The Jungle Cat u21's opening match of the 4th u21 WC was set to be an exciting affair. The Jungle Cats had now overachieved in 3 consecutive competitions, Finishing Runners-up in the Previous u21 World Cup, then, Winning the 14th Cup of Harmony, and qualifying for the WC15 Finals.. By qualifying for the WC15 Finals, the Jungle Cats were not entered into the 15th Cup of Harmony to defend their title, so all the focus was on the youthful under-21's. Vilita entered as favorites in the group, even expected to win over Brazillico, the only team that defeated the Jungle cats on their run to the final in the last u21 WorlD Cup.

The match started out an exciting affair, with both sides going close early. Jaloey Afrikka, the Jlinal Cove FC starlet making his first ever start in a Jungle Cat uniform, collected a short goal kick from Strike FC's Jimmy Kater, to begin an amazing piece of playmaking by the youthful Vilitans. Afrikka took the ball to half way, where he found the impressive Calaesa Mitaroka, straying from his usual Left-sided position for Stellar Division champs Yeaddin Owls, to control the middle for the u21 nationals. Mitaroka strolled through the center, easily bypassingGait, who was his only opposition with the ambitious Alpine-Vociferous already well behind the play. Then, a charging Serge DuPont caught the eye of Mitaroka, who slipped the ball just out of Fearinciter's reach. DuPont connected gloriously with Mitaroka's set-up, but groaned to see his effort crash so loudly off the bar, that play had to take a breather on the next out for the grounds crew to ensure it hadnt been cracked.

Minutes later, Mitaroka himself would spurn a golden opportunity, firing over with only the Cockbill Street keeper Jonathon Havell to beat. Havell was put into action soon after after DuPont connected with an Umberto Melli freekick, but saved well to keep the scores level. Tanner Nerni's inexperience almost cost the Jungle Cats u21 side when Graham Rogers, who out worked the Cednia Beach AFC Prospect only to see Kater save well from Stonelovers poke shot.

A Second half streaker unsettled the game, and most notably the Jungle Cat defense, still easily embarrassed trying to impress the ladies at the pub after the game, the streaker began dancing circles around defenders Jaloey Afrikka and Esemar Aliana. Afrikka looked distinctly unsettled from the experience, and had to be comforted by team elder Umberto Melli before play resumed. However, the 21-year old Melli could not do enough to re-settle the exciting Jlinal Cove defender, as he found him self on the wrong end of the scoresheet 20 minutes from time, redirecting a James Gruddinge shot out of Kater's reach and putting the Streeters 1-0 up.

Despite the introduction of new Cednia Beach signing Carmine Mbidzo, and Jan Christiansen, the replacement for the departing German Salomon at Stellar Division champions Yeaddin Owls, the Jungle Cats u21 side were unable to break through the Cockbill Street forcefield, and left with it all to do in the u21 World Cup.

Never having participated in organized sports before the people of Bluesonia held a nationwide “American Idolesque” Showdown of the Soccer Stars with the top vote getters at each position getting the starting nod and the runners up getting bench time. All of these men are eagerly awaiting the ability to represent their country on a grand scale.

Bluesonia Deltamen
Coach: Son House Assistants: “Mississippi” John Hurt, and Robert Johnson

Roster (starters in bold)
GOALKEEPERS
24 McKinley Morganfield (Stoval): Morganfield (26) had the best showing in net of all the soccer stars, but his landslide victory isn’t necessarily due to his talent alone, for weeks all any junior high girl could talk about was how “dreamy” he was.
1 Alphonse Jones (Delta Town): A bit older at 38 he surprised the viewing audience wi surprising agility and quickness for an old feller.

DEFENDERS
44 Johnny Winters (Chicago): Quick, thin and pale is how many describe Winters, at 21 he has boundless energy and an eagerness to learn the game that set him apart from everyone else in the contest.
62 Son Seals (Memphis): Seals (22) held his ground remarkably well in all the staged events and proved to have the mind, and leg strength, to get himself out of some sticky situations.
74 “Blind Lemon” McGee (Jackson): McGee (18) earned the nickname Blind Lemon on his father’s farm in Jackson where from some reason they always said, “man, that boy is faster than a blind lemon” Pure speed but very little know how, his quickness can get him out of trouble but he relies on it too much sometimes getting way out of position.
16 Memphis Slim (Jackson): Slim (27) is a big man without much speed, his size and strength are great assets but when tested against a consistent rush he was prone to exhaustion.
20 Taki Andrianakos (Denver): Born and raised in a Greek family Andrianakos (25) grew up in a soccer culture and is one of the few people on the Deltamen’s squad who has actually played competitively before. However being born into a soccer culture doesn’t Guarantee skill and his poor play was nearly his downfall, but his mind for the game shone through and earned him a bench position.
17 Marcelo Duran (Albuquerque): Another big defender, along the lines of Slim (26) Duran showed little skill in the game but proved to be a great motivator from within the clubhouse which earned him this spot.

MIDFIELDERS
8 “Mississippi” Fred McDowell (Arlington): Fast and fierce best describe McDowell (24) his zeal for competition is only overshadowed by his great, albeit raw, talent.
35 Nick Moss (Chicago): Moss (29) showed great ability and a good head for the game, he is one of only two Deltamen starters to have played the game competitively.
66 John Lee Hooker (Tupelo): Team Capitan The highest vote getter amongst all the contestants at any position, Hooker (31) was once a huge star in a country that only accepted him because of his athletic prowess, he spent many years in denial about this until everything boiling around him came to a head one fateful night less than a year ago. He has relocated to Bluesonia because he says “People are allowed to be blue here.” And vows never to speak of the fateful night again.
85 Eric Clapton (Oxford): Clapton (40) is the eldest member of the team and grew up watching, but never playing, soccer. As a result he has good smarts on field and can often times anticipate an opposing players moves.
13 George Ford (Atlanta): Ford (24) brings youthful exuberance and a willingness to learn every position and aspect of the game.
12 Larry Josef (Lincoln): Josef (25) is an example of why some things shouldn’t be left to the public to decide, his play is simply dreadful and he got through the contest on looks and charm alone.

FORWARDS
77 Nerraw Narrow (Nashville): Narrow (26) is fast and strong, he seemed to pick up the game quickly but often times relies too much oh is athletic talent causing needless turnovers and lost opportunities.
88 Justin Anhorn (Kansas City): Anhorn (23) has the most speed and talent of anyone on the team but he is an inherently selfish player who tries to do everything himself.
19 Joe Kilverson (Pinnatonka): Kilverson (19) is young and seemingly tireless, no one doubts his energy or his will but there are many who doubt his skill and knowledge of the game.

Vilita 0 - 1 Cockbill Street
( -none- ) - ( Afrikka 70.og)

Vilita 4 - 4 Raptor Claw
( Stokks 52, Mitaroka 81, Nerni 88, Sioane 88 ) - ( Raptor 12,29,36p,68)

The Jungle Cat u21's entered their match with Raptor Claw knowing they needed a win to take a realistic chance of qualification into the final matchday against Brazillico. What they did not expect was an inexperienced, but fiesty Raptor Claw side fighting in a seemingly All Out Attack mode against their higher ranked opponents.

Starting with only 3 Defenders on the field, The Raptors were pressing Jimmy Katers goal from the outset, and took just 12 minutes to finally break through. it was not until 25 minutes in that the Jungle Cats u21 would have their first chance on goal, but Mijatos spurned a decent opportunity from 18 yards by powering into the grandstands. The Raptors built well from the ensuing goal kick, and earned 4 consecutive corners, converting the 4th to go 2 goals up on the half hour mark. And it was just 6 minutes later that Vilita found themselves 3 goals down, after the tiring Afrikka brought down a Raptor in the box and conceded the penalty. The event must have been a downer for Afrikka, who had been playing well despite claiming the deciding own goal in the loss to Cockbill Street.

The second half started brighter for Vilita, following a defensive minded substitution, Umberto Mello coming off in favor of utility player Antonis Ratuva of newly promoted Declasse side Jlinal Wanderers making his internationstatal debut. The Jungle Cats got on the scoresheet when Malovar Stokks, recently transferred to Marine Coast United from Declasse Division side Arcticala Inlet, netting his first career u21 goal 7 minutes into the half. His strike was cancelled out 15 minutes, when Raptor Claw regained their 3 goal lead through a well taken free kick. As the match entered the final 10 minutes, Coach Baron O'Toole again showed mastery in substitution, controlling an attacking switch by replacing the overworked Afrikka with Attacking Midfield Musa Nikiema of Lower-League side Jaguar Moreda, and calling to the experience of Yeaddin Owls frontman Jan Christiansen. Nikiema, also in his internationstatal debut, would make an instant impact, Finding Mitaroka on the edge of the box, and the 19 year old would give the Raptor Claw keeper no chance with his superbly placed shot. As time pushed on, the Raptors seemed content to site on their 4-2 advantage, but the Jungle Cats had other ideas.

Aliana's Right Wing cross careemed heavily off one of the Raptors, and powered into Compound Interest Referee Makalawta Nui~E's arm, knocking his watch to the pitch where it was stomped on by at least 3 players in the ensuing fight for the ball. The ball broke to Tanner Nerni who had all the time from just 12 yards, and easily slotted home to bring the Jungle Cats within one. The referee, distracted by the scoring of the goal, lost placement of his watch, and began relying on the mega-tron time clock. He recorded the time of the Nerni goal as 88 minutes, as the large scoreboard had indicated. From the ensuing kickoff, the Jungle Cats easily dispossessed the now nervous Raptors, and built up another exciting attack. Minutes later, Sioane was able to find space and completed the Jungle Cat comback. To his dismay, Nui~E looked up to see the time on the scoreboard still read 88 minutes, and later learend that the board had said 88 minutes all match long as someone had unplugged it prior to match start, and plugged it back in without re-programming it. It is unknown whether or not the 4th Vilitan goal actually was scored within the 90 minutes, but it is believe that Referee Nui~E mis printed his application and really calls Abysmalistan his home.

DuPont Signs for Strike
QUOTE

Lonngeylin club side Jungle Strike FC of the Vilitan Premier Division have announced the signing of Vilitan National Starlet Serge DuPont. DuPont was previously uncontracted, but discovered playing for his local side, and impressive performances for the u21 side earned him a substitute role on the Senior side during World Cup 15. Many rumors surrounded DuPonts transfer, including moves to NEWI Cefn Druids, Kingsford and Liverpool England. However, DuPont indicated he wished to stay in Vilita, and the appeal of a starting role at Jungle Strike FC has been the determining factor in choosing Strike over Champions Marine Coast United, says DuPont.
