Az-cz press conference with Noz-Tf.

Az-cz reporter 1: Why did you choose to let coaches Khim and Hawdon coach the AOCAF?

Noz-Tf: Last time we changed coaches because the AOCAF and Cup of Harmony were concurrent. But with that not being the case now I don't see any reason for them not to coach.

Az-cz reporter 2: Do you think they should have put more young players on the side?

Noz-Tf: I don't really want to get into specifics about the roster, but we are pretty young to begin with, so I don't have any real concerns, no.

Az-cz reporter 3: What are your goals for this tournament?

Noz-Tf: Well of course we'd like to win but our more realistic goal is the knockout rounds. We have to remember that this is Atlantian Oceania. More than half of these teams were in the world cup proper and a number of them have great sides, but choose to only compete regionally. This is by far the toughest region in the world.

Az-cz reporter 4: What about kits?

Noz-Tf: Same as always.

Youth And Experience As Usual
Starblaydia looking to meet expectations


They're still by far and away the best team that is sent to the regional competition - Starblaydia's AOCAF side contains, almost exclusively, over-thirties and under-twenties. This mix of Starblaydi youth and experience is something every AOCAF save the inaugural tournament has seen. Even way back in AOCAF2, where Starblaydia's front line consisted of Guylain N'Dumbu-Nsungu (35), Christian Kabeya-Mbaya (31) and Steve Owens (32), there was a succession of young players like Ceri Salisbury (21), Vladimir Tsarev (18) and Simon Hill (19).

Now Starblaydia's over-thirties have something to shout about, with AOCAF and World Cup championships to their name. Starblaydia's highest-ever goalscorer is looking to add to her tally, too, the thirty year-old Jackie Maitland hoping for a sixtieth goal in her international career, being on the record total of fifty-four so far. From sixty-one caps, that's an incredible goals-to-games ratio. At the other end of the scale, Betanii Marrones will make her senior début at the age of eighteen in central defence alongside Herge Costa, a man who won the World Cup itself as a nineteen year-old substitute defender.

Look also for débutantes Jiino Graikalonii , twenty, in goal and a whole host of players twenty years of age and under as they come on as substitutes to make their first international bows. Graikalonii is already touted as the future of Starblaydi 'keeping, and even at the tender age of twenty is already the number-one at his club side, FC Farça. Another man making his first ever appearance, this time in a suit in the technical area, is Marrko Rakkinen, a former Starblaydi full-back turned coach and manager. Markko was never afraid of a challenge in his playing days and with this appointment, and this squad, he's obviously not changed since he retired from kicking balls for a living. Now he'll be yelling at others telling them how to a kick those balls, and woe betide anyone who doesn't listen to this former World Champion.

Whatever happens with Starblaydia's group in the official draw later this evening, they'll certainly be looking for the Semi-Finals at least, if not a record-breaking sixth regional title. Watch out Atlantian Oceania.

X-Treme Delesa Sports News

Rick Fox: "Ladies and Gentlemen, today we have good news, and several special guest. The big news? The national Delesa team will be competing in there first regional competition. In this one region, many of the teams are top 10 contenders in the world cup play here. Delesa United is in for a hard time, but the Manager Paul Lejeune, is here as well as Head Coach Liam O'Rielly and new Asst. Coach Cahan Fionn who joined the Delesa team last year, are here to tell us the game plan. Hello guys."

Paul Lejeune: "Morning."

Liam O'Rielly: " 'Ello"

Cahan Fionn: "Hi."

Rick Fox: "So whats the plan?"

Liam O'Rielly: "Well we have cranked up personal training in the gym, as well as time on the field one on one with the ball. We reallyu focused on the single game. But in the past month the team has started to do drills more focused on team work, it has really worked. Drills are really amazing to watch, players have really put that seconf effort in. I think the team has played enough times together that they are comfortable playing with each other. We have had reasonable victories."

Paul Lejeune: "We have also told the players there will be... bonuses. *chuckles* Yeah but that those come with victories."

Cahan Fionn: "But we try not to let that be the encourager in this well greased machine. In my year working with the team, the players had improved as single playes, which makes their team work stronger, as they learn without each other, they fall or fail. Like the national motto states."

Rick Fox: "So who durring practice has really shown leadership?"

Liam O'Rielly: "Clare for sure. I would have to say he is the back bone of the team as well as the other older players like McShane, Fernando and Olivier."

Cahan Fionn: "Also Topper has shown great leadership. But thats not really what the team needs, almost every player is a possible great leader, which means if one player like McShane has a bad game, or any of the older players, guys like Tison and even Keogh are willing to take the step up, and help out the team."

Rick Fox: "So whats the goal to start of the new tradition?"

Paul Lejeune: "Umm... well i really want the national club to get known as a top fighter. I am hoping for victories against top teams, even if we dont come close i want to win some hard games, and let the other nations of the region know that Delesa in ever aspect isnt a push over. We have major suport from the population. Even the government has funded some aspects of the team, like new shoes for the entire team. And several Delesa companies like the West Delesa Trading Co. has donated several thousand kredits, that has allowed the team to purchase a team plane, complete with small rooms onboard for each member. As well as new merchandise, coming out after the opening cerimonies in every corner store. Half the funds will go to the team, and the other half to the St.Myhre Children's Hospital Charity. So people go out and buy the team's stuff."

Rick Fox: "Yes and im and holding out the new Delesa United teams new football, just wonderful, signed by every team member, am I correct?"

Liam O'Rielly: "Yes ye are Mr. Fox."

Rick Fox: "And I have some notes here saying the team will be at the St. Myhre City Hall to sign autographs two days before they leave."

Cahan Fionn: "Yes we will all be there. Its will be great fun, we have several popular bands and hot dogs and other such goodies. Kind of like a Good Bye and Good Luck party."

Rick Fox: "Well I hope to see you there! Good bye and good luck you guys."

Paul Lejeune: "Thank you and see you later."

Rick Fox: "Well you saw it here everyone, now everyone cheer your team on and go team the heros at the City Hall in St. Myhre. Go United go!"

Hawks out for revenge in AOCAF 17

With the devastating 1-4 loss to the combined Vilita/Turori team in the AOCAF 16 finals in Lamoni; the Hawks will be even hungrier for the AOCAF cup this time around.

AOCAF 16 forwards Christian Ludlow (Captain of the team), and Guy Tomes will be returning to the AOCAF to provide veteran leadership for the squad, which features the best Forwards that Lamoni has to offer, as well as expert defense and goalkeepers. The team will be managed by Kevin Riyall, who is making his second appearance at this position; after leading the Hawks to a second place finish last time around.

The group draws have yet to be made, but we can be sure that the Hawks will be ready to face whoever, whenever.

There is another aspect to this AOCAF's squad, however. For every goal that the Hawks have in AOCAF 17, one hundred million Rushana's will be donated to the charity of the goalscorer's choice. Manager Riyall instated this new program, as well as autograph sessions in selected Lamonian cities in an effort to inspire people back home to be more generous to charities in their own communities.

Dyrads Ready To Take On Region Again

KRYTENIA - After just barely losing out on the hosting bid for AOCAF XVII, the Myrtannia Dryads have come to Krytenia looking to prove themselves to Atlantian Oceania once again. Four years ago, Myrtannia went to Lamoni ranked 20th in the region, and looking to get some respect as they continued their gradual transformation from doormat to being a competitive side. Rachell Gabino became the head coach after America McNany had to step down due to pregnancy. Gabino instituted a new offense, and the Dryads never looked back.

In one of the most unlikely runs since Fmjphoenix won its solitary AOCAF crown, Myrtannia drew with the combined Vilita/Turori squad that went on to win the whole shebang. After that, Myrtannia dominated its remaining opposition, including two shutouts - something no Myrtannian side had ever done before. They also had another first - they won their group for the first time, beating out Vilita/Turori on a tie breaker. After an extra time win over ASMV, the Dryads finally fell in ET to their perrenial boogeyman - Pacitalia.

Still, finishing 5-1-1 in AOCAF brought new hopes and expectations from the Dryads Army, who feared the regional footballing body wouldn't boost Myrtannia enough to reflect their outstanding play. Those fears were unfounded, as the Dryads popped up eleven slots to #9, entering the top ten for the first time in history. Now, they're out there to prove they're legitimate contenders.

"AOCAF XVI was our coming-out party, but now we've got to prove we belong in the top ten of the best footballing region in the entire NS world," coach Rachell Gabino told the Halosen News-Times, "We've got to build on what we did in Lamoni, and play better defense in knockout matches. First, though, we're going to focus on each opponent, one at a time. Any one side can toss a wrench in our gears if we're not careful."

Dania Figary returns once again to lead the Dryads attack, fresh off of becoming the nation's top scorer in international play. She's simply gotten better as she gets older and matures as a player, providing sorely needed leadership for the Dryads in AOCAF XVI. The highlight of the tournament was her hat trick in extra time that sunk the tenacious ASMV Nyriads. It was the first hat trick by a Myrtannian player since Deeann Massetti did it in AOCAF XIII against Dorian & Sonya.

Added to the 'Strikers Squadron' this time around is rising star Hettie Miyagishima, who figures to simply make the potent offense even stronger. Miyagishima was the driving force of Myrtannia's AOU-21 Football Cup win four years ago.

"As much fun as it was to play for the Nymphs, starting for the Dryads is really every little Myrtannian girl's dream. To someday be out on the pitch in the orange and blue, playing the best in the region. It's a real honor to be given a starting spot this time," Miyagishima stated.

Myrtannia's AOCAF XVII experience will be in Group A, which features three prominent contenders. First off, the group is spearheaded by the tournament hosts, Krytenia, who beat out Myrtannia for hosting duties. On the pitch, this could be a very heated battle, though in their last meeting (AOCAF XVI in Lamoni) the Dryads ultimately triumphed by a final tally of 3-1. Figary scored two and Roz Gabino one as the Dryads downed the higher ranked Krytenians. The men in blue have homefield advantage this time, but the Dryads Army has traveled to Krytenia in record numbers to support their side. Their match could be the big showdown of Group A.

Also in the group are our good friends, AOCAF XVI hosts, and two-time runner-up Lamoni, whose Hawks will be looking again to claim their first AOCAF crown. A usual suspect in the top ten, they could be big trouble for Myrtannia if they can slow the Dryads down. The only AOCAF level meeting between the two was a 3-0 Lamoni win in Myrtannia's first AOCAF (XIII). The most recent meeting was at the U-21 tournament, when Myrtannia shut out the junior Lamonians 3-0. Myrtannia should be able to steal a closely contested win against the Hawks, especially if the Figary/Gabino/Rollock combination can get into the Lamoni back third often enough.

Then come the other two nations in Group A - Nojika, who haven't done much in AOCAF play for a while, other than beating Starblaydia in the group stage four years ago, and Manhatten Prime, returning to AOCAF after a hiatus. Nojika and Myrtannia might end up being a good match, but Myrtannia has the momentum, and ultimately the Dryads' attacking offense might prove too much for their defense to handle. MP and Myrtannia have never clashed in football, but they might have a difficult time against the Dryads as well. Another probable victory, though they are Myrtannia's first opponent in AOCAF XVII.

"We're not counting anyone out - Manhattan Prime is definitely a team that could sneak into the knockouts when nobody's looking. We'll just have to go out there and score early to make sure we assert control in the first half. We do that, and we should be able to handle them," commented assistant coach Tocarra Khat.

It's AOCAF time again, and the Dryads will be playing for all the marbles - and to be considered legit contenders for the first time.

Group Draws out!

The group draws have been released, and they put Lamoni in group A with some serious competition.

KRYTENIA The AOCAF XVII hosts, Krytenia did poorly in AOCAF XVI. Will this trend reverse itself in the face of their home crowds? We shall see. They could send this into a three way race for first in the group if they saddle up and get down to it.

MYRTANNIA Our friends and allies will likely be our stiffest competition for the group A crown, especially if they can keep up their highly offense based winning streak. Our match against them will likely be one of the best in AOCAF XVII.

NOJIKA The perennial sleepers, their only notable accomplishment in AOCAF XVI was a shocking 2-0 win against Starblaydia. They'll be going against MP in the race to not finish last.

MANHATTAN PRIME This team is going to be in a race with Nojika to NOT finish last in group A. It will all come down to which team does better with the footballing basics.

-----------------------------------------

As for the group of death, there is no clear cut contender for that role; the closest would be group D, and that is if Bazalonia can rise up from the lows they had in the last AOCAF. Of course, group C can also be a contender for group of death. We will leave you with our predictions on who will finish where in the other three groups:

GROUP B

2nd Bettia
1st Pacitalia
4th Milchama
3rd Demot
5th Delesa

GROUP C

2nd Nedalia
1st Vilita & Turori
4th The Lowland Clans
3rd Aurendia
5th The Mushroom Kingship

GROUP D

1st Starblaydia
2nd Hypocria
4th Bazalonia
3rd Az-Cz
5th Quakmybush
Lamoni

Sweet FA


In the four years that have passed since the last AOCAF the Football Association headquarters in Hypocrium has been even more chaotic than usual. The Hyper League’s governing body has never been a stranger to sweeping changes in personnel but this time there were two notable differences. Firstly national coach Marcus Baxter, normally the first out the day on occasions such as these, kept his job. Secondly Alex Scott, the previously untouchable head of the HFA, didn’t. Scott had been running the show for almost as long as anyone could remember and it was quite the shock as he stood down in the wake of talk of gross financial mismanagement.

Championing the cause was none other than former HFA employee Matthias DiMarco, one time Under-21 coach who also had a brief stint with the senior side. DiMarco spoke out against the years of corruption embedded within the Association and called for an inquiry. Whether motivated by a genuine need to clean up the game or by the desire to get one over the man he believes curtailed his international coaching career will have to remain a mystery. Either way DiMarco got what he wanted. The minions of the Association, tired of years of Scott’s autocratic rule, were quick to jump on the band wagon. Eventually Scott, seeing which way the wind was blowing, jumped before he was pushed and announced his immediate retirement. DiMarco was installed as his successor and, perhaps unsurprisingly, all talk of investigations were forgotten.

The new Chairman announced a series of not exactly groundbreaking changes, seemingly just because he could. Most notably, and perhaps most pointlessly, he re-branded the Association itself, the Hypocrian Football Association became the Football Association of Hypocria. Talk of financial mismanagement seemed a long time ago as who knows how much was spent changing headings, logos and insignias from HFA to FAH.

He also abolished the role of Director of Sporting Development and fired it’s incumbent Zvonimir Roeder, another who potentially helped stall DiMarco’s career within the national side. Instead the new, and eerily similar, post of Director of Elite Football was created. Unveiled to fill the new role was Starblaydi World Cup winner Javi Chavez. Chavez (41) helped the Men in Mauve to the top prize at World Cup 28 and later went on to win the Liga Starblaydia as a coach with Corinthian Spirits.

Whether this changes at the top of the nation's football hierarchy have any effect on the national sides chances in Krytenia remain to be seen.

Az-cz Scroll
Krytenia
Il-Lur

It's that time again

The start of another football tournament has come which means it's time for me to make a bunch of predictions that will probably only marginally intercept with reality. It also means that it's time for us to complain about once again being paired with the best team. In two world cups and two AOCAFs we will have met Bedistan in both World Cups and Starblaydia in both AOCAFs. We'd really like to not have to constitently face the two best teams in the world. Not to say there any group is easy, just that we'd like to be done with the top teams.

Now on to the predictions. Some have said that our group might be the group of death, but that label would seem to be clearly erroneous. Yes Starblaydia headlines the group, but after that the group gets weak. Hypocria is listed as the second seed. Although they are a decent Atlantian Oceania side they are not a huge threat and have given up on global football, so who knows. The other three sides, Bazalonia, us and Quakmybush have made a splash on the world cup scene but have yet to translate that to AOCAF success. Sources say that our coaches home nations are the sides the carry the day. Followed by Hypocria, then us, and Quakmybush bringing up the rear.

Next up is the group I feel is the most difficult, group B. Bettia is just one cup removed from a semifinals and two removed from a championship and Pacitalia, similarly is an AOCAF power who was in the semifinals last cup. Milchama is an established AO side, if not a regional power and Demot and Delesa are both young up and coming sides. While perhaps not as good as us and Quakmybush at the bottom, the top three are all strong and Milchama will have a tough road to get out of the group stage. I don't think they can find revenge against a Bettia team that beat them three times in WC31. Pacitalia falls in behind them, Milchama in third, Demot and Delesa, with the group holding to form.

Group C features both hosts of WC31, which also means they've got the defending AOCAF champions. Nedalia looks to recover from their disappointment in the world cup and Aurendia looks to improve on their great showing. The Mushroom Kingship is just there to make numbers. I'm going to call this my big upset group. Expect the champs to rise to the top and Aurendia to slip in behind them. TLC stays in third with Nedalia dropping all the way to fourth. And TMK stays rooted firmly to the group bottom.

Last and also least is group A, where the hosts gave themselves a favorable draw.Yes Lamoni was a finalist last time, but that was in large part due to home field advantage. Myrtannia is certainly active in AO, and are a decent side, but nothing overwhelming. Nojika seems to be slipping, despite a win over Starblaydia last AOCAF, and Manhattan Prime is a total unknown. You could imagine someone from the top three slipping down, except for the fact that it's hard to see the bottom moving up. Krytenia ought to win the group based just on the home field boost. Myrtannia will move past Lamoni who will stay in third. Nojika and Manhattan prime probably won't shift on the bottom.

So that means the 8 advancing teams are Krytennia, Bettia, Vilita & Turori, and Starblaydia on top and Myrtannia, Pacitalia, Aurendia and Bazalonia as the runners up. Are assumption of quarterfinal matchups would then be Krytennia v Pacitalia, Bettia v Myrtannia, Vilita & Turori v Bazalonia, and Starblaydia and Aurendia. I'd say that the Pacitalians knock off the host, Bettia moves on from that group as well, Vilita & Turori keep thier title defense alive and Starblaydia easily handles Aurendia. Then the semis would match Pacitalia and Vilita & Turori and Bettia & Starblaydia. The Pacitalians end the run for Vilita & Turori and the Bettians extend Starblaydia's title drought. In the finals the Pacitalians get revenge for the group stage and bring the AOCAF title to another set of new hands.

Stand Up If You've Won The World Cup
Khim? Javi? What are you two doing in this group too?!


There aren't many players in the world today who have a World Cup Winner's medal to their name, and all of them who are appearing in this AOCAF are Starblaydi - but they're not all working for the Starblaydi Football Association.

One of those men is Javi Chavez, the number-eleven in Starblaydia's second World Championship reign, and he's in the position of power 'Director of Elite Football' in the Hypocrian side who are drawn in Group D alongside Starblaydia. The other is a Dwarf, Khim Azanulbizarn, who won World Cup 25 (playing in the position of left full-back that Rakkinen would later make his own) and also managed Starblaydia to their World Cup 28 victory. He is, of course, the 'Director of Football' for Az-cz who are, of course, also drawn in Starblaydia's group.

Starblaydia's AOCAF manager, the World Cup winning Markko Rakkinen, simply has the title of 'Manager'. It doesn't seem to bother him that he is now facing the Dwarf who placed him in the Number-Three shirt for over twelve years. "I'm just facing another Starblaydi left-back in a different job further down our careers," he said, "Jaime Oberlander played at left-back too, for some of his distinguished career, and we've all managed our national team at some level or other since. It's quite a statistic.

"It's an interesting challenge to face your old mentor, for sure, never mind a great friend and team-mate. But I'm confident in my players, and surely will see us to the Semi-Finals at least. We're obviously looking for the win, but the Last Four is my first aim, the Final will come later."


Rakkinen is expected to field his strongest side for the opening game of the tournament against Azanulbizarn's Az-cz, and will include Dwarven striker Durin Bazrimar, who plays for a Az-Czzer club, Burlock Jesters. He may be the key to knowing how to unlock the Gnomish defence, but Azanulbizarn's knowledge of the core of World Cup 28 Winners that make up Rakkinen's side will surely give him an advantage. All in al, though, Starblaydia are expected to sweep the gnomes before them, before moving through the rest of the group.

Groups Drawn

GROUP B (Avidia, Aigburth, Davisham)
Bettia
Pacitalia
Milchama
Demot
Delesa

St.Myhre- Yes the groups have been drawn and 'experts' from Lamoni havenot even bothered to mention group B as a death group. But who cares what they say? I mean we live in Delesa, and we have our own 'experts' in this sport. And this little editor from the St.Myhre Times got a interview with him. He says he looks at it a different way and says that each nation has its own death group, the one that the nation is in. As each nation has the posibility of being knocked out. Even a strong team like Starblaydia plays a team like Nojika, Starblaydia was defeat it what must have been a huge upset in Starblaydia, 2-Nil. Starblaydia wasnt able to score and beat the unknown Nojika national team. But in group B, Delesa will most likely be labeled a weak team, due to the low ranking in the world cup when the Commonwealth signed up, but didnt bother to show because of the issues in several peacekeeping missions around the globe. But with the team that made it far in its first ever international competition, BoF, did well enough, qualifing for the final stages of the compatition. But due to lack of records from the government, no stats can be provided. Big surprise coming from the government. It was a "real difficult time, trying to get the nation on its feet". Yeah thats the government for you. Well why should i be complaining, I havent been conscripted... yet.
Schedule stands as;

Milchama vs. United - Are horses legal?
Bettia vs. United - Crap
Pacitalia vs. United - Never heard of you, bring it on, just not too hard!
Demot vs. United - Hey remember you from BoF, we where back and forth, Good Luck!

Good luck to all and may the best.... man gnome, bird, female, and anything else I missed, win. Go United Go!

Demot Daily ~ Here We Go Again

Once again the valiant national squad from our beloved nation will go forth into the stiff competition of the AOCAF. The roster isn't changed from that of the one that pulled off the amazing trick of qualifying for the World Cup proper just a year ago. However, the team knows that its' success outside of the region doesn't neccassarly mean that it will have success inside the region. Unlike the World Cup, the AOCAF is played with a pride and a passion that isn't seen between non-regional rivals. This tournament is more than just a simple game between footballers, this is nations putting it all out on the line for bragging rights and the pride that comes in being the best in this amazing region. These players are representing the whole country, and when they go to play their matches, it's like sending off troops to war, with the hopes and prayers of the citizens resting on their heros of the pitch. These matches are their battles, and the victory is their glory, and let that be enough to motivate these grand soul and elevate them to their rightful victory.

Schedule
MD1: Bettia v Demot
MD2: Bye
MD3: Milchama v Demot
MD4: Demot v Delsea
MD5: Pacitalia v Demot

Vilita & Turori In search of Kit

Enemies past
Allies for now
Bettians smell
Really fowl

In Lonngeylin
There is no teal
In Az-Cz
The athletes steal

Lost on a boat
Somewhere unknown
The Jungle Eels clothing
Still has not shown

In a rush
V&T need a kit
But, MD1 is now!
Oh -explicitive removed-.




This is not all Vilita & Turori need however. They need crackers. And Cheese.

It has now been revealed that his was all the players ate before each match in the last AOCAF, which was won by Vilita & Turori. The team will once again be coached by Lorenzo & Malaino Mumamba, but along with their kits, they lost their shipment of crackers. And cheese. The Vilita & Turori Football associations are now desparately in need of outsourcing their kit manufacture and acquisition of crackers and cheese, and any interested parties should begin production immediately and a check will be mailed!

AOCAF 17 - it's haiku-tastic!

In Krytenia
Bettia arrive in style
Come on you 'roras!

We like coming here
Food's good, people nice, but the
Weather's a bit shît

Confidence is high
Putting seven past those darn
Vilitans was sweet

Those guys are crackers
But what do you expect from
People who like red?

But to dwell on that
And on glorious past wins
Would be a foolish thing

We come with one aim
To regain the AOCAF
That we lost last time

And so Bettia
Must now get down to business
First up is Demot

Fellow Takilans
Well, sort of... what to expect?
Perhaps lots of goals?

Fans, many thousands
Travelled from the Blessed Realm
To roar on our boys

Will Bettia win?
Or will they bollocks it up?
We will soon find out!
Bettia
We don't do defence
