THE ARCHREGIMANCY BRINGS YOU

THE MONASTIC WORLD CUP 55 SQUAD

First of all, everyone except newbies knows that the Archregimancy is a nation of Eastern Orthodox Christian monks from an alternate reality, right?

The World Cup 55 squad builds on the surprisingly successful squads used since the post-52 CoH team, which claimed to be undefeated in tournament finals across the post-WC52 CoH and World Cup 53 finals after being otherwise undefeated but knocked out on penalties both times. This run ended in WC54, but after the humiliating failure to qualify for WC52, the Monastic Football Association has been encouraged by the slow and steady improvement back to 14th in the rankings. A couple of minor changes have been made to the squad.

COACH -
Fr. Sozon the Simple: A popular holy man and hermit. Not really renowned for his intellect, and was once said to 'probably think 4-4-2 is something to do with an abacus'. However, his spell in charge has seen rare success for the squad, suggesting that footballing awareness might be overrated in an international team - or that he's perhaps some sort of football tactics Fool for Christ who isn't nearly as simple as he lets on.

GOAL
Fr. Justinian the Thrice-Blessed The Archregimancy's first-ever international goalkeeper has come out of retirement to rejoin the squad. Once best-known for saving three penalties in a single Monastic League cup final, and for his habit of painting icons in goal during quiet stretches of the match - but now much more dedicated to the task at hand (though still in the habit to keeping some 50 icons hanging from the rear of his goal net).

DEFENCE
Fr. Simeon the New Theologian A subtle mind considered an expert on the heresies of Valentinian gnosticism and docetism. Often attempts to distract the opposition with an academic discourse on these topics.

Fr. Serapion the Immobile Had spent the last 30 years standing immobile in one place until the Cup of Harmony. Consented to join the team on the condition he doesn't have to stray from his own half. Initial scepticism on his ability to play was set aside in light of the team's recent success.

Fr. Macarius the Stylite The Archregimancy's other central defender has spent the last 50 years sitting on top of a column, which he has consented to descend from specifically for the tournament. Like Fr. Serapion, his holiness is unquestioned, but his mobility was considered a potential issue until the defence proved rock-solid in recent tournaments.

Fr. George the Perfumer Fr. George has, in holiness, kept his body untouched by water for some 25 years now, that he may better worship the Lord without distraction. Whether his name refers to his role as incense keeper at the Holy Monastery of St. Saba's in the Desert, or to his unique personal aroma is a matter of some debate; opposing forwards may wish it was the former.

MIDFIELD
Fr. Irenaeus the Ascetic Even in an entire nation of monks who often engage in severe ascetic hermit practices, Fr. Irenaeus stands out. He eats a single bowl of beans a day, drinks nothing but rain water, and is known to run tirelessly between the caves in his mountain hermitage. But as thin as he undoubtedly is, there's no doubting that he's supremely fit, and will run many a defender into the ground.

Fr. Theodore the Hair-Shirt Wearer Whatever punishment this hard-tackling ball-winning central midfielder might inflict on your team pales in significance compared to the punishment he inflicts on himself both night and day.

Fr. Onesiphorus the Lame His left leg is shorter than his right leg. Well, it worked for Garrincha - and on recent international tournament form, it works for Fr. Onesiphorus as well.

Fr. Luke the Third Holy Igumen One of the most respected monks in the entire Archregimancy, Fr. Luke would almost certainly have been made Metropolitan of the Greatest Lavra decades ago if he'd shown any interest in being a bishop. Has insisted that he be included in the squad despite his frailty: he physically appears to be about 95 human years old, and walks with a cane. After starting as a centre forward, he remains on the right wing where he has proven bizarrely effective; 'guile, not speed' is his motto.

FORWARDS
Fr. Innocent of Ariddia The most successful international convert ever to play for the team, and coaxed out of retirement from his isolated hermitage for the third cup in a row.

Fr. Eudoxius the Fit Leading scorer for Monastic League team The Painted Monastery of Voronets for many seasons, and one of the most admired footballing monks in the entire Archregimancy. Had never been picked for the national team until the post-WC52 Cup of Harmony (perhaps because he plays for a small and unfashionable monastery) but has recently been the Archregimancy's answer to Alan Belmore.

SUBS
GK -
Fr. Sozon of Borisoglebsky
DEF -
Fr. Alexander the Abbot
Fr. Igor the Widowed
MID -
Fr. Anastasius the Desert Dweller
Fr. Macarius the Archimandrite of St. Catherine's in the Desert
FOR -
Fr. Michael the Unlucky
Fr. Joseph the Benchwarmer

Formation:
The Archregimancy always plays an orthodox 4-4-2; style modifier +0.

Kit:

See Fr. Seraphim the Occasionally Dangerously Free Thinking Theologian model the Archregimancy's monastic robes!

Team Icon

The team is always accompanied to matches by the Holy Icon of the Mother of God, Bringer of Victory, which shall be paraded before the team before all home and away qualifiers. The Holy Icon looks like:

Tips for footballing visitors to the Archregimancy:

1) Each home match is preceded by the complete Divine Liturgy of St. John Chrysostom. Rest assured that this should only require visiting teams, fans, and officials to stand for a mere 2 hours before kickoff. Consider yourselves lucky we don't use the Liturgy of St. Basil.

2) We control the nature of reality in the Dreamed Realm. This isn't used to cheat - all normal rules of football are strenuously followed - but it does have two major side effects:
A) Any injuries to either team in Archregimancy home matches are immediately healed.
B) No violent or riotous behaviour by visiting fans will be tolerated. Any such behaviour will find those responsible immediately transported back to ordinary physical reality.

3) Direct travel from ordinary physical reality to the Dreamed Realm is impossible. Some 72 hours before your away qualifier in the Archregimancy, a team of monks shall arrive in your home stadium and construct a portal to the Dreamed Realm. You may then use this to travel to the Archregimancy at your leisure.

4) Visiting support is limited to a maximum of 11,000 fans.

5) Women are not usually permitted into the Archregimancy. Exceptions will be made for visiting players and properly accredited officials - largely because we have to.

6) Formerly, the Archregimancy made a point of being resentful of being forced to permit atheists, communists, freemasons, assorted heretics and foul excelites into the Archregimancy for home qualifiers. These days the Monastic Football Association tries a little harder to welcome all of the above – though largely in the hope that might just possibly be open to conversion through a slightly more conciliatory approach.

HOME GROUND

The MFA is going through one of its occasional 'let's welcome the heathens in' moods, perhaps because the WC qualifiers are mainly taking place right after Pascha [Easter] - so home qualifiers will take place in an actual stadium, in a ground used to host finals matches in WC28.

The Holy Monastery of Panteleimon:

The football ground is in the foreground, right next to the water. It seats some 22,000. Half of this seating will be made available to visiting supporters. Accommodation for visiting teams will be made available in the monastery itself, though female players and officials will be asked to restrict themselves to the comfortable shore-front accommodation just outside the monastery.

Hand out Yellow cards to my players Y
Hand out Red cards to my players y
Godmod Other Events Y - (within limits, see above; and no religious conversions of players, please)

And remember... Monks don't cheat. Please.

OOC: I realise my team might present a role-playing challenge. Rest assured that once they start playing they'll play just like any other team (though they might be a bit more inclined to pray after scoring), so I have no problem with you treating the team like any other if you don't want to deal with the Orthodox Christian element.

THE HOLY EMPIRE WC 55 SQUAD

While the nation took a long break between WCs 8 and 24 (inclusive), the Holy Empire is proud to be the last currently active nation to have participated in WC1.

Amazingly, the Holy Empire will be fielding a team of ordinary (mostly) human beings. Well, the last time they did that (admittedly with a neolithic caveman in central midfield), they won the tournament. Which also remains the only time they've won the tournament despite all those years of trying.

The main distinguishing characteristic of the present squad is that collective components have nicknames

Forwards:
Procopius Pselluso

Photius Alypiuso

The two forwards are collectively known as 'the professors', apparently because of the questions they keep asking the opposing defence.

Midfielders: [left to right]
Bardas Scleruso

Jorge Tzetzes

Andres Choniates

Miguel Panteugenes

Bardas Phocaso

The three central midfielders are all Chacans, somewhat unusually for an Imperial squad, and are collectively known as 'the engine room'; they are potentially the best Imperial midfield since the squad fielded the legendary trio of Tzimisces, Ug-Ug and Di Bradini in the second half of the WC48 final. The two wingers are known as 'the rebels' - and are rumoured to be quite a handful in the dressing room.

Defenders:
Leo Palaeologo

Juan Tzimisces Jr.

Constantine Ducaso

The three defenders - who include the coach's son, making a footballing comeback of his own - are collectively known as 'the wall'.

Goalkeeper:
Alexius Xiphilino

Substitutes:

Forward:
George Monomacho

Midfield:
John Comneno
Jose Vatatzes
Theodore Porphyrogenito

Defence:
Pedro Barsymes

Goal:
Alejandro Indicopleustes

An obscure footnote to a subclause of a subsidiary page of the team's official WC55 registration document gives the three coaches the right to take the field as substitutes.

Tactics:

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

Style modifier +3

Coaches:

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

The assistant coaches are World Cup Hall of Fame legend Simeone Di Bradini, originally a Starblaydi - allegedly - and World Cup legend (though not in the Hall of Fame because I'm too lazy to update the Wiki) Ug-Ug, coming out of footballing retirement for the occasion.

IMPORTANT: Di Bradini will only be available for RP after the first couple of matches, after I have him reappear. His reappearance will not impact Starblaydia's current RP, which in linear mundy time describes events taking place before Di Bradini's reappearance on the Holy Empire bench.

The squad will wear the famous Imperial Gold and Red, as worn by the Holy Empire since WC1 (home left, change/away right)

Home matches take place in the jewel-encrusted and gold and platinum-domed Imperial Hippodrome.

RP instructions:
With two exceptions described below, knock yourselves out - creative RP is encouraged.

But please remember that the basic rules for travel to the Archregimancy also apply to the Holy Empire - you'll need someone to build a portal for you, you can't just fly/walk/drive there. If you want to deal with the malleable reality and non-linear time elements of the Dreamed Realm, and have no prior experience of these, it's probably best to check with me first.
Also, only I can decide if and when I might choose to field the coaches as players.

#9 Teresa "Cool Whip" Hinckley, 26, ST, 17 caps, 4 goals, Upper Jordan Hilltoppers

Additional players:
#4 Heather "Lime" Smith, 27, 12 caps, Upper Jordan Hilltoppers
#7 Kathleen "Pecan" McKay, 18, 16 caps, 2 goals, City of Bountiful Guardians
#11 Nancy "Carrot" Scott, 22, 11 caps, Lower Jordan Seagulls
#12 Samantha "Small Dish" Cook (backup keeper), 24, 4 caps, Winterhaven Pirates

#16 Frances "Candy" Holland, 23, 7 caps, Meadowlands Belles
#17 Olivia "Fork" Young, 31, 12 caps, 1 goal, Winterhaven Pirates

In Green Jello Salad, association football is seen as a women's game and with one limited exception has been strictly amateur. Top footballers strive for selection to one of the five "provincial" select teams for the annual National Cup each fall. Select team members do receive a stipend for the six weeks involved. With some of these players now forming a national team--the Salad Shooters--for international cups open professionalism may be just around the corner.

The best of the Salad Shooters are sweeper Marshmallow Benson, attacking midfielder Gelatin Hunter, and wingback Pineapple Perry. Lettuce Lee is the only starter who did not also start for the Salad Shooters in the Baptism of Fire, temporarily replacing Pecan McKay. Feel free to use given names with last names, nicknames with last names, or even nicknames alone.

RP permissions: Don't severely injure my players. Otherwise, have fun.

Goalkeepers
No. Name Age Notes
1 Howard Clarke 21 A major player down at the sowing shop. Also a fast goalkeeper with a good eye for happening on the pitch.
12 Paddy Gallder 24 Also good at goalkeeping, will hopefully contest for the number one shirt and make Clarke play better.
23 Noel Barson 38 Not that good, but it's always good to have someone in-case everyone dies.

Defence
2 David Adams 26 Possibly a relation of Douglas Adams. He is a Zaphod Beattlebrox impersonator and lookalike
3 Jack Thompson 22 His name is Jack which is the making of all awesome defenders.
4 Lucy Blanc 25 Of course Lucy is a good defender. She's strong and she's also good at scaring blokes. Serious scary...
5 Peggy Harvison 31 31 years old. Obviously not that good because she is too old, maybe she will prove us wrong.
13 James Polle 17 He is very young and will contest for LB or RB positions.
14 Candy Blue 19 She is also very good and will contest for places.
15 Brandon Parson 35 Brandon is old. Too old maybe. But he is also wise and makes a mean stroodle
16 Danielle Car 39 Way too old for football, but still funny.
17 Moe Travski 25 Strange smell, even for a garbage man.

Midfield
6 Johnathan Maine 32 Getting old for a midfielder, but still good you know.
7 Jenny Carlos 28 Jenny was a good midfielder. But now she is an even better midfielder. Good.
8 Jenifer Sand 29 Jenifer Sand is awesome, she can run she can jump she can thump people in mid-air.
18 Terry Hanson 21 Terry will contest for Jonathan's place. Watch out Jonathan, in fact run!!!
19 Juidith Maison 26 Maisons is an awesome last name and the way she drinks her beer automatically makes her good.
20 Perry Turper 15 Too young at the minute, here to make up numbers.

Strikers
9 Fred Smith 19 One of the best new strikers on the block, could be a leading force this cup.
10 Ellen Nonno 22 With a name like that you can't go too wrong can you right? Lets hope so she's starting.
11 Ian Wane 25 Not exactly the best striker around, but he's constant and strong and loyal and that.
21 Lucas Richards 20 He used to be totally amazing, but right now he's just trying to get his form back after a big injury.
22 Alexia Dwight 29 Just promoted from the new B squad after they found themselves a striker sort. Probably not good enough.

------------------------Howard Clarke-------------------------
David Adams-----Jack Thompson---Lucy Blanc------Peggy Harvison
--------Johnathan Maine-Jenny Carlos----Jenifer Sand----------
--------Fred Smith------Ellen Nonno-----Ian Wane--------------

A brand new squad for a brand new horizon. The old squad in now all dead for some reason. Now looking at the coaches they could be out this cup is they don't manage something good this year.

The Legalese National Team Roster for World Cup 55

About Legalese: Legalese is a moderate-size nation in Atlantian Oceania, known originally for a massive population of lawyers. In the intervening years, it has been both a formerly-active member of the international footballing community, as well as a place for Starblaydi tanks to roam freely on their way to invade The Allied States. A recent revival has brought a portion of the nation's current land back into relevance, unifying it with an island system called the Karin Islands across the Nemyan Strait. The government is obstensibly ran by the nation's highest court, fittingly called The High Court of Legalese, but in reality, is administrated by various figures in the Military, who handle foreign policy, national infrastructure, tax collection, training for the local police services, as well as national defence. The localities and their system of councils and courts handle most locally-relevant issues of governance. The formal capital of Legalese is Legalese City, once the home of the Senate, and now the primary adminstrative center. Iudica (spelled with an I - not an L - and pronounced "You-dee-sha") is the home of The High Court, and Francopolis is the largest city. All three reside on the Calanian mainland. The city of Tyrellia, the former capital of Casari, maintains a bit of prominence in the new Legalese, serving as a major city for the Karin Islands.

Name of the National Federation: Association Football Legalese, usually shortened to Football Legalese. The Chairman is Brandon Moore, who retained the title in spite of various mishaps during the Baptism of Fire.

Manager: Conor Logan, Age 31. A former footballer for the Legalese side Bellona City, Logan left the game due to injury and plunged into depression. His recovery coincided with his taking over of the National Team program, however his mercurial nature has lead to some major changes in the team's actions.

Legalese will play generally in an aggressive 3-1-2-2-2 formation, with a +5 style modifier. Players are listed by Number, Name, Age, and other relevant information.

Keepers:
1 Cameron Carpenter - Age 22, Bellona Bears. Carpenter continues his second World Cup as the Legalese netminder, coming off a strong season at Bears. Barring injury, he will be a definite starter in all matches.

69 Adiran Nunez - Age 20, Sagdineo Athletics.

Defence:
2 Albert Fleming - Age 23, Cherrycroft United

3 Bryan Macdonald - Age 24, InterTyrellia. Macdonald, while left off the CoH 46 Roster, has been playing strongly in the National League, named to the All-XI this season. Expectations are high for this youngster.

4 John Jones - Age 22, Real Tiberius
6 Kyle Johnson - Age 23, Tyrellia Tigers

7 Sean Wallace - Age 26, Arcade Village. Wallace also has the distinction of being left off the CoH 46 Roster. Like Macdonald, his play in the National League has helped his status; unlike Macdonald, it has come at a price, as Wallace was forced to leave his home in Francopolis to ply his trade on the Karin Islands in Arcadia.

20 Glen Flores - Age 24, Bob's Towing
21 Bernard Russell - Age 20, Franciscans United

Midfielders:
12 Michael Lewis - Age 21, Numalia Seahawks
13 Jimmy Baker - Age 28, Winton Wombats. Baker, the team's oldest player, is most comfortable as a defensive mid.

14 Mark Young - Age 27, Bellona City
15 Mike Stevenson - Age 24, Halen City
16 Danny Gallagher - Age 23, Astra Nautical (Karin Regional League). Gallagher, the "bad boy" of Legalese Soccer, was named to the team in spite of a torrid post-CoH stretch, which included 12 goals, 1 assist, an average of one yellow per game, and four bookings, including one for an incident in Winton with their mascot. After having trouble finding work in the National League, Gallagher signed with third-division side Astra Nautical, and currently has them outscoring the rest of the Karin Regional League by fifteen goals after only ten weeks played. Logan re-called him to the national team as part of the attacking midfield corps.

17 John Sparks - Age 21, Real Tiberius.
18 Patrick Gonzalez - Age 20, Myre Town.

Attackers:

9 Joseph Frazier - Age 20, Bob's Towing. Joseph remains the young hope of Legalese, having worked to keep Bob's Towing in the National League, and remains the nation's top scorer.

11 Kai Thomson - Age 23, Angelene Aces. Kai will join Frazier on the front lines, after a moderate season at Angelene, scoring 10 for the 9th-placed Aces. Rumors that Thomson will join Frazier at Bob's Towing may distract him slightly this summer, however.

8 Brian Miller - Age 21, Bellona City
10 Antonio Stevenson - Age 26, Angelene Aces.

Manager: Franz Braddock (86 years old)
The Cafundelense World Cup Hall of Fame manager has built a lengthy tenure as Stars manager. Despite critics projections that he'd be one and done as manager, he has taken the Stars to three consecutive World Cup finals appearances and a shock fourth place finish.
Assistant Manager: Diogo Avarel (44)
Braddock's youthful apprentice joined the Cafundelense legend as one of two assistant managers, much to the chagrin of the Cafundelense football organisation. He remained after the other assistant, Ganz Ijak, left to become manager at The Babbage Islands and now returns to his previous position as top assistant after James Potherington took the managerial position with Sarzoclava.
Assistant Manager: Kevin Wilson (48)
The younger brother of Sarzonia football legend and current Incorporated Football Federation Chairman Brian Wilson, Kevin managed the Stars B-team to their second-ever AOCAF championship, defeating Starblaydia 3-1. He also is someone who could potentially guide the Stars A-side in the future.
Goalkeeping Coach: Horace Sandt (54)
Sandt, the lone holdover from the previous Stars managerial staff, has a storied history for the Sarzonian national team. He was the starting goalkeeper who led the Stars to the World Cup XXII title. During his tenure with the Stars, the team advanced to four consecutive semifinals, becoming just the third team to do so behind Rejistania and Eauz.

Squad Listing
(Note: Starters in BOLD. Team plays a 3-5-2 alignment with a plus-3.5 modifier.)

No. Name Position Height Weight
1 Cody Taylor GK 6'1" 175 pounds
Taylor, 29, plays with Porto Lacruz of Cafundéu's national league. He is known for having catlike reflexes and has played as a midfielder for a recreation league side.

3 Mark Cundiff M 5'11, 175 pounds
Rugged, but clean, the 28-year-old Cundiff often serves in a defensive midfield role but can also play the offensive midfielder role if called upon. His versatility with the Woodstock Wild earned him the call up to the big club.

4 George Maxwell D 6'5 225 pounds
Dubbed "the brick wall," Maxwell uses size to be a disruptive element as a defensive player. He's also used in an effort to score off headers and the 30-year-old picked up eight goals in 27 matches that way.

5 Tim Rodney M 5'9 150 pounds
Rodney, 33, plays bigger than his height. On the New Jerusalem Nobles, he plays a rugged fullback when the team plays a 3-5-2, but played as a defensive midfielder in a 4-4-2 alignment when the team suffered several injuries among its defensive players. With Sarzonia adopting a more attack-oriented team, he shifts up to play midfield.

6 George Morrison M 6'2 185 pounds
Drafted out of Joe Gibbs University, Morrison, 27, played for the Nicksia Knights in the SFC until he signed with KT Hotspur in Candelaria and Marquez. Following the withdrawal of a majority of contracts with foreign players, Morrison signed with the Portland Timbers. With the team's status uncertain, he signed a contract with the Woodstock Wild after an impressive tenure there. He is not a particularly pacey player, but has a cannon of a left leg. He will likely be substituted for a player with more flair if the Stars are trailing a match.

7 Tyler McIntosh D 5'11 165 pounds
The young McIntosh (26 years old) signed a contract with the Nicksia Knights and helped the team advance to the Sarzonian Football Confederation playoffs for the first time since 2005. He has improved by leaps and bounds under former Stars striker Anton Gregor, who manages in Nicksia.

8 Laura Grover M 5'6 125 pounds
Grover, 28, dispelled any questions about whether a woman should start for the Stars by drawing comparisons to Jenna Raven, a star player for both Sarzonia's men's and women's World Cup sides. She has strong scoring touch, notching 11 goals in 27 matches for the Woodstock Justice in Sarzonia's women's league. Her coach? You guessed it, Jenna Raven.

9 Ettore Salivani, Jr. M 5'10 155 pounds
The son of former Sarzonia national team standout and Pacitalian emigre Ettore Salivani, the younger Salivani, 29, retains his father's flair, but also picked up on his mother's preternatural calm. He also has outstanding ball skill and is surprisingly adept as a defensive player. Plays for América in Cafundéu's national league.

11 Ted Philyaw D 5'11 145 pounds
Philyaw, 33, serves as the captain of the Saugerties Snakes, owing to his leadership qualities. He's not the fleetest of foot, relying on positioning and anticipating opposing defenders' moves.

13 Clayton Bocanegro M 6'1", 180 pounds
Bocanegro, 32, is the ace playmaking midfielder for the Portland Timbers and the Stars. He's also the designated corner and free kick taker with an educated right boot.

15 Brad Tremblay M 5'9 162 pounds
Tremblay, 26, had trouble sticking with a team in the SFC before finally finding a home with the Portland Timbers. He is arguably the fastest player on the Stars and fires the hardest shot on the team, but his shot is not all that accurate.

16 Ben Crosley D 5'11" 170 pounds
The 33-year-old has become a consistent starter here. He has had seven seasons of experience with the Tacoma Tigers and is a strong man-marker on the right side. His best asset is speed, though he's also learning the savvy that will help once his speed begins to go.

17 Matt Lynch F 6'3", 205 pounds
The 31-year-old was the top scorer for the Sarzonian national team during its AOCAF XIX appearance. His tall, lithe frame makes him an inviting target for more aggressive players who invariably find out he can take and dish out punishment. Recently signed a contract with A.F.F. in Cafundéu. Becomes team captain with the abdication of Davis.

18 Pete Weston M 5'10", 165 pounds
Weston, 25 brings a lot of energy and a great work rate to the table for the Saugerties Snakes. He is easily the hardest working player on the team. Weston often provides a spark off the players' bench in the event the team plays lethargically.

19 Dave Spencer D 6'5", 225 pounds
Big and brawny, Spencer, 24 also plays a rather physical style that can knock midfielders and forwards off their game. Added to the squad in an effort to address The Holy Empire's physical style of play from the previous World Cup.

20 Colin Rudolph M 6'2", 215 pounds
A blend of physicality and skill gave Rudolph, 26 a tryout with the team. He earned it through his chemistry with other players on the squad. Was added to the squad in an effort to provide it with more depth players after an exhausting run through to the World Cup semifinals.

23 Dennis Crandall F 6'2", 200 pounds
The 24-year-old's sheer speed and elusiveness can surprise many defenders, and often does when he plays with the Nicksia Knights. With Zack Wilson suffering an international career-ending torn anterior cruciate ligament, Crandall becomes a starter up top.

24 Johan Lester F 6'5", 230 pounds
A target player, plain and simple, the 30-year-old does well with scoring on rebounds and crosses, but would not do well as a withdrawn forward. Usually brought in as a bench player. Would hamper Sarzonia's offensive system in the event he'd have to play a full 90 minutes.

27 Joel A'Hearn GK 6'2" 215 pounds
At 24 years old, A'Hearn is projected as a future starting goalkeeper for Sarzonia. He's being brought in to provide insurance if either Taylor or Russell go down, and to experience international play first hand.

Tarrentum National Football Team Roster
Tarrentum Falcons

Also Referred to as: Orange-and-Blue; Imperials; Nation’s Pride

Managerial Staff
Manager- Daestegwen Dlartanina, both the first female manager and the first officially recognized “elvish folk” in Tarrentum, Daestegwen was hired from the White Hall Fairies football club in Dorian and Sonya, her home nation. Dlartanina impressed everyone last year as her flowing, Sylvanae style of play propelled the Falcons into the Round of 32 in World Cup 53.
Assistant Manager – Alexander Italiana, the magnificent brother of Tarrentum’s Eternal Supreme President Borgia Italiana, has been a meddling manager of FC Yuppers, in the TPFL, for seven years. His appointment is largely seen as politically and corporately focused as his nephew, Supreme President Cesare Italiana, was largely instrumental in putting his name forward. The Yupping Yuppers are also owned by Alexander’s food company, Yuppers…“For Supper!” (as the slogan goes).
Head Coach – Delphine Gabriella Italiana (aka Gabriella Delphine Italiana), sister to Supreme President Cesare Italiana, Delphine is the only female coach in the TPFL. Her credentials are beyond reproach as she has lead the Krozuy Academics to three out of the last six Premier Cup Championship Matches (winning one) and has coached the National Squad for the past five World Cups.

Starters names are bolded, Primary position denoted by ^^
(Name; Birth City, Tarrentum Premier League Football Club or UICA recognized Club and League)

Strikers
Noel Gennesse (pronounced “Jen-nah-see”); Yui, FC Yuppers (ST^^, RW, LW) – “The Juliana Italiana of Football.” Noel Gennesse broke the gender-barrier in the Tarrentum Premier Football League this year after her outstanding performances in the Queen’s Cup and during World Cup 53. Though facing some opposition throughout the year of club play, her teammates are devotedly loyal to her. Age: 21, Goals: 30, Assists: 7
Henry Qund; Stroudsville, Tarburr, Krozuy Academics (RW^^, LW) – Qund is originally Tarburr by birth but was raised since the of age three in Tarrentum. He was granted official citizenship and birthright by the Supreme President on his 21st birthday in recognition to his already substantial contributions to the TPFL. By that time Qund had already shown his great worth to the Academics by leading them in goals for the past three years. Qund has tremendous speed and chip shot accuracy. Age: 31, Goals: 40, Assists: 8
Sandroni Sadroni; Apolln, FC Yuppers (LW^^, ST, RW) CAPTAIN – Sadroni has been a tour de force in the TPFL since his emergence onto the national scene 13 years ago. Not a great finesse player but his ability to eye the opposing defensive set piece and find the open assist has led to his two MVP awards during the middle of his career. He’s lost a step since his debut over a decade ago but his grueling, physical play is something to watch. Age: 36, Goals: 5, Assists: 7
Garto Nicolli; Trumboi, Galitz FCA (RW, LW^^) – Nicolli has seen extensive time on the national level and has garnered a lot of experience playing in international friendlies. Nicolli’s contributions to Galitz have been minimized but have been impressive. In the 20 games he has appeared in during Tarrentian League – A matches, Galitz has recorded at least a goal or an assist in each one. He is a specialist with the corner kick. Age: 33, Goals: 12, Assists: 9
Darius Cassiro; Mobolin, Napoliroma Legion (LW^^, ST) – Cassiro had a tremendous year in the TPFL during the 2015 season as his goal scoring ability helped the Legion claim the Premier Cup once again. Age: 27, Goals: 32, Assists: 5

Midfielders
Sforza Italiana; Napoliroma, Tre Da La (CM^^, CMD) – The adored Sforza Italiana, youngest brother of Supreme President Cesare Italiana, has proved many analysts wrong by becoming a very good footballer in the TPFL. When he was named Captain of past-TPFL Champion Tre Da La two years ago he was the youngest in the league’s history. Sforza has been working on his lack of vision on the pitch and has steadily improved. His lack of ball discipline is another story altogether and leads to a bunch of yellow cards throughout the year. Italiana was the only Midfielder in the TPFL’s top 6 goal scorers last year. Age: 23, Goals: 27, Assists: 1
Stefano Nastromani; Pullo, A.F.F.-CCFM (LM^^, ST, LW) – Nastromani is widely seen and respected as one of the best young footballers throughout all of Tarrentum. His intelligence, quick feet and shot selection have made him a very dangerous weapon. He was the youngest ever player on a TPFL club when he signed at the age of 18 after his collegiate career. His outstanding play in World Cup 53 earned him international plaudits and A.F.F. of the Cafundelese League ultimately picked him up on the Transfer Market. While A.F.F. did poorly in the UICA preseason competition (latest Cafundelese football action reported) the idea that a Tarrentian is playing in the world’s best league have given many young footballers good hopes of following in Nastromani’s footsteps. Age: 21
Judasi Kypa; Upper Didi, FC Yuppers (RM^^, LM) – Kypa is the perfect finesse player. He rarely draws a card and has won the unofficial Lady Kristiana Trophy the past three years for his humanitarian contributions. Kypa is the consummate team player. Age: 31, Goals: 5, Assists: 5
Rutgar Vincinz; Doria, Walli Walli FC (RM^^, LW) – Vincinz has been the leading man at Walli Walli recently being given a new contract by the club last year. He brings a menacing presence to the pitch drawing a large amount of yellow cards. Age: 32, Goals: 4, Red Cards: 2
Borgia Callami; Apolln, Krozuy Academics (LM^^, RM) – Callami shows flashes of brilliance at times but is mostly seen as a solid footballer by TPFL analysts and fans. Age: 35, Goals: 3, Assists: 10
Vaccio Dax; Yui, Mountain FCA (CM^^, CMD, LM) – Dax was the one bright spot on an otherwise lousy Mountain FCA team. The club was relegated to the Tarrentian sub-division but Dax showed a lot of talent on the pitch during games. While he didn’t rank in the top 6 for goals, his ability to find the net helped Mountain stay out of the loss column for all 13 of its wins and draws (4, 9). Age: 28, Goals: 14, Assists: 3

Defenders
Treppen Uppenilli; Kuli Caffron, Galitz FC (RB^^, LB) – Uppenilli is a strong, intelligent defender that has helped Galitz to a respectable record this past year. He is great at drawing offside calls. He has also been voted the Sexiest Footballer in Tarrentum for five straight years. Age: 29, Goals: 9, Female Body Parts Autographed Last Year: 471
Claudius Bacanelli; Krozuy, FC Yuppers (RCB^^, LCB, RB) – Bacanelli has provided the Yupping Yuppers a key defensive footballer who has helped the club move up in TPFL tables. He is noted as one of the quickest defenders in the TPFL. Age: 30
Justinian Tremani; Gallen, Krozuy Academics (LCB^^, LB) – Tremani has been voted the top Defensive Player in the TPFL four out of the past six years. Tremani has learned to compensate for his lack of speed with his excellent down-pitch vision. Daestegwen Dlartanina has made it known that if Tremani doesn’t “shape up” and learn to adapt to the new flowing style of play, that he is off the team. Age: 35
Olli Vaspa; Vardin Mountain, Atlético Centrico-CCFM (LB^^, RB) – Vaspa helped anchor the Falcons surprising defense last year and earned himself a “look-see” by Atlético Centrico of the Cafundelese League after World Cup 53. His move to one of the top Cafundelese clubs was a major affirmation of the TPFL’s growing crop of footballers. Vaspa’s play in the backfield and coming in as a substitute helped Atlético Centrico win a bid to last year’s Globe Cup through the Jowenguard Crown tournament in Cafundeu (latest Cafendelese League football action reported). Age: 28
Nico Lardorama; Trulin, Walli Walli FC (RCB^^, LCB) – Lardorama is known throughout the TPFL for his intense and aggressive play. He has drawn a fair amount of yellow cards over his many seasons of play. Age: 33, Red Cards: 3
Gregor Fluti; Vardin Mountain, Krozuy Academics (LB^^, RB) – Fluti has seen his stock rise along with Tremani on the Academics. Their play together is widely seen as a main reason for the Academics success in the TPFL. Age: 31
Walri Castanella; Yui, Galitz FC (RB^^, LB, CM) – Castanella has proven a boon to Galitz since his rookie season. His defensive awareness is in a league of its own and his ability to cut off the attack has been seen as the reason for Galitz’ recent success. Age: 25
Cristiano Happalla; South Burni, Agrobaign (LCB^^, RCB, LW) – Happalla has been the cornerstone for the young Agrobaign club’s rise from Tarrentian League – A to the TPFL. While Agrobaign is known for their attacking style of play, Happalla kept his club in many matches that they normally would have lost in the premier league. His down-to-earth personality also wins him a lot of friends on the pitch. Age: 24

Goalkeepers
Raspu Tucadi; Trulin, Krozuy Academics – Tucadi has been a key reason for the Academics winning ways the past few seasons. Tucadi is loved in football circles across Tarrentum for his play during last year’s World Cup. His ability to fend off shots kept the Falcons in many matches and helped propel them into the Round of 32. Age: 30
Brice Ferro; Lower Marentian, Walli Walli FC – Ferro’s inclusion on the National Squad was met with some surprise but it was Manager Dlartanina’s lone “Manager’s Pick.” While Ferro was better than average in the DiBrandi Cup, his jump from college to the TPFL was a bold move by Walli Walli. It was the right move as Ferro came in halfway through the season and helped the club to 3rd place in the North Division and a trip to the next Globe Cup. Age: 19

Wolfen Imperial News Agency - Sports Update

Reviving the Spirit
Wolfenium reveals new team roster for World Cup. Surprises in store for fans!

Evening, sports fans! This is Jun Ozawa with the daily coverage on the latest sporting events across Astol and beyond. For today', we have a special opening coverage of the 55th Football/Soccer World Cup.

Earlier today, the Wolfen Football Association (Wolfescher Fußball-Bund) has released the newest team roster for the upcoming 55th Football/Soccer World Cup. The team roster, which had been almost totally altered since the Wolves' abysmal international debut in the Baptism of Fire competition, has since revamped its national team in favour of a newer, younger and largely untested team. WFB chairman, Mr Heinz Ziegler has supported the changes, following a string of terrible fouls committed by Wolfen players during the course of the competition.

The changes, I believe, is necessary in order to revive the fighting spirit of the team. Though expectations are considerably lower, we will hope for the best from our players and we have utmost confidence of their skills and determination in the coming tournament.

Wolfen National Team Coach, Guilo Pirelli has since drop a large portion of the team, mainly its infamously ill-disciplined defenders and has revised the training program in anticipation of the upcoming tournament. The line-up, however, contained many surprises as the coach has since included more ethnic minority and for the first time, female players into the Wolfen tean.

Bold - Indicates starting lineup, unless otherwise stated.

Formation: 3-5-2, unless otherwise stated.
Style Modifier: -1

League Clubs:- Red - Wolfen Federal League; Green - Vinchian Premier Football League; Blue - Amythysian Premier Football League

Goalkeepers:

Josef Mićalović (#1) - CAPTAIN - Zenit Alisabourg
- The newly nominated team captain of the Wolfen team, Alisagrad-born Mićalović is a cold, calculative personality, Josef is an enigma, even to his own teammates. Often the target of abuse from his more prejudicial teammates, Josef has grown even more stoic than before. However, on the field, Josef is an expert goalie, guarding the net with ruthless efficiency. It is with such talent that he was dubbed the 'Pearl Gates' after his hometown, the Pearl City (Alisagrad).
Sigmund Hahn (#14) - Edenburger SV
Yuri Antoine (#22) - Spartak Aprilio

Defenders:

Gary Kissinger (#4) - FC Koln
Mihael Kruger (#5) - VfL Ixpellia
Mario Villeti (#6) - FC San Jose
Hikari Yurino (百合野光 Yurino Hikari) (#12) - Eintracht St. Olivie
- Pictured on the right
  
  One half of a pair of Fuso twins playing for the top league team, Eintracht St. Olivie, Hikari is the more soft-spoken and reserved of the duo. In contrast to her more tomboyish younger sister, Hikari is timid, shy, perhaps even introverted. However, on the field, she is a meticulous marker who lets her opponents play into her hands, often swiping the ball from their feet like a ghost. However, her skills are far from exceptional, and she still has a lot to learn in the coming tournament. Still, she is open to new opportunities as she and the teams prepare themselves for the World Cup.
Sergei Malachenko (#13) - Dinamo Aprilo
Sara Mauser(#17) - VfB Kristallburg
Adam Christiansen (#20) - VfB Kristallburg
Andriy Trochowski (#21) - Real Marin

Midfielders:

Karin Yurino (百合野果林 Yurino Karin) (#3) - Eintracht St. Olivie
- Pictured on the left
  
  One half of a pair of Fuso twins playing for Eintracht St. Olivie, Karin is the more talented and outspoken of the duo, often taunting her teammates and opponents alive both on and off the field. Despite being the younger of the twins, Karin often acted as the protective sister to her more emotionally fragile twin, Hikari. Daunting and aggressive, Karin would sometimes press the front if necessary, although in others, act as a defensive foil, usually with her sister backing her up. Together, they form a dreaded duo which, combined with some of the best in the club, propelled St. Olivie to the top of the Wolfen league table. And now, she and her team is set to bring Wolfenium up on the world stage.
Heinkel Schäfer (#7) - FC Cavir
Jorgen Kreig (#8) - FC San Jose
Arthur Beckner (#9) - FC Yuristadt
Daniel Weiss (#11) - Eintracht St. Olivie
- A young heartthrob with a charming smile, Daniel Weiss is both a lady killer and a game maker. A genius on the field, his graceful style of play confounds and frustrates even the most adamant of defenders, making him a dangerous opponent to deal with. Sadly, his horrific record of injuries, coupled with his existing heart condition, makes it difficult for him to sustain even five minutes on the field, giving him the name, the 'Glass Ace'. Nonetheless, having proven himself on the Baptism of Fire, Daniel is ready to take on the best in the upcoming World Cup.
Martin Silvella(#14) - Edenburger SV
Alessandro Giovanni(#15) - Real Marin
Helmut Hahnemann(#19) - Eintracht St. Olivie
Otto Friedmann(#23) - VfL Ixpellia

Forwards:

Marko Krygsmann (#2) - Wolfsburg SV
Heinz Friedreich (#10) - VfL Ixpellia
Emilio Olivetti (#18) - FC San Jose

Fans are skeptical over the recent lineup posted by the Wolfen FA, with many questioning the overall skill of the team, but coach Pirelli has declared his support for the team. One can only wait and watch as Wolfenium prepares itself for World Cup fever. This is Jun Ozawa, W.I.N.A., Wolfsburg.

He is prone to ripping apart the nearest person when he's angry. Since then he has led the Tretskivucian team into the World Cup 53 and onto the Round of 16. the Tretskivucian Football Committee decided this was enough to allow him to coach again. Last year, he brought the team to 3rd place in the 46th Cup of Harmony

by **Invisible Wabbits** » Fri Apr 22, 2011 9:30 am

Team: ‘Invisible Wabbits’, alias "The Warriors"..

National football organisation: Wabbitian Football Society (‘WFS’).
(ChairBunny: Harvey MacWabbit [the nation’s leader])

All of the players and supporting staff are ‘Invisible Wabbits’ (Human-sized, and anthropomorphic to varying extents, rather “cartoon” in nature; generally only visible to people with relevant psychic or supernatural abilities, and perhaps to the other members of certain species that are innately supernatural in some way themselves too, unless they deliberately make themselves obvious…). EDIT: It is possible that IR goggles would also work to some extent, as one nation claimed during their previous World Cup attempt, and I wouldn't be at all surprised to learn that natives of the Dreamed Realm can see them too... As was revealed during WC55 they are actually spirits who have managed to acquire quasi-material bodies — to replace original ones that were destroyed by enemies — through the Australian continent’s ‘Dreamtime’, and it seems that at least some of them are still effectively ‘unaging’. They aren’t providing any information about their ages, or about how long it is since any of them started playing football, but several members of this line-up also featured in the Wabbits’ previous World Cup attempt which was back in the WC45 cycle and none of those appear (to the extent that anybody else can tell, anyway) to have aged significantly since then… Mind you, it’s possible that despite their interactions with Bears Armed –- for whom 4 years passes per WC cycle -- that earlier competition was only a few years ago for them (OOC; in keeping with the RL passage of time… [/OOC]) anyway.
All of the players are amateurs.

Staff

Manager/Coach: Harry MacWabbit. (Player-manager, see roster…)

Paramedics / Physiotherapists: Bounteous (‘Bunty’) Bunnikins, Bucksomha (‘Buxy’) Bunnikins, and Bussingha (‘Busy’) Bunnikins_ A trio of sisters, even more human-like in looks than the typical Wabbit and definitely “well-built”, hair/fur = strawberry-blonde, will attend matches dressed in [rather skimpy versions of] the conventional nurses’ uniform.

Roster

(#1) Harry MacWabbit _ home team = ‘WAHQ-Jobs’, category & usual position = ‘Roamer’; ambidextrous, fur = light brown; day jobs = Deputy head-of-mission at the WA, male model.
(Harry is a younger brother of his people’s leader, Harvey . He can often be found in the Strangers’ Bar at WA headquarters, and as of April 2011 he has been romantically involved for several years [on-&-off ] with Dicey Riley who is the WA ambassador and [“wrongfully”] ‘President-for-life’ of Ardchoille.)

(#2) Reedy ‘Stretcho’ Richbuck _ home team = ‘The Fantastics’, category & usual position = Goalkeeper; right-pawed, fur = medium-brown & white; day job = inventor.
(Tall for a Wabbit anyway, he sometimes seems to extend his reach somehow to catch balls that opponents would have sworn were too far away for him to stop…)

(#3) Benny ‘Big Bunny’ Bronze _ home team = ‘Harelem Hotshots’, category = Defender, usual position = Right Back; right-pawed, fur = dark brown; day job = bouncer at The Carrot Club.
(Big and solid, he doesn’t say much.)

(#4) Benno ‘The Thungh’ Grimm _ home team = ‘The Fantastics’, category = Defender, usual position = Centre Back; right-pawed, fur = (ginger, but only on scalp & ears; has “rocky” orange skin elsewhere, instead); day job = Tunnel explorer.
(Even bigger and more solid, and he doesn’t say much either.)

(#5) James ‘Jimbo’ O’Sage _ home team = ‘Rabbit Ronin’, category = Defender, usual position = Left Back; left-pawed, fur = white; day job = freelance bodyguard.
(A bit taller & less obviously muscled than #3, but also pretty tough… and also pretty taciturn; surprisingly fast on his feet for his size; even longer-eared than most of the others.)

(#6) Jonno ‘Hotshot’ Storm _ home team = ‘The Fantastics’, category = Midfielder, usual position = Right Half; right-pawed, fur = blond; day job = racing-car driver.
(Young-seeming and very keen, probably the fastest on his feet of this team’s members, probably also the most impulsive of them…)

(#007) Bunn James Bunn _ home team = ‘Universal Experts’, category = Midfielder, usual position = Centre Half; right-pawed, fur = grey; day job = trouble-shooter for ‘Universal Exports’.
(Very good at turning up where his team’s opponents don’t expect him to be; rather more mannered & stylish than any of his team-mates; he may bring a drink &/or a cigar onto the pitch with him, if the authorities don’t intervene.... and when not on footballing business he’s likely to wear a suit, maybe even a tuxedo, rather than the less formal garb that most of the others generally prefer...).

(#8) Lewis Carroll ‘Lucky’ O’Hara _ home team = ‘WAHQ-Jobs’, category = Midfielder, usual position = Left Half; left -pawed, fur = brown; day job = official messenger for the nation’s WA mission.
(Very fast on his feet, although he seems a bit older than any of his team-mates, when outside the stadiums he normally dresses in a tweed suit rather than the more casual wear that the others tend to favour; he is another of the longer-eared type.)

(#9) Bruce ‘This One’ MacWabbit _ home team = ‘WAHQ-Jobs’, category = Striker, usual position = Right Forward; right-pawed, fur = white; day job = something junior in the nation’s WA mission.
(Identical twin brother of #E, with whom he shares a rapport that makes them a very effective combination.)

(#T) Barry ‘Buggsy’ Bunn _ home team = ‘The Uptown Outfit ’, category = Striker, usual position = Centre Forward; ambidextrous, fur = grey; day job = owner of The Carrot Club.

(#E) Bruce ‘That One’ MacWabbit _ home team = ‘WAHQ-Jobs’, category = Striker, usual position = Left Forward; left-pawed, fur = white; day job = something junior in the nation’s WA mission.
(Identical twin brother of #9, with whom he shares a rapport that makes them a very effective combination.)

They haven’t brought any substitutes or reserves along.

Style: Offensive (Some people say “Very offensive”…), modifier = +5.

Their usual formation will be a 3-3-3, excluding their Captain who will start wherever [in or around any of those three lines] he himself chooses on the day.

This team’s members aren’t noticeably highly-skilled, on the whole, but try to make up for that fact with enthusiasm and luck… and maybe with a degree of trickery, too. Some of the things that they were noticed doing on the pitch during their previous WC attempt, and that presumably they might try again, include running along on their hands while using their feet to juggle the ball, using their ears to strike [or even to hold] the ball, kicking the ball into the ground so that it pops up again in front of a team-mate or even comes up heading [possibly from a very short distance] into their opponents’ goal, actually tunnelling into the ground while dribbling the ball (although maybe without as much control as they’d like over where they re-surface), and propositioning female opponents…
There were allegations from one opposing team of at least one incident when a Wabbit held one of their team-mate’s kit up in the air to give a false impression of their presence while that team-mate had really gone [naked] to interfere with play somewhere else on the field, but that was never confirmed.

Home ground
Acme Stadium: Located at Acme City, which is this nation’s capital, its current capacity is approximately 100'000. The city has many hotels, of varying quality, and is a thriving cultural centre. This country is located in one Reality’s version of Australia, with Acme City itself occupying a location equivalent to RL’s Sydney and can be approached appropriately for that…. but if a nation’s government or sporting authorities want then arranging a shortcut via ‘wabbit-hole’ tunnels should also be possible.

This team will bring along a LOT of travelling support.

RP permissions: Do whatever you like. Just try not to kill off my team. Seriously, having fun is encouraged [clothes are still optional

] and the more odd the RPs, the more interesting they are.

The Orange-Blues of Rejistania

Team colors: well... guess!

Nicknames: Orange-Blues, Junis-Omeh['he]'ny, inofficially: those slani karelans

For historical reasons you might occasionally hear the term 'transnationals' or 'transregionals' for the team.

Some information about Rejistania: The Unified Federation of Rejistania has a very changing history (which is one of the reasons why the Ornage-Blues have been absent from the world stage for quite a while) and a rich and very regional culture. Generally, the factbook is a place for finding out about it though. Generally, Rejistanis are short and dark-skinned.

In the country, the language Rejistanian is national language. OOCly, it is a constructed language. My signature has more information about it in case anyone is interested. If you need a translation for your RP, feel free to TG me.

Rejistania consists of a prosperous coastal area and a impoverished hinterland. Certain players react very badly to statements of them being "xentira'he'ny". There is no rejistanian ethnicity instead, the rejistanian population consists of many different people. That can be noticed by the various names of national team players (a hyphen in the two syllable last name refers to Lajik heritage for example).

Some linguistic information: the demonym for Rejistania is either rejistanian or rejistani. Slani is a curse word. System Karela means a very defensive tactic and System Takil a very offensive one.

The Allamunnic States' National Soccer Team
Nickname: Blue Thunder
Style Modifier: -1.5
Coach: Andrew Forsk (Aged: 42)
Base Formation: 3-4-3 (3 Strikers, 4 Midfielders, 3 Backfielders)

RP Permission: Please, TG before doing anything but scorers or game-ending injuries. Injuries outside of game-ending for a player are determined by myself. If you're going to godmod events, make sure it doesn't violate any of the above rules. TG me just to be safe with those. Yellow cards are fine, no red cards without prior approval, please.
.
Also, if you godmod an event of any kind, by all means, have fun with it. ;D I'd appreciate a check-in first, all the same.

OOC Please Note: The official name of the nation is the Allamunnic States. The demonym is Allamunnic. The term "Fanboyist" is considered IC'ly to be rather offensive, and I will treat it as such in RP. OOC'ly, I don't really care if you use it, but be aware of what the IC reaction will be. I will try not to come across as jumping down anybody's throat. Any percieved IC rudeness is not meant as OOC'ly, as well.

Team Overview: The Blue Thunder competed in the 13th Oxen Cup and the 52nd World Cup, with moderate success in the first, and relatively little in the latter. Since the success of the volunteer system in other sports for the Allamunnic States is notable, the same approach has been applied to its soccer team. As a result, this is a rather raw team.

As with every Allamunnic team, they play physically. Expect injuries to happen to other people when they're around. Also, relatively speaking, there's plenty of depth on the team; the reserves aren't much worse than the starters, and the starters aren't much better than the reserves, depending on which view you use. So there will be plenty of rotating. In fact, probably more rotating than average on other teams will occur.

The main style of the team is ball-control; they tend to try to use their superior physicality to prevent opponents from scoring, eat the clock, and force their own scores to keep themselves in control.

Players:

Goalkeeper

#08 - Leopyld Hulms - (19; 5'10"; 201lbs, STARTING GOALKEEPER) - Leo is the younger brother of Fradrik Hulms, the reserve goalie from WC52. He's younger, and probably more talented then his brother. Hulms is a useful shut-down goalie, but he's prone to getting rattled as an inexperienced player.

#07 - Tara Hassan - (17; 5'6"; 134lbs, Reserve Goalkeeper) - Tara is a newly-recruited goalkeeper (straight out of high school), with a certain amount of natural talent. Her lack of experience against a high level of opponents means that there isn't a good indication of how good or bad she is, so she serves as a reserve until the actual extent of her talents can be determined.

Backfielders

#37 - Nicole Hartley - (28; 5'7"; 178lbs, STARTER, LEFT BACKFIELDER) - Nicole is faster than most of the other backfielders, and it shows. She also has more finesse control, if lacking some of their power and physicality. But that doesn't mean that opponents shouldn't be wary of her; like most Allamunnic players, she does play physically. Simply not as much as some of her teammates.

#32 - Danny Otto - (20; 6'1"; 234lbs, STARTER, CENTER BACKFIELDER) - Otto, by contrast, plays like the quintessential Allamunnic soccerer. He's big, he's phyiscal, and he's rather rough around the edges. Otto's inexperienced, and tends to substitute skill and dexterity with strength and physicality; he makes a useful center for the other two main backfielders to work around, a good anchor, but he's not a whole lot of use on his own.

#38 - Lee Hartley - (26; 6'0"; 214lbs, STARTER, RIGHT BACKFIELDER) - Lee is, as one might be able to tell, Nicole's younger brother. Lee is cast more or less from the same mold, and he plays more finely than a lot of other Allamunnic players. He's rather quick, and is useful for forcing turnovers and keeping the ball away from Hulms and the goal. He's picked up a little bit of physicality since WC52, but he's still essentially a finesse player.

#33 - Theo Arnstadt - (22; 6'1"; 238lbs, Left Backfielder) - Theo is a larger player who provides a greater measure of physicality that is available to the Thunder's backfield and defensive play. Arndstadt, like much of the team, is a little short on experience. That said, he's got plenty of talent and physicality, and is more than sufficient to kill clock and control the ball, primarily to help the midfielders in this primary aspect of their game.

#34 - Selyn Jordan - (19; 5'6"; 146lbs, Right Backfielder) - Selyn is one of the backfield's available finesse players, who can be used to help press the attack quickly to help capitalize on turnovers. Selyn is a faster player who, like much of the team, lacks experience. She'll mostly rotate, since the team's manager doesn't think she's ready to start or take on heavy play duties yet.

#35 - Honorius Haaldunn - (21; 6'3"; 250lbs, Center Backfielder) - Honorius is easily the largest player on the team. He's another part of the unit that can be used against teams that the Thunder want to grind-out or simply ball-hog against to kill time and prevent scoring. As large as he is, he can play exceedingly physically, and can be used to buy time or provide an anchor for the rest of the defense or ball-possessing players.

#36 - Olson Parmele - (22; 6'0"; 235lbs, Center Backfielder) - Parmele is a truely versatile player; large enough to be physical, experienced enough (five years or so in the domestic league) to have learned plenty, and with enough finesse to be a major threat downfield or to keep the ball away from the opponent, even to help press the attack to quickly capitalize off of turnovers.

Centerfielders

#41 - Erik Drakarr - (21; 6'0"; 216lbs, Left OUTSIDE CENTERFIELD) - Erik is a physical player who helps contribute to the Blue's control of centerfield. He's got a little more in the way of finesse, but he's still inexperienced, and still learning. He's useful for setting up plays with the strikers and other midfielders, or for burning time playing keep-away with the other team, either through passing (which he's quite good with), or simple physicality (which he can also do just fine).

#21 - Ryan Carlson - (20; 6'1"; 221lbs, LEFT INSIDE CENTERFIELD) - Carlsson is a younger, power-oriented player who's another good anchoring member of the center-field. He's more likely to act as a more passive anchor for the centerfielders to work around, and to work with the backfielders and strikers, while leaving more of the pressing to the more experienced and aggressive Brom. Carlson is less experenced, hence his lack of aggressiveness.

#31 - Izaak Brom - (26; 6'2"; 217lbs, RIGHT INSIDE CENTERFIELD) - Izaak is a more-experienced power-oriented player who acts partially as a mid-field anchor and partially to help press the attack. His size allows him to anchor any attacks or plays, and to play physically and help control the middle of the field. He's got more than a little passing talent, which is useful for ball-control. For his realitive conservative play, Brom seems to have a certain amount of big-play potential, and will hopefully remain a key part of the team for years to come.

#11 - Lily Stokes - (24; 5'6"; 151lbs, RIGHT OUTSIDE CENTERFIELD) - Lily is a generally fast, versatile, attacking and goal-shooting centerfielder, rather than one geared towards ball-control. She's more likely to help keep the ball moving, play defense, or move the ball around in the center-field to the strikers, or to help set up attacks and other plays with the strikers or other centerfielders.

#51 - Zack Riley - (21; 6'0"; 230lbs, Right Inside Centerfield) - Riley is another versatile midfielder who can be used either as an additional ball-controller or as an attacker in the team's midfielder-based attack. Riley's relatively experienced by this team's standards, with a mix of finesse and physicality. Riley's skill makes him a player likely to be rotated in.

#61 - Chloe Sharpes - (20; 5'7"; 151lbs, Left Outside Centerfield) - Sharpes is a finesse-geared player who will probably be used primarily to add to an attack or to keep the ball moving downfield rather than simply control it. Sharpes can shoot sufficiently that she is a threat on attack, who can be inserted in different packages to add potency to the Blue's attack.

#71 - Theo Brom - (17; 5'11"; 236lbs, Right Outside Centerfield) - Brom is a powerful player who can kick powerful shots on goal, and can be used to control the ball. His inexperience is a slight liability, but given a year or two, he should be able to be integrated fully into the team's midfielder-heavy approach rather than as a simple substitute.

#81 - Kyl Haalmund - (21; 6'1"; 240lbs, Left Inside Centerfield) - Haalmund is a big-play potential player. He's young, already a three-year veteran of the domestic league willing to join the national team full-time, and with plenty of big-play potential, versatility, and talent and unfulfilled potential a-plenty. Given a year or two to develop, it's easy to think he might be able to take a starting spot on the team.

Strikers

#24 - Mike Tesla - (23; 6'1"; 219lbs, STARTER, LEFT FORWARD) - Tesla is a solid, reliable striker, who can make good, safe shots on the goal, with a reasonable amount of success. His other strength lies primarily in his ability to set up plays for other, more explosive strikers, and to tie down defenders and control the field. His ability to mix power with speed makes him dangerous, along with his lack of 'star-power' means that he's able to catch people on surprise.

#23 - John Horst - (25; 6'0"; 220lbs, STARTER, MIDDLE FORWARD) - John plays as an anchor in the middle of the field with the strikers, and is more than capable of making some excellent shots on goal. That said, his main contribution is his physicality which lets him keep control of the middle of the field, and set up shots on goal for other players, even if he's capable of taking them himself as well.

#22 - Derrik Leifsson - (20; 6'1"; 220lbs, STARTER, RIGHT FORWARD) - Derrik is as close as the team has to an actual star these days with the drought of players brought on by the institution of the volunteer system to the national team. He has the natural talent, play-making ability, physicality and finesse to be a true super-star and to play at the level of many of the world's elite players. That is, if he can play properly with the rest of his team.

#25 - Kelly Horst - (17; 5'4"; 130lbs, Right Forward) - Kelly is John Horst's younger sister. Kelly is a finesse-geared striker who specializes in making quick, accurate shots. Alas, there's usually not loads of speed on said shots, so there's reason to think she's not terribly effective at the moment. This can probably be owed to slight flaws in her fundamental form, which will, given her inexperience, probably be corrected as she plays and gains experience.

#26 - Hendrik Kristholm - (21; 5'10"; 226lbs, Left Forward) - Hendrik is a more power-oriented stiker; he's useful for keeping the ball around and push the ball around to set up plays and shots for other players. Hendrik is also good for ball control and supporting the other strikers. His own shots tend to be more powerful, but less accurate.

#27 - Derrik Carlson - (18; 6'2"; 234lbs, Center Forward) - Derrik is midfielder Ryan Carlson's younger brother. Derrik is a versatile forward who can shoot accurately and powerfully on goal, and is quite useful for setting up plays for other strikers. His main disadvantage is inexperience and a tendency to fold in high-pressure situations. However, there are high hopes for Carlson, and an expectation that both of these can be overcome by simply gaining experience.

#28 - Kristina DePaul - (17; 5'6"; 144lbs, Center Forward) - Kristina is a finesse-geared striker, who shoots accurately and quickly (not so much powerfully) and requires little to no set-up before shooting, and she has a knack for getting the ball into the goal, somehow, some way. Kristina, however, isn't so good with ball control, which is a liability on this squad.

Base Formation:

--Forwards: ---------- TESLA ----- HORST ----- LEIFSSON
Centerfield: ---- DRAKARR ---- CARLSON ---- BROM ---- STOKES
--Backfield: -------- N. HARTLEY ----- OTTO ----- L. HARTLEY

Albundanian Roster for WC 55

Albundania's roster for the World Cup Proper has been released!

Starters:

GK: Nelson Hardage: This 31 year old keeper is entering the last leg of his career due to injury, but he still makes one helluva good keeper when he's fit. Which he is right now. Don't look to grab any easy goals off of him.

LB: Jesse Wiley: Wiley is an example of how the AMFL has risen to the challenge of supplying Albundania with new talent, and this man is the nation's solution to it's lack of defenders. He's quick enough and strong enough to accomplish pretty much any task set before him. Has shown some brilliance in coordinating with Chicago Nuevo teammate Nelson Hardage.

CB: Tad Abston: One of the younger players, he comes from the youth oriented squad of Riesberg FC and is only 24 years old. Mind you, he can play with the best of them right now. Tad Abston is likely going to be around for quite a few world cup cycles.

CB: Kurtis Moses: He's just as young as Tad Abston, and just as good. The only man from Lemanskigrad on the squad, you can tell he comes from such a quality team. With Abston and Moses in the center, opponents should have a tough time getting goals against the squad.

RB: Ryan Theriot: The 31 year old from Albundia City makes another appearance in a world cup squad after easily outperforming any other wing-backs from Albundania. May finally have some inter-squad competition from Wiley, though. A bit old, and his speed is struggling for it. His excellent use of tactics and strength still make him a match for the most agile striker. Rounds off an above-average defense.

LM: Richard Brooks: The 22 Year Old plays for youth-orientated powerhouse Hollandstile FC, and is the second of that generation to make it onto the squad. He's fast and deadly with a free-kick, not to mention his dedication to giving everything he has every game. It may be his first international experience, but don't look for that to bother him.

CM: Evan Liszeo: 26 year old midfielder who plays for Albundia City United, Liszeo is a very physically strong player, with shots from 30 yards out being very common. He marks a new direction for Albundanian midfielders, who tend to be small and agile. This is his first international competition as well, and the pressure might affect him a little bit.

CM: Captain Lisa Jacoby: Probably the best player on the team right now. Coincidentally, she took the captainship from Inieta when he left. This 26 year old can do anything she wants, period. She's fast, she's smart, and she's got a helluva shot. Albundania's first female outfielder, as well.

RM: Jürgen Freytag: The 25 year old winger who plays for Egaigus, he is a free-kick expert and a really fast player to boot. In other words, the perfect representation of an Albundanian winger. His usefulness was proven in qualifying, where he simply dominated on the wings.

ST: Aaron Louis: The 20 year old striker for Hollandstile FC, Louis comes off a landmark qualifying campaign where he averaged more goals per game than any Albundanian before him. Louis can find any hole and exploit it, so no defense is safe.

ST: Aaron O'Donell: The 24 year old who plays for Hartville SC will be a surprise replacement for Evan Lawson, who now sits on the bench. Not much is known about O'Donell except that Hartville fans regard him as a God. He could be a very nice surprise package this world cup.

Substitutes:
Goal-keeper: Clayton Sellman
Wing-Back: Elias Mill
Center-Back: William Decosta
Right-Mid: Mark Rothman
Center-Mid: Zachary Chan
Striker: Evan Lawson

Rictasalu%úi Qlumezaelu sa Tonaqiz presents: the Qlumezian national soccer team

Football is a sport that evokes passionate reactions throughout Qlumez. It's more than a sport - it's a national religion. The colorful crowd of fans is sure to follow the national team, the pride of Qlumez, wherever it goes.
They rely more on player quality than tactical acumen, which critics say hurts their actual chances of winning. They don't care much, though. The general opinion is, "we win py blaying our way, or we don't win at all".

The Coach:
Buli Bacajam

Players: (starting players in bold)
Pernil - Goalkeeper
Agile, aggressive and attentive; those three words sum up Pernil's qualifications as a goalkeeper.
Vibam- Goalkeeper
An experienced keeper with great positioning and anticipation. Has been the second choice of Qlumez for years.
Xòzei Ramul- Goalkeeper
He's back to the national team, but will he be able to get back his starting position?
Suceaz - Wing-back
An excellent set-piece taker. As good as attacking as he is defending. Versatile and difficult to put down. Plays on both sides of the pitch. One of the key players in the squad.
Zòrei - Centre-back
Maybe the best defender in the history of Qlumezian football, his most remarkable ability is his attacking prowess. He can not only head very well, but shoot, pass and even dribble.
Supes - Centre-back
Supes started out a left-back and found his true vocation in the defending box. Plays in both positions as needed.
Tùqei - Wing-back
Uzag - Centre-back
An experienced defender with plenty of titles under his belt.
Làpal - Centre-back
Usleuci - Wing-back/Centre-back
Being a naturally ambidextrous person, this versatile player can work on both sides of the pitch with equal ability.
Zorum Zaepu - Defensive/Central Midfielder
Captain of the young and Olympic teams, he brings plenty of leadership ability despite his young age. He's equal parts playmaker and marker, having shown to be as good at scoring as he is preventing scores.
Azeum - Central Midfielder
A box-to-box player with excellent stamina and long-range balls, both shooting and passing.
Lubelam - Defensive Midfielder
Seemingly frail for such an important defensive position, Lubelam's main ability lies in his speed, with which he can start lightning-fast counter-attacks.
Zorum Biolu - Offensive Midfielder
This youth is billed as the sucessor to Yuyù, and their similar playstyle means they will surely fight for a position if the aforementioned player manages to climb back to the national team.
Mucsli - Defensive Midfielder
Xùsmic - Offensive Midfielder
Technically gifted man who recently has helped his team climb the championship ladder, and brought the coach's attention to him and his teammates.
Vucmi - Offensive Midfielder
A young player with the confident passing of a seasoned veteran. His classy style makes him very popular.
Dwezedda - Offensive Midfielder/Winger
Called "the future of Qlumezian football", this new player shows an array of dribbles and tricks to beat any defence. Ah, and he can shoot as well.
Lacuni - Offensive Midfielder
Swift and precise, combining excellent ball control and decisive passes, Lacuni is another great product of the Qlumezian youth academies.
Cahbul - Centre-forward
The new sensation of Qlumezian football, an energetic player with seemingly endless goalscoring creativity. Issues with authority and a lack of physical strength didn't keep him from a starting place in the team.
Ucslà - Centre-forward
Cahbul's former club partner, a strong, no-nonsense scorer with a good head.
Duni - Forward
You name it. Speed, precision, positioning - this boy has it all. Capable of scoring from seemingly impossible situations and firing deadly long-range lobbing shots, Duni was poised to be the starting center-forward until Cahbul came along. Still, the coach knows better than to keep him in reserve.
