World Cup 94 [rosters]

[Graintfjall]

[Roleplays]

Welcome to the roster thread of World Cup 94. Here each team may list their roster for the forthcoming tournament.

Please do not post here until you have been confirmed in the signup list (latest version here). Please do not reserve a post or make a placeholder. Any substantial editing of your roster should be done via adding a new post, not editing the old one, as rosters will be marked whenever is convenient for the hosts and edits may be missed.

Note for BoF entrants: you do need to post your roster here to this thread, too, as we will not be marking the BoF thread.

You just used the word 'roster' about five times, what does it mean?

A roster is a teamsheet. At its absolute most basic, it's a list of 11 names, although usually your opponents will need a little more than that to go on. Here is some of the basic info you should include:

• Your team nickname
• Your team (11 players, plus reserves; squads are normally 23-26 players in size, but during World Cup qualifying bigger pools of players may be used)
• Your team manager
• Where your team will play its home matches (during World Cup qualifying, your team will play 10 games at home; this could all be at one stadium or at multiple stadiums around your country)
• Your RP permissions and style modifier

Rosters can contain many more details, of course, such as:

• A logo
• Player bios: their histories, tendencies, pictures
• Your team kit
• Full management staff
• Details about your country for visiting fans and players
• Any other information you want your opponents to be aware of

Rosters can take many forms; see the last thread for examples.

Please try to keep rosters of manageable length and to make sure all the key information will be obvious to your opponents. The main function of a roster is to provide them with the details so they can RP successfully against you.

RP permissions

NSS is a collaborative roleplaying exercise. Because of the nature of sport, it is generally necessary for your opponents to be able to write about your players in order for them to RP. Because of this you may see other players RP about your players, in a way that wouldn't be permitted in different RP contexts; absolute exclusive control of your characters isn't really possible in an NSS RP setting. Your RP permissions govern how free other players are to respond to match results or write about your team in general. The box should look like this:

Code: Select all

    My opponent, if they RP first, may do the following:
    Godmod scoring events: Yes/No
    RP injuries to my players: Yes/No
    Godmod injuries to my players: Yes/No
    Hand out yellow cards to my players: Yes/No
    Hand out red cards to my players: Yes/No
    Godmod other events: Yes/No

    Style modifier:

"Godmod" refers to extremely bizarre and unusual events. This is a subjective distinction, of course -- stranger things have happened in real life football than in any NSS roleplays -- but generally it is the difference between a ball bouncing in off the post and bouncing in off a passing seagull, between a player being injured by a sliding tackle and a player being injured by slipping on a banana skin, between words being spoken and magical curses being invoked.

You may include other specific permissions should you wish. However, the hosts will not enforce an RP permission denying other players the right to choose your goalscorers, unless your roster contains a specific explanation of why you have chosen this permission.

Style modifier

Your style modifier is a number between -5 and 5, indicating how attacking your team is. -5 is very defensive; such teams might see more results like 1-0, 0-0, or 1-2. +5 is very attacking; such teams might see more results like 4-3, 3-3, or 4-5. Your style modifier does not affect your likelihood of winning or margin of victory.

You may change your team's style modifier but must confirm this by TGing the hosts prior to cutoff.

Please make sure your style modifier is clearly visible, preferably by posting it on the first or last line of your roster.

Questions

If you have questions, want to offer feedback or make comments, or need to contact the hosts, please contact me directly via TG/DM, or post in the World Cup discussion thread.

[Valentine Z]

The Valentian International Football Association – World Cup 94.

Somewhere, beyond timelines, somewhere waiting for us… Our victory stands on the golden timeline, and watches as the team goes up the ranks. ♥

Valentian Kittens’ defeat at IAC was a relatively quick one – one that they did not expect to happen, and was instead hoping for a few more matches and games before their inevitable demise- I mean, defeat. Still, ever optimistic, the Kittens have decided to take it as a learning point, to what to expect and to do when it comes to playing against a few not-known-to-them teams in the multiverse, along with the usual teams that they know of – both the best and the relatively doable ones. The Valentians have had all the luck in the scenes of NSSCRA and later on IBC, and of course, they also do have some luck with Cup of Harmony. Will World Cup 94 be the breaking point (in a good way) for these Valentian football players, being able to go beyond the qualifications? Or will this yet another mediocre season for them? Or will they find something beyond football during the season, perhaps making more friends along the way, and hanging out with the other teams and their players? That is, once again, up to the Fate to decide. The Valentian Kittens’ adventures will be written once more alongside the history of the countries in Valentine Z.

OOC NOTE: Previous uniforms below; I still didn’t have the time to make the new ones yet, sorry!

NOTE: Stadium information is copy-pasted from World Cup 91’s RP.

Fate Stadium – Naypyithaw, Burma, territory of Valentine Z. And more information for tourists and players alike.

---

Contrary to what people might think, everything in Valentine Z are not exactly that large. It’s mostly people and the buildings that have gotten the enlargement treatment, while the natural flora and fauna, as well as the animals, remain the same. So, don’t worry too much about being maimed by a very large cat, or strangled by a 30 meter large python – we definitely don’t have those! Though for the former, Maine Coon cats are still around if that is your favourite cat breed! Anyway, Valentine Z – an Earth in another dimension and universe, is a home to approximately 15 billion Valentians averaging 16 feet in height, and are very, very friendly. Valentine Z is a two-planet power consisting of Earth (except for Australia and New Zealand, which belongs to Vidunderlige Nye Verden), and Mars which was terraformed around 5 to 6 decades after the founding of Valentine Z. Please feel free to look at the guide.

Now for the information regarding the stadium – Fate Stadium, located in the large and vast city of Naypyithaw, Burma, which is one of the countries under Valentine Z instead of being an autonomous region (such as Brazil being under the fair and happy rule of Clarissa Alanis Star Samantha). The Valentians always have had stadiums all over their world as decades go by, with the first few stadiums being established in the 2030s as a result of economic and societal stability after the nuclear war has ended the Pre-Valentian Era. Even then, none would have been as large as the aptly named Fate Stadium that was build back in the 2060s, home to many of the domestic sports that were played in Valentine Z - from the commonly known Olympics, to even Mesoamerican Ball Game known as Pitz which was dated to be played as early as 1650 BCE. Only difference is that we never sacrificed the winning or the losing team (nor the captains or managers) because, well, we don’t do sacrifices! Anyway, since then, the Fate Stadium has been subjected to many changes along the way, most in the form of improvements.

2035: The Stadium was first established and revealed to the public.
2037: Completion of the Fate Stadium.
2040: First Valentian Olympics held.
2041: First Pitz game organized and played. Also the very first time the stadium is changed for renovation and for a change of sports.
2050: More seats added.
2055: Addition of the far-viewers for the audience. (More details on this below.)
2088: Blown into pieces due to the Multiversal War. The Valentians lost a lot of Earth and Mars back then, though thankfully the causalities were kept to a minimum.
2093: Rebuilt after re-terraforming, then used for various sports and events, notably one for home matches of Valentine Z.

Fate Stadium boasts good acoustics, as well as large seats that were meant for Valentians. Fun fact: Discounting the cybernetic enhancements, oversized exoskeletons, Hollywood-style radiation mutations, and the like, the average height of a Valentian is 493.19 cm / 16' 2". In other words, international guests and folks will find it extremely comfortable and no longer will be doing balancing acts on their seats as they try their best to hold onto their props and snacks whilst still cheering for their favorite team. The seats will have more than enough space for an average human visitor (~ 6 ft), with plenty of legroom to spare. You certainly won’t feel like a little child on a very large and oversized adult seat, we will reassure you that. The Fate Stadium also has a seating capacity of 333,000 people, measuring a staggering and impressive 1120 meters by 934 meters, and possibly occupying a LOT of space. To offset the carbon footprint of such a place, the stadium has a lot of green spaces and was built using materials from sustainable sources. It took 3.5 months to build, mostly thanks to Valentijn being a good construction worker that doubles as a large crane. This is along with many other Valentians who have used their own powers to build the stadium, negating the need for a large number of paid workers, let alone unpaid workers.

Each seat and audience member is also provided with a decently-sized portable monitor upon being admitted into the stadium, we have built to IP69K, as well as bragging a 8K resolution. Each of these screens were then linked and connected to the array of overhead cameras all over the football field that would, in essence, present a 360-degree view of the field and the players alike. The arrays of camera are also powerful enough to see every single action in impeccable detail, and those who missed the action can rewind up to 30 minutes of playback from their respective screens. If you would like these gadgets, alongside other merchandise, the Fate Stadium also has room for such a thing. We Valentians sell our very own merchandise. There is plenty of purchasing options for everyone, with discounts to boot, with all proceeds going to charities or on improving the public infrastructure of Valentine Z. Additionally, we have up to 40 vacant stalls (out of the 150) if there are budding sellers who would like to sell their items in Valentine Z for our matchday. Simply approach Head Secretary Jamie Izabella Maxie Clara “The Elegant and Magnificent Mathematician” Pernella Ellie Natie Lexie Marie Valerie Ruby Æstriðr Fni. Clementine Millicent Lizbeth Alex Cass Eirian (Jamie Izabella Alex Cass Eirian) for details and contracts that you may need to sign.

After the WCQ93 edition, and as predicted, Head Coach Otto von Linkworth resigned. Apart from the issue of the team's performance, the international political crisis also contributed to the resignation of several figures from Khantari, among them, Stevencousin Football Association (SFA) Technical Director, Archie Fincastle; Scout Director, Mark Innboro, Deputy Head Coach, Henry von Suzymeyer. However, another Khantari citizen, Goalkeeper Coach Herbie Pijanowski still remains with SFA.

For the Cup of Harmony 85, SFA through its Chairman, Dr. Antanius Cassa has made a massive overhaul. The SFA has appointed former SK Whichford Capital player (Jauharius), Sebastian von Sephiroth as the new Technical Director. Former Kolompo FC (Anjung Batu) midfielder, Jalil Fitrah was appointed Scout Director. The void left by Otto von Linkworth was filled by Pretihouse Pirate Head Coach Stan Mystic. A familiar name in the National Super League, the individual who led the "Pirate" to the top four of the NSL league and qualified for the IFCF Challengers Cup. Former Jauharius international player, Jayson Wagner was appointed Deputy Head Coach, while Ronald Ankiel and Rusty Klein were appointed National Team Coaches.

The national team also dropped two players who played in WCQ93, midfielder Jelle Peeters (Meldrum Fall) and Spartak Wortheighton forward Brian Mastroeni. Veteran winger Rusty Klein has decided to retire and has been appointed as coach. Stan Mystic also called up two players who play abroad, midfielder Gregory Gigliotti from Eivora Athletic (Tikariot) and forward Sumith Wanigassoriya from Frampton Typhoon (Glossworth), also three from domestic clubs, midfielder Carlos Whitfield from Pretihouse Pirate and Simon Armas from Cassaholm Confidential, and striker Benjamin Spevar also from Cassaholm Confidential.

BRUSSELDORFEN NATIONAL FOOTBALL TEAM

~ LOS ALREDEDORES ~

The Brusseldorfen National Football Team, known as Los Alrededores, is gearing up for their participation in the 94th edition of the NationStates World Cup. Building on their previous successes, Los Alrededores aims to showcase their attacking prowess and continue to captivate football fans worldwide.

Under the guidance of the Brusseldorfen Football Federation (FFB), which boasts a rich 500-year history of football in the nation, the team represents the unity of diverse cultures and communities across Brusseldorf, united by their passion for the beautiful game.

Adorned in the stunning playing strip provided by Adidas, Los Alrededores will make a bold statement on the field:

Last night, Los Alrededores Manager Sir Craig Foster announced the 23-person squad that would be competing in the 94th NationStates World Cup. Following up his sentiments from last round, Craig once again stated he intends to put on a show.

Here's how the team lines up:

Los Alrededores favours a 4-2-2-2 'magic boxes' formation. Wingers are encouraged to make attacking runs into the opposition half, and cross into the 18-yard box. This style of play puts large amounts of pressure on an opposition's back line and takes full advantage of any structural weaknesses.

The full 23 man squad for the World Cup is announced as follows:

Dantopia Men's National Football Team

Dantopia

NicknameThe Lions
AssociationThe Dantopian Football Association (DFA)
Confederationthe South Pacific
Head CoachHarold Northgate
CaptainBarry Paine
Top scorerBarry Paine (55)
Home stadiumLion City Arena
Country codeDAN

The Dantopia men's national football team represents Dantopia in international football. The team's inaugural appearance in the 2023 South Pacific Cup saw the Lions winning the competition, defeating Evinea in the final 2-1. Dantopia will be participating in the Baptism of Fire tournament in preparation for its entry into a World Cup 94, being hosted by Graintfjall.

Lion City Arena, the national team's
stadium

Football is the most popular sport in Dantopia, and clubs in the country number in the tens of thousands, organised into hundreds of leagues. The Dantopian Football Association (DFA) governs football in Dantopia, and Dantopia also hosts one of the South Pacific’s most popular and richest footballing leagues, the Dantopian Premier League (DPL), with a number of hugely rich and successful clubs taking part in the league.

Fans of the Dantopian national team are fiercely supportive, but also extremely respectful, noted for helping clean up stadiums after the end of football games. Just as this behaviour was observed in Trolleborg, where the 2023 South Pacific Cup was hosted, it is expected this will also be the case in Graintfjall, during the World Cup. At home, clubs with intense rivalries contest derbies in which fan behaviour can sometimes unfortunately resort to a modest level of violence and crime. However, these derby rivalries rarely ever result in widespread or serious incidents.

Dantopia is home to many state of the art football stadiums, with the national team’s home stadium – The Lion City Arena – located in the nation’s capital, being the largest, with a capacity of 80,000. The stadium was recently renovated to increase the capacity from its original 60,000. The Lion City Arena also acts as a neutral venue for cup finals in Dantopia.

Team Image

Crest

The crest of the Dantopian national team features a blue lion's face on a red and white shield. The lion is the national animal of Dantopia and is frequently used in Dantopian imagery and state symbols.

Colours

Dantopia's traditional home colours are a navy shirt with white shorts and white socks. Traditionally the away strip is a reverse of the home; a white shirt with navy shorts and navy socks. A third uniform has been worn on occasion in recent years to prevent a clash in the event Dantopia play another team who play in blue and white, with this strip being an all red ensemble. The three uniforms therefore showcase the three colours of the Dantopian flag, red, white and blue.

Harold Northgate (Dantopian National Team, Dantopia)

Profile: 52y.o, 6'0'' (183cm)

Description: A Former Dantopian National Team Player, Northgate was a Centre Back by trade. Having held a number of managerial positions at smaller top tier clubs, Northgate took on the head coaching role of the under-21 National Team for a spell before being promoted to the First Team. Prior to the 2023 South Pacific Cup victory, Northgate was much maligned by the Dantopian press for his seeming lack of tactical nous in big games. However, Northgate is perhaps actually unfairly characterised by this, and has shown some tactical flexibility at times. Following his remarkable cup final win against Evinea, Northgate was hailed a national hero by the very journalists who had slated him previously. Northgate therefore enjoys a glowing reputation within Dantopian footballing circles today. He has also almost single-handedly made the waistcoat fashionable again. Most importantly however has been Northgate's ability to bring a united mindset to the Dantopian dressing room. The players clearly respect him and enjoy playing for him, and he has brought the best out of players like Jeffrey Danchevy, Gary McGoldrick and Lewis Shank.

Preferred Formations:

4-3-3 (single holding midfielder, inverted fullbacks, wide forwards)
3-5-2 (wing backs, single holding midfielder, one wide forward and one target man)
4-2-3-1 (double pivot in midfield, free roaming number 10, wide fullbacks, inverted wingers)

Team Tactics

---

Style Mod: +2.5

Style of Play:

Possession Based (the team normally average around 60%, or higher against weaker teams)

Inverted Full Backs (pack the midfield with passing options, keep the inside forwards wider, stretching the opponent's defence)

Set Piece Specialists (Excellent at set pieces all around, with strong headers of the ball, intricate corner and indirect free kick plays, and a number of players who can score easily from direct free kicks and penalties)

Sweeper Keeper (Goalkeeper comfortable in possession, acts as an auxiliary centre back when the team is in possession of the ball, and rushes off his line when appropriate to meet balls over the top or crosses into the box)

High Defensive Line (As a result of a possession based style and sweeper keeper, the defensive line is relatively high, squeezing opposition forwards of space between the defence and midfield)

Low Crosses and Cut Backs (chance creation is mostly created by the full backs and wingers who attempt driven crosses or cut backs for players inside - or making late runs into - the box)

Lobbed Through Balls (when playing on the counter attack, the team will often attempt lobbed through balls to the forwards who generally have the pace to beat the opposition defenders)

Expected formation: 3-5-2


New WC94 Kits:

Manager Akito Miura is very excited about his team's chances in the World Cup, despite this being their first-ever go at one. The squad will be more than fit to play, as they are participating in the Baptism of Fire prior to the World Cup. Miura insists on wing-play, with the intention of crossing the ball into his towering strikers, who have a height advantage over most players. His midfielders are expected to counter-press immediately after conceding possession, and his 3-5-2 is known to rotate between looking like a 3-3-4 (outside midfielders are allowed to get up field to try to cross the ball) and a 6-2-2, where the central midfielder drops all the way back and the two outside midfielders drop back as well). Because of this, they are a well-rounded squad with quality in all areas of the pitch.

The main stars of the show are expected to be Ankei Hilario and captain Ryuji Kaminari, both of whom led their sides to top-half finishes in the most recent season in the Kamijiroan Premiership Football League. Hilario is a gifted athlete who could honestly play any sport you put in front of him at a high level, but he chose football as his first love. Kaminari is just as gifted an athlete, but in other ways. He's fast, can dribble through just about anybody, and creates goals from thin air. He originally was going to declare for Japan, but he had a change of heart once his teammates at Jiro Independent talked him into taking a Kamijiroan call-up. Since then, he has been the star of every friendly match Kamijiro has taken part in. The country is very excited to see some official stats come up soon, though!

[Tikariot]

With four World Cup participations, including one Round of 16 appearance, Tikariot has been part of the rising Rushmorean sub-region of Pavola. After a whole slew of first knock-out-stage exits, Copa Rushmori 42 turned into what the whole nation hopes to be the turning point in their fates when they beat their neighbours and rivals of Græntfjall in the final for their first victory in a big tournament. After qualifying for the World Cup proper in WC93, the Snowy Owls unfortunately have not been able to defend their Copa Rushmori title. But they are back with a vengeance for World Cup 94: Darkness Descends.

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

Brian McAllister - 49
After having been assistant to now former coach Stuart Ekstrom, Brian McAllister made the move to Sargossa and enjoyed a lot more success than his former mentor, having two Copa Rushmori victories under his belt. With him, the Snowy Owls continue to utilize their flexible 4-3-3, in which the fullbacks can push forward and the wingers drop back depending on the game situatin, add unpredictability. With this formation, he also won Tikariot's first and personal third Copa Rushmori at CR42.

With their Baptism of Fire win still standing as their only title, the Pyazhnayan national team is coming off a run into the final of the CAFA and hopes to be able to build on this momentum.


Aleksandr Zavrashin - 45
Aleksandr Zavrashin's position as Pyazhnayan national coach is hanging somewhat in the balance after a few quite unsuccessful tournaments. The team will still employ its flexible 4-4-2 formation and an offensive style to surprise the opposing teams!

[The Cherven Cities]

Reprezentacja Czerwienska w Piłce Nożnej
(The Cherven Cities National Football Team)

National Overview: The Principality of the Cherven Cities is a small constitutional monarchy of 3.4 million people, located in Eastern Europe between Poland, Ukraine, and Slovakia. Although ethnically Polish, the Cherven Cities was part of the Soviet Union (as the Cherven People's Republic) from 1939 until the Soviet Collapse in 1987. During the period of Soviet occupation, the Cherven Cities developed a distinct identity apart from Polish (akin to IRL Moldovan-Romanian relations), and they have maintained their independence under the reinstated Buzhanski family of Polish nobles who were first appointed Princes of Cherven by Napoleon in 1809. The Cherven Cities is a highly developed nation, and has strengthened its economy significantly since the end of Communist rule. The people speak Chervenski, which is alternately classified as a distinct language or a dialect of Polish with strong Rusyn influence. They use both the Cyrillic and Latin alphabets, and drive on the right side of the road. The Cherven Cities is served by three international airports - Jan I Buzhanski International Airport located between the city of Chełm and the capital Czerwień, Ostrów International Airport outside of the largest city Przemyśl, and Danylo Romanovych International Airport near the second largest city, Lwów. Visitors may also travel by rail connections from Ukraine and Poland.

History of Cherven Football: The Cherven Cities Football Association (Związek Piłki Nożnej z Grodów Czerwieńskich or ZPN-GCZ) was founded 10 December 1987, shortly after the Cherven Cities declared independence from the Soviet Union. The ZPN-GCZ was intially formed from the eight football teams of the Cherven People's Sporting Association's Football League, and from 1988-1992 consisted of one league (I. Klasa) of eight teams. After 1993, the ZPN-GCZ has expanded dramatically with the introduction of new privately funded teams and arenas. Since 2004, the ZPN-GCZ consists of three leagues (Superklasa, I. Klasa, and II. Klasa) and 35 teams. In recent years the Superklasa has been defined by the three-way rivalry between F.C. Przemyśl, F.C. Chełm 'Zajączeka', and F.C. Orlęta Lwów.

Managerial Staff
Manager: Józef Sokolów (55) - Friend and sometimes rival of head coach Ignacy Smolak, Sokolów is a longtime manager for some of the ZPN-GCZ's most successful teams, including F.C. Przemyśl (2004-2009, 2015-2023) and F.C. Pogórzanie Sanok (2013-2014).

Head Coach: Ignacy Smolak (59) - The veteran coach of F.C. Orlęta Lwów, who has led his team to an impressive first place in two of the last four Superklasa seasons. A former footballer for F.C. Bełz (1985-1999).

Assistant Coach: Dominika Kamińska (39) - This former striker for F.C. Rzeszów (2007-2013) has made a name for herself as the coach for the successful F.C. Przemyśl's U-21 team since 2019.

Goalkeeper Coach: Erik Buzhanski (41) - Possibly the most controversial choice, Buzhanski is a member of the royal family (cousin to Prince Jan II) who briefly served as a goalkeeper for F.C. Czerwień (2004-2006). He is the co-owner and, since 2017, assistant coach of I. Klasa team F.C. Zamojski. He is widely believed to have been chosen for the national team because of his close relationship to the Heir Apparent, Pan Tadeusz Buzhanski.

Stadium:
Stadion Lwów is the largest and most modern stadium in the Cherven Cities. It is located in the southern suburbs of Lwów, the second largest city in the Cherven Cities. The stadium is serviced by the local electric tram service, and is 30 minutes commute from Danylo Romanovych International Airport. The stadium seats 34,480 total, including 400 VIP box seats. It is semi-enclosed and has a grass field.

Formation
Reprezentacja Czerwienska w Piłce Nożnej plays a 4-4-2 Diamond formation. The 4-4-2 Diamond has been coach Ignacy Smolak's preferred formation for several years, and has led F.C. Orlęta Lwów to three of the last four Superklasa championships. Whether Smolak can lead the national team to victory using the same approach has yet to be tested, but he can lean heavily on several members of his former team, including F.C. Orlęta Lwów team captain and starting Attacking Midfielder Kacper Walentowicz (#29).

World Cup 94
River Delte Representative Team
Tournament Squad

---

First Colours: All Green of The Valley
Change Colours: All Redshirts Away Team
Third Colour: All Gargoyle Salmon Gold
Kit Supplier: ediraf

Nickname: The Representatives
Formation: Attack-minded 4-3-3 'Stoicpress' - intense but unemotional defending from the front
Team Anthem: Three Salmon On Our Shirts (Never Stop The Leaping)

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

Attacking Modifier: +3

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

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

The Representatives
World Cup Finals Squad

---

As explained in a previous World Cup cycle, a condition known as hyper-gerontological syndrome, HGS, or commonly 'The Jerry' has impacted on travelling outside of the Delte Valley. To mitigate against this, the All-Week Super Ultra Premier Football Association, the FA, has forbidden players who travelled to away matches in previous cycles from travelling again, to preserve their health. Therefore the FA operated two squads for qualification, a home team and an away team almost entirely made up of new playes. Getting excited about qualifying for the World Cup proper, the FA has agreed to turn a blind eye to their own rules for the Finals squad in an effort to get the best team on the field in Graintfjall for the play-off match.

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

The most notable, though hardly surprising, change to the squad is the addition of young striker Henry Lightman, 17, who drops straight into the starting XI after impressing for the Away Team Mission and scoring 29 goals in 19 games over 24 days. Phew! Tai Cerotha, The Reps first and most admired striker, finds himself dropped to the bench in his place, while Kim Samrodd, whose perpetual complaining about losing his place to Perran Garimund led to him losing his place to Perran Garimund for the play-off, is left at home altogether behind... Perran Garimund... and the Taxhavn Ambassador's son, Eddie von Dach, 19. Sticking with the youth development theme, Enda Iodyne comes in to the second XI in place or Yerrit Isray, because any team could always do with more Iodyne.

The Team

PLAYER/HEAD COACH: Enor Perro, the only professional footballer in the valley
ASSISTANT: Mo Unden, a promising young tactical coach enjoying some admiration at Ughmirren FC
ASSISTANT: Romain Rivière, a Cooperite, doesn't have a word of Anglican
COACH: Aleard Sullenden, a brewery technician, discovered NSWC signups whilst on holiday
COACH: Darra Cankal, the only Sicoutinaise speaker in the valley, translator for the Cooperites
COACH: Davey Tinnalt, the head coach at Toddwardine Athletic, who was Enor's assistant at The Reps' debut World Cup finals, last time
CHIEF MEDIC: Dr.Orem Ustingham (Doc Orem), discovered Hyper-Gerontological Syndrome

As explained in a previous World Cup cycle, a condition known as hyper-gerontological syndrome, HGS, or commonly 'The Jerry' has impacted on travelling outside of the Delte Valley. To mitigate against this, the All-Week Super Ultra Premier Football Association, the FA, has forbidden players who travelled to away matches in previous cycles from travelling again, to preserve their health. Therefore the FA operates two squads for qualification, a home team and an away team almost entirely made up of new playes. Getting excited about the prospect of actually qualifying for the World Cup, the FA has agreed to turn a blind eye to their own rules for the play-off squad in an effort to get the best team on the field in Kelssek for the play-off match. Probably, if this team does well, it will stay there for the finals.

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

The most notable, though hardly surprising, change to the squad is the addition of young striker Henry Lightman who drops straight into the starting XI after impressing for the Away Team Mission and scoring 29 goals in 19 games over 19 days. Phew! Tai Cerotha, The Reps first and most admired striker, finds himself dropped to the bench in his place, as does Kim Samrodd whose perpetual complaining about losing his place to Perran Garimund has led to him losing his place to Perran Garimund.

Qualification Squad

As explained in a previous World Cup cycle, a condition known as hyper-gerontological syndrome, HGS, or commonly 'The Jerry' has impacted on travelling outside of the Delte Valley. To mitigate against this, the All-Week Super Ultra Premier Football Association, the FA, has forbidden players who travelled to away matches in previous cycles from travelling again, to preserve their health. Therefore the FA operates two squads for qualification, a home team and an away team almost entirely made up of new playes. Enor Perro, player-coach and the only professional footballer in the valley seems, if not immune, then at least very good at recovering from his extended trips abroad (he plays and lives in Farfadillis) and therefore has been named the only player and coach to work across both the home and away teams.

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

Not much happens in the Valley, as keen observers of recent World Cup dispatches and the national factbooks will eagerly attest to - and likewise, not much changes either. In the Valley, the last World Cup cycle only finished in March: that's only three months ago, Deltic time (making the unseemly and globally broadcast NSWC-ECC member spat about delays and timings and entry lists all seem rather... supererogatory, I suppose). Unsurprisingly, there isn't much change in the roster from that tournament, except the confirmation that indeed, Coach Enda Clentin, leader of The Reps for the last three cycles, has moved on and is succeeded by player-coach Enor Perro. In the last World Cup Finals, Enor was guided by Coach Clentin via a technically flakey video link-up; this time, he draws on his own personal experience to lead the team in it's fourth World Cup cycle.

Oh! Yes! How could I forget? The other key change is attacking midfielder Tassaught Ghadraen, who, having been fired from his job as a boiler plant operator in April, is now a parking attendant in Oswark. It all happened so quickly!

Away Team

AWAY COACH: Seamus Awton, the head coach at North Pacific FC, who is looking forward to the three-week free holiday of the World Cup Qualification cycle.
ASSISTANT: Delver Angersson, the head coach at Burye Deltic, who is also looking forward to the three-week free holiday.

The Away Team, below, features an all-new batch of players who are free to travel abroad, captained and co-managed (dogs help us) by the only professional footballer from the Valley, Enor, who gets a pass to play away again because he lives in the far faraway of Farfadillis anyway, and already has a serious dose of the Jerry as a result. He seems to be living with it, even if he does look seven to eleven years older than he should. He'll be leading a rag-tag bunch who really are the last men standing in the valley, what with the travel ban being in place for nearly a year and three World Cups, and all the good players already used up and therefore unable to go again. Coach Clentin said we'd run out soon, and he was right.

Notable inclusions are a number of teenagers as the pickings get a little thinner, with much-admirer furniture apprentice Henry Lightman, only 17, likely to feature as a starter up front. Enda Iodyne, David Tonsoe, Daniel Dight and Turse Querotha, all under 19, are selected as back-ups, whilst among three 19-year-olds is a foreign national in Taxhavnite Rolf von Dach, the son of Chargé d'affaires to the Valley, Emanuele von Dach. No strings pulled there, I'm sure. Another recognisable name for those who are interested is left-sided midfielder Numhon Sark, heir to the Sark Family Sportsmonger empire and impressive all-round sportsman, having recently competed in the Wetland Tribulation running event and the Honrad Hill Gravitational, where he rode a rolling cheese to within inches of the Gold Medal before getting his foot caught in a nutty Emmental and falling off into third place.

HISTORY

Chromatika first entered the World Cup in Cycle 73, going a modest 3-2-7. They made the Cup of Harmony in Cycle 74, and qualified for the first time in Cycle 75, losing in the Round of Sixteen. Chromatika would have their most successful campaign in World Cup 76, making it to the 3rd place Playoff before finishing in fourth place, despite the domestic upheaval in the country. Their first Manager, Franscesca Larriet-Cortes, was martyred at the end of World Cup 75; the political stresses of the job made it so that Lisa Amos, the team's Manager after Franscesca, resigned after World Cup 76.

The team would enjoy continued success from World Cup 77 through World Cup 81, as Silian Parker helped the squad qualify for the World Cup every time, and the team even made it to the Round of Sixteen or beyond three of those times. Even when Chromatika didn't enter World Cup 82, their return to the World Cup in 83 was a success, though both World Cup 83 and 84 saw the Anomalies stymied at the Proper Group Stage - 84 being under new management in Nepharan Konrad Evans.

World Cup 85 was a disaster - the team didn't qualify and didn't even make a deep run in the Cup of Harmony, leading to the sacking of Evans and the appointment of Richard Valens of Krytenia and Tim Landers of Delaclava. The team would qualify in World Cup 86, and 87, host the World Cup in 88, and return to the Proper in 89. However, Chromatika was not making the deep runs that the nation wanted/needed, so they said goodbye to Valens and Landers and looked inward.

Sandra Sybill and Rachel Hellion, key figures during Chromatika's runs in the early days, stepped in. A loss to Nyowani Kitara meant that they were eliminated, but the team turned around and won the 82nd Cup of Harmony. The following cycle, they made it to the Playoffs, where a loss in penalties to Zeta Reka and Hügeltaldom sealed the fate of Sybil and Hellion. Lisa Amos stepped in to lead the team to a respectable Quarterfinal finish in the resulting Cup of Harmony, and Chromatika was left wondering just how far they were away from the glory days.

Lev Repin came in, promising glory - and the Anomalies grabbed it off the cuff, winning their Group to qualify ahead of Ko-oren. Put into a group with Turori, Eura, and Cassadaigua, the Anomalies lost to Turori 3-0 before recovering to win narrowly over Eura and Cassadaigua. They'd fall 1-2 to perennial powerhouses Græntfjall, but they had finally broken back through.

Then, with the World Cup returning to Chromatika, the Anomalies went on the run of a lifetime, making their way to the World Cup Final, beating Zwangzug in the process. They eventually lost the final 3-4 to Banija, but had put themselves back as the #4 team in the world and capable of contending at the biggest stage.

MANAGEMENT STAFF

MG Lev Repin | Age: 62 | Height: 5 ft 9 in | Debut Cycle: 92
A footballing legend who had 177 caps for Mytanija at full back during his playing days, Lev Repin has been signed on to a three-cycle contract by the Chromatik Football Federation, with the option of extending for two more cycles before renegotiating. A schemer tactically and a passionate figure, Repin ihas made the vaunted 3-5-2/3-4-1-2 system work in Chromatika, not only helping them reach the World Cup Proper but make their first World Cup Final. If that is how much he can do in two cycles, how much more can he do in the cycles to come?

PHY Zoe "Z" Benne | Age 45 | Debut Cycle: 80
Once a heartthrob, Zoe Benne is married to former Chromatik superstar and now White Mountain club manager Erika Morningstar. Zoe has been a constant for thirteen cycles now, and has had to treat everything from sprained ankles to serious injuries after the bus sabotage last cycle. She remains a great asset.

SMC Shelby Arling | Age: 30 | Debut Cycle: 87
The presence of Arling as the Social Media Coordinator has become as important as ever. She is the primary communications officer for all things regarding the Senior Squad, and one of the confidants of Repin. All questions go through her, and she takes away any and all distractions.

Juxon Fillar remains the team's #1 keeper. Very good at set pieces and one-on-one scenarios, he's become better in transition and also become a leader in the locker room, being named the Captain a few cycles ago. Having reached the World Cup Final, he holds the second half collapse as one of the lowest points of his career - but if it wasn't for him, they would've never gotten there. He has won a Champions' League Title, and now been to a World Cup Final; the only thing that remains is to win one. Behind him is the ever reliable Kathie Begley, the best keeper of the Chromatik Red League in recent history, and a master at reading the flow of the game. She's been told that she should look at going abroad, but her love of Chromatik football in the Red League has kept her around the country and made her a fan favorite. Thankfully, she is devoid of any ego, so there is no problem in the locker room between the two - and as long as Wirr Tsi keeps making deep runs in international club football, there will be no removing her.

Two keepers have burst onto the scene as of late. Do Seung-Min has very good peripheral vision. When normally, keepers need to turn their heads to keep track of the ball, Do's excellent vision means that he is apt at faking out scorers by making them unaware of the fact that he was aware. His emergence at 1923 Esca has helped the team return to contention in Mytanija, and success at the international stage. Ahead of him by the slimmest of margins is one Hailee Sourtois, the heir-apparent in most circles of Juxon Fillar. With tremendous aerial reach, command of area, and jumping reach, Sourtois is a master of the aerial game. Possessing strong metal faculties with communication and decision-making, the Goalkeeper also has decent work rate, vision, and teamwork, along with positioning. Not the most natural of athletes, her quickness, aggression, and bravery could use some work, but decent anticipation, agility, and balance, along with high stamina make her one of the best goalkeeping prospects of her age group. She won the starting job at Sabrefell Athletic a season ago, and the team has been successful both domestically and at the international level.

Behind them, Lorée Bautista has developed into a tremendous prospect with a level head, great leaping skills, and a calm demeanor. Though he's fallen behind Do and Sourtois in terms of development, he is still the starting keeper at Sabrefell Moths and remains a more than capable backup.

Repin's system requires three in the back - and that has really stretched out Chromatika's defensive core. Moira Ansov has cemented herself into the Right Centre spot, a classic man-to-man defender with some physicality and poise, and a calling card is that of consistency and constant aggression, which has promoted her to be on the first team. Henri de Aea is one of the best to every put on the black and white uniform, and shows no signs of slowing down at thirty-four. Remaining at large as an aerial defender and a sure tackler, de Aea's career is one that shows just what can happen if someone takes risks. In his fourteenth World Cup as a member of the Anomalies, his legend as one of the best players to ever wear the checkered black and white continues to grow every time he steps onto the pitch. A master communicator and a decent tactician, de Aea is a irreplaceable piece of the squad. To his left will be one Keira Anbient, or, "The Other Keira". A pure willpower player first and foremost. She is neither the biggest player on the pitch, the fastest, nor the quickest to the ball; instead, she is just always around where the action is. Between the three of them, there is considerable height in the starting back three.

The second line sees Ami Coulibaly at Right Centre, the Banijan/Chromatik dual-national starting to show as one of the bright prospects for this team. Known for her friendship with the Tumbran Golden Duo of Trudy Harrison and Stephen Kerr at Chromatik, Coulibaly uses dogged determination and endless motor to frustrate her foes; she is also quite good on her feet and in passing the ball up the pitch. Klavida Régine has the unfortunate distinction of being behind Henri de Aea in the depth chart, but her ability to overcome her lack of height with the busiest feet makes her a mainstay on this squad. Almost like a hound dog at times with how doggedly she pursues anyone that dare cross her, she has been noted to be annoying by her opponents time and time again. Her feet absolutely never stop moving during the game, and that endless pace results in many a tired opponent. Rounding out the second trio is Ipati Aimée. A traditional type defender who's quite good at clearing away headers, playing man-to-man, and possessing a robust skillset, Aimée is great at holding down the back line and helping anchor the squad to hold onto late leads. She isn't the most offensive of the options, but can provide solid minutes defensively.

The inclusion of Paisley Paterson on this roster raised some eyebrows in the beginning. Born to a Chromatik mother and a Licentian father, Paterson grew up in Chromia, and only started football about five years ago. With size, pace, and most of all, a mentality of steel, Paterson has shown that she can be an enforcer on the pitch, not shying away from contact without drawing too many fouls. Her aerial game is still a cause for concern, but the dogged determination with which she pursues every play has made her an instant favorite no matter which coaching staff she works with. Her rising ability has reached the eyes of the CFF, who were impressed with how she performed at the DBC and called her up as Chromatika is a bit short on DCRs. Their faith has been rewarded, as Paterson has set herself up to the point where she is playing for Shamrock Cathair in Audioslavia. Gwina Ansoll was just an aerial defender but has become more than just that, growing more and more into a complete defender with speed and physicality. Cylie Nodis - the most offensive minded center back in Chromatik history - is also available, especially since her defensive game has improved with age. With a nose for the ball on every set piece, some deep crosses and the ability to thread the needle using either foot, it's been stated that she should change to a Defensive Midfielder at times. She's set in her ways, though, and insists she should play at fullback. (Un)fortunately, she's proficient enough that nobody can really force her to do anything otherwise.

Eileen Jackson-Jones is an intense, put-together defender who can handle almost anyone that gets into her zone, but has limitations when it gets to late in matches. She has been working hard on her staminaa, and as such, has been called up to provide backup at the Central Defener position. As needed, Twilight Mixon rounds out this group, possessing great fundamentals along with the ability to move forward up the pitch as the situation warrants. Odwin Muir is an ace defender on set pieces who isn't the best on the attack that is physical, dogged, and determined, while Rowan Harry makes up for her height with her aggressiveness and tenacity. She is not someone you want to cross on the pitch, as she has both a short temper and a long memory.

In Repin's system, these players will be asked to do so much - pin their ears back and defend, or sometimes run up the field and add to the attack. Some of them are better at some aspect of that than others. Grayson Fillar is a bullheaded, stubborn, physical right back will will outright impose his will on his opponents. Overshadowed by his younger sister, the electric Baillaire, Grayson was the one who actually chose to finish high school in Chromatika before making the move to 1830 Cathair. Though he says that he's proud of his sister (and he probably is), there is a deeply competitive streak in him that demands that he also make a name for himself atop Chromatika's slew of Fillars. On the pitch, he knows how to use his size to its utmost advantage, almost appearing larger than he is at times. He also understands the importance of momentum and tone, leading to his not being shy to commit a foul if one is needed. He has presence, physicality, and endurance, and has added an offensive edge to his game by providing some pace and some through-balls to the front. Alongside him is Edith Fillar, the next coming of Megan Kelly, or the Chromatik winger who's short but can run circles around would-be defenders and take over the game due to where she is on the pitch. She may not be the quickest off the ball, but she has the relentlessness that has been present on many great Chromatik wingers. With the mindset of a drill sergeant who is definitely the strictest on herself, she has sixty-eight caps and thirty-two goals at only twenty-two years of age - her age of dominance is only just starting, and time is on her side. She's added playing man-to-man defense to her arsenal of formidable skills, as well as the ability to contribute long-range assists with deadly, precise crosses.

For the players behind these two, any of them can be used at any time - what they provide are all distinct and unique enough to be sought after. Emilie Kreutzberg is recognizable due to a magnificent mane of red hair, and a dynamic playmaker who is a swarmer, endlessly trying to be around the ball on the attacking end to tire out the defender and take the shot. She can be a tad overaggressive at times, often leading to being offside, but she scores or contributes to scoring chances enough times to make up for it. Expect her to assist whomever is the Striker in the formation with constant pressure in front of the goal. She is a very offensively minded piece, as is the electrifying Ha'nei Ighv, a midfielder moonlighting at left back with her shooting skills, but insisting at playing so far back just to make things challenging. A bit of an insufferable know-it all with a good heart, she likes to create a high-pressing defensive line with the help of the central midfield. She is the perfect player for Repin's system that needs Wingbacks to contribute to the attack, and has won this spot and forced others to contend with her - just ask Edith Fillar and Vasiliy Marten Kuznetsov.

Elouan Christelle is a pass-first player with flair that can set up her teammate for the killer ball, while Ladonna Womack is the header specialist who's become a more complete threat as part of Sabrefell Athletic in Nephara. Ibayashi Haitou has earned a more important spot after progressing immensely in Quebec and Shingoryeo. He is very good at keeping pace and dropping medium to long crosses. He still struggles with playing through contact, but has the natural aptitude for vision and flow of the match while becoming Mipojoseon's starter. Manda Iarais a physically imposing player who's not afraid to use her size, Manda Iara likes to pick on one defender for the whole game and wear them down, going for the kill in the end, earning her the distinction of being clutch at the end of games. How will she fare at the international stage?

The newest face in the Wing-Back room is Crystle Tracy, the ambidextrous winger from Betham FC who is a pure shooter of the ball and makes runs at the goal. Miranda Anderson has had better time at Creed United will rejuvenate her career of being am ambidextrous winger/midfielder who has all the skills to be a great player but struggles with motivation and the killer instinct to properly take advantage. She's rather happy with deploying deep crosses and being an assist-focused player first. Cyrus Vette immediately gains attention due to his ability to be a creative winger who can shoot with either foot, pass the ball on to the striker in the formation, or even head things in. Sakia Damani, the streetballer, possesses raw skill, coordination, and quickness. There is a streak of rebelliousness that is present throughout every aspect of her play, as she loves bucking the trend and behaving in a way that is unorthodox.

Chromatika is very deep in this role - and it will be a battle every cycle to see who makes the roster. As the Repin era continues and things become more specialized, this may see some change.

Any formation needs at least one Defensive Midfielder, and Chromatika has the pick of the lot at the position, even after the retirement of Enigma Armageddon and Leysa Burns from the National Team. Kaia Larriet-Cortes has now taken the starting position. The niece of Franscesca Larriet-Cortes, she is an even-keeled Defensive Midfielder best described as a younger, female Enigma Armageddon. Both of them are imposing, both of them lead on the pitch, and both of them know how to contribute offensively when needed. Where Enigma commands attention by physical presence, Kaia is more subtle, being in all the right places at right times. She is often the visionary on the pitch, and nearing a hundred caps before age thirty. Mare Si, the Yassaca star, is now the backup, being a holding midfielder who then developed her shooting game to incorporate set pieces as well. The complete package, she'll play the Defensive Midfielder who has the capability to shoot if the opposition is caught napping. On the squad, she is known as the team's patient assassin, as her playmaking ability increases the longer the game goes.

Kateryna Zuniga is the annoying man-to-man defender that one can never shake, having over a hundredcaps to her name and having survived the careers of both Armageddon and Burns to earn the spot as the #1 Defensive Midfielder for the Anomalies for a long while. She may now be third on the list and not starting the biggest matches, but her locker room presence cannot be denied. Amélie Ju is a stereotypical holding midfielder who is rather adapt at catching would-be-speedsters and corralling them away from goal, and a capable substitute, while Alija Mesic-Mizayaki, the previous U-18 star, will return to the squad. She's very good at defending, but continues to learn how this position can also contribute to the attack, while perfecting her already formidable arsenal in regards to marking, tackling, and defensive positioning. Rounding out the group is Marion Goo - with the killer passes, the hard tackles, and the stability of mindset that has continued to grow.

Depending on the formation, these roles can be taken by two other Midfielders that contribute to the attack, or a Central Midfielder and an Attacking Midfielder to differentiate the roles. Baillaire Fillar is the flashiest of the Fillars, subscribing to the Hermaeus Mora/Haley Hauser school of Attacking Midfielders, marrying both styles by shooting first and asking questions later while making deep runs into opposing territory. With a creative and dramatic flair that doesn't really exist in other Chromatiks from the past, Baillaire is a playmaker through and through. With ninety-four caps by age 25, she hasn't scored as often as she'd have liked for the Anomalies, but there is still plenty of time enough for that - and now, she's the starter. Vasiliy Marten Kuznetsov had to decide between LWB and AM being his major role, and the veteran chose AM to allow LWBs to be filled out by others. Having learned how to position in the left-center side of a 3-5-2 as needed, VMK will be best utilized in the 3-4-1-2 version. A star who can do it all - drop back and defend, counter, cross, and shoot from range - Kuznetsov remains humble and focused on the final, ultimate goal - returning to the World Cup Final and this time winning it. Haley Hauser is the shoot first, ask questions later Attacking Midfielder, scoring almost one goal every two appearances. She remains one of the biggest scoring threats on this roster alongside VMK and Lavrentiy Xuen-Zhukov.

Alissar Phoen, on the other hand, is an ambidextrous shooter who actually prefers range to up close. With creativity and dramatic scoring ability, he has only scored in less than a Quarter of appearances, leading to some questioning if his skills are applicable on the international stage but showing that he can compensate with deadly crosses. Evin Françine-Miklavivec has continued to grow at Atletik Thessia - she can hang with most but not all attacking players while also getting by most but not all defenders; she's quick but not lightning-fast, strong but not like a bulldozer, and creative but not brilliant. Tyoma Laurette is a well-rounded Attacking Midfielder whose favorite thing to do is spin around people and leave them in the dust. He's added a decent passing game as part of his arsenal while being part of Rozelle.

Welcome back to prominence, Strikers. After a system which needed more of assist-minded players to play the position, Strikers are back and in full force. Lavrentiy Xuen-Zhukov has proven to be one of the world's premier strikers at age twenty - thirty-eight goals in thirty-eight caps, a complete forward that uses a combination of pace, stamina, and acceleration to fly past the opposition and score. Helping him out on the front line is one Candice Delaya, who's decent with both her feet and her head - with humility and the ability to show up in big matches.

Sandara Park is a poacher rather than a pure shooter, but the way that she is where she needs to be goes beyond anything that's usually taught, while Hank Killian remains on the roster even though he's been supplanted as the starter, being a pure playmaker who's willing to do it all, or in some cases, too much at times. Playing slightly behind him will be Kara Oveni, a beast in stature and in playstyle who possesses more of a big-play flair and the tendency to create chances for either herself or her partner. She can take over games by her persistent presence in front of the goal and her ability to work with other playmakers. Throw in one Marie Faucheux, a complete forward through and through who uses either foot to shoot from any range.

Elaine Howard-Dawes, the shooter who's lethal from close to midrange, can contribute as long as she doesn't need to get past someone to achieve that shot - she's working on that; Nam Il-San provides a tall option late in games for when height and aggression are needed.

TACTICAL INFORMATION
(Many thanks to Mytanija for the blueprint.)

Chromatika's 3-4-1-2 is based off of Mytanija's formation.

3-4-1-2 – IN POSSESSION: Chromatika's base formation for World Cup 92 qualification is a 3-4-1-2. This means there will be 3 central defenders, a wing-back on either side, 2 central midfielders, an attacking midfielder and 2 strikers on the pitch at any one time. This does not mean that the team will play in these positions for the whole game, as Chromatiks have adopted the Mytanar philosophy of flexibility in and out of possession, utilizing the fact that until very recently, they ran a 4-3-2-1/4-4-1-1. When Chromatika has the ball the 3-4-1-2 will change into more of a 3-2-5 shape, this is designed to try to create overloads in attacking areas so that the Chromatiks can create two versus one situations where the opposition have to make decisions on who they will engage with.

This 3-2-5 will be achieved firstly by one of the wing-backs (from the starting line-up, this would be right-sided wing-back Grayson Fillar) moving into a central midfield position to play alongside the deeper-lying of the two central midfielders (Kaia Larriet-Cortes, if among the Starting XI). This creates a pairing in central midfield which will be used to help the team build-up, providing passing options both in front of the central defensive three and the 5 players which end-up ahead of them.

That 5 is made-up of the opposite-sided wing-back (in this example it would be left wing-back Edith Fillar), the more advanced central midfielder (Baillaire Fillar), the attacking midfielder (Vasiliy Marten Kuznetsov); and the strikers (usually Xuen-Zhukov and Delaya). The wing-back has to push on to achieve the 3-2-5 shape, getting into the final third and maintaining the width on their side of the pitch. They will be given some license to get into the penalty area if the ball is on the other side, giving another option for their teammates. The more advanced central midfielder will be tasked with playing inside of the wing-back, in the so-called ‘half-space’, they will look to work with the wing-back to create an overload on their side of the pitch.

The attacking midfielder and the two strikers will interchange fairly freely, though one will always be tasked with pulling wide to ensure that width is maintained on both sides of the attacking ‘5’ with the aim of stretching the opposition’s defense across the width of the pitch. One striker (usually Delaya in the Starting XI) will drop deep to create space for rotations with the attacking midfielder and the other striker, those two looking to run into and exploit the space vacated by the other striker. These rotations are aimed to shift the opposition defenders around the pitch and create a bit of confusion.

In terms of progressing the play the team will look to move the ball with controlled pace. The team will aim to do this with utmost precision, as is the Chromatik way.

3-4-1-2 – OUT OF POSSESSION: Chromatika's reaction to losing the ball depends on where they actually lose possession on the pitch. Should they lose the ball high-up the pitch, in the opposition’s half, then there will be an instantaneous reaction to press the opponent with the ball to try to win it back quickly high-up the pitch. This is hoped to create chances nearer to the opposition’s goal, effectively using the press as a playmaker. If the opponent breaks through the initial press then Chromatika will look to recover into a 5-3-2 shape as below. Should Chromatika lose the ball nearer to their own goal then they will instantly look to recover into defensive positions to try to make themselves difficult to break down. This shape will be closer to a 5-3-2 than the 3-4-1-2 starting formation.

Both wing-backs will drop deeper, alongside the three central defenders to form the 5. The two central midfielders (Larriet-Cortes and Baillaire Fillar), will drop deep in front of the three central defenders to shield them a little and the attacking midfielder (Vasiily Marten Kuznetsov), will drop to play in front of them, operating as a bit of a guard dog – either sitting on an opposition deep-lying playmaker to try to stop the ball into them, or by leading a half-pitch press. The two strikers will look to stop the ball going back to the opposition’s central defenders and press them when they are in possession.

Chromatika will also play a variety of other formations should they want to play a little differently, the most likely ones they would change to from the 3-4-1-2 are a 3-5-2 (taking out the attacking midfielder and using three central midfielders); a 4-3-1-2 (pushing the wing-backs back to play as full-backs, removing a central defender and replacing them with a defensive or central midfielder); a 4-2-3-1 (pushing the wing-backs back to play as full-backs, removing a central defender and a striker and then playing a winger on either side); or a narrow 4-4-2 diamond (pushing the wing-backs back to play as full-backs, removing a central defender to play either as a defensive or central midfielder). Chromatika is very versed in the 4-2-3-1 and the 4-4-2, as they've played those before under previous management.

MAJOR DIFFERENCES BETWEEN CHROMATIK AND MYTANAR FOOTBALL: One might ask, how does Repin's Management of Mytanija differ from his Management of Chromatika? Chromatiks are, by nature, more precision-oriented and detail-focused; everything will be drilled to a t, players will be provided information regarding how to handle a myriad of situations, and though creativity will be encouraged, it will be stymied by expectations placed upon the roles.

Chromatika has a reputation of being a second-half team, built around finesse, stamina, and overwhelming pace in the final half hour of matches. This will continue to be the case, as the physique of players is not contingent upon a system of play. The Anomalies will continue to try to push games out of reach or make up deficits in the final half, and the final fifteen minutes will continue to be absolute hell for opposing clubs.

Home Away Third
Modifier: +3

Manager: Zachary Orengo, age 46
Assistant: Jürgen Eisenhower, age 47

Stadium: Stade de Torgos (90,00), Torgos

Goalkeepers
GK: Radek Šťastný, age 30, Rolalas FC
GK: Lukáš Hanzelka, age 27, Duke of the North
GK: Tomáš Přibyl, age 30, Royal Jam FC
GK: Dalma Kollár, age 30, Tanrısal (F)
GK: Illed Chávez Sedillo, age 31, Santos Luega (F)

The keeper position is one that always brings a lot of discussions about it, yet for this cycle there can be no denying Tomáš Přibyl as the best that Pasarga has and he has been teetering on the side of elite for a few years now, having broken through at Royal Jam at an early age and has completely dominated the position there. Clean sheets at the domestic level are routine, he need only do that more often with the national team to truly cement his legacy. There is no denying his shot stopped abilities and if goals are conceded, it is most likely a defensive break down in front of him that is the cause. Radek Šťastný is likely to keep the number two spot, having been a good keeper in the offensively slanted Premiership, while Dalma Kollár currently has taken the number three spot with a few stellar domestic seasons.

Defenders
LB: Jakub Svatoš, age 30, Mar Sara FC
LW/LB: Rudy Yáñez, age 31, CA Paulinthal
LB: Erik Klein, age 30, Baskita FC
CB: Michel Sarrazin, age 32, Hellinic Rouge
CB: Frančiška Marija Žužinjak, age 29, Stilinkeep FC (F)
CB: Ompoly Erôss, age 32, Club Stein-los
CB: Mozes Szölôsi, age 30, Tanrısal
CB: Szescõ Erôss, age 30, Stein-los Turkish
CB: René Petrie, age 30, Duke of the North
CB: Vidor Kovách, age 30, Duke of the North
CB: Markus Vida, age 30, CA Paulinthal
RB: Veronika Fábián, age 28, Marque (F)
RB: Andrija Hrvatin, age 32, Kirkenes FC (F)
RB: Viktor Szôcs, age 30, Hellinic Rouge

This is a defensive unit that on paper should be quite sound and in most games they are, however as seen during the Copa as well as the Finals, they are prone to a game every now and then where they can be cut through like a hot knife through butter. It is difficult to figure out why, especially when all the members of the pool at some of the best defenders that Pasarga has or has had in their history, but with the national team something just does not click once in awhile. The biggest strength is on the left side, where Svatoš and Yáñez are both accomplished at their position and will likely split time, the latter more often when the team is in search of a goal. The right is not quite as tricky, Hrvatin having earned her spot through domestic play and doing well enough last cycle, though Szôcs is ready to fill in a gap when called upon. Michel Sarrazin retains his spot through his keen leadership and captaincy as well as being a great partner for Mozes Szölôsi, who will hopefully be buoyed by the SuperLiga play to have a dominating display with the national team.

Midfielders

RW: Katinka Pálffy, age 30, Tanrısal (F)
RW: Kat Földessi, age 26, CA Paulinthal (F)
A/MR: Irenke Fenyvesi, age 30, Baskita FC (F)
AMC: Ilona Kárpáty, age 29, CA Paulinthal (F)
A/MC: Mária Szánthó, age 30, New Bastion (F)
MC: Moore Lafontaine, age 27, Stein-los Turkish
D/MC: Csongor Sebeôk, age 30, Hellinic Rouge
MC: Michael Baer, age 30, 1896 Ebor
D/MC: Czigany Vas, age 31, Goodfeather FC (F)
MC: Muhib Bandar Ba, age 30, Stein-los Turkish
LW: László Petô, age 30, Fligsive FC
A/ML: Gillen Madrigal López, age 30, Raynor City United (F)
LW: Asztrik Biró, age 25, Mâ Âlâmëómë

Perhaps it is not surprise that the team is suffering with a midfield projected to have a completely domestic starting selection while at the same time that the SuperLiga has taken a bit of hit in its actual and perceived quality. By no means is the SuperLiga suddenly a bad league, but it is not up there among the elite like it was for a few seasons. With the talisman of Vojmil Topić having been dropped from the squad, competition is fierce on the left hand side, and it is Asztrik Biró who looks to have emerged as the victorious one given his completely outstanding performance with Mâ Âlâmëómë, edging out López from United. The switch in tactics makes the need for several midfielders in the center, with an emphasis on a defensive mid to play both as destroyer and the fulcrum to the defense, a role that suits Sebeôk quite well. Ba looked to have been a sure in for one of the starting spots but to deny Baer after a wonderful title winning season with Ebor would be quite cruel and so the versatile midfielder gets the nod along with Kárpáty as the advanced player role in the middle. On the right is an intense battle between CAP and Tani and it is the younger Hurricane winger with her deadly crossing who wins the day, at least for this cycle.

Strikers

LW/ST: Elek Salai, age 30, AC Izotz Zubia
ST: Eustacio Corral Magana, age 30, CA Paulinthal
ST: Vázsony Sallay, age 31, Serrapince FC
ST: Nawar Taqwaa Bazzi, age 27, Stein-los Turkish
ST: Eduard Novaković, age 28, Tanrısal
ST: Neci Lôrinc, age 25, Galatica
ST: Piusz Gáspár, age 30, Bakermouth

It is a strange thing that the Wanderers have strikers who are absolutely lethal and consistent with their domestic clubs but lack that same sort of clinical finishing and consistency in form when with the national team. On his day, Elek Salai is among the best strikers in the worth, not too tall but not too big either, just a good and balanced striker who has enough pace about them to get past average defenders individually. He likes to play a slightly withdrawn to latch onto through balls or collect headers from his striking partner and run at defenses. Magana is a slightly taller Pasargan, not really a target forward per se but can play the role if needed. Moreover, he is a clinical finisher at club level but has thus far not had that same bite at the internationally level, which is why Sallay will be vying with him throughout the qualifying process from the second starting spot. Turkish continues to flourish at producing good talent and former U21 international Bazzi keeps up that tradition. Lôrinc might be one to watch for the future, with several of the striking options on the wrong side of 30 and they putting in two solid seasons in the SuperLiga.

Tactics

Zachary Orengo has come into the manager position and thrown the traditional Pasargan 4-4-2 and possession based attack out of the window. Orengo has brought in the press to the Wanderers, sacrificing one of the strikers for a stronger presence in the midfield to keep the middle from getting overrun when the press can not turn the defense over. In possession the formation turns into a 3-5-2 with one of the wingbacks moving forward to fill in the channel and produce a passing triangle while the other stays back as cover. The change in tactics managed to salvage the Wanderers' last qualifying campaign, getting them into the Playoff and then from there into the Finals. The attack floundered in the Finals and the poor performance in the Copa shows that the team might need quite a bit of time to bed into the new tactical approach.

Home Away

Manager
Dan Eastwood
Age: 67
This man from Eura seems to be following in the footsteps of Didrik Gjedrem, first taking the post of Raynor City United when he departed for the Marauders and now taking that post when he has stepped away from that position as well. At United he improved upon a solid foundation that Didrik had established and saw greater success as a result. The VSC is likely hoping that he will be able to replicate that with the national team, although there is a small fear that he may come to deviate from the traditional Vanorian formation. What is known is he can manage egos quite well and has a history of success wherever he goes, with being perhaps the greatest United manager in their long history. Having started his tenure with an AOCAF Cup victory has erased all doubts about his appointment and fans are now excited to see if he can be the one to help the team finally chase down that elusive sixth World Cup title.

Assistant Manager
Kasper Volheim
Age: 48
After a successful trial run with the recently reinstated U21 national team, Volheim was appointed the assistant manager for the senior team as well with the number of youth players that are in the team and pool at large. Having shown to have the capabilities of managing them at Raynor City United's youth team and being a good go between as an assistant in the Di Bradini Cup, Volheim looks to keep up the success rate at the senior level, helping lead the team to end its trophy drought in the regional championship.

Keepers
GK: Günter Obermaier, age 31, Ulsa
GK: Viktor Sandnes, age 27, Club ESF
GK: Kristian Finstad, age 27, Wexax United
GK: Ezio Castillo, age 32, Club Atlético Bexar
GK: Nikolai Simonsen, age 20, Baskita FC
Obermaier hangs on to the number one shirt, but only just, after the Marauders fell apart during the Finals and lacked any sort of consistency anywhere on the team, which with coupled with a lackluster season with Ulsa, his position did come under fire. Especially with Sandnes from Club ESF putting on display last season that was particularly impressive given the nature of the Premiership to be slanted towards a more offensive league. All keepers go through a funk however, even the most talented of them which Obermaier certainly has been for the better part of a decade and it would not be prudent to displace him just yet. The battle for the third spot on a Finals roster is particularly interesting thanks to the emergence of youngster Simonsen in Pasarga, sending Baskita into an IFCF place that had not been expected with the best defensive record in that league at the age of just nineteen, while Castillo continues to let the Spurs maintain and even flourish in the Premiership despite being from Sabine and Caddonia.

Defenders
R/CB: Ralph Winter, age 31, Brantisvogan FC
R/CB: Laura Adler, age 24, Mipojoseon (F)
CB: Louise Løvoll, age 27, Mar Sara FC (F)
CB: Johanna Metzger, age 27, Raynor City United (F)
CB: Samira Lindström, age 26, Raynor City United (F)
CB/DMC: Matthias Lieven, age 31, Crisisbless
LRCB: Pierre Wisniewski, age 31, Herzegovina City FC
L/CB: Ismail Blom, age 24, Tanrısal
CB: Franziska Maurer, age 24, Duke of the North (F)
Defense is not meant to be in the Vanorian DNA and yet despite that, there is a wealth of talent in the defensive end of the field that Eastwood has plenty of options to choose from depending upon the situation. The lead is obviously from Ralph Winter, whose move to Brantisvogan has shown that he has yet to slow down and still looks to be a towering force at the back, though Adler moving to Qubec and finding herself in the Champions League Final also means that right side is under threat. Louise Løvoll remains as stout as ever and has become one of the best defenders in the world since emerging at Mar Sara and anchoring the center of the defense for the Marauders, while the left side has a lot of competition but a champions performance with a good defensive record for Pierre Wisniewski allows him the spot. Expect Metzger, Lindström, and Lieven to all get plenty of looks, while Blom and Maurer might also get a few run ins after the latter two both had fairly convincing seasons in Pasarga.

Midfielders
LW: Julia Holt, age 27, Ulsa (F)
LW: Indra Söderström, age 31, Club Stein-los (F)
L/RW: Sylvia Reyna, age 31, Club Atlético Bexar (F)
LW: Daniella Åström, age 29, Hondo FC (F)
D/MC: Siegfried Franz, age 31, Mar Sara FC
D/MC: Maximilian Edvardsen, age 27, Pyathora Mariners FC
MC: Götz Konstantin, age 31, Bastion
MC: Selim Estrada Barrientos, age 28, Raynor City United
MC: Olof Lindberg, age 29, Hondo FC
A/MC: Heike Schoß, age 31, Jinja City FC (F)
AMC/ST: Laborious Hawk, age 759, Myana
AMC/ST: Petra Müthel, age 31, Ibini FC (F)
A/MC: Kensel Méndez, age 27, FC Capri
MC/AMLR: Götz Makatsch, age 31, CF Outineau
L/RW: Andreas Bjerk, age 27, Burnaby SC
AMLR: Miriam Troegner, age 31, Stahlburg City (F)
RW: Anja Loos, age 31, Jungle Strike FC (F)
Laborious Hawk will always provide a certain element of skill, class, and power in the middle of the park and with the leadership to boot having been captain for nearly as long as anyone can remember. It is a midfield pool that is quite deep and full of players who might be starting in other national teams but instead are having to fight for their places on the roster much less as starters with the Marauders. Indra Söderström had a career at Brinemouth and with the Marauders and has made the left wing her own, but she found herself second fiddle and is now gone from the starting line up as she has left Brinemouth, replaced by a pair of players who are actually getting playing time. Holt looks to make the position her own with good play in Eura but Indra's fate shows how quickly things can change and so she must tread carefully. Schoß is a playmaking maestro and has learned to work off of Hawk to get the past options to use her playmaking abilities, and breakout star Edvardsen looks to show a bit of steel the defensive midfield role. Bjerk keeps their spot on the right and how can you drop him with how well he plays and the ability to cut in so decisively from the wing.

Forwards
ST: Reinaldo Sierra Núñez, age 27, FC Capri
ST: Jutta Palminger, age 30, FC Capri (F)
ST/LW: Lothas Ludwig, age 31, Soldarian FC
ST: Torsten Hahn, age 29, Soldarian FC
ST: Taina Vääräniemi, age 29, Dí Maozöxê (F)
ST: Hadi Lundström, age 29, Raynor City United (F)
ST: Klara Holmberg, age 24, Yassaca FC (F)
ST/AMC: Julia Hahn, age 24, Hondo FC (F)
Like Indra, Ludwig found himself dropped from his domestic club and likewise, despite all the accolades and claims of being one of the best strikers in the world right now, he seemed to have been dropped from the NT. Yet both he and Indra were able to secure late window transfers out to clubs where they will be starting but they will both start the campaign on the bench. The strike force must press on and will be looking for Hadi Lundström to replicate her form with United with the national team and to have a good partnership with Palminger. Failing that, Palminger's club teammate in Núñez might be given a go as they have excellent chemistry but Taina Vääräniemi also has pace and has been doing well in Farfadillis. Torsten Hahn could be the answer if Palminger fails to live up to expectation, though Holmberg and Julia Hahn have the blissful ignorance and confidence of youth to take on players their better with the sort of reckless abandon that can surprise even the most resolute of defenders.

About the Manager

---

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

#100 Goblin Grundjee (Forward)
Goblin Grundjee who is the first ever non-human sportsperson from Indusse. The Grundjee's are one of the families of the Goblin species that was created by the scientists by DNA Modelling. The scientists created a new race of Goblins through gene editing and combining the DNAs of Humans with certain animals and Algae. The goblin species were divided into three families were Grundjees are one of the major part. The other two families are called Mithys and Auris. The current members of the grundjee family is Colonel Grundjee who is a Colonel in the royal army of Indusse. The gene of colonel Grundjee was created by merging the genes of three colonels of the army with the genes of a eagle and the green algae. The green algae plays a necessary role in getting the green Color of the skin. The other member is Goblin Grundjee who is currently playing for the juniors. His gene was created by merging the genes of David Bekem, a former football and of a wild horse. The green algae is also a necessary part of the composition. The grundjee family has the green composition of skins due to green algae. Whereas, Mithys has a brownish red skin due to the presence of Blue-green Algae with Iron sediments, Auris family has the skin Color of a normal human as there isn't any presence of algae. The skin textures and patterns of the goblins are same as the humans and the color is the only thing that can discriminate it with humans. The scientific community believe that the goblin race will create revolution in the world of science. The creation of Goblin Grundjee was overseen by fellow player Bechun Butea who also played a major role in bringing Grundjee as a experimental player. Well, Grundjee is currently one of the best strikers the nation has seen.

Home Ground

---

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


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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

1. GK Edou Bittencourt (KOR, 31) - Miradela GD
10. GK Carl Malmstroom (KOR, 29) - Tanques AOE
20. GK Wemagun Cyamou (KOR, 24) - Maethoru SC
30. GK Semelau (f) Odholthen (KOR, 16) - Gehrenna FC

Bittencourt has - after a few cycles of the KFA moving between goalies - earned the starting spot. He started last cycle as well, so continuity returns. Malmstroom has proven to be a quality backup in much the same style of Bittencourt: commanding, involved in the organisation of his teammates. Cyamou's name came up as the go-to line GK, a penalty killer, and being slightly better on the ball than the other two. Odholthen's rise is meteoric, earning a spot with forever 10th place Gehrenna, but at his age it's more about getting experience - even from training with the big boys - than being thrown to the wolves in an actual game.


2. RB Hikomoto Mizuno (KOR, 34) - Tempala United Saints, DAR
12. RB Edialor Aiamara (KOR, 33) - Maethoru SC
22. RB Leon Bares (KOR, 32) - Branvon CD
32. RB Folkert Nieuwboom (KOR, 18) - Straudum VV

Mizuno remains the golden standard at the position. It was difficult to name proper bench players: everyone who turned out at the position in recent years is in the same age bracket: Boulanger (32), Bares (32), Aiamara (33), Grootenhuis (36), Gicquel (34), so young blood is definitely necessary. That young blood might be Nieuwboom, signed to a fairly decent contract at Straudum, a club who 1) are known for having a keen eye for defenders and 2) are always happy to phase out older players for younger ones, resulting in an IFCF CL-level squad with an average age half a decade under Maethoru and Aminey. For the bench: Aiamara offers - still - some explosiveness and attacking intent, Bares can play well under tough circumstances - and is one of very, very few players to have played for both Miradela and Branvon, for a good reason.

3. CB Harmon Mulvahil (KOR, 29) - Osarese Marcadia, AUD
13. CB Ffibwd yTewgneoll (KOR, 30) - Baskita FC, PAS
23. CB Abi Lavaud (KOR, 26) - Damogran, SRS
33. CB Charley Mellowby (KOR, 19) - Maynard AFC

4. CB Minne van Schelven (KOR, 35) - Lhor, CMT
14. CB Aoremis Aelea (KOR, 26) - Holdenberg, EUR
24. CB Niniaw yLleamaid (KOR, 24) - Dury FC, PFA
34. CB Egesa Aedil (KOR, 21) - Tanques AOE

5. CB Jubenar Mallerbury (KOR, 30) - Zilverstraat SC, TSA
15. CB Phineas Betteridge (KOR, 31) - Kawarthas District, KSK
25. CB Marc Hoevink (KOR, 30) - IFK Liverpool United, DAR
35. CB Keiki Todaka (KOR, 17) - Katashi-Kanatsu

Now there's a star-studded group of players. 12 centre-backs in all, in four shifts. The first shift are the regulars: getting on in age, especially Van Schelven, but they're still the cream of the crop. Where possible (and where the schedule allows) Van Schelven and Mulvahil will play everything. yTewgneoll and Betteridge should see plenty of playing time, and from there on it gradually declines (and chances of starting a game go down even more drastically) until we get to Mellowby, Aedil, and Todaka, who are the three most talented young players right now. The Ko-orenite tendency to field older players is also a factor here. Players like yLleamaid, Hoevink, Lavaud, and even Betteridge have gotten a lot of callups but generally haven't played that much in the past. Aelea arrived on the scene fiercely with his Holdenberg transfer.

Mulvahil has a higher tendency to crash into challenges with all associated risks, while Mallerbury can cover way more ground. Betteridge is a good option in build-up, Mellowby tends to float further upfield, Aelea and Todaka are great tacticians. Van Schelven and Hoevink are communicators and potential captains.

6. LB Emi (f) van Kalvenhaar (KOR, 30) - Urrheddiao, CMT
16. LB Sujimbee Haggigana (KOR, 21) - Maethoru SC
26. LB Kaneyoshi Kaji (KOR, 21) - Katashi-Kanatsu
36. LB Ryōsei Nagatomo (KOR, 20) - Katashi Azula

A very talented left side could even see the players further down the list play on the right wing. Van Kalvenhaar is undisputed and dominant. Haggigana was signed by Maethoru and continued his development, while Kaji should be a bit higher on (offensive) capability on the ball and also given that he's had way more opportunities to prove himself on Kanatsu - which he did. Nagatomo is an even younger option.


7. DM Jolgurasaun Dhentingun (KOR, 31) - Mercia Bromham, KRY
17. DM Abraham Torre (KOR, 21) - Miradela GD

A position that's coming back into vogue: the holding/defensive midfielder. Often operating aside a centreback (in build up, at least), Dhentingun is the best option with Torre close behind. Bulky, but good on the ball and exceptional in positioning and passing. Uozomi didn't get the nod this time.

18. RM Ciriaco Laza (KOR, 21) - Miradela GD
38. RM Naohiro Enokida (KOR, 28) - Advance Alara

Both of these are the main assisters on their score-happy teams, but they don't always gel with the centre-first strategy of the Dragonflies. They'll still get enough playing time, depending on the opponent, don't worry.

8. CM Purelbusak Entatingun (KOR, 24) - Maethoru SC
28. CM Ryobe Takagaki (KOR, 24) - Katashi-Kanatsu

9. CM Geomraff yCinrhadd (KOR, 29) - Shamrock Cathair, AUD
29. DM Cornelious Magrath (KOR, 36) - Maethoru SC

The central midfielders, who'll get most playing time in the 5-4-1, are Entatingun and yCinrhadd. The former's path to glory was simple and straightforward: be good at football, live near the capitals, get a Maethoru contract. The latter... not so much. A true journeyman, yCinrhadd's odyssey finally led to a national team starting spot, even if he probably doesn't play for Shamrock by the time the World Cup rolls around - he boasts a record of having played in Taeshan, Squidroidia, Brenecia, Zwangzug, Quebec, and the Squornshelan Remnant States, with his only minutes on a Ko-orenite side coming in the third tier with Zinchester. Either way... he's good, and he's seen some sh-. Takagaki will work better with more offensive 3-1 or 2-2 midfield setups, mostly with Enokida and Tsuchimoto.

19. LM Parala Abbagan (KOR, 32) - Kingsgrove, BRE
39. LM Nanko Wormstal (KOR, 31) - Metropolis Alligators, VLD

Always important to the national team - and usually to their club sides as well - Abbagan and Wormstal have an impressive career that's mostly behind them rather than ahead of them.

X. AM Authusa Aoriene (KOR, 31) - Maethoru SC
1X. AM Teiichi Tsuchimoto (KOR, 21) - Katashi-Kanatsu
2X. RM Swini yLlwteis (KOR, 16) - Sydberg Olympia
3X. LM Shutel Tehinnau (KOR, 21) - Maethoru SC

These are the offensive options. They'll play in the regular diamond formation, or in a wider diamond, or any 3-1 or 2-2 situation, but if we're guarding a late lead they might be taken off. Their job is to assist, especially if there are no wingers on the field. Aoriene and Tsuchimoto both get a bunch of goals for their club, while yLlwteis and Tehinnau are wider options - and a lot younger, too. Aoriene is a true Maethorian troll: clever, crafty, annoying, with his trade working well for him at creative Maethoru, while Tsuchimoto is more technical. Tehinnau is a future captain option, maybe.


=. ST Rex Archer (KOR, 28) - Aminey CS
1=. ST Aurin Aomelirea (KOR, 27) - Revolutionaries, EUR
37. SS Hurorinul Bonstirthinden (KOR, 28) - Aminey CS
38. SS Nunstaurilin Joljaurinden (KOR, 29) - Maethoru SC
2=. ST Maran Lignanier (KOR, 24) - Advance Alara
3=. RS Toshitsugu Hiraide (KOR, 16) - Sydberg Olympia

Archer is the main target man, a bit of a phantom at times but a poacher - something we need. Aomelirea is a more complete - if less accurate/efficient - option. Bonstirthinden and Joljaurinden are our aces, but not true strikers, and can only play if there's some scoring ability on midfield or else we might have the ball a bunch without forming a scoring threat - the both of them are Gehrennan, play for rival sides, but link up extremely well when they're together, but in a 5-4-1 that only happens if one (or both) play as midfielders instead. Lignanier plays for Alara who tend to score at will (but will have to do so in the Second Division now) and Hiraide is the biggest up and coming striker we have.


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

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

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


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


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

Records and history

MAIN

CHANGE

Summary
Kelssek's tactical culture is fluid and direct, generally favouring technical and versatile players. The team boasts a high-skilled and creative midfield with a threat from some top goalscoring talent. While not weaknesses per se, goalkeeping and central defence are areas where the team is pretty average.

Ryan Terlock GK, Holdenberg City [EUR], b. Wynleth, NC (age 28) - 24 caps | All-rounder who does everything well but not exceptionally so, other than using his 194cm height to good advantage; strikers have been known to complain that his arms and legs seem to go everywhere.

Cassie Mrythe GK, Latrobe Athletic, b. Neorvins, NFT (age 32) - 5 caps | A solid pair of gloves, vocal and commanding with her defence.

Jenas Mariapu GK, Kirkenes FC, b. Outineau, BL (age 25) - 0 caps | A product of the Association Ariddienne youth program. Pounces and catches balls with catlike technique.

Nacuémiró Buené LB/LWB, Burnaby SC, b. records sketchy, Farfadillis (age 30) - 58 caps, 3 goals | Burnaby captain, Patriotes Cup winner and three-time league champion. A skill player with a great cross, defensively sound but prone to get bullied by bigger attackers.

Tegan Earrach LB, FC Capri [VAL], b. Sherwood Park, Con. (age 31) - 10 caps | Defensively minded but can put in a cross if she has to.

Ingrid Lambert CB, Burnaby SC, b. Burnaby, Kon. (age 29) - 19 caps, 2 goals | Athletic tackler and ball-playing defender who isn't afraid to get forward.

Loisé Camserhe CB, Osarese Marcadia [AUD], b. Place, Farfadillis (age 28) - 9 caps | Grew up in Breton and part of Shearwater's Champions League winning team. Kelssek were anxious to call up this bulldog of a defender before Farfadillis does.

Eoin Bream CB, Revolutionaries [EUR], b. Latrobe, Etn. (age 28) - 8 caps | Commanding in the air and remarkably agile for a big guy. Reads the game well and can make a forward pass or two.

Phillip Lozic CB, Mliona-Lpaka [VIL], b. Stawamus, Kon. (age 32) - 88 caps | Mobile, athletic central defender with a strong aerial presence.

Curtis Holman CB/RB, Gallant Cross [BRE], b. Langley, Kon. (age 30) - 28 caps, 1 goal | A crafty operator on the flanks or a reliable ball-winner down the middle.

Eilwen Loew RB/LB, Guard FC [DAR], b. Burnaby, Kon. (age 23) - 0 caps | Impressed on loan at CS Saint-Rémy, but with Burnaby's full-back needs highly settled for years to come they settled for sending her off with the highest bidder.

Tobert Usher RB, CF Outineau, b. Outineau, Bea. (age 24) - 0 caps | Has got a wicked cross on him and loves an underlap.

Êsêkïl dí Völará CM, Mâ Âlâmëómë [FFD], b. NaN, Farfadillis (age 28) - 55 caps, 5 goals | A deep-lying playmaker who relentlessly recycles possession and is hard to get around with the ball on the ground.

Eamon Breault CM, Olympique Chuckio [DAR], b. Breton, HG (age 24) - 29 caps, 3 goals | A technically adept pinger of the ball into channels, Breault caught international notice on Shearwater's run to the Champions League title.

Issac Lafrenière CM/LM, Kionao Locals [TUR], b. Outineau, Beaulac (age 30) - 81 caps, 5 goals | Creative, flashy, can unlock the defence with incisive passing from deep, and drops like a rag doll if he thinks he can get a free kick.

Alejandra Younes DM/CM, Dalaris City [PFA], b. Mistgwyn, NC (age 25) - 0 caps | Dogged midfield anchor. Determined but also impulsive and easily wound-up.

Terence de Landa AM, Directus [EUR], b. Burnaby, Kon. (age 24) - 1 cap | Dynamic, gangly playmaker at his best carrying the ball forward.

Colm Ó Tuathail [captain] LM/CAM, Wynleth Flyers, b. Colwyn, Noua Cymru (age 37) - 177 caps, 32 goals | A goalscoring threat who also has the acceleration and dribbling skill to give defences the literal run-around. With Shamrock Cathair, won one Audioslavian title and a couple of silver IFCF medals, recently added the Euraleague title to his collection. Made history as Kelssek's first-ever "Galactico".

Bryan Hartpoach LW/RW, Alnio [CMT], b. Vickery, Con. (age 31) - 62 caps, 6 goals | Quick, elusive, and technically adept. May wander into the middle sometimes. Often deployed as a wrong-footed right wing for the national team.

Julius Heer LW, Schemerdrecht SVV [KOR], b. Bramleigh, NC (age 26) - 20 caps | Full-backs HATE his technical ability and his love of nutmegging them on the byline. Has a koi fish tattoo on his left arm for some reason.

Miles Mann RW, Falourr [EUR], b. Outineau, BL (age 29) - 32 caps, 4 goals | Dynamic and determined. Big xHustle/90 numbers.

Rory Joseph RM, Burnaby SC, b. Kingstown, Kon. (age 25) - 0 caps | Very rapid and already good enough to rotate into a title-winning side. The rest will surely follow.

Loïc Maçon-Petrault [vice-captain] ST, Jaglan Royals [SRS], b. Saint-Rémy, BL (age 32) - 114 caps, 45 goals | An elusive and quick striker and noted jazz fan. A skilled forward who is able to dribble past his marker and paint the corners of the goal with the ball. Often looked to as the guy to get the team goals to dig out of any holes they've dug for themselves.

Thor Ibrahim Ahmad AM/F RC, Directus [EUR], b. Outineau, BL (age 29) - 66 caps, 23 goals | Fox in the box, or indeed outside of it with his ability to unleash a cannon from distance. A big-occasion player with a knack for scoring crucial goals.

Danielle Maradrogba ST, Coret Hawks [NPH], b. Outineau, BL (age 30) - 44 caps, 11 goals | Power and placement is what you get when she gets an inch of space. An exciting, highly touted talent produced from the underdog hero Association Ariddienne club.

Zoé Goh-Lemaire ST, 1923 Esca [MYT], b. Kirkenes (age 22) - 12 caps, 2 goals | Playmaking forward with great link up play and a sense for gobbling up rebounds.

Lionel an Deòir ST, Torbay Thunder, b. Torbay (age 20) - 3 caps | Exciting talent with lots of pace and an inadvisedly powerful shot.

Manager: François St-Louis | A veritable legend as a player, spending much of a successful career at Albrecht in Candelarian And Marquez and formed a key part of the Kelssek team that went to the World Cup quarterfinals. As manager, won a KFL league title, the Patriotes Cup, and the Vilitan Cove Invitational at Strathcona Internationals.

Corners: Colm Ó Tuathail, Bryan Hartpoach, Nacuémiró Buené

Fan culture
Kelssek's national teams are nicknamed the Voyagers in reference to the fact that major international tournaments are practically always in a different region and many time zones away (unless Kelssek is hosting it, of course).

Maybe Tomorrow is common to all national teams:
Voyagers, they keep on calling me
Down the road, that's where I'll always be
Onward Kelssek, the shout from everyone
Step by step, fighting on, till glory's won
Maybe tomorrow, our journey will be done
Until tomorrow, we'll just keep movin' on
Tune: "Maybe Tomorrow" (Littlest Hobo theme song)

Summer of 46 is sport-specific, and references the hosting of World Cup 46, the watershed in soccer actually becoming popular in Kelssek.
Got my first real football
Played it on a plastic pitch
Rubber pellets went everywhere
It was the cycle of forty-six
Oh when I look back now
Thought that it would last forever
Those were the football glory days

Tune: Summer of '69

THE UNITED REPUBLICS OF YUEZHOU - WORLD CUP 94 ROSTER
月州联合共和国 - 国际足球队

Badge and kits designed by Txakhaxi's Tahuatxi Storefront.

It's a new dawn in Yue football! But, like, actually this time. While the YFA's decision to boot Chen Huikang to the curb (where he brought Cassadaigua back to the World Cup two years after doing the same for Yuezhou) was widely panned at the time, Elaine Ashdown has turned out to be an excellent NT manager in her own right. Under the Nepharan legend, the Dragons scored three signature victories over Pemecutan and The Holy Empire, narrowly finishing second before winning a one-game playoff to qualify. It's looking like rumors of the Yue NT's demise have been significantly exaggerated despite the recent retirement of the "Golden Generation" - but can they overcome a tough group draw and take the next step of making the knockouts?

COACHING STAFF

Manager: Elaine ASHDOWN, 58 (NPH)
As a player, Elaine Ashdown was the midfielder of her generation, and one of the finest in Nephara's long lineage of star CMs. As a manager, results have been more mixed, although she's at least held her own at Brinemouth and Gaelic Club. She favors a more patient style than Chen Huikang's, emphasizing structure and workrate in midfield. However, far from a traditional defensive disciplinarian, she also likes giving talented, creative wing players room to operate, often using individual creativity to cover for her tactical setups. While soft-spoken, she knows what it takes to win, and will do whatever it takes to get her players to learn the same.

Assistant Manager: Corinne MERSIADES, 49 (NPH)
Last seen with North Laithland, Mersiades has had a number of stints managing Nepharan clubs. But despite her clear tactical prowess, she's never quite been able to put it all together in her club career. Still, her skillset makes her well-suited to inform Ashdown's strategy and help Yuezhou perform better against stronger teams - something they've historically struggled with.

Assistant Manager: LIANG Bo, 54
Best known domestically for his time at the helm of the Yincheng Capitals, a dynasty strongly associated with the former socialist government. Probably not especially known internationally after unsuccessful stints in Abanhfleft and Brenecia. Although he's a bit of a passion merchant as a manager, Liang will help Ashdown better connect with players, and will be glad to finally escape from the B-League.

Goalkeeping Coach: LU Qiang, 40
A former national team goalkeeper who plied her trade with Audioslavia's Guerrilla Cathair, Lu has limited coaching experience but was known as a leader in her day, and she hopes to join Ruo Xiaolan in the Yue NT keepers-turned-successful managers club.

Advisor: KANG Guilin, 76
The former legendary manager of Nangang Royals and both the Græntfjaller and Yue national teams, Kang is now a crotchety old man whose return to the NT was somewhat forced upon Ashdown by the FA, and who is fiercely patriotic to the point of raising mild concern.

GOALKEEPERS

#01 - GK - ZHAO Deliang (赵德亮) - 28 - Atletik Thessia (MYT)
A goalkeeping phenom who won a historic Golden Ball (both in terms of position and age) en route to Jiangdong's first league title in years before becoming even more successful abroad. A cool, confident, and physically imposing general on the pitch, albeit a bit traditionalist in playstyle.

---

#12 - GK - Elaine XU (f) - 23 - West Couno United (TMB)
Known for her distribution as well as her heroics outside of the penalty box, Xu's family escaped to Tumbra at the outbreak of the Yue Civil War, but the young, flashy goalkeeper is now back and readying a long-term challenge to Zhao Deliang's starting spot.
#23 - GK - JIAWEI Lau - 29 - Northern Stallions (BRE)
Decades of Yue coaching dogma that the goalkeeper's only job should be keeping the ball out of the net have culminated in Jiawei Lau, an acrobatic shot-stopper who just punts the ball whenever he makes a save. Has really come into his own with Northern Stallions after a rocky start to his career.

CENTER-BACKS

#05 - RCB - YUAN Mingrong (袁明荣) (C) - 34 - Ararat (MYT)
An intelligent, cultured center-back who's grown into an absolute rock at the back. Has proven himself in Mytanija as one of the best defenders in the league, and has rapidly developed into a strong all-around center-back who the Top League's player of the season in his prime.

#06 - LCB - HU Jiewen (胡介问) - 31 - Corinthians No Longer (NPH)
Known for his composure, leadership, and surefootedness, Hu is a strong, quick center-back with a high ceiling - although some inconsistency has kept him from fully reaching it. Still, his well-roundedness and ability to drive forwards with the ball make him an excellent fit for the Dragons' system.

---

#03 - LCB - LI Jianguo - 31 - Tihon (CMT)
Li is the best of the team's center-backs with the ball at his feet, making him best-suited for a three-man defense where he can make surging runs and spray accurate long-range passes with either foot. The physicality has never quite caught up to the ball-playing ability, as he's very prone to be pushed around by bigger strikers, leaving him somewhat vulnerable in a four-at-the-back system.

#15 - CB - DENG Daiyu (f) - 28 - Newark Argyle (TMB)
A physical, aggressive defender who's also weirdly good at line-breaking passes. Captained Jiangdong Tycoons before their relegation, earning a transfer to a much higher-quality league in the process.

FULLBACKS

#24 - LB - LU Lanying (f) (卢兰英) - 30 - Capitol City FC (BNJ)
A quick, athletic left-back, Lu is strong when driving forwards and tracking back but could work on her crossing. In Ashdown's setup, she'll be pushed up more than she was at Rutland Dockside pre-transfer, but will still be relied upon to shore up the flanks.

#25 - RB - DONG Xiaowang (董小王) - 30 - Megabrantid (SRS)
A pacy, strong fullback well-suited to the modern game. Could be creatively deployed as a winger in a pinch, and will provide much of the width in this setup.

---

#14 - LB/LWB - HUANG Han - 25 - Torbay Thunder (KSK)
An energetic, pacy wingback who thrived as a crosser in Olympic Nangang's three-at-the-back system, but may not be suited to the defensive rigors of a left-back role on the national team yet. Could plausibly play on the wing.

#28 - RB - PU Zhongtai - 24 - Northandryun Rovers (QUE)
A Quebecois dual national better known as Park Jeong-Tae, Pu is a tall, lanky fullback known for his athleticism and skill on the ball.

HOLDING MIDFIELDERS

#19 - CDM/CM - WAN Sheping (万射平) - 32 - Wirr Tsi (CMT)
An old-school, defensive-minded midfielder who's surprisingly good in the air despite being 5'8". Earned a move to countryman Zhaxi Nanlei’s Wirr Tsi squad a few seasons ago, and has rapidly become one of Chromatika's finest midfielders and a key figure in the newly-minted Red League juggernauts.

#29 - CDM/CM - ZHAXI Jianzan (扎喜坚赞) - 24 - Chardonnay Rangers (NPH)
A hard-nosed defensive midfielder who will do anything on the field to win - and who has the athletic ability and field vision, if not a full suite of on-ball tools yet, to make it happen. Not related to Zhaxi Nanlei.

---

#17 - CM - GUO Hong - 31 - 1896 Ebor (MYT)
A quick, diminutive water-carrier who excels at breaking up attacks and has grown into a key role for 1896 Ebor. Has a tendency to pick up cards.

#37 - CM - FANG Yuhui (f) - 30 - North Granby (CDG)
Not the most physically imposing, but her seemingly endless stamina and excellent positioning empower her to show up almost everywhere on the pitch when needed to make a tackle. Not great offensively, but improving.

#39 - DM - CAI Renshu - 33 - Binclestead Wood (FVA)
The linchpin of Olympic Nangang's surprise title-winning side, Cai does all the little stuff right and has seemingly endless energy that he uses to effectively stymie opposing midfields.

ATTACKING MIDFIELDERS

#77 - LAM/RAM - JIANG Jieren (江杰任) - 32 - Osarese Marcadia (AUD)
An incredibly quick winger, albeit one slightly out of place on the left, Jiang’s ball-retention skills need to work and he tends to play with too much ambition. Still, he’s absolutely electric when on, with a combination of scoring and playmaking on the counterattack that really make an impact.

#08 - CM/CAM - Kara Mingsdottír ZHANG (f) (张白兰) - 24 - Liria Prizren (MYT)
The YFA spent a lot of time and effort convincing Karolíná Mingsdottír to declare for Yuezhou's national team instead of Græntfjall's, but it's become apparent that the young midfielder was worth the trouble. A well-rounded midfield prospect whose speed and technique makes her devastating on the counterattack, and who has a propensity for scoring wondergoals.

#11 - RAM/RW - LUO Nanwei (罗南伟) - 29 - FC Inter Nantwich (TMB)
An extraordinarily athletic player who worked his way onto Guodui's senior team as a teenager; despite some injuries during his youth career, his pace and dynamic creativity make him a terror with the ball, although he can be erratic and inconsistent. Impressed in the Zenith despite suffering relegation with Gaelic Club - enough to make him the starting right-winger after Huang Shedong's ACL tear. Now, he's been made an eight-million-dollar man, and impressed in his first few seasons with Nantwich.

---

#20 - LW/RW - DAI Qiu - 32 - Nangang Royals
A lithe, two-footed winger who compensates for a relative lack of pace with an all-around skill on the ball. Fierce Nanhai separatist who returned home after a stint in Græntfjall fizzled out and immediately became one of the best players in the Yue league.

#34 - LW/ST - LIN Qingling (f) - 26 - Sporting Noordende (CNR)
An versatile attacker most skilled at setting up others, Lin isn't the most athletic but has a lot of tricks in her bag to compensate.

#30 - SS/CAM - LUO Chuan (f) - 31 - Spenson Suburbia (ZWZ)
An agile, technically adept attacking midfielder at her best when distributing to others, but who tends to get bullied off the ball.

#22 - RW - FU Xiaoxi - 27 - Brisara FC (CMT)
A smooth and skilled winger, if perhaps overly deferential on the attack.

STRIKERS

#09 - ST - LIANG Wei (梁伟) - 29 - Chardonnay Rangers (NPH)
A tall, imposing target man who finally escaped the yo-yo life in Kelssek by...moving to a promotion favorite in Nephara's First Division. Can be a little immature at times, but absolutely lit up the second tier to the tune of thirty-six goals last season, earning himself the #9 before underwhelming at the Copa Rushmori.

---

#21 - JI Weibo - 33 - Brantisvogan (SRS)
While selfish to a fault and not the easiest personality to work with, Ji Weibo laid waste to South Newlandia to the tune of 17 goals in 22 matches as a teenager and has only continued to develop as a goalscorer. A nightmare of a poacher who’s posed an increased long-range threat lately, Ji isn’t much of a team player but had a renaissance year with Brantisvogan and has temporarily seized the starting spot (but whose antics will probably lose it again).

#33 - ST - Sienna LI (f) - 21 - Rolalas FC (VAL)
A Nepharan dual national, Li grew up idolizing Liu Huiying and definitely adopted some of the ex-Corvistone star's game to her own. Stronger, less agile, and more of a traditional nine than Liu, but still likes to drop deep and distribute when the opportunity presents itself.

THE UNITED REPUBLICS OF YUEZHOU - WORLD CUP 94 QUALIFYING POOL
月州联合共和国 - 国际足球队

Badge and kits designed by Txakhaxi's Tahuatxi Storefront.

It's a new dawn in Yue football! Chen Huikang led the team to a Cup of Harmony runners-up, and in his second act took a transitional roster to the World Cup proper, even nicking three points off of the Squornshelans in the process. Of course, by then he was on his way out, as the YFA maintained their time-honored tradition of alienating their best managers by chasing foreign talent. So Chen goes to Cassadaigua, and legendary World Cup-winning midfielder Elaine Ashdown comes to Yuezhou. The YFA knows Ashdown is a proven winner - but can she elevate the Dragons any further than Chen, especially with many of the players from Yuezhou's Golden Generation retiring? Or will it be another ten years before Yuezhou return to relevance?

COACHING STAFF

Manager: Elaine ASHDOWN, 57 (NPH)
As a player, Elaine Ashdown was the midfielder of her generation, and one of the finest in Nephara's long lineage of star CMs. As a manager, results have been more mixed, although she's at least held her own at Brinemouth and Gaelic Club. She favors a more patient style than Chen Huikang's, emphasizing structure and workrate in midfield. However, far from a traditional defensive disciplinarian, she also likes giving talented, creative wing players room to operate, often using individual creativity to cover for her tactical setups. While soft-spoken, she knows what it takes to win, and will do whatever it takes to get her players to learn the same.

Assistant Manager: Corinne MERSIADES, 48 (NPH)
Last seen with North Laithland, Mersiades has had a number of stints managing Nepharan clubs. But despite her clear tactical prowess, she's never quite been able to put it all together in her club career. Still, her skillset makes her well-suited to inform Ashdown's strategy and help Yuezhou perform better against stronger teams - something they've historically struggled with.

Assistant Manager: LIANG Bo, 53
Best known domestically for his time at the helm of the Yincheng Capitals, a dynasty strongly associated with the former socialist government. Probably not especially known internationally after unsuccessful stints in Abanhfleft and Brenecia. Although he's a bit of a passion merchant as a manager, Liang will help Ashdown better connect with players, and will be glad to finally escape from the B-League.

Goalkeeping Coach: LU Qiang, 39
A former national team goalkeeper who plied her trade with Audioslavia's Guerrilla Cathair, Lu has limited coaching experience but was known as a leader in her day, and she hopes to join Ruo Xiaolan in the Yue NT keepers-turned-successful managers club.

Advisor: KANG Guilin, 75
The former legendary manager of Nangang Royals and both the Græntfjaller and Yue national teams, Kang is now a crotchety old man whose return to the NT was somewhat forced upon Ashdown by the FA, and who is fiercely patriotic to the point of raising mild concern.

GOALKEEPERS

#01 - GK - ZHAO Deliang (赵德亮) - 27 - Atletik Thessia (MYT)
A goalkeeping phenom who won a historic Golden Ball (both in terms of position and age) en route to Jiangdong's first league title in years before becoming even more successful abroad. A cool, confident, and physically imposing general on the pitch, albeit a bit traditionalist in playstyle.

---

#12 - GK - Elaine XU (f) - 22 - West Couno United (TMB)
Known for her distribution as well as her heroics outside of the penalty box, Xu's family escaped to Tumbra at the outbreak of the Yue Civil War, but the young, flashy goalkeeper is now back and readying a long-term challenge to Zhao Deliang's starting spot.

#23 - GK - JIAWEI Lau - 28 - Northern Stallions (BRE)
Decades of Yue coaching dogma that the goalkeeper's only job should be keeping the ball out of the net have culminated in Jiawei Lau, an acrobatic shot-stopper who just punts the ball whenever he makes a save. Has really come into his own with Northern Stallions after a rocky start to his career.

#34 - GK - MING Xilang - 38 - Mitra (ERM)
A hypermodern albeit inconsistent sweeper-keeper whose strengths are highlighted against more counterattacking teams. Rose to cult hero status when he was suddenly pressed into service and unexpectedly stepped up in the Cup of Harmony 84 knockouts.

CENTER-BACKS

#05 - RCB - YUAN Mingrong (袁明荣) (C) - 33 - Ararat (MYT)
An intelligent, cultured center-back who's grown into an absolute rock at the back. Has proven himself in Mytanija as one of the best defenders in the league, and has rapidly developed into a strong all-around center-back who the Top League's player of the season in his prime.

#06 - LCB - HU Jiewen (胡介问) - 30 - Corinthians No Longer (NPH)
Known for his composure, leadership, and surefootedness, Hu is a strong, quick center-back with a high ceiling - although some inconsistency has kept him from fully reaching it. Still, his well-roundedness and ability to drive forwards with the ball make him an excellent fit for the Dragons' system.

---

#03 - CB - ZHU Mingxia - 33 - Crossroads (CMT)
A strong, aerially imposing center-back who has no idea what to do with possession. Has shown his adaptability and endurance by holding his own in Tequilo, Nephara, and Chromatika, although as a side effect, he is now despised by the entire city of Vermillion.

#27 - LCB - LI Jianguo - 30 - Tihon (CMT)
Li is the best of the team's center-backs with the ball at his feet, making him best-suited for a three-man defense where he can make surging runs and spray accurate long-range passes with either foot. The physicality has never quite caught up to the ball-playing ability, as he's very prone to be pushed around by bigger strikers, leaving him somewhat vulnerable in a four-at-the-back system.

#26 - RCB - Garrett SHANGYUAN - 26 - Chatswood (NPH)
Quick and physically imposing, the dual national Shangyuan is known for his flashy blocks and his lumbering runs upfield, as well as his almost magnetic attraction to being booked.

#15 - CB - DENG Daiyu (f) - 27 - Newark Argyle (TMB)
A physical, aggressive defender who's also weirdly good at line-breaking passes. Captained Jiangdong Tycoons before their relegation, earning a transfer to a much higher-quality league in the process.

#06 - CB/DM - GUO Xiawei - 34 - Avondale City (SYL)
Formerly a makeshift libero in a back three, Guo Xiawei has often been redeployed as a defensive midfielder. One of the first of his generation of Yue players to sign abroad, for since-relegated Tanques AOE of the Ko-orenite Top League, Guo has flashes of brilliance with the ball and is very good at reading and intercepting passes, but tends to make unforced errors on defense worryingly often despite his experience.

FULLBACKS

#24 - LB - LU Lanying (f) (卢兰英) - 29 - Capitol City FC (BNJ)
A quick, athletic left-back, Lu is strong when driving forwards and tracking back but could work on her crossing. In Ashdown's setup, she'll be pushed up more than she was at Rutland Dockside pre-transfer, but will still be relied upon to shore up the flanks.

#25 - RB - DONG Xiaowang (董小王) - 29 - Megabrantid (SRS)
A pacy, strong fullback well-suited to the modern game. Could be creatively deployed as a winger in a pinch, and will provide much of the width in this setup.

---

#14 - LB/LWB - HUANG Han - 24 - Torbay Thunder (KSK)
An energetic, pacy wingback who thrived as a crosser in Olympic Nangang's three-at-the-back system, but may not be suited to the defensive rigors of a left-back role on the national team yet. Could plausibly play on the wing.

#28 - RB - PU Zhongtai - 23 - Northandryun Rovers (QUE)
A Quebecois dual national better known as Park Jeong-Tae, Pu is a tall, lanky fullback known for his athleticism and skill on the ball.

#34 - LB/LCB - BAO Yuwei - 26 - Olympic Nangang
A diligent, composed fullback who was primarily a center-back until his conversion unlocked Olympic Nangang's defense en route to a surprise YS!L title. Stocky but deceptively quick for someone with his strength, but he's better without the ball than with it.

#13 - RB - Diadora REEVE (f) - 35 - Coret Hawks (NPH)
Diadora Reeve at her peak was an athletic, relatively attack-minded fullback who held down right-back for years. She's slowed a bit with age, but has gained in experience and now offers a more defensive, composed alternative at right-back. We think she had a Yue grandfather or something, which is why she's turned up on the Yue national team despite everyone previously thinking she was Nepharim.

HOLDING MIDFIELDERS

#19 - CDM/CM - WAN Sheping (万射平) - 31 - Wirr Tsi (CMT)
An old-school, defensive-minded midfielder who's surprisingly good in the air despite being 5'8". Earned a move to countryman Zhaxi Nanlei’s Wirr Tsi squad a few seasons ago, and has rapidly become one of Chromatika's finest midfielders and a key figure in the newly-minted Red League juggernauts.

#29 - CDM/CM - ZHAXI Jianzan (扎喜坚赞) - 23 - Chardonnay Rangers (NPH)
A hard-nosed defensive midfielder who will do anything on the field to win - and who has the athletic ability and field vision, if not a full suite of on-ball tools yet, to make it happen. Not related to Zhaxi Nanlei.

---

#17 - CM - GUO Hong - 30 - 1896 Ebor (MYT)
A quick, diminutive water-carrier who excels at breaking up attacks and has grown into a key role for 1896 Ebor. Has a tendency to pick up cards.

#39 - DM - CAI Renshu - 32 - Binclestead Wood (FVA)
The linchpin of Olympic Nangang's surprise title-winning side, Cai does all the little stuff right and has seemingly endless energy that he uses to effectively stymie opposing midfields.

ATTACKING MIDFIELDERS

#77 - LAM/RAM - JIANG Jieren (江杰任) - 31 - Osarese Marcadia (AUD)
An incredibly quick winger, albeit one slightly out of place on the left, Jiang’s ball-retention skills need to work and he tends to play with too much ambition. Still, he’s absolutely electric when on, with a combination of scoring and playmaking on the counterattack that really make an impact.

#08 - CM/CAM - Kara Mingsdottír ZHANG (f) (张白兰) - 23 - Liria Prizren (MYT)
The YFA spent a lot of time and effort convincing Karolíná Mingsdottír to declare for Yuezhou's national team instead of Græntfjall's, but it's become apparent that the young midfielder was worth the trouble. A well-rounded midfield prospect whose speed and technique makes her devastating on the counterattack, and who has a propensity for scoring wondergoals.

#11 - RAM/RW - LUO Nanwei (罗南伟) - 28 - FC Inter Nantwich (TMB)
An extraordinarily athletic player who worked his way onto Guodui's senior team as a teenager; despite some injuries during his youth career, his pace and dynamic creativity make him a terror with the ball, although he can be erratic and inconsistent. Impressed in the Zenith despite suffering relegation with Gaelic Club - enough to make him the starting right-winger after Huang Shedong's ACL tear. Now, he's been made an eight-million-dollar man, and impressed in his first few seasons with Nantwich.

---

#20 - LW/RW - DAI Qiu - 31 - Nangang Royals
A lithe, two-footed winger who compensates for a relative lack of pace with an all-around skill on the ball. Fierce Nanhai separatist who returned home after a stint in Græntfjall fizzled out and immediately became one of the best players in the Yue league.

#34 - LW/ST - LIN Qingling (f) - 25 - Sporting Noordende (CNR)
An versatile attacker most skilled at setting up others, Lin isn't the most athletic but has a lot of tricks in her bag to compensate.

#30 - SS/CAM - LUO Chuan (f) - 30 - Spenson Suburbia (ZWZ)
An agile, technically adept attacking midfielder at her best when distributing to others, but who tends to get bullied off the ball.

#50 - CAM - WANG Guiren - 27 - SC Jiangdong
A passing savant with surprising athleticism who likes to shoot from long range, Wang has been called up to gauge his potential as an attacking spark off the bench despite his complete uselessness without the ball.

#22 - RW - FU Xiaoxi - 26 - Brisara FC (CMT)
A smooth and skilled winger, if perhaps overly deferential on the attack.

#32 - RW - MAO Aiguo - 32 - Rozelle Archers (BRE)
A quick, tricky winger who moves like the ball's glued to his feet, both because he's an excellent dribbler and because he never passes.

STRIKERS

#21 - JI Weibo (冀伟波) - 32 - Brantisvogan (SRS)
While selfish to a fault and not the easiest personality to work with, Ji Weibo laid waste to South Newlandia to the tune of 17 goals in 22 matches as a teenager and has only continued to develop as a goalscorer. A nightmare of a poacher who’s posed an increased long-range threat lately, Ji isn’t much of a team player but had a renaissance year with Brantisvogan and has temporarily seized the starting spot (but whose antics will probably lose it again).

---

#09 - ST - LIANG Wei - 28 - Chardonnay Rangers (NPH)
A tall, imposing target man who finally escaped the yo-yo life in Kelssek by...moving to a promotion favorite in Nephara's First Division. Can be a little immature at times, but absolutely lit up the second tier to the tune of thirty-six goals last season, earning himself the #9 before underwhelming at the Copa Rushmori.

#33 - ST - Sienna LI (f) - 20 - Rolalas FC (VAL)
A Nepharan dual national, Li grew up idolizing Liu Huiying and definitely adopted some of the ex-Corvistone star's game to her own. Stronger, less agile, and more of a traditional nine than Liu, but still likes to drop deep and distribute when the opportunity presents itself.

Nation Information
Full Name: The Republic of Patriotlandia

Demonym: Patriotlandian
Population: 6,614,900
Trigram: PTR

Roster and Staff
Manager: Jean-Alexandre Carignan
Assistant Manager: Hippolyte Guerin
Assistant Manager: Ruth Flynn

Formation: 4-4-2
The new formation used by the national team looks to remedy a few issues from the previous cycle as well as play to the players strengths. The two forwards will be able to assist each other without the need from constant inside runs from wingers granting width to the attack. The lateral midfielders will still take part in the attack but also provide some much needed defense on the flanks to stop enemy offenses before they reach the back line. In the center, the two midfielders will be the main distributors on offense. Expect the ball to move quickly once it gets to their feet.

Player Roles:
Captain: Elie Manahan
Penalty Taker: Lucien Graham
Free Kick Taker: Alexandre Desrives
Corner Kick Taker: Elie Manahan

The starting 11 is expected to rotate every match or so between the listed players.

The formation is spearheaded once again by Lucien Graham. The striker uses his stature to be a prolific target man in the box but he still has plenty of talent to dribble his way in on goal. The striking duo is completed by young phenom Francis Fortinello. The forward made a name for himself in the domestic league and leads the nation's premier club, Union Port-la-Ville, in scoring.
Desrives is once again back in the attacking midfield role. The elite passer will look to open up the defense and distribute the ball with expert precision, but he could surprise the defense with a try on goal. Down the wings, Langlais and Rodin have shown great counter attacking potential last cycle and they will no doubt try to recreate their exploits. At central midfield, Elie Manahan's leadership and tactical acumen will help the team coordinate attacks and prepare the defense. The young player has plenty of experience in big games and the team has put their faith in him by naming him captain.
On defense, Bruno Vaillancourt will look to overlap with Langlais on the wings on attack, but he has also shown great aptitude at blocking crosses into the box. Bromont and Dalton are both run of the mill defensive backs. They are not scared to get a risky tackle in if it means stopping a high quality chance. On the right side, Loïc Laflèche will defend the wing and seldom gets in trouble.
In goal, Paul Lataupe provides a last line of defense for the Patriotlandian net and his stoic attitude helps calm the team in stressful situation.

On the bench, though they will most likely get a fair share of starts, Hannah Graham, sister of Lucien, and Glenn Wils have shown plenty of upside in their league appearances. Alexia Brant is closing in on her last cycle but the attacking midfielder will look to make a lasting impact before leaving the national selection. Francoeur and Sarazin have displayed good chemistry at Stade Conflans. Hopefully they are able to bring this type of energy to the national side. Samuelle Savoie-Smith got the call from manager Jean Alexandre Carignan despite limited playing time in the Tikariot Premier League, but she has shown impressive offensive upside in her few appearances so far. Lachapelle and Fulton saw decent playing time last cycle but they once again see themselves on the sideline to start the qualifiers. The defense substitutes display both youth and experience. Ranger and Deringer have accumulated plenty of matchday experience in their career while Olivier Tomlin hopes that this callup will provide his chance to show his true potential. Finally, Laura O'Neill has displayed great skill defending the Stade Conflans net in the now renamed Super League and will be hopeful to transfer her talent to the world stage.

Stadia

Navy Memorial Stadium
Capacity: 62,000
Built on the historical navy training grounds, Navy Memorial Stadium is the crown jewel of the Super League. Blending traditional and modern architectural cues, the stadium is impressive not only in size but beauty inside and out. The sixty-two thousand all seated capacity is also the highest of any stadium in the country. The stadium is located on the shores of Abelanne Bay by the old citadelle. Fans can also enjoy plenty of shops and restaurants on the way to the game with the city center only a few minutes away.


Arène Alphonse-Sintegne
Capacity: 50,000
Arène Alphonse-Sintègne is retractable roof sports stadium in Couen, Foubrac, Patriotlandia. Home of AS Couen, the stadium is not the newest but the atmosphere and experience is still top class. It offers great views from every seat and the central jumbotron, remiscent of an hockey arena, ensures all the visitors get as close to the action as possible. The stadium is a stone throw away from the Couen city center but is fairly accessible by public transit via a network of shuttles throughout the city. The city is also inviting to travelling fans with plenty of attractions like visiting the National Arsenal and the old town center.


Champs-de-Mars
Capacity: 24,000
Located in Conflans in the Province of Sourterre near the old ceremonial plaza of the same name. Champs-de-Mars Stadium's design features large sail-like decorations that reminds fans of the home team's colours and logo. This feature also helps give the façade a more closed look to a somewhat open stadium. The openness helps with wind and air circulation which cools down fans on hot summer days. The concourse serves traditional stadium foods as well as local favourites like popcorn on the cob. On the pitch, the brand new premium quality hybrid grass will ensure players are playing at their best for all the fans present.

Uniforms (Supplied by Siru) - Home/Away

Change is the name of the game for The Dandelions. With Bjørnstjerne Eriksen retired, the Union team will be guided by a new coach and new philosophy. Gone are the days of the notorious and ultra defensive Layered Wall, and The Dandelions now sport a 4-3-3 formation with a relatively high defensive line combined with high pressing by the forwards (known as Stoic Press). It’s not all-out attack, but it sure is different from what we’ve seen before. Will The Dandelions master it? Maybe.

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

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

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

SQUAD
[Starters are in bold]

GOALKEEPERS

GK-Lance Logan ( 1830 Cathair) - Age 23
Lance Logan needs no introduction. Undoubtedly the star player of the team and the only Brook to have been nominated for the Testiculos till now, Logan keeps improving with every season in 1830 Cathair. Logan is renowned for his quick reflexes and calmness at the goal, which has made him quite the sensation in Brookstation by now.

GK-Joel Latibeaudiere ( Capital FC) - Age 31
Once the starting choice for the national team, Latibeaudiere has lost himself in the shadow of Logan, but still possesses the skills and potential which are good enough to make him the second choice goalkeeper of the team.

GK-Terrell Graves ( Space Coast Rockets) - Age 26
Called up for primarily for his performances in the Brook Football League, Graves will remain mostly as a third choice option for the team. Graves is still a young player and with quite some time still in hand, Graves might help himself up the ranks.

DEFENDERS

CB-Nate Harlow ( Dreamland City) - Age 33
Harlow has always been the guiding light when it comes to the Brook defensive. Undoubtedly one of the best defenders to have ever played for the team and a natural leader, Harlow plays a very crucial role in the club, combining his quick dribbling skills with his strength, making him one of the most influential players in Brookstation.

LB-Geovani Angeles ( Alnio) - Age 24
A young defender who recently made a transfer to Chromatikan side Alnio, making him the most expensive Brook transfer of all time. He has been a very important part of his club Alnio's defense and has a bright future ahead of him. He is looking forward to defend for his national side to the best of his abilities.

CB-Rod Dick Jacobus ( Haligonian) - Age 20
Jacobus is not your typical, stout defender. Rather, he is a concentrated player with a very clear understanding of the game. His intelligence, composure and the ability to read his opponent's next move makes him so celebrated in the country despite his young age.

RB-Travor Scott ( Halebid Warriors) - Age 35
One of Harlow's best associated and partner in crime, Scott used to be termed as one of Brookstation's best defenders, that was until he was faced with charges of sexual assault which saw him receive a two year ban. But now that he has faced the consequences of his action, he is back, as a changed figure, a figure who is ready to deliver for the national side once again.

CB-Mark Jamieson ( Space Coast Rockets) - Age 25
Mark was a talented and young prodigy who has been one of the key players of the Brook junior teams. Mark has received a recent callup from the national team following his performance in the TPL and the recently formed BFL. With his callup to the national side, he is expected to live up to his expectations.

LB-Jayden Alonso ( Syneca) - Age 27
Alonso is a complete, dominant and eloquent central defender with physical power and immense strengh suited perfectly to put him in the defensive position. He might not be the fastest player one is looking for but his coordination and agility combined with his fit stature suit

CB-Lawrence Butler ( Dodle) - Age 25
Honestly speaking, Butler has always been an aggressive player, not shying away from the dirty work on the field. Surely, this has put him in trouble in the past but he doesn't seem to care.

RB- Rasihawn Donaldson ( AC Dason) - Age 31
Hailing from a poor background, Donaldson had pretty much the knowledge of the harsh realities of the world at length. Football made him see the dreams of breaking free from his poor condition. His journey continued and now he sees himself in the national team, He is a very determined player on the field. His clearances are what he is majorly known for in Brookstation. He has regained his national team status after leading Dason to the champions spot.

MIDFIELDERS

CAM--Tavian Tudorache ( Vantanoch FC) - Age 26
Experienced, aggressive and arogant midfielder, played over 50 games with Other side of Paradise. With his recent call up to the Tikariot side Vantanoch FC, he has delivered whenever he received play time.

CM-Laron Veum ( Lublova Reds) - Age 32
Laron Veum is a promising young midfielder who plays for Squornshelan side Lublova Reds. He has spent most of his prime career in Squornshelan Remnant States. Veum tends to come deeper and get open inside the hole between the opposition lines. which has helped his team to get goals.

CAM-Rosario Riccobono ( Advance Alara) - Age 20
Having just passed his teenage years, Riccobono has gained quite a lot of fame in the domestic level although he awaits his national team debut, which will most likely come during next year's World Cup. Riccobono is a swift dribbler, renowned mostly for his speed and creativity while crafting attacks on the field. Most likely to become Brookstation’s next sensation.

CM-Jean Pierre Polnareff ( Other side of Paradise) - Age 32
Instrumental in both of Brookstation’s historic wins against Nephara and Banija, the 6'2 midfielder has established himself as one of the most prominent midfielders in Brookstation. Shortly behind captain Robes, Polnareff holds the second most international caps for Brookstation. An all rounder in the midfield, he is Brookstation’s main free kick taker.

LM/RM-Louis Vassel ( Aspel) - Age 29
An orthodox, impressively fast midfielder who always has his eye on the goal and will do anything to find the right chance to shot. He maybe termed a bit greedy but as long as he stays in sync with his teammates, he will assist.

CM- Steve Dolphin ( AFC Richmond) - Age 31
Dolphin is an elegant player with a very impressive technique with the ball, short dribbling and a well controlled tempo on the field. All these qualities makes him quite a versatile midfielder.

FORWARDS

CF-Leon Michael Robes (c) ( Cednia Beach AFC) - Age 33
If you are a Brook, you don't ask who Leon Michael Robes is. In short, he is the top goalscorer, most capped and most importantly the captain on the current Brook side. Often termed the best Brook footballer ever, Robes needs no more introduction. An extremely versatile and talented striker, Robes always has his senses ready for the task. Some suggest that Robes' age is beginning to reveal itself but Robes still remains the head of all operations on the field.

LW-John J Johnson ( Space Coast Rockets) - Age 30
Currently the best player in Brookstation, John Johnson is on his way to overtake Robes as Brookstation’s top scorer. Johnson is a lethal finisher as well as an excellent assister. With his eyes always at the goal, Johnson is always on his toes to grab opportunities to strike.

RW-Moussa Wague ( Clyde Park) - Age 24
Undoubtedly, one of the best strikers of Brookstation at the moment. Wague has been the top scorer of his club for this season despite of his young age. Following the farewell of Cust from the team, Wague has become one of the starters for the team. Wague posseses the ability to plan out attacks and with the help of his speed,strength and dribbling skills makes his way towards the goal. Wague has been overshadowed by the likes of Robes and Johnson but whenever he gets a chance to make it to the goal, he is ready to prove his mettle. Wague is a fierce, hard working striker who is always on the look for chances and thus is a great addition to the front line of the national team.

LW-Jimmy Robinson ( Sanar) - Age 25
Robinson is yet another player, who has been instrumental in his club's performance. Denver might not be the best club out there but despite of playing for a struggling team, Robinson managed to display his skills on the field, ending up as one of the top scorers of the season. Robinson is one of the best emerging players in Brookstation and following his recent move to Chromatik side Sanar, expectations are high from the youngster.

SS/RW-Roy-Allan Butterfield ( Anchors FC) - Age 22
Butterfield is a tall player with a fit stature who plays mostly as a shadow striker. He is an offensive all rounder who can adapt to a variety of positions up front such as winger, attacking midfielder, support striker, and centre forward. A young talent, Butterfield has become one of the top scorers of the domestic league.

CF-Ga Yong Lee ( Halebid United) - Age 32
Lee is an advanced playmaker, able to play in both the wings as well as any playmaking position. Lee is a creative player with a pretty stabilised technique with the ball, great acceleration skills and a good passing ability.
