Azrael Alexander

GENZODANSK - It is judgement day my fellow froods, standing here amoungst the swelling crowds in the central trading market we all know this is the make or break match. Thousands of people have already poured into the spheres biggest open markets. But there will be no bartering or the selling of vegetables today. Everyone here is waiting to see if thier world cup hopes and dreams might be realised. But they can nought but cheer and shout at the massive screen as the result rests on the shoulders of Alexanders chosen 11. Thier was dismay and annoyance with player manager who had promised much but so far had delivered little. It has been confirmed that he will not be change the formation nor would he be changing his starting lineup. The head of the sports association, rugby confirmed that should Hitchhiker Milan face defeat again that drastic action would be taken. When I was able to question some of the players the were hesitant to tell me anything about this drastic action. but off the record it became clear to the player manager had been given a simple ultimatum. Either win or force a draw, should he not it is believed he will be forced to resign. The grapevine has IYIyTh penciled in to be his replacement. We here at the HarmlessHarbringer are proud to say that we have spearheaded true quality investigative journalism into these games. It seems other nations are following hot on our heels. Dig deeper boys and you'll see the corruption. And with the we hope for the best during the match. C'mon nezaurri!

[quote name='AirMe' timestamp='1292772873' post='2544437'] KARRES - It is match day two folks as we bring you today's coverage from the tri-capital area of Genesis. For match day one it was a mistake filled game and O'Samurai United was lucky to escape with a draw. It looks like the line up will have a change as the rookie okandjo will be benched for veteran AndyP. There are rumors floating around that okandjo was on Umbrellas payroll for the last match with the amount of balls he passed their way but our investigative reporters have not been able to turn any evidence of that. Excitement still runs high around the Checkmate. territory mainly because the whole group is still level with everyone drawing on match day one. O'Samurai will be looking to change that right out of the gate and hopes to get the offense running out of the gates quickly. Nitemare and don_bidarin should be pivotal with their speed in moving the ball up the field and with HisK's natural scoring ability he needs to connect with those shots. It would also help to not shoot from midfield. There have been claims that the the tournament is fixed and that the winner is already pre-determined. These rumors seem to have originated from the FC Hitchhiker camp and all manager AirMe had to say was "POPPYCOCK! Anyone who knows anything about how these tourney's play out knows that is not true. In fact given the bias that is shown against O'Samurai United some could make the case that it is rigged against us! That being said, this competition has been the most exciting and even set of matches the world has ever seen. Know that who ever lifts that trophy at the end will have fought and clawed their way too it and won it fair and square. If we have a chance to play FC Hitchhiker we will show them what real skill is on the pitch for their inflammatory remarks!" Today looks to be an exciting match and we cannot wait! GO'Samurai! - [/quote] love it

Hitchikernazionale Milano qualified for this world cup the passion and love for the beautiful game has blossomed. A minnow in the pitch this was the first time that we would be entering the international stage of the worlds favourite sport. Kids were not playing out side and the streets in the capital of Marvingrad were empty. The whole nations anticipation for this match had reached fever pitch. And with the fridge stocked up with pan galactic gargle blasters we sat down as country, over 567 million of us (figures from the Harmless Broadcasting Company) watching our country do battle on the pitch for the first time. I was lucky enough to get prime seat among my fellow Nerazzurri, nicknamed of course for the beautiful black and blues stripes in which we play in. The turnout was something to behold as the Hitchhiker Milan side of the stadium was fully packed with screaming and cheering fans just happy to be there. It was a breathtaking site to see such a new footballing nation fill the entire triple tiered NAAC memorial stadium. I myself was sitting near to our rival fans, our nemesis if you will. But our mostly harmless upbringing ensure we were all here to simply enjoy the game. And I was happy to see my comrades signing the Atletico Nemesis anthem with as much gusto as their own songs like, “So long and thanks for all the fish” and “Amala, Pazza Hitchiker, Amala.” With the forces lining up and kick off seconds away I settled in for to watch. Unlike my other reports where I attempted be clinical and unbiased in my analysis of the players and teams it was here that this part of my brain shut off and became one with the roiling black and blue striped masses. It was a hitchhiker kickoff with the team playing in a 4-3-2-1 with Athletico taking on what seemed to be a 4-4-2 diamond. One has to wonder why the manager’s usual tactics of playing a 4-2-3-1 were not heeded. Possibly a little mix up in the rooms of power by the FIcFA officials? But regardless the match started with Hitchhiker Milan firing on all cylinders with some great short passes early on the in game by the midfielders. Ralfie was able to play a decent cross low to the ground from the left wing but toffee was unable to get their fast enough leading to an early corner. Scorpio was able to hit in a decent corner but the ball was soon going down the pitch in the wrong direction. A good tackle by Gunther quickly stopped the Nemesis assault. A good run from Caesar123 and some great short passes between him and Azrael Alexander lead to some beautiful skill by the #7 but he was unlucky not to break through the defence. But all was not in vain as IYIyTh proved his worth by forcing the ball all the way back to KWilliams the Nemesis keeper. Caesar123 undaunted was once again quick on the attack, this game was very one sided with Athletico not even getting a look in. Desperation seemed to strike at them with Captain Ian deciding to whack the ball away form the Nemeis half to give them some respite from the dogged attacking hitchhikers. But safe hands MHA #1 the King had it covered scooping the ball up with ease. This is where the game took a turn or the worse with Caesar123 being manhandled off the ball, with the team demanding a booking from the ref they had to make do with the freekick. But we hitchhiker don’t do dirty tactics and scorpios inventive dink over the wall of white players had promise but was headed away by Edison Franklin. Disaster struck with as nemesis struck down the left hand flank leading to a Crazy Crazy goal in the 42nd minute. It seemed the unbalanced distribution of experience and sheer luck was on the White team’s side. All around me the fans fell silent but a goals a goals and we slapped those Nemsis fans on the back, laughing “were going to win 2-1 just you wait” The second half began with us a goal down and Nemesis quickly on the attack. However the cross was easily headed away by the charismatic midfielder scorpio well known human rights activist in the motherlands. The MHA defence as whole proved it worth not giving into the probing Athletio attacks, with Snagglepuss providing a stellar performance. As a corner ensued unpronounced was substituted for Scutterbug. A great passing flurry between the point man Caesar123 and ralfie allowed a golden opportunity for Azrael Alexander to score who was unlucky to hit it wide denying the hitchhiker faithful and equaliser. And so the match ended in an undeserved 1-0 defeat but still we celebrated long into the night with the tournament favourites. I mean you bring a pan galactic gargle blaster to match regardless of the outcome you’ll be downing it soon enough. From the faithful in the NAAC memorial stadium I can tell you simply look forward to taking the lessons learned form this match and apply it to the upcoming duel with MXCA. [center][size="6"][color="#0000FF"][b]Shameful, Shameful. It’s f*&$ing shameful[/b][/color][/size][/center] While I’m sure the Harmless Harbringer will be running a front page about how unlucky we were to lose, no doubt they will be harping on about the experience Nemesis had and that we did well and have to learn from this defeat. But unlike their reporters swanning about in the amazing multimillion pound stadiums and staying in the swankiest hotels. I have been on the ground talking to the grassroots of football in this country. I hit the streets to see what they though about the match. The headline itself comes from a hitchhiker in the upper echelons the national football association let’s just say his name rhymes with bugby. He elaborated by telling me that while the country may be duped into major optimism by national publication like don’t panic and HH they have made the country expect too much. “We have a mediocre team with dreams of grandeur. Player-Manager Azrael Alexander is in experienced and does not know what he is doing. We in the FA believe that he should step own an allow either Unpronounced one of the few players who stepped up to the plate in yesterdays game or CraftJ2 take the reins. Other wise we will only see more disappointment.” The calls for change within the squad as well as anger directed towards certain players has led to death threats being made to some of the players families. Sarah mother of two and husband for Scorpio told us of the numerous frightening phone calls made to her house near the The Harmless Assebly on the centre of Marvingrad. “They said if he (scorpio) ever took another free kick again they would come and rape me and my younger daughter.” Marvinpolitan Police have arrested 4 men with regards to these calls. But does this not show we have lost our mind. It is only a game and it sickens me that people are so obsessed with this rather than the true ills on our society. Maybe instead of cracking down on football hooligans in centre of harmlipool we should turn our attention to the numerous tax evaders who take advantage of states social programmes. These national ghosts are a bigger worry to me than a stupid football game. And it is just that, watching it even my youngest son asked me why midfielder IYIyTh was trying to score in the back of his own net. Hitchhiker get over yourselves we will never win the world cup, and we should stop trying. While some upstarts like the Verde e Brancos have had some success it has been fleeting. We know that FIcFA is corrupt and I guarantee you the old powers of O’Samurai, Umbrella and Tigris are the only ones capable of winning. Having been round the country I can tell you that this prevalent optimism unless it disappears soon will lead to many bitter tears in our next match against Athletico Mexica.

indeed it is

Should we be worried jerdge, I know you said you had unfinished business in the Agency but MoFA? Will we be seeing a less neutral menace in the future

[quote name='Aimee Mann' timestamp='1291058251' post='2525961'] I did have this idea that your leadership were the ones who made all the cowardly decisions and the membership just went along with it like the dumb mass that they appear to be, but now you are telling me that it is the membership of the MHA that are all tools, and not just the leaders? I really do not know what to make of this, I guess the problem is worse than I thought. [/quote] Would you prehaps care to divulge any of these "cowardly decisions" or does simply saying it enough times just make them so? Every alliance has made bad decisions in the past, are making them right now and will do so in the future. Many other alliances are also as quite and will work in the background like us, is there a reason we have been singled out by your esteemed self?

[quote name='Aimee Mann' timestamp='1291045397' post='2525872'] You're not trying to be anything, other than perhaps a useful tool for the leaders of the most influential alliances to wield (always with your own self-preservation and cowardice at the forefront of your thinking, of course) whenever necessary. You clearly enjoy being tools, ready for the use of whichever side is looking like the most powerful at any given time, with the prize of never risking being in the firing line yourselves. If that wasn't the case and you truly didn't want to use your influence for anything, you'd be neutral. [/quote] Get it into your mind that we are not "tools to be used" as we follow the will of the members of the alliance. Every major decision our alliance has taken has been made by the people. Some have tried to use us before by accelerating an agressive war and we did the right thing by not following. So don't give me that honkey about us being sheeps. I was perhaps being a little strong when I said "I'd be perfectly content if our influence was non existent" but the point I was trying to make was were not trying to be a "hegemon". Maybe you would like us to be but we don't, it's as simple as that. Every alliance is fully within thier ights to play the game in the way in which is most enjoyable to them. There will inevitably be some in the MHA who would wish to go neutral but most like myself enjoy the occasional war now and then. The fact is inevitably every alliance will fall and until that times comes there will allways be someone chating the "coward" "self-preservationists" chant.

[quote name='Rebounder' timestamp='1290846704' post='2524509'] That's not why MHA ges most of its flak. [b]Currently, it is the most powerful alliance, stat-wise[/b], in existence. What do they do with their massive size? They only survive contentedly, perfectly happy to be henchmen to whoever is the "hegemon"at the time. They're some of the worst culprits because they give the most powerful alliances (as far as influence, that is) their power, leading to the putrid stagnation that the Reformation seeks to destroy. [/quote] [quote name='Rebounder' timestamp='1290899173' post='2524859'] Oh well, aren't you impressive; you filled one nation's slots. Generally, nobody uses that as a gloating point, but I guess MHA just needs something to feel good about once in a while. Your government is incompetent, your influence is non-existent, you should just pack it in with or without a "Reformation." At least MK is a respectable hegemon. [/quote] No were not. NS is no real indicator of power. Do not expect us to apologise for not using our alliance to force our will upon others. Our power (however little or much you perceive we have) is ours to do with what we want. Everyone on bob should know by now what kind of an alliance we are. It's in the name for admins sake, so lay the blame of stagnation at someone elses door. Once again I find myself bemused by the fact that in a thread where my alliance is belittled as a paper tiger we respond decently enough to the attack. Seems that non-existent military structure works eh? I find it even more hilarious that you rebounder are getting so worked up. Ninja was simply informing flac attack that he would be unable to "join the party". I'm sorry that members of my alliance attacked you as you seemed to very surprised we would or even could. I'd be perfectly content if our influence was non existent as we after all are not trying to be a "respectable hegemon".
