DEMOCRATIC REPUBLIC OF ABANHFLEFT
NATIONAL ASSOCIATION FOOTBALL TEAM - WOMEN'S


This is the twenty-sixth time that Abanhfleft will participate in the World Cup qualifiers, and the thirteenth time that the women's team have represented the Democratic Republic on their own. The women's team is fresh from winning the Jenna Raven Cup (the current name and incarnation of the Women's World Cup), and hopes are high that they will be able to carry that momentum forward, but they will have to do it without long-time manager Kate Bernanos at the helm. Is it finally going to happen or not?

BASIC INFORMATION
Name of nation: Democratic Republic of Abanhfleft
Demonym: Fleftic
Team colors: White (home), red and blue (away)
Style modifier: +2.5
Formation: 4-2-3-1 (This will be standard unless I change it through RPs)
Head coach: Gennady Chernenko (60 y/o, Pridnestrovia)

STARTERS
GK: Inocencia PENDERGRAFT 29 y/o, Ogovlich Medusas Image
Inocencia (or Ina for short because let's face it, Ina is much easier to say that Inocencia) is a good goalkeeper by most metrics. However, poor passing skills and the fact that her pace is pretty unsatisfactory in an era of sweepers pretty much kept her rooted to her current club in the second tier of the Fleftic Women's Premier League. She is pretty much expected to stick to staying inside her box as much as possible as she doesn't want her lack of pace to be exposed even more than it already is.

RB: Ilda FAUSTI 29 y/o, Uthilmir United Image
Ilda Fausti is, for all intents and purposes, a very good defender. She has good pace and can quickly recover from a situation where she might get caught out, and her stamina is in such an excellent state that she can cover the entire right flank for the entirety of the ninety minutes and still have enough to spare. The only thing she can't really do is score a goal, and that's not really part of the description of being a fullback, is it?

RCB: Rose BANE 30 y/o, Uthilmir United Image
Rose is perhaps the only member of the defense in that under-18 team in the 13th Under-18 World Cup who managed to escape that collapse with her reputation still fairly intact. Her reward for this is gaining a starting spot in the women's national team for the Jenna Raven/Women's World Cup. Rose generally has a good defensive head on her but is still often overcome by the rashness of youth. Age and experience has finally blunted her eagerness, but there are a few moments here and there where she will still go all in on that slide tackle.

LCB: Margo KAHN 30 y/o, Wanda Island Wanderers Women Image
On the surface, Margo looks like she's a very good defender, and to her credit, she is. It's just that the other parts of her game are very lacking, to say the least. She can't pass to her fellow center back or the goalkeeper to save her life, and once an opposing player gets past her, that's pretty much the end of Margo's defensive involvement. However, Margo is actually good in the air, and that makes her a threat in set pieces no matter who's taking them, her team or the opponent.

LB: Ashley JAXSON 28 y/o, Xemlice Rovers Ladies Image
There isn't a lot that makes Ashley stand out on the pitch. She's a good defender with average stamina and adequate pace, meaning that she can patrol the left flank to her heart's content so long as she isn't exerting herself. She can even send in the occasional cross, but don't expect it to do anything but hit the first defender trying to block it, and even then, Ashley understands that that isn't really part of her job description. But Ashley does stand out on the pitch literally as the only player six feet high or above currently representing the Lady Revolutionaries in this tournament.

RM: Whitney ZILAHI 28 y/o, Sarvusdalamoive Ladies Image
Another player whose looks (or more accurately, what her skills look like) are very much deceiving. Whitney looks like a box-to-box midfielder to the casual observer, and it would look like she has the skills to do the job. Her stamina and pace are both excellent for the job of going back and forth between the boxes, and her passing is so formidable that she can pretty much pass the ball wherever she wants. However, all of this hides the fact that she is actually a poor defender. Then again, with an enforcer like Tatiana Tos by her side, does Whitney really need to be that good at defending?

LM: Tatiana TOS 33 y/o, Xemlice Rovers Ladies Image, captain
Every team worth its salt needs an enforcer in the midfield, and Tatiana Tos is that enforcer. Tatiana was born in the Fhulghamous Peninsula but chose to represent Abanhfleft instead because the Fhulghamous' women's football program is simply woeful, to say the least. This will surely make her want to prove that she truly deserves the call-up to the senior Fleftic team. Five years on and she's still trying to prove herself as she's always been on the outside looking in. Maybe this time, she will finally prove herself to the SFA.

RW: Mae WILBANKS 30 y/o, Riuwiee United Women Image
Mae might just be the winger that Abanhfleft has been looking for all of these years. She has an engine that can make her go up and down the flanks for as long as she needs to, and she has those pinpoint-accurate crosses in her arsenal enabling her to find teammates in the middle of a sea of defenders. She can even get back and defend in the event of a counterattack; she's just that fast. But Mae is really at her best going down the wings and being a threat from the sides, and if she can't cross then she can just go for goal herself.

CAM: Josefine VITAGLIANO 29 y/o, Wanda Island Wanderers Women Image
Another bright spot in that disastrous DBC 48 campaign. Josefine would prefer to be able to become a second striker or a false 9 drifting in and out of pockets of space, and while she is still unable to do that at the moment due to tactics, at least being a central attacking midfielder puts her in a somewhat similar position. Josefine will just have to come from deeper from the field than she would like.

LW: Lily NATIVIDAD 31 y/o, Wanda Island Wanderers Women Image
Lily is of a similar mold to Mae Wilbanks, a creative and effective winger with the speed to come back and serve in defense if needed, but just like Mae, Lily is best utilized as an out-and-out winger who sends crosses into the box and provides a goalscoring threat for the opposition's defense to worry about. However, the one downside to Lily's game is that her stamina sucks. After playing sixty minutes, she just falls off a cliff and is barely even a player. But apart from that, she is no doubt a threat on the pitch.

ST: Hiroko KELLERMAN 31 y/o, Rosenpfelblatz City Women Image, vice-captain
Kellerman won the Golden Boot in the Fleftic Premier Development League 1 for Rosen City Women with a 23-goal haul in the 2028-29 season, earning her a promotion up to the senior women's team where she continued her goalscoring form with 21 goals for 2029-30, making her the highest goalscorer for the Citizens that season. She earned a call-up to the under-21 team for the 48th Di Bradini Cup, where she was one of the few bright spots in an otherwise disastrous campaign which once again convinced the SFA to boycott the Di Bradini Cup yet again. The boycott didn't last for long, but Hiroko herself has become a mainstay in the Fleftic women's team during that time, and she will continue leading the line in the Jenna Raven Cup.

Saint-Jean-Jacques-sur-Mer is a city state of 78 square kilometers located in Anaia and founded in lhe 18th century by Jean-Jacques Le Boucanier (John James The Buccaneer), a pirate of unknown North or Central Calanian origin who decided to retire from piracy and found his own nation south of his country of origin. Saint-Jean-Jacques-sur-Mer has emerged in the 20th century as a merchant city state which favors capitalism.The current ruler of Saint-Jean-Jacques-sur-Mer is Prince Pierre-Alexandre 1er de Saint-Jean-Jacques-sur-Mer, a direct descendant of Jean-Jacques Le Boucanier. Elections are outlawed in Saint-Jean-Jacques-sur-Mer. The national animal is the tapir, which you can see wandering in our streets.

Burnham-on-Stove

Burnham-on-Stove is a city state of 54 square kilometers located in Anaia. It used to be a district whitin Saint-Jean-Jacques-sur-Mer and it's named after William Robert Burnham, a pirate and friend of Jean-Jacques Le Boucannier. In september 1923, several communist districts of Saint-Jean-Jacques-sur-Mer, mostly of English origin, declared their independence and formed the new nation of Burnham-on-Stove. The Burnhamese Communist Party is the only authorized party in Burnham-on-Stove. The national animal is also the Tapir.

Saint-Jean-Jacques et Burnham-on-Stove

in 2023, 100 years after the independence of Burnham-on-Stove, the two nations decided to form a new sporting alliance to have stronger national teams and domestic leagues.

Elections are outlawed in Saint-Jean-Jacques-sur-Mer. The national animal is the tapir, which you can see wandering in our streets. It's also our team nickname.

Saint-Jean-Jacques-sur-Mer is known for it's local gastronomy based on tapir meat. Meals like tapir burgers, tapir parmentier (cottage pie), spaghetti with tapir meatballs and tapir blanquette are very popular. The nation is also known for being a large producer of cheese. The city, with 775 878 inhabitants, is known for it's many restaurants, pubs and night clubs. There is many hotels whitin Saint-Jean-Jacques-sur-Mer which can accomodate players, coaches, journalists and fans! Saint-Jean-Jacques-sur-Mer also have two privately owned beaches. These two are among the most beautiful South Calanian beaches!

If your match is scheduled in Saint-Jean-Jacques-sur-Mer, you will land at the Aéroport national Prince Pierre-Alexandre 1er de Saint-Jean-Jacques-sur-Mer located between 10-20 minutes from the stadium and our hotels.

Burnham-on-Stove is a city state of 54 square kilometers located on the other side of the Stove river and is named after William Robert Burnham, the 2nd in command on Jean-Jacques Le Boucanier's ship. Burnham-on-Stove seceded from Saint-Jean-Jacques-sur-Mer in 1923 and became a communist leader in Anaia since then. The current leader is General Secretary Braelynn McIlwain and the only authorised party is the Burnhamese Communist Party.

Tapir meat is banned in Burnham-on-Stove and fast foods are more popular than upscale restaurants. You can find typical communist buildings in Burnham-on-Stove, which include hotels. There is two public and nationalised beaches which are among the most beautiful South Calanian beaches!

If your match is scheduled in Burnham-on-Stove, you will land at the Aéroport national Prince Pierre-Alexandre 1er de Saint-Jean-Jacques-sur-Mer located in Saint-Jean-Jacques-sur-Mer an hour drive away from downtown Burnham-On-Stove where most hotels are located. Your stadium is located in West Burnham, which is 15 minutes drive from downtown Burnham.

Odlegla Ziemia and Shanzhou are two independent nations located north of Saint-Jean-Jacques et Burnham-on-Stove and southwest of Krytenia. Odlegla Ziemia was founded by Polish explorers and is a scandinavian liberal paradise while Shanzhou (founded by chinese explorers) is a psychotic dictatorship. If your match is scheduled in either one of these nations, you will land at Port Lotniczy Ostrow Krolewski. Stadion Azteca in Ostrow Krolewski and your hotel are located 5-10 minutes away from the airport. If your match is in Shanzhou, it's a 2 hours drive south of Ostrow Krolewski on a coastal highway or 1 and a half hour by train.

Nova Calanian Aztec Confederacy is a large nation mostly located inland with small towns and large distance between towns. It's also the least developped Nova Calanian nation with dirt roads. Cars are uncommon. Rich people take the train to go from a city to another. You can also ride horses or a stagecoach. If your scheduled to play in Xicohtzinco, it's a 5 hours train ride from the Ostrow Krolewski (Odlegla Ziemia) Airport or 4 hours and a half from Saint-Jean-Jacques-sur-Mer. There is just 1 hotel in Xicohtzinco, a two-stars hostel.

Saint-Jean-Jacques-sur-Mer and Burnham-on-Stove has a tropical rainforest climate (Köppen classification of Af). We have high mean annual temperatures, small temperature ranges and rain that falls throughout the year. A tropical rainforest climate is typically hot, very humid, and wet. Average high range from 28 °C to 32 °C and average low is 24 °C all year long. Between august to november we have between 100 and 175 mm of rainfall. 250 mm of rainfall in january and february. Then 180-200 mm in march and april and finally over than 250 mm of rainfall in april to july with a peak of 350 mm of rainfall in may and june.

The climate is relatively the same in Odlegla Ziemia and Shanzhou, except that it rains much less often.

However, Xicohtzinco, being far away inland, has a semi-arid climate with very few precipitations. It's also much more hotter.

Fates change quicky in the realm of international football, and many of the players on Zanetti's World Cup 96 roster can recall vividly a time when they were upstarts who downed better-established teams en route to their first silverware and World Cup qualification. Now, with an embarrassing loss to Zenic in the Copa Rushmori 45 semifinals, the Maçaricas find themselves an established team on the business end of an upset. AJ Zanetti, once thought to be a shot in the arm to a flagging program, now takes on the role of the old guard manager under fire for continued uninspiring results while his boss, football commissioner and one-time premier hopeful Sonia Vargas, finds herself uncomfortably representing the establishment as the masses call out for blood.

Yet all is not lost; this is still an elite squad, semifinalists in the last Copa Rushmori, and anything short of World Cup qualification and a strong showing in the group stage would be a step down from this level. Ambrosio Gomez, still spry, starts for mid-table Olympic Thessia in the Mytanijan Prventsvo, and either of Leitao or Sapeteiro, both plying their trade in the elite Tikariotian Premier League, is prepared to back him up if he has an off day. Tobias may be the worst football international named M'bah-Pinho, after his brother, Quebec international Oberon, but he is by far the team's best centerback. Adalberto Furtado, who plays Challengers' Cup football with Pesfield Trees of Sylestone, figures to start opposite Tobias, with young Duarte Araujo expected to provide cover for both down the stretch.

At fullback, Amilcar Branco will retain the armband, though Cleto Silveira remains on the roster as one of the last remaining holdouts from the original Macaricas roster. He may have lost a step since turning thirty, but his footwork and field vision have never been better, allowing him to burn unsuspecting midfielders in support of the team's glut of talented strikers. Heitor "Bandicoot" Soares is a more conventional, stay-at-home fullback but has grown immensely in his role in Quebec, while Marcelinho Costa is as serviceable a backup as ever and will likely see starter minutes.

Rolando Florencio's star continues to rise in the midfield as a CAM alongside the more defensive-oriented talents of Emmanuel Bastos and Miguel Gontijo. AJ Zanetti has several pieces to play with in the midfield should he choose to experiment, not least young Pedro Beltrao. Up front, this may be the first tournament in recent memory where "Os Dos Vascos" don't play a collective role, as Anselmo Santos looks to figure more prominently in the offensive scheme alongside Quebec-based superstar Pio Mendonca.

Wojtek Wechsler, a dynamic forward, possesses the ability to excel on either flank or in the middle of the field. Despite being right-footed, he exhibits remarkable proficiency with both feet. Known for his lightning speed, he is one of the quickest footballers globally, whether in possession of the ball or not. Additionally, he has his exceptional passing skills and astute vision, and he excels at locating teammates in open spaces with his precise deliveries. With a penchant for controlling the game's rhythm, Weschler truly embodies the role of a playmaker.

Dietfried Sommer: An exceptionally GK, has the Daharan record for 17 Straight Shutouts.
Strengths Long passing (Strong) - Weaknesses Catching crosses (Weak)
Main Style of Play: Comes off his line often

Adrián Kistner's standout quality is his adaptability in the attacking zone, seamlessly transitioning between roles like center-forward, winger, or dropping deeper to facilitate play. This makes him a valuable asset to any team, including Lichthausen, providing tactical flexibility and effective contributions across the field. Kistner is a technically skilled player, showcasing exceptional ball control and dribbling prowess. With confidence, he fearlessly takes on defenders in one-on-one situations, leaving them behind. His adept ball control and agile footwork allow him to navigate through tight spaces effortlessly, challenging opposing defensive lines.

Recent history

The Starsian National Football Team is The 14 Stars's national squad in association soccer competitions for national associations across the entire multiverse world of soccer.
There have been alot of changes since their last appearance in the World Cup 91 qualifiers, the league was shortly abolished because it had imploded from financial issues.
With new teams and management the national team has gotten back on its feet and is currently led by Julian Saturn who achieved a series of good results first under Chromatik Rose Gabin and now took over the team making room for a new generation of players to place their mark on the team.

With years of abscence football has been losing popularity to the point it became dangerous, but now everything is back on track new players have been chosen and new names appear.
Former leading players have assumed leadership roles and are currently working hard to getting Starsian football back to its old form fierce and enjoyable as it always used to be.
With all those new faces the team lacks alot of experience and for many players their international experience is zero which will for the coming years put great pressure on those who have that experience like Kira Blade, Federico Zaratti, Christian Fourseasons and Joy Sol among others.

Now with world cup 96 on the doorstep many young players will make their debut on the international stage, it is hoped that our country will be able to keep up with the experienced nations.

Tactical Set-Up

The Starsian side is a very skilled team with a very high team chemistry and morale combining it with their quick paced game they are an opponent for all teams to watch out for due to their offensive style.
They play in a 4-3-3 which through the match can be changed to various other formations suiting the game that they play however they are an offensive team loving to have possesion of the ball.
It is know the Starsian team loves game control, taking the initiative and play their best, they are more willing to play a great game of soccer rather then simply getting a good result.

Left Corner Taker: Ozan Karazhan
Right Corner Taker: Ozan Karazhan
Penalties: Kira Blade
Direct FK Taker: Elizabeth Phillips
Indirect FK Taker: Layla Raharinaivo
Most likely to foul/be booked: Ozan Karazhan
Most likely to shoot: Kai Schulz
Most likely to score from close-range: Kai Schulz
Most likely to score from long-range: Elizabeth Phillips
Most likely to be fouled: Kira Blade
Most likely to attempt the spectacular: Layla Raharinaivo

Star players

Grace Edwards
One of the many players of the new generation is Grace Edwards a defender but in modern style who can both join the attack and defend very well with her strong endurance.
Edwards started as a youngster in the youth teams and worked her way up to the first team both in the league and internationally only being held back by Sarah Nolan for many years being the preferred choice.
However with Nolans retirement from the national team now the time has come for Edwards to show the world her great skill and perhaps even soon assume a leading role as one of the first Gen-3 players to make the starting line-up.



Federico Zaratti
One of the very few players on the defense with some experience, Federico is the son of Gianna Zaratti who also played for our team and was a very good midfielder back in the old days.
Sadly Federico has seen the rise and fall of Starsian football and now has to deal with an inexperienced team that has quality but not the right mentality and is in a negative mood to some degree because of the past chaos.
Federico is a very skillled defender and most likely the best one currently around, many fans have their hopes on him that he can build with the new players on a strong defense.


Kai Schulz
Part of a new generation of player Kai Schulz had to have alot of patience in his younger days, players like Holly Moonlight and Christian Fourseasons were still around and preferred.
However as they get older it is time for this young man to rise, he was the topscorer in the youth squad years ago and scores a majority of the goals for his team in the league aswell.
Kai has a great positional game and knows where to be at the right time, he hopes to become the new ace striker for the team for many years to come as he currently is in the best form hes ever been in.
There is no doubt that Schulz is an inspiration to many young players watching right now, he is a role model for the new generation and is known to act like it aswell.



Kira Blade
Kira is a player that earns her spot here, there is no name on the team that can replace her among notable players.
Kira has the skill, the name, the experience and most importantly Kira has a very kind personality which she uses to elevate any team shes in to heights they never imagined to be possible.
In an earlier interview Kira has said she is planning on many more years and to also lead this new generation of players after her into the right way until they are able to take over.
Marcus Blade is her father and the president of the Starsian Football Association, people who believe shes mentioned because of her dad are very wrong.
Kira has won many titles and also awards on her name for best player and it even goes so far that she's been crowned the best player of the entire decade a decade which even Flare who is now retired was active in, Kira is the only player who played with the old veterans.

Assistant Coach: Xolani Solomon


After a CAFA Cup campaign which saw a victory against Krytenia as the highlight, Vilwandia opt for a familiar enough lineup. The main difference comes in defence, as Dunay du Toit and Bast Bronckhorst receive their first call-ups. Bronckhorst on the right acts as an attacking wing-back on the counter, and his stamina is hoped to carry the team on the counter. Dunay Du Toit had a more successful season than the regular number one, though Ade Petersen's replacement as starting goalkeeper is sure to bring some controversy. Frederich Katz makes a starting role after his heroics in both the league and that famous first qualifier win against Ethane in Dreport two years ago. Other highlights from the last qualifying run include draw against then-defending champions Banija, and a 1-0 home victory against Indusse.

Vilwandian football prioritises pace and stamina, though has developed into a more counterattacking style recently to try and stick up to bigger opponents. The team will try and soak up as much pressure as possible, before darting up the pitch once their opponents have their guard down.

The Home Stadium - Stadium of the Nations, Eteksiville (41,000 Capacity)
Situated near the outskirts of the Vilwandian capital, the Stadium of the Nations is Vilwandia's biggest stadium. One main feature of the ground is the stadium acoustics, which was developed by the nation's best engineers to amplify the noise around the ground, making for an intimidating atmosphere for any opponent.
Common stadium foods in Vilwandia include the locally named "sokkerwors", a spiced beef sausage traditionally served in a spiral and in a soft wheat bread bun, and beer from nearby Uthando. Vilwandian fans are very passionate, though most are able to be cordial with fans of other teams, especially in international competition.

Vilwandia as a whole has an attitude of absorbing the culture, and nowhere else in the country is this quite as evident as Eteksiville itself. Whilst the area surrounding the Stadium of Nations is still somewhat undeveloped, the city centre consists of modern architecture, having only been built roughly 20 years ago. The capital boasts many diverse shops and cafes from around Vilwandia and the multiverse, and the newly-built Foxchester Avenue is of particular note as it represents Vilwandia's place in Anaia itself. The head of state, the Indunankulu Anele, has been known to enjoy visiting Bellflower Square at the end of the avenue, though under some armed guard.

If nature and history are more your thing, then Eteksiville station offers very cheap and fast travel to the nations (what Vilwandia calls its states) of Uthando to the east, with its vast undulating countryside and agriculture, and Impinga to the north with its dense forests and ruins in cities like Umoya (Vilwandia's third-biggest settlement) and Heiligeburg.

All dates given using the Vilwandian Calendar. It is (hopefully) the year 2027 in Vilwandia currently.

The Francazar National Team
Basic IC Info
Francazar is a nation of 52 million, located on a slab of land with varying climates. The Northern region is known for its fjords and snow-covered fields, with tundra engulfing the northern reaches of Francazarian territory. The southern region on the other hand, enjoys a far warmer climate, as the river deltas located at the bottom of Francazar's territorial reach contain islands where summer temperatures reach 80-90 degrees Fahrenheit. Association football has always been enjoyed as a national passion, with a 12-team premier division split into 2-6 team conferences, which are split up on the northern-southern lingual barriers within the nation. Francazar is a proud democracy, and those who visit are asked to respect local, provincial and federal laws, which are almost always within good reason due to Francazar's extensive trial & appellate court system.

GK Davor Jelušić- 20 y - NK Čelik Raduč
Davor Jelušić was born in the town of Raduč ( 190 cm, 87 kg). Raduč is a town known for its steel mine and steel production. But it is also known for the automotive industry, the production of railway compositions as well as aircraft parts. Davor Jelušić was a member of our U18 national team at the age of 15. He showed incredible reflexes and ability to read the game. "A goalkeeper who does not take risks is not a goalkeeper but a statue" were his words. That's exactly how we can describe it. A fantastic goalkeeper who takes risks. NK Čelik has always produced great goalkeepers. It was Jelušić who removed his mentor and idol Iveša from the goalkeeper position in national team and club.


LB Danijela Majić - 28 y - ŽNK Mladost Melarit
Danijela Majić, 185 cm and 70 kg, was born in Bistua Nuova. She comes from a sports family. Hers mother was a handball player, today she is a coach and hers father was a football player and today he coaches a football club in which Danijela , NK Bistua Nuova, is also. Bistua Nuova won the DR Srednjaci championship in the women's competition and currently has no relevant opponent in the league. Danijela is adorned with great technique and speed, she often takes corners but also uses hers speed to penetrate to the attack.Last season Danijela signed to Mladost Melarit and won second place in the league.
She won bronze medal in World Women's Cup in Sarzonia.Four years older but also more experienced than the last WC when she performed. Danijela is an incredible player who is still a pillar of our defense.


CB Koren Usović - 20 y - NK Dinamo Katanija
Koren is one of the best and most talented players that Dinamo Katania has produced. Although it didn't seem like this player would break through so quickly. An incredibly intelligent player who excels in the jump, but for a defensive player he is technically very strong.He is 183 cm tall and weighs 77 kg. In his spare time, he likes to ski and is a frequent visitor to the snowboard slots.


CB Branko Mrzljak - 22 y - NK Mladost Melarit - Captain
Branko Mrzljak, 188 cm and 78 kg, an insurmountable pillar of defense. A very intelligent player with incredible agility and endurance. Strong and corpulent, they won duels in 92% of cases. He started playing football at the age of 10, before football he tried volleyball and tennis. He stayed in football and led his club NK Mladost Melarit to the second position in the league, but also to winning the cup. He was named the best young U22 football player in the league for last season, but also the best defensive player in the league. He have 42 appearance in main line up for the club. As a captain he have 29 appearance . Youngest captain in whole national league.


RB Zoran Mašić- 19 y - NK Archer Kula
Zoran Mašić, 183 cm and 70 kg, he was born in the town of Kula. Despite his club fighting not to drop out of the league, Zoran is one of the bright spots of the drowning club. Zoran was brilliant in his position and Archer Kula will probably be left without its best player. There is talk of negotiations with NK Dinamo Katanija.
Zoran improve his stamina and techniqe since last WC U18 appearance.


CDM Adalina Natković - 20y- NK Dinamo Katanija
An amazing player, fast and always in the right place. The accuracy in the passes is amazing and the technique is fantastic. Another one from the galaxy of young players who used to play WC U18. A young player who has a perfect overview of the game and often performs tasks both,in defense and in attack. Adalina playing for the country's national champion in women's competition, Dormatisi Blue Stars! Her game was very noticed and she got a call to the first team for a reason, displacing our legend in this position, Heong Min Ho.


LW Davida Zimmer - 28 y - ŽNK Dormatisi Blue Stars
Davida Zimmer , 176 cm and 66 kg, a fast football player who creates problems on the left wing. A great football player who is an unsolvable enigma in the league. She was named the best football player in that position and she deserved an invitation to the national team with great statistics. 22 goals in the season, 18 assists and an accuracy of 87%. The speed in the sprint is amazing, 80 meters ran in 10.24 seconds. It has an excellent and precise shot from the edge of 16 meters and it is the most dangerous. Last season she have signed to Blue Stars of Dormatisi and emidietly won women's Championship.
Davida won bronze medal with women’s national team on WC in Sarzonia.


RW Takanobu Tavano - 27 y- NK Dinamo Katanija
The best player in that position and probably the best player in the league ever. The ceiling is 177 cm high and weighs 67 kilograms. Probably a fast player on the right wing is simply unstoppable. Because of his speed and technique, two players run into him in defense and sometimes three. This creates a surplus on the field and is very dangerous there. With one move he is able to add the ball with incredible precision. Its market price is dizzying. In the cup against Lokomotiva Raduč, a club from the second league, Tavano scored an incredible 6 goals. With Dinamo Katanija he is the league champion and he scored 20 goals and gave 33 assists.
Tavano have 65 appearences for national team. He is in relationship with tennis star Tena Špiričić, they are one of the most poluar celebrity pair in country with huge army of fans.


CF Ante Tomljanović - 29 y - NK Čelik Raduč
Tomljanović is a unique player. He plays as an offensive midfielder, central foreward but can also play as a striker. A player who has almost everything. He is 182 cm tall, which is quite high for his position. But he is very agile, strong and technically great. He scored the most goals with his head from the corner, he can jump high and the defenders who should guard him are usually lower than him.


ST Isidor Matković - 28 y - NK Torpedo Melarit
Isidor Matković, 183 cm and 79 kg , the absolute star of the league. Torpedo Melarit entered the first from the second league and Matković is their best player, the club's top scorer, the top scorer of the second league and a player who has incredible skills. His sense of goal is the most pronounced of all the players in DR Srednjaci. Incredible shot, strong and technically refined. His turn and sprint are famous. It is difficult to keep him because he is constantly on the move and in addition to goals, he is often an assistant. He is the most talented player in the league and he will surely lead the battle with Tavano to be the best player in the league. Top scorer of national team on Baptism of Fire tournament, World Cup qualifikations and both IAC tournaments.


ST Li Peng - 29 y - NK Dinamo Katanija
Li Peng , 181 cm and 78 kg , the best striker of his club. He led NK Dinamo to win the championship. Last season he came in to Dinamo Katanija and singned three year contract. Li was best scorer of club and second scorer in whole league. With NK Mladost Melarit Li have won national cup and with Dinamo he have won championship.
Peng is second best scorrer for national team with 34 goals.

SQUADRA NAZIONALE DI JUVENCUS

Image


Information about Juvencus:
Capital: Pomena
Population: ~130,656,702 ethnic Juven, with an approximate total of 151,000,000 including immigrants.
Demonym: Juven
Country Code: JUE
Football Association: JFA(Juven Football Association)
Nicknames: Gli attaccanti(The attackers), La squadra(The team)
Football philosophy: At this point, to play football in Juvencus you need to understand that no matter who you are, pushing forward is the MOST essential core value you can bring in your game. Both strikers and defenders alike are equally likely to strike from any range at any time. Defense is not neglected, but is not as valued as being a scary goalscorer up front.
Official Record(WCC-Sanctioned only): 410 Games played(225 W - 95 D - 108 L)

La Squadra:


*BOLD & UNDERLINED INDICATES STARTER - Regional Identity/Ethnicity Indicated After Team

Goalkeepers:

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

GK:Juan Carlos Ungaro (Age 28) (U.S Scudelli) - Sudjuven

GK:Sócrates Wright (Age 26) (AC Pomena) - Pomenienze
GK:Bardhyl Imeri (Age 22) (Cordoba FC) - Illireshtje
GK:Tiago Gomes (Age 24) (AC Serone) - Poi

Juan Carlos Ungaro has grown to be a decisive goalkeeper when it matters most for his team. Time and time again his reflexes have been a quality to cherish both domestically with U.S Scudelli and internationally with la squadra and as such his attributes are to be cherished as a starter. Though not far behind in skill Sócrates Wright has been a rock for a defensively inconsistent yet constantly improving AC Pomena with a large quantity of saves made every single game which have proved to be title-worthy for the Uhlaner and that is what matters most in his chase for the starting lineup spot with gli attaccanti. His performances with la squadra have also been consistently top notch, but seeing as Ungaro has been more pivotal on the international level, competition is at an all-time high. Bardhyl Imeri is a young talent that has had a meteoric rise overnight with Cordoba FC, with a keen look on the game, mastering the sweeper keeper playstyle and fast reflexes, he is exactly what a modern goalkeeper should be like and has been giving both Wright and Ungaro a run for their money while he is visibly better than the following player. Tiago Gomes is not so much a surprise addition as expected, however he has a lot of work to prove his worth to be a starter. Seeing how the Madeiros era has promoted the constant rotation of lineups and especially goalkeepers, future managers might be expected to do the same.

Defenders:

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

CB:Carlo Callejon (Age 31) (Brattleboro FCImage) - Sudjuven/Pomenienze (Captain)
CB:Pau Puig (Age 28) (AS Aguajú) - Santmat
CB:Carlos Coste (Age 27) (Couno RangersImage) - Sudjuven/Pomenienze

CB:Giorgio Stafilidi (Age 25) (Real Club de YatesImage) - Pomenienze/Ampelone
CB:Ignacio Lopes (Age 23) (U.S Scudelli) - Poi/Sudjuven
CB:Lucia Agnelli (Age 27) (Victoriaville CityImage) - Pomenienze
CB:Urbà Pujals (Age 20) (FC ContonImage) - Santmat
CB:Carlos Salucci (Age 40) (Union OsceImage) - Sudjuven/Osci

The new management has decided to not make any changes in regards to the backline. With that said, Carlos Callejon has matured enough as a player and is showcasing his leadership to the younger players, while Puig and Coste are both at the peak of their powers. A generally youthful, yet more experienced than their age would suggest backline is going to be the team's core against any attacks once again. Although it is said that Gaetan will not take any chances and that players will have to be on top of their game if they want to maintain their spots in the national team.

Midfielders:

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

CDM:Giuseppe Conte (Age 29) (U.S Scudelli) - Pomenienze
CDM:Sara Ponce (Age 24) (AC Serone) - Pomenienze
RM:Simon Oliveira (Age 28) (Newark ArgyleImage) - Poi
LM:Chimo Quaranta (Age 29) (AC Pomena) - Pomenienze

CDM:Félix Sissoko (Age 28) (Jolbonopolis UnitedImage) - Scudellois
CDM:Raul Viejo (Age 20) (AC Pomena) - Sudjuven
CDM:Pierre-Didier Kouyaté (Age 31) (U.S Scudelli) - Scudellois/Banijan
CDM:Vitale Cino (Age 30) (Al Qurija FC) - Pomenienze

RM:Gustavo Alfonso (Age 21) (S.S.C Tipoli) - Sudjuven
RM:Paola Cernoia (Age 25) (Cordoba FC) - Pomenienze
RM:Mehmet Kurtuluş (Age 24) (Petro Mohammed FC) - Sudjuven
RM:Gioachino Sgro (Age 30) (Parakleion FirebirdsImage) - Pomenienze

LM:Joao Peres (Age 22) (U.S Remeno) - Poi
LM:Fantasia Bergoglio-Bertolini (Age 26) (Herona Calcio) - Pomenienze/Sudjuven
LM:Aboubakar Sidibe (Age 22) (U.S Scudelli) - Sudjuven
LM:Carla Acquati (Age 27) (FC Piluzzi) - Pomenienze

Midfield has remained mostly intact as well with the only exception being the officialisation of Sara Ponce as a starting player. Her quick feet and high football intellect have landed her a much deserved spot in the starting lineup. With a bright present and even brighter future ahead of her, she is going to be pivotal from now on as she was before. Simon Oliveira is going to be just as important for the team's attacks and forward carries come forward, approaching his peak, he has proven his worth for the national team. From new addition, Mehmet Kurtuluş and his performances for Petro Mohammed FC have given him a spot in la squadra for the first time ever.

Besides that, gli attaccanti find themselves in an interesting predicament. With this depth of squad, rotations will have to be more constant in the midfield due to the fact that most players are equal in terms of skill and what they offer to the table. With that said, la squadra will be relying much more on attacks orchistrated from the center of the midfield, with sideways attacks being of equal importance still.

Attackers:

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

CF:Giordano Limene (Age 32) (Garden CityImage) - Pomenienze
CF:Faustino Audiol (Age 23) (AC Serone) - Pomenienze/Santmat

The attack has no stable starting attacking trio, as proven time and time again by previous managers. However, seeing Carlo Bevilacqua earn his place in Chromatik has been a shimmering light of hope for a replacement once Garcia stop having an output as high as he does now. The additions of Gasol and Vives as well as Faustino Audiol have given a fully cohesive forward unit for la squadra with many combinations for Gael Gaetan to test in the upcoming world cup qualifiers games and quite possibly moving forward. This means that Ceferino Audiol and Julio Campana will not have to rely on competing against each other for a high scoring output, as players familiarised with each other on the club level can help alleviate this pressure off their shoulders.

Main formation:

Image
Starting lineup sheet with most likely substitutions, should you RP before me however you are free to choose whoever you want even if not mentioned in this picture. Remember, the lower your team's rank, the bigger the rotation unless your country's a rival of mine.

Gael Gaetan's version of the Pomenienze involves an equality in importance for attacks from both the center of the field as well as the sides. This means players are enticed to test out their luck more often than not and it promotes cooperation between players familiarised with each other. This has worked wonders for U.S Scudelli, who have gone on deep international club runs as well as having the highest scoring output in the Campionato.

The formation is the typical 3-4-3 marriage ring formation. 3 center backs form the core of the backline, while the two center center backs closer to the sides can have a sort of free role to move to the side to defend but also move up to the midfield to orchistrate any attacks. To join them are 2 of the central defensive midfielders, who tend to hold back when it comes to defence and start position but move up usually with through-balls and crosses to the attackers or wingers. The side midfielders act as secondary wingers, meaning they have the exact same role at a slower intensity, with crosses to the main strikers or long-shots being their strong suit, they are usually the fastest players in the team. The difference between them and the wingers is that wingers play more forward because they usually possess better technicality with the ball on their feet, meaning they are swift dribblers and are a bit more clinical in front of the net, other than that, they help the striker in the first line of offense and defence of the high-line. Lastly, the striker is the main scorer, usually being fed with crosses and through-balls by the rest of the team, usually with a strong shooting ability and headers being their main source of scoring. This doesn't mean wingers or side midfielders do not get a fair share of their slice, however.


When it comes to penalties, the player who earns it takes it. When it comes to long-range free kicks, a midfielder will take it, while short-range free kicks are to be kicked by any of the wingers.

Stadiums:

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

Image

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

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

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


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

Image

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

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


Il Scudelliano, Scudelli(Capacity: 55,000)

Image

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

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


Stadio Electrico, Aguajú(Capacity: 34,000)

Image

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

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


Stade Colonial, Pomena(Capacity: 19,000)

Image

Stade Colonial is perhaps owned by the most misleading club in all of Juvencus, Union Pomena. Located in the most staunchly Panjuvenist and colonialist quartiere di Fonseca in Pomena with a wonderful view of the Princess Daniella IV hill and is specifically designed in the way portals are meant to be designed around Juvencus. As a stadium it has a peculiar atmosphere, one may initially feel they are entering an elegant stadium in a royal area before the chants start becoming more and more aggressive and daunting. Expect flares and smoke.

It is accessible by car, bus and tram line the tram line 7 that traverses the entire coastline. Stops at Ernesto Munoa Square Station(which also serves a metro station) and Cuccitini Station are also viable options.


My opponent, if they RP first, may do the following:
Choose my goalscorers: Yes but please, for the love of god, if your team is low-ranking, new or whatever try NOT using most of my starting lineup players and instead using my depth, unless it's a knockout game. Even if your team is high-ranking, still try to use a couple of my substitutes thanks. AKA what I am saying here is, be reasonable and realistic.
Godmod scoring events: No
RP injuries to my players: Yes, but only I determine severity
Godmod injuries to my players: No
Hand out yellow cards to my players: Yes, 3 per game and notify me in TGs or discord for which players you carded
Hand out red cards to my players: Yes, 1 per game and notify me in TGs or discord for which players you carded
Godmod other events: Depends on severity, TG me or message me through discord for more
Style modifier: +5

Biggest win: 5-0 vs Sawenia (BOF 83 group stage)

Most capped player(s): Braian Rico, Martín Kuchler and Alvaro Biaggi (9)
Top goalscorer(s): Alvaro Biaggi (3)

The basic information...
that I didn't totally copy and paste from the BOF roster

To start off, the Republic of Tero al Disco is a democratic republic in the southern hemisphere of the region of Hive, its capital being the port city of Tero al Disco Capital. It consists of a total of eleven provinces, and its most important cities include Capital, Inticuna, Caamaño, Salto, Moncloa, Villa San Miguel, and others. Although, the country is centered around the capital. This is reflected in a number of its aspects, including football, where the "national league" was played only with teams from the capital for nearly a hundred seasons, before finally federalising in season 1992. Since then, there have been exactly zero teams outside the Capital and its surrounding that have lifted the title, and all of the top clubs are from that area.

Anyway, this is a landmark season for sports in Tero al Disco in general. For the first time, national teams and clubs will be able to play against opposition from other countries in the multiverse (for example, in the Baptism of Fire and World Cup, but also in IFCF competitions and the Handball World Cup that is currently being played in Strayaroos.) In the case of football, the Terense football association (Asociación Terense del Fútbol, or ATF) decided to send the national team and the clubs into international competitions seeing as the level of quality was decaying rapidly, which led to less public interest in the sport. So there you have it...the national team.


After winning a bronze medal in the 83rd Baptism of Fire in Tikariot, the team will only be looking to get more experience in the World Cup qualifiers, alongside trying to win the most points they can under manager Alfredo Félix (well, for him "winning the matches against the smaller teams and trying not to get humilliated by the big teams is the best way to gain that experience."). The team were happy to beat Ardsk in the 3rd place playoff after the disaster that was the semifinals, when in the "Battle of Paladon Park" against Hakushiya, where the team ended with 7 players. But most importantly, they lost the chance to get into the final by a score of 1-0. That understandably made the countrymen in general angry. The game against Ardsk was a nice consolation, but yeah...the 3rd place playoff was considered a bit useless by the team, and the fans. It isn't the Olympics. A bronze medal isn't a reward, not in a competition at this level, or so they thought. It was a nice start. And that sums up the BOF experience.

The staff
Manager: Alfredo Félix (56 years old)
Preferred tactic: 4-3-1-2
Secondary tactic: 5-4-1
Style: -3,5
Assistant manager: José Coronetti (37 years old)

The Gimnasia y Bala manager's (who I forgot to make him stop coaching Gimnasia and Tero simultaneously, so he'll stay in both as a nice easter egg, or something) style of football is mainly a defensive, slow style of play. On their own, the defense are a bit renowned for the fact that, when they lose the ball, they try to stop the opponent in any way possible (including two-footers and other ways of challenging tackles). Players like Kunz, Kuchler, Hirsch or Clotieri have the ability to somehow end up touching the ball first after said tackles, so they end up not getting the foul.

As any good defensive side, one of the main ways that this team scores, and especially as a minor side, is going on the counter. Félix also likes his players pressing the opposition. It's not exactly a very high tempo of pressing, but it's considerable anyway. And also as a good defensive said, their football usually involves wasting time and riling up the other team, especially when they're leading against a very big team, then they start to do it the length of the game.

Personally, as he was seeing that "most" international teams put much emphasis on the attack, he's decided to make his team play even more defensively.

THE STADIUMS FOR THE QUALIFIERS

The Tricolor plays mainly in the Estadio de la República, a 64.400 capacity stadium in the capital. Even though, as part of federalisation of football, the team also plays some matches in Caamaño's Estadio Candelario Gómez (capacity 33.151), Inticuna's Estadio Marcelo Sassari (capacity 20.700), and the Moncloa's Estadio Municipal (capacity 21.550). Three games will be played in Tero Capital, and one each in Caamaño, Inticuna and Moncloa.
Estadio de la República, Capital
(home to all teams in Tero Capital and historic home of the national team)

Image

República was built during ATF season 1962 with the purpose to create a definitive and modern home for the national team (which back then used of using the top clubs' stadiums, which averaged a capacity of 25.000-30.000 people, and were considered outdated for international fans), and also to host regional games' events (records of which have been lost to time). Since then, it has been transformed into the cathedral of Terense football that it is now. It hosts the national cup's final, the Copa de la República, named after the stadium itself; and many teams choose to host their games there. It originally featued a capacity of 74.600 due to having common benches in the seated areas, that were later replaced by individual seats. It features a fully terraced stand for the home fans, as the three others have terraces at the bottom and are all-seated at the top. It's about the only stadium in Tero al Disco to actually be fit for international standards.
Allocated games
MD1: vs Saltidia

MD14: vs Cabo Azure


Estadio Mundialista del Sur "Candelario Gómez", Caamaño
(home to all teams in Caamaño, mainly Sportivo Caamaño)

Image

The "Estadio Mundialista", as it's commonly called as, was built by a wealthy Caamaño businessman to try and host NT games, during ATF season 1933. Despite being bigger than the Capital club stadiums in which matches were traditionally played (with a capacity of 37.735 standing fans), the ATF gave more preferrence to the Capital teams, and especially with República being built, the Mundialista del Sur only hosted a few games for decades. It features three fully terraced stands and one fully seated stand.
Allocated games
MD9: vs Saterun


Estadio Marcelo Sassari, Inticuna
(home to all teams in Inticuna)

Image

Built by the city council of Inticuna, with more or less the same reason as the Estadio Mundialista, in more or less the 1920s, unfortunately this one has never hosted NT games. This was until the ATF arbitrarily decided to make them do it as part of that federalisation program. Why didn't they bother? Either the same reason as the Caamaño stadium or we don't know. At least here, the city council have attempted to make some renovations for international fans that aren't accustomed to the match-going experience here in Tero al Disco.
Allocated games
MD3: vs Sannyamathland


Estadio Municipal, Moncloa
(home to the top two teams in Moncloa: Moncloa (duh) and Laureles)

Image

The Estadio Municipal, as it's name says (the municipal stadium), was also built, owned and operated by another city council. This time it's Moncloa's, a city located inside the greater Capital area, an hour away from the capital itself. It was another built to host international matches in the ATF decade of the 1950s, with an original capacity of 29.000. Gradually, some of the terraces were replaced by seats, which had been criticised by match-going fans, since 99,99% of the games until now were domestic games; it has not hosted one single international match, until now, when it will host Tero al Disco-Aphrilia (which you can see below this paragraph)

Dominion of Oberour Ar Moro
National Football Team

Image
World Cup 96 Player Pool


Basic Information
Nation: Dominion of Oberour Ar Moro
Denonym: Oberours
Region: Rushmore
Team Nickname: Dragoons
Association: Ministry of Culture Football Management Committee (FMC)
Trigramme: OAM

Staff
Previous National Team Manager Tanguy de Montfort has been promoted to Technical Director for the entire FMC. In this role he oversees every part and step of the national team set-up, and is inarguably the most important man in Oberour footballing outside the FMC Chair, and Chairman Millant was appointed to the FMC from the Ministry for Agriculture Sorghum Farming Committee.

Football Management Committee Chairman: Yves-Jean-Pierre Millant, age 60
Technical Director: Tanguy de Montfort, age 51
Director of Football Operations: Deniel de Coulombes, age 64
Director of Football Development: Ewan Auneeur de Toiles, age 74

Andreit Jugleeur has managed in Quebec and Shingoryeo and in Oberour Ar Moro as an assistant and manager. But most notable was his time as interim manager for the National Team during Copa Rushmori 31. While his 0-2-1 record was not numberically impressive and he was heavily criticized at the time, his work in the domestic game and his tactical ability did much to redeem him. Ruran Sueur returns as an assistant manager, and former Dragoon Captain Geoffroy Dlajoenie deyt Fijac joins the National Team from de la Charite.

Manager: Andreit Jugleeur, age 59
Assistant Manager: Ruran Sueur, age 48
Assistant Manager: Geoffroy Dlajoenie deyt Fijac, age 39

The Football Management Committe unveiled an expanded staff, with more coaches and specialists to assist the National Team. The staff is made up of many graduates from the Tourbillon Forest Football Training Center. Of note is Eneour Pique-Pain, a former national team player now serving as an Attacking Coach.

Attacking Coach: Jaoua de Chartres, age 55
Attacking Coach: Eneour Pique-Pain, age 40
Defending Coach: Charlou de Saint-Vigorocus, age 36
Goalkeeping Coach: Gerard Brehonet, age 44
Setpieces Coach: Lunen Margas, age 42
Fitness Coach: Melaine Haultcouppes, age 36
Performance Analyist: Gael de la Noue, age 31
Physio: Erlé Thereson, age 57
Head Scout: Gobrien le Peseeur du Pois, age 53
Scout: Gobrien Destatte, age 46
Scout: Konan Cozic, age 30

Players

Understanding the Pool

The players numbered 1-11 would be considered the starting 11 if the cup started today. The players 12-24 would be direct backups, along with three additional players. Every player in the pool is competing for one of 26 roster spots throughout qualification. When the team qualifies for the World Cup (or the Cup of Harmony, should they fall short) the pool will be cut down, and the numbers will be reassigned to the final squad. Throughout qualifying, starting rosters and the bench at each game will feature a different mix of players from the pool to determine the final roster.

Goalkeepers

Oberour goalkeepers are hyper-cautious, never straying from the mouth of the goal and striving to grab any ball shot their way. The goalkeeper wants to then hold the ball and reset the attack, preferably gently rolling the ball out to a sweeper who can then run the attack.

1 GK Dounerth Chateaubriand, age 28 (Cyrene Bay)
12 GK Brivel des Aloz, age 25 (Myrrh-Streamer)
24 GK Seguinius Chaperonnier, age 27 (Estipen United)
35 GK Likael Qualandreeur, age 28 (Meridian)
46 GK Kaourig Bon-Vallet, age 25 (de la Charite)
57 GK Pius Lamy, age 34 (Hibernus)

Defenders

Defender is the loneliest job in Oberour football. They get little respect for playing well, and all the blame when things go wrong. If things go wrong, two men have to defend an entire half of a pitch if the opponent is on the counter. But if the defender has strong fortitude and sharp footballing smarts, they can be extremely successful.

Left Back
2 LB Jean le Lieur, age 26 (Pescium)
14 LB Marc Buschier, age 26 (Cyrene City)
25 LB Samuel la Renarde, age 21 (Regium Immortal)
36 LB Mathurin aus Escroëles, age 24 (RC le Especier)
47 LB Remi Caillot, age 22 (Bécherel University)

Right Back
3 RB Loys Roty, age 25 (Meridian)
15 RB Clement Leconte, age 26 (Cyrene Bay)
26 RB Berin le Passeeur, age 21 (Myrrh-Streamer)
37 RB Stevan Latreille, age 25 (Patrons)
48 RB Michael li Enquin, age 26 (Meteor)

Sweepers

Sweeper is the keystone position of Oberour football. Sweepers are bold, confident, and bordering on arrogant. But when they play well they have earned it. Sweepers coordinate the entire Oberour attack, moving up and down the pitch, potentially from goal to goal. Sweepers can be an offensive position, a defensive position, whatever they need. Jugleeur has decided to emphasize youth in the position, with only one option over the age of 25.

10 SW Andre Decastilhon, age 25 (Cyrene Bay)
11 SW Geoffrey Feseresse de Tyssus, age 25 (Dynamo Taucherira)
22 SW Salomon de Chaalons, age 22 (Regium United)
23 SW Loeiz de Pontcastel, age 23 (Celeritas)
33 SW Dominic Menjou, age 25 (Meteor)
34 SW David Garnisseresse, age 27 (Pescium)
44 SW Michel Sau-de-Cries, age 25 (Anceaume)
45 SW Perezig Collbras, age 21 (dit de Comiengne)
55 SW Thélo Billart, age 20 (Confessor)
56 SW Alix la Batallier, age 21 (du Mont Saint Eloy)

Midfielders

Midfielders are facilitators and developers on the pitch. They work with the sweepers to move the ball up the field and try to use their vision to put the ball in a place where forwards can score. Midfielders also can crash forward as an offensive option as well, hoping to overwhelm a defense.

Left Midfielder
5 LM Iudicael Breut, age 33 (Hibernus)
17 LM Mathurin-Nicolas de Gounesse, age 23 (Patrons)
28 LM Riwan Marois, age 24 (Wansan Noksaekjeonsa (Quebec and Shingoryeo))
39 LM Enni l’Encriere, age 25 (Invicta)
50 LM Iahan Petite, age 25 (de la Charite)

Right Midfielder
6 RM Jean-Pierre de Braieres, age 29 (Tikariot City (Tikariot))
18 RM Celestin Ebrard l'Aisné, age 33 (Cyrene City)
29 RM Alor Chamberiere, age 22 (Massalia City)
40 RM Geon de Grant-Pont, age 22 (Kerlaudy University)
51 RM Olîer l’Avugle, age 23 (Meridian)

Center Midfielder
4 CM Peire de Baingneus, age 28 (Hellenic Sports Club (Elmiya))
16 CM David Geoffrion, age 30 (Torbay Thunder (Kelssek))
27 CM Ganael du Gibet, age 26 (Patrons)
38 CM Goulwen Baudrillart, age 26 (Pembina City (Kelssek))
49 CM Olîer l’Avugle, age 23 (Meridian)

Forwards

Their job is to score goals and to score as many goals as possible. The wingers may try to send crosses into the striker, but they are just as willing to cut in and try to score as well.

Left Wing
7 LW Even de Garges, age 30 (Cyrene Bay)
19 LW Peter de Gouviels, age 25 (Patrons)
30 LW Perresson Eschaudeeur, age 26 (Regium United)
41 LW Thomas-Augustin l’Establier, age 26 (Pearlham SC (Xanneria))
52 LW Aredius Gigon, age 24 (Saida Holly)

Right Wing
8 RW Blaise Leboeuf, age 26 (Cyrene Bay)
20 RW Morgann Correndeaulx, age 25 (Carathyr Emeralds (Tikariot))
31 RW Venou Destine, age 26 (Winchester City (Cassadaigua))
42 RW Reunan Petit, age 25 (Celeritas)
53 RW Phelippe Rousignol, age 24 (Anceaume)

Фудбалска репрезентација на Јосифово - Фудбалска репрезентација Јосифова


Intro to Josifovo:


Josifovo(Pronunciation: Yo-see-fo-vo) is a small nation situated in Esportiva. It is bordered by the nations of Cap Nord to its north, and Zeta Reka and Hugeltadom to the east while to the south it has access to the sea known in Josifski Beskrajno Sea. 3 million people have been pitied to call this country their home, despite its enjoyable mediterranean climate to the south slowly changing to a colder and more prone to seasonal swings continental climate further north, suitable for human habitation.

As previously stated, 3 million people have been pitied to call this advancing hellscape their home, as it has been the crossroads of various bigger and stronger empires throught history, which saw the Josifski population constantly subjugated under a bigger nation whether through influence or throught occupation. This has resulted in a multiethnic and multireligious entity which has constant ethnic strife trying to balance the populations within the nation. The majority nonetheless are the Orthodox Josifski consisting of 70% of the population, followed by large minorities of Orthodox Kicuvski, Catholic Kombetare and Muslim Juzunski in the borderline regions. The official language is Josifski, though not a proper language in its own right, it is a dialectal continuum mostly resembling the languages of Serbo-Croatian, Macedonian and various Torlakian dialects. There are two accepted varieties of Josifski used in education nation-wide, the Samuilovo Dialect, resembling Macedonian and the Bijelica Dialect, more so resembling the Shtokavian Variety of Serbo-Croatian.

Today the nation is rapidly developing following the devastating ethnically-based South Slovj war of the 90's which saw Josifovo side up with Kicuvo against the nations of Kombetara and Juzun. The war resulted in the complete destruction of many cities and villages in all countries while it completely reshaped the ethnic makeup of an even more murky and multiethnic general area. Josifovo is currently undergoing massive industrial advancement especially in the oil and automotive industries, while it is also letting go of its accursed socialist past.

The capital of Josifovo is Bijelica, a coastal gem of rare beauty, while its largest city is the older capital, expertly-designed Samuilovo. Those two are the only major cities of the nation. The urban landscape is led by brutalist architecture in pretty much every major city and town, while there are semblances of the older and more ethnic, cultural architecture in the smaller towns and villages. Most major cities and towns are also filled with several industrial warehouses and factories, remnants of the socialist regime that are still being used to this day, although they are getting modernised.

Culturally, because the nation is a big melting pot, you can find an assortment of very differing artforms, cuisines and even customs depending on where in the country you are. The Josifski-majority regions are well-known for their orthodox artstyle and beautiful churches, renown all over Esportiva. The Kicuvski-majority regions are well-known for their culinary traditions, with many foods that are staple all over the region, although there's disputes between every group on whether those foods are Kicuvski, Josifski, Kombetare, Juzunski or from elsewhere. Meanwhile the Kombetare are known for their hospitality and their roughness. While lastly, the Juzunski are known for the Islamic architecture and mathematical aptitude which has led to great engineering feats wherever they happen to be the majority. Despite the internal strife between those populations, harmony and unity can sometimes be reached and in more recent day that is exactly what has been happening all over the nation in its struggle for peace and prosperity in an ever-growing world.




Football in Josifovo:


Football's entry into Josifovo came in the mid-1900's by a population of people from the very far reaches of the multiverse, potentially beyond Esportiva itself. They were speaking in a language intelligible to Bijelica dialect and thus the sport was spread from there.

Football was initially popular among workers in the royal docks of Bijelica and other factory workers. Eventually the sport came to be a coping mechanism for the players during the harsh socialist regime that followed the monarchy but was also used as a means to "educate" the locals about values regarding national identity as well as socialist values that were BLATANTLY pro-regime. Following the Josifski Ethnic War of the 1990's and the country's entry into a democracy, football has solidified its place as the most popular sport in the country, with thousands of viewers in every single league game.

Professional football only became a thing around the 1950's, as such due to the country's relative isolationism beyond its direct neighbors in Esportiva, football has not managed to grow and become as organised as other places in the multiverse. However there's a lot of fans either politically-inclined or ethnically-inclined to follow their favorite teams. This results in violence on the pitches and outside. In multiple places around the country there's fan graffiti and murals in different areas that show their love and support for their teams and usually mark up the areas of cities and towns by team as well as a border registration would.

As for the football itself, Josifski footballers are not known for their talent but more so for their strength and their keenness to follow out the commands of the coach. As such, being a smart coach with strong strategies and correct utilisation of the players has always been the way to go. Smartness usually translated to...




Tactics:


As stated previously, Josifski players are not talented whatsoever. Using their strength and superior height, they tend to win aerial duels and as such crosses are a form of play commonly seen in Josifovo.

The most common lineup is a 4-4-2, with 2 rocking and impossible defenders on the heart of the defence and two side defenders which usually are slightly "faster" than strong. In the midfield, usually there's a central midfielder that supplies to the sides and a central attacking midfielder that supplies crosses and through-balls on the attack, while the side midfielders try to carry the ball forward and then cross it to the two strikers up front. Midfielders are usually the more "unimposing" players but also tend to be the ones most talented with the ball on their feet, so Josifski midfielders tend to be technical. Up front, the two strikers usually form a partnership based on strength and clinical finishing. One tends to be a poacher, while the other tends to be more of a supply finisher than anything. If they get their chances, they have to do the job.

Changes on the team are sensitive due to the strict ethnic division and lack of direct replacement for many of the players.

To be clear and so that it doesn't get missed out THE STYLE MODIFIER IS +1.




The Team:


Record(WCC-Sanctioned Only): (16W-9D-15L)

The team itself was constructed in a way so that all people groups in Josifovo get an "equal" chance to represent the country. Or at least that was what the ФФЈ(FFJ) said, but due to COMPLICATIONS could not be finalised to the fullest extend? Crazy, right?

Naming conventions are complicated at first, Josifski names are usually ones resembling ethnic Macedonian or Serbian names, Kicuvski names are stricly Serbian names, Juzunski names follow Bosnian naming conventions while Kombetare names resemble Albanian names. Without further ado.

West Barack and East Obama National Football Team

A Brief History of Obaman Football


Football as a sport is prohibited in West Barack and East Obama, along with other team sports such as cricket, rugby and paintball. This is because the prevalence team sports has a strong correlation to organised crime, violence and political dissidents, so all attempts at forming groups are prohibited. However, West Barack and East Obama has established an official national football team to help promote Obaman values on the international stage.

The West Barack and East Obama National Football Team has seen many highs and lows. Most recently, the Obamen participated in the 20th Independent Associations Championship in HUElavia, where they emerged as one of the favourites after a strong showing in the 95th World Cup. While the team made a run to the quarterfinals, it ended on a sour note with an exit to returning team Reçueçn who were far lower ranked. However, let it be known that the Obama Carers are back and ready to make giant splashes in the World Cup once again.

The Coaching Team


Head Coach: Buck Obamafinakis
Assistant Coach: Tuck Obamafinakis
Goalkeeping Coach: Chuck Obamafinakis

The Obamafinakis brothers are legendary throughout Southeast Obama. Known for their law firm 'Obamafinakis, Obamafinakis & Obamafinakis', these triplets are known for their expert litigation skills and have reduced countless death penalty sentences to paltry life imprisonment with hard labour and without parole sentences. Now, they're putting their persuasive skills and tactical knowledge to the real test by continuing their role as the coaching staff of the West Barack and East Obama national team for the World Cup. Rumours that they were forced to take the job so that the government can distract them away from practicing law to better suppress dissidents are still false.

The Players


The players of the football team have been selected based on a variety of factors. The team that has been selected is the one that will maximise winning in competitions whilst minimising the possibility of bonds and teamwork being formed.

Goalkeeper: Dwayne Obama, 38

Captain Dwayne Obama is a fighter pilot for the Glorious Obama Air Forces. Known as 'Dwayne, Destroyer of Planes', Obama has taken down more enemy aircraft and blown up more secessionist state hospitals than can be counted. His reflexes and quick thinking helps him to get out of sticky situations, and his incredible muscles from intensive training means he can stop a powerful ball with just his pinky. The perfect goalkeeper candidate.

Left Centre Back: Nossu Obamadamus, 25

Follpwing the retirement of long-time captain and multi-sport legend Trent Vobama, newcomer Nossu Obamadamus has some big shoes to fill. But that's just what he does, as the New Barack City cobbler is one of the best shoe-repairers in the world. Having a scarily intricate knowledge of feet and foot sizes, Obamadamus has legendary football IQ which allows him to predict where opponents will run to or land, allowing him to intercept balls in team and time tackles perfectly. He's also agreed to collaborate with Fred Olibama on the kit and shoes duty with his expertise in diamond-encrusted spikes. Who said defending can't be flashy?

Centre Back: Barack Denovitz, 31

A feared mob enforcer in downtown New Barack City, the Obamafinakis brothers convinced the Obaman courts to let Denovitz out for the competition, and if he succeeds could earn 10 years off his 150 year sentence (with hard labour). The definition of a hard man, he doesn't tackle, he just scares them away. Suspended on all of his debuts and he'd do it all over again.

Right Centre Back: Bark Obamallama, 33

Door-to-door llama salesman Bark Obamallama has really thick skin. You'll need it to if your day was spent dodging llama spit and verbal abuse from disinterested buyers. Described as being devoid of any emotions, Obamallama will have no second thoughts about ending that opponent's career with a devastating (but legal) slide tackle.

Left Wide Midfielder: Jenny Barracki, 29

Being a professional sprinter, Jenny Barracki is the fastest woman alive. In West Barack and East Obama. She can outrun most of her opponents down the wing, delivering crosses to waiting strikers. Also, she's great at fielding in cricket. Is there anything this girlboss can't do?

Left Central Midfielder: Harvey Chobamya, 30

Harvey Chobamya is not your average gym bro. He spends all of his days and nights on the treadmill at Anytime Obama in New Barack City, as well as doing all of the leg and feet exercises. The strongest lower body in the whole of the nation, he can send balls out of the stadium with just a slight tap. Leg day skips this guy.

Central Midfielder: Wolfgang Obamadeus-Mozart, 26

Better known by his pseudonym "DJ Momo" of the rap duo "Momo and the Obamasaurus", Obamadeus-Mozart has very unpredictable movement patterns to match his crazy beats. He can bamboozle, flabbergast and dumbfound any of his opponents to get the ball from one end of the pitch to the other. His rythmnic playing is also pretty nice to watch.

Right Central Midfielder: Charles Obama, 30 (captain)

Royal Butler to The One and Only Barack Horatio Obama, Charles Obama is also a very skilled footballer. A holding midfielder, there's no room for nonsense when this guy's on the pitch. His commanding presence and knack for providing service to his fellow players will come into handy. The new captain of the team following the retirement of Trent Vobama, the venerable Obama will now have the challenge of leading his ragtag group of misfits to glory.

Right Wide Midfielder: Brett Pogama, 32

Brett Pogama has a lot of sports experience, participating in one of the most popular sports in the country (since team sports were banned) in greyhound racing. He plays the role of the rabbit, where he has to run as fast as he can to escape a pack of vicious greyhounds. Most of the time he gets out with only a flesh wound or two, showcasing his excellence for evading opponents to bring a ball into the box.

Left Centre Forward: Lily Chobamya, 21

Sister to Harvey Chobamya, Lily is good at free kicks and penalties. Inbetween her courses at Frederick Obamatown National Health University, she practices her set pieces, which aren't technically illegal as there's only one player playing. She can't do much else, but if you foul someone, say bye bye to your fragile lead.

Right Centre Forward: Fred Olibama, 33

Fred Olibama is one powerful forward. He is a cobbler by day, but in his spare time makes some of the best sports shoes known to man. Being both the striker and the kit guy for the team, his experience in bring in the shoes of a footballer will definitely be a big help to the team.

Nickname: Obamen, The Obama Carers

Stadiums:

Fort Obama Supermax, Obamafalls, East Obama


With a seating capacity of 500, Fort Obama Supermax is currently the largest football stadium in the nation. Converted from a parcel of marsh (mixed in with sewage from the nearby Fort Obama Supermax prison), the stadium is surrounded by ten metre high reinforced concrete walls with barbed wire. Snipers at the towers surrounding the prison will also have additional duties to ensure that no one else gets any funny ideas and tries to break the team sports rule. Of course, this great sense of security will be great for travelling fans, and politicians who will be the only Obamen allowed to attend the matches there. The changing rooms are highly secure with locker doors recycled from scrapped cell doors from the prison, so players' valuables are untouchable.


The Pentagram Underworld, Jakartington WB, West Barack


With a seating capacity of just 100, the Pentagram Underworld may seem small but it is a technological marvel. Built underneath the military HQ of West Barack and East Obama, The Pentagram, the Underworld is highly secure as only those with special clearance will be allowed anywhere near the building. The entire stadium is air conditioned, and the artificial pitch is just sublime. Large lamps illuminate the place so that players and attendees can see what's going on, and there's also a selection of fast food stands from inside the Pentagram in case anyone gets peckish. Of course, travelling fans will need to be vetted and examined for a minimum of 48 days before being declared secure enough to enter. They will also be given a special serum to help them forget everything except the match after it takes place, so be sure to account for these in your plans if you want to attend a match!

The TRUE VALHALLAN FEDERATION of POLAR ISLANDSTATES, Roster for WORLD CUP 96 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: Federico Aalto, 53 Image
Record in Charge: P 5, W 0, D 1, L 4, GF 2, GA 12, GD 0-10, WP 0%
A True Valhallan, Federico Aalto was promoted from assistant to manager of the national side pretty much by direct instruction of the Secretary General Orion Lund himself. Not that the SecGen knows who Aalto is, as such, but the circus that was Iosef Miroshnichenko's tenure in charge was entirely designed to keep column inches away from Lund's lunge for total power and the abolition of any sort of election whatsoever. To be fair to Lund, it did somewhat work, with Aalto having been under pressure from agents of the dreaded Office of Observations to contradict and work against Miroshnichenko at almost any opportunity. Fans, pundits, talking heads, and commentators alike were all pushing for Aalto to be listened to more and more, with the vast majority rightly fed up of Miroshnichenko's conservative brand of defensive football. He argued it was pragmatic, with the Terns still a long way from the standard of the best international sides, but the fans were unhappy. And when that's the national team, it means the nation is unhappy. And when the nation is unhappy with something else, Lund never lets an opportunity to get what he wants go begging. So; it became #Miroshnichenkout, and #Aaltin.

Under instruction from those at The Party who understand football a little more than Lund does, the OO will conitnue to dictate instructions, threats, and manipulations to Aalto whenever possible, in an effort to keep the football team and their fans in check now that their purpose has been served. Aalto's Külmsaari background means he is born from the same cradle that supported The Party in their rally against Sargossan influence - a path that would eventually lead Lund to taking absolute power in the Federation, and a background that The Party will continue to exploit in Aalto whenever possible, despite East Külmsaar not technically being a part of the Federation anymore. Unbeknownst to The Party however, is Aalto's little coincidental meeting with a selection of like-minded individuals in the Ocean Cafe, Bjarnarey. You can read up in my RPs, but to all intents and purposes, Aalto is currently operating as what you'd call a double agent. There is no reason for you or your characters to know this however, so keep schtum. He might appear agitated on the sidelines slightly more than usual however.

Football-wise, Aalto's Külmsaari background also means we're going to see a dramatic shift from the dirge served up by Miroshnichenko, as Aalto forms a team in his own image and attempts to overhaul the image of the side that the last manager inflicted upon the Multiverse; which was probably Aalto's only genuine source of frustration with his former boss. Saari football is relentlessly attacking, and Aalto is going to practice what he preaches. Expect lop-sided line-ups, plenty of attacking intent, and a determination to fit the best players into whatever formation that dictates. Players will swap positions, be expected to run harder than they ever have done before, and operate with a strict direction in mind: forwards.

He had a bit of a nightmare start to his tenure in the Winter Queendom, with the Terns yet to win under his watch. The overall direction and ambition of play looked promising however, and despite the cold hard pragmatism and stiflingly boring defensive football of Miroshnichenko's tenure having garnered more points, it is nonetheless true that fans so far are happy to at least be trying to score goals, and Aalto's position is totally safe.

For how long that remains the case is anyone's guess however, and Lund and the OO will no doubt be watching and waiting to see if they can take advantage of any situation that may drop into their laps.


Assistant Manager: Einar Jepsen, 52 Image
Originally coming in on a temporary basis, former assistant manager of the national u-21s side Einar Jepsen has since been offered and accepted an extension to his contract, though there is no suggestion he sees himself accepting the role on a permanent basis. Having exhibited enough potential at one point to be considered a future world-beater whilst in the Jan Mayen youth ranks, injuries curtailed his development, and when he pinged his ACL for the third time at the age of just 24, he started focusing on gaining his coaching badges. Several years at Jan Mayen followed, before opting to move into the national team set-up and accompanying Erik Zhamaletdinov's revolution of the u-21s. Having impressed with his contribution from the dugout following back-to-back finals with the Chicks, he is looking to strike out on his own with a career in the slightly hotter seat to the left of him at some point, so don't expect him to be here this time next cycle. Do however expect to see him coaching the defence whilst Aalto focuses on the front-end. With his experience with the u-21s squad, he is also instrumental in introducing youngsters into the fold.


PLAYERS:
#1 - GK - Hans Aigner - Age 30 - Image East Franz Athletic Image - 49 Caps
A True Valhallan and a truly safe pair of hands. The Terns might not have covered themselves in glory since their return to international football, but without Aigner in the goalmouth, things could have been a whole lot worse. Has proved himself over and over for the Terns when he was so often the different between a one-nil win and something far less satisfying. Still young-ish for a goalkeeper, Aigner is nonetheless well aware that there are two very gifted goalkeepers on the bench right now that are just itching to unseat him from the role that has been his for so long. How will he fare with a less organised defence in front of him? Time will tell, but don't be surprised to see the youngsters get run-outs during qualifying.

#2 - D/WBR - Johannes Braun - Age 31 - Image Damogran (SRS) Image - 45 Caps, 2 Assists, 1 Goal
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 that Nasjonale Hauker invested in their youth academy following their hot streak of league titles. He may have moved on to pastures new, but he's still a young lad from the East End at heart. Lightning quick, he sacrificed a promising track career to concentrate on football, and his pace more than makes up for his lack of pure tactical awareness. Was made a bit of a scapegoat for fans of both the Terns and Hauker in the past, but he's re-found his form since he signed on the dotted line for Damogran, and with injury to the experienced Rafael Kowaleski keeping him out of the squad for the time-being, Braun becomes the senior full-back in the squad.

#3 - D/WBL - Jalmari Hagen - Age 23 - Image SK Franz Josef City Image - 11 Caps, 1 Assist
A True Valhallan, Jalmari Hagen's stock just keeps on rising. With his eye-catching strength and inherent star quality, if he played for anyone else you might have said he was the kind of player who was sure to end up playing for SK. He just seems to 'fit' there, so it's a rare win for the SK academy that they've managed to produce a player that's perfect for them already. Fast, direct, physical, and with a deft touch, Hagen is everything a modern Valhallan full-back should be. Aalto is all about the attacking, yes, but this just places more personal responsibility on the defenders to be able to defend when called upon, particularly on the left side of defence where the requirements to be buccaneering is less onerous. Fortunately, Hagen is perfectly adept at that too. Just try dribbling round him. I dare you. Despite his years, is already one of the leading figures in the SK dressing room.

#4 - DC - Aapo Miroshnichenko - Age 25 - Image Tikariot City FC (TKT) Image - 35 Caps
A True Valhallan, and yes, the former 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, although, at this age, you'd hope for that to come sooner rather than later... Was a runner-up at DBC55 and won a place in the starting line-up of the Terns as a result; a position he's been in and around ever since, including 're-ousting' Olsen from the position after the Copa. There used to be a sense that 'young Aapo' wasn't quite ready to take on the Multiverse, but that's all evaporated now. One of a handful of players to have signed for clubs in Tikariot, Spires fans have missed his level-headedness and ability to read the game.

#5 - DC - Odbjorn Ohm - Age 24 - Image Baskita FC (PAS) Image - 54 Caps, 1 Goal - Vice-Captain
A True Valhallan, Ohm was one of the stars of the DBC campaign in Valanora and Banija, where he played alongside Miroshnichenko as the Chicks finished runners-up to Qasden. He had already shown enough in the Terns jersey to be deemed worthy of a lift up into the starting line-up, and having continued to impress for both club and country, sparked something of a bidding war when he suggested he'd be open to a move abroad. Accordingly, and now playing for Baskita in Pasarga after a short spell with Nepharan giants Crisisbless, Ohm takes his spot as probably the naturally gifted Polarian centre-back in a couple of generations. Now firmly in his mid-twenties, the time for Ohm to push on and make good on everything people have said about his is now, so Aalto has broken with tradition to give an official vice-captaincy for the first time in a long time, and, really, who else would it have gone to but this strong and powerful defender with an eye for a long pass and, at least domestically; a wicked record from set pieces in the opposition box. A few more of those in the navy of the Terns wouldn't go amiss, Odbjorn...

#6 - DM/MC - Nic Dementieva - Age 22 - Image Rülândéá Kôstä (FFD) Image - 18 Caps, 1 Assist
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. Fresh from captaining the Chicks to the DBC title, he signed up for the madness of the S-PFL, so Thor only knows what kind of player Rülândéá Kôstä are turning him into. It should be interesting, anyway. 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 think 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. Can play anywhere in that midfield now, a fact that will come in very useful for an Aalto midfield, which is perhaps why he has been handed the number six short for this cycle and a starting berth. When he plays well, he is often the multiplier that catapults a good team performance into a winning one. But when he plays badly, the formation the Terns will be using could see them left open enough to get cut to ribbons. So. No pressure, then...

#7 - AM/MC - Einar Heimark - Age 24 - Image Tikariot City FC (TKT) Image - 56 Caps, 11 Assists, 3 Goals
A True Valhallan, Heimark was the only member of the DBC runners-up 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 back then. Nonetheless, he is an energetic and direct attacking midfielder who does need other players to do some of the legwork for him but is outstanding when given that license to perform. 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 the other attackers to exploit, something Aalto's tactic will attempt to make use of, whilst also asking him to employ a bit more consideration and be more willing to play a supporting role when necessary. One of two players to have moved to and impressed at Tikariot City FC, but will be feeling the pressure given the number of talented attacking midfielders in the Federation right now. It's a good problem to have, but with the late blooming of Kazimir, and the depth of talent in the u21s squad right now, Heimark will know that his days as the shining young talent are over and he now needs to graft to hold onto his position in the squad.

#8 - MC - Oscar Pallasmaa - Age 29 - Image 1923 Esca (MYT) Image - 61 Caps, 12 Assists, 4 Goals - CAPTAIN
A True Valhallan, Pallasmaa is possibly the most talented all-round midfielder the Federation has produced since pre-isolation. Adept at holding, knowing when to press forwards, and when to let loose with one of his famous raking long range passes, it is impossible to imagine the modern Bjarnarey without his influence, such was 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 Bjarninger, and is now a national one, too. We expect his star to continue to shine, and all that experience he is bringing with him from Mytanija can only be a good thing for the national team. In another era he might have been a potential all-timer, but he'll need a knockout stage win or two to his name to be able to claim anything like that, and time might be running out in the Terns' resurgence to achieve that. Will that stop him giving his all though? No, of course not. Inspirational, intelligent, and in-control. Has swapped shirt numbers as part of Aalto's revolution, but this is honestly more thanks to the amount of players ahead of him in the formation rather than an indication he's being asked to do a more defensive role. In fact, with his position being asked to drift wide and occupy the right-side of the pitch almost single-handed, his importance is only growing.

#9 - ST - Emmanuele Niemi - Age 23 - Image La + Querida (FFD) Image - 26 Caps, 8 Goals
A True Valhallan, Emmanuele Niemi was the talk of the Federation when he lit up DBC55 with his goalscoring, almost single-handedly propelling the Chicks all the way to the final 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 La + Querida have secured themselves a gem here, much to the disappointment of the Nasjonale Hauker fans he's leaving behind, but you can't expect a striker this talented to stay here forever. His father is also a former Polarian u21s international, and he was born in the Fallenmark 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 ever since winning the DBC in his second attempt, he's managed to raise his game even further. An out-and-out goalscorer, he'll attempt to replicate his telepathic relationship with Nijgaard with his new strike partner Eisenhauer, but so far is just happy to have snatched the precious number nine jersey. Scored twice at the Copa in one of the few positive effects of Aalto's new regime - keep that ratio of chances to goals up in a more successful team and we'll be laughing all the way to the finals. Maybe.

#10 - ST - Dmitry Eisenhauer - Age 32 - Image Tekstil Ibon (MYT) Image - 58 Caps, 1 Assist, 15 Goals
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, but when SK indicated they'd be dipping into the international transfer markets like theyr used to, his ego dictated he had to move. And so, to Mytanija. Knows he's got competition, and has raised his game as a result, so whilst one goal every three games might not sound impressive, in a Miroshnichenko Sr. side it wasn't to be sniffed at at all. That ratio has slipped out a bit in recent years however, and there is very mush the sense amongst observers that this will be his last World Cup cycle with the Terns. His ego dictates he'd rather go out with a bang than fade away, so we'll see what sort of thing he has planned - even if Aalto's tactics require he pull back and use his physical atttributes to bring 'young Niemi' into the game.

#11 - AML/WF - Sebastian Nylund - Age 26 - Image 1896 Ebor (MYT) Image - 59 Caps, 7 Assists, 10 Goals
A True Valhallan, Nylund can operate as a number ten but does tend to drift wide, a fact that these new tactics of Aalto's are set up to exploit. Expect to see him dominating that left side of the attacking fulcrum, popping up when and where you least expect him too, and good luck trying to mark him - he'll cut in when there are players looking for a cross and hang wide when there aren't. And yet, always seems to work out for him. He was astonishingly good for Northbrook in his final season there, but when 1896 Ebor offered him a route to Mytanijan football he jumped at it with both hands. Their gain is our loss. He has the talent to play anywhere he wants to, and is entirely capable of playing across the front line if you wanted him to, which is fortunate given Aalto's ascendency. Nimble, agile, full of tricks, and with the physique to ensure he can't get pushed around; this kid isn't a kid anymore but a fully-fledged superstar in the making... just so long as he can stay out of the nightclubs. Managed to gain credit with the press by standing out in a poor Copa campaign, if he wants to have a breakthrough qualifying campaign I'm sure we'd all be keen...

#12 - GK - Jaan Reusser - Age 23 - Image SK Aasiaat Harbour Image - 1 Cap
A True Valhallan, Jaan Reusser won the DBC under Jepsen and drew many plaudits with his mature and intelligent goalkeeping performances. Went back to his club after that and seized the number one jersey there, and was instrumental in Aasiaat's title win, gaining a spot in the team of the season as a result. Has come on in leaps and bounds since then, with the young man that's made this squad a far cry from the boy who turned out for the Chicks. Is only going from strength to strength, and will undoubtedly challenge Sipp for the right to challenge Aigner for the national number one jersey.

#13 - GK - Jori Sipp - Age 25 - Image FC1. Bjarnarey Flotilla Image - 3 Caps
A True Valhallan, Sipp's performances at DBC55 impressed Miroshnichenko Sr enough to earn himself a call-up into the senior squad, and he's been here ever since. Is hoping to provide competition for Aigner, alongside Reusser, and is certainly destined for big things. A nimble and cat-like penalty specialist, which might be useful later in the tournament, he was snapped up from Jan Mayen by the Flotilla a few seasons ago, and looks set to be a leading light for the Bargemen at the back for a long time to come.

#14 - AM/MC - Elvis Haugen - Age 24 - Image Qet NSC (CMT) Image - 15 Caps
A True Valhallan, Haugen is in the same boat as Sipp in this his string of performances at DBC55 convinced Miroshnichenko Sr, 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 - and his performances from the bench have been consistently good enough to mean he has held onto his spot. 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 - but is alsto maybe in the same boat as Heimark when it comes to acknowledging that his spot in the squad isn't guaranteed anymore. With all that talent flying around, he's going to need a strong campaign to hold onto his position.

#15 - D/WB L/R - Mikkel Makkinen - Age 22 - Image FC1. Bjarnarey Flotilla Image - 2 Caps
A True Valhallan, Makkinen has turned himself into something of a renaissance man at the back, and is equally adept at playing as a full-back or wing-back, and on either side of the defence. Might lack the physical strength to take up a central role, but his speed and guile mean that whichever side of defence he's deployed on will gain an intelligent and highly skilled attacking asset, able to pop up in any of the four corners of the pitch and be able to achieve his goals. With age, he's gaining confidence and the ability to trust himself as well, with a ruthless edge and desire to win that few can match.

#16 - DL/R - Heiki Uhlgren - Age 24 - Image Jan Mayen Islanders Image - Uncapped
A True Valhallan, Heiki Uhlgren is another of the DBC runners-up squad to be making an appearance here, although for Heiki this marks a first appearance in the Terns squad after impressing for a bang average Jan Mayen side in Divisjon One. Strong, dependable, and - crucially for Aalto - capable of playing on both sides of defence, he will hope to use that versatility and intelligent play to good effect for the Terns. This marks the first time since emerging back onto the international scene that someone other than Braun or Kowaleski have been present in the squad as a designated right-back, which marks something of a watershed moment for the 'Terns Mk II', but with the way Makkinen and Uhlgren switch all over the place, which one of them it actually is is anyone's guess...

#17 - DMC - Ragnar Holst - Age 29 - Image SK Aasiaat Harbour Image - 55 Caps, 2 Assists, 1 Goal
A True Valhallan, Ragnar Holst was only a teenager when he helped propel Aasiaat to their first Divisjon One titles, and he was the captain this time around as they lifted their last title. May have lost the starting berth at defensive midfield to Dementieva, more as a result of Aalto's change in tactical style than anything else, but as a DivOne winning captain he will bring an awful lot of defensive acumen and strength of thought with him off the bench should he be called upon. Smart, clever, lets his feet do the talking - particularly on the edge of either box - and unflappable, and will likely feature a lot when the Terns need to protect a lead or shut a game down in the closing stages.

#18 - ST - Elmo Polland - Age 28 - Image SK Nasjonale Hauker Image - 3 Caps
A True Valhallan, Polland's recent run of form has been nothing short of remarkable. Something of a late starter, clearly, Red Star's recent climb up the table from relegation flirters to Big Six challengers has an awful lot to do with Polland. With a ruthless eye for the right angle, his touches-to-shots ratio must be amongst the best in the league, and he almost always make the goalkeeper work hard. More of a finisher than a networker, he will represent something of a Plan B for Aalto should he come on, and, although superficially similar to both Niemi and Eisenhauer in a way, is the definition of "gives the defence something else to think about". An emotional and hard-working player, he had thought at one point that his national team opportunity had passed him by, so expect emotional fireworks to follow any fireworks he able to create in the opposition box, as despite three caps and nearly ninety minutes of action in the Copa, he failed to grab a shot on target. Moved to Nasjonale in the off-season as a result of the striker merry-go-round as a replacement for Niemi, and will be looking to prove they made the right decision here.

#19 - MC - Marten Kallenberger - Age 23 - Image Litala 93 (MYT) Image - 11 Caps
A True Valhallan, Kallenberger seems to have edged out Leonhardt in the discussion for utility midfield option from the bench, and it's not hard to see why. Leonhardt might have had the experience, but Kallenberger has the DBC winners medal, and more importantly, the talent. The ball seems to stick to him, he always seems to find a player with his passing, and both of those abilities are key to any Aalto side, just as they were to Miroshnichenko. Originally touted as an attacking midfielder, he's more of a carrier than that would suggest, so is labelled as a solid middle-of-the-park option in this roster, but that versatility makes him very attractive to Aalto as a result. Litala 93 clearly saw the same qualities in him as Aalto did, and he joins the massed ranks of Terns internationals in Mytanija right now. Time is a circle, and all that.

#20 - ST - Youssef Nijgaard - Age 22 - Image FC1. Bjarnarey Flotilla Image - 19 Caps, 6 Assists, 2 Goals
A True Valhallan, Nijgaard exploded into the national consciousness with some electrifying performances at the DBC 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 first World Cup squad. Another Bjarninger 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 his time with the Terns. More of a deep lying player than an out-and-out finisher, he is a dream of a strike partner to have for others - and will fit like a dream into Aalto's front four. A leader figure given the chance, a bright future awaits for this young man.

#21 - AMC - Povl Kazimir - Age 27 - Image FC1. Bjarnarey Flotilla Image - 2 Caps
A True Valhallan, Povl Kazimir showed enough class in a poor Longyearbyen side to get snapped up by East Franz Athletic, but lasted only one season before being tempted away from the capital by the bright lights of... Bjarnarey?. Goes to show just how easily the best players are tempted away from Franz Josef City right now, I guess, but the Spires' loss was the Bargemen's gain in a dynamite league performance last season. Internationally based players might dominate the Terns' starting line-up right now, but Bjarnarey have been busy snapping up the best of the rest, and Kazimir joins a bench that is stacked with talent currently plying their way at The Barge. Skilled, liquid in attack, and with a first touch to die for, his ability to collect a pass in flight and make a defence-splitting assist without breaking his stride is something to behold. Would rather provide than deal the cutting blow himself, his developing partnership with Nijgaard will be something exciting should they both be on the pitch at the same time.

#22 - DC - Heino Olsen - Age 29 - Image SK Franz Josef City Image - 22 Caps
A True Valhallan, Olsen was in the starting line-up when the Terns made their comeback to the international scene, and was naturally disappointed to see his place lost to Ohm. Was on a mission to claim his spot back as a result, and appears to have doubled his levels of professionalism almost single-handedly kept SK competing for international football at times. 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. Probably about equal with Miroshnichenko in terms of what they offer, so don't be surprised to see him starting as many games as his younger compatriot.

#23 - DC - Aslak Hrafninnsson - Age 26 - Image Orchideeën (TXH) Image - 1 Cap
A True Valhallan, Aslak had been climbing the ranks at Nasjonale slowly but steadily following his move from Eintracht Moss-Rygge a few seasons ago, eventually making the starting spot his own. His performances in recent seasons have also made Aalto take note, and now that he's in charge of this operation, Aslak gets the nod. A nod that even with a single appearance in the Copa, was enough for Taxhavn club Orchideeën to make something of an example of him. With Blockhead heritage, his physical size is understandably massive, but he carries himself around the pitch rather more nimbly than you'd expect. Still, he remains very much in the 'big and mean' mould, and therefore is perfectly suited to provide an alternative to Aalto's usual plan should one be required.



TACTICS: 3-3-4

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. Rather than a return to that exact spirit, fans will be hoping that Aalto is a breath of fresh air following the defensive football served up by the previous manager, and to be honest, don't really mind if they concede a lot and lose a few along the way.

At the back, the centre-backs and left-back will be called upon to do most of the defending, with the right-hand-side left open for a marauding performance from the wing-back. Dementieva and Pallasmaa complete that 'central' line of what counts for a midfield, but this formation is designed to be fluid in both attack and defence so this is just a guide, really, and the unpredictability of Dementieva in particular could well make or break things for the Terns at any given moment. With the right-side held down by attacks from deep, the bulk of the attacking focus comes from playing on the left, with both Heimark and Nylund tending to drift that way and make space for Eisenhauer and Niemi in the middle. Pallasmaa will go wherever the space is, and the whole tactic is based around being unpredictable and creating overloads in specific parts of the pitch at specific times.

It's clear that Aalto hadn't quite had the time to drill the new tactics into the players by the time the Copa came around, but hopefully there has been enough time to change that since then, as it would be nice to win some games again, to be quite honest.

NOTE: Please also be minded that the formation could be asked to 'mirror' or 'invert' itself at any time with the signal from Aalto. That is to say, the players on the wings wouldn't actually switch places physically, but the roles and asymmetry would flip; so the left back would press on whilst the right back hung back, and so on and so forth. How successful this inversion tactic performs is entirely up to you to RP should you so choose to.

But, none of them were True Valhallans. So. Debatable as to whether these records really count...



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.

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 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/revealed exactly, but the exercise is being externally described as a good way to advertise the new Valhalla to the outside world. In actual fact, Secretary General Orion Lund had an ulterior motive, one which has just been put into action; namely, the abolition of elections by distracting everyone with other events so they vote it through. There is no reason that your characters would know for certain what Lund has planned for Aalto or the nation in general, though you are free to speculate - particularly where the reappearance of Alexsandr van Sorensen is concerned, even if you won't know about the counter-movement being formed.

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. Expect plenty of shady support staff to follow the Terns abroad, too. Despite the official line that 'things are getting more and more free'; they aren't.

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