UAFA: 'Poly 2004 Team Information

[ceroomaster]

N3 Sports News
"THE Event of the Summer, 'Poly 2004: The UAFA Football Championships is to be held in Karakas.

Of course, N3 Sports is the premier sports news channel and will keep you up to date on all the qualifiers as and when they qualify..."

[ooc: as there is no qualification, post the RL nation your country most resembles, plus a list of 23 player names (if you don't want to use the RL ones) and positions, and they will be edited into the most recent version of CM which will simulate the tournament- I will edit RL players to the names without changing any stats.
Competition format depends on the number of qualifiers. Although groups of 3 or 4 are likely as these are easiest to simluate.]

Karakas [Portugal] 4-4-2 hosts
Ceroo [Wales] 4-5-1 *fully entered into CM
NCC Pavesia [Finland] 4-3-3 *fully entered into CM
San Antonio Bay [Spain] 4-4-2 *fully entered into CM
Auldoninna [Australia] 3-4-3
Jonchastan [Tunisia] 3-5-2
Iguana Fire [Norway]
Alecrast [Japan]
North Spire [England or Poland]
Ming Tran [China] 4-4-2

Guardinia [not chosen]
Dakmoristan [not chosen]

[Rasputin]

yes Auldonina wil lbe the wild card entry Australia ....

[DarkCloud]

well, I'd like to use Norway, but Iguana Fire doesn't resemble Norway in any way [although the geography of the nation itself sort of looks like Denmark ]

Frankly, Iguana Fire slightly resembles the US, but it's a bit more free-market than that... and more 'free' in other ways too (full separation of church and state)

As for player names: please see this threadpost:

Qatar sounds good to me... or Kuwait. Your call.

[DarkCloud]

Does Qatar even have a team?

[Mr. President]

Qatar has a team. They're actually pretty good in the Asian confederation.

As for team style, I think I'll go with Portugal (for Karakas).

I know I'm supposed to be minding Alecrast and North Spire for Archaic, but I must admit I haven't given them too much thought in football terms. Maybe Alecrast should be Japan because Archaic is interested in Japan, and North Spire can be someone boring (like Poland, or England ).

[Pave]

Just in case, heres the players from NCC Pavesia: http://apolyton.net/forums/showthrea...90#post3026890

[Mr. President]

So if I'm making up names for my players, I'll need 23 in total, right? But how many in each position?

[ceroomaster]

As many as you like, depending on formation.

As long as there's a decent balance, the game should be able to calculate a realistic result...

Ceroo's formation is 4-5-1 so it is likely there will be a higher than average number of midfielders in the squad.

In other news, Ceroo's Under 21s pulled off a magnificent 4-0 victory over San Antonio Bay, [in a final test of using CM4 with various nation names] at the Millennium Stadium in Sarali.

Midfielder Peter Tomlinson controlled the match and scored two goals, making him a hot tip to be included in the senior sqaud for the tournament.

[ceroomaster]

Oh, and if anybody can't be bothered making up names, then the RL names can be left in.

Pavesia has also been fully editted in now- in their test match they beat RL Russia 1-0

Andrey Kalermo (who inherited Forsells stats scored the winner)

[joncha]

I'd add some names sometime today.

Do we have enough sides for a good tournament yet?
