Welcome to Warkus for the twelfth edition of the CAFA Cup.

Signup/Roster Thread • Host Bid • CAFA XI (Mertagne) • Current CAFA Rankings

The first stage of the CAFA Cup sees teams compete in a single round robin stage. The winners of each of the four groups of five will make it to the Winner’s Quarterfinals and the second place teams will make it to the First Elimination Finals. The losers of the Winner’s Quarterfinals get a second chance in the Second Elimination Finals against the winners of the First Elimination Finals. The winners of the Winner’s Quarterfinals and the winners of the Second Elimination Finals will then compete in the Semi Finals. The winners of the Semi Finals will face off in the Grand Final while the losers will compete in Third Place Playoff. If this is all too hard to follow, just look at this and ignore the slightly more confusing terminology.

GROUPS
As a totally intentional and not at all last minute decision made during the live draw when I realised four pots of five teams does not equate to four groups of five teams… Each group has had their fifth team selected from a random pot. It's quirky, it's unique, it's very Anaia…Right? Well, it's very Warkus at least.

GROUP A

GROUP B

GROUP C

GROUP D

Tiebreakers for the group stage will be the following, in order:

Points
Goal difference
Head-to-head points
Head-to-head goal difference

An Introduction to Warkus

Welcome to Warkus, your host nation for the twelfth edition of the CAFA Cup. The nation has only recently returned to the international sporting world in the last World Cup Cycle, but our star is slowly rising after a decent performance in the Qualifiers and securing third place at the last World Lacrosse Championship.
Warkus is made up of two constituent kingdoms: East Warkus and West Warcus (yes they spell 'Warkus' differently – think of West Warcus as a place where standard Welsh orthography is used and East Warkus as a place where ‘k’ is used instead of ‘c’.) Warkus was historically a land beset by bloody war and conflict, so a strong emphasis on peace and ‘dovishness’ has been a part of the country’s national identify after both kingdoms were unified.

Over time Warkus gradually became what one could describe as a market socialist economy with widespread socialised ownership of capital in the form of a myriad of social wealth funds, traditional nationalised sectors, more autonomous state-owned enterprises, workers’ and consumers’ co-ops and so on. The nation has an incredibly strong, robust and universalised welfare state and high taxes, including some ‘regressive’ taxes like VAT, to boot.

Warkus has relatively lax border laws – the high prices, egalitarianism and extensive bureaucracy already serve as a enough of a barrier to tourism and migration.

Climate and Geography
Your stay in Warkus is taking place during the summer, but Warkus is a bit all over the place when it comes to the climate. The core cities in East Warkus like Dinas Wen and Verdanforest enjoy a mild, temperate climate with temperatures hitting around 35°C at the most extreme during the peak of summer. One exception is the north-eastern city of Reuchin, which often enjoys a small amount of snowfall in the winter months. During the summer, however, Reuchin (and the north-eastern area in general) has relatively mild, dry weather with temperatures of around 19°C-23°C during the day. The western cities, particularly Dinas Sand, but also Llanwern and Perthcelyn, have a hot and dry semi-arid climate. Temperatures over there can reach as high as 46°C, but are typically around 27-30°C at this time of year. Make sure to drink plenty of water, wear hats and apply sunscreen when you’re outdoors.

Tourism and Transport
The capital and largest city in Warkus is Nyareth Newydd (also known as ‘New Nyareth’ or affectionately by locals as ‘New Nyaky’ – ask them why!) which is roughly located in the centre of the country and is ‘neither eastern nor western’. There’s plenty to do there: check out some huge libraries, go to the theatre, head to a jazz club – basically lots of artsy stuff. You’ll also find the National Museum of Warkus, which runs a massive permanent exhibition on the unification of the two Kingdoms. You can also book in to do a tour of Castell Siôr, which was built by the city’s founder and the first historically verifiable King of a unified Warkus in the late 1700s. It’s actually the home of the Senedd Warkus, which is the nation’s unicameral legislature.

West Warcus
The second largest city, and traditional capital of West Warcus, is Dinas Sand. It’s a big, sandy industrial city that’s rapidly turning into the nation’s tech hub. It’s only marginally smaller than Nyareth Newydd in population, but locals will insist that it’s actually bigger. If you’re into museums and such, then check out the Workers’ History Museum and have a look at some of the old mudbrick castles nearby. There’s also the famous Sand Castle on the city’s coast which was the seat of the Kings and Queens of West Warcus. Dinas Sand is also known for its thriving music scene and great gigs can be found at most pubs.

Llanwern is the second largest western city, and fifth largest overall, known for its beautiful beaches and historic ports. It’s a great spot for fishing, snorkelling and scuba diving. Otherwise, it’s a bit of a generic city. Decent nightlife, decent museums, decent food… Decent, not outstanding. Not usually a top tourist destination.

Perthcelyn is the final city you might end up playing in over in the west. Perthcelyn is known for its gourmet food and specialist coffee shops. It’s a relatively laid back city with little in the way of nightlife, but it’s also the safest city in Warkus known for its incredibly low crime rates.

East Warkus
The traditional capital of East Warkus is Dinas Wen. It’s an old city known for its historical, well-maintained classical architecture. It’s often called the ‘radial city’ or the ‘circular city’ because it was planned in a circular way with a series of moats and the current seat of the Warkusian monarchs, Caer Lloer, smack bang in the middle. The outskirts of the city, however, have sprawled out tremendously as a result of the strict heritage laws governing the city’s buildings and architecture. Caer Lloer departs from the city’s classical architecture with its gothic design and jet black colour. It’s great to take pictures of, and you can explore some of the castle’s rooms, but you can’t get much more access since it’s still in use. It’s easy to get into the city centre and out, but it’s a bit of a drag to get around the outer suburbs – which is unfortunately where the city’s stadiums are. The trains are your best bet, but they slow right down as soon as you leave the city centre. It can take up to an hour, sometimes even longer, to make it to the stadiums from the city.

The fourth largest city in Warkus is Verdanforest, which has a reputation for being pleasant and forest-y and… kinda boring. But if you take the train out of the city and look around the hills in the countryside you can find some beautiful freshwater lakes or sample some of the local wines from the wineries. You can also travel by car or coach but for reasons listed below, it’s better to stick with the trains unless you’re willing to pay an absolute fortune in taxes.

The final city you could be visiting during the CAFA Cup is Reuchin, located inside the northeastern mountains of Warkus. Cooler temperatures, Nordic loanwords, a local obsession for basketball and, increasingly, tourists getting a cooler reception. Reuchin is typically a tourist hot spot, especially for domestic tourists looking for something different from the Warkus’s other cities, but their new Mayor Fyrsil Lawrence is something of an anti-tourism populist. Gift shops are closing down and the city’s shares in their famous tea brand Maid’s Water, which makes incredibly mild black tea, have been sold off to the Northern Tea Worker’s Co-operative. But it’s still a nice place to visit, especially during summer, where you’ll avoid the domestic tourist rush that comes in the winter months.

Transportation around Warkus is almost entirely done via high-speed rail. The rail system is very large, reliable and clean. Trains arrive incredibly frequently too. Travel into the more rural areas can be a little frustrating, especially if you’re used to travelling by car, but don’t be tempted into renting a car. Seriously. Coaches and carpooling are an option if you’re desperate, but driving is prohibitively expensive in Warkus. That’s by design, of course, the country is proudly ‘almost car-free’. You might also be tempted to take a plane if you’re going from east to west, but that too is incredibly expensive and not worth it in most cases because the high-speed rail system is quick and efficient.

What if I want to see more?
Warkus is home to the Saifiri Isles, a large island off the west coast of the mainland. Saifiri is colloquially called the ‘Third Kingdom of Warkus’, as it was an independent nation of merchants and pirates for hundreds of years before it was annexed by the Kingdom of West Warcus. It’s a beautiful place with a cool, temperate maritime climate. It’s very green and has lots of nice stone Saifiri castles, which are distinct from the castles you’ll see in the mainland. Saifiri is also known for its excellent gin. The two major cities over there are the Sun Fort, which was the hub city of the West Warcusian invaders, and Peach Town, which is a bit more culturally ‘Saifiri’. They’re known for their local peaches (obviously) and peach wine. You won’t be playing in Saifiri as a part of the CAFA Cup, but it’s a nice place to explore if you want to spend some more time here.

Culture
Warkus has an increasingly cosmopolitan culture but is still predominantly populated by native Warkusians, who typically speak English and Welsh (though Welsh is less commonly spoken in the west). The north-eastern area, where you’ll find Reuchin, which is home to people with more Nordic-sounding surnames and you’ll hear people use modified loanwords from Nordic languages, such as ‘ffial’ for ‘mountain’ (from fjall) and ‘ffreuer’ for housewife (from housefreyja/freyja).

Warkus’s currency is the Wark, which uses a floating exchange rate. VAT is very high by the standards of most countries but it’s always included in the shelf price, we’re not that mean.

Stadiums
The first match in a given group will take place at the first listed stadium. The second match in a given group will take place in the second listed stadium and so on.

The First Elimination Finals and Second Elimination Finals respectively will take place in The Steelworks and Bird's Park (first match in the first stadium, second in the second – repeating for the Second Elimination Final).

West Warcus: Group A
The Steelworks Dinas Sand, West Warcus (Capacity: 72,400)

The home of local club Steel United, which was originally formed by steelworkers. It’s a steel brutalist dome.

Modern Park Llanwern, West Warcus (Capacity: 58,000)

A bit of a ‘no-nonsense’ stadium that was recently constructed in preparation for the upcoming Warkus Premier League and the amalgamated team that is Atheltic Llanwern. The name is a placeholder, but complex Warkusian bureaucracy means the team and the league haven’t picked a better name yet.

West Warcus: Group B
The Cheese Grater Dinas Sand, West Warcus (Capacity: 68,200)

Home to Steel United’s rivals CPD Dinas Sand. The atmosphere isn’t as good as it is at The Steelworks, but it’s nicer and more modern. Before the stadium got an official name Steel United fans called it ‘The Cheese Grater’ and CPD Dinas Sand fans reclaimed the name, so it stuck.

Perthcelyn Stadium Perthcelyn, West Warcus (Capacity: 55,000)

An open-air stadium smack bang in the city centre. It’s a little annoying to get in and out for that reason, but the close proximity to everything else is nice.

East Warkus: Group C
Bird’s Park Dinas Wen, East Warkus (Capacity, 71,100)

A relatively new venue with an intricate design featuring stylised birds around the outside of the stadium. It’s in the outer suburbs of Dinas Wen, so expect it to take over an hour to get there from the city centre.

The Forest Rows Verdanforest, East Warkus(Capacity: 39,500)

A quaint open-air stadium with a view. You can see the nearby forests from the top stands, neat!

East Warkus: Group D
White Park Dinas Wen, East Warkus (Capacity, 47,230)

The closest stadium to Dinas Wen’s city centre. It doesn’t fit perfectly with the city’s architecture, but it’s all white, which keeps it close enough for the city’s standards.

Ball Hall Reuchin, East Warkus(Capacity: 54,350)

A unique/weird stadium in a bit of a rectangular shape. It’s a little long for a football stadium, so the nickname ‘Ball Hall’ ended up becoming the official name after the previous sponsor refused to renew their naming rights.

Final Eight Stadiums
These stadiums will be used for the Winner’s Quarter Final, the Semi Finals, the Grand Final and the Third Place Playoff.

First Park Nyareth Newydd, Central Warkus (Capacity: 92,000)
This stadium will be used for the first Winner’s Quarter Final.

The first football stadium ever built in Warkus, home to the first football club known simply as Yr Hen Glwb (‘The Old Club’). It’s changed a lot over the years and these days it’s a perfectly serviceable stadium with all the modern amenities. They also have the National Football Museum inside.

Little Brother’s Colosseum Dinas Sand, West Warcus (Capacity: 93,450)
This stadium will be used for the second Winner’s Quarter Final and the second Semi Final.

Another relatively new stadium, built specifically to host international sporting events. Also another pejorative nickname that stuck: ‘Little Brother’s Colosseum’ was used to mock the construction of a large stadium which everyone currently sees as the ‘little brother’ to the Sand Dome, The Steelworks and The Cheese Grater.

Sand Dome Dinas Sand, West Warcus (Capacity: 97,530)
This stadium will be used for the first Semi Final and the Third Place Playoff.

A big stadium with a closed roof and air conditioning. Not as well looked after as some of the other big stadiums, since it’s rarely used, but the stands are made out of a fortified red clay. That’s pretty cool.

Dome of Virtue Nyareth Newydd, Central Warkus (Capacity: 110,000)
This stadium will be used for the Grand Final.

A very big stadium built to imitate the style of Dinas Wen’s Caer Lloer – so it’s very gothic and it’s jet black. Locals have mixed feelings about its appearance. It looks cool but having your city and country’s biggest stadium based on a castle from another city is a little embarrassing for some. The kind of place where you’d typically see cricket games. A little too big for anything but a Grand Final. Infamously considered a bit of a library because of the quiet Warkusians normally populating the stands.

World Champion Bulls look to add CAFA Cup to World Championship
World Cup Winners Audioslavia considered favourites for CAFA Cup, due to World Champions Audioslavia being World Champions

"No, I wouldn't say we go on about being World Champions too much" says world cup winning manager Salvador Monterroso in his first pre-tournament press-conference.
"Und Naatha would aah" he adds, in a high pitched voice, out of the corner of his mouth. Next to him, the World Cup trophy, dressed in a claret and green bobble hat and a claret and green scarf, jiggles as if saying the words itself.
"Oh, now, mister World Cup" says Salvador, pushing the trophy further away from him. "Sorry everyone", he says to the gathered reporters, "I forgot that I had this with me. It's... funnily enough... it's the World Cup trophy. We won it last year when we became World Champions.

"Oh this old thing?" says Vice Captain Goran Yurán, scorer of the only goal in the final of World Cup 99. He shows the framed picture next to him to the waiting journalists. "This is a photo of me kicking the ball in the last World Cup final. Actually...." he continues, "....I do believe this kick is the exact one from the goal I scored, back when we won the World Cup and became World Champions, isn't that right, World Cup Winning Manager Salvador Monterroso?"
"Yes it is, World Cup winning centre-back Goran Yurán, you are right there." says Monterroso. "We won the World Cup from that goal"
"We won the World Cup from that goal" nods Goran. "The World Cup trophy for that is right there, in our colours"
"World Champion colours" says Salvador.

Audioslavians around the world have been doing this routine for an entire year at this point. It is exactly as annoying as it sounds.

To save on everyone's sanity, we'll summarise the rest of the press conference: Audioslavia, who are World Champions, would like to add the CAFA Cup to their World Championship.

by **Bostopia** » Tue Aug 26, 2025 2:15 pm

Bostopia had seen enough.

Floods and floods of refugees, huddled masses all searching security to the east were overwhelming the Bostopian border and threatening to cause a humanitarian catastrophe. Despite outward appearances and misconceptions, Bostopia never had an issue taking in refugees from countries that refuge was genuinely sought from. Whilst Bostopia wasn't members of ACORN or AORTA, this was a sovereignty issue rather than an issue with foreigners.

While Bostopia had viewed the remnants of the former West Starblaydian nation as a failed state for some time (and that was mostly for reasons of being antagonistic,) the actual total collapse of the Krytenian Government and its inability to look after her people was enough for Bostopia to take a stand and protect the lives of the people there for purely humanitarian purposes. This was rather than doing what was expected and simply marching in with the intention of grabbing the borders on the map and pushing them northward as they went, taking the few roadsigns welcoming people to Bostopia along with them.

Details as to why and how Krytenia collapsed were thin on the ground, though to those ardently watching the nation it wasn't entirely unexpected. Bostopia had had an eye on the Government on her westward flank during the last CAFA tournament, when it was clear the rot had begun, and had spent most of that time and since hoping that some sort of stability would return, yet alas none did, much to the detriment of the region as a whole.

It wasn't actually the military that was pushing for an intervention - that call initially came from the Internal Ministry, who were concerned that emergency shelters in western Bostopia were getting close to capacity, and that shelters on the eastern side of the Stony Mountains would need to be opened as well.

Naturally, being a busy man, The Duke had had his aides attend an emergency meeting on his behalf which The Duke had called in his role as the Grand Duke of Newford, who was nominally the Bostopian Head of State. He would also have to attend as Head of Government, which was his role as Count of Newford. So, The Duke was to attend in his role as Head of Government, and he was represented in his role of Head of State by the twins. However, of course, The Duke also was too busy to attend in either role. Instead, the Grand Ducal crown was placed on a resplendent red cushion, which sat on a special podium at the head of the table where The Duke would have sat had he not been so busy.

'Listen' said Duchess Louise Murphy, calling over the din. Duchess Murphy was Duchess of Nantfax and Ducal Representative for the Internal Ministry. 'This has gone too far - the Krytenian state has collapsed, there's no-one collecting taxes, there's no-one building roads, there's no-one paying welfare benefits-' 'or handing out antacids' called a voice from the other side of the room. 'Precisely' the Duchess replied, recalling her knowledge of spicy Krytenian fare. 'The people must be suffering terribly' she said, before continuing. 'We've some reports that wealthier Krytenians are seizing the opportunity to start paying Krytenian troops - so far unpaid by the Government - to form private armies and "protect their lot". We’re already being bordered by a failed state, and it’s quickly becoming a failed state turning towards warlords and mercenaries.' 'As would Mertagne be' replied Duke Fensley, Duke of Granfair and Ducal Representative for the Foreign (Anaian) Ministry. He was accompanied by Count Robbyne, of County Brindleby, who tended to specialise in Bekkside affairs. Granfair was of course the state 'pre-emptively' attacked by Mertagne, kicking off the Bosto-Mertagnian War 14 years ago. 'We could use that to our advantage - pay the unemployed soldiers more than the locals and send them north to cause trouble that way.' 'Oh no, that won't do at all' a female voice said. 'Won't do at all that won't' a second voice said. The aides had decided to step in on The Duke's behalf, as he was conspicuously absent, claiming he was 'waiting for something', though he had left a rather handsome looking cardboard cut-out of himself in his favourite seat at the head of the table.

The Duke's favourite seat was an executive armchair made of strong Bostopian plastic and had a very comfortable memory foam layer between the usual seat padding and the leather on which the Duke would actually sit. The leather came from a cow who had been affectionately named 'Lucy' by a little girl who lived on a livestock farm, who would learn a few short months later not to get close to the cows because they inevitably ‘go and live’ on a ranch up north. In reality, the main problem with this cow was that it was not a cow but in fact a male born of a dairy cow, so rather worthless and always destined to end up filling a plate and its supple, supple skin turned into something useful like an executive chair. This one's leather had been dyed a tan colour and went well with the rest of the furniture in the room. The meat (as Bostopians weren't squeamish about eating largely useless male dairy cows and didn't waste meat) had fed a good number of Bostopian families, awkwardly enough including a little girl on a farm who had said it was 'very tasty' before once again asking where Lucy had gone and why she had 'funny udders'. Had Lucy been able to talk, he would have added that while the name Lucy was indeed a very nice name, he actually went by something more akin to unintelligible cow noises, not recognised by the human ear or brain as a name at all.

'If we start paying Krytenian soldiers, the Mertagnians will start paying Krytenian soldiers too' said the first aide. 'And if the Mertagnians start paying their own bunch of Krytenian soldiers, we'll have to start paying more Krytenian soldiers ourselves' said the second. 'Then we end up with a country in a civil war on our border and that won't do at all' said the first. 'A civil war on our border-' the second aide was cut off. 'Is it "won't do at all"?' the Duke of Granfair asked tiredly, sarcasm dripping off every spoken syllable. 'No' said the second twin forcefully. 'I was going to say a civil war on our border will only lead to more refugees heading towards Bostopia, and more of our national budget would have to go on things like emergency shelters, long-term housing, integration programs, potentially additional police forces, schools, hospitals, doctors, and so on.'

'Oh...' the Duke of Granfair responded, put into his place. 'My apologies.' 'Accepted!' The second aide said gratefully. 'Also it won't do at all to have a civil war on our border' she said, finishing off. 'So what do you two suggest?' asked Duchess Murphy, seeming genuinely interested in what the pair of them had to say. 'While a simple Bostopian landgrab is tempting' the first said, being followed by the second adding 'very tempting' whilst she was looking longingly at the map of Anaia on the opposite side of the situation room, whilst fantasising about how pretty it would all look if it were all one colour, and how much money we’d all save on printing if only one capital city needed to be marked, 'it simply isn't feasible - the other Anaian nations won't stand for a landgrab of this size.' There were murmurs of agreement from around the table. 'However' the second began, 'no-one protested when Mertagne took the Karodin Tetrarchy, despite us pointing the precedent it set...' she let those words fall on the room, making sure to note that for a newspaper article down the line. 'So perhaps we do have options on that front. Yet, Bostopia can't simply waltz into Krytenia alone, despite our obvious good intentions, which we must make sure our fellow Anaian nations are certain of, especially the Mertagnians. Having them on the same side as us here is a necessary.'

The Duke of Granfair pushed his papers into the centre of the table in fury at the thought of speaking to Mertagne, or any other Anaian nation, in any sense nearing co-operation. 'Are you seriously - seriously suggesting we take the same side as the Mertagnians, and cosy up to them?' The Duke of Granfair raged, slamming his fist on the table, pointing to Tarnlight Bay on the map being conveniently held up by the Count of Brindleby who was still sat beside him.

'We must seek a partner' the second aide interjected. 'The next strongest nation to us on this side of the Bekk is Mertagne - just about, anyway, and they do border Krytenia... the Mertagnians would be in no place to refuse either, considering the implications for their own security. Bostopian funded militias on their southern front? The Bostopian Armed Forces simply marching up to it? They'll have all manner of frights running through their mind at the minute, so why not take advantage of that and at least shore up our own security? All of us around the table know that simply marching into Krytenia and trying to take ownership of the place without some sort of agreement would see us bogged down in an unwinnable urban guerrilla warfare situation that wouldn’t advance any of the nation’s goals. It’s not so much taking the Mertagnians side as us pulling them around to Bostopia’s position. Have them on our side rather than us on their side, if that helps your thinking at all.’

After all that, the first aide paused a moment and then asked if there were 'any objections?' She had picked up the Grand Ducal crown from its cushion and placed it on her head whilst the map was being studied, thus symbolising she was now acting as the Head of State of Bostopia rather than in her role as Head of Government. There was nothing more than a shaking of heads from the others in the room. 'In which case, we shall make contact with Mertagne' she said.

'Shall I inform The Duke?' The second aide asked as the first placed the Grand Ducal crown back on its cushion, only to find the crown begin to rise into the air of its own volition, leaving the crowd of Dukes and Duchesses stunned as the podium beneath it slowly began to unfold. 'No need' said the unfolding podium. 'For it is I!' He cried. 'The Duke!'

The back porch, Ernie Stevenson’s house, Southern Tip, HOT-DAMN
A week before the start of CAFA 12 - 6:25 in the morning

It wasn’t talked about very much, but those that knew it called it “the hidden gem” of HOT-DAMN, that small sliver of land on the southern tip of Nova Calania. On the west side of that small sliver was New Hap City, already grown to a population of 450,000 people, all enjoying and thriving in their new hometown. The city had grown to be a nice little technological center. High-tech jobs and other businesses were sprouting up all over New Hap City. By day, it was a brilliant little hub of productivity. By night, the population were taking to some of the many bars around town - as you’d expect, given how, essentially, this little Hapiloppian colony in Anaia had grown up on the back of a beer league soccer team.

On the east side of the colony, though, was that “hidden gem” that not many people knew about. Those that lived there wanted to keep it that way. It was a tiny town of about 1,500 people known as “Southern Tip” - named as such because it represented the southernmost contiguous portion of Nova Calania. While the west side was wild at night, the east side was quiet and relaxed. Sure, you’d see people hanging out on their back porches, overlooking the beaches and the water off to the east. But by and large, the wild nightlife out west, and back in Esportivan Hapilopper, was nowhere to be found in Southern Tip. People would enjoy a nice night overlooking the beach, look out at the stars and take in the peacefulness.

That’s how Ernie Stevenson lived his life these days. On the southern tip of Southern Tip, the southernmost part of Nova Calania, three large beach houses sat proudly overlooking the beach, the sand and the sea. In the middle, Carl and Angela Stevenson, the proud parents of Drake and Ernie Stevenson, proud grandparents of Nathan, Patty and Kenny Stevenson. On the left, if you’re coming in from the water, Ernie and his wife Wendy lived with their twin children Nathan and Patty. On the right was the fastest couple in the multiverse, Drake and Taylor Stevenson, who lived with their child Kenny. It was so far away from the hustle and bustle of Hapilopper City, so far away from the loud lives from their past, and so far away from the craziness that had punctuated their lives for so many years. This was what they wanted.

Since he moved to HOT-DAMN, Ernie wanted to find a place where he could get some peace and quiet. He wanted a place where he wasn’t being bothered every minute of the day, every second of his life. He had grown tired of the life in Hapilopper City, one of the several reasons why he was more than happy to accept the job with the HOT-DAMN national team. He wanted a change of scenery. He found the little community of Southern Tip and realized the water slowly rustling on the shore, the handful of people walking on the beach, the stars at night, the horizon looking out to that small island just to the east, that was so much better, so much more peaceful, than living in a gigantic city of 40 million people, a city whose local cop shows doubled as the funniest sketch comedy show on television.

Quietly, Ernie convinced the rest of the Stevenson family to move over. His parents moved immediately. They sold the home they had lived in for the last 40 years and with the help of their two sons, had the middle house - the showcase house - built. Carl and Angela knew they could live out their autumn years peacefully and happily, on a beach they had long dreamt of.

It took Drake and Taylor a little more convincing. Both were still tied to huge, mega-million dollar deals with Team Blue, the NSSCRA and HASCAR team. Drake also had that magnificent house on Lake Eclipse outside Hapilopper City, too. But several things convinced the two: Drake could run his own racing team, something he always wanted to do, he could get his retirement plan set in stone, and Kenny could play with his cousins every day on the beach. That was good enough for Drake and Taylor.

But the biggest payoff of them all was right in front of Ernie. Wendy was still sound asleep. Ernie looked over to his parents’ house, and saw they were out on their porch, drinking a cup of coffee, enjoying what was about the most majestic, most gorgeous sunrise they had ever seen in their lives. A huge smile came about Ernie’s face as he realized his parents had gotten to see this beautiful sight - the reason he had come out here, the reason he wanted to get away from Hapilopper City. The peacefulness of a new day’s promise.

Ernie looked a little further back and spotted his big brother, Drake, leaning against the rail of his porch, drinking a cup of coffee of his own, taking in the sunrise. For all of them, it meant more than just the start of a new day.

It meant the start of something new. It meant the start of the next chapter in their lives. It meant great things were ahead. It meant life was going to be different.

For Ernie, this was a rare moment where he wasn’t completely busy with work. He was getting the HOT-DAMN team ready for CAFA 12, the major Anaian tournament taking place in Warkus. Ernie was treating this tournament was a tune-up to the landmark World Cup 100, what promised to be the biggest World Cup in history. Ernie wanted to throw everything - and he meant everything - at it, with the hopes that maybe, just maybe, HOT-DAMN could win that biggest sporting tournament in the history of the multiverse. He wanted to see how his team - complete with recent arrivals from the Mainline Hapiloppian squad - could do, first against some of Anaia’s best.

As he lounged back in his chair, he took a look at the schedule coming up in Warkus. HOT-DAMN had Legalese to start the CAFA, Cransia afterward, something called a “Space Laser Dinosaur Robot Pirate Land” and Bostopia for the last match day. Thinking this was some kind of joke, Ernie sent a text to Jimmy Eaton asking if this Space Laser Dinosaur Robot Pirate Land was real.

Ernie wouldn’t get a response for several hours. Jimmy, the owner of Laughing Pup Bar and Grill across the street from Brewery Stadium, as well as the director of the HOT-DAMN national team, was probably still passed out as the result of another wild night at the bar. Late nights at Laughing Pup could get a little bit wild, especially when people started to be overserved. And with many of Laughing Pup’s patrons living within walking distance of the bar, it wasn’t as if they had to drive - they could just walk back, sleep it off and get ready for another great day.

Eventually, Ernie would get that response - which consisted of a “lol” and some additional information.

“that’s where we ended up accidentally a few years ago,” Jimmy texted. “the beer leaguers played in space laser robot dinosaur pirate land for the first cafa we was in”

The Crown Commands for the Constitution

An Extract from the personal diary of Prince Edwin

Today's Events

After breakfast I stood with the Chancellor for his weekly briefing, only one topic of conversation of course! Following this I attended a meeting with the full Cabinet of Ministers to discuss the new Constitution. Digressions and tangents and arguments all to stress the differing views on their own preferred outcomes. When the topic of conversation occasionally returned to the process, there was actually broad agreement. It has been almost 20 years since the last Crown Command was amassed, in that instance to improve the Civil Contingency measures. Potent timing given the memorial that is in planning to mark the anniversary of the floods.

As I reflect now on my own feelings of the matter, I remain sceptical of the requirement for two bodies. Commands of the past have had no problem taking witness testimony and concluding on Observances that have adequately responded to the issue at hand. Drafting a Constitution is no doubt a matter of great import but shall it be necessary to have a Command for drafting and a Command for consultation? We shall see. The political leaders appear to believe that this is the best course of action, so we proceed.

I lunched with residents of the Golden Valley Care Home and retired in the afternoon for reading and correspondence in the study, library and blue drawing room. I was ~~joined lat~~ subjected to cousin Polly later on. Brian's latest exotic floral acquisition and Francie's boyfriend drama... or maybe it was the other way round. Anyway, quite how any one person can be so pessimistic eludes me. Next time I shall try to get her to say something positive, even only one good thing about anything even the food.

She stayed for supper ("tasteless" apparently). I was contemplating excuses to take myself off before she settled in for the evening. "I've got to take the dog for a walk" doesn't work so well when you've no dog. Maybe I should get a pet if only for occasions such as these. Anyhow no fictious pet or other excuse was required when the go ahead came to sign and publish the Crown Commands. I didn't care to listen to Polly's reply as I arose from the table and gave it the old "Important matters of state to attend". Perhaps no need for a pet after all?

The Crown Command for the Constitution Drafting
I command of the nation to be amassed, certain officials and persons with authoritative expertise, that they, in cordial conversation with one and other, shall seek to debate and draft a new Constitution for the nation. That this draft, when so finished, agreed and endorsed, be put to the people, that the nation, in full, may express individual support or or opposition. When the nation has ratified its support in aggregate for such a draft, it shall be recognised as the new Constitution of Hanalia.

This is my Command of the Nation, given in service thereof

Edwin, Prince of Hanalia

The Crown Command for the Constitution Examination
I command of the nation to be amassed, persons, including the young, that they, in cordial conversation with one and other, shall seek to consult and endorse a draft Constitution. They will have all such necessary access to witnesses, testimony and evidence as may be required. On finding a draft complete and agreeable to three quarters of their number, they shall endorse the draft to the nation.

This is my Command of the Nation, given in service thereof

Edwin, Prince of Hanalia

Matchday 1 Preview: Chromatika vs. Kimi-Suomi
Starting XI: Swanson (C); Van der Plas Bouwmeester - Lethbridge-Antonio, C. - Saburo; Hauptmeijer - Lethbridge-Antonio, J. - Lee - Mátyás; Þyrill; Jean-Baptiste - Baïe-Verte.

Three Goals of CAFA 12

1. Establish the Lethbridge-Antonio Twins.

There is no denying the mainstays that exist on Chromatika's roster. Eileen Jackson-Jones and Alija Mesic-Mizayaki aren't going anywhere for the next few cycles, but it's true that they are thirty-three. The Lethbridge-Antonio twins have been as advertised, and as they are still in their early twenties, giving them quality starts is the most important thing right now. Enter the CAFA - a tournament where it's nice if the Anomalies do well, but the more important thing is to give Chromatika more veteran players entering future World Cups. The Lethbridge-Antonio twins should get plenty of experience here, and that should help this team going forward.

2. Jacoliene Hauptmeijer.

Emerging as one of the best young wingbacks in Chromatika, Hauptmeijer turned some heads by staying with Urrhed FC in the most recent Red League season. As she is now shopping for a new team, she gets to start at right wingback in this tournament opposite Mátyás. It's of the utmost importance that Hauptmeijer develops as fast as possible, because behind Grayson Fillar, there isn't much. Even if the Anomalies crash out of the Group Stage, just getting Hauptmeijer to contribute will go a long ways.

3. Decide the Backup Keeper.

Jill Swanson did win the backup keeper spot from Jessika Aniston by the end of the qualifying stage, but with the way that the two continue to play each other in the Red League, it's always an open competition. Hera Courtois is the longtime answer behind them all - and there are others that will likely emerge - but if Aniston is given a chance, and if she performs well enough, there may be more competition left. Will Aniston be given the chance? If given it, can she actually capitalize on it?

Interdimensional Shame

Usually, if a nation gets to the final 16 nations in the World Cup, this is a very solid team. One that, even when faced with the best of the best football teams in the multiverse, they'll do a little better than completely crumbling, at least. This is why insane blowouts in the World Cup knockouts simply don't happen. You've earned your spot, and by earning your spot, you've proven that you don't deserve complete annihilation.

Unless, of course, you're a Seagull. And thanks to their complete and utter collapse in Jaglan, they were on an incredibly... shall we say exclusive list.

Northern Bettia 0-6 Ariddia
World Cup XXXVIII Round of 16

Starblaydia 1-7 Valanora
World Cup XXXIX Quarterfinal

Valanora 8-0 Lovisa
World Cup XLIII Semifinal

Sorthern Northland 6-0 Peisandros
World Cup XLVII Round of 16

Valanora 7-1 The Sylvanaes Queendom
World Cup LXI Final

Aleirave 1-7 Squornshelous
World Cup XCIX, Round of 16

It was almost like, after this happened in a World Cup Final of all things, Margaret realized she needed to cool down on the ridiculous results... but now that she was cooled down, the Seagulls became her first victims in nearly 4 decades. Not only this, but they were the only ones to lose on their opponent's turf to an opponent not named Valanora. (Believe it or not, all three of Valanora's 6+ goal knockout wins were held in Valanora. Talk about untitled elf game!)

After this match, the team couldn't return to Aleirave. They would be relentlessly hated on by whatever angry mob showed up to ask "how the HELL did you manage that one??". Instead, the only thing they could do is keep traveling the world, playing friendlies against terrible teams from increasingly-hard-to-pronounce names, as well as a few Nation vs. Club matches against Lliga 0 teams looking for a challenge. All their travel was still being paid for by the Eshian government, which understood how hard it would be to replace an entire team of players from an island as small as Aleirave — it was all for the best that they could, since King William was probably the only person in the universe crazy enough to keep bankrolling this squad after the Jaglan Incident.

Despite that folly, this team was actually heading into the CAFA Cup as a Pot 1 for the first time! However, this didn't mean they were going in with an easy time, as quirks of the seeding process always seemed to take hold. One of these quirks was that every group would have a bonus team in it, and of course, Aleirave's group would be the one with an extra Pot 1, because that was just their luck. They would have to play... Flavovespia. Not good!

As another weird quirk of how the draw shook down, the Seagulls were the only team in Group A which had never made it to a CAFA Cup final, of course, famously choking two semifinal appearances and finishing in 4th both times. Despite being a Pot 1 team, they were very much the underdogs in this group. This was a group of death, as tended to happen whenever the Seagulls were involved.

And so, the team was ready to head into Warkus, with 0 fanfare or even attention being paid by their fans back home. Finishing 1st would be a huge advantage given the weird format, but with the Flavovespian team appearing in their group, 2nd would be the realistic goal, and they needed 2nd in order to even make the knockouts. They had the skill to do it, but the question was whether they could keep it together and avoid more devastating collapses. Their first chance to avoid collapse would come against the Pot 2 (third seed) Pyazhnaya, arguably their best chance to prove that yes, they were one of the two best teams in this group. They just needed to not let past failures get the best of them.

The Double Ds – Episode 1: “Llanwern Calling”

Intro jingle: cheap synths, vuvuzela blast, and someone laughing too hard at their own joke, followed by the sound of a water bottle being dropped.

---

“We’re Here, Somehow”

Terentyev:
“Hellooooo Anaiaaa! Welcome to The Double Ds! I’m Danila Terentyev.”

Mukhametshin:
“And I’m the other Danila, Mukhametshin. Together we are—”

Both, out of sync:
“Double Ds!”

Terentyev:
“We tried to get that in sync about twelve times. The producer gave up, so you get chaos from the start.”

Mukhametshin:
“Just the way it should be. We’re reporting live from Llanwern, our glamorous new home for the next few weeks. By glamorous, I mean it’s got beaches, pubs, and at least three places that claim to have the ‘best’ fish and chips in Warkus.”

Terentyev:
“None of them have beaten Pyazhnayan borscht, but I’ll give them credit for trying. Llanwern’s got a nice coastal vibe, though. The sea breeze makes training sessions less like cooking in a sauna, unlike what we’ll face in Dinas Sand later. No joke, you can fry an egg on the pavement there. And someone probably has.”

Mukhametshin:
“Yeah, I’ll be sticking to the water bottles and shade. Our camp here feels oddly like home. Fishing boats in the harbor, gulls yelling at 5am, half the squad already sunburned—yep, this is basically Pyazhnaya with more sunscreen. The team thought we’d just stick to football. Instead, you get us, two professional athletes with the sense of humor of twelve-year-olds and a Wi-Fi connection. What could probably go wrong?”

---

“Group of Doom or Just Doom?”

Terentyev:
“So, the group draw. What can we say? Who did we anger?”

Mukhametshin:
“Clearly all the football gods. We’re in Group A with Aleirave, Pacitalia, Ochre Islands, and, oh right, the World Cup champions Flavovespia. No pressure.”

Terentyev:
“Yeah. Two Pot 1 nations in one group. That’s like buying a lottery ticket and instead of winning money, you win a lifelong tax audit.”

Mukhametshin:
“But hey, we like being the underdogs. Pyazhnaya’s made two CAFA finals before, so we’ve shown we can handle pressure. Even if those finals didn’t exactly… end the way we wanted.”

Terentyev:
“Painful memories. But look, if we get out of this group, nobody—nobody—can say we didn’t earn it. We open at The Steelworks against Aleirave. That stadium is literally a brutalist steel dome. It looks like someone dropped a spaceship in the middle of Dinas Sand.”

Mukhametshin:
“And if we survive that, we face Flavovespia at Modern Park in Llanwern. New stadium, very clean, very shiny, but the name is boring. ‘Modern Park’ sounds like a budget theme park. Where’s the roller coaster?”

Terentyev:
“Honestly, the roller coaster is our back line when Vlad Ilyushin decides to dribble.”

Mukhametshin:
“Then we rest for a bye, because the gods knew we’d need therapy. After that: Pacitalia, masters of possession. And finally, Ochre Islands, who are annoyingly good at making life miserable. Basically, every game is a final. What could possibly go wrong, right?”

Terentyev:
“Everything. But that’s the fun part. We annoyed the hell out of everybody at the World Cup, so hey, electric boogaloo. Or something…”

---

“Squad Roast Session”

Mukhametshin:
“Alright, time to humble our beloved teammates. Let’s run through the squad list, Double Ds style.”

Terentyev:
“Goalkeeper: Elisey Moroshkin. Great reflexes, solid positioning… but the man still travels with a stuffed bear named Boris. He claims it’s for luck, but I think Boris is secretly calling the defensive line.”

Mukhametshin:
“Defenders: Serafima Vakhrusheva, our left-back. She has two moods: calm, or ready to legally murder a winger. If you see her smile on the pitch, run.”

Terentyev:
“Then there’s Fyodor Solodnikov, only twenty but plays like he’s fifty. And Vladislav Ilyushin—Vlad’s dependable until he tries to order food in a foreign language. In Llanwern, he asked for sushi, got pickled herring on toast, and cried. In public.”

Mukhametshin:
“Right-back Ayrat Bilyaletdinov—fast, experienced, and convinced that pineapple on pizza should be punishable by law. That’s the kind of leadership we need.”

Terentyev:
“Midfield. Aleksandra Novoseltseva: brilliant passer, midfield general… but goes to bed at 8:30 like a grandma. Misha Retyunskikh: solid, but insists on listening to 90s techno before matches. And of course, me on the right.”

Mukhametshin:
“You mean the guy who gets distracted by every squirrel in sight? Tactical discipline: zero.”

Terentyev:
“At least I don’t fall over my own laces in training, Mukhametshin.”

Mukhametshin:
“Moving swiftly on. Forwards: Maksimilian Kartashov. Scores goals, but packs more hair gel than kits. And me—Danila Mukhametshin—the perfect striker. The squad’s shining star. The reason you all tune in.”

Terentyev:
“Perfect at tripping over cones, yes. Shine on, diamond.”

---

“Closing Chaos”

Mukhametshin:
“So there you have it. We’ve settled into Llanwern, we’re in the Group of Doom, and our squad is equal parts talent and comedy show.”

Terentyev:
“Next time we’ll report back from our opener against Aleirave in the big steel spaceship stadium. Either we’ll be celebrating a famous win, or recording this podcast through tears.”

Mukhametshin:
“Or both. Pyazhnaya style.”

Outro jingle: vuvuzelas, someone yelling “VODKAAAA!”, the sound of a dropped water bottle again.

Midday, at a pub in the outer suburbs of Dinas Wen

"I can't stand that blimmin' logo. The nice CAFA purple replaced with baby diarrhoea green, what a joke." says Robert.

"Couldn't they just've made that swoosh thing half-green and half-yellow instead? That would've been kinda cool.” suggests William.

"The green shouldn't be on there at all, they don't even play football over here, not really!" Robert shouts back.

“I kinda like it, to be honest, it’s nice to see the flag’s colours on there. Showing a bit of national pride for once. Besides, the Mertagnians changed the CAFA purple too, so there’s precedent for it.” interjects Loras, while the others are downing their pints of low-alcohol orange-flavoured beer.

“The Mertagnians still kept it purple, just a different shade, you know that’s not the same thing.” William points out. It's true, it isn’t the same thing.

“Look, we should be happy it’s not more of that flat, boring drivel that’s ruining all our other iconic logos and badges. I was half-expecting the FA to ditch the whole cup logo and just go with a duo-tone number 12. You know, like with what happened with Madam Coffee the other week. Got rid of the coffee and the madam in their logo. Ridiculous.” says Loras. His pint’s gonna get warm with all this yapping.

“Even that would require effort. You can tell the FA has no clue what they’re doing. That whole ‘random pot’ gimmick? I bet they just screwed up the number of pots and made that all up at the last minute. And that announcer, he announced Hanalia twice!” argues Robert.

“It was the unenthusiastic way he said all the names that ticked me off. ‘H-O-T-D-A-M-N’, really? You read out a country name like HOT-DAMN and can’t say it with a little pizazz? You’re putting Anaia to sleep announcing HOT-DAMN?” says William.

“Probably thought it’d offend someone. Political correctness’s gone too far.” Loras says, cringing after taking a sip of his now-warm pint.

Valverde walked up to the door, twisted the handle, and pulled.

The door didn't budge. It was quite a heavy door. He pulled harder. It still didn't open.

Why was he even here, anyway? Yes, he knew the new manager had said that he wanted to meet with each player individually, but Valverde knew that barring some strange scenario where the fate of the game was already firmly decided, or a horrific number of injuries occurring, he was not going to play a single minute. This felt like a waste of time, for both him and the manager.

Maybe the door was locked? Valverde rustled through his pockets, trying to find something - a paperclip, or something else similarly thin and easily manipulated - that could unlock the door. Perhaps whoever was in there previously - Scarlett Fenton, he believed - had accidentally locked the door on their way out. His search proved fruitless, however, finding nothing that could help him break in.

Why was he even here, anyway? For what purpose was he on this planet? Being a slightly above average defender for a mediocre team in a subpar league? He thought everyone was meant to have an impact on the world, but what change would he cause? Was this one long prank? Was everything he knew a lie?

Valverde snapped out of his panic to realize that embarrassingly, the handle read 'push'. This was going to be a long afternoon.

League formats - something you don't always think about but it's part of the flavour of the entire league. Maethoru versus Aminey happens four times a year, which is too often for some, but it does mean that the Top League's impression as a whole to outsiders is at least 11.7% 'oh right, there's that green club playing that blue club'. The only thing that more foreign fans have gone on record to say about the Top League is 'haha 0-0', and in distinct third is 'ew, that format'. It's true, it's not just a home-and-away format, there's more going on. We get it, it's difficult. It's a two-stage format, there's a league after the league, and yeah, it's only for those with a refined taste - but we can change that.

That is why the KFA has given an undisclosed amount of Koronas to an undisclosed consultancy and advisory firm in Ilohbonu for a new logo - oversimplified, just how everyone likes it - a new identity - don't worry, it'll have blue and green - and a new format.

After a few months of deliberation, and sending eye-watering quotes to the KFA, the Ilohbonu firm have announced their first milestone: a new name for the league. What was previously known as the Ko-orenite Top League will henceforth be known under a snazzier name. A pricey function in the KFA headquarters in Maethoru, invitations to all the coaches and captains of clubs in the top three tiers of the pyramid, pop revelation V!olet responsible for the musical intermezzos all leading up to the grand reveal. From now on, the top tier of Ko-orenite football will be known as...

The Ko-orenite Top League.

Hold for applause.

Money well spent that will lead into part two of the operation: a new format. Currently: twelve clubs, home and away, then split into two groups, who play each other home and away again. Top teams play top teams four times a year, and with just 32 games a season, hardly any schedule congestion. The firm's inspiration? A gridiron league with 12 teams in two divisions, two nearly-defunct rugby competitions with the same format and playoffs, a cricket setup that frankly nobody wants to touch now it 'just works', and then a baseball and ice hockey competition with too many matchdays to replicate. Baseball and its division setup, ice hockey and its open table leading to 50% of the field making the playoffs.

The KFA's two requirements? No end-of-season playoffs, and most matches should matter.

The current format does exactly those two things. Nothing more, nothing less.

The Ilohbonu firm's only other possible source of inspiration? A two-stage basketball season with playoffs. And with the other options out of the window - oh boy, strap in.

[align=center]Starting As Holders Again

Flavovespia return to CAFA Cup 12, holders and the top seeds. After a World Cup defence that ended in the Quarter Final stage, Flavovespia and Victor Adeyemo will hope to go a bit further in this title defence. Some will be looking back at CAFA Cup 4 and 5, and hoping for Flavovespia to make it a double of back to back CAFA Cup wins.

Flavovespia go into this tournament with a strong, experienced squad in a lot of positions. There was the speculation of youngsters being called up, with some breakout stars in the Super League. But for now it seems Victor Adeyemo is relatively content with the World Cup 99 squad, only a few changes made.

Now with a spectacular 300+ Caps, Jonathan Bagshaw remains as captain, even if a few speculate how much stamina he still has to play at his top level. In the opening press conference, the quiet captain was again coy about his future, simple stating “I’ll keep going for as long as I feel capable, and the manager feels I’m capable”.

A tricky group of Pyazhnaya, Pacitalia, Ochre Islands, Aleirave lies ahead for Flavovespia. A team from each pot, and then a wildcard, Flavovespia were unlucky that 4th seeds Aleirave join Group A. Additionally, the group winners get a second chance after the Quarter Finals if they lose, and only 2nd also progresses. 12 teams are out after the group stages, a fate Flavovespia wish to avoid.

After a bye, Flavovespia begin their campaign against Pyazhnaya in Warkus. With Pyazhnaya losing 3-5 to Aleirave, they’ll need points to keep their campaign alive. Flavovespia will have to work hard to break them down, but they have a strong attack. Can Flavovespia add a 4th purple star to their kit?

A win against the host nation to start CAFA Cup 12

Dinas Wen, East Warkus - This year, CAFA Cup is held in Warkus, a nation that we don't really know about. They seem to be an old nation with lots of history but we barely noticed them on the sporting scene. This year, Nova Calania is in a group with two big nations located by the Sea of Champions, Audioslavia and Chromatika. We have Kimi-Suomi in our group, actually the westernmost nation in Anaia, and the hosts, Warkus. Matchday 1 was against Warkus and we barely beat them by the score of 4-3. Warkus were the first team to score, at the 4th minute, when Colin Emrys made a cross to Llewelyn Rose who kicked the ball past Serge Bleau-Bean. Rodrigo Guénette-Velazquez tied the game at the 19th minute when he scored after receiving the ball from Mei Qi Xiong. Nathan Fauteux-McGrath steals the ball from a Warkusian player at the 25th minute and passed it to Charlotte Gibouleau-Beaudoin who made a short pass to Rose Van der Jagt who kicked the ball into the net. Nathan Fauteux-McGrath is one of the best player in Nova Calanian history and would have many more assists if a 2nd assist was counted like in hockey. Llewelyn Rose tied the game at the 38th when he scored on a penalty kick after Wlodzimierz Wolkowicz tripped Max Tarbutt in the penalty area. The score at halftime was 2-2.

The Tapirs had a corner kick at the 56th minute. Nathan Fauteux-McGrath kicked the ball in the penalty area, Nathan McCaskill jumps and heads the ball past Daniel Benjamin. Nova Calania increased their lead at the 68th minute when Charlotte Gibouleau-Beaudoin passed the ball to Frédérique Goudreau-Luneau who heads the ball into the net. Warkus cut Nova Calania's lead at the 74th minute when Sara Maxwell, who subbed in earlier, passed the ball to Colin Emrys who kicked it and it's a goal. This goal was a mess! Everyone on Warkus team was out of position. Maxwell was like a central striker and Emrys was somehow on her side like a winger! Llewelyn Rose almoost tied the game at the 86th minute but, luckily, Serge Bleau-Bean made a fantastic save. The final score was 4-3 Nova Calania.

Nova Calania allowed too much goals but we came away with the win and that's what matters. Chromatika beat Kimi-Suomi 3-1 and Audioslavia had a bye. In the standings, Nova Calania and Chromatika are tied but the Anomalies have a better goal difference. On matchday 2, Nova Calania will face the World Champions, Audioslavia. Both teams played each other in the final stage of CAFA Cup 11 and the Bulls beat the Tapirs 1-0. The starting XI will be unchanged.

A Very Aleiravan Start
Pyazhnaya 3-5 Aleirave

Seagull-ball is a beautiful thing to watch when it's being executed flawlessly. Heck, even when it has its flaws, it's quite unlike anything you'd see this side of Farfadillis. However, in the past, expectations of performance from Aleiravan football squads had forced Haulafo and company to rein it in just a little. Don't be irresponsible against teams you should be able to beat anyway, because it may just end up costing you in the long run.

Now that nobody in Aleirave has any expectations of this squad, or even knows they've run off to Warkus to keep tilting at windmills, Seagull-ball gets a true chance to shine. There is nothing left but attack, just run at the ball, let the match flow freely, and at least do yourselves proud even if nobody else gives a crap. They were playing less like the Aleirave that usually showed up to World Cup Qualifying with high hopes, and more like the team that played CAFA II and III with nothing else on their minds but the next match down the line, and dear Maggie that was good.

Just like their match against Squornshelous which had ended so disastrously, eight goals ended up making it past the posts... but this time, 5 of those goals were by the Seagulls, meaning their CAFA Cup was starting off with a win that their morale desperately needed. However, this is just the calm before the storm, as things were about to get a lot crazier.

Remember how every other team in Aleirave's group made it to a CAFA final at some point? Well, every team they had to play past this point has won a CAFA Cup, and that was all going to start against CAFA IX champions Pacitalia.

Pacitalia started their campaign by absolutely blowing the Ochre Islands out of the water with a massive 6-2 score, something that would make any team nervous to play them next... but for Aleirave? "Absolutely nothing to lose." Haulafo said. There was nothing riding on any of this for the Aleiravans, a team that now found themselves unloved by their own nation, an island ashamed of their former stars. They were unfazed by the Pacitalians, and ready to take on whatever they could hit them with.

On paper, with Pacitalia being the 4th seed in this group, ranked 13th in the region, this wouldn't actually be as scary as the scoreline against the Ochres would suggest... but the 6-2 showed that no matter how low their rank looked, this was a team in amazing form, and it would take a lot to overcome them. But for Aleirave? They were ready to play their best and not let anything stop them.

Two assists. One goal. Utter dominance. Jacoliene Hauptmeijer has catapulted her campaign to be the next starter for the Chromatika Anomalies after Grayson Fillar retires with a statement performance against Kimi-Suomi. The twenty-three year old made smart runs, committed to creative passes, and was decisive when she had chances in front of the goal. With the Lethbridge-Antonio twins allowing the Chromatik defense to settle down after an early gaffe, the CAFA squad grew into the game and ended up winning rather comfortably.

"She is continuing to show that she's someone who can absolutely contribute in a major way," stated one pundit after the match, "There isn't going to be any way that Urrhed FC will be afford to keeper her after the current season, and it will be fascinating to see where she ends up as she needs to keep developing."

In one notable passage of play, Jacoliene actually made it past two defenders before contributing to the assist, showing that she has been making forays in the one area of the game that people have had complaints about - not being able to get by people.

"I thought I saw the field well today," she admitted, "I've been trying to get better at reading the flow of the game and communicating with my teammates to see exactly how to get involved, and it's nice to see that the things that we have been working on are starting to truly click."

Chromatika takes on hosts Warkus next before taking on the top two seeds in defending World Champions Audioslavia and the United States of Nova Calania.

"It's good to get on a hot start and keep the momentum going," stated Jill Swanson, "this is a chance for all the players here to get the experience that's going to help us going forward, and we're not going to take it lightly."

The Double Ds – Episode 2: “Goals Everywhere, Hope Nowhere”

Intro jingle: slightly broken accordion, someone yelling “WE SCORED THREE THO!” and then the inevitable dropped water bottle sound.

---

“Five in, Three out”

Terentyev:
“Welcome back to The Double Ds! Episode two, baby. I’m Danila Terentyev—”

Mukhametshin:
“—and I’m the better Danila, Mukhametshin. And we’re recording after our glorious, historic, never-before-seen 3–5 thriller against Aleirave!”

Terentyev:
“Yeah, never before seen because usually when you score three goals, you’re supposed to win. Just saying.”

Mukhametshin:
“Apparently defence is optional in Warkus. Steelworks Stadium? More like Sieveworks. Eight goals in one game. That was less football and more like watching toddlers in a ball pit.”

Terentyev:
“Excuse you, toddlers don’t pull off a backheel like Kartashov did for my assist.”

Mukhametshin:
“Here we go again, Mr. I Got An Assist. Do you want a medal?”

Terentyev:
“Yes. And snacks.”

---

“Special Guest: Our Wall with Holes”

Mukhametshin:
“Today we’re joined by a very special guest. He’s tall, he’s brave, and he just conceded five goals in ninety minutes—please welcome our number one, Elisey Moroshkin!”

Moroshkin:
“…thanks, I guess? Why am I here?”

Terentyev:
“Because the people deserve answers, Elisey. What happened back there?”

Moroshkin:
“What happened is that Aleirave’s forwards were faster than lightning and my defence sometimes went on coffee break. You try facing 20 shots in one game.”

Mukhametshin:
“Don’t blame us defenders. Ilyushin only left you alone with three strikers twice.”

Moroshkin:
“Only twice?”

Terentyev:
“Look, it’s character-building. Anyway, Elisey, we’ve been dying to ask. Did Boris the Bear get to watch the game?”

Moroshkin:
(very serious) “Yes. He has his own seat on the bench.”

Mukhametshin:
“Unbelievable. The bear’s seen more of the match than half our midfield.”

Terentyev:
“Don’t talk about Misha like that.”

---

“The Flavovespia Problem”

Mukhametshin:
“Right. Next up: Flavovespia. World champions. Number one in the world. Absolute nightmare.”

Terentyev:
“I checked the odds—apparently we’re ranked just below ‘a meteor hitting the stadium mid-match.’”

Moroshkin:
“Thanks for the confidence, guys.”

Mukhametshin:
“Hey, you’ll be fine. Just stop every shot. Easy.”

Terentyev:
“Yeah. If Elisey concedes only four, that’s progress.”

Moroshkin:
“…remind me why I agreed to this podcast?”

Mukhametshin:
“Because we promised snacks. Which we ate.”

---

“Squad Gossip Segment”

Terentyev:
“Alright, quickfire gossip round. Elisey, who’s the worst roommate on away trips?”

Moroshkin:
“Oh, definitely Fyodor Solodnikov. He watches true crime documentaries until 3am and then just stares at the ceiling whispering ‘that’s interesting.’”

Mukhametshin:
“Terrifying. And who spends the longest in the shower?”

Moroshkin:
“Maksimilian Kartashov. His hair routine is, like, a science project. I think he uses more products than the entire women’s team combined.”

Terentyev:
“Confirmed. Last week I tripped on one of his bottles and sprained a toe.”

---

“Closing Thoughts of Doom”

Mukhametshin:
“So, to recap: we lost 3–5, Elisey is traumatized, Boris the Bear still undefeated, and we’re about to face the world champs.”

Terentyev:
“Prediction time! Danila, what’s the score?”

Mukhametshin:
“Pyazhnaya 17, Flavovespia 16. Total chaos. I score all 17. Golden Boot secured.”

Terentyev:
“I’m going with a more realistic Pyazhnaya 2, Flavovespia 2, meteor 1.”

Moroshkin:
“I hate both of you.”

Mukhametshin:
“See you after the Flavovespia game, folks. If we survive.”

Outro jingle: someone badly playing a trumpet, followed by the sound of a vuvuzela duel fading into static.

On a packed train to White Park, Dinas Wen on the day of the Warkus v Chromatika game

“Do you reckon we have a chance?” asks William.

“No” says Robert, “Yes” says Loras.

“Okay, how the heck do you see that happening?” Robert says, turning to Loras.

“Well, we only lost our first game 3-4 and we’re playing on home turf and we literally just played our last game at the same ground, so…” Loras points out, pausing his list because he feels like those are good enough reasons to think Warkus could win.

“And? That first game was its own thing. Scoring from a penalty, that extremely sweaty and weird goal late on. Besides, Chromatika are a stronger side. Don’t be surprised to see them run rings around us.” argues Robert.

“Wait, stronger side?” asks Loras, “Really? The Nova Calanians are better in CAFA. They finished fourth last time while Chromatika bombed out of the group stages with a single win. The ‘first’ group stage, I mean.”

“Exactly, it’s a winnable game.” says Loras.

“Who cares how they did last time around? They made the Round of 16 in the World Cup. They’re the 28th best team in the world. They won their first game comfortably. What exactly have we accomplished that makes you so confident? Losing our first game and not getting slaughtered? A couple of fluky wins in the qualifiers and the Cup of Harmony?” Robert argues.

“Yeah, but like, competition history matters. They’ve never won the CAFA Cup. Maybe this is a bogey tournament or something.” Loras suggests.

“History matters? What’s our history then, genius? One game, one loss?” Robert says, sounding increasingly agitated. A member of the train’s crew walking past has to politely tell them to lower their voices.

Robert continues, “Besides, Chromatika are looking good this year. If they play like they did in their first game, we’re not winning. Or drawing.”

“Look, I’m just saying we could win. Or draw. It’s not rational to be this pessimistic. There’s a non-zero chance we beat Audioslavia, you know. And Chromatika aren’t champions of the world.” says Loras.

“Rob, do you think we can win any of the games in our group?” asks William.

“Could beat Kimi-Suomi. I’m actually really looking forward to that game.” Robert admits.

“I’m really looking forward to visiting a stadium that isn’t painted all white.” says Loras.

The Martian Independent Republic 3 - 2 Hanalia
Jowling 16', 39', Caballi 84' | Reyes 45+1', 77'

It was rather warm in Warkus, especially compared to what Giovanni Caballi was used to, but that wasn't too off-putting. He'd played in what? Eleven countries? No, ten, because he hadn't actually played in one of the matches during qualifying last cycle. This would be his eleventh, and it wasn't setting any records for extreme weather.

Momentum in the game was shifting, though, and he knew it. Rohan had been ever so kind as to put the Spiders two goals up (his wording, at the break), but the Hanalians had drawn one back right before the halfway mark, and now the game was, for the moment, a draw. But with Enwye exhausted and two defenders one yellow away from expulsion, it certainly didn't feel like the game was equal.

It would only take one slipup from either side, Caballi knew, but on paper, at least, the Spiders were less likely to make that error. Less thinking and more doing, though, he realized as he gave the ball away to a Hanalian defender. Giovanni, in the moment, wanted his error to not lose the game for the Spiders more than he wanted the Spiders to win. Katzenburg was reliable as ever, however, so things were fine.

More than fine. Caballi got the ball back, by a miracle he was onside, but he was faster than the defender, and that was that. The goalkeeper never stood a chance, diving the wrong way, and the MIR was in the lead once again. Could they maintain it? Yes. For once, the defence showed up when they had to, and there it was. The Spiders had won.

That win was nice enough, and Caballi was happy to have scored the winning goal, but to be honest, all he wanted was a cold drink. The miracle of refrigeration was the only one he believed in.

"Hi, I'm Hngjuilou, team and project lead at ThAKh, and here to introduce you to the formats we've worked on. We're going to make it a little interactive for you: each team member comes forth with their favourite format of the bunch, and then we'll leave the selection to you."

Underpaid intern number one enters the room. Visibly recently graduated. Unaware that the hourly rate they're billed for is nearly triple their actual hourly wage. Welcome to consultancy - and especially ThAKh as one of the big two firms. "Uhm, dear KFA executives, my name is Narina, and I will take you through proposal number one. Remember that the best name for the league was the most obvious one? I introduce you to the best format... the most obvious one. You want meaningful games? Twelve teams in the league will give you close fights, especially if we sort them into two columns of two towards the end of the season. Sounds familiar? Yes - that's because it's the current format. It's already perfect, it doesn't need more than that. I'll spare you the details, you already know them. I can rattle off some of the benefits: close matches, forging a group of 8-9 teams that can challenge in the IFCF so it doesn't matter too much who qualifies, no playoffs or finals at the end of the season jeopardising the league stage. The main drawback is that there are few teams in the top flight so there's a bit of a canyon between the Top League and the second division - but we've seen some stellar promotions by teams that immediately finish top 6 so the difference isn't big enough to warrant action. Narina out."

Narina walks back to her spot amidst the other interns, Hngjuilou gestures for the next to step into the centre of the room.

"The previous presentation, not really a paradigm shift, I dare say. I'm Gimbaru and I'm taking you through, well, maybe not the boldest proposal, but definitely one that should be considered. Twelve teams might be a bit small when it comes to building a bigger base of contenders and softer landings into the second division - sure, we've seen some cool promotions, but for all of those romantic stories we've also seen some stinkers. Most teams relegate right back. So moving to a 20-team league means we include most of the second tier - our 12 Top League teams plus the top eight of the next best level - and let most of them build a squad with a bit more money. We can also move to 20-team tiers across the top two or three levels, opening up the semi-pro opportunities to more teams, let them slowly build without the current grueling 12-team thing where, every season, half the tier turns over. Currently there's no incentive for smaller teams to invest: in a 12-team Third Division, for instance, up to four promote, and four relegate, meaning that only four teams stay where they are. The odds to move up from the Fourth aren't great, but the odds to move back down from the Third are massive. Quite a few teams have landed in financial trouble after selling the farm just to get into the professional top three tiers - that's not great. Consider proposal two: home-and-away, 20 teams, more stability!"

Hngjuilou now joins Gimbaru in the middle of the room. "Ladies and gentlemen, that's been our two obvious solutions. If you want to join me now, in the realm of what's possible but where no association has dared to venture before..."

Bagshaw Bags A Double

If there was any doubt on the influence of Jonathan Bagshaw, he cast that aside in this game, leading from the front. The holders had brought a good travelling contingent of fans to Warkus, and they were treated to a thriller. Only 5 minutes in, a quick attack from Flavovespia saw Anthony Lane break clear, he swung in a cross, and Jonathan Bagshaw was there to head in. 1-0 Flavovespia, a flying start.

However it was just 6 minutes later that Pyazhnaya had the lead. Almost from kick-off, a quick attack left Flavovespia flat-footed. The first shot in was parried away by Peter Marriott, but he was helpless to stop the rebound going in. Marriott was to blame though for the second, a fairly tame shot from the edge of the box bounced off his wrists and flew in. Maybe a mistimed dive, there was no deflection and a bit of a baffling error, but it made it 1-2 after 11 minutes. A toiling first half saw Flavovespia press for an equaliser, but they went in behind.

The second half saw Flavovespia pushing on, but through the centre they were struggling. Lane and Bagshaw were creating good chances from out wide, but an end product was lacking. Pyazhnaya had a few chances to really press their advantage, but Marriott found his form again. But just as the win looked to be going to Pyazhnaya, a double whammy struck them with 15 minutes to go. A long ball by Stan Scott-Wilson flew past the defence and into the path of Peter Langdon. He rounded the keeper with his first touch and finished with ease. Then, 4 minutes later, Jonathan Bagshaw cut inside from the wing, before a curling shot hit the top corner of the net. 3-2 Flavovespia with a little more than 10 minutes left.

Flavovespia would hold on, with a gutsy defensive display in the final moments. This was a bit of a grind of a win, but Flavovespia secure 3 points, with Pacitalia next. Some good displays, not least from Bagshaw, but some room for improvement still.

We beat the champions!

Reuchin, East Warkus - It's unbelievable! Nova Calania beat the world champions 1-0! And karma hitted Audioslavia because a referree is somehow responsible of the goal. Nova Calania attacked at the 33rd minute when Charlotte Gibouleau-Beaudoin made a short pass to Rodrigo Guénette-Velazquez who kicked the ball but Hein Hélder makes the save. Uriah Malcolm takes the rebound and kicks the ball in direction of Cam Hooper but the ball hits the referree's leg and it becomes lose. Rodrigo Guénette-Velazquez takes the lose ball and kicks it into the net. It's a goal and the referree has a decisive assist! Neither team scored after this goal and Nova Calania won 1-0!

Chromatika beat Warkus 3-2 and both Nova Calania and Chromatika are in 1st place with two wins in two games but the Anomalies having a better goal difference. All other teams have yet to win a match but two of them (Audioslavia and Kimi-Suomi) only played one game. On matchday 3, the Tapirs have a bye while Audioslavia and Chromatika will play each other at White Park in Dinas Wen. During the off day, Nova Calania's team is planning to visit Dinas Wen's historic district before heading to Nyareth Newydd and visit the national museum before attending to a concert at the jazz club. The team will sleep in Nyareth Newydd and come back to Reuchin on the next morning and practice for matchday 4 against Chromatika.

This cycle, the World Cup of Jalkapallo enters its 100th Edition - the one hundredth time we will decide the best football team in the world. It should be a time for celebration, a time for everyone to look back on history for inspiration and for glory. But for Kimi-Suomi and its Huuhkajat, its best moments were thought to be behind them. Esko Laaksonen had been the leader of this team for so long but after all this time, many felt that our best days were behind us. That was until the last Cup of Harmony, as the Huuhkajat managed to pull off a minor revival to not only finish Top 4...but to end up with 3rd, taking a Bronze Medal home with them. Somehow, our Cabinet is more sparkly than that of JYK-inen...despite us only having a 40% win rate in our entire history. Now, we enter this Centenary looking to make some serious noise...and maybe, just maybe, break that glass ceiling at long last and make the Big Dance.

But before all of that, it was time for CAFA 12 - this time coming from Warkus. Ball Hall in Reuchin would play host to the opening contest of our campaign...and it was up against Chromatika. Fucking Chromatika. This group was always going to be a tough one, but the fact we had to face Alina Khabibullina and The Anomalies on the opening day did not make for good reading at all...and it proved that way in the contest. Jacoliene Hauptmeijer was just a beast in the contest, scoring once and assisting Kaytlyn Jean-Baptiste twice to just become the focal point of the day...and even when Ebba Persson grabbed a consolation, that was all it was. 3-1 to the better team.

And so, we enter a break...looking for answers and wondering if this group was doomed right from the off.
Warkus, the hosts of this tournament, will be our biggest test. Because if we cannot win this one, we are in serious trouble.
NOSTA KUIN HUUHKAJAT!
