Jarl Frost Posted July 20, 2014 Author Report Share Posted July 20, 2014 AFIS Cup News Bear Islands' Nation of the Bear Men's National Team of the Bear Chad Bearingson was given an organization imposed fine of $30,000 for "frivolous use of Organization resources". All players participating in AFIS participating nations are represented by the AFIS Players Union. Chad Bearingson had attempted to sue, with Union Lawyers, the AFIS Organization for discrimination. Chad alleged that the Organizations' refusal to declare him "King Bear, official bear of the World Cup" was racist against Bear Islanders.

Jarl Frost Posted July 22, 2014 Author Report Share Posted July 22, 2014 Madagascar Moves On, Siam to play in losers rounds!!! Madagascar 3 Goals 2 Siam 18 Shots 12 56% Possession 44% 1 Injuries 0 Summary: It could be said that this was the first real "match" of the tournament, a back and forth that proved absolutely entertaining as the folks from Siam outright refused to give in until the very last minutes. Mighty Madagascar proved resilient, and will move on to challenge for the Cup. 1st Half: The first half ended in a tie, one in the 22nd minute by forward Jose Franco for Madagascar and one in the 29nth as an answer from Agent 12 for Siam. Madagascar held a pressing attack, keeping possession for most of the half. 2nd Half: This half proved to be much more interesting, indeed more exciting. An early injury into the half by Alasan Galafy for Madagascar would dim hopes, but those hopes would quickly return as as 55th minute goal put the team into the lead. Siam answered, however, just 10 minutes later, leaving the game tied Madagascar looking for answers. An 87th minute goal by substitute Pierre Scongas put Madagascar in the lead (and popped the ear drums of everyone in the stadium from the noise of the crowd) would permanently put Madagascar ahead. and now a word from our sponsors....

Jarl Frost Posted July 30, 2014 Author Report Share Posted July 30, 2014 Athens Steamrolls Bear Islands, Moves On Bear Islands' Nation of the Bear vs Athenian Federation 0 Goals 3 1 Shots 14 50% Possession 50% 1 Fouls 2 Summary: A bit of a surprise here as the Athenian Federation commanded the match against Bear Islands' Nation of the Bear. It wasn't a bad effort by the Stormcloaks: Athens just happened to be better. 1st Half: Athens possessed the ball for much of the first half, scoring two early goals that would leave Bear Islands scrambling. Bear Islands gave a good effort in maintaining possession later on, but were unable to push into Athenian territory long enough to challenge a very tough defense. 2nd Half: A very dull second half indeed, though a more concerted effort by Bear Islands to maintain possession of the ball and attack. A lackadaisal effort however led to a third Athenian Goal, ending hopes of the Stormcloaks in this round of play. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Generalissimo Posted August 5, 2014 Report Share Posted August 5, 2014 This unexpected loss to Athenean Federation caught everyone in everyone in Bear Islands' Nation of the Bear off guard. The nation was for a moment utterly shocked, completely dismayed, and consumed by shame. Athens Steamrolls Bear Islands, Moves On Manner of how that victory was announced hurt nearly most of all. Athens Steamrolls Bear Islands, Moves on. Athhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhennnnnnns! Shock gave way to denial. Denial gave way to anger. Anger gave way to bargaining. Bargaining gave way to depression Depression gave way to acceptance. Of course all things considered it really wasn't such a bad game. For a nation's fist competitive outing it was a decent showing. Especially when compared to a storied team of Athen's football heritage. People had began rapidly accepting this narrative. When everything settled there was an clear ongoing crisis in Canada though. $550,000,000 worth of Honningbrew that nobody was in any mood to drink. Thus marking the beginning of the Bear's unforeseen "Great Mead Crisis" instability. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jarl Frost Posted August 9, 2014 Author Report Share Posted August 9, 2014 Second Actual Match of the Tourney; Meihua Takes it in Final Minutes Meihua vs Tierra Del Fuego 4 Score 3 1 Fouls 1 38% Possession 62% 10 Fans Accidentally Married After Match 11 Summary: An exciting match as two clearly powerhouse teams faced off today. This was a game filled with thrills, shrills, and chills, and a back and forth seen only previously with the Madagascar vs Siam match. It's a real shame one of these teams had to lose, and fortunately both might still make it to the final 1st Half: Meihua started off with a nice header into the goal by Sam Sung, leading the team to an early lead. Tierra Del Fuego would answer that with a beautiful upper-90 kick by leading striker Rodriguz Miguelson. Tierra Del Fuego would make several more attempts this half, but nothing would come of it, leading to half-time. 2nd Half: The real message of the day was that although Tierrra Del Fuego was a more possessive team, Meihua was a more efficient one. Tierra took a machine gun approach to the game, maintaining possession of the ball and delivering strike after strike. This approach was moderately successful with two goals by Hernandez Montoya and Ignacious Pistole respectfully, putting Tierra up ahead 3-1 in the second half. Meihua responded, scoring 3 goals over their next 4 possessions, a relatively paltry amount of time compared to Tierra, with goals by Hue Man, Stan, and Markus Lee to put Meihua up at the end in stoppage time.

Horo the Wise Wolf Posted August 21, 2014 Report Share Posted August 21, 2014 Meihua'a fans celebrating their first victory on the world stageClassifiedAfter the poor possession figures from the first game, the team's coach, Shui Su, has opted to change the team's playing style. Rather than playing the "hit it hard and pray" style, the team will now play a high pressure formation and style, designed to ensure there is always a player hunting down an opponent if they have the ball (and aren't a defender with acres of space). Then, when on the ball, they will play with sharp passes and slowly move up the field as a whole. However, strikers will be told to take the opportunities they can and split defences in two alongside a well-placed through ball. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jarl Frost Posted October 21, 2014 Author Report Share Posted October 21, 2014 TOURNAMENT CHANGE Due to the continue collapse of stable nations, that tournament has taken a turn, as both Siam and Faraway have vanished as nations. We mourn their passing. As a result a reshuffling of the tournament is slightly in order. As Madagascar and Russia have already played, their match still stands, with Russia advancing to the next round, knocking Madagascar out of the Tournament. That leaves only 3 other matches remaining. Stay tuned! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MostGloriousLeader Posted October 24, 2014 Report Share Posted October 24, 2014 With the major upset victory over Tianxia, the World Cup had been catapulted to the forefront of sports coverage in the Commonwealth, despite the fact that it was soccer. Now many looked forward to the next game against Meihua with the hopes of another such victory. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Horo the Wise Wolf Posted October 26, 2014 Report Share Posted October 26, 2014 Unfortunately for the Americans, their hopes would be short-lived, because there was no way they'd be able to defeat the glorious Meihua'a team; perhaps they could hope for a modest defeat, though an absolute stomping was looking to be in the works.

Jarl Frost Posted November 16, 2014 Author Report Share Posted November 16, 2014 Big Day Matches! Meihua VS America 3 - 0 One of the prerequisites of winning a match is hanging on to the ball, which America spectacularly failed to do. Meihua took full advantage of their control and finished the match early in the second half. Tianxia VS Athens 2 - 2 1 - 3 PK Perhaps the most anticipated match of the tournament, Tianxia took on the Athenian Federation. Regular time ended 2 - 2 in a tie, forcing the match into a PK shootout. There Tianxia proved very unlucky, scoring only one of their shots. Athens moves on. Coming up next!

Jarl Frost Posted December 15, 2014 Author Report Share Posted December 15, 2014 FINALS ANNOUNCED Athens Vs Meihua 0-1 Just when you expected a smooth cruise to the finals, Athens surprised everybody by falling to Meihua 0-1 in the Semi-final round. A lot of solid defense all around until the second half when Meihua switched to a more offensively centered formation, breaking through to score the game winning match. Russia Vs Tierra Del Fuego 2 - 1 A battle between two Cup favorites, and what many assumed would be the Final round match, Russia and Tierra Del Fuego went head to head in the number 2 watched match of the Cup. A battle of possession, Russia managed ten more minutes than Tierra in holding the ball, minutes that were crucial in the final moment of the match when Skorkosvky Petro took a header off a cross for the game winning match. Russia and Meihua face off in the Cup final!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Horo the Wise Wolf Posted December 16, 2014 Report Share Posted December 16, 2014 "It's coming home..."Much of the nation (most of whom had been relatively apathetic towards Meihua'a football until they made it into the Semi-Finals) would be on the edge of their seats soaking in as much as they could before the Finals began. Bars would proudly boast their coverage of the game, with flags and the team's Insignia fluttering off of most such buildings. Children would play in parks and impersonate their favourite players, while big companies would take this opportunity to get out as much football marketing as they could before it was too late.
