OOC

In 2004 we held our very first football league: the Inter-Europa Football League. Two years later, in 2006, this was continued by the Euro Cup. And now, 12 years later, I want to reboot the idea with a Nations League. We will use the tools and generators already available. To help get this started you can add your team and players. We will also be needing a global headquarters.

[Illyrian Union]

I’m in. Tell me what else my country has to do to achieve sports glory!

[Morheim]

Morheim has a fine semi-professional football league but I'm happy being the Faroe Isles of the UENA if possible.

[Iverica]

Yay, balls!

[Sunset Sea Islands]

I'm in!

[Variota]

Done a sports RP or two back in the days of other nations so sign me up

[Orioni]

One more and we have 8 nations competing. That would be enough for a very small bracket.

Feel free to update your applications and include a team name, kit, etc.

Since no-one is offering to host, I'll take this up myself.

[Mauridiviah]

Count me in m8s.

[Prymont]

I mustn't have commented before when I read the thread, but I'm happy to be part of it.

4. Gallambria
5. Iverica
6. Sunset Sea Islands
7. Variota

Now we just need 6 more names and we're set for a 16-player game.

• First round of 16, with 4 groups of 4 nations
• Second round with brackets

As far as rules and regulations go, I'm going to have at look at NS and elsewhere and devise a system.

[Variota]

Het Huisselant Variota
National Football Team

The Golden Privateers
Het Gaut'n Freikaapers

 

Introduction
Yes! The best football team of Alharu has returned to the international football scene! Het Gaut'n Freikaapers' new squad is sure to impress with a mix of new and more experienced players. While the average age of the main squad remains on the younger side, the reserves are filled with experienced players that have seen their fair share of international matches. Who can forget the 2002 match against the Prymontian National Team where Hans fan'et Wolf, then a young inexperienced wildcard of a goalkeeper, kept out all eight Prymontian shots on target for the entire second half and ensured a 2-1 victory for Het Huisselant? The same man, now a grizzled veteran of the football fields, is now playing his last international tournament before fully retiring at the ripe age of 34.

Yes! We have some of the best coaches and support staff. Drawing from the massive pool of domestic talent, we have managed to find none-other than the 1980's wonderboy of Variotan football: Ronnie Ronthuissen. The star striker of teams such as FK Ranjekaat, GSF Grootwaterflakte and Sporting Finfishafen in the late 80s has returned from his football retirement and 'job' as a self-proclaimed Whine celebrity to take charge and sort the team out. Under his training regiment and leadership, aided by assistant coaches Rikkert Tuureterp and Ivan 'Vanny' Paalenmaaker-Aleksandrov, Ronthuissen has done his best to shape up the team into one that can bring home the UENA World Cup victory. In addition to regular doctors, the minds and souls of the players are supported through an omni-trained chaplain, the blessing of Gillofan V of the Variotan Christian Church and two alternative healthcare provides skilled in things such as aromatherapy, acupuncture, chakra realignment, chi harnessing and tarot card drawings.

Yes! We have some of the best players! Playing a defensive 4-4-2 position, the Golden Privateers will attempt to keep the more aggressively playing opponents from scoring while tiring them out in the long run. Starting Strikers Johan 'Bolle Jo' fan Branttorp and Ibrahim 'WooWoo' Wu will give the squad the attacking power it will need to consistently score goals. Bolle Jo has seen a good year at FK Orgaan Hotels Ferrefaaierhafen with the player growing more and more into his role as the sniper of the team, working in the long shots with accuracy and power while somewhat lacking in endurance. Wu, or WooWoo as the local supporters call him, is the first pure-blooded Fulgistani player to get selected for the main squad. His recent move from Foetbal Finfishafen to FK Ranjekaat saw him struggling to integrate in an area with far less Fulgistani citizens. Luckily for the Golden Privateers, he has managed to recover in time to join us in the UENA World Cup. Where Bolle Jo lacks endurance and likes to work in the long shots, WooWoo uses his speed and endurance to close the gap to the goal as a way to compensate for relatively low shot strength and average accuracy.

Yes! The goal is on lock. Koen Dekkerburg from Ghestelikke Foetbal Klub Kattetraalstatt (GFKK) is the starting goalkeeper and the legendary Hans fan'et Wolf remains on scene to keep the goal on lock as our reserve goalkeeper. GFKK managed to get promoted to the Foorste Foetbalkompetitie for a large part on the efforts of Dekkerburg, enabling secure conditions for their mediocre attackers and ensuring that they could take risks. While Hans fan'et Wolf is no longer playing in the highest divisions, he remains a starter for the semi-professional club Limbo Lorrevelt which plays in the Varinco Kompetitie. The man has shown to be in good condition and although his age may reduce his amount of endurance, he is seen as a solid reserve as he is able to draw from a wealth of experience.
