive winger, particularly in his youth at Chamberley City before he was snapped up by Colbrook City a little over a year ago. In spite of his rather extravagant ball skills that have seen him score multiple goals by cutting in from the left and splitting the defence in two, Ryland’s crossing and final third passing can do with some work, while Anac has been attempting to teach him to drop back and assist the defence a bit more due to the defensive style of the Sylestonean national team. Once he’s able to reliably achieve that, it is expected that Ryland may usurp the ageing Holmes for the start midfield role on the left flank but before then, Holmes and Amelia Stanton are likely to receive the bulk of the opportunities.

LM - Amelia Stanton:
Even though she’s had a year playing as a CDM at Betham FC in the past to add to her versatility, recent success at Raven Raver back on the left has all but proven where her strength lies. While she prefers against calling herself an out-and-out winger, Stanton does like to press forward to assist with the attack, with the necessary pace to drop back and support the defence when necessary. Has the ability to create something out of nothing against the run of play, with the versatility to also be used as a central midfielder when necessary.

CM - Raphael Brown:
The former captain of the Sentients and the oldest human in the squad, Raphael Brown is one of the calmest heads in the side - something to expect of a defensive-minded midfielder or centre back whose role is to control the game. His passing and vision is exceptional and while he can get physical, especially when he drops into the back line and helps work the ball out and forward. His experience has been and will be key in this team, especially if he is tasked with playing as a centre back - his main position over the last decade or so with Belgrave.

CM - Gemma Rodway:
Ever since that breakout season three years back where Gemma Rodway was handed the Player of the Season award due to her dynamic presence as a Pesfield Trees attacking midfielder, the Emacuton-born superstar has been arguably branded by some to be Sylestone’s best footballer, taking her form with her to Newark Argyle in the Tumbran league. A flexible midfielder who can play in a traditional, defensive or aggressive role depending on what her manager and the game situation, there’s no wonder why Rodway has been such a critical part of every team she’s been part of, whether it be in the various divisions of Sylestonean football, StrayaRoos or Tumbra. Is more than capable of scoring goals, with a solid free kick on her as well and as Sylestone’s best creative midfielder at the moment, she will likely rack up a decent number of assists throughout the course of Qualifiers.

CM - Callum Blair:
Ever since that injury in South Newlandia in the 34th Campionato Esportiva that led to the rise of Gemma Rodway in the Sylestonean national team, Callum Blair has not been able to usurp either Raphael Brown or Gemma Rodway for a starting spot, although more often than not, the Tikariot-based midfielder is their first reserve. A proper workhorse, Blair never gives up and is always reliable in the midfield, often falling under the radar despite his passes almost always finding the designated player, no matter how tricky they are. Can take on a box-to-box role if necessary, too.

CM - Jack Lawson:
On the back of an honestly outstanding season with Avondale City where he controlled the midfield alongside fellow DM Pyo Seung-Hye, Jack Lawson’s probably rising through the ranks at a remarkable rate as he grows in experience, with his talents seemingly increasing by the day. Expected to many to take over Raphael Brown’s role in the side once with Belgrave talisman hangs up his boots, if not before then, particularly if he maintains and improves on his prior Sylestonean performances such as he has been able to in an Avondale City shirt. Can also play on the right wing when necessary as a defensive option to the likes of Abigail Jones, although with James Barclay and the Fridge in the squad, seems unlikely to receive an opportunity in that position. Also has a mean free kick on him, and is a regular for set pieces for his club.

CM - Bar Stool:
Another more aggressive midfielder, the Bar Stool can almost be a like-for-like substitution for Gemma Rodway, but can also - rather unwillingly - drop back into the defence to create a back five or six when a slender lead is intact. With 32 goals, it sits third in the list of all-time goalscorers for the Sentients - behind the Tumble Dryer and Mixer, as you would expect. Coming off multiple dominant seasons with the Kirkham Sentients, the Bar Stool should prove reliable for Anac and also has a few dirty tactics up its sleeves, notably when it jumps on top of a fellow Sentient to slot home its own sort of “header”.

CM - Max Paterson:
After finally receiving his first international cup during World Cup 93 Qualifiers, Max Paterson looks likely to receive his opportunities again here in spite of his age, showing the extent of Mojmir Anac’s trust in him as a player and defensive-minded midfielder. Handy with set pieces, Paterson prefers to play on the left due to his dominant foot, but is more than capable of playing anywhere in the central midfield. With time running out, expect him to put in his utmost to maximise his international opportunities before Anac looks to the emerging generation.

CM - Bianca Barkman:
While she may be 28 years of age, it was impossible for Anac to look past Bianca Barkman after a splendid season at Crossroads in the Red League, finally living up to her potential after failed stints at Capitol Athletic and Chamberley City before moving abroad. Interestingly, it seems as though Barkman plays many times better against stronger teams, almost as if she has something to prove, with an aggressive mindset that often sees her intercept balls out of sheer will and every now and then and run herself ragged - a true box-to-box midfielder. Will be handy as a substitute against the bigger teams.

RM - Abigail Jones:
One of the pioneers of humans receiving the opportunity to play international football, Abigail Jones has got to be one of the most talented players in this squad, have obtained residency in Chromatika after stints with Frenei Tor and Pria City when she left Cleorough. An out-and-out winger with an aggressive mindset, Jones likes to push up when the need rises, assisting with the attack with her crossing and cuts into the box. With strong ball skills, many teams crave a player on the right such as her - it’s only ironic that she’s not the perfect fit under the defensive Sylestonean system, although her skills at the back are more than enough to ensure that she holds down this spot with ease. For now.

RM - Fridge:
Who else other than the former captain of the Sentients? Although it’s used as a central midfielder by the Garbage Bin at Fridge FC, the Fridge is surprisingly fast considering it’s literally a refrigerator with legs and as a result, is well-suited for this role. Despite that and its inherently excellent stamina, the Fridge lacks agility and as a result, is likely to be substituted if the desire to press forward is there, particularly with Abigail Jones and James Barclay capable of making those runs. Is known for getting someone or something to kick the ball inside its compartment and run forward with it, dodging defenders and until it reaches the goal or someone opens it up, as if it’s a game of rugby.

RM - James Barclay:
One of the squad’s bolters, James Barclay’s superb season at Marbury as the club playing their first season in Sylestone’s top flight came that close to scraping a CEdC berth in their first season, with Barclay’s ability to drop back and help out their masterful defence likely part of the reason why he has been picked over Cleorough duo Abigail McNair or Kate Fullers, or perhaps even young Pesfield Trees winger Jeremy Onus and Avondale Beach’s Alice Murtagh. On top of his pace and defensive skills, Barclay directly contributed in a significant portion of Marbury’s sixteen goals last season, with multiple key passes, assists and even a couple of goals to go alongside them, including a couple direct from free kicks - after all, he is probably the country’s best at taking set pieces. At just 22 years of age, expect him to receive more and more international game time over the next few years, for it’s likely that the Fridge and Abigail Jones will take the bulk of the duties.

Attacking Midfielders:

CAM - Rose Fleetwood:
Having previously played the majority of her career as a centre forward or on the right wing, Fleetwood’s adaptation to the support striker, or “10” role has been remarkable. Although she was given a few options up front over the course of the past few years under Mojmir Anac, the way she has played as a playmaker was truly exceptional, even if that’s not her position at the club level. Having been recognised as a talent at an early age, she rose through the ranks at Betham FC in her hometown before making the transfer to Nephara’s Raven River, where she played a role in helping them back into the Zenith before being released and transferring to Tumbra - and she did not need asking twice, with long-time partner and fellow attacking midfielder/forward Cameron Keyes having spent the majority of his professional career at Tumbra’s Lakewood United. With a strong skill set consisting of exceptional ball control and vision, Fleetwood’s still performing close to her best as she enters the wrong side of thirty.

CAM - Brett Sarcav-Jones:
Talk about rising through the ranks. Two years ago, he wasn’t even in the Di Bradini Cup squad and all of a sudden, he’s risen past that stage to find himself selected in last year’s Campionato Esportiva, with his debut expected to come in the opening few fixtures of World Cup Qualifying, if not before, in friendlies against Tikariot and Quebec. Although Anac hasn’t confirmed anything yet, his performances for Avondale City that led them to their first League Number One title in history and him to the young player of the season award may have propelled him above Cameron Keyes in the pecking order, although whether the 18-year-old will be trusted with a starting berth to test his mettle remains to be seen. Despite his scrawny and wiry frame, Sarcav-Jones is very tough to push off the ball, with adept skills, and can obtain a lot of power in his shots from a relatively small backlift. Expect big things from him - his new club, St John’s Arsenal, certainly are after paying Avondale City six million NSD for him a few weeks ago.

CAM - Cameron Keyes:
Although he began his career as a regular starter with both Betham FC and then Lakewood United, the rise of Tumbran football through both domestic and international rankings has seen Keyes slip into the role of an impact substitute for his club. However, that has not deterred Anac from selecting him in the past, often giving him half an hour off the bench to make an impact on the match, and even starting a few times. A fast player on and off the ball, Keyes is willing to make space for his teammates to provide passing opportunities and is generally very good at providing the assist to goals. Sure, he can score them himself and that’s no problem, but with the sort of vision he has, it’s a waste not to use it.

Forwards:

CF - Riley Strathfield:
Riley Strathfield’s experience playing in Tahlia Dawson’s defensive-minded AFC Droves setup have almost ready-made the 26-year-old for the Sylestonean national team, becoming a rather deadly striker with eight goals from nineteen caps - excellent numbers considering Anac’s preferred style of play. In the past, Strathfield had a tendency to run offside and get a little too eager, but superb coaching on the international and club front has prevented many of those instances recently. At over 185 centimetres tall, Strathfield has a towering header that comes in handy for crosses and corners, and may just be the thing that separates him from his main rival for the spot, Hayden Blamey.

CF - Hayden Blamey:
Also at 26 years old, Hayden Blamey is certainly Riley Strathfield’s main rival for the starting striker spot, although despite previous animosity establishing itself between the two as players for AFC Droves and Chamberley City, the two can be named very good friends at this time. Coming off a wondrous, albeit bittersweet season where his club bottled the title to perennial bottlers Avondale City, Blamey recorded 23 goals - the most ever by anyone in a Sylestonean top flight season. Isn’t afraid to shoot from outside the box as well and in a one-on-one has got to be one of the calmest heads going around. However, there are some theories that indicate that Blamey struggles against the bigger boys out there, and this will be a good test for him.

CF - Charlotte Eastwood:
Another younger member of Avondale City’s title-winning squad, Charlotte Eastwood has eclipsed the likes of the Tumble Dryer for this coveted spot, having won the Silver Boot in the League Number One with thirteen goals, still ten behind Hayden Blamey. However, Eastwood’s strengths go beyond just scoring goals; she’s more than capable of taking all sorts of set pieces, and is quite reliable from the spot, too. Sometimes tends to hold the ball for slightly too long but aside from that, Eastwood is the full package - all she needs is some just a little experience at the highest level, and then she’ll be genuinely be challenging Riley Strathfield and Hayden Blamey for the sole forward spot under Mojmir Anac. Can also play as a CAM if needed but with Rose Fleetwood, Cameron Keyes, Brett Sarcav-Jones and Gemma Rodway all very strong there, it probably really isn’t necessary.

by **Adab** » Sat Jun 24, 2023 11:02 am

Note: In the Adabian timeline, the World Cup 94 qualifiers take place from October 2044-March 2045, World Cup 93 proper from June-July 2045. Age as of October 1, 2044. Goal tally not yet updated.

The Adabian National Football Team

Grave men, near death, who see with blinding sight
Blind eyes could blaze like meteors and be gay,
Rage, rage against the dying of the light.

And you, my father, there on the sad height,
Curse, bless, me now with your fierce tears, I pray.
Do not go gentle into that good night.
Rage, rage against the dying of the light.
-Dylan Thomas, “Do not go gentle into that good night”

Demonym: Adabian (plural Adabians)
Association: Adab Football Association (AFA)

BACKGROUND
Raging against the dying of the light is becoming an increasingly prominent element of the Adab national team's experience. Saad Kaykali is now entering his seventies having survived a bout with cancer. A large number of the players who won the IAC, qualified for the World Cup, and reached the last 16 of the Cup of Harmony is now in their thirties. New blood has started coming in - Kayla Kassaya, for example - but it is widely understood, if not explicitly spelled out, that this might be the last World Cup campaign for much of Adab's Golden Generation. In particular, time is running out for the great survivors: Enlilbani Yargab and Ephraim Orlev, the last remaining players from Kaykali's first stint as manager, now a quarter-century in the past. Although their retirement has constantly been delayed, they are not expected to play into their late forties.

KIT

The national team's kits, designed by Ahmad Enlil (the first President of the Football Association) in 1907, are currently manufactured by Shining Sun Company, owned by Rahman Ashurbanipal, businessman and grandson of Emperor Tizqar III.

STAFF
Manager: Saad KAYKALI - Male – born January 20, 1974 (age 70)
At the peak of his power and popularity following Adab’s recent success on the international stage, some around Saad Kaykali have nevertheless noticed that the manager appears tired and worn out at times, which is not very surprising considering everything that has happened around him. But the idea of retirement has not been floated, at least not publicly. Kaykali insists he is “more than ready and excited to help carry this team forward and achieve even greater success”.

Assistant manager: Rashid ABBAS - Male – born February 15, 1987 (age 57)
Formerly a star player in the island country of Faraby, now an associated state of Adab, Abbas now finally finds himself sole assistant manager to Saad Kaykali. He is determined to do his best in this capacity, all the while refusing to discuss rumors that he has greater aspirations. Currently also manager of the under-21 team.

General coach: Yitzhak BENNETT - Male – born September 20, 1976 (age 68)
Variously described as quiet, active, calm, and attentive, Bennett is very much respected by the players, who admire his work ethic, loyalty to the national team, and willingness to listen to them.

Goalkeeping coach: Faishal AR-RASHID - Male – born August 14, 1978 (age 66)
Regarded, much like Bennett, as a stabilizing influence in the national team and respected by staff and players alike.

Physio: Hamza RIDHA - Male – born January 15, 1983 (age 61)
A longtime friend of Kaykali. Widely respected by fellow staff and players for the understated way by which he performs his job.

PLAYERS
Note: I may reveal the starting lineup and substitutes for the next match(es) in my RPs. Should I not RP or should my RP not contain any information regarding the starting lineup and substitutes, then feel free to decide my lineup. Also feel free to make substitutions. (As a rule of thumb, the first 11 players listed here are the usual starters, but this is not always the case.)

GK: 1 – Satchit CHANDRASEKAR – Male – born February 7, 2015 (age 29) – Colonial Sile (Vilita) – 0 goals
Chandrasekar has now firmly established himself as Adab’s best keeper and, if everything goes right, looks set to retain that status for many years to come. His calm, steady demeanor serves him well as the last line of defense against the team’s opponents.

LB: 2 – Tansu ALTUN - Female – born February 25, 2009 (age 35) - Mosul - 0 goals
Fondly called the "heart of the squad" by her teammates. Kind, polite, smiling, beautiful inside and out, she gets along easily with all the staff and players. Yet her soft exterior hides a hard, relentless, unyielding side to her, which shines through every time she is called to perform on the pitch.

CB: 3 – Shania ENMERKAR - Female – born January 20, 2008 (age 36) - Baghdad City - 3 goals (Vice Captain)
Widely seen as one of the leaders of the “female wave” in Adabian football, observers nevertheless agree that Enmerkar has earned her place in the team by merit, rather than merely by virtue of her gender. The other female players in the squad look up to her as their leader and spokeswoman, and it is she who often goes to Kaykali to communicate the women’s concerns and opinions.

CB: 15 – Sarrugi AKSHAK – Male – born May 29, 2016 (age 28) – Lonngeylin Coast (Vilita) – 0 goals
Made headlines with his unexpected transfer to the Vilitan League, although he has more than proven himself as a capable defender at the Under-18 and Under-21 World Cups. Now Yousif Issou’s international retirement has guaranteed him a place in the starting lineup and he is more than determined to impress.

RB: 5 – Sally THOMAS – Female – born October 5, 2015 (age 28) – Beirut – 0 goals
An instrumental member of the Di Bradini Cup 51 squad, Thomas’ continued good performance with Beirut in the Premier League has earned her an upgrade from the benches to the starting lineup in the national team.

LM: 6 – Emma ARTHUR - Female – born November 18, 2012 (age 31) - Tihon (Chromatika) - 10 goals
A representative of the Anglo-Adabian community, the second-youngest member of the squad. Widely seen as a young prodigy before maturing into one of Adab’s best midfielders. Estranged from her family, traumatized and haunted by what had happened to her and Alulim Sinmuballit, she picked herself up and has impressed many with her performance with Tihon in Chromatika.

CM: 7 – Alulim SINMUBALLIT - Male – born September 15, 2013 (age 31) – Mipojoseon (Quebec and Shingoryeo) - 8 goals
The erstwhile baby prodigy of the squad is now older and much-changed from those halcyon days when he and Emma Arthur were lighting up the midfield and causing controversy with their interfaith relationship off the pitch. Since then… a lot have changed, to put it lightly, but one thing is certain: Sinmuballit is determined to prove he still has a place in the national team.

RM: 19 – Amara EMMITA – Female – born January 19, 2016 (age 28) – Baghdad United – 8 goals
Easily runs circles around her opponents with her slick, graceful style of play. With Ephraim Orlev now in his forties and on the verge of retirement, Emmita has found her way to the starting lineup, providing a fresh reinforcement in the midfield to accompany the likes of Emma Arthur and Alulim Sinmuballit.

LAM/LW: 22 – Kastiliasu AKAPTAHA – Male – born March 27, 2014 (age 30) – Baghdad City – 83 goals
Already widely acclaimed as one of the finest strikers in Adabian football, Akaptaha is expected to lead the offense for many years to come, standing at the forefront the regeneration of the national team as the venerable Enlilbani Yargab enters his forties.

RAM/RW: 10 – Rebekah YISSAKAR - Female – born January 20, 2013 (age 31) - Adab United – 75 goals
Brash, funny, happy-go-lucky, all those words have been used to describe Rebekah Yissakar, but do not let her bubbly, excitable personality distract you from the fact that she is one of Adabian football’s best talents, with a deadly finishing touch that secured her a place at the front three along with the great Enlilbani Yargab and the energetic Kastiliasu Akaptaha.

CF: 11 – Enlilbani YARGAB - Male – born April 21, 1999 (age 45) - Baghdad City – 162 goals (Captain)
Although Yargab remains a dangerous presence, many believe that he has clearly declined with age; the older striker played fewer minutes than in previous tournaments before being replaced by Nadje Barzani and the goalscoring burden was increasingly shouldered by Akaptaha, Yissakar, and Barzani. With Akaptaha now deployed on the wing, Kaykali is expected to increasingly rotate Yargab and Barzani or play Barzani for entire matches and rest the older stalwart; Yargab understands that the younger players such as Akaptaha and Barzani adapt more easily to the gegenpressing tactics. That Yargab is no longer the lone, deadly goalscoring threat that he used to be is obvious. On the other hand, he does seem to have found second wind as a playmaker and false nine (or rather, eleven), advancing the ball, creating chances, and providing assists with his vision while leaving the final touch to the younger players.

GK: 12 – Akurgal SHULGI – Male – born May 15, 2017 (age 27) – Damascus Steelers – 0 goals
Formidable young keeper whose adept, acrobatic defending dragged Adab to the final of the 14th Under-18 World Cup in Xanneria and Starcom.

LB: 13 – Adnan AL-TIKRITI – Male – born July 20, 2015 (age 29) – Damascus Steelers – 0 goals
Dogged defender who brought Adab to the final of the Di Bradini Cup 51. Flies under the radar publicity-wise but prefers to let his achievements on the pitch speak for themselves.

CB: 4 – George HADAD – Male – born February 14, 2005 (age 39) – Assur – 2 goals
Assur’s impressive performance in the Premier League lately has earned its loyal center-back a call-up to the national team, which just a few years ago no one – including the man himself – would have expected. But Hadad is nonetheless glad for this new experience so late into his career, even if he doesn’t see himself being played that much.

RB: 16 – Nadia AL-MALIKI – Female – born October 15, 2011 (age 33) – Baghdad United – 0 goals
Baghdad United’s surprisingly strong performance in the Premier League earned her a call-up to the national team. Al-Maliki’s composure in defense has been widely praised and regarded as an instrumental part in United’s unexpected domestic success.

LM: 17 – Said ANWAR – Male – born April 5, 2014 (age 30) – Beirut – 0 goals
A highlight of Beirut’s rise to the top of the Premier League, Said has now earned himself a call-up to the national team. While he is unlikely to displace Emma Arthur in the pecking order, his presence nevertheless provides a reliable backup should it become necessary for Arthur to be substituted or rotated.

CM: 18 – Naram-Sin SAMANU – Male – born March 29, 2018 (age 26) – Baghdad United – 3 goals
Commands a huge presence at midfield. Alulim Sinmuballit’s return has largely relegated Samanu once again to the benches, but with the staff afraid of overplaying the latter it seems that they will settle on a rotation between Sinmuballit and Samanu, allowing both players roughly equal time on the pitch.

CM: 26 - Kayla KASSAYA - Female - born April 14, 2016 (age 28) - Crossroads (Chromatika) - 0 goals
A late call-up to the national team, Kassaya has impressed with Crossroads in Chromatika's Red League, becoming an integral part of the side and more than justifying their faith in her. The national team's heavy workload has convinced Saad Kaykali and his staff that they need another midfielder and Kassaya is the obvious choice. While primarily a central midfielder, she is a versatile player who can also be deployed as a left and right midfielder, and even in a more advanced role as a winger in emergency situations.

RM: 8 – Ephraim ORLEV - Male – born April 18, 1999 (age 45) – Mosul – 9 goals
That Orlev’s supposed retirement has been constantly delayed is the subject of many a joke in Adab nowadays. But on his good days he is still one of the country’s best – and toughest, not to mention most experienced – midfielders, and his presence is highly valued in the locker room.

LAM/LW: 20 – Dasia KHOURY – Female – born September 15, 2017 (age 27) – Baghdad City – 1 goals
One of Adab’s breakout stars from the Di Bradini Cup 53, Khoury has settled into a starting role at Baghdad City, playing a key part as the great team tries to restore themselves back to the top of the Adabian football world. Her performance continues to impress, convincing Kaykali to call her up to the senior national team.

RAM/RW: 21 – Abdullah SARSUR – Male – born June 11, 2007 (age 37) – Yerushalayim – 0 goals
Yerushalayim’s rise to the upper echelons of the league has brought attention upon its right attacking midfielder/winger Abdullah Sarsur. Brave, unrelenting, and tricky at times, he will provide a reliable addition to the national team.

RAM/RW: 25 – Omar ABBAS – Male – born January 15, 2018 (age 26) – Mosul – 0 goals
Like Khoury he is one of Adab’s players from the Di Bradini Cup 53 that stood out the most, earning legions of fans with his speed and deadly accurate crosses, exuberant attitude on and off the pitch, and unstinting commitment to his profession.

LAM/LW: 9 – Hakim AL-AMIN - Male – born March 27, 2009 (age 35) - Damascus Steelers – 15 goals
With Jushur al-Kufa bowing out of the national team, his Damascus Steelers teammate Hakim al-Amin has been chosen to take his place – albeit it is usually a place on the benches. Al-Amin is one of Adabian football’s best strikers, gaining acclaim for his power, agility, finishing, and calmness under pressure. Everyone agrees he would have found a place in the starting lineup had it not been for the fact that the national team is already overfilled with younger talent at the front.

CF: 23 – Nadje BARZANI – Female – born March 14, 2017 (age 27) – Beirut – 44 goals
Barzani has made a name for herself as one of the Premier League’s best players and one of its most explosive forwards, alongside Kastiliasu Akaptaha, and is making an impact in the national team in a rotation with the seemingly ageless Enlilbani Yargab. But time waits for no one, and as Yargab rapidly approaches his forty-fifth birthday the indication seems to be that Barzani will soon have her spot to herself.

STADIUM

Adab City Stadium, the pride and joy of Adabian football, was completed in 1940. Located in the northern part of Adab City, the stadium was able to accommodate 40,000 people at the time of its opening. Renovations in 1978 made it an all-seater stadium and expanded its capacity to 55,350. Later it increased to 75,000 following upgrades in 2009-10 and then 76,500 after another upgrade in 2019. It is currently home to the Adabian national football team and Adab City FC.

TACTICS AND FORMATION
The team will use 4-3-2-1, the "Christmas tree" formation, with an emphasis on gegenpressing – immediately working to take back possession after losing the ball and launching a quick counterattack before the opponent can take the initiative. Any opposition players with the ball will find themselves swarmed and cut off quickly. The orientation towards gegenpressing has been offered as evidence of Rashid Abbas’ increasing influence as he seeks to modernize the team in his capacity as assistant manager.

Goalkeeper Satchit Chandrasekar is secure in his position as first-choice senior team keeper. Shania Enmerkar finds herself leading the defense, her limitless energy and tenacity – which she has demonstrated both on and off the pitch – making her particularly suited for this role.

At midfield, Emma Arthur finds herself paired up with Alulim Sinmuballit and Amara Emmita. Their agility and teamwork allow them increased coverage of the pitch and domination of possession, which they skillfully use to quickly transfer the ball away from the opposing team and to the attacking trio of Kastiliasu Akaptaha, Rebekah Yissakar, and the great Enlilbani Yargab. At age 45, the country’s greatest player now largely avoids ostentatious displays of acrobatics and dribbling skills which marked his younger days in favor of simple runs towards the penalty box. In a further concession to his advancing age, Akaptaha, Yissakar, and Nadje Barzani are also gradually bearing more and more of the goalscoring burden, and it is expected that Yargab will be substituted or even not played at all from time to time in favor of Barzani. Yargab (or Barzani whenever she plays) will occasionally drop back to serve as a false nine, leaving a hole in the opposition defense to be exploited by the wingers and attacking midfielders.

Tactics
Formation: 4-3-3
Style Mod: +2.5
In attack, Darmen will employ one of two tactics: the first involves the team playing down the flanks while the second is a possession oriented short-range passing style that closely resembles tiki-taka. The later tactic is normally only employed against weaker opponents or when Darmen has a multi-goal lead and involves connecting many passes together to slowly advance the ball towards the opponents 18-yard box. It is not uncommon for 30+ passes to be completed in the sequence, especially against weaker opponents.

Darmen's primary tactic however is a heavy emphasis on flank play, with the wide midfielders (also referred to as flankers in Darmen) being the linchpin of Darmen's attack. Upon gaining possession, Darmen will look to distribute the ball to one of the two wide midfielders as quickly as possible. After receiving the ball, the wide midfielders will look to advance the ball as far down the flanks as quickly as possible. Meanwhile, the forwards and the central midfielders will crash the box, hoping to be on the receiving end of the wide midfielder's cross. The wide midfielder (or sometimes even the fullback) on the opposite flank will linger behind waiting to collect the cross should it overshoot the box. While scoring via headers is the primary goal, a player may also look to score by volleying or half-volleying the ball if they're in open space. Should the first attempt at goal not be collected by the goalkeeper, Darmenis are more than willing to take advantage of the ensuing chaos in the box and poach a goal as well. If the wide midfielder's path forward down the flank is blocked, they are not averse to cutting inside and taking a shot on goal themselves.

Defensively, the defenders have one job... to defend. They rarely venture out of their own half, but if they do it will only be one of the fullbacks (see above). Darmen will employ zonal marking when facing the counter-attack and man marking in all other situations.

Team Roles
Captain: Parthalán Wolfe
Vice-Captain: Kennard Hale
Left Corner: Parthalán Wolfe
Right Corner: Kerr Park
Penalties: Kennard Hale
Free-kicks: Parthalán Wolfe

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

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

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

Vilita will often play in a traditionally Vilitan 3-1-4-2 formation with a style modifier of +3.14. Against weaker opposition they may instead play a 3-4-3.

The coaches will select the squad from the National Player pool. Players are listed below, grouped by position and sorted by projection 'Depth Chart' position where the top player listed is most likely to be named the first player selected for that position, and so on. Depth chart positions are determined by performance in pre-cup training sessions, as well as performance and average ratings in the Vilitan League competition and previous appearances for the National Team. If you RP First you may use the following lineup as a base for your RP. You may switch players out from the lineup to fit scoring line / preferred players.

Lineup: Zelkki Milake Jr., Injyua Klizlo, Narri Sebapilo (Riku Kasslin), Rojara Tiones, Letirpsi Vulitn, Fyin Miateal (Sami Samii’i), Trezisi Rokopolis, Jakku’u Naboyavi, Nii'arala Milaaso (Tukaara Milanzi), Treasvo Tlikara, Kunaro Tlikara

If Vilita RP's first, the lineup is unlikely to directly resemble the above and will be selected from the pool below:

HEAD COACH:

Endur Rotropii [ - Vilita National Team Staff - ]
Head Coach ( AGE: 53 :: [ NT CAPS: 82 :: NT GOALS: 12 ] :: [ V&T CAPS: 0 :: V&T GOALS: 0 ] )
TROPHIES :: [ : World Cup 68 : ][ : AOCAF 42 : ][ : Olympic Gold Medal : ]
Rotropii made his debut for Marine Coast United during Season 38 and quickly grew popular with the fans in Crosaibi, being named Marine Coast's player of the season in his rookie campaign. Rotropii scored his first career international goal during World Cup 65 Qualifying in a 4-1 victory over Mashiki. Rotropii was still active for selection to the Vilita National Team during World Cup 77 but was not a member of the World Cup Winning side, retiring from international play shortly after. Following the Vilita National Team's failure to qualify for World Cup 89 - the first such failure during or since Rotropii's career as a player, the former defender decided to start up a competing National Academy in a comparatively remote section of the Tivali Jungle. The "Rebel Academy" aimed to produce a "new generation" of Vilitan talent and was at first largely ignored by Vilitan League clubs. However, after Vilita's winless exit from a World Cup hosted on home soil, things changed entirely. A Clean wipe out of the Vilita National Coaching Staff came with a new edict: Out with the old, in with... something new. The Football Association of Vilita called upon Rotropii to lead the team for World Cup 91 Qualifying and it is no surprise that the former Marine Coast United defender has called upon some of his own trainees to be invited to Vilita National Team Training Camp prior to World Cup 91 Qualifying. After leading the Rebels to the World Cup 91 Finals despite having been drawn into a Qualifying Group with reigning World Cup Champion the Holy Empire, Endur Rotropii has been given one more campaign to try to restore the Vilitan National Team to its former glory. It is believed that while the Rebel Academy experiment has proven popular amongst fans, failure once more to escape from the Group Stage at home in the World Cup Finals would mark an end to the Rebel Projects in the eyes of the Vilitan Football Association, and could spell the end of Vilitan footsport as we know it.

GOALKEEPERS:

Zelkki Milake Jr. [ - Eastal Lunar - ]
GK ( AGE: 26 :: [ NT CAPS: 28 :: NT CLEAN SHEETS: 4 ] :: [ V&T CAPS: 14 :: V&T CLEAN SHEETS: 4 ] )

While Strike were unable to win any silverware, Edgeli fit straight into the squad as one of the top performing defenders in the entire league earning instant plaudits and recognition back in Turori. Edgeli would be an ever-present in the Turorian squad earning the role of captain as the team advanced to the World Cup Semi Finals for the first time in the nations history at World Cup 81 in the Free Republics and Banija. After a long absence from regional competition, Edgeli, retired from the Turori National Team, would captain the Vilita and Turori National Team during the 60th AOCAF Competition.

After working with the Vilita & Turori National Team for two campaigns including the Olympic Games, Edgeli took on the role of head coach for the Turori National Team during the Eagle’s Cup XIX Competition and after leading the team to a Bronze Medal in the first attempt, returned to coach the team again during Eagle's Cup X. While Edgeli's Eel's came up just short again, earning their second consecutive Bronze Medal, the performance was enough to convince the Football Association of Turori that Edgeli was their coach of the future; relieving long time coach Klailall Tuirma of the Head Coaching duties by promoting Tuirma to the role as Competition Director of the Football Association of Turori while assigning Edgeli to the role of Turori National Team Manager for the World Cup 88 Cycle. In their first cycle as Head Coach of the Turori National Team, Tarek Edgeli led the Eels to their first World Cup Title as well as becoming the first coach ever to win Back-To-Back Cup of Champions and Eagle's Cup titles.

Instead of staying local, Derizi opted to take their talents to Eura joining Revolutionaries as they look to take their career to the next level overseas. Amatopa’s first internationstatal tournament came with the Vilitan Union at the XIV Olympic Games and the youngster would earn a Gold Medal despite not appearing in any of the matches.

Location :: Eelandii is a purpose built "Sportropolis" built midway between Turori's two largest cities, Almintora and Cednia. Eelandii is accessible by air through the Almintora Internationstatal Skyport (AIS). Regular shuttles and public transportation run between Almintora, Eelandii and Cednia with an increase in services during active sporting events. Monorail services exist throughout Eelandii to connect fans to the different sporting venues as well as local lodging and eateries. As the Eelandii Sporting Village is not an officially populated city or community, all security within the "Sportropolis" is private in nature with company and independently hired security patrolling the region. However, law enforcement officials from both Almintora and Cednia have jurisdiction within Eelandii if they were otherwise in the area. The weather in Eelandii is mostly temperate with the chance of temperatures permitting naturally occurring snow considered as highly unlikely. Athletes and Staff typically stay directly in Eelandii while Media and Fans often stay nearby in Almintora, the Capital City of Turori, or Cednia home of the popular Cednia Beach tourist destination.

Eelandii has a number of restaurants, shops and amenities which typically are only open on match days as well as a smaller selection of local eateries that are open on a daily basis to serve the towns full time employees and visitors which include Football Association of Turori, Eagle's Club as well as visitors to the Race Eelandii! Racing School and Driving Experience at the Eelandii Grand Prix Course.

Stadium & Tenant History :: Constructed by the Football Association of Turori, The Eels Park site was a critical component of the successful World Cup 63 host bid for Aguazul and Turori which eventually resulted in the World Cup returning to Turori for the first time since World Cup 19. Once the Eels Park site was complete, the Football Association of Turori packed their things and moved out of their offices at the Almintora National Stadium. The Arena also hosted matches during the 26th Di Bradini Cup and due to its moderate size is one of the most atmospheric venues in all of Turori. Turorian National Team matches not being held in Cednia have also been held at Eels Park instead of Almintora National Stadium. Located equidistantly between the cities of Almintora and Cednia - the two largest cities in the Island Emirate, round the clock public transportation can take guests from Eelandii to either city center.

Due to its proximity to the Eagle's Club in Eelandii, Turori, Eels Park has regularly been used as a final venue for the Eagle's Cup having hosted the competition on five different occasions. Eels Park was also a host venue for the XIV Winter Olympic Games hosting select games of the Bandy Demonstration Event of which the Sportropolis of Eelandii was the hub of competition. Eels Park also hosted events during the AOlympic Games including the final round of the Atlantian Oceania Motorsports Championships. One famous recent matchup at the venue came during World Cup 88 Qualifying. While the 4-1 victory over Hisipinas was ultimately inconsequential for the Eels it was the achievement of a record fifteen consecutive victories and the home celebrations on the day which would be remembered by Eels fans fondly - even if over shadowed later in that cycle by the Turori National Team's first ever World Cup Title.

Eels Park is not the largest stadium in Turori and as such, other Venues will be used throughout the qualification.

Nyowani Kitara National Team

The national team is the country's main symbol that they are a repaired country, one that is moving past the horrors of their Civil War. They have fully established themselves on the international stage, particularly through the World Cup. They've now qualified for the last three World Cups in a row, reaching the semifinals of World Cup 92, while following that up with a respectable Round of 16 finish at World Cup 93.

World Cup 92 was when they really captured hearts and minds of the international community, as they made their own Cinderella Run through the tournament. Their run including a 2-0 win over the eventual world champions, Zwangzug. Some criticized the run, as it had 4 draws- group stage draws against Kelssek and Farfadillis, as well as penalty shootout wins against both TJUN-ia, and Pemecutan. NYK were felled in their rematch against Zwangzug in the World Cup 92 semifinals- but still, an absolutely shocking run for them to get there.

It was not a fluke- them winning two games at World Cup 93, before going down to the co-hosts, Chromatika, in the Round of 16 proved to the nation that they are a power in this sport. And that final translated on the regional stage- they bid to bring the 43rd Copa Rushmori to home soil, which they did so successfully. And it was successful on the pitch as well- making a shocking and stunning run all the way to the regional semifinals, in route to claiming a 3rd place crown. Now having reached both a World Cup semifinal and a Copa Rushmori semifinal in recent years, this team believes that can stand amongst the best of the best in world football- and look forward to proving this at World Cup 94.

Information
Country code: NYK
Denonym: New Kitaran
Association: Kitara's Workers Footballing Association(KWFA)
Manager: Liang Wei(Yuezhou). 55 years old. A former assistant manager for Yuezhou during their communist era, he is a good selection for the country to lead the national team. He understands the pressures of international football, and yet, as a committed communist, was definitely acceptable to the powers that be in Nyowani Kitara who hired him. He has also taken over the role of Executive Chairman of the KWFA at-large, which, functionally, makes him his own boss.

His role has become certainly more challenging. As a committed communist, he is in political opposition to the new government, but he has generated plenty of goodwill for guiding Nyowani Kitara successfully through their first ever World Cup Qualification. Since he's been to two more World Cups, and the knockout stages of both, his job is beyond safe- tends to happen when you take them from being a war-torn civil war nation, to one that has reached the top 10 of the KPBs. He has now reached the KO stages at back to back World Cups, as well as the semifinals of the most recent Copa Rushmori- proving himself to be one of the top-tier managerial talents in world football.

Senior Assistant Manager: Raira Ouma. 45 years old.
Captain: Odede Angonga
Alternate Captain: Odour Bigombe
CR ranking: 14th
KPB ranking: 10th

Notes:
- Our free kicks are taken by Wang Jiahui. Penalties are taken by Odede Angonga.

Wang Jiahui
- Wang is a mobile forward most at home as a penalty-box predator, but who also loves playing on the right wing and cutting inside to unleash long-range shots. Wang Jiahui was once conisdered the next big thing in Yue football. While his footballing talent remains, his diehard support for Ren Qiang's doomed socialist regime in Yuezhou turned him into a POW and a fugitive in the newly-established United Republics, and so he had to go abroad. Finding a home in Mytanija, he's risen to stardom with the opportunity focus solely on club football, with Litala '93. But he's itching to get back into international duty. Wang Jiahui, as a supporter of Ren Qiang, was also a very loud supporter of President Nafuna Akongo during the civil war. He even held a fundraiser for the KPWC in the early stages of the war, when it looked as if the Kitara Revolutionary Forces would collapse. Therefore, without a country, the President reached out, and gave him an award for 'special services to the state'. She also, surprisingly, gave him citizenship- a unique power of the President in the Kitaran Constitution. Despite diplomatic protests and strong protests from other FAs, as he is a Kitaran citizen, he is eligible to represent Nyowani Kitara in international competition- so his compatriot, Liang Wei, has called him up.

Kamzuni Chinwemwe
- A refugee to Banija as a result of the civil war, he has finally done what nobody has expected him to do- earned a callup to play for his country. Previously banished, on a functional level, from national team duty as a result of his anti-Akongo views, Liang Wei has finally invited him to play for the national team, in recognition of Muhoozi Kulan's ascension to the Presidency. While the remaining defectors from the World Cup 90 Qualification cycle seem unlikely to ever play for the national team ever again, Chinwemwe's call-up will only serve to further strengthen Liang Wei's position as the most powerful man in sport in NYK.

The playmaker is very talented, but also inconsistent- he has games where he lits the world on fire, and you're wondering why he doesn't play for a team like Raynor City United. Then, the next game, you're wondering how he got out of the third division. He can do it all- pass, dribble, shoot, etc... But he is very prone to fail spectacularly. Can he earn consistent playing time for the national team here as they chase for their first ever piece of silverware?

Defectors
The following players have defected from the national team during World Cup 90 Qualifying, due to opposition to the ruling regime as a result of the Civil War. They are no longer banned from the NT, but the manager doesn't ever seem likely to call them up.
RM #17 Vilgot Westermark. 38 years old. Osterland ethnic group. Starter for Matchdays 1-3. Benched for Matchdays 4 & 5 for speaking out against the ruling regime, defected and quit the NT between Matchdays 5 and 6. After being a refugee in Tikariot(and his family refugees in Eura), he is back living at home in NYK, but still on the outs regarding the NT.
LM #7 Johannes von Weber. 37 years old. Zealander ethnic group. Starter for Matchdays 1-3. Benched for Matchdays 4 & 5 for speaking out against the ruling regime, defected and quit the NT between Matchdays 5 and 6. After being a refugee in Tikariot(and his family refugees in Eura), he is back living at home in NYK, but still on the outs regarding the NT.
CM #8 Arendt Sundin. 39 years old. Osterland ethnic group. Starter for Matchdays 1-5. Defected and quit the NT between Matchdays 5 and 6 after speaking out against the regime. A refugee in Chromatika.

Arvid Handsdotter
[M/He/Him] Hansdotter is being called the future of Kitaran football. While, of course, there is always some hyperbole with declarations like that from countries that are new to this, he impressed in league play in Nyowani Kitara as one of the league's most consistent players, even at his young age. While his effort defending varies wildly, he's got a laser focus when going forward. He can pin point passes, and moves well without the ball to help pull apart defenses. Almost everybody agrees that he's good enough to start for the NYK national team- however, his vocal support of Osterlander independence left him blackballed from the national team. But with a new government, Liang Wei, with an eye towards making limited concessions so KWFA power isn't stripped away from him, has brought Hansdotter to the forefront for the national team.

World Cup 94

Sargossa - 'The Corsairs'

Head Coach

Slavko Jelic (Mytanija)

Something of a left field choice as national coach, but he certainly ticked a lot of boxes. A manager with vast experience who spent more than a decade at CDSA in his homeland, creating teams that consistently punched above their weight. Recommended for the role by Mytanar legend Lev Repin. His tenure in charge has been a frustrating case of the wheels coming off when success seems so close. Two years ago the Corsairs led their qualification group at the halfway point, before collapsing to fifth by the end. Jelic has also masterminded successive Copa Rushmori semi-final appearances. The national side have been doing this for a while, this campaign will see them hit 1200 senior international fixtures.

GK: 25. Jacobo Robles (29) – El Nacional

He’s still in the squad but the word on the street is that Jacobo Robles’ stuttery end to the Copa Rushmori will see him relinquish the gloves and the number one spot. The evergreen Alejandro Martínez, fresh from another domestic title win and an impressive international cup campaign, is likely to return between the sticks. Imanol Sánchez remains a steady, if chronically underused, understudy.

DR: 2. Adrian Soriano (28) – Ciudad Soluca
DC: 5. Miguel Alonso (32) – Ciudad Soluca
DC: 6. Nicolás Riesgo (22) – 1923 Esca (Mytanija)
DL: 3. Antonio Benito (25) – Sportivo Soluca
DRC: 12. Santiago Álvarez (25) – S.C. Goza
DC: 14. Gerard Rodríguez (32) – El Nacional
DL: 19. Milagros Fernán (24) – Lok. Cassia (Mytanija)
DC: 21: Joaquín Sanz (25) – El Nacional

It felt like a coup, when Jelic tempted Nicolás Riesgo away from the country of his birth to that of his parents. It feels like even more of a coup now, with the centreback the foundation around which the rest of the national team will be built. He’s set to be partnered with the experienced duo of Miguel Alonso and the returning Gerard Rodríguez. Adrian Soriano has made the right wingback berth his own but the left continues to be a source of some issue. Could Antonio Benito, fresh from a spectacular debut season in the Sargossan capital, prove to be the answer? Santiago Álvarez and Joaquín Sanz are tried and tested backups in the middle, while Milagros Fernán provides a more circumspective option on the left.

DMC: 4. Marcos Águila (31) – El Nacional
AMRLC: 7. Moisés Garrido (26) – Ciudad Soluca
MC: 8. Enrique González (32) – Ciudad Soluca
AMLC: 11. Dani Azuaga (28) – Dínamo Maturín
AMRC: 15. Gonzalo Navarro (28) – Ciudad Soluca
MC: 16. Juan Esteban Collazo (23) – CDSA (Mytanija)
DMC: 18. Fernando Moruga (25) – Energija-Nuklearna (Mytanija)
MC: 22. Elías Pozo (22) – Atletik (Mytanija)
AMLC: 24. Martín de la Cavallería (25) – Dínamo Maturín

The coach’s contacts in his homeland have been paying off massively in the midfield, with Fernando Moruga coming in to join Juan Esteban Collazo for the last campaign. And he could potential have pulled another rabbit from his hat, with Elías Pozo named in the squad for the first time. Leaving the very real possibility of an entirely Mytanar based midfield trio. Although Sargossan top flight stalwarts Enrique González, Gonzalo Navarro and Marcos Águila will still be expecting plenty of game time. Moisés Garrido and Martín de la Cavallería will likely fill the roles of impact subs.

FC: 9. Mateo Manzanares (29) – Dínamo Maturín
FRLC: 10. Pablo Alarcón (30) – El Nacional
FC: 17. Lucas Recoba (26) – El Nacional
FLC: 20. Jesús Blaya (27) – Sportivo Soluca
FC: 23. Gustavo Alcocer (22) – Atletik Thessia (Mytanija)

On paper there is an embarrassment of riches up front. Proven international penalty area predator Mateo Manzanares may well keep the number nine shirt, but Lucas Recoba finished fifteen goals above the Dínamo hitman, and five clear of the next best goalscorer, in the domestic charts and is consequently expected to lead the line again. Alarcón remains an attacker of the trickiest order and should join his club teammate up front. Gustavo Alcocer has a proven track record of turning a game from the bench. And interested eyes will be on Jesús Blaya, for whom Sportivo forked out a staggering fee for two years ago.

Style

In Sargossa the three at the back is king so, for a coach who is no stranger to three centrebacks, Jelic should have little impediment in implementing his favoured tactical plans. He’s been trying a 3-4-2-1 system, with limited success. Traditionally Jelic’s sides have always been strong defensively so he’s expected to utilise a 5-3-2 to create a greater foundation on which to soak up the pressure before launching that all important counter attack. Set pieces will likely play a key role too. Specialised set piece coaches are much in vogue domestically and Manuel Semprún has been poached from domestic giants Ciudad Soluca to fill the role for the national side.

The Sargossan domestic league is quite a physical league so challenges can often be described as 'uncompromising' and cards are pretty common. Gamesmanship, while not encouraged, is not entirely uncommon. But diving is considered particularly stigmatic so Sargossan players are unlikely to be found doing it.

Venues

Estadio Generalissimo Joaquín Delgado
City: Soluca
Capacity: 108,879
Tenants: Ciudad Soluca, Sportivo Soluca
Opponent(s): Mytanija, Starblaydia

The centrepiece of a major beautification development in the capital, the stadium sits within the Parque De Los Vencedores and alongside the Corazal River. Designed by Nethertopian architect Gert Naamloos and part financed by two SuperLiga clubs, the Sargossan government and Starblaydi sportswear giants ediraf it is a truly magnificent sporting arena. The Estadio Generalissimo Joaquín Delgado, as the ediraf Arena was rechristened when the naming rights deal expired, is the epitome of a modern football stadium. Consequently, it is the national side’s most commonly used venue. Unfortunately, the glamourous surroundings are marred somewhat by the Soluca crowds’ reputation for being both fickle and moody.

Independienté
City: Goza
Capacity: 119,354
Tenants: El Nacional
Opponent(s): Banija

The very antithesis to the modern Estadio Generalissimo Joaquín Delgado, and revelling in that fact. The internal facilities may have been kept relatively up to date at the Independienté but little has changed at the vast open bowl since its construction. The nation’s largest sporting venue and one that prides itself on the genuine carnival atmosphere produced on matchdays.

Ciudad Deportiva
City: Maturín
Capacity: 52,000
Tenants: Dínamo Maturín
Opponent(s): Sylestone

Although the name has come to refer to the stadium alone the Ciudad Deportiva is actually a whole site devoted to sporting excellence. Constructed as part of a government drive to boast sport, the site is also home to the national Track and Field Centre of Excellence, an aquatic centre, basketball and volleyball facilities and a state-of-the-art sport science clinic. The stadium itself is an impressive venue that is regularly voted as the top matchday experience by fans in the SuperLiga. The Sargossan record there too is very strong, having dropped points only three times in matches played in Maturín over the years.

Estadio Silva
City: San Marquez
Capacity: 62,543
Tenants: Sporting San Marquez
Opponent(s): Boring Paradise

Like the Independienté the Estadio Silva is one of the older venues used by the national side. Set within one of the poorer districts of the eclectic southern city of San Marquez, in amongst the brightly coloured favelas and street vendors, a trip to the stadium is more a cultural experience than a sporting one for the foreign visitor. Some famous nations have taken to the Estadio Silva turf in the past, names such as Sorthern Northland, Candelaria And Marquez and Cassadaigua.

Bonilla Arena
City: Jucaro
Capacity: 74,475
Tenants: Alianza Jucaro
Opponent(s): Ochre Islands

The quintessential rich man’s play thing, Alianza Jucaro are the nearly men of Sargossan domestic football. Bankrolled by the mega-wealthy Bonilla family the club have won three national cup competitions in recent years but have never claimed the league title they so crave. While the Bonillas have thrown money at the playing staff they’ve also invested heavily in infrastructure, including the stadium that bears their name. Set in the South Quays district of the port city, right on the waters of the Bay of Carrasco, it’s an imposing venue for visiting sides.

Petro Dome
City: Mercada
Capacity: 42,511
Tenants: Petro Mercada
Opponent(s): Josifovo

In a city so synonymous with Petro National, the Sargossan national oil and gas company, it’s no surprise to find both the local football team and the stadium in which they play blazoned with the Petro name. Oil wealth has yet to equal success on the pitch for the Incan side but that wealth may have played some part in the city replacing island rivals Torreón in the regular World Cup rotation.

El Torrigal
City: Torreón
Capacity: 30,000
Tenants: Estrella Torreón
Opponent(s): The Spartan Dominion

One of the nation's oldest and most picturesque venues returns this time around. Nestled in the mountain fastness of Torreón, high amongst the Chalaco Mountains, El Torrigal is the smallest of the venues but one in which Sargossa enjoys a formidable record, largely thanks to the altitude. Dropped from hosting duties to accommodate the Petro Dome in nearby Mercada, but reinstated following a vocal public outcry.

Estadio Bolero
City: Daroca
Capacity: 44,866
Tenants: Daroca Marinos
Opponent(s): The 14 Stars

Having dropped out of the rotation for several World Cup cycles, the Bolero returns again and looks to becoming a regular fixture. Laying on the edge of the port city’s historic market district a matchday experience can get cultural if you’re not careful.

El Viñedo
City: Camíri
Capacity: 39,428
Tenants: Club De Camíri
Opponent(s): Al-Tamazgha

Nestled in the leafy heart of Sargossa’s wine country, a trip to El Viñedo has been a welcome excursion for football fans up and down the nation. With its oak panelling, gourmet cusince and copious amounts of products of the owner’s wine empire matchday in Camíri tends to be pleasant regardless of the result.

by **Naixi** » Sun Jun 25, 2023 1:57 pm

The Celestial Empire of Naixi (pronounced nye-SHEE) is a coastal country located in the region of Rushmore. It possesses a pleasant, warm-summer Mediterranean climate and largely flat and passable terrain. These factors led to a famous rail line being built in the country, which required the labor of many thousands of Chinese indentured servants. The railroad eventually made Naixi a hub for industry such as mining and manufacturing, but social tensions between the ruling elite and the historically underserved descendants of the rail workers - who were never more than 40 percent of the country's population - led to a brief but bloody social conflict that began about twelve years ago. The unrest began as street protests, but eventually armed conflict swept the region, particularly the east of the country. Cease fires and conditional independence treaties were signed three years ago, and almost all of the once-dominant Golden People (as the Naixese call their former superiors) have been expelled. Peace has endured so far, but militarization remains high and a policy requiring two years of compulsory military service from all citizens remains in place.

Zhong Xian Xu, a resistance leader during the independence conflict and self-declared general, very briefly became head of state when Naixi's sovereignty was initially declared. He fell ill within a week of accepting the position, however, and his hastily-planned succession plans distributed his administrative and political authority to eight children and grandchildren. Xu selected the number eight in a deliberate reference to the Eight Banners of the Qing Dynasty and declared his successors to be a Celestial Council, then passed away. The Celestial Council attempts to carry on his revolutionary legacy by representing the Naixese state and the racial category of Naixese people more broadly, but it does not have any meaningful powers anymore. Those powers have been redistributed to the 953-seat Parliament of Naixi, which is currently controlled through a supermajority by the Nationalists for Naixi Party (also referred to as the N4N Party). A general election will be held three months from now; power could soon shift hands.

The political culture of the country is generally liberal and the WA rates the democratic structures enjoyed by Naixese citizens very highly. General elections must occur at least once every 36 months but can be declared earlier if the Prime Minister fails in a vote of confidence. Almost all forms of speech and art - including politically themed speech and art - are protected rights. The nation's judicial system is young, but it has already built a substantive track record of striking down legislation curtailing freedom of expression. In recent weeks, however, political tensions have grown. A change to parliamentary structure has stripped party members of individual voting power on legislation; MPs may now only vote in party leadership elections and votes of confidence. Both executive and legislative power are now held entirely by the Prime Minister. This has immediately caused the various factions of the N4N Party to go to war with the PM over various issues of contention, and the upcoming general election is guaranteed to the most contentious in Naixi's young history.

Crime is quite low by international standards, but by Rushmori standards it is somewhat high. The Ministry of Law and Order, which controls the National Police and the Department of Corrections, is powerful and well-funded, but divides opinions among the populace. Some view the Ministry as protecting the Naixese national social character, while others view it - in particular the National Police - as an abusive paramilitary organization. An unarmed 15-year-old Rokikoliji boy was shot and killed by a police unit, and none of the officers involved faced prosecution. The Naixese left characterizes the incident as an atrocity. Furthermore, the Ministry has attracted vociferous international criticism for its approach to national cyber security, which has recently been made intentionally laisses faire in a fruitless attempt to mollify technology firms.

These firms, which once were the driver of economic growth in Naixi, have been leaving the country in droves for the last calendar year. This is a result of three major things. First, an unweighted lottery system granting public infrastructure contracts, second, protectionist laws signed by the Prime Minister designed to shelter so-called "old media" such as radio and television from the disruptions of the tech industry, and third, the mostly-unwarranted perception that the government is in bed with organized labor. No metrics measuring the economic health of the country are headed in the right direction, and recent strikes by retail and service workers have forced the passage of guaranteed workers' benefits rules and restrictions on hours of operation, cutting into the once-stupendous profits of restaurant chains and retail giants. Some recovery has occurred in the last twelve months, but this is largely due to the growth of the arms manufacturing and biomedical research industries, and not so much to the return of the tech firms.

The area that is now known as Naixi also has a long history of being used for metals mining and industrial fishing, and both industries have had negative consequences on ecology. Broadly poor agricultural practices, the prevalence of single-use plastics, lack of regulation around carbon emissions, rudimentary national waste disposal services, and an offshore oil rig accident six months ago are all factors in the nation's infamously bad environmental practices. Air and water pollution are very serious problems nationwide. Funds were recently made available for hydroelectric and solar energy, but these projects are in their infancy and are being resisted by Naixi's captains of industry.

Numerous currents of social conservatism - some nationalist and some religious - are becoming more and more common, and the current government has shown strong sympathy with them. Immigration to Naixi is incredibly tightly restricted, and divorce and alcohol consumption have all been recently banned, all to public applause. Small businesses have broad authority to deny service to members of the LGBTQ community, and racism and xenophobia are extremely commonplace. Even public laughter has been deemed unrelated to speech (which, as mentioned above, is protected) and now requires a permit (which is somewhat-easily obtained but puts you on a government list of "non-religious persons").

The one area as yet untouched by conservative culture war is drug law, which is extremely relaxed. Cannabis is totally deregulated and decriminalized. Growing, possessing, and consuming the plant are all totally legal. Other drugs, too, are very easy to acquire. Pain medications, including opiates, can be obtained with a prescription, and not only can any doctor get you one, any person with a medical degree of any kind can get you one. Only hallucinogens require special effort to find, and that has less to do with state policy and more to do with lack of demand.

The art and culture of the country is often presented in a register consistent with these libertine attitudes around drugs, with the low brow held in higher regard than the high. Classic literature receives the same reverence as rock and hip hop music, and you can study street fashion in local universities but probably have to go abroad to study abstract art. As a consequence of all this, international observers are often quite critical of the country's cultural development. Naixese cuisine in particular is notoriously bad. Pizza is very popular in Naixi, however, the pies themselves are often made with cheap ingredients. Crusts are frequently paper thin and flavorless, and the tomato-heavy sauce is often overly salted and overly sweet, with not nearly enough cheese. Global food critics are unashamed to use the word "repellent" to describe it.

The capacity of the nation's armed forces expands more and more with every passing month, and the nascent arms manufacturing industry grows with it. As an abstraction, the notion of defending Naixese racial sovereignty is very popular within the polity, and the military has been able to successfully establish buy-in amongst the citizenry by pitching itself as a guardian of society. The mandatory period of military service is helpful, as well, as it leads all adult citizens to believe the armed forces are a communitarian project governed by social contract. It is not, of course - the army, navy, and air forces are as hierarchical as any military's - but the mythology of democratic governance persists nonetheless.

A loyal disciple of the tactically erudite elder stateswoman of Naixese football - former Shockwaves boss Xiao Cheng Li, who is now in the dugout for the Astograthian national team - Gui Fan Ren is somehow both an adherent to the aesthetically pleasing possession-based philosophies that have always been in the ascendancy at Chongjibo, and also an innovative free spirit, self-trained in what some would call the dark arts of defensive football. In this sense, he is in many ways the country's first "systems" manager at any level; he approaches every sampling of players as a tactical puzzle and draws upon Naixi's innate football DNA in order to solve it. At Chongjibo, a club many predicted would be in crisis in the aftermath of Li's shocking departure, Ren somehow made the champions even better, entrusting his goalkeeper and defenders to lock down encroaching opposition strikers while continuing the Pink and Black's tradition of dominating possession. By the end of the league season, Ren's outfit was crowned champion of the League of the Two Sapphires, and his back line conceded just 14 times in 27 matches, or 0.52 per game.

But the question asks itself: if Ren's Chongjibo were so good, why did he leave the club after just a single year in charge? Why, because his country was in need, you see. Run Ming Kwan's sudden retirement (every bit as abrupt as Li's had been at Chongjibo) has put the Blues in a bind; the Naixese national team will have to appoint its third manager in the past twelve months. Ren was a relatively clear choice... he knows the personalities and skills of many of Naixi's best players by heart (Lu Fang Huang, Kian Zhi Yuan, and even Jen Ta Jin, thanks to the latter's single year in pink while Ren was an assistant manager). It has put the Shockwaves in a non-ideal position, but rumors of an upcoming major managerial swoop have put Chongjibo supporters at ease a bit. And, of course, from the perspective of a Shockwaves fan, your club's loss is your country's gain.

As for tactics, there are no signs at all that Ren will deviate from his hybrid style of possession and defense. His Naixi will be a side that looks to win the ball back and keep it at all costs - even shooting at an open goal will be viewed by the Blues' new boss as a philosophically unsound action. Should he have the players to do it - and a not-so-long trip down memory lane, to the era of airtight defensive organization under Gan Liang, will provide analysts the evidence that he does - this Naixi team could be incredibly difficult to score against. Discipline, as was the case under Gan Liang, will play a major role on the training pitch and in the dressing room. The players, for example, have been stripped of their right to select their own squad number... instead, a lottery has been held. The only stipulations were that goalkeepers would receive the numbers 1, 12, and 23.

As clear as Ren's vision is for the future of this national team, questions still abound. How long, to give one example, will this managerial post last? Naixi seem now to be in an unfortunate cycle of managers assuming the mantle of national team power only to abruptly retire. It wouldn't be completely astounding to hear the 65-year-old Ren say that he'd like to hang up his boots in the non-distant future... and that would mean more turnover for this national team and yet another total overhaul in shape and tactical identity.

Ren's pronouns are he/him.

The national colors of Naixi are sea blue, olive green, and plum, as seen on Naixi's flag. The uniforms of the national team follow this color scheme, as one would expect. The primary shirt, shorts, and socks are all in the classic shade of sea blue, with olive green and plum trim, whereas the change strip features shirt, shorts, and socks of olive green, with sea blue and plum trim.

Three arenas will be used by the Blues: the Sha Dadao in Naixi's largest city of Qiawutian, the Huangse Migong in Naixi's capital of Chumeichang, and the Huangtong Ta in Naixi's aerospace manufacturing hub, Wanqianganga. See the blurb beneath each stadium image to find out where your team is playing when it visits Naixi.

The modern city of Qiawutian is a utopia for cosmopolitan tech types and late-night partiers who idolize a sort of cyberpunk, glossy black aesthetic, and the Sha Dadao integrates that new sensibility with the traditional color (orange) of the country's far west, where the nation's largest city resides. Walking through the stadium's turnstiles is meant to feel like walking through a web of hot orange embers glowing against the surface of a black ocean. Modern and sophisticated, the stadium can seat 27,190 spectators and is not out of place in its surroundings (the city's main commercial district). Its name translates to "Avenue of Sand" in English, so called because of its close proximity to a small patch of dunes that once rose from the grassy plain on which the part of town was built. Bohemian types are known to traipse casually around the verdant area by the stadium, which features a small park bordered by wine bars and art galleries. The stadium is the home venue for fully half of all the clubs in the League of the Two Sapphires, so many players know it well.

The Sha Dadao in Qiawutian will be used on matchdays 7, 9, 19, and 21, against Mameath, Huayramarca, Pyazhnaya, and Ko-oren respectively.

The Huangse Migong (“Yellow Maze”) is neither yellow nor a maze. Instead, it takes its name from the old Chumeichang neighborhood in which it is located, a historic district of winding streets and massive tan brick mansions that once housed the Naixese people’s former slave masters. Now the neighborhood is a sophisticated residential area with several museums, and Naixi’s largest stadium rises like an awkward blue "X" jutting out of the ground next door to stately Victorian manors. The arena once was supposed to have a retractable roof - a perplexing addition given the Naixese capital’s pleasant Mediterranean climate - but the architects pulled the plug on the idea during construction, saving face a bit. Last year, a children’s maze was illustrated on the long floor of the concourse in yellow paint (a revisionist way of justifying the park’s misnomer), and the stadium is a popular field trip destination for local schools when the venue isn't in use. 34,117 fans can safely sit inside the stadium when it is at capacity (which it will be).

The Huangse Migong in Chumeichang will be used on matchdays 2, 4, and 16, against Darmen, the Cherven Cities, and Jeruselem respectively.

For nearly a century, the Golden People who formerly ruled over a restive population of laboring Naixese selected the northwestern city now known as Wanqianganga to build that which was intended to provoke envy and fear amongst their global neighbors: a vast fleet of military aircraft. Or, rather, they tried to. For decade after decade, plane designs were shown to have major internal flaws halfway through construction, helicopters crashed into air traffic control towers, and bombers had their cargo "go off" a bit too early in their hangars. The quietly delighted Naixese began to call the city where all this occurred "Wanqianganga," or "Thousands of Embarrassments," a rude inside joke that forever remained a mystery to those Golden People who declined to learn Naixese Mandarin (nearly all of them). Today, the Naixese armed forces have taken charge of the aircraft-building industry in this medium-sized city, and with military spending ballooning, Wanqianganga is booming. A new 20,520-seat stadium, the Huangtong Ta ("Brass Tower" in English... it's named after a nearby skyscraper), has just been built.

The Huangtong Ta in Wanqianganga will be used on matchdays 11, 12, and 14, against Île de Richelieu, Sannyamathland, and Greater Cebu respectively.

Note: Though Chinese naming customs almost always see the surname preceding the given name, in Naixi it has become commonplace for the given name to precede the surname. This is a result of being culturally dominated over for so many decades. Efforts are being made to revert to the traditional method, but new habits die as hard as old.

Goalkeepers

JI NING ⇨ #1 ⇨ GK ⇨ FOREST CITY ATHLETIC (QUE)

Race: Naixese - Hometown: Qiawutian - Pronouns: He/Him

Mostly, the Q-League was a welcome home for Ning in his first year in Quebec and Shingoryeo, but he'll be disappointed with Forest City Athletic's strikers as the Trees too often failed to turn draws into wins. Still though, the 19-year-old penalty save specialist wasn't named in the league's Team of the Year for nothing. If Huang wasn't such a beast, Ning might be in goal for Naixi.

DI NA DENG ⇨ #12 ⇨ GK ⇨ YINYING (NIX)

Race: Naixese - Hometown: Chumeichang - Pronouns: She/Her

Now playing in the second tier with Yinying, to whom she has been loyal despite all the club's struggles, Deng has been recalled to national team duty in one of Ren's more perplexing moves. The 32-year-old is good with the ball at her feet, but that's all you can say. The conventional wisdom is that she is there to bring experience to an otherwise very young goalkeeping corps.

LU FANG HUANG ⇨ #23 ⇨ GK ⇨ CHONGJIBO (NIX)

Race: Naixese - Hometown: Qiawutian - Pronouns: He/Him

Even Chongjibo supporters have been awed by how much the emergence of this 21-year-old has forever raised the standard of goalkeeping in Naixi. Despite his tender age, Huang is unquestionably an elite goalkeeper and is the prime reason the Shockwaves are such a domestic juggernaut. He has outstanding distribution, fabulous positional sense, and mousetrap-fast reflexes.

Center Backs

ZHEN BANG TAN ⇨ #2 ⇨ CB ⇨ QIJI (NIX)

Race: Naixese - Hometown: Qiawutian - Pronouns: He/Him

A recent graduate of the Qiji youth academy, Zhen Bang Tan (whose older brother Hang Ki has been on the national team for a while) is no stranger to passing-driven tactical schemes. The 18-year-old's technique is basically flawless and his decision-making is very good, but he might not be the best defender, and you... uh... sort of want your center backs to be able to do that?

XIAO NIAO DONG ⇨ #5 ⇨ CB ⇨ LITALA 93 (MYT)

SUSPENDED FOR MATCHDAY 22
Race: Naixese - Hometown: Qiawutian - Pronouns: She/Her

Litala 93's miserable campaign last year was rife with some truly atrocious defending, and Dong sadly can't escape the blame. Was the Mytanar league too big a step up for her? Possibly, but she'll be pleased to be working with Ren, as he really rates an aggressive tackler with good concentration (that's what this 21-year-old is). She'll have a bit of license to wander into midfield, too.

JIU LING GENG ⇨ #9 ⇨ CB ⇨ ROGERTON WHITECAPS (DAR) ✚

INJURED FOR REMAINDER OF CYCLE
Race: Naixese - Hometown: Chumeichang - Pronouns: He/Him

The shy and tall 23-year-old defender Geng was once thought to be insufficiently skillful to be a starter for the Blues, but for Aierlanren, his club during his single year in the Naixese top flight, he was among the league's best defenders, known for his wonderful tackling and heading. In his first season with Rogerton Whitecaps in Darmen, he reached a domestic cup final.

GUAN CAI TSUNG ⇨ #11 ⇨ CB ⇨ CAZADORES CATHAIR (AUD)

Race: Naixese - Hometown: Chumeichang - Pronouns: He/Him

This 20-year-old utility defender is a strong passer and is good in the air. He is a liability when it comes to acceleration and pace, but his versatility makes him useful as he can play anywhere along the back line. Plus, he is showing clear signs of improvement at his club, Cazadores Cathair. The Audioslavian giants recently kept four clean sheets in the Cup Winners' Cup quarters and semis.

JUN MING ⇨ #19 ⇨ CB ⇨ BAOMAO (NIX)

Race: Naixese - Hometown: Bao - Pronouns: He/Him

Mostly known for his entertainingly awful relationship with Aierlanren striker Chen Ling (with whom he now has to somehow get along), Ming is a part of East Qiawutian Derby lore thanks to his perpetual online trolling of Irish fans. The 24-year-old is a great defender, too... strong, brave, and possessing uncanny anticipation. He tends to give the ball away in transition, though.

HANG KI TAN ⇨ #20 ⇨ CB ⇨ BAOMAO (NIX)

Race: Naixese - Hometown: Qiawutian - Pronouns: He/Him

As tall as Geng, but too skinny to present quite the same aerial threat, this 25-year-old is, like Ming, a fan favorite at perennial underdog club Baomao. Sadly, he has quite the inconsistent track record with the national team. Tan is actually an above average passer of the ball, and is honestly a delightful tackler, but in the past he's demonstrated he's a tad too slow at international level.

Full Backs

KEE TIAN ⇨ #3 ⇨ LB ⇨ LAKEWOOD CITY (TMB)

Race: Naixese - Hometown: Qiawutian - Pronouns: He/Him

This pacey 21-year-old could be even deadlier now that he doesn't have to handle the left wing all alone. He's a specialist in stretching play but also is unlikely to be caught out by opposing wingers as his defensive awareness is strong. Debates have raged for years as to whether Tian's crossing is good or bad, but at Tumbran powerhouse Lakewood City, he has plenty of time to develop.

LAO SHIH XIN ⇨ #15 ⇨ LB ⇨ VERIASOD WOLVES (TKT)

Race: Naixese - Hometown: Chumeichang - Pronouns: She/Her

This 29-year-old's first year with Zhayao was marred by baffling passing mishaps and horribly-executed offside traps. But Xin improved significantly last season, helping the Miners rise up the table with her creative direct dribbling and startling acceleration. Veriasod Wolves in Tikariot went and bought her recently - can she help the Pack crawl away from the drop once again?

MA HUAN YEP ⇨ #21 ⇨ RB ⇨ QIJI (NIX)

Race: Naixese - Hometown: Qiawutian - Pronouns: He/Him

The Wizards leapt triumphantly into the IFCF Challenger's Cup after last season's fourth-place finish, and you can't say Yep wasn't the core driver of the whole campaign. With heavenly passing attributes and a sharp footballing brain, this 26-year-old can do a job at both right and left back, and just as past managers Liang and Kwan did, Ren will use Yep liberally as a substitute.

JU YI PAO ⇨ #22 ⇨ RB ⇨ VERIASOD WOLVES (TKT)

Race: Naixese - Hometown: Qiawutian - Pronouns: He/Him

It was a very tough first year with Veriasod Wolves for Pao. His team only just barely dodged the relegation bullet, and he didn't exactly play well individually. But despite that, the 32-year-old can still boast a superlative work rate. Lightning fast and totally uninterested in defending, he'll be a crucial outlet valve if the Blues' midfield passing pentagram fails for some reason.

Central Midfielders

KIAN ZHI YUAN ⇨ #4 ⇨ CM ⇨ CHONGJIBO (NIX) ⇨ C

Race: Naixese - Hometown: Chumeichang - Pronouns: He/Him

The face of the champions Chongjibo, the Naixi captain Yuan is a pure technician. An injury suffered in his early 20s has severely hurt his mobility, but he's so good, it has never mattered to any team he's ever played for. The 29-year-old will continue to play somewhat further back than he used to, but Shockwaves fans can already tell you he makes a stellar deep-lying playmaker.

SA KOTA YUE ⇨ #7 ⇨ CM ⇨ SANAR (CMT)

Race: Naixese - Hometown: Chumeichang - Pronouns: She/Her

No sooner had she burst onto the international scene with the Blues than this 33-year-old began to look a bit too old. However, a few months after moving to Sanar, in one of the best leagues in the world, Yue's reputation is still golden enough to merit consideration for the starting eleven. Her chipped shot is notoriously deadly and difficult for goalkeepers to gauge.

MEI YING CHANG ⇨ #14 ⇨ CM ⇨ CHONGJIBO (NIX)

Race: Naixese - Hometown: Qiawutian - Pronouns: She/Her

Conventional wisdom? This 26-year-old lacks the professionalism needed for the national team. The deserved recipient of one or two marks of discredit while at Chongjibo, Chang is not at all a team player and has unexceptional stamina. But lately she's been electric. With an astonishing first touch, she can slice right through midfield traffic. Once in space, she's a great finisher, too.

YOU LIANG MOK ⇨ #16 ⇨ DM ⇨ FUCHOU (NIX)

Race: Naixese - Hometown: Wanqianganga - Pronouns: He/Him

Run Ming Kwan's departure from the Avengers for the national team job was, in retrospect, a godsend for this shrewd 24-year-old. The moment former Aierlanren assistant manager Lian Wei Chew took the reins at Fuchou, Mok knew his time had come. Possessing stupendous concentration and entertaining aggressiveness, his intelligence will be vital in helping Naixi park the bus.

QI CHAO HARK ⇨ #17 ⇨ CM ⇨ ZHAYAO (NIX)

Race: Naixese - Hometown: Chumeichang - Pronouns: He/Him

This dynamic midfielder is a product of Zhayao's youth academy, an institution that seems to spit out aggressive, ferocious, and even violent attacking players at every juncture. Hark is no exception. A ball winner with license to drift around, this 22-year-old was vital for the Miners last season. Even with the population of the Blues' midfield taking a nosedive, he should still start.

Wingers

CHIN CHIH YAP ⇨ #6 ⇨ RW ⇨ AIERLANREN (NIX)

Race: Naixese - Hometown: Qiawutian - Pronouns: She/Her

It was Chen Ling who was really on fire for the Irish at the end of last season, but as an attacking partner, Yap still demonstrated her usefulness as a sort of wide advanced playmaker tucking in from the wing. This 26-year-old has excellent agility and balance, and her decision-making and vision while on the ball are remarkable. She really ought to work on her technique, however.

JEN TA JIN ⇨ #8 ⇨ LW ⇨ FUCHOU (NIX)

Race: Naixese - Hometown: Qiawutian - Pronouns: He/Him

A mercurial talent, to be sure, but a talent nonetheless, Jin has already overcome much in his young career. He's a pariah to Chongjibo fans, and hasn't always performed well for the national team, so there are many who don't rate him. But for his current club Fuchou, it's hard to overlook him. The 19-year-old is a wonderful dribbler who relishes finding pockets of space.

WEI YAN LIN ⇨ #13 ⇨ RW ⇨ MAZINAW VANORIAN (KSK)

Race: Naixese - Hometown: Bao - Pronouns: She/Her

With Kwan retired, the questions about how the national team will use this pacey, tireless 25-year-old are gone. While she's a bit too brash and attack-minded for Ren's tastes, she's hard to ignore: Mazinaw Vanorian just grabbed her on the cheap with some of the cash they hauled in after selling Laura Adler to Mipojoseon and she may very well get a decent bit of playing time there.

Strikers

CHEN LING ⇨ #10 ⇨ ST ⇨ AIERLANREN (NIX)

Race: Naixese - Hometown: Chumeichang - Pronouns: She/Her

The fastest player in the squad, Ling is also almost unquestionably the most in-form player in the squad. (Huang is also in with a shout.) She finished the season red-hot for the Irish, scoring 8 goals in as many games. An eternally patient poacher, the 32-year-old is accustomed to long stretches of matches where she does not get a touch. That's good; in this setup she'll need to be.

TSE PENG CHU ⇨ #18 ⇨ ST ⇨ SHESHOU (NIX)

Race: Naixese - Hometown: Qiawutian - Pronouns: He/Him

Fresh off a putrid eighth-place finish last season, the last thing the Marksmen needed was to lose their captain. That's what happened, though: Tak Hing Jin is now a Farmer. But the main reason Sheshou felt they could sell Jin is the fact they secured the transfer of this 22-year-old. Always playing off the shoulder of the last defender, Chu is a perfect fit for Ren's tactical plans.

(23) Huang


(2) Z.B. Tan          (5) Dong            (11) Tsung
(22) Pao                                                                         (3) Tian


(14) Chang               (4) Yuan
(6) Yap                                                                     (8) Jin


(10) Ling

One brief glance at Naixi's new starting eleven will tell you we everything you need to know about Ren's tactical vision. Seven out of the eleven are either currently playing for - or a graduate of the youth academy of - Aierlanren or Chongjibo. That's right: Huang, Chang, and Yuan have never played in any colors other than pink and black, and Jin began his career at Chongjibo, while Ling and Yap are currently under contract with the Gold and White, and Dong was famously effective - both in defense and midfield - during Aierlanren's Zhen Li Jiang Cup-winning season. With the Irish imparting a philosophy of lockdown defense and rigid organization, and the Shockwaves a philosophy of short passing and recycling of possession, you can really clearly see what Ren is going for... defence and possession.

So what is this team's shape going to look like? On the surface, it would seem to be a straightforward wide 5-4-1. But don't judge a book by its cover. Yes, Huang will be an ordinary goalkeeper with minimal license to march ahead off his line, and Pao and Tian will be ordinary fullbacks, though they'll operate with a degree of permission to bomb forward while the Blues are in possession. Orthodox, too, will be the outside center halves Tan and Tsung, though it will fall within the pair's remit to play out from the back rather than get it launched to the center forward. The role played by Dong (the central defender), will be quite irregular. She'll withdraw behind Tan and Tsung while Naixi are out of possession, acting as the literal last line of defence, but in attack, she will drift forward into midfield and operate as a tempo-setter in the passing game. (Avid football tactics heads will recognize this as a libero role.) Up in midfield, it'll all look very familiar to fans of the Naixese champions. Chang will operate as a roaming playmaker, always ready to use her first touch as a primary weapon in transition. Yuan, meanwhile, will be less mobile, playing the part of a holding midfielder. Slightly ahead of the midfield duo and out by the touchlines will be the two wingers Yap and Jin. As is popular these days, they'll be inverted wingers, but the expectation will not be for them to go direct when on the ball... on the contrary, they will be called upon to look to recycle possession back to Dong, Chang, or Yuan. Circumstantially, Yap and Jin may look to zip through balls ahead for the striker, which qualifies them for the unusual descriptor of "wide advanced playmaker," but giving the ball away will be frowned upon. The Blues will, therefore, have five players packed into the middle of the park while in possession. Ren has even referred to this conglomerate as a "Midfield Pentagram," and with Dong at the base point, Chang and Yuan using the space created by the attacking full backs to move slightly wide, and Yap and Jin pushing together in the front, it will indeed resemble an upside-down pentagram. Finally, at center forward, we come to the great Chen Ling... yes... it had to be Chen Ling. One, she has been unstoppable for the final ten weeks of the League of the Two Sapphires season, and two, she's a simple and obvious fit for Ren's version of the striker... that is to say that her primary attributes are patience and pace. Her job will be to wait. Then wait some more. Then wait some more. Then (you're not gonna believe this) wait some more. If this system works, though, eventually frustrated defenders will overcommit, and Ling is utterly deadly when she gets in behind. Once she has a one-on-one with a goalkeeper, it's an automatic goal.

As elegant as this tactic might seem to be, though, a lot could go wrong. Huang's talents are flagrantly wasted in a system where he's told to sit back. Ren, after all, used him as more of a sweeper keeper last year with the Shockwaves. Dong, too, may struggle in her position; she did not exactly set the world alight while she was tasked with the role at her club Litala 93. Pao and Tian, as always, will need to cross the halfway line and stretch play while Naixi are on the ball, so that the "Midfield Pentagram" has space to work in, but that could leave the remaining two defenders vulnerable if possession is suddenly lost. Another potential danger could be a lack of bodies in the center of the park when Naixi are defending. Chang and Yuan will have a plethora of passing options when the Blues have the ball, but when defending, Dong, Yap, and Jin will all snap back to their positions as seen on the diagram above. Versus an opponent that intentionally packs the midfield, the lonely pair of Chang and Yuan might be in jeopardy, and neither are really known for their defending. Finally, as is the case in many defensive formations with a single striker, Ling has an awful lot to do completely on her own. Sage opposition center backs who stay back and refuse to take the bait should be able to contain her, her superlative form notwithstanding.

The style modifier below will never change during qualifying.

Naixi's style modifier will be -5.

Team Cassadaigua- World Cup 94

Coach- Chen Huikang (57)

The post Brittany Byers era has begun with the first international manager hired to coach the national team since Alexander Pappas led the team. Pappas only led the team to World Cup champions in the 50th and 51st editions, so while the expectations will not be to duplicate that right away, the nation is confident with him at the helm. In all of Cassadagan sports, he is only the second international manager to be taken on. The other was Maddie Polanco in baseball, who also ultimately led Cassadaigua to a title. Chen has experience with the national team of his homeland, Yuezhou, and his domestic record includes a successful stint with CSKA Quebec. With several key Cassadagan players also playing in Quebec, that was also seen as an asset. Chen likes an attacking style, and we have seen that so far.

Chen has managed in three tournaments since being named our manager. This is how they have gone:
Copa Rushmori 43: Won championship
RTC World Cup 19: Won championship
Eagles Cup 17: Lost in championship (did win the the Cup of Champions)

Assistant- Kimberly Carson (46) (Winchester City)

It may not have been easy for CASE to find an assistant to Chen, as some of the top domestic candidates for the position may have felt a little slighted that they did not get the head coaching job. Hannah Shanley, the longtime assistant to Brittany Byers, took her name out of the running right away, saying that she would only want the head job. Also, Jessica Tolson, another top candidate did similar. This leaves Carson, who was successful with the national team for multiple Cups and has since moved on and made Winchester City more of a title threat within the CSL. The defender will focus on that aspect of play to coincide with Chen's attacking mindset. She has been the assistant for the same three Cups under Chen to this point.

Starters in Green
Subs in Blue
Reserves in Red

Goalkeepers:
~~#20- Stacie Thornton (30) (New Lakeland Soccer Club)- Starter WC 92 & 93, CR 41 & 43, Sub WC 91, Reserve WC 90 & CR 40, Sub DBC 51~~
#40- Stacey Schalberg (25) (Grande Mountain)- Sub CR 43, Reserve CR 41
#30- Erica Knapp (23) (Concord Heights City)- Reserve WC 93, CR 43

Thornton was injured during MD6, and will not return for qualifying. Schalberg is now the starter.

Added to roster in MD7: GK: #45- Meghan Donnelly (21) (Rutland FC)- International Debut, to serve as the new #3 goalkeeper with Thornton out.

Goalkeeping is not a spot where one could expect to see a change in the starting lineup. The job belongs to Stacie Thornton, as she is definitively the best at her position within the Matriarchy. There are alot of foreign goalkeepers in key roles within the CSL, and that could be keeping the development of some others to becoming a headliner like Thornton. However, she is not a weakness, and comes off a great effort in the Copa Rushmori. She is also a very good tactical fit, because she is used to playing in a system with New Lakeland Soccer Club that prioritizes offensive tactics in a similar manner that the national team does. Schalberg is as much a clear #2 at this point as Thornton is a #1. In a perfect world, Cassadaigua would be able to get her in as a starter for a few qualifiers so she can get some more experience at this level, but the group draw will probably make every game matter. Knapp will be most useful during practice, or in the event of injuries.

Defenders:
#2- Madison Rutland (29) (Starksville Coastal)- Starter WC 91-93 , CR 40-43, DBC 51 & 52 (TEAM CAPTAIN)
#4- Tiffany Brown (24) (Starksville Coastal)- Starter CD 43, Sub WC 93 & CR 42
#3- Alyssa Marlin (24) (Winchester City)- Starter WC 93 &CR 43, Sub CR 42
#6- Rachel Becker (25) (New Lakeland SC)- Starter WC 93, CR 42 & 43, Sub WC 92, Reserve CR 41
#21- Hailey Meyer (27) (Kingston FC, Quebec)- Sub WC 92 & 93; CR 43, Starter DBC 52 & CR 42
#32- Michelle Lawson (22) (Winchester City)- Reserve CR 43
#41- Brianna Ward (31) (Victoriaville South End)- Starter WC 91-93, CR 40-42 & DBC 51, Sub CR 39 & 43
#31- Amber Hogan (27) (Brattleboro FC)- Sub WC 91, Starter WC 92, CR 40, 41 & DBC 52, Reserve DBC 51 & WC 93

There could have been some tough decisions for Chen in regards to his defensive group, but he made some minor adjustments with the group for the Copa Rushmori, and it paid off there with the title. Then, the same starting four went on to lead the team on a great run in the Eagles Cup, particularly impressing during the knockout stages. That clinched it, there would be no doubt that these four would start, and their average age is especially appealing. Madison Rutland will be the World Cup captain for the first time, but first wore the armband during the Copa Rushmori. Brianna Ward being knocked into the reserve role was a little unexpected, but Fillies fans can live with it. She was not enthused about having to give up her #4, though, but did it for the good of the team. Michelle Lawson is a punishing fullback, and will be brought in when that type of player will be especially useful. She is not careless, though. Among the starters, Becker is the most physical.

Midfielders:
#8- Krystal Sherwin (31) (Northern Union, Brenecia)- Starter WC 90-93, DBC 51, CR 39-43
#23- Kaitlin Millikan (24) (Concord Heights City)- Starter CR 43, Sub CR 42 & WC 93, Reserve WC 92
#24- Lauren Engle (19) (Montreal Koreana, Quebec)- Sub CR 43, Starter RTC 18
#25- Chrissy Engle (19) (Shirley Metros Ladies FC, Baker Park)- Sub CR 43, Starter RTC 18
#35- Marquis Miles (25) (Victoriaville City)- Sub WC 92 & CR 42, Reserve CR 41 & WC 93
#28- Rachel Wyman (19) (Montreal City, Quebec)- Sub CR 43, Starter RTC 18
#39- Jenna Stokley (24) (New Lakeland SC)- Starter WC 43, Sub WC 93, Reserve WC 92 & CR 42
#38- Emily Doran (30) (North Granby)- Sub WC 91, CR 40, 41 & DBC 51, Reserve CR 39, 42 & WC 92

Difficult decisions were made when it came to deciding on the midfielders. Let's start with Kaitlin Millikan, who was simply shown a ton since the last World Cup, and immediately became an adored player to Chen Huikang. It was rumored that Kaitlin and former manager Brittany Byers simply did not click, but that changed under Chen. Krystal Sherwin could have been a target for a demotion, but she is actually coming off an incredible Eagles Cup, so the hope is to continue to ride the momentum with her. The question as to whether or not the Engles were ready to start was often asked as a package, but one of them, Lauren, get the chance to start and her twin sister will get a chance to possibly be a substitute. Keep an eye on that! Marquis Miles started to become forgotten in a way, since he did not play in the Copa Rushmori (he was at the Tea Cup instead), but he will get a chance to shine here. Jenna Stokley being demoted to a reserve will surprise some, but others will wonder why she was even brought back. Nonetheless, this should be an improve group from the last World Cup. For now, Morgan Rosenblatt's #9 was not reissued, but it is not expected to be retired for her.

Forwards:
#43- Lexi McGregor (22) (Starksville United)- Starter CR 43, Sub WC 93, CR 42, Reserve WC 92
#29- Shannon Cunningham (21) (Alino, Chromatika)- Starter CR 43, Sub WC 93 & CR 42
#19- Chloe Anderson (27) (Montreal Koreana, Quebec)- Starter WC 92 & 93, CR 40-42 & DBC 51, Sub WC 90 & 91, CR 43
#26- Rachel Boldin (28) (Victoriaville South End)- Starter WC 92 & 93, CR 40-42& DBC 51, Sub WC 90 & 91
#16- Lacey Sherwood (22) (Rutland Dockside)- Starter CR 43, Reserve WC 93 & CR 42
#12- Carly Patterson (28) (Grande Mountain)- Starter WC 93, CR 42, & DBC 52, Sub WC 92, Reserve WC 91, CR 41
#27- Allyson Perry (27) (Winchester City)- Sub WC 92, CR 41, Starter DBC 52, Reserve WC 91, 93 & CR 42, 43

It really is amazing what Lexi McGregor has done in such a short period of time. She is a two-time CSL MVP, a RTC champion, and a Copa Rushmori champion. Not to bad for the player, who at 16 years of age, declared that she was the best player in all of Cassadaigua, and wasn't joking. She talks a real big game, but does back it up. After scoring a goal, she is known for celebrating with a backflip, or two. She is emotional, but has matured somewhat. Beside her is Shannon Cunningham, who is the opposite of Lexi when it comes to personality, but they prove that opposites can attract on the pitch, because they have developed incredible chemistry. This will be the first time either of them start in the World Cup, and we are excited to see it. They'll have Chloe Anderson beside them, who's a veteran now at the age of 27, and can provide good veteran leadership. Rachel Boldin has been bothered by injuries of late, but can still be expected to play a big role for this team. Lacey Sherwood being issued #16 (formerly #34), shows that CASE has decided not to retire Meghan Wolcott's number after all this time.

TEAM HISTORY
The South Pacific Cup: Runners-Up
Baptism of Fire: Third Place
World Cup:

This is Evinea's first ever time trying to enter the World Cup, as they are eager to get their shot at presenting themselves on the largest stage in the world. In the meantime, the Evinean team achieved third place in the 81st Baptism of Fire beating Manmeath 2-0, and the Midnight Suns managed to be the runners-up in the inaugural South Pacific Cup, narrowly losing to Dantopia 2-1.

TACTICS
Geared more towards a defensive style of play, Abena uses his self-created tactic called "Punch and Bunch" which is a defense-oriented strategy which combines collective defending with strong counterattacks and upward aggression when given the chance. From its usage so far, it has worked well on both the regional and international level of football for the team. Abena also uses a variety of other tactics, most of them being geared towards balanced defense.

(current through AOCAF 69)
WCQ Record--165 wins, 32 losses, 35 draws (90-15-11/home, 75-17-24/away)

KPB Ranking--25.65 (24th)
style--+2.3
Formation--3-4-1-2

In the “BP System” or the “BP Way” (neither of those should be considered as something used officially or unofficially—if you wanted to term it as such as something of your own IC creation, go for it) the 3-4-1-2 is more literal than the manner in which it's used RL.
A discussion I had with another user made me contemplate providing a bit more concrete info on just who plays where when you see my lineups/bench for individual matches.
Defense: the three backs play tight to one another when the ball is in the middle or defensive thirds—they should really be termed LCB/CCB/RCB. The outside pair will never be wider than diameter of the center circle. They both man-mark (unless there is an IC tactical reason they don't) and the centerback zonal marks (usually helping one of the other two). The CB is technically a fullback as they have more freedom to move forward with the ball at feet. In a pinch, an emergency situation as a sub, they could all play any of the three positions.
Midfield: there is a good deal of set responsibility among the four across midfield, but the one thing that is always a constant is the wings are the workhorses, they cover more distance than the other players. I've hinted at or flat out said in match reports in the past that left wing (and they are 99.9% of time always left footed) is THE talismanic position in The System, as right fullback is considered (in BP) as usually the weakest position in a flat back four.
The two central midfielders usually have a specific role, one as the playmaker, the distributor and the other as the defensive, hard tackler, disruptor, ball winner.
The preferred position is listed first, but the ones that follow show how versatile that player is. For CM's the left/right designation is the stronger side for that player, but in theory almost anyone in midfield can play in the center of midfield.
Forward: Ah yes, the wild card element. In this case, the differentiation should be looked at from the perspective of another sport—basketball.
The three positions are almost adapted from the indoor game: the center forward, the target man, the number 9—the one who plays up front but facing away from the goal. Mostly it's men who hold down this role in the NT, although not always.
The striker—they want to be played into an area by a pass, or want room to get a touch before shooting. They face goal, but usually in or very close to the box.
The 'slot'--what a lot of people call the attacking midfielder or the CAM. This is a player that can dribble and create their own shot, or draw defenders and find others. There's a reason why this position can be played by a midfielder or a forward and the rationale usually depends on a chemistry between a pair or trio. West, Craig & Pryor will go down in history as the most prolific combo because the man developed a good rapport with the women who were club teammates.
In conclusion—BP should always be RP'd (of course at your discretion, and I will always adapt to anyone who RP's first if something that's not necessarily canon is mentioned) as--

*fast, short passing
*high lines & pressing
*offside trap
*technically sound
*not easily intimidated
*willing to play anyone, anywhere

National Anthem--"Hear Our Voices Commonwealth"

Nickname--since the end of the 1960's the National Team has been known as "The Bees", a period when the team's uniforms consisted of alternating black and gold hoops.
Previous to that time and subsequently through periods in the 1980's and 90's, the team was usually referred to by the county's national animal, the Elks; the women's National Team were always 'Lady Elks' until the advent of mixed gender play, which was revived during the Jenna Raven Cup and there are still numerous mentions of Elks in the supporters song “We are the Gold & Black”, which currently has close to 175 stanzas.

Colors--Black & Gold (while they are just 2 of the 5 main colors on the flag of Baker Park--Blue, Red and White are the others--black & gold have been closely associated in the nation's consciousness as representative of the country since its founding.)

The contrasting fortunes of the Men's & Women's National Team on Captina Island during their most recent activity internationally pushed the officials at The Captina Company Football Agency to seek a different path which will be spearheaded by new NT boss Jonas Yarborough, who replaces Timiteo Greco; Yarborough's remit will be to oversee gender integration of the TCCFA squad that will make a second attempt at qualification for the World Cup.

The WNT showed a completely different style of play in the Tea Cup from how the men performed in Nyowani Kitara at the Copa Rushmori; scoring 27 times in the 15 fixtures played—they lost four 1-0 matches plus two losses to Valentine Z by 2-1 and 3-1 scores—against a variety of teams of different strengths and composition made the choice to dismiss Greco a logical step in the progression of Captina Island's standing in the sport.

The new boss will look to integrate 14 holdovers from the CR squad with 14 players from his Tea Cup group; he has worked with small groups in camps held in three different locations to get those from the same region familiar with one another in hopes of knitting together a truly island wide squad based on a system that will encourage more creativity and offensive output.

Brief informational summary
Captina Island is the southernmost nation in Rushmore, made up of 6.3 million people of which approximately 31% are ethnic Captini--the native Polynesian type peoples who occupied the island prior to discovery--and 42% Italini, descendants of the settlers who arrived after 1922, with about 20% identifying themselves as mixed. The remainder are of other ethnic backgrounds and nationalities.

Captina Island thrives in all aspects of life thanks to the rigorous discipline of “The Plan” (officially known as The Captina Island National Community Operation Master Plan [CINCOMP]) which organizes the priorities, agenda, and the day to day running of proper society within the Armed Republic.

All economic affairs are controlled by the five major privately owned corporations that operate under the provisions of The Plan, holding exclusive license to conduct the nationwide administration of the following areas:

Captina National Organization (CNO)--Defense/Health & Medical/Education
State Economic Corporation (SEC)--Retail/Banking/Transportation/Technology
Industrial & Manufacturing Alliance (IMA)--Production/Raw Materials/Wholesale
The Captina Company (TCC)--Social/Entertainment/Utilities
Brandstadter Corporation Authority (BCA)--Food/Agriculture/Construction

Any remaining areas that would be under the control of a constituted government are handled by The Burkett Group, which is owned in equal shares by the five main corporations and a public ownership scheme funded by a 50 crown (about NS$10) per week deduction from the wages of all citizens. TBG functions as a bureaucratic administrative body, coordinating inter-company affairs in addition to providing the personnel for things like police/fire protection, vital statistics record keeping, public spaces maintenance, and other public services.

TBG operates from the National Capital District of Big Flint which has a population of 84,000, while the other corporations each have their own headquarters city, although they have nationwide operations; within each major city, the 'affiliated' companies have satellite offices to handle the daily business.

Manager: Nathaniel Cox (45)

Former Manager of Ninhein United and Dustiez Bulls, Cox likes to control possession and focuses on incisive passes out to overlapping forwards.

The Jovannic utilises a 4-1-2-3 on paper.

During offensive transitions, the Jovannican structure looks more like a 3-2-2-3 or a 3-2-4-1, with Skvestky pushing upwards to join Feckhim Tee in the midfield and George Sim, Pasti and Jewr Clarkey forming a back three. Twater Harring acts similar to a Box to Box midfielder and Huli Maringar often acts as a advanced playmaker, but may sometimes push further into a shadow striker. Juyt Dersa plays as a complete forward, but may also drop into more deep lying positions to link up play. Both wingers like to wander into more narrow positions, swinging inside to complement the lone striker.

This allows for a greater midfield presence while also maintaining multiple avenues for attack, but is susceptible through fast breaks from the left.
