World Cup 98 | roster thread

Welcome to the longest-running sporting event in the multiverse. This is the 98th NationStates World Cup!

This is the roster thread for the tournament (both qualifying and finals), where participants are invited to provide details about their teams. It is highly encouraged to provide a roster; teams without one will have their entire rank (after the addition of any other RP bonuses) divided by 1.093x where x = (n+1)2 and n is the number of scorination windows, including this one, so far in the entire WC. This equates to approximately a 30% penalty in the first window, a 55% penalty in the second, a 75% penalty in the third, and an 89% penalty in the fourth (continuing towards, though never quite reaching, zero).

Starting lineups are formed of 11 players, one of whom is a goalkeeper. Conventional roster size is 23-26 of whom three are goalkeepers, but it is common for teams to select from a larger pool of players for qualification, especially if injuries have been roleplayed. (More on which below.)

Other content that you may wish to add to your roster include:
  • Your team nickname
  • Your team manager and other coaching staff
  • Where your team will play its home matches (in this tournament, half of your matches in qualifying will be at home. This can be in one field or in many places around your country!)
  • Your RP permissions and style modifier
  • A team logo
  • A team kit
  • Details about your nation for visiting fans and players
  • Other information you would like your opponent to know about

Examples of rosters include those posted for the last edition of the World Cup. As you can see, rosters come in all shapes and sizes - from a list of names to full player bios. Be as in depth as you like, but the most important thing is readability!

As a part of your roster post, you can include a style modifier. This is a number, which for the purposes of this tournament can be between -5 and +5, which describes how defensive or offensive your team's style of play is. -5 describes a maximally defensive team, and +5 describes a maximally attacking team. Note that this does not affect your chances of winning or losing, or even the margin of victory if any - merely how many goals you score and concede. There is no "style meta" here.

Finally, in your roster post, it is highly recommended you include your RP permissions. These detail what you can and can't do regarding players on other teams. The permission box, an example included below, shows a format with which to display these permissions, and it is important to read the permissions of other players before including them in your own roleplays -- those roleplays may be ignored if permissions are broken! Furthermore, the permissions box also discusses 'godmodding', which is to control another person's roleplaying beyond the usual RP permissions. Examples of godmodding include unlikely events, such as a goal being scored by bouncing off of a passing seagull, or a player being injured by plane debris falling from the sky. If in doubt, check those permissions!

Here is an example of a roleplay permission box (with no permissions yet set):

Code: Select all
[box][b]My opponent, if they RP first, may do the following:[/b]
I would prefer you choose these scorers:
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
Generate stadium happenings: Yes/No[/box]


Good luck, have fun, and may Margaret be with you!

THE UNITED REPUBLICS OF YUEZHOU
WORLD CUP 98 ROSTER

月州联合共和国 - 国际足球队

It's a new era for the Dragons, as Elaine Ashdown leaves after nine years in charge of the national team. While Ashdown brought the Dragons to unprecedented heights, achieving third place in the Copa Rushmori and Yuezhou's first-ever quarterfinals berth in the World Cup, the YFA felt Yuezhou were stagnating under her watch and opted to move on. Up next is legendary Mytanar manager Lev Repin, last seen bringing Chromatika within ninety minutes of the World Cup. He'll have a tough task in front of him - building a winning team without talismanic midfielder Pan Xilei, who has retired, and with star striker Leona Tsang still being eased back in after missing the Copa Rushmori to injury. But it would still be unwise to count out Rushmore's #1 team, even in a transitional phase.

thanks to Mytanija for providing this information.

3-4-1-2 – IN POSSESSION
In possession the 3-5-2 becomes almost a 3-2-5 with the wing-backs pushing high up the pitch to operate in what would almost be traditional winger positions. They are tasked with staying wide to provide the midfielders with options out on the flank, this should also keep the opposition players stretched across the pitch in their defensive shape which would open up spaces in more central areas. The two strikers will rotate in dropping in between the opposition defence and midfield whilst the left-sided central midfielder will look to push into spaces that are vacated by opposition defenders. This is done in this way because the striker who drops deep may drag an opposition defender into a midfield area and leave space for the left-sided central midfielder to run into. The central midfielders will be tasked with recycling possession and trying to pick passes from the middle of the pitch, they will also make late runs into the penalty area to try and pick up any loose balls around the edge of the box. The three central defenders will push high up to the halfway line to squeeze the pitch and keep opposition forwards far away from the goal in case of a loss of possession. Defenders that are comfortable in possession will be allowed freedom to dribble forward if the opposition stand-off them as this could make it easier to progress the ball and could commit opposition defenders which would create space for other players.

3-5-2 – OUT OF POSSESSION
If the ball is lost, both wing-backs will work hard to immediately get back into defensive positions, almost forming a back five with the three central defenders. Both strikers will work hard to press opposition players, willing to give away fouls to prevent the opposition from counter-attacking at speed. Whoever plays as the left-sided central midfielder midfielder may join in with this pressing but against strong opposition they may also drop deep to form a midfield three with the other pair of central midfielders to try and stiffen up the centre of the pitch. Towards the halfway line both the central midfielders will press and try to push the opponent into wider areas with the aim being to either trap them on the sideline or to encourage an aimless pass from the wide position into the middle of the pitch where there are more players. If the opposition manage to counter quickly then the wide central defenders will look to engage any players breaking down the sides of the pitch whilst the man in the middle of the three will shift across to cover them. The central midfielders will also tend to drop very quickly leaving only the attacking midfielder and strikers higher up the pitch.


COACHING STAFF


Manager: Lev REPIN, 68 (MYT)
The YFA moves from one legend of the game to another: Repin, after 177 caps with Mytanija as a fullback during his playing career, has become one of the multiverse's best-known managers. After returning his home country to the World Cup, he then moved to Chromatika, where he took the Anomalies to the World Cup Final. Both incredibly passionate and tactically innovative, Repin will hope to bring a third national team to success as he takes over the Dragons on a two-cycle contract.

Assistant Manager: CHEN Haixuan, 53
The up-and-coming Chen Haixuan earned the job after managing Beian Rovers from lower midtable to the heady heights of...also lower midtable. He's at least a likeable guy who should help communicate Repin's vision and keep things friendly in the dressing room, and will serve as a valuable bridge between the Ashdown and Repin administrations.

Assistant Manager: YUAN Mingrong, 39
A legendary center-back for Ararat and the Yue national team, Yuan now makes his coaching debut with the national team he captained for several cycles. He'll be expected to focus on the defense and the locker-room, although unnamed sources have suggested he's also being groomed to be the next Dragons manager.

Goalkeeping Coach: Ursula GAVARIS, 46 (NPH)
Yue National Team Goalkeeping Coaches have been very in-demand lately, with Lu Qiang headed to the Red League and Ming Xilang off to Quebec. The Dragons will hope that the Zenith veteran who last kept goal for Alliance Barossia won't follow in their footsteps too quickly.

GOALKEEPERS

#01 - GK - ZHAO Deliang (赵德亮) - 34 - Atletik Thessia (MYT)
A former 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.


substitutes are listed in descending order of likelihood of starting.
#12 - GK - Elaine XU (f) - 29 - Newark Argyle (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. She was expected to present a long-term challenge to Zhao Deliang's starting spot, but Zhao's ascension into a higher level, combined with the emergence of a number of other young goalkeepers, threw her future with the national team into question despite steady success at the club level. Continued strong play in Tumbra has, for now, kept her as the steady #2 to Zhao.

#79 - GK - Timofei TRISCHUK-HUANG - 26 - Z'ai'ai (CMT)
The son of former South Newlandian NT captain Mikhail Trischuk, Trischuk-Huang is a lanky, athletic shot-stopper with flashes of passing talent. Calling him up early ensured the Newlandians wouldn't get him for the Campionato, but he's now a solid starter abroad and a genuine threat to take one of the spots on the World Cup Proper roster.

CENTER-BACKS


#05 - CB - Esekíel Zeminsson YAO (姚真君) - 27 - Ararat Severyan (MYT)
While he's not quite a BFG, Esekíel Yao is still quite physically imposing, and compensates for average speed with strong defensive instincts, good short-range passing, and the ability to perform under pressure. Does have a prospenity to foul in dangerous areas and overrate his own passing instincts, but one can hope that'll go away in time. Idolized Yuan Mingrong growing up, and was given Yuan's #5 after playing by his side for two seasons at Ararat.

#36 - CB - ZHAO Fan (f) (赵範) - 27 - West Couno United (TMB)
Excellent on-ball skills for a defender, with her passing especially solid, but can be overly rash to tackle. Still, despite her aggression, she's rapidly grown into a key piece for the surprise Tumbran champions, and she's quickly grown into an integral part of the Yue defense.

#27 - CB - JI Wenwei (纪文薇) - 25 - Myana (CMT)
A young but surprisingly polished center-back who anchored Royals' title-winning defense before heading abroad, Ji has well-honed defensive instincts and positioning. There are concerns that he's a high-floor, low-ceiling prospect who lacks the athleticism needed to become a world-class defender, but he's managed to overcome his relative slow-footedness with smart tackling and elite situational awareness.


substitutes are listed in descending order of likelihood of starting.
#15 - CB/RCB - DENG Daiyu (f) - 33 - 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. Now, she's matured into an excellent defender and a veteran mentor of the line - the type of defender that will never make the headlines if things go smoothly.

#44 - RCB/RB - Jason Yuanjunsson REN - 25 - CF Outineau (KSK)
A sturdy, hard-working right-back known for his tactical fouls. Theoretically has the ball skills and tools to be useful on the attack, but hasn't quite put them together. Has taken the number 44, the first Yueren to ever do so on the national team, after his initial request to take #4 was flatly denied by the YFA.

#30 - CB - Paris HUANG (f) - 23 - Century Mertagne (MRT)
A smooth operator across any defensive position, the Mertagnian dual-national finally makes her Dragons debut after an extended pressure campaign from the YFA. Huang's greatest asset is her versatility, both in position and in playstyle, making her the ideal defensive super-sub.

FULLBACKS

#14 - LB/LWB - HUANG Han (黃翰) - 31 - Istria City FC (BNJ)
An energetic, pacy wingback who thrived as a crosser in Olympic Nangang's three-at-the-back system, before excelling both as a winger and as a fullback in the proving grounds of Kelssek, where he earned consideration for Young Player of the Year with Torbay Thunder. Now in the S-FPL and reinstated as a starter, the only remaining questions around his game are whether or not he actually wants to be a defender.

#13 - RB/RWB - Songwei MILOSEVIC (米松伟) - 26 - Felsenkirchen 1879 (STL)
Born to Mytanar steelworker parents in Beian, Milosevic is industrious off the field but made waves with a high-flying, attack-minded take on the rightback position. While still raw, his incredible endurance and strong ball skills could make him a great modern fullback. Since taking over from the retiring Dong Xiaowang, he's entrenched himself as a premier starting right-back who made a big-money move to the Republikaliga in the window.



substitutes are listed in descending order of likelihood of starting.
#02 - LB - Gía Ansdottír LIN (f) - 25 - Tekstil (MYT)
A very athletic, talented young fullback, but one with much stronger defensive than attacking instincts. Her leadership and sense of positioning could make her future club captain material, but she'll need to cut down on fouls and develop a crossing game to reach her full potential. Has been through a lot in her young career, from double-relegation as a teenager in Ko-oren to blatant sexism in the Kytler Peninsulae, but enjoyed a breakout campaign last season in Mytanija.

#38 - RB/RW - LI Xiangyu - 29 - Nangang Royals
A pacy fullback whose penchant for pushing forwards with the ball helped add a new dimension to Royals' title-winning attack. Somewhat weaker defensively, but will present a nice change of pace from the more methodical Yuanjunsson Ren.

#19 - CAM/CM/RB - Maximillian WEN - 25 - Miruan City FC (TKT)
A swiss-army-knife of a player that has quickly endeared himself to his team's fans and Elaine Ashdown alike. Wen's biggest strengths are his versatility and tenacity. But he's far from a high-motor, low-skill player, having shown advanced playmaking talents for his age in Tikariot.

HOLDING MIDFIELDERS

#29 - CDM/CM - ZHAXI Jianzan (f) (扎喜坚赞) - 30 - Serrapince (TMB)
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 - DONG Yichun (f) (董依纯) - 25 - Kirkenes (KSK)
A metronomic presence in midfield despite her young age, with some flashes of creativity. Has quietly become one of the best Yue midfielders in the world after a surprisingly good season with Kirkenes, with an inability to be pressed that the Dragons sorely need from their midfield options. Now makes her breakthrough to the starting lineup under Repin.


substitutes are listed in descending order of likelihood of starting.
#28 - CM - GUAN Teying - 26 - Millsburgh Revolutionaries (TMB)
A smooth, metronomic presence in the center of the pitch, Guan's next developmental step will be to hone his defensive instincts - something he's already made great strides at in Nephara before heading to Millsburgh.

#80 - CM - Brynjólfur Zhenyasson ZHANG - 27 - Crossroads (CMT)
Born and raised in Græntfjall, but the son of Yuezhou NT midfielder Zhang Zhenya, it was anyone's guess who Zhang was going to declare for. Just like Kara Mingsdottír Zhang (no relation), though, he opted for the side with a paucity of talented young midfielders. After returning to Yuezhou at his father's urging and surprising everyone by becoming the linchpin of Royals' attack at a young age, he headed to the Red League to further prove himself. A dynamic 8/10 hybrid who moves quickly with and without the ball, and who offers relentless energy on the defensive end. Dropped out of the NT midway through World Cup 96 due to the stress of the situation in Græntfjall, but seems to be back to full strength.

#25 - CDM/CB - Rutger ZHOU - 25 - Shearwater (KSK)
The dual national was a bit of a left-field pick from Ashdown: a center-back in the Nepharan second tier who'd be playing out of position for a country whose language he barely speaks. But he showed grit, athleticism, and enough on-ball ability to look like a midfielder if you squint in the World Cup, so Repin's actually kept him around as a tactical curveball, and he's earned himself a nice move abroad in the process.

ATTACKING MIDFIELDERS

#08 - CM/CAM - Kara Mingsdottír ZHANG (f) (张白兰) - 30 - 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. Has seriously come into her own at Liria, becoming one of the world's premier midfielders.


substitutes are listed in descending order of likelihood of starting.
#10 - CAM/SS - YAO Liwei - 25 - TK Korp Mynda (BNJ)
An excellent runner on counterattacks and a dynamic and willing passer, somewhat in the Tao Beiliang mold. Similarly to Tao, doesn't do much on defense, and was moved progressively upfield by his coaches after starting his career as a #8.

#31 - RW/CAM - Liljan Álfarsdottír ZHOU (f) - 24 - Kirkenes (KSK)
Not especially fast, but agile and skilled: Zhou can be a bit predictable at times, loving to cut inside, but has all the ability you'd want in a modern winger. Her surprisingly good playmaking has earned her a second look as a rotational #10 in Repin's system, in addition to a potential starter if the Mytanar opts to change formation.

STRIKERS

#09 - ST - JIA Luka Siski - 24 - Algolia (SRS)
Since arriving in Beian, the Lit™ striker has taken the Yue league by storm, scoring fifty-nine goals in seventy-three matches in the past two seasons. While most comfortable pouncing on loose balls or latching onto through-balls near the goal, Jia has both the skill and athleticism needed to round out his game. The next few years will be critical for the young striker's development - he's already secured a move abroad to Algolia, but will his national team career find the same trajectory?

#21 - ST - Leona TSANG (f) (曾巧珠) - 25 - Lhor (CMT)
GS+'s best young player in the world is now a Dragon, accepting Elaine Ashdown's callup in controversial fashion two caps short of being tied to the Cormorants. Her speed, dynamic off-ball runs, and ability to score from anywhere make her difficult to pin down, especially with Kara Mingsdottír Zhang feeding her a steady diet of through-balls for the foreseeable future - as long as she can stay on the field.



substitutes are listed in descending order of likelihood of starting.
#11 - ST/RW - ZHENG Hong (f) - 29 - West Couno United (TMB)
A hardworking and athletic attacker, Zheng still lacks a bit of finesse and can look quite awkward at times. Still, she always seems to get the ball where she wants it to be, and she's actually quite the composed finisher if you look at the xG.

#33 - ST - Sienna LI (f) - 27 - 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.

Qualifying Roster:
THE UNITED REPUBLICS OF YUEZHOU
WORLD CUP 98 QUALIFYING ROSTER

月州联合共和国 - 国际足球队

It's a new era for the Dragons, as Elaine Ashdown leaves after nine years in charge of the national team. While Ashdown brought the Dragons to unprecedented heights, achieving third place in the Copa Rushmori and Yuezhou's first-ever quarterfinals berth in the World Cup, the YFA felt Yuezhou were stagnating under her watch and opted to move on. Up next is legendary Mytanar manager Lev Repin, last seen bringing Chromatika within ninety minutes of the World Cup. He'll have a tough task in front of him - building a winning team without talismanic midfielder Pan Xilei, who has retired, and with star striker Leona Tsang still being eased back in after missing the Copa Rushmori to injury. But it would still be unwise to count out Rushmore's #1 team, even in a transitional phase.

The central midfielders will also tend to drop very quickly leaving only the attacking midfielder and strikers higher up the pitch.


COACHING STAFF


Manager: Lev REPIN, 68 (MYT)
The YFA moves from one legend of the game to another: Repin, after 177 caps with Mytanija as a fullback during his playing career, has become one of the multiverse's best-known managers. After returning his home country to the World Cup, he then moved to Chromatika, where he took the Anomalies to the World Cup Final. Both incredibly passionate and tactically innovative, Repin will hope to bring a third national team to success as he takes over the Dragons on a two-cycle contract.

Assistant Manager: CHEN Haixuan, 53
The up-and-coming Chen Haixuan earned the job after managing Beian Rovers from lower midtable to the heady heights of...also lower midtable. He's at least a likeable guy who should help communicate Repin's vision and keep things friendly in the dressing room, and will serve as a valuable bridge between the Ashdown and Repin administrations.

Assistant Manager: YUAN Mingrong, 39
A legendary center-back for Ararat and the Yue national team, Yuan now makes his coaching debut with the national team he captained for several cycles. He'll be expected to focus on the defense and the locker-room, although unnamed sources have suggested he's also being groomed to be the next Dragons manager.

Goalkeeping Coach: Ursula GAVARIS, 46 (NPH)
Yue National Team Goalkeeping Coaches have been very in-demand lately, with Lu Qiang headed to the Red League and Ming Xilang off to Quebec. The Dragons will hope that the Zenith veteran who last kept goal for Alliance Barossia won't follow in their footsteps too quickly.

GOALKEEPERS

#01 - GK - ZHAO Deliang (赵德亮) - 34 - Atletik Thessia (MYT)
A former 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) - 29 - Newark Argyle (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. She was expected to present a long-term challenge to Zhao Deliang's starting spot, but Zhao's ascension into a higher level, combined with the emergence of a number of other young goalkeepers, threw her future with the national team into question despite steady success at the club level. Continued strong play in Tumbra has, for now, kept her as the steady #2 to Zhao.

#79 - GK - Timofei TRISCHUK-HUANG - 26 - Z'ai'ai (CMT)
The son of former South Newlandian NT captain Mikhail Trischuk, Trischuk-Huang is a lanky, athletic shot-stopper with flashes of passing talent. Calling him up early ensured the Newlandians wouldn't get him for the Campionato, but he's now a solid starter abroad and a genuine threat to take one of the spots on the World Cup Proper roster.

#23 - GK - Jasmine HSU (f) - 28 - Newrook City (NPH)
A confident young goalkeeper whose strong presence in the box allows her to play bigger than her relatively short stature for a keeper. Despite her relatively young age, she's both comfortable distributing and a vocal defensive leader, and has been quietly solid in the First Division. Snapped up by the YFA before she could break out in Nephara, and is still fighting with Xu and Trischuk-Huang to be the next starting keeper after Zhao despite a recent downturn in form.

CENTER-BACKS


#05 - CB - Esekíel Zeminsson YAO (姚真君) - 27 - Ararat Severyan (MYT)
While he's not quite a BFG, Esekíel Yao is still quite physically imposing, and compensates for average speed with strong defensive instincts, good short-range passing, and the ability to perform under pressure. Does have a prospenity to foul in dangerous areas and overrate his own passing instincts, but one can hope that'll go away in time. Idolized Yuan Mingrong growing up, and was given Yuan's #5 after playing by his side for two seasons at Ararat.

#36 - CB - ZHAO Fan (f) (赵範) - 27 - West Couno United (TMB)
Excellent on-ball skills for a defender, with her passing especially solid, but can be overly rash to tackle. Still, despite her aggression, she's rapidly grown into a key piece for the surprise Tumbran champions, and she's quickly grown into an integral part of the Yue defense.

#27 - CB - JI Wenwei (纪文薇) - 25 - Myana (CMT)
A young but surprisingly polished center-back who anchored Royals' title-winning defense before heading abroad, Ji has well-honed defensive instincts and positioning. There are concerns that he's a high-floor, low-ceiling prospect who lacks the athleticism needed to become a world-class defender, but he's managed to overcome his relative slow-footedness with smart tackling and elite situational awareness.


substitutes are listed in descending order of likelihood of starting.
#15 - CB/RCB - DENG Daiyu (f) - 33 - 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. Now, she's matured into an excellent defender and a veteran mentor of the line - the type of defender that will never make the headlines if things go smoothly.

#44 - RCB/RB - Jason Yuanjunsson REN - 25 - CF Outineau (KSK)
A sturdy, hard-working right-back known for his tactical fouls. Theoretically has the ball skills and tools to be useful on the attack, but hasn't quite put them together. Has taken the number 44, the first Yueren to ever do so on the national team, after his initial request to take #4 was flatly denied by the YFA.

#26 - CB - Aldar Yuansson GUO - 24 - Bay City United (KYP)
Half-Yue but still quite the BFG, with a strong intuitive ability to get in the right place at the right time. Leveraged a strong season with Korsbach to join half-countryman Chen Huikang in the Peninsulae.

#30 - CB - Paris HUANG (f) - 23 - Century Mertagne (MRT)
A smooth operator across any defensive position, the Mertagnian dual-national finally makes her Dragons debut after an extended pressure campaign from the YFA. Huang's greatest asset is her versatility, both in position and in playstyle, making her the ideal defensive super-sub.

#35 - CB - WAN Jiayi - 22 - Beian Bats
A dynamic center-back who likes to drive forwards with and without the ball. His style of play is quite risky, especially against stronger opposition, but he has feasted on slightly-errant balls from the admittedly weak YS!L midfields, and brings a unique energy to Repin's rotational choices.

FULLBACKS

#14 - LB/LWB - HUANG Han (黃翰) - 31 - Istria City FC (BNJ)
An energetic, pacy wingback who thrived as a crosser in Olympic Nangang's three-at-the-back system, before excelling both as a winger and as a fullback in the proving grounds of Kelssek, where he earned consideration for Young Player of the Year with Torbay Thunder. Now in the S-FPL and reinstated as a starter, the only remaining questions around his game are whether or not he actually wants to be a defender.

#13 - RB/RWB - Songwei MILOSEVIC (米松伟) - 26 - Felsenkirchen 1879 (STL)
Born to Mytanar steelworker parents in Beian, Milosevic is industrious off the field but made waves with a high-flying, attack-minded take on the rightback position. While still raw, his incredible endurance and strong ball skills could make him a great modern fullback. Since taking over from the retiring Dong Xiaowang, he's entrenched himself as a premier starting right-back who made a big-money move to the Republikaliga in the window.



substitutes are listed in descending order of likelihood of starting.
#02 - LB - Gía Ansdottír LIN (f) - 25 - Tekstil (MYT)
A very athletic, talented young fullback, but one with much stronger defensive than attacking instincts. Her leadership and sense of positioning could make her future club captain material, but she'll need to cut down on fouls and develop a crossing game to reach her full potential. Has been through a lot in her young career, from double-relegation as a teenager in Ko-oren to blatant sexism in the Kytler Peninsulae, but enjoyed a breakout campaign last season in Mytanija.

#38 - RB/RW - LI Xiangyu - 29 - Nangang Royals
A pacy fullback whose penchant for pushing forwards with the ball helped add a new dimension to Royals' title-winning attack. Somewhat weaker defensively, but will present a nice change of pace from the more methodical Yuanjunsson Ren.

#19 - CAM/CM/RB - Maximillian WEN - 25 - Miruan City FC (TKT)
A swiss-army-knife of a player that has quickly endeared himself to his team's fans and Elaine Ashdown alike. Wen's biggest strengths are his versatility and tenacity. But he's far from a high-motor, low-skill player, having shown advanced playmaking talents for his age in Tikariot.

#24 - LB/LCB - Tyson BAO - 23 - Crimsonhawke FC (TKT)
A strong, athletic defender who is hard to catch out of position.

HOLDING MIDFIELDERS

#29 - CDM/CM - ZHAXI Jianzan (f) (扎喜坚赞) - 30 - Serrapince (TMB)
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 - DONG Yichun (f) (董依纯) - 25 - Kirkenes (KSK)
A metronomic presence in midfield despite her young age, with some flashes of creativity. Has quietly become one of the best Yue midfielders in the world after a surprisingly good season with Kirkenes, with an inability to be pressed that the Dragons sorely need from their midfield options. Now makes her breakthrough to the starting lineup under Repin.


substitutes are listed in descending order of likelihood of starting.
#28 - CM - GUAN Teying - 26 - Millsburgh Revolutionaries (TMB)
A smooth, metronomic presence in the center of the pitch, Guan's next developmental step will be to hone his defensive instincts - something he's already made great strides at in Nephara before heading to Millsburgh.

#80 - CM - Brynjólfur Zhenyasson ZHANG - 27 - Crossroads (CMT)
Born and raised in Græntfjall, but the son of Yuezhou NT midfielder Zhang Zhenya, it was anyone's guess who Zhang was going to declare for. Just like Kara Mingsdottír Zhang (no relation), though, he opted for the side with a paucity of talented young midfielders. After returning to Yuezhou at his father's urging and surprising everyone by becoming the linchpin of Royals' attack at a young age, he headed to the Red League to further prove himself. A dynamic 8/10 hybrid who moves quickly with and without the ball, and who offers relentless energy on the defensive end. Dropped out of the NT midway through World Cup 96 due to the stress of the situation in Græntfjall, but seems to be back to full strength.

#25 - CDM/CB - Rutger ZHOU - 25 - Shearwater (KSK)
The dual national was a bit of a left-field pick from Ashdown: a center-back in the Nepharan second tier who'd be playing out of position for a country whose language he barely speaks. But he showed grit, athleticism, and enough on-ball ability to look like a midfielder if you squint in the World Cup, so Repin's actually kept him around as a tactical curveball, and he's earned himself a nice move abroad in the process.

#37 - CM - ZHENG Haidong - 35 - Nangang Royals
A hard-working collector of loose balls and deep-lying playmaker. After a moderately successful stint abroad as a rotational player for Nantwich, he went home to Nangang, where he reinvented himself as a midfield metronome and captain of a YS!L dynasty.

ATTACKING MIDFIELDERS

#08 - CM/CAM - Kara Mingsdottír ZHANG (f) (张白兰) - 30 - 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. Has seriously come into her own at Liria, becoming one of the world's premier midfielders.


substitutes are listed in descending order of likelihood of starting.
#10 - CAM/SS - YAO Liwei - 25 - TK Korp Mynda (BNJ)
An excellent runner on counterattacks and a dynamic and willing passer, somewhat in the Tao Beiliang mold. Similarly to Tao, doesn't do much on defense, and was moved progressively upfield by his coaches after starting his career as a #8.

#31 - RW/CAM - Liljan Álfarsdottír ZHOU (f) - 24 - Kirkenes (KSK)
Not especially fast, but agile and skilled: Zhou can be a bit predictable at times, loving to cut inside, but has all the ability you'd want in a modern winger. Her surprisingly good playmaking has earned her a second look as a rotational #10 in Repin's system, in addition to a potential starter if the Mytanar opts to change formation.

STRIKERS

#09 - ST - JIA Luka Siski - 24 - Algolia (SRS)
Since arriving in Beian, the Lit™ striker has taken the Yue league by storm, scoring fifty-nine goals in seventy-three matches in the past two seasons. While most comfortable pouncing on loose balls or latching onto through-balls near the goal, Jia has both the skill and athleticism needed to round out his game. The next few years will be critical for the young striker's development - he's already secured a move abroad to Algolia, but will his national team career find the same trajectory?

#21 - ST - Leona TSANG (f) (曾巧珠) - 25 - Lhor (CMT)
GS+'s best young player in the world is now a Dragon, accepting Elaine Ashdown's callup in controversial fashion two caps short of being tied to the Cormorants. Her speed, dynamic off-ball runs, and ability to score from anywhere make her difficult to pin down, especially with Kara Mingsdottír Zhang feeding her a steady diet of through-balls for the foreseeable future - as long as she can stay on the field.



substitutes are listed in descending order of likelihood of starting.
#11 - ST/RW - ZHENG Hong (f) - 29 - West Couno United (TMB)
A hardworking and athletic attacker, Zheng still lacks a bit of finesse and can look quite awkward at times. Still, she always seems to get the ball where she wants it to be, and she's actually quite the composed finisher if you look at the xG.

#31 - SS/LW - ZHU Tianming - 29 - Beian Bats
A versatile attacker most at home in a false-nine role, Zhu's physicality lets him hold up the ball before using his surprisingly good passing chops to distribute to teammates. He's not blazing fast, but he's quick and shifty enough to also play an inside-forward role on the wings, popping up when you least expect it to latch onto a cross or head home from close range.

#33 - ST - Sienna LI (f) - 27 - 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.

Vaishnavaria National Football Team “The Tigers”
Image

Football In Vaishnavaria was popular since the Liberator war but it skyrocketed in popularity when a young 23 year old striker on the 1985 National team named Nahal Nahari led Vaishnavaria to dominance in many cups and led to them being the best football team in concord. Vaishnavaria after failing to make it out of the qualifiers last time is ready to rumble. Now the team is better than they have ever been with star captain Alecsander Komich and legendary winger Zakaraya Kar as well as rock solid defender Kapil Nartar and a stellar defender core. So now we are here to release our team after YEARS of searching and evaluation.

Image




Strikers: Nahari Jain and Nathaniel Grant
Nahari Jain is known for his incredibly agility,precise finishing and ability to go Aerial and make headers easily due to his 6'2 strong stature and his big vertical. He is also a great dribbler, great at controlling the ball and not doing anything fancy. He has an incredible first touch setting himself up for big plays. He can play any position and with any tactics. Nathaniel Grant is a great source of goals setting himself up in the right position to score goals. He is also an incredible passer and plays incredibly well under pressure. He shakes off defenders easily and has strong power as well as an accurate leg. He is often found near the last defender and can receive and control any pass. The only problem is that his dribbling needs some work as well as his headers.




Wingers: Alecsander Komich and Zakaraya Kar

The Wingers are both midfielders and Wingers. Alecsander Komich has the soul and skill of a soccer player. Nobody in the world can match his dribbling skills and moves as well as his incredible speed. He shakes off defenders easily and can shoot from anywhere under any pressure. He slips past defenders easily and can almost 100 percent make close shots and open shots. People compare him with Di Bradini and some even say he is better. On defense he is very aggressive paring well with Nik Rosario,Fred Belfast and Nahari Jain to form an Iron front at the Midfield. He can steal easily and doesn't fall for fakes. he has the cleanest slide tackle in all of Vaishnavaria. Zakaraya Kar is a elite winger picked up from Louisenai FC. He is incredibly fast with great dribbling skills and FREAKY fakes. He can make goals from anywhere and is great at finding passes to advance up field. Problem is under an aggressive defender his skills weaken and he can be too fancy or try to force a pass or a shot.




Center Midfielders: Fred Belfast and Nik Rosario.

You know an Anjan Kloss player made a pretty good quote after being crushed by Vaishnavaria in an LCFL warm up game. "They say Half of earth is water. The Rest is covered by the Vaishnavarian Midfielders". Nik Rosario is an incredible defender and a great passer Although he is not a source of goals. Nik Rosario works with winger Zakaraya Kar and Alecsander Komich to advance up the field quickly. He sets up passes to create big plays and he can find a gap anywhere. He is also a great and aggressive dribbler working his way into open space well. And in the Midfield he makes the opponent fight to get past him. He leads the VSL in interceptions and also leads the LCFL in interceptions. Fred Belfast has the same skill set as Rosario but he is a fast and skilled dribbler too. Belfast although is very foul prone drawing a record number of yellow cards in a single season. Rosario also has the same problem.




Defenders: Kapil Nartar,Ross Newman,Hastan Raystone and Kyle Russo

Kapil Nartar is one of the best defenders in Concord making scoring for opponents in LCFL impossible. In Vaishnavaria’s dominating win over Cerantium in LCFL Kapil Nartar and the defenders stopped every single attack that slipped past the midfield. Vaishnavarian defenders are one of the most feared and dangerous units in the world. Vaishnavarian defenders played well in multiple games in BOF 84 although falling short to 2 seed Restresas in the round of 16. The defenders have made a name for themselves in BOF 84 although injuries have plagued Hassan Raystone and Kyle Russo







Goalkeeper: Giovanni Marcilo

Giovanni Marcilo built a name for himself in the Tya Cup the state soccer tournament of Vaishnavaria. He came on as a sub and stole the job from the Cancardo state goalie and caught the eye of Scouts. He was again a sub to Star Vaishnavarian goalie Samson Muliger but Muliger went down with an injury before BOF 84 giving Marcilo a chance to shine and he did. He stopped countless goals and stopped many attacks even stopping game winning and stopping a couple game tying and game winning shots. It was decided that Marcilo would play for W97 and Muliger would sit as a reserve.



Reserves:

GK Samson Muliger
CF Anz Smith
D Karson Ollistier
D Shari Franco
S Leo Rolando
W Sun Ya Lee

YUUGRIA WARRIORS NATIONAL HOLY FOOTBALL TEAM


Image

Yuugrian football has been popular since foreign colonists entered Yuugria and introduced the sport to the natives. After the 3rd revolution when the Vaishnavarians finally left and the Holy land was finally established (This is how most or our sports are introduced). The Inad took a liking too the sport and funded academies and awareness campaigns and soon it became a popular as cricket. However after the many insurrections and dictatorships football popularity fell into new lows at the start of the 2000s as well as multiple wars with Vaishnavaria. But after entering there first LCFL competition popularity has skyrocketed and today Football is the second most popular sport in Yuugria behind cricket. The Inad and the Minister of sport has personally selected the roster to represent the Holy Empire. The BOF 85 campaign was disappointing for the Warriors as they failed to make it to the semi finals after drawing Dremotia. The Warriors defense is ready for blood and to enter the World Cup for the first time


Image
Preferred Tactic: 5-3-2
Style Modifier: -3.5
Center Fielders/Strikers: Sallersto Bafio and Sammya Shag

Sammya Shag and Sallersto Bafio are like the Assan-Smith rivalry playing for 2 rival clubs who just duked it out in the semi finals with Shag getting the upper hand for Shalls FC and Bafio losing on the side of Jabal av-himaka. Shag has incredible shooting and is a brilliant dribbler but his passing is ok. Bafio is a passing threat and generates so many chances for Shalls by brilliant touch, speedy dribbling and amazing finishing. His Football IQ is off the roofs as he knows exactly when to take his shots


Center Midfielders: Hasna Offani, Arhal Vituri, Molhammen Vi

Hasna Offani plays for Yitub, Vituri for Hannabod and Molhammen Vi for Dar Ibbad Capital FC. Offani and Vituri are the aggressive, full pace strong and powerful midfielders that are brutes making aggressive tackles and always fighting for the ball violently. Offani has a tendency to foul as does Vituri but the technical one is Molhammen Vi as his slides are brilliantly calculated and he can read the defender brilliantly and he has some aggression of his own


Wing Backs: Zakar Usanao, Faf An Hari

These are some of the fastest most electric Wingers that Yuugria has to offer. Faf An Hari is one of the best players in Yuugrian football as his club has one 3 times in the last 4 years just Beating Shalls FC in the final 4 months ago. He is extremely fast,great dribbler,calculated passer, hard defender and a powerful and accurate shooter breaking records all across Yuugria in his years playing for the Holy Football Premier,Va'shannah trophy and the Afandan Invational all major football tournaments in Yuugrian football. Zakar Usanao is a pure pace and pure dribbler who has some struggles shooting but has improved vastly with his club An-Samal FC and this season he was tied for 3rd in goals in the HFP last season


Centre Backs/Defenders: Vikar Kinner, Ishari Pal, Bansa Baffalli

One of the most feared defensive units in Concord these guys can hit injuring so many damn players that its not even fair as these guys can injure technically with calculated but effective tackles designed to hurt the legs without fouling. They get steals hard and fast and read passes and shots like a book and cover the goal immediately when the other team is on a strong attack.

ELLIS FOOTBALL: THE HAPILOPPIAN TEAM
Full Nation Name: The Dominion of Hapilopper
Trigramme: HAP
Nickname: The Haps
Team Colors: Blue, Green and Black

Info:
Ellis Football, the Hapilopper National Football Team, is doing fantastic. The team, named for its heart and soul, the late Nathan Ellis, qualified for World Cup 97 last year, and in spite of getting knocked off by Katzeburg in a hard-fought Round of 16 scrap in the Campionato Esportiva, the team feels like it's going from strength to strength. At the very least, it retains the exact same squad from last year, a team that acting head coach Thom Perkins and his assistant, Ernie Stevenson, view to be the strongest Hapiloppian national squad of all time. This season marks the final one that a Hapiloppian team will call the old Capital Stadium home, as a new 120,000-seat stadium on the grounds of the Hapilopper National Exhibition is being constructed, and could be opened in time for either the next Campionato Esportiva or World Cup 99 qualifying.

COACHING STAFF:
ACTING HEAD COACH: Thom Perkins
Following Ellis's death, HFA head Dom Probst announced that the national team will never again have a "head coach," but rather an "acting head coach." Officially, Nathan Ellis is still the head coach of Team Hapilopper, but leading the squad is Thom Perkins, who helped lead Hapiloppian football to the World Cup proper a few years ago. Perkins was seen as the best selection to lead Hapiloppian football in the future following his positive track record of bringing teams together - first in the Baptism of Fire many years ago, and then to qualifying for World Cups 90 and 91. Perkins will rely on a 4-2-3-1 formation for most of the competition.

ASSISTANT COACH: Ernie Stevenson
ASSISTANT MANAGER: Dennis Billett
GOALKEEPING COACH: Mark Tillett
TRAINER: Bill Rothstein
TECHNICAL DIRECTOR: Lyndon Auditor
PHYSIO: Tab Butler

Stadium:
Nathan Ellis Field at Capital Stadium, Hapilopper City, Hapilopper
Built: 1970 | Seating Capacity: 66,025 | Open-Air | Artificial Turf
Image

(Pictured: Capital Stadium in gridiron configuration)
Capital Stadium, Hapilopper's de facto national stadium, is the last of Hapilopper's classic cookie-cutter venues, used for a variety of applications, including the Hapilopper City Nationals baseball team, the Hapilopper National Baseball Team and is the home of Team Hapilopper. As is custom with cookie-cutter stadiums, the park is completely symmetrical and is surrounded by multiple decks of stands, typically filled with screaming fans when the home team is doing well. Back in the 1970s, the HC Nationals, and their vaunted "National Machine" dominated Hapiloppian baseball, and brought over four million fans through the turnstiles on six occasions. Hapiloppian fans have vowed to come to Capital Stadium in force for Team Hapilopper games. Typically, Hapiloppian fans, including the members of the "Traveling Thrashers" supporters group are among the wildest fans in sport, and promise to be exactly that for the World Cup. Expect to see fans dancing along to 1970s funk music, slamming drums as loudly as possible, waving their flags, and throwing streamers for every Hapiloppian goal. This is the last time Capital Stadium will be used for the National Team, as it will be replaced by the new Ellis SuperStadium, a 120,000 seat stadium built to hold the multiverse's biggest events.

#1 - LOU HYDE | Goalkeeper | Age: 27 | Kicks: Right | twii.tur: @louis_hyde | Club: United Hampton Cities
Style of Play: Sweeper Keeper | Speed: Medium | Physicality: Medium | Attitude: Brooding
The starting goalkeeper for the new Team Hapilopper squad is Louis Hyde, a dark, brooding figure that doesn't necessarily enjoy being around other people. He enjoys the company of his cat, Smokey, and the slow, mournful tunes he listens to on the radio, but aside from that, not much else. You won't see him at a party, and you won't see him slamming back brews with his teammates. Regardless, his teammates at United Hampton Cities think the world of him - primarily because he does his job well. He's there to stop goals, and he does it with great precision. He doesn't get too emotional and he doesn't let the matter at hand get to his head too much.





Image
#2 - HUNTLEY McCULLOUGH | Defenseman | Age: 27 | Kicks: Left | twii.tur: @mccullough40 | Club: Kingsland Warriors
Style of Play: Defensive Back | Speed: Fast | Physicality: High | Attitude: Asshole
One of several veterans of Ellis Football, Huntley McCullough was constantly compared to a younger Nathan Ellis - which, depending on your point of view, could be either the nicest thing anyone could say about someone or the absolute worst. For the Kingsland Warriors, who love his physical, balls-to-the-wall style of play where he willingly puts himself in harm's way to stop a goalscoring effort, it's about the nicest thing. For fans of other teams and in other countries, it's not a very charitable statement about a ballplayer that they feel is just as likely to wage a holy war on the football field as he is to wage the kind of defense that normal football enthusiasts consider "acceptable."





Image
#3 - ARN MARCH | Defenseman | Age: 26 | Kicks: Right | twii.tur: @EnforcerMarch | Club: The Soldiers (Hapilopper City)
Style of Play: Defensive Enforcer | Speed: Medium-Fast | Physicality: Very High | Attitude: Asshole
If you saw Arnold March at Center Street Pub in Hapilopper City - a place he loves to frequent after matches, you'd think he was a 45-year old middle class father of three who enjoyed a cold beer or two - and in fact, many football fans say March is "like that uncle that loves to kick ass on the weekends." You wouldn't think he was the 25-year old "Enforcer" of the Soldiers squad, a physical and imposing character who has gained quite the attention in the last couple of years for his rough play. In most countries, his play - complete with a signature move called a "spinebuster" where he picks up a player on the opposing team, torques about 90 degrees to the left and drives them into the turf - would be called churlish at best, criminal at worst. But in Hapilopper, it's par for the course and almost to be expected in the wild and crazy world of Hapiloppian sport.





Image
#4 - SCOTT ROUNDTREE | Defenseman | Age: 23 | Kicks: Right | twii.tur: @RoundtreeScott | Club: Halsted Heat
Style of Play: Centerback | Speed: Medium | Physicality: Medium-High | Attitude: Intense
It has been observed among members of the Hapiloppian media that the starting defense of Team Hapilopper is dominated by some real charmers - Rod Cutt, Arnold March and Huntley McCullough. Assholes all. On the other hand, Scott Roundtree might be the biggest exception. Roundtree, the captain of the Halsted Heat squad, is said to be one of the nicer players in Hapiloppian football off the pitch. He involves himself in charity work, feeding the less fortunate and raising money to send children to college. On the field, however, Scott is a tenacious bulldog that can stop offensive efforts with his body and doesn't mind putting himself in harm's way to keep goals from being scored. In a famous incident last year against the West Hampton Sports Club, Roundtree dove in front of the ball in an effort to keep it from hitting the back of the net. Unfortunately, WHSC forward Tommy Hobbs didn't stop in time and kicked Roundtree right in the face. Rather than being pissed off about it, however, Roundtree laughed it off, and an image of a bloodied Roundtree chuckling about getting kicked in the face made newspapers all over Hapilopper.

#05 - ROD CUTT | Defenseman | Age: 27 | Kicks: Right | twii.tur: (Banned from twii.tur) | Club: Minortown SC
Style of Play: Defensive Back | Speed: Medium-Fast | Physicality: Violent | Attitude: Major Asshole
The first player hand-picked by the late Nathan Ellis to be a part of the Ellis Football squad, Rod Cutt was picked to be a part of Ellis Football because of his violent tendencies - and that's putting it mildly. Cutt kicked Mort Teeples in the balls in frustration, receiving a straight red and the ire of the fans in Garvinson. Then he threatened to fight the referee. Then he threatened to fight a few fans. But Nathan loved that kind of style. Nathan loved that kind of attitude and fire, telling friends that "a player like Roddy Cutt is a player that wins me football games, and that's why I brought him in." In Nathan's memory, the HFA has offered this roster slot to Cutt, and a modified version of "The Number of Violence," 05, rather than Nathan's 5, which has been retired in the wake of Ellis's death.

#6 - TIM RADOMIA | Midfielder | Age: 25 | Kicks: Left | twii.tur: @timradomia30 | Club: Garvinson Trojans
Style of Play: Defensive Midfielder | Speed: Medium | Physicality: Only When Necessary | Attitude: Stoner
The good news is that Timmy Radomia, that chill midfielder with the long hair and the weird smile, is still a crucial part of the Hapiloppian midfield. The bad news is that he enjoys his green plants a tiny bit too much, still. Timmy was recently suspended by the Trojans for openly smoking a bong about a half hour before a Garvinson match against the Halsted Heat in front of the entire team, and smoking out the entire Garvinson clubhouse to the point where the entire team, its staff and two reporters got a pretty gnarly contact high as a result. Garvinson lost the match, 6-0, and Radomia was given a straight red in the first five minutes after running up to the referee with a really goofy smile on his face and going on a tangent about ham sandwiches, fried chicken and conservative politicians from the Garvinson area. We wish we were making this up.

#7 - HERB WATTS | Midfielder | Age: 28 | Kicks: Right | twii.tur: @herbert-w17 | Club: Pinkerton City SC
Style of Play: Defensive Midfielder | Speed: Medium | Physicality: Medium-High | Attitude: Intense
Soccer players in Hapilopper tend to have some very interesting quirks about them. Some get a little too artistic about scoring goals. Others could be put on terrorism watch lists for their violent style of play, while others make their teammates uneasy with what they do. For Herbert Watts, the midfielder from Pinkerton, his quirk tends to involve daytime trash television. Watts loves those trashy talk shows that cover deep, intellectual subjects like "I'm leaving you for my cousin!" and "I discovered my wife is sleeping with a racist!" to the point where these shows - to the chagrin of his teammates - are aired in the Pinkerton clubhouse before practice every morning. Herbert is reportedly an active poster on message boards that discuss these daytime talk shows and wrote a passionate defense of these shows in the Pinkerton Daily Times - saying it was a guilty pleasure of many, but damn it, it's fun to watch, so let us have these shows.





Image
#8 - JARED KELCEY | Midfielder | Age: 25 | Kicks: Left | twii.tur: @jaredkelcey | Club: Capital City United
Style of Play: Offensive (in more than one way) Midfielder | Speed: Fast | Physicality: Heavy (to himself) | Attitude: Clumsy
Following the long tradition of Hapiloppian athletes doing dumb things to themselves, Jared Kelcey has been asked by Capital City United to please not drive himself to the stadium for the good of everyone. This follows an incident where Kelcey apparently got ticketed by Hapilopper City Police for driving the wrong way down a one-way street, going 75 in a 35, and nearly mowing down a church bus full of old ladies going to the community center for their weekly bingo game. This also follows a bizarre incident at Capital Stadium in a match against Peoria where Kelcey tried going for a header, he missed and face-planted the artificial turf with extreme prejudice. This also follows an incident where, not looking where he was going at Capital City's training facility, he smashed into a vending machine, breaking glass and sending snacks flying through the air. This guy might be a walking disaster area, folks, so tread lightly.

#9 - TAD WINSLOW | Midfielder | Age: 27 | Kicks: Right | twii.tur: (none) | Club: FC Surrey
Style of Play: Offensive Midfielder | Speed: Medium-Fast | Physicality: Low | Attitude: Creative
One of a growing breed of Hapiloppian midfielders who can score goals just as well as the strikers, Tad Winslow has been the premier goal scoring threat for FC Surrey, scoring 22 goals last season, oftentimes from some really unusual places and in unusual ways - and we're not just talking about the "bicycle kick past the keeper's head," we're talking "trick shot off the post" kind of goals. And, in truth, Winslow should probably be credited for 23 goals last season, but because of rules concerning own goals, perhaps his wildest trick shot goal (and the wildest trick shot goal probably ever) didn't count to him. In a match against Kingsland Warriors, Winslow fired one directly at Kingsland defenseman Huntley McCullough, striking him directly in the nuts. The ball bounced off McCullough's nuts and into the goal. McCullough doubled over in pain, and to add insult to injury, he got credited with an own goal. Winslow got a yellow card for his impetuosity.





Image
#10 - BEN FAIRCHILD | Forward | Age: 22 | Kicks: Left | twii.tur: @bennyfairchild | Club: Hap City Highway Patrol
Style of Play: Center Forward | Speed: Very Fast | Physicality: Low | Attitude: Professional
The ironic thing about Ben Fairchild playing for a team called the "Highway Patrol" - a team owned by the City Police Brotherhood Union - is that he tends to drive a tad bit too fast out on the road, not letting a little thing like a "speed limit" slow him down. Fairchild, who scored 31 goals for Highway Patrol last season, also racked up 31 speeding tickets in that same time - which he happily pays a few days later, even with an admonishment to "please slow your ass down." Fairchild nearly got himself out of one ticket back in February when he told a police officer that he was so happy he got pulled over, because that meant he'd score a goal in the next match. The officer thought that was funny, but told him to please, good god almighty damn, slow your ass down.





Image
#11 - STAN MCLAMB | Forward | Age: 26 | Kicks: Right | twii.tur: @mclamb11 | Club: Garvinson Trojans
Style of Play: Artistic Goal-Scoring | Speed: Fast | Physicality: Low | Attitude: Asshole
The thing about Stan McLamb is that he's great. He's a genius when it comes to scoring goals - scoring 37 for Garvinson last season. The problem with Stan McLamb is that he's great and he knows it. He wants you to know he's great. He has let his greatness come to his head, and he isn't shy about letting his teammates know that he is not only great, but he's better than anyone else. And that was, to be sure, a red flag for Nathan Ellis when he recruited McLamb. And that was, to be sure, a red flag when Thom Perkins and Ernie Stevenson saw Stan storm straight into the offices of the Hapilopper Football Association demanding his roster spot. But, you see, Nathan loved Stan. He thought he was one of the best goal-scoring ballplayers he had ever seen. And he loved his attitude. Stan lives and dies by "Win the whole fucking thing," which was Nathan's mantra, and he's going to make damn sure the team does just that.





Image
#21 - DANIEL BRADFORD | Defenseman | Age: 23 | Kicks: Ass | twii.tur: @dannybradford50 | Club: FC Buckridge
Style of Play: Centerback | Speed: Medium | Physicality: Like a pissed-off drunk at a honky tonk | Attitude: Redneck
You know, in most instances Daniel Bradford would be a starting defenseman on a Hapiloppian national team. But those "most instances" don't involve a pissed-off Ernie Stevenson fishing him out of a country and western bar having started a fistfight with some cowboy because Daniel had tried hooking up with his girl. And those "most instances" don't involve throwing a glass of whiskey at said cowboy because he said he was "one of them fancypants soccer players that can't line dance no good." What I guess we're saying is that Dan Bradford starts bar fights, he does stupid things, he's piss-poor at line dancing and he may or may not have told some lady to hit the floor when someone said it was time for a "hoedown," whatever the hell that means. Either way, his bad behavior cost him a starting spot on the Hapiloppian squad, but he might get it back if he does well enough.





Image
#22 - TIM STONE | Defenseman | Age: 24 | Kicks: Right | twii.tur: @tim_stone | Club: United Hampton Cities
Style of Play: Defensive Back | Speed: Medium | Physicality: Medium | Attitude: Calm
So, what do we put in for a player that doesn't really get in trouble, isn't considered a "football terrorist" and doesn't do anything that puts him on any most wanted lists or watch lists? What do we do for a football player who doesn't really have a lot of hobbies outside of playing football? I mean, we could write that Tim Stone is a great defensive player who can stop a goalscoring effort with ease, but damn, that's boring. We were writing that shit years ago when we introduced you to the Baptism of Fire squad. And damn, I guess that means Timmy Stone is boring as shit. He plays good football, he plays good defense, but he doesn't get in trouble, he doesn't do anything embarrassing and he doesn't make a complete ass of himself. Maybe he should get himself into card trouble more often - it might get him a starting spot on the national team.





Image
#23 - DAVID COLT | Defenseman | Age: 25 | Kicks: Left | twii.tur: @coltman60 | Club: West Hampton Sports Club
Style of Play: Centerback | Speed: Medium | Physicality: Heavy | Attitude: Antisocial
When we go out to interview players, their coaches and some fans for these short profile snippets about members of the Hapiloppian team, usually a trend comes about. Certain people will talk about how a certain player is just the nicest guy, or the fiercest competitor, or the best dressed, or someone they might not want to ride with on the highway. When we asked people about David Colt, their responses were just about the same. "He doesn't have friends," one person said. "He sits at the end of the bar, drinks his beer, and walks away when someone sits next to him. He speaks in monosyllables. His idea of a good time is to stand off to the corner, drink a beer and avoid every single person around him." One teammate suggested it's because he has a miniscule tolerance for bullshit; while another suggested he got stuffed in a locker in school by some guy.





Image
#24 - PETER HARDY | Defenseman | Age: 30 | Kicks: Right | twii.tur: @pete_hardy99 | Club: The Soldiers (Hapilopper City)
Style of Play: Defensive Back | Speed: Medium-Slow | Physicality: Heavy | Attitude: Goofball
Last year, the HFA announced, to the bewilderment of many, that kazoos had been outlawed from every single stadium where one of their matches were taking place. When asked why, Dom Probst, the head of the HFA, said "those that know, know. Those that don't, don't need to know." It turns out that Peter Hardy, a kazoo expert (for some reason), had been playing the kazoo in the clubhouse for weeks before the start of games, when Dom Probst, apparently looking for players for the national team, entered the room - while Hardy was playing some children's tune for the sixth time in a row. One player asked Probst to step in. Probst reportedly told Hardy that if he didn't stop with the kazoo, he'd take it from his hands and "ram it so far up your ass you won't even know what hit you." Hardy did exactly that. According to some reports, he is plotting to have the Hapiloppian National Anthem played by a bunch of kazoo players before a Campionato Esportiva match.





Image
#31 - KYLE NICHOLSON | Midfielder | Age: 27 | Kicks: Right | twii.tur: @kyle_nick | Club: Washington FC
Style of Play: Offensive Midfielder | Speed: Medium | Physicality: Medium | Attitude: Redneck
Pickup truck enthusiast Kyle Nicholson was a surprising selection to the Hapiloppian football squad, likely because of the constantly-poor standard of play from Washington FC, constant bottom-dwellers in the HFA standings and the one team everyone points as as the biggest argument in favor of introducing promotion and relegation into Hapiloppian football. But the one high point on that team is Kyle Nicholson, who impresses fans and experts alike with his strong play. In a recent game against Soldiers, where Washington was trounced 7-0, Nicholson was seen as the only reason they didn't get shut out 10-0. Some have said he is "the only reason Washington wins any games at all" and "if he was on another team, he'd be on a first-place team." Away from the pitch, Nicholson enjoys going off-roading on his lifted pickup truck.





Image
#32 - COLIN FINLEY | Midfielder | Age: 29 | Kicks: Right | twii.tur: (banned from twii.tur) | Club: Raceway FC
Style of Play: Hybrid Midfielder | Speed: Medium | Physicality: Heavy | Attitude: Drunk
You know, there is a such thing as too much of a good thing. Just ask Colin "Wild Dog" Finley, midfielder for Raceway Football Club in Buckridge, nicknamed not because of his wild standard of play, nor because of his tendency to visit the Laughing Dog Bar and Grill in nearby Kensington Town, but rather because of his love of Wild Dog, a form of cheap, fortified wine, also known as a "bum wine" - which you can get for $5 at the local liquor store or gas station. It's this love of Wild Dog that got him banned from multiple social media outlets a few months ago. As he got rip-roaringly drunk after a match, Finley let loose his opinions, which were a little too spicy for anyone's liking, and that got him kicked out. As for those opinions? We'll leave those out, and we'll let you look those up on your own time (and because I don't want to get DEAT'd for a roster post -Hap)





Image
#33 - RORY SCHUYLER | Midfielder | Age: 28 | Kicks: Right | twii.tur: @roaringrory | Club: West Hampton Sports Club
Style of Play: Hybrid Midfielder | Speed: Fast | Physicality: Heavy | Attitude: Asshole
Oh god, it's this guy. He exudes "douchebag" at every angle. He plays like a douchebag. He looks like a douchebag. He acts like a douchebag. He has hair like a douchebag. Three years in a row, he's won H-Sports Magazine "Guy You'd Like To Punch In The Face" award. Each of those years, he was nominated by one of his teammates. So, why does Rory Schuyler stay on the West Hampton Sports Club, and why did he get a spot on the national team? Because even if he's got the most punchable face in Hapiloppian sports, and even if Rod Cutt may physically introduce Rory's head to his ass by the time the Campionato Esportiva is over, he's still a damn fine midfielder, and still a crucial piece of any team's goalscoring effort, or any sort of defensive campaign that can stop a goal from being scored. That said, we think everyone is cheering for Rod to keel-haul this guy on live television.





Image
#34 - TRACY HUNTER | Midfielder | Age: 20 | Kicks: Right | twii.tur: @trace_hunter | Club: The Soldiers (Hapilopper City)
Style of Play: Offensive Midfielder | Speed: Medium | Physicality: Medium | Attitude: Professional
It's easy to spot Tracy Hunter outside of Capital Stadium in Hapilopper City. He's the guy that looked like he just stepped out of 1986. (Compared to most Hapiloppians, who look like they stepped out of 1996) That comes complete with mullet, aviator sunglasses, white suit jacket with the sleeves rolled up, black t-shirt underneath, blue acid-washed jeans and loafers with no socks, as he gets out of a 1980s Preston Skychief. It's also easy to spot Tracy Hunter inside Capital Stadium. He's the false nine for the team, scoring two dozen goals last year. He's one not getting in trouble, letting some of the hot dogs do that for him. The girls love him - and one recent magazine called Tracy "the sexiest schmuck in Hapiloppian soccer." He's on the bench, however, for the national team. Why? He's only 19 years old. Thom Perkins calls him "a starter for the future."





Image
#41 - TREVOR CRISP | Forward | Age: 26 | Kicks: Right | twii.tur: @crispy_trevor | Club: North Hampton FC
Style of Play: Center Forward | Speed: Fast | Physicality: Low | Attitude: Calm
Had Stan McLamb not stormed into the HFA offices demanding his spot as starting 11 back, Trevor Crisp would have had the role. Some say he's faster, some say he's better, many say he's less controversial. He scored 41 goals last year for North Hampton, including five in one match against Lake Sprague after their keeper, Fox Humbert, knocked his dumb ass out by faceplanting the goalpost for the third time that season. But what Crisp has going against him, as well as Ellis's love for McLamb, is his attitude. Many say he's not tough enough and he's not hungry enough to get past that hump that would make him the top striker in Hapiloppian football. Ernie Stevenson is reportedly not high on him either, largely because of that complacent attitude.





Image
#42 - CRAIG BLACKWOOD | Forward | Age: 24 | Kicks: Right | twii.tur: @thebeststriker | Club: United Hampton Cities
Style of Play: Artistic Goal Scorer | Speed: Fast | Physicality: Medium | Attitude: Obnoxious
Craig Blackwood calls himself the best goal scorer in all of Hapiloppian football. Everyone disagrees. He calls his celebrations the best in football. Everyone disagrees. He calls his goals the most beautiful in all of Hapiloppian football. Everyone disagrees. Sure, 29 goals is nothing to sniff at, but as Thom Perkins said, "he'd score 59 if he'd quit hot dogging all the time!" While Blackwood is seen as an annoying cuss who probably needs to get punched in the face a few times to get him to stop doing this shit, the reality is that he's got great potential as an international footballer, either in Hapilopper or beyond. And that's why Thom Perkins and Ernie Stevenson doesn't really have that much of a problem with him. While Trevor Crisp refuses to get better, Craig Blackwood wants to be the best, and that, to them, is a good thing.





Image
#60 - MANNY WAKEFIELD | Goalkeeper | Age: 25 | Kicks: Right | twii.tur: @manwake_60 | Club: Hapilopper City Highway Patrol
Style of Play: Sweeper Keeper | Speed: Slow | Physicality: Low | Attitude: Intense
Here's the thing about Manny Wakefield - he's a good guy, he does a lot of good in his community, but man, when you get him on the field, he becomes a bulldog. People have seen the fire in his eyes that demonstrates the intense focus he practices. And that focus pays off in spades, as Manny averages one goal allowed per 77 minutes of play - much lower than top-tier goalies from years past, but as "Funball" takes hold in Hapilopper, so too does increased goals. People are scoring goals like crazy, and that's had an impact on someone like Manny. Manny hates the fact that goal-scoring has gone up so much in Hapilopper, but he's going to have to make the most of it, or else. Away from the field, though, Manny enjoys a nice round of golf and talking to his friends about it - and when we say that, we mean he brags about hitting the green from the tee on the par-3 16th at Lake Eclipse Golf Club using his driver, which he says is justifiable because the hole was playing about 220.





Image
#90 - FOX HUMBERT | Goalkeeper | Age: 22 | Kicks: Left | twii.tur: @fox_humbert | Club: Lake Sprague FC
Style of Play: Save and Pray | Speed: Slow | Physicality: Against the goalpost? Very heavy | Attitude: Clumsy
We introduce you to the reason Hapiloppian television networks put microphones in the goalposts in HFA matches, and why the HFA tracks the number of times players slam into the goalposts. That statistic, a bit cruelly, is called the "Fox," and Humbert led the league in Foxes with eleven last year. This tends to happen, for whatever reason. And this keeps happening. Humbert will - with reckless abandon - slam himself into players, the goalpost, and even an errant referee or photographer on occasion. Perhaps most hilariously, in a game against Highway Patrol last season, Humbert - for reasons unknown to us all - chased after the ball towards the corner kick area, jumped up, and when he landed, had that corner kick flag go right up his rear end. Don't ask us why.

Goalkeepers:
Ausleif Tacharan [Salvienne AN (AUP)]
Jacque Luseau [Eolorent (AUP)]


Coach: Pierre Camanin
Assistant: Rien Charbreaux
Assistant: Eleo Vicard
Selection Priority: Slowly but surely integrating more Lige 1 talent as the league gets better
Formation: 4-4-2
Style Mod: +4

Pierre Camanin has lost his mind. Changing from the Auprussian trademark 4-2-3-1 into an irresponsibly aggressive 4-4-2 has many thinking this could be his last cycle. It seems like he is going for one final desperate change to get Auprussia into the World Cup. While the attempt is admirable the overly aggressive style of play could be his undoing. The talent is here for a good run but the manager is probably not up to task at this point.

The two strikers up front at least complement each other as Roquen Perugignac is a very laid back striker focused more of distribution and passing while Miren Saloux-Chard is a more classical Auprussian striker. The midfield of Ivicer-Chandelique-Pardau-deu Cavaldraissaiy is probably the biggest strength of this team. All 4 have been good performers at both club and international play with Martin Ivicer especially being the biggest goal scoring threat in the starting lineup. The defense seems to be improved with the injection of both Prospierre Aregnac-Tignon and Tenlon Rachaiglu. A Vitore Enetac coming off one of the most impressive campaigns for an Auprussian domestically besides Roquen Perugignac and the ever present Rene Mattigallou who has been a solid piece for the Auprussian defense. Morten Gallis is the best goalkeeper Auprussia has and it is no contest but Camanin has decided to bring in both a younger domestic goalkeeper and an underrated domestic goalkeeper.

Stadiums:
Parc De Nasional (55000): Fully repaired and plays host to Tasse Du Auprussia Finals after the conclusion of Lige 1's 5th season. The venue has started to slowly make a comeback in modern times. Striga, the district this stadium is in has also come into an economic boon recently.

Parc d'Auprus (45000): Home to a rejuvenated Auprussia NF located in the Cenviesse district of Auprus by a marine research facility it was one of the few stadiums not affected by the financial money pit that was Lige PRO. Fans come by boat to observe the marine life nearby the research facility or they come by train which drops them off right in front of the stadium. The community has found itself on a crossroads as the decline of Auprussia NF has coincided with the decline of Cenviesse (The district the stadium is in)

Coeur de Sassen Alexia (60000): Another stadium owned by a Lige 1 club, the newly promoted but very old powerhouse Alexia. Founded in the Alexia-Roswulfe district it has a "unique" contingent of fans who travel by horse like the old Sassen merchants used to do. The newer Sassen merchants just prefer to move their goods by trucks or trains and sell them in the biggest market in Auprussia.

The Royal Independent State of the Panay Islands and Guimaras, also called Panay Islands and Guimaras, or Panay-Guimaras is a nation in Asia. Located in the Philippine archipelago, Panay Islands and Guimaras has been a touristic hotbed because of its beaches and nature conserving tourist attractions which the government funded. The Panay Islands and Guimaras dominion is consisted of 5 autonomous provinces and 1 federal canton.

Sports has been so popular amongst Panayenses and is heavily funded by the government. The main sports were football, basketball, volleyball, boxing, rugby (specifically both codes), and Australian rules football, or as we call it "balonpié".

The fans here is so passionate, just like in the Latin American countries, where they have drums, repiques, snares, trombones, trumpets, colorful tifos, and banners to show support for the national team.

It's a tradition for the Panayense athletes to sing their victory anthem (inspired by Australia's club song) after a win since the 1956 Olympics.

ABOUT THE MANAGER
Claudio Niiyama was born in León, Iloílo with parents Sachiko and Romualdo. He first played professionally with CS Leganés. He had a decent career in both first and second division, until injuries made him to retire. Because of his bachelor degree in politics at the Royal Central University, which he played for varsity, he took the managing job for teams like Unión Barotaqueño, ASU Antique, and Gimnasia de Passi. He had some successes there as a manager that led him to manage the national team since 2021.

ABOUT THE HEAD COACH
Gilberto Ávila was born in Dao, Capiz in 15 November, 1979. As a young kid, he played in a small club in his hometown as a goalkeeper, but it wasn't a success when he grew up. Because of this, he would turn on to coaching when he was in Iloílo in the coaching academy of the royal federation, and took some internships in Japan, South Korea, and Indonesia. His first coaching experience back home was a small club in Guimaras called CF Dinamo Sibunag in 2008 in the 3rd division, looking to promote the team but failed to do so after the promotional playoff quarterfinals, but he actually did it in his second season there into the 2nd division as 3rd placers after beating Atlético Real de Leganés. After his stay in Sibunag, he would go on to be an assistant coach at Roasso Kumamoto, serving both Takagi and Ikeya and was the interim coach for just 6 months before Ikeya came back to coach the team. He resigned in 2014 to coach Atlético Japonés, which they were in Liga 2 at that time, gaining promotion in his first season and even get them to the AFC Champions League Two (formerly AFC Cup) but got knocked out by Home United (now Lion City Sailors) in 2017. After a nearly-disastrous 2018 season, he would go on to be Capiz' new provincial head coach, which he led them to win 3 titles in a row starting in 2020 and made the AFC Champions League finals but lost to Al Ain. After this stellar performance with the green and yellows, he would be called on to coach the national team with the help of Topacio Hermógenes de la Cruz, the first 2nd division player to cap for the national team in 1996 and José Antonio Moon replacing the terense Lázaro Pierini.

Born in Anini-y, he was a high school standout for the Provincial Institute of Antique and was called on to the U15s of the Antique provincial team in the first division of Panayense youth football and was scouted by Asian lower league teams such as Ventforet Kofu and Chungnam Asan, but he turned down the offer and instead get a chance to be teammates with Ricalde in Regatas Boracay, which he's still playing for them even though Ricalde left to play abroad in Edsmontik.

EDUARDO HEO
Heo is also a collegiate standout but for the Korean University of the Federal Canton. He's just like Sergio Ramos but better. He might have the hooligan personality but he actually defended the field with pride and passion and he bring that passion and pride into the pros.

MANUEL MORI
A tackling machine from the Antique Provincial University and until now, a tackling machine in the pros for CS Leganés. So, watch out for the tackling supersub!

JOSÉ LUIS DEL CASTRO
Currently playing in Imporia, José Luis has been a good midfielder from Guimarás, but the Imporian scouts has seen his brilliant dribbling skills and his goalscoring ability. So he's going to get signed by an Imporian club and his skills haven't been much better ever since he stepped foot on the Imporian pros.

MANOLITO RODRIGUEZ
A Panay Royal University standout for his leadership and dribbling skills, has captained both varsity and professional level, currently plays for his beloved Iloílo Industrial. He's an all-around captain. A defender, dribbler, goalscorer, and a leader. He recently got master's degree in both economics and political sciences in the same university he played in.

GUSTAVO TIU
Hailing from Nueva Valencia in Guimaras, Tiu has been a top collegiate footballer for the Provincial University of Guimaras and he recently made his debut with the Guimaras provincial football team in second division. He's the first player from 2nd division to play for the national team after Topacio Hermógenes de la Cruz in 1996 while he's playing for Mohun Bagan de Panay. Get ready to get dazzled by Tiu's feet!

JAVIER RICALDE
A Panayense superstar, the first non-Edsmon to play in the Edsmon leagues, Javi Ricalde has been a proving top goalscorer since he joined the pros at an early young age of 17 after getting drafted from his high school. He played first for Marítimo de Roxas and Regatas Boracay, where he always became the league's topscorer. That's why the Edsmons are interested to sign him into the Edsmon leagues, and has played here ever since he stepped foot in Edsmontik. (Ironic that he's playing our rivals there but come on he's a goalscorer)

My opponent, if they RP first, may do the following:
I would prefer you choose these scorers: Sometimes, it's Ricalde the leading goalscorer but other goalscorers that'll do.
Godmod scoring events: Yes
RP injuries to my players: Yes, just one player
Godmod injuries to my players: No
Hand out yellow cards to my players: Yes, just 2
Hand out red cards to my players: Yes, only once
Godmod other events: No
Generate stadium happenings: Yes, also pre-game too

The Republic of Bohr National Football Team, 2001

World Cup 98 Qualifying

Team Colors: Maroon and White (White and Maroon, if we’re feeling fancy)
Style Mod: -1.5


Head Coach:
Ellis Leach, a 43-year-old who looks significantly younger, first came to prominence as the defensive coach and set-piece coordinator for the BCF-winning 1997 Motan FC squad; a couple seasons later, when Motan legend Quinn Jensen called it a career, Leach took charge. Motan has declined significantly since its heyday, and rumors have abounded since the announcement that Leach was chosen more as a compromise candidate than for any of his own football acumen; however, he has shown an ability to steal points from more talented teams, a skill that will probably be necessary in the long, winding road that is the World Cup qualifiers.

Leach primarily uses a fairly boilerplate 4-2-3-1, with a specific focus on out-of-possession structure and marking schemes that are certainly too complex to go in-depth on here; he is a devout believer in using as many subs as possible, and so will likely be shuffling around the formation a bit as the group stage goes on.

The Players:
All players play in Bohr Championship Football (OOC: I’m trying to get through one World Cup cycle before going in-depth on my domestic league).

Ideal Starting Lineup (4-2-3-1):
GK - Arnold Harrow; age 31; Motan FC; #30
LB - Amine Bouquet; age 24; Akinis FC; #1
CB - Jaxon Girard (c); age 33; Heavenly Princess; #2
CB - Jonathan Haider; age 32; Becis City; #3
RB - Matty Garnett; age 23; Colside Mechanic; #4
CM - Herb Schuyler; age 22; Heavenly Princess; #6
CM - Lee Brunner; age 27; Becis City; #14
LW - Orlan Healy; age 28; Heavenly Princess; #11
AM - Grady Roces; age 21; St. Natasha Pyramid; #9
RW - Charlie Lundin; age 33; Akinis FC; #7
CF - Jamie Sullivan; age 25; St. Natasha Pyramid; #10

First-Choice Backups:
GK - Klein Morel; age 26; Colside Mechanic; #21
F/M - Eli Sheve; age 26; Heavenly Princess; #0
LB - Pete Warnor; age 30; St. Natasha Pyramid; #15
CB - August Soto; age 31; Motan FC; #33
AM - Vasily Khalikov; age 20; Shansco Athletic; #19
LW - Jace Simmons; age 24; Becis City; #20
ST - Towson Turner; age 25; Akinis FC; #12

Second-Choice Backups:
GK - Matteo Dipper; age 35; Heavenly Princess; #42
LB - Glenn Goodwin; age 25; Colside Mechanic; #5
CB - Simon Thatcher; age 25; Colside Mechanic; #17
DM - Lance Good; age 30; Shansco Athletic; #16
CM - James Herbert; age 24; Weaver Union; #23
RW/RM - Alexandr Korystov; age 31; Heavenly Princess; #27
ST - Jackie Ding; age 23; Weaver Union; #29

Most Likely To:
Score from Close Range: Jamie Sullivan, Orlan Healy, Towson Turner
Score from Deep: Herb Schuyler, Orlan Healy, Eli Sheve
Score a Header: Jamie Sullivan, Jaxon Girard, Charlie Lundin
Hit a Nice Cross: Orlan Healy, Matty Garnett, Grady Roces
Hit a Nice Through-Ball: Herb Schuyler, Grady Roces, Eli Sheve
Get Carded: Amine Bouquet, Jonathan Haider, Lee Brunner
Take Penalties: Jamie Sullivan, Towson Turner, Orlan Healy
Take Free Kicks: Herb Schuyler, Orlan Healy, Vasily Khalikov


Venues:
February 1st Stadium (capacity: 80,000), Central Becis (home of Becis City) - the flagship Bohrian stadium; rated “Most Evil Place to Play” by Bohrsport seven years running

Fielding Memorial Stadium (capacity: 62,500), East Becis (home of Heavenly Princess, as well as the Zephael college team) - old, and old money; rumors of a meeting room below the field have been vehemently denied by Heavenly Princess leaders with strangely echoing voices

St. Natasha Stadium (capacity: 70,000), St. Natasha (home of St. Natasha Pyramid), Becis Capital Region - most state-of-the-art stadium in Bohr; it took six months to scrape off all the gambling ads in here and we’re still pretty sure we missed a few

Mitandir Field (capacity: 40,000), Motan (home of Motan FC, as well as the NWP college team), Northwest Bohr - cold and windy; fans here are generally passive-aggressive, except when it gets below freezing and they simply become aggressive

Weaver City Field (capacity: 25,000), Weaver (home of Weaver Union), Southeast Bohr - Colside and Shansco couldn’t stop arguing over the fifth venue choice so neither of them got it; a nice field in a nice neighborhood, the stadium’s only weakness is that there’s no room to snark about it

RP Permissions:
See above for which players should be doing which things; you don't have to 100% stick to that, but it's a solid guideline.
Cards and injuries are fine as long as they're not overly severe, I'd prefer nothing too far outside of the box as far as godmods go.
If you think something is going to be weird, or just have a RP idea that you want to run by me, feel free to TG/DM me; I'm probably most available on Discord as gold_en, but will try to respond to NS stuff also.
Thanks!

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 kilometers and has a population of just under 14 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 comprises 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 qualification 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 in 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.

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

Burnham-on-Stove

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

Nova Calania

500: The first documented permanent Aztec settlements in Nova Calania dates from around 500 AD.

1748: Explorers of Polish origins came to the area just south of Krytenia and southwest of Ibixa and founded the town of Ostrow Krolewski on the shores of the Ocean of Ayes. They named the area Odlegla Ziemia (Distant Land).

1760-1820: Odlegla Ziemia expanded southwest and further inland on the east.

1793: Jean-Jacques Le Boucanier established his colony in what is known today as Vieux-Saint-Jean-Jacques (Old St. Jean-Jacques) or Vieille-Ville (Old Town) just northeast of Cardenao. This is the foundation of Saint-Jean-Jacques-sur-Mer. The city state expanded on both side of the Stove river.

1818: Explorers of Asian origin came to the area between Saint-Jean-Jacques-sur-Mer and Odlegla Ziemia and founded the city state of Shanzhou. This stopped Odleglian expansion southwest of their capital.

1851-54: The Aztecs, helped with some mercenaries from Saint-Jean-Jacques-sur-Mer and Burnham-on-Stove, attacked Odlegla Ziemia and took back 1/3 of Odlegla Ziemia's land that was previously stolen from the Aztecs.

1923: Districts of Saint-Jean-Jacques-sur-Mer located north of the Stove river (mostly English speaking) declared their independence and formed a new communist state under the name of Burnham-on-Stove.

2023: Saint-Jean-Jacques-sur-Mer and Burnham-on-Stove united to form a new sporting alliance. Both nations remained independents on all aspects, except they shared a joint national team in all sports.

2025: On may 15th 2025, leaders from Saint-Jean-Jacques-sur-Mer, Burnham-on-stove, Odlegla Ziemia, Shanzhou and the Nova Calanian Aztec Confederacy united together to form the United States of Nova Calania. Unlike Saint-Jean-Jacques et Burnham-on-Stove, it's not just a sporting alliance. It's a policical, economic, military and sporting alliance.

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.

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.

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.

Richelieu Øy Fotballag
Équipe nationale de football d'Île de Richelieu


Nation Information
Full Name: Fri Stat av Richelieu Øy
Capital: Sankt Hans Havn or Port Saint-Jean
Demonym: Richelois or Richelisk
Nickname: Bears

Short Nation History:

Île de Richelieu (formerly known as Jan Mayen Island) was discovered by Dutch explorers early in the 17th century and served as a whaling base until it was abandonned. France claimed the island in the 19th century and renamed it Île de Richelieu (Richelieu Island) but the island's jurisdiction was finally given to Norway. The French speaking majority, led by the clergy, declared the independence of Île de Richelieu in 1948.

However, in winter 2024-25, during the Independents Championship 20, the nation was the theater of a military Coup d'État made by the Nasjonal Patriotisk Front av Richelieu Øy (NPFRO) and it's leader, Ragnhild Østerberg. Former Cardinal of Île de Richelieu, Jean-René De la Sablonnière, his wife and his older son, Jean-William De la Sablonnière, an 18 years old professional football player, all died in the Coup d'État. Many French speaking Richelois fled the nation and dispersed themselves all over the multiverse.

Home Stadium

Norwegian name: Bjørnefjellets Nasjonalstadion
French name: Stade national de la montagne de l'ours
English name: Bear Mountain National Stadium
Capacity: 11,569
Location: Sankt Hans Havn (Port Saint-Jean), Richelieu Øy

Image

The Bjørnefjellets Nasjonalstadion has been build specifically for international matches. Île de Richelieu's population is 543 since the Coup d'État, so, with a capacity of 11,569, a little more than 10,000 foreign football fans can attend the games!

The stadium has 3 stands. East Side stand, West Side stand and North Endline Stand. There is a small VIP stand on the south endline and the pressbox is located on the south endline as well. The stadium has lights on the four corners so evening games can be played. The stadium doesn't have a video board, nor a scoreboard.

Île de Richelieu's population is 543. The largest city and capital city is Sankt Hans Havn (Port Saint-Jean) and one third of the island's population lives in the city (182). The city have a few upscale restaurants along with fast food restaurants and some local pubs. Beer is largely consumed on the island and Richelois likes to get around at the local pub after work.

The island only have one hotel and it may cause a problem if 10,000 football fans are coming. The only hotel on the island is a 124 room SpringHill Suites by Marriott located in the old Port Saint-Jean and half of hotel will be reserved for the visiting team (players, staff and media) who will have 50 rooms at their disposal. The remaining rooms (74) will be sold at a high price for football fans. The island also has a dozen of guesthouses that ranges from 1 to 8 rooms each. Football fans will have to bring their tents and sleeping bags and camp on the outskirts of the town!

île de Richelieu has a hyperoceanic polar climate with a Köppen classification of ET (polar with tundra), sometimes reckoned as EM (maritime polar). Seasonal temperature variations are extremely small considering the latitude of the island, with ranges from around 6 °C (43 °F) in July/August to −4 °C (25 °F) in February/March. The highest recorded temperature in the summer was 18.1 °C (64.6 °F) in june and the lowest recorded temperature was -28.4 °C (-19.1 °F) in february. Being located inside the arctic circle, île de Richelieu experiences sun light almost all day long in the summer and darkness almost all day long in the winter.

Keep An Eye On:
Maktholm GHREKSBVY
Not one FDVL Vdesmon has ever had the chance to brag about leaving the country.
But Maktholm just had his luck.
And for 6 million Vdesmonyvus, or 3 million NSD, he's living out the life in Tikariot.
With his new training, away from miserably failing Touve Tajhav, he cannot wait to begin his next season.
Shown almost instantly at the revived Touve Suberarenae, his pals think he might have gotten too good.

Stadium

Information
The Karmic Republic of Edsmontik is located in the very Northeastern tip of Karma, bordering the East Karman Ocean.
It is home to approximately 197 million people, which mostly live in the densely populated cities of Touve, Woodhill, Yaneu, and more.
The Edsmon population is diverse, full of people from every corner of Karma and other regions around the multiverse.
People commonly come to the nation to witness the ice-cold winters in Skejiver and Northeviige-Tretovikenhanz, the beautiful beaches of the coastal cities, and the massive sports events that range from stock car racing to football/soccer and handball.

Being so far north, the summers are mild temperatures, barely going past 60 degrees Fahrenheit in the warmest areas.
Winters can be freezing, especially up in Skejiver and N.T., with temperatures dropping as low as -7 degrees Fahrenheit.
Sports have had a long history in the nation, beginning as far back as 1881 when the Independent State of Vdes was founded.
In the early 1900s, the nation evolved into the Vdes Union, and then to modern day Edsmontik.
Sports boomed during this time, with people looking for ways to entertain themselves.

Touve Suberarenae
Image
Located in southeastern Touve in Austrankank, the Touve Suberarenae is this WC's Edsmon stadium.
Looking at its former shell just last year, what it fits now is simply not able to be compared to.
Edsmontik has done a lot; and they'll be showing it through their new and first 100,000 seats stadium.
Following the Suberarenae will soon be every other major stadium- to possibly house 75000-90000 fans each.
The new Suberarenae is built partially into the ground and will be Touve Tajhav's home stadium starting the 2031 season.
It is estimated that 100,870 people will be able to sit in this stadium.

Recent history

The Starsian National Football Team is The 14 Stars's national squad in association soccer competitions for national associations across the entire multiverse world of soccer.
There have been alot of changes since their last appearance in the World Cup 97 run which made them known on the international stage with most importantly Kira Blade the best player in Starsian history no longer being an international causing a huge amount of outrage from fans and experts.

With the current last series of results the team has worked hard to establish itself as both a regional and a global powerhouse under the great leadership of Keira Walcott.
Curretly one generation is passing the torch to another and most recently the best player of the country Kira Blade announced her end as an international marking a historic moment and a great loss for the sport.
With 92 matches and 19 goals scored shes been at every important moment in the teams history, her father who was back then the coach already called it that he selected her for her skill not her name and she proved that.
Now with her gone the team has to pick up the pieces, Federico Zaratti a long time veteran has stepped up to take the leading role after being good friends with Kira for years.

With new talent emerging too the competition for a place in the national team has been more fierce then ever before with so many young talents seeking for a place within that glorious team.
Our team has a large group of players but still alot of them will never make their debut, for those chosen now either starts a new cycle of international football or perhaps its the beginning of their journey as international.

Tactical Set-Up

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

Left Corner Taker: Lina Hansen
Right Corner Taker: Lina Hansen
Penalties: Elizabeth Phillips
Direct FK Taker: Elizabeth Phillips
Indirect FK Taker: Layla Raharinaivo
Most likely to foul/be booked: Eva Weber
Most likely to shoot: Paula Nuñez
Most likely to score from close-range: Paula Nuñez
Most likely to score from long-range: Elizabeth Phillips
Most likely to be fouled: Elizabeth Phillips
Most likely to attempt the spectacular: Paula Nuñez

Star players

Image

Lina Hansen
Lina Hansen has already proved herself to be a stable player within the starting 11 of our national team but she is starting to really become a key player for the Starsian National team.
With a very young debut match a few years ago due to the lack of good players on her position she was given the chance to prove herself and prove she did as she has been valuable to the offense in many situations, shes young a very creative player and also knows how to work together with her fellow midfielders.
Lina is also very good things like corners and free kicks being the corner taker for the team, she is quick and is good at moving the ball between the offensive and defensive lines.
With her experience growing she is becoming a strong force in the team, her only potential weak spot is that she is a pretty small person and as such is likely to lose aerial duels with her opponents but she compensates this with her ability to be fast and think quickly in pressure situations.

Image

Federico Zaratti
One of the very few players on the defense with long years of experience, Federico is the son of Gianna Zaratti who also played for our team and was a very good midfielder back in the old days.
Sadly Federico has seen the rise and fall of Starsian football and had to deal with an inexperienced team that has quality but not the right mentality and had to work its way up the ranks and the motivational ladder again.
Federico is a very skillled defender and most likely the best one currently around, his experience is the core of the defense and he is also the team's vice captain leading the defense and sharing his experience with younger defenders.

Image

Paula Nuñez
Paula is a relatively new and unknown name within the international world of soccer but within our borders she in the last season has shown great skill and brought Phoenix with her goals to the league title.
Her strong preformance last season and the fact they reached an IFCF final with Phoenix because of her earned her a place as a starter at merely 22 years old as the veteran Kai Schulz remains inconsistent.
Many fans hope that Paula can become more known to the international audience and that her skill at Phoenix will also be seen here on the field for the national team, the Starsian fans are longing for a consistently good striker.
With her young age she immediately becomes a key player as the main striker and because she at her young age has already achieved things that some others might chase for their entire careers, this international cycle will be her true test and her debut on the international stage and we can only hope that she is ready for the challenge.


Image

Emily Davis

Goalkeeper Emily Davis is the personification of quality goalkeeping, she is calm and steadfast a reliable pillar of support for the entire team and a top class goalkeeper mentored by Calvin Princeton who is currently in his last active season.
Emily as a rookie ended up with Calvin, she was a rough diamond very talented but also very on her toes and tense because she wasn't confident and did not wanna mess up at all costs.
She learned overtime to be calm and confident and now is about the most calm and relaxed person on the team as she plays for Avidia United in the nation of Krytenia with whom she achieved two championships.
Shes by everyone known as the new main goalkeeper for years to come, shes still young and its expected that Emily Davis will play an important role in the development of the team aswell as in supporting her defenders.
Emily in the team is very appreciated, off the field she can be a bit of a goofball at times but she lights up the mood and brings a good atmosphere at all times making her with right one of the star players.

Roster and Staff

Manager: Jean Alexandre Carignan
Preferred formation: 4-4-2
With speed down the wing and finishing talent in the box, the Patriotlandian strategy is to get the ball up the pitch as fast as possible and create from there. They have plenty of playmakers in the midfield to help in transition. The back line prefers to stay back but can still get involved in the play.

The midfield sees the addition of Rosalie Moreau on the right wing after a great performance at the club level. On defense, Hyppolyte Grandhomme and Oliver Tomlin get the nod, replacing Jamie Bromont and Bruno Vaillantcourt.

Kronbia men's national football team



Overview

Football does not have a large fan base and comes in fourth place after basketball, baseball and boxing. Football began to appear on the island at the end of the eighties and continued as a game played in the streets and squares until 1998, when the first football league was established it consists of 5 teams. The number of teams has reached 8 currently. The sport does not find sufficient financial support due to the lack of audience attendance, the lack of sponsors, and the lack of any channels’ interest in broadcasting the matches.

•ST Arima Modest, 26 (Kinnard)

Loyo returns to the World Cup with a team that shares little resemblance from the team it last appeared with in WC 93. The only remaining player from that squad, Matias Sastre, is now nearing retirement. Old striker Cora Takeshi, always a tactical mind, was selected to coach the new team. While many players are still struggling to get by on their domestic club’s pitiful salaries, most agree that they’re feeling better about the national team's chances for long-term success.

The stout goalkeeper Shoji Shou captains the squad.

On defense, Matias Sastre should give the defense additional leadership, while Tone Iami and Robin Atlon focus on pressuring attackers outside of the box.

Fan favorites Alexsander Clasi and Usui Satoru will certainly need to be on top of their game if the team wants to make a strong showing. Clasi is an excellent playmaker, and isn’t showing any signs of slowing down, partnering well with Hakan Duali on the wing. It was only recently that Duali signed with Kinnard from Khanheuser, so the two should retain their excellent chemistry in the midfield.

Curiously, the team from the People’s Republic of Loyo is financed entirely by capitalists. A new generation of ambitious Loyons, in addition to other groups of foreign entrepreneurs, has poured money into the sport, but this investment had strings attached. Without the support of the People’s National Sporting Committee, the team has had to take on several dozen kit sponsors, which plaster the uniforms of the team, a small national hammer and sickle on the association crest overshadowed by the large logos of steelworks, mining firms and tech companies. The administration of the team is held together with a loose alliance between some of the largest football club owners, who are driven by their own entrepreneurial interests.

Perhaps the only man that could be looked at as an organizational leader for football’s destiny in the country is Illusama International Football Club owner Konno Chiasa, a passionate 74-year-old who lived abroad for many years before returning to make his fortune in Sayosona. His connections within Loyo’s growing business environment are all that holds the national team together, so there’s no doubt that he will be as important, if not more important than the “elder of football” in the country, former national team manager Han Tamada, in influencing the future of Loyon football.

Manager: Gregor Courtenay. In his first cycle as national team manager, Courtenay has not been given much freedom to change up the team's tactical style. During his career with Ephesian FC, he was a true believer in their style of all-out attack (in an unconventional stratagem harkening back to the early days of the national team, Ephesian prefer not to use goalkeepers at all, rules notwithstanding). What this means for his ability to work with a national team drawn from all over the country is unclear.

Thanks to Ko-oren for the three-trait summary approach.

Goalkeepers:
1. Blanche Coogan-Bucknell (Sporting Esper) (f) (first tournament: WC96 Q) distant, artistic, classy
12. Tandre Vusin-Jacques (102d Jr.s) (m) (first tournament: WC95 Q) laid-back, lanky, amusing
23. Tinn Jejue (FTC United) (m) (first tournament: WC97 Q) cranky, babbles, hypochondriac
26. Frank Olmsted (Rovers United) (m) (first tournament: WC97 Q) absentminded, fidgety, makes easy plays hard

Defenders:
2. Sohini Dravid (Namiri Independent) (f) (first tournament: WC97 Q) judgmental, contrarian, polyglot
3. Eileen Gainsborough (Rovers United) (f) (first tournament: WC96 Q) patient, a mentor, doesn't rack up many steps
4. Sullivan Brecht (FTC United) (m) (1 goal) (first tournament: WC96 Q) wide-eyed, supportive, calculating
5. Ernst Guthnick-Wolf (Trebuchet Cham) (m) (3 goals) (first tournament: WC94 Q) rapacious, unkempt, streaky
13. Gretchen Lavenza (FTC United) (f) (first tournament: WC97 Q) flirtatious, selfless, injury-prone
14. John McDonald (Trebuchet Cham) (m) (1 goal) (first tournament: WC95 Q) muscular, peevish, plainspoken
15. Lorraine Rouwen-Horn (Ephesian FC) (f) (first tournament: WC95 Q) better lucky than good, assertive, good at comebacks
16. Lobsang Pokhriyal (Namiri Forest) (m) (first tournament: WC98 Q) keen sense of timing, equinamous, don't-rock-the-boat
25. Diana Schell-Cioban (Excelsior Slogda) (f) (first tournament: WC97 Q) fast, good at headers, camera-shy

Midfielders:
6. Beppo Hegesa (FTC United) (m) (6 goals) (first tournament: WC96 Q) anxious, scrappy, condescending
7. Brian Spand-Maunk (Ephesian FC) (m) (10 goals) (first tournament: WC94 Q) multitasker, fidgety, learns from experience
8. Jubilee McGraw (Sporting Esper) (f) (4 goals) (first tournament: WC96 Q) generous, superstitious, forgive-and-forget
9. Nicholas Palmetto (Rovers United) (m) (2 goals) (first tournament: WC96 Q) punctual, speedy, practices hard
10. Harold Carre (Ephesian FC) (m) (4 goals) (first tournament: WC94 Q) showman, iconoclast, insecure
17. Jess McHeran (102d Jr.s) (f) (4 goals) (first tournament: WC95 Q) accommodating, earnest, precise
18. Gabriel Istibar (FTC United) (m) (first tournament: WC97 Q) single-minded, aloof, history-minded
19. Callan Regins-Ybou (Sporting Esper) (m) (first tournament: WC98 Q) potty-mouth, cunning, pet dad
20. Narayan Thorlakson (Namiri Independent) (m) (first tournament: WC98 Q) fastidious, idiosyncratic, musical
21. Chloe Flen-Willis (Ephesian FC) (f) (2 goals) (first tournament: WC97 Q) tall, sociable, rule-bender

Forwards:
11. Stephen Marcus (Ephesian FC) (m) (28 goals) (first tournament: Eagles Cup 15) clever, against-the-run-of-play tactics, prematurely bald [captain]
22. Awidlyon Reed (Keppal Cosmos) (f) (8 goals) (first tournament: WC95 Q): attentive, slight, inscrutable
26. Brunnhilde Lavrans (Ephesian FC) (f) (first tournament: WC98 Q) bruiser, envious, loudmouthed

Numbers 1-11 are the most likely starting eleven, and 24-26 less likely to see playing time unless there are injuries, but do whatever.

Home stadiums: see here for more information about these venues.
MD2 vs. The Holy Empire: ZS^3, Zwischen

Colors: White with black stripes. Or black with white stripes. We go for the basics.

Zwangzug officially have no nickname, but are increasingly likely to respond to "Zebras" from other teams' fans (this is the official name of their baseball national team).

If RPing first, please feel free to name goalscorers, injure, and distribute cards to my players at will! You can also godmod events, though I'd appreciate advance warning if you want to take narrative liberties that I couldn't just as easily do to your team (due to being, e.g., a mostly-MT, mostly-human country). Put another way, metaphorical "godmodding" is welcome if clever, but I'd avoid the literal sense. Also, do not cause lasting harm in my country and/or to my citizens without contacting me first.

The Valentian International Football Association – What's better than 97? 98.

Image

Once more into the fray as the Valentians prepare for World Cup 98! This time, however, Alanis Star will not be making it into the fray, which is a little bit of a shame. Still, it’s completely understandable due to scheduling conflicts, something that even Eveline wasn’t able to get done without much of a repercussions or paradoxes. Anyway, we are here once again, and well, what else to say other than – hey – let’s try our best at getting out of the quails once again! It’s just seems like something that we still cannot punch out of – to be able to get out of the qualifications. Either that, or we could win one match or two only to be utterly annihilated in the knockouts. Still, I believe in them!

In lieu of the upcoming World Cup 98 Qualifiers, the Football Association of Doubeia has announced the team pools for the Men's and Women's National Teams that will be participating in the competition under the Doubeinese flag.

OOC: Big ups to Libertad Sportswear and Sangti for designing these amazing kits!

Doubeinese Men's National Team
Team Information
  • Nicknames: The Indigo Army
  • Team colours: Purple, indigo, gray
  • Manager: Will Petrov (50)
  • Employed Formation: 4-2-4/4-4-2
  • Trigramme: DOU
  • Style Mod: +3.24
The more successful national team, the MNT has shown incredible promise with their results under the helm of Will Petrov. Their relatively successful WCQ97 camqaign made up for a somewhat disappointing CE38 showing, and hope is abound for this group of players to propel Doubeia to greater footballing heights. Despite their lack of official matches in the meanwhile, several friendlies with other, stronger teams have shown that they are a force to be reckoned with.

Doubeinese Women's National Team
Team Information
  • Nicknames: The Indigo Army
  • Team colours: Purple, indigo, gray
  • Manager: Dani Giuseppa
  • Employed Formation: 4-1-3-2
  • Trigramme: DOU
  • Style Mod: -1
Often considered the weak link, the WNT have had a tumultuous time in their official matches so far. Their outings under former manager Yuni Markova were less than impressive according to Doubeinese fans, and early exits in the CoH89 and CE39 have undermined the public's confidence in the team. However, with the arrival of a new manager and the ever-blooming proliferation of Doubeinese football, fans have become cautiously optimistic of a renaissance for the WNT.

Tactics
Men NT
Petrov is expected to field a aggressive attacking team with the flexibility to switch to more defensive setups.

With 4-2-4 formation, the team makes use of the wide areas of the field to initiate counterattacks along the flanks, especially when the opponent has a less populated backline. The fullbacks are key in this formation: they not only have to provide cover along the width of the field, but they also have to link up play from the back towards the midfield or wingers. During a buildup, the two defensive midfielders will tend to drop back to invite pressure from the opponents away from their goal. Wingers will roam around the middle of the field, making themselves open for a long pass. Usually, one of the forwards acts as a false nine, moving deep into the field to receive the ball and passing it to the more advanced forward.

This takes advantage of teams with a high press as this gives ample space for the front 4 to launch an attack on the opposing goal. If the opponents defend deep, the two fullbacks will advance to the midfield to aid in attacking and penetrating the opponent defense. The wingers will then more to even more advanced positions.

A weakness of this setup is the defensive vulnerability, especially when the fullbacks advance further up the field. This opens the defense to counterattacks. Usually, one of the midfielders will drop back to aid the defense, but if the opponents are constantly a threat on goal, both fullbacks and midfielders will fall back and protect the goal.

Women NT
Much like her predecessor, Giuseppa employs a defensive line-up with a focus on a low block and build-up play. The field is more or less covered, although there are gaps in the middle of the field with the lack of central midfielders in the system. Giuseppa employs a sturdier backline, and the fullbacks are expected to assist more in defense than offense.

The only CDM is expected to act as a fifth defender, so don't expect to see them going forward. Meanwhile, the CAM acts as a link between the defense and attack, although their role may be overwhelmed by the fact they are the only offensive player in the midfield. The left and right wingers are meant to cover the flanks from the middle to the opponent's third, but they hardly will overlap into the center.

The two forwards can be played in several different ways. A striker pairing is expected, although it wouldn't be a surprise to see one of them drop into the midfield to assist the CAM.

Notable Players
Mason Yuryev
Yuryev had his breakthrough season for Fajar Victoria as the team propelled to second place in the 712/13 Doubeinese 1.League season. A sturdy defender, he has a very keen eye and is a commanding presence in defense. You can never catch him slacking — he is always doing something to help his team and weaken the opposition. Oh, and he has also never been booked in his career, even during his youth.

Ryker Travkin
A stalwart of the MMT, Travkin has shown time and time again why he deserves to be known as one of Doubeia’s greats. He has everything you need in a winger: explosive pace, stellar control, pinpoint passing. His vision helps him see passes not even his teammates would, and it’s safe to say that when Travkin is on the pitch, the right back is in for hell.

Ambrose Demidov
After an initially disappointing career, Demidov has really clawed back his claiming rights to the title of Best Doubeinese Striker. The top scorer of the 712/13 1.League season, he’s a menace in front of goal. He is incredibly adept with both legs, and the power from his shots is enough to power an entire power plant. Don’t be surprised to see him on the scoresheet every time he plays.

Olivia Leonova
Leonova might stand at an average 1.83 metres, but what she lacks in height, she makes up for it with her agility. She has the seemingly magical ability to avoid balls from leaking into her goal, and her leg muscles have grown and hardened from all the acrobatic jumping she does sometimes. Don’t expect her to be a sweeper keeper though; between the posts is where she does best.

Raven Pishchalnikova
The right winger position in the WNT is packed with talent, and Pishchalnikova might just be the best out of the lot. At just the age of 20 she has already solidified herself as the Doubeinese youngster to watch. Much like Travkin, her passing is what elevated her to another level. Short passes or crosses, her distribution is perfect. Her pace might not be the fastest, but when you have robot-like accuracy, it is a needed nerf.

Summer Semerikova
Is Semerikova a female Demidov, or is Demidov a male Semerikova? Whatever your opinion is, you can’t doubt that Semerikova has her hands on the “Best Doubeinese Striker” trophy. A prolific goalscorer, Semerikova is a great manipulator of empty space. She constantly makes herself available for the ball, and perhaps that’s the secret to scoring many goals: possession. If you think her shots might not be strong, just look at her curl the ball from range.

Stadia
Stade de Pruxxé, Pruxxé, Karnerkarnen, Doubeia
Capacity: 87,154 seats

Harriott Loft, Ethelfled, Russeland, Doubeia
Capacity: 61,050 seats

Note: Both stadii will be used for home games and will alternate every home matchday. The first home match will be played at Stade de Pruxxé.

Fan Culture
Despite Doubeia's recent independence, national cameraderie is strong, especially amongst Doubeinese supporters. Fans tend to try to intimidate the opponents and their supporters using fan chants and instruments such as drums, horns and gongs. There is a subset of supporters called the Rockers who usually perform in front of the fans before a game. The Rockers use electric guitars, drum sets and violins to hype up the Doubeinese supporters.

Tifos resembling the Doubeinese flag or one of the players are occasionally put up.

Doubeinese fans usually make a loud ruckus outside the stadium before and after matches. Bars nearby the stadium tend to fill up pretty quickly while fans parade along the boulevard leading to the stadium. After losses, Doubeinese fans tend to be more riled up and can get violent especially in response to mockery from the opposing supporters.

Notices
  • The Men's and Women's National Team alternate every matchday. The Men's NT will kick off on matchday 1.
  • I will usually post the lineup for the upcoming matchday at the bottom of my RP post. If I didn't feel free to pick whoever you like.

I would prefer you choose these scorers: Choose anyone you want
Godmod scoring events: Contact me first.
RP injuries to my players: Yes for light injuries. Contact me for severe ones.

Summary
Kelssek's tactical culture is fluid and direct, generally favouring technical and versatile players. Within each positional group, players are listed in order of the likelihood they will play.

Jenas Maraipu GK, Kirkenes FC, b. Outineau, BL (age 31) - 46 caps | A product of the Association Ariddienne youth program. Pounces and catches balls with catlike technique.
Megan Woodwell GK, Burnaby SC (age 29) - 17 caps | Commanding keeper who puts the fear of Satan into her defence - in the sense of they're going to catch hell if they don't listen to her.
Max Carrieri GK, CF Outineau, b. Outineau (age 26) - 2 caps | The future of the number 1 shirt? He's definitely stamped his claim to the Outineau shirt with his Champions League winning form.
Alison Troczynski GK, Latrobe Athletic, b. Latrobe (age 27) - 10 caps | Jack of all goalkeeping skills, master of some. Affable but also odd in the way goalkeepers can tend to be.

Alain-Elric Sauvé LB, CF Outineau, b. Outineau, Bea. (age 26) - 22 caps | Aggressive interceptor of the ball and incisive on the overlap
Ella Bastien LB, Baskita [PAS], b. Elmira, Kon. (age 27) - 8 caps, 1 goal | A late bloomer who went off to Xanneria when unable to make headway in Kelssek, and has now found a groove in Pasarga.
Sandrine Lalande CB, Tihon [CMT] b. Saint-Richard, BL (age 24) - 6 caps, 1 goal | Tough tackler able to pinpoint a long ball through the lines, the next big thing in centre-backs.
Iain Vergland CB, Sivolvia Central, b. Burnaby (age 27) - 0 caps | Wasn't good enough for Burnaby SC, and now with an IFCF Champions League medal he sure showed them.
Bleke Durocher CB, Kirkenes FC (age 27) - 12 caps | Was in Kelssek Championship team of the year so quite good apparently.
Lourence Hupe CB, CF Outineau (age 23) - 5 caps | Elite positioning means she doesn't often have to put in one of her precise tackles.
Tobert Usher RB, CF Outineau, b. Outineau, Bea. (age 27) - 52 caps, 3 goals | Has got a wicked cross on him and loves an underlap. Captained Outineau to a league title and Champions League win.
Eilwen Loew RB/LB, Guard FC [DAR], b. Burnaby, Kon. (age 28) - 33 caps | Speedy, high work-rate, binge-watches reality TV shows.
Jérôme Nyhof RB, Eyrods [CMT], b. Langlois, Bea. (age 21) - 8 caps | Elite dribbling, skills, and athleticism with a penchant for reckless tackles.

James Jouppi LB, Shearwater, b. Coquitlam, Kon. (age 22) - 7 caps | Talented, inconsistent, exciting
Sorcha Cleeves RB, Océanic Langlois, b. Kirkenes, NC (age 24) - 5 caps, 1 goal | Overlooked by the clubs in her home republic, burst onto the scene when she seized a spot in Océanic's Championship-winning side through sheer speed and chance-creating ability from out wide.


Titan Pogbacar CM, Burnaby SC, b. Burnaby, Kon. (age 22) - 42 caps, 6 goals | Physically imposing and technically impressive. Ball-progressing wonderkid who can really get on his bike.
Kaiden Pépin CM/AM [captain], Kirkenes FC, b. Saint-Richard (age 30) - 51 caps, 3 goals | Calming presence in the midfield who always knows how to control the pace.
Agapeto Licea CM/DM, Burnaby SC, b. Mineru, Kon. (age 24) - 30 caps, 1 goal | Another talent from Burnaby's Rising Stars Cup runners-up, who's become a strangely chaotic yet firm defensively-minded midfielder.
Errol Lìos CM/AM, Soldarian [VAL], (age 27) - 15 caps, 1 goal | Box-to-box midfielder who always seems to put himself into the thick of it.
Terence de Landa AM, Océanic CF, b. Burnaby, Kon. (age 30) - 54 caps, 3 goals | Dynamic, gangly playmaker at his best carrying the ball forward.
Chike Obident RW/AM, CF Outineau, b. Latrobe (age 26) - 36 caps, 7 goals | High-skill spark plug of a player who's already proven offensive producer at multiple clubs.
Ella Moore LM, Raynor City United [KSK], b. Beaupré-sur-Mer, BL (age 30) - 3 caps, 1 goal | You can't just pay attention to players because they got signed by RCU...
Julius Heer LW, Schemerdrecht SVV [KOR], b. Bramleigh, NC (age 32) - 72 caps, 9 goals | 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.
Sammy Mao RW/CF, Shearwater, b. Breton, Ha. (age 23) - 20 caps, 4 goals | Explosive pace and a creative force.
Rory Joseph RM/RW, Burnaby SC, b. Kingstown, Kon. (age 31) - 58 caps, 6 goals | Very rapid. Much creative. Hair product endorser.

Emre Massinen AM/CF, Clayquot City, b. Clayquot (age 24) - 12 caps, 2 goals | Has two killer moves: the pivot-and-shoot, and a nose for link-up play. Otherwise highly average.
Logane Nordet DM, CF Outineau, b. Outineau (age 26) - 9 caps | Being the rock of a team that wins the Champions League is one way to get the national team's attention.
Alberto Rendon CM/AM, Anomalies [CMT], b. Kirkenes (age 28) - 4 caps, 1 goal | Farfadillis dual national.
Alejandra Younes DM/CM, SK Franz Josef City [STL], b. Mistgwyn, NC (age 31) - 18 caps | Dogged midfield anchor. Determined but also impulsive and easily wound-up.


Lionel an Deòir ST, FK Metropola Borograd [STL] b. Torbay (age 27) - 60 caps, 34 goals | Pacey and has an inadvisedly powerful shot. Prolific but scores in bunches - or maybe that's a nice way of saying "inconsistent".
Zoé Goh-Lemaire ST, 1923 Esca [MYT], b. Kirkenes (age 30) - 45 caps, 12 goals | Playmaking forward with great link up play and a sense for gobbling up rebounds.
Rolando Cutter CF/LW, Olympia Borograd [STL], b. Kingstown, Kon. (age 20) - 17 caps, 3 goals | Allegedly the next Colm Ó Tuathail. Great technical player with a tendency to drift wide.
Rémy Niemi ST, CF Outineau, b. Outineau, Bea. (age 21) - 13 caps, 8 goals | Adept at playing the target-man or poacher role. Excitable personality.
Ariana Coulter ST, Latrobe Athletic, b. Kildera (age 25) - 3 caps, 2 goals | Quick trickster who likes to go for the spectacular.

Head coach: Obey Chidiebere [BNJ], age 53 | Hired away from Latrobe Athletic, where he won one league title and three Patriotes Cups, he previously played for Herzegovina City and Coquitlam United.

Honours: Cup of Harmony 43 champions, 2-time Ad'ihan Challenge Trophy winners
Direct free-kicks: Rory Joseph, Julius Heer
Corners: Chike Obident, Julius Heer, Nacuémiró Buené
Penalties: Lionel an Deòir

Stadiums - Rotates between three stadiums.
Exhibition Place, Kirkenes (cap. 38,600) - if you RP first and are not fussed to pick, use this one
Bowreach, Vickery (cap. 39,000) - Home of Strathcona Internationals. At high altitude and in a climate that alternates between freezing winters and scorching summers.
Macquarie Docklands, Latrobe (cap. 55,000)

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

RP permissions
Choose my scorers: Yes
Choose my scoring events: Yes
Cards to my players: Yes
Godmod events: No
In general, anything that can realistically happen (even if improbable) is fair game. Stuff that violates footballing reality is not ok (usually) and may be ignored. If you're in doubt, or think your idea is funny enough, ask me.
RP injuries to my players: Yes but I will determine severity
Style mod: +1

Kamijiroan National Team Roster for World Cup 98

The current Kamijiroan Civil War means that the roster for this cycle is almost entirely made up of Miraisaki and Rakumachi natives and is much smaller than normal. The lone exception are players from Jirō Island, which has maintained neutrality throughout the conflict. The upshot is that unlike previous eras, there won't be many miscommunication problems due to language barriers. Without further ado, the roster. The numbers given are the kit numbers and players are listed in order of depth. Furthermore, players of Japanese descent have the kanji for their names listed, and family names (or last names) are first in both the Kanji and Romaji form, keeping with the traditional Japanese naming convention.

Goalkeepers:
1. 明日海 賢一 「Asumi Kenichi」- Quick reflexes and reaction saves are his calling card, but his ball distribution upfield needs some work.
99. 板倉 貝 「Itakura Kai」- Bit of a wildcard. Kitamura Genichi is currently rehabbing an injury and declined his callup.

Center-backs:
2. 村井 亮 「Murai Ryō」- Received his first call-up during the WC97 campaign and started every match. Pretty solid, doesn't screw around with the ball.
3. 赤見内 秋成 「Akaminai Akinari」- Brother of the (in)famous mobster Akaminai Atsuji, he is very much a product of street brawls and isn't afraid to rough up opponents, especially if they're the chatty type.
16. Fiti Multiauaopele - Jirō Island native and self-proclaimed 'big chiller.' Noted for his lack of reaction to seemingly anything, the precise opposite to Akinari.
29. Levi Faamate - Another Jirō Island native. Played okay in the last campaign but his inability to pass out of the back hindered much of the team's ability to counter a press.

Fullbacks (or Wing-backs):
19. 亀田 翔士 「Kameda Tōshi」- Solid as they come, doesn't excel in any one department but is pretty well-rounded.
44. 小串 東 「Kogushi Azuma」- Smaller than normal for a player with defensive responsibilities, his deep crossing ability is second to none and he can pick out a long-ball to switch the play with ease.
45. Alexander Sideris - Refugee of war, living on Jirō Island and playing semi-pro alongside his work as a computer programmer, he's here as emergency coverage for either one of Tōshi or Azuma.

Central Midfielders:
7. 藤原 勝 「Fujiwara Katsu」- The superstar of the team, even when the whole of the country combined for the player pool. He leads the team in goal contributions over the past couple campaigns.
8. 出水 才一 「Demizu Saiichi」- High-motor ball-winning midfielder. He's best at tracking back and sliding in to win the ball. Tends to pick up yellows because of this.
10. 金園 健人 「Kanazono Kento」- Formerly known as Kanazono Kaneto, he opted to officially change his name to his nickname. A proper number 10, plays 'joga bonito.' Ball glued to his feet.
17. 霧島 恭司 「Kirishima Kyōji」- Solid as a rock, more of a defensive midfielder than a pure central one. He's usually the first sub on to replace Saiichi after around 60-70 minutes.
20. 我孫子 浩 「Abiko Hiroshi」- Another all-rounder, but definitely more offensively talented than defensively. Usually focuses on through balls, but that can tend to lead to turnovers.
23. 望月 雄輝 「Mochizuki Yūki」- Emergency back-up. Semi-pro player, much like Alexander Sideris. Hopefully won't need much game time.

Attackers:
9. 国分 総司 「Kokubun Sōji」- Pacy striker and best friend of Katsu. He's the favorite of the manager, as well. Wind-up merchant.
14. 香川 春香 「Kagawa Haruka」- Only capped woman on the team and significant other of Katsu. Lead Miraisaki City in goals prior to the outbreak of the civil war which paused the KPL season.
22. Desi Delfino - Uncapped, emergency back-up. Initially worked with the team in a front office role before being asked to play due to a combination of age and need. Played in school but hasn't played in a couple of years.
24. C.J. Stillhart - Another emergency back-up, although he's more recently played. Not in great shape, if he needs to be used the team's in enough trouble anyway.

Management:
This is the final run for 香川 雷次 「Kagawa Raiji」if things don't change. After throwing away Kamijiro's best chance yet at qualification to the World Cup proper, the team needs his guidance now more than ever. He's shifted tactics from a defense-heavy park the bus style to a more forward-minded play which favors possession and short passing. With a narrow roster and his back against the wall, this is his last chance at a contract extension.
