The Daily Druid
AOCAF COMES TO DRUIDA
By Bill Posters
After going all around Atlantian Oceania since what seems like forever (it was only 1970*), the AOCAF has finally come to the Druidish Lands! OK, so we're not four-times winners NEWI Cefn Druids any more, but let's be honest, it's better off that way, eh?
So anyway, you may be asking yourself, "Well why don't thiey just get on with things? Are they drunk or something?" Well, of course, the chances are that the organising committee are probably completely lashed in some backstreet bar in Bessburg. But that's not why they haven't started.
No, they haven't started because for some bizarre reason, the hosting committee decided it would be a damn good idea to set the deadline for entries after the official tournament start time. A very Druidan, though somewhat shambolic, way of doing things. With 22 football squads from 22 different nations across the region already here waiting for the scheduled start time (that was yesterday, folks.), people are starting to question giving the hosting rights to such an unorganised rabble.
Furthermore, the deadline seems to have been given out in some secret code that we at the Daily Druid are struggling to get our head around. IRL 11am tomorrow BST? We get the time bit, but what are all the letters in aid of? Somebody pass me the tablets...
Anyway, at that time, whenever it is, the draw will be made and then AOCAF VIII will finally be upon us!
* - This is using the Druidan calendar. We are aware that other nations use different timescales, so elsewhere it'll be different years.

Starblaydia Up For Title Defence
Probably The Best B Team in the World
De Marco, Khaif, Tobias and de Montford are four starters who have kept their places in Starblaydia's 'B' Team from four years ago. Starblaydia are, of course, the most successful AOCAF team still in existence, what with the NEWI Cefn Druids having been incorporated into the Druidan mediocrity.
With Two Championships and Two Runners-Up places, Starblaydia have positioned themselves as the dominant force within AO. If only the Starblaydi squad could make the same impact on the senior World stage, rather than just the Under-21s.
Starblaydia will be making the short trip across the mighty Bekk lake to Druida, their co-hosting nation for the highly-successful World Cup 20. Vilita managed to take the World Title the last time a Final was held in The Hole of Mawr, so could they take the regional title in the same arena?
Starblaydia will be hoping to prove that wrong and take their third Regional Title at the same time. |

Stars v. 3.0
With few exceptions, the squad representing Sarzonia in the eighth AOCAF tournament is essentially a brand new collection of footballers. After Sarzonia withdrew from the seventh AOCAF tournament and briefly left Atlantian Oceania, their participation in this tournament was in doubt. However, Incorporated Football Federation Chairman Terry Mangione said there was "no doubt," the team should play.
"This is a premier tournament that is arguably the toughest regional tournament in the world," Mangione said. "Some of the world's greatest teams make their home in Atlantian Oceania and a lot of these matches have World Cup intensity. It's an excellent place for us to develop our depth players."
More depth players than ever will take the field for the Stars. Only three players and the head coach are back on the team from AOCAF VI, when the Stars failed to advance to the semifinals for the first time in the team's history.
"That was a disappointing way to end the run," Coach Bryson Juergens said. "And then to not come back right after that was even more crushing. We should be back and more ready to go after it this time."
The Stars are playing in the Southern Confernece with the region's top ranked team according to Atlantian Oceania media, rivals Starblaydia. Onetime nemesis Nojika also lies in wait for the Stars, while footballing newcomers Nedalia and Starblaydi colony Nova Britannicus round out the conference. The Stars expect to have a bye on the second matchday and are considering the prospect of playing a Druidan club team.
"We're concerned that our off day is on Matchday Two," forward and newly-elected team captain Kevin Wilson said. "I hope we get to play Parkville. I'd like to see us match up against [midfielder] Darwin Russell if the first choice [Sarzonian team] isn't playing a match."
Mangione said the team would explore the possibility and a letter would go out later that afternoon.
"Parkville has a long tradition of excellence," Mangione said. "That would be great to expose our players to." |

5th place Hawks in Druida for AOCAF VIII
After securing the 5th seed in the AO rankings with a third place finish in AOCAF VII, the Hawks will be looking to capitolize in AOCAF VIII, and possibly defeat Starblaydia for the first time. The Hawks have been placed in a competitive group, with Cockbill Street, Nova Roma, FmjPhoenix, Giustizalia, and Crystilakere rounding out the group.
Our predictions:
Cockbill Street: One of the teams that will make a good showing in this group, they may knock either Crystilakere or Lamoni out of the knockouts if things go the right way for them. 1st, 2nd or 3rd place
Nova Roma: New to the AOCAF, this team is not likely to make it to the knockouts, though as the Hawks can attest, it CAN happen. 5th place
FmjPhoenix: It is felt that this team will make a valiant effort, but likely not make it into the knockouts. Not for a lack of trying, however. 4th place
Giustizalia: Also new to the AOCAF, it is believed by statisticians that Nova Roma has a slight edge over these guys. 6th place
Crystilakere: Along with Cockbill Street, this is the team that the Hawks are really going to have to keep an eye on. Ranked third in AO, they are just slightly ahead of the Hawks, but that could be the thing that makes all the difference. 1st, 2nd, or 3rd place |

"Hellooooo and welcome to Footy Review on the Sonastra Sports Network. I'm your host Razir Jones on SSN, the only place to see your very own Aroras in AOCAF action. Now, the draw has been made for the first round, and Bettia have been drawn in the Eastern Conference. It's safe to say hey're in for a tough time. This is their first foray into this championship, so naturally they're unranked. First up is Legalese. Tommy?"
"Thank you Razir. Now then, Legalese finished bottom of their group in AOCAF VII gaining just one point. They'll be looking to do a lot better this time round."
"On matchday 2 they face quarter-finalists South Ossetia. They're only ranked 13 for this competition - Tommy, is that a false position for them?"
"Pssh. Don't ask me about rankings mate. As the value-brand spud said to the Maris Piper, I'm just a common-tater."
"**groan** Honestly, I've heard better jokes on the lunchtime news. I mean, come on, am I really paid to put up with this? Anyway, back to business. Next up is Turori, the top-ranked team in the group. They only just missed out on the knockout stages in the last tournament and will hoping to make amends for that disappointment. Then our boys finish off with an equally tough game with runners-up Krytenia. Tommy, your thoughts?"
"I'm not gonna beat around the bush here, winning a single point will be a major victory. This is a total step into the unknown for our lads and they'll be facing some stiff tests - it'll be interesting to see how they fare. It'll also be interesting to see the stadiums our Druidan hosts have got lined up. I don't know about you, but that Sorrellime Fountain looks rather picturesque sat next to that river."
"Thank you very much. Next on SSN, exclusive highlights from a random mid-table clash in Division Four. Mmm, can't wait. Lower league mediocrity at it's best!" |

Stars win 'Navy' battle, 2-1
Two nations. Both of which use either navy or another derivative of the colour blue. Both countries also look back on proud nautical traditions. But Sarzonia were the better team on this day, getting goals from Kevin Wilson and Owen Manson en route to a 2-1 win over Nova Britannicus.
"We wanted to start off our first match in the AOCAF tournament since our return on a good note," Coach Bryson Juergens said. "I'm proud of the lads and lassie for playing well."
Even though Nova Britannicus jumped out to the early 1-0 lead with intense pressure that yielded a 12th minute goal by midfielder Jeremy Patel, the Stars (1-0-0, three points first place, Southern Conference), that came against the run of play as the Stars kept the ball in Nova Britannicus's end for 51 minutes overall and 27 minutes in the first half.
Manson scored the equaliser 27 minutes in after stealing the ball from Patel, who got careless with a back pass and the Stars looked like the goal gave them a surge in energy.
"I think it did," Manson said. "It felt like we were working a little bit better after that early goal and we were in form from then on."
Wilson gave the Stars the winning margin in the 68th minute, shortly after midfielder Calvin Olson was brought down in the penalty area. Wilson cooly banged the penalty kick into the middle of the net after getting goalkeeper Henry Tuckworth to commit to his right.
"I just put a quick head move on him and shot it," Wilson said. "Nothing fancy, just power." The same could have been said about the Stars. |

Street Close To Quarter-Finals
Upset In Neodzki Means Street Are Ranked Second
While everyone else seems to care about the World Cup Finals next door in Vilita and Legalese, Cockbill Street's next-best footballers are also competing - a young squad with an average age in the region of 25 yesterday beat off Lamoni's best.
Owing to the scheduling mess-up, very few Streetian fans have travelled to Druida, although the odd red-white-and-blue scarf could be seen. Probably people who couldn't afford the trip to the Heartland. In any event, Sam Peterson proved himself to be a future candidate of keeping for the national team, especially after Simon Qurat's dismal performance for the national team yesterday.
In any event, it was a close game, that could easily have gone either way. Only Sam Peterson's great goalkeeping prevented a conceded goal, while up front, newly appointed captain James Chitterling missed a bunch of chances. Luckily, though, Edward Clarke was a little more clinical, as he put the ball to McCaa's left for 1-0 with fifteen minutes to spare. The match could very easily have been 2-1 in the final minutes, both Lamoni and Cockbill Street missing crucial chances by sending them inches wide.
Cockbill Street - and their few fans with no money - next trafel (editor's note: the journalist must have been influenced by local spelling) to Cefn, and the Griffin Park, home of Cefn Albion. Hopefully they'll get through the griffin habitat and into the indubitably beautiful Park - where they'll face off with newcomers Giustizalia, a former colony of Legalese. Their squad is not really known, and the only thing we know about them is that they are green and gold, and that their land lies to the south of Psytroxia, to the east of Legalese and The Lowland Clans, and to the north of Chacor. (Editor's note: we're sorry for the geography lesson, but according to our journalist in Druida: "That's the only thing I know about 'em!"

Nedalia: 1 (Nene 66th)
Nojika: 0
- A thrilling result in Parkville saw the Lions take steps to putting behind them the disappointment of the WC 22 qualifying campaign and hopefully get back to the levels they achieved so famously during the U21 WC 14 run, which was ended, incidentally, with a loss to Southern Conference opponents Starblaydia. In a match that was painstakingly un-Nedalian, defense was the calling card of both teams, as opportunities came far and wide between, with only a brilliant solo effort by wonderkid Nene seperating the two teams in the match of tactics.
The Panthers, who failed to qualify to the quarterfinals in the last AOCAF Championship, were hoping for a comfortable 3 points to start of the tournament, and with the recent displays showcased by the Lions, who would have blamed them. But for once, the Nedalians came out playing as if they wanted to win, and manager Randy Gamman could not have been happier.
"This is a tough, tough group, so taking 3 points from anybody will be welcomed with open arms. Nojika are obviously the more experienced team, but we showed that when we want to, we can compete. Its jut a matter of consistency, because the talent is there. What we need to do now is look forward. This game is behind us, we got the 3 points, now lets move on. We cannot stop here. We're playing Nova Britannicus next, and we all know they're going to come at us with every they got. Just look at the way their navy operates...I think that speaks for the attitude of the whole country. We have to be ready to play."
What manager Randy Gamman failed to mention was the footballing relations between the two nations. As everyone in Nedalia is well aware, Starblaydian company Orcinus owns Honsfield Athletic, and through that means they have imported 4 Nova Britannicus players, all of whom will be featured in their AOCAF Championship team. But it doesnt stop there...Honsfield manager, Starblaydian David Bentley, has also been assigned the task of managing the Nova Britannicus national side. Such understanding of the Nedalian game could prove costly information given out for the Lions on Matchday 2.
In other Southern Conference news, Sarzonia defeated Nova Britannicus 2 - 1 in Canbury, which now puts the Stars and the Lions on top of the table with 3 points a piece. The upcoming games feature Starblaydia vs. Nojika in Cranbury, and ofcourse, Nedalia vs. Nova Britannicus in Trontby, with Sarzonia receiving a bye.

Chocobos open with a 2-1 victory
Even though almost all the footballing focus is on the international stage with the Vikings and Junior Vikings, the Chocobo of Fmjphoenix opened up the regional stage with a solid 2-1 victory over Giustizalia.
Suprise player Branden Kapono, though to have left football after being cut off the international team, scored both goals for the Chocobos in the second half, providing enough support for goalkeeper Erin Charts to ensure 3 points. It was not a flashy match, just lots of back and forth along the pitch. Although they may not be the best in Fmjphoenix, they have proved they can play football. The second match is against Crystilakere, one of the group facorites. Although it will not be an easy match, you can expect Fmjphoenix to come out with all they have to try and walk away with at least a point from them. |

Hawks lose 0-1 in opening match
The Hawks lost a heartbreakingly close match against Cockbill Street 0-1 today. The shooting from the Lamonian squad seemed to be off, with the squad missing on many attempts. The Hawks almost scored a goal, but it was deflected by the Streetian goalkeeper at the last second. At least, that was the ruling of the referee on the field.
Goalkeer McCaa put it this way, "We haven't been practicing as much or as well as we did the first time that this particular Lamonian squad hit the AOCAF field. I feel certain that this will be rectified before our next match against Nova Roma. Now if you'll all excuse me, the coach is calling for me."
Lamoni's next match is against Nova Roma, who is unranked in the AO standings. While nothing is garunteed in the AOCAF, we feel that Nova Roma should prepare for a pounding in this match. The Hawks didn't make it to 5th in the region by being lazy, after all; and while their rank climbing strategy is not seen as 'normal' by AO standards, it has worked in Lamoni's favor nonetheless.
The only thing that the Hawks know about the Nova Roman team is that they (as Novvs Atlantis) lead a failed invasion of the Free Republic, and moved north sometime later. Still, the Lamonians are frankly enjoying their reproduced versions of captured Nova Roman technology.
Lamoni - 0
Cockbill Street - 1 Clarke (74) |

The Daily Druid
EDI SINKS BEDI
Bill Posters on Druida 1 Bedistan 0
An unusual sight this AOCAF saw Druida overcome Bedistan in their opening game of the cup in Newton Vale. That unusual sight being some Druidans who haven't messed things up.
Yes, Druida did well in front of their home crowd, and the team could yet endear themselves to them in a way that the World Cup 20 side failed to do. The most remarkable performance came from Riccardo Eduno. Eduno had, up until last season, played on the right of midfield for club and country. However, as Dinamo Neodzki were desperate at the back, he moved into the centre of defence, where his performances have lifted Dinamo to the brink of promotion back to the DPL.
In this game, he shut out the Bedistani team easily, and on this form, he could even make it back onto the full roster in a completely new position in four years time. Fic alongside him was also strong, and showed that Druida must have some strength and depth in the position.
The only goal of the game came from a corner, and was typical more of Crystilakere than Druida, with Eduno heading home a Trevor Rivers corner. It was enough, though a late save from Trevor Perry to keep out a misdirected Angus McCootey header sealed it.
Is this the start of a new glory era for the Druidish Lands in the AOCAF? On the basis of this result, saying that would be crazy, but you never can tell...
Final score:
Druida 1 (Eduno 68)
Bedistan 0

Starblaydia Don't Win, Don't Score
Hold on... they didn't play
Though some merely claim its a slow news day, we at the Jhanna Chronicle know otherwise. In the flurry of opening-day AOCAF games played yesterday, Starblaydia quickly fell behind those teams picking up one or three point, but still stayed ahead of teams that lost.
"What are you talking about?" team captain Fernando De Marco asked us, "we Didn't. Play. Yester. Day.
So much for him, but now Starblaydia lie behind Sarzonia and, yes, even Nedalia in the Southern Conference. Starblaydia's next game will be against Nojika, where they'll certainly be hoping to do better than yesterday's non-existant performance.
Yeah, you're right, it is a slow news day. |

" (oh, have I finished my flask of tea already? Hey kid, go and get me a cup, quickly now, before they start. Good lad) You join us live for Bettia's first AOCAF match against Legalese, being played here in Sorrelline. In a minute we'll bring you the team news, but first let's be hear the national anthems... Hmmmmm, everyone just seems standing around doing nothing. ."
"Well, it would help if we actually had a national anthem. Perhaps the Legalese anthem is better... erm... nope, no luck there neither."
"Ah well, a slightly disappointing start to proceedings there. While we're wating for the kick-off, lets just go through the Bettian squad. In goal we have Ricardo DiTorino, still standing in for the injured Amir Bettison. Apart from that, we have a fully fit lineup. In centre of defence we have Coates, Ismail and Williams, with Carew playing as left wing-back and Bin Da'ud on the opposite flank. In midfield we have Connick in the centre with Brooks and Whistler either side of him, with Abdul-Rahim and Hutton up front. Now lets join the action - Legalese have won the toss and kick off."
14 minutes
"This is tentative stuff, both teams are just sizing each other up. Bettia are just stroking the ball around across the back and... oh! That was a loose by Williams. The Legalese striker has picked that up and he's through... he's lobbed DiTorino and... ohhh my word, that was close! The ball just bounces off the roof of the net, and its safe to say Williams is a mightily relieved man. That was an early scare for Bettia there. They can't afford to keep making mistakes like that, not if they want to progress..."
35 minutes
"...and Bettia are really starting to get back into this game now. Here's Carew now breaking down the left. Long diagonal ball... oh look at that, straight to Hutton's feet, how precise was that? Hutton's into the area... oh, he's been pushed wide by the defender... still manages to cut the ball back to Brooks just outside the area. He's thinking about the shot there, and... wow, he unleashed a thunderbolt there but it's way wide. Such a good build-up, let down by poor finishing."
44 minutes
"...as Legalese prepare to take this corner. They're bringing up their big central defenders for this one, looking to go into half-time with the lead. There's a bit of jostling going on in the box... it's starting to get a bit ugly. Good job the ref's got a grip on that. Here's the ball floated into the box... and it's bundled in! Goal to Legalese!! No, wait! No, the referee's disallowed it, there must've been a push on DiTorino. The Legalese players aren't too happy with that! They're crowding around the ref... they're going have to watch their mouths, they don't want to end up in the ref's book. There's a yellow card being shown... he's booked one of their players, obviously for saying a bit too much. And there's the half-time whistle. Well, a controversial end to the first half there and no mistake. Was the referee right to disallow that goal?"
"I have to honestly say that from where I was sitting, that goal looked okay to me. But at the end of the day, its the ref calling the shots here and he was in a much better position than us to make that call. I'm sure some commentators will say the keepers are over-protected in situations like this, but thats just the state of the game right now."
"Thank you. We'll have plenty more to talk about after the break... don't go away! Phew, I'm parched. You couldn't get me a cup of tea, could you? There's a good lad."
"Are you sure? Don't you think you've had enough, what with your bladder and everything?"
47 minutes
"...and Legalese have really shot out of the blocks in this second half. They're playing the ball into the final third almost at will. Bettia are having to soak up an enormous amount of pressure here... but finally they get the ball away. Connick challenges in the air, and the ball is flicked on to substitute Bobby Rosensteihl... oh what superb skill there from the youngster, he just ghosted past his marker as though he wasn't there! 25 yards out now... he shoots... oh! That's struck the post, and it's cleared by a defender. That would've been the perfect introduction there for the Downton star. He plays for the Bulldozers, and he almost bulldozed Bettia into the lead!"
67 minutes
"(Psst. Hey you! Boy! Here's some money, go and get us a cup of tea.)"
82 minutes
"Less than ten minutes to go, and this game's heading for a nil-nil draw. It's Legalese in possession now, pressing down the right-hand side. Nice square ball into the middle there, he's just outside the area. He's looking to pass the ball but support's a bit thin for him there. Takes the shot, but it's blocked by Said Ismail. Hang on, there's shouts of handball coming from some of the Legalese players... and he's given it! The referee's given the penalty! Oh my word, we've got late drama here at the Sorellime Fountain! Now then... was that a penalty? Let's just see the replay... (where's my tea? Finished again? Here lad, go and get us another one.)"
"Oh, there's no way that was handball. The ball clearly hit him on the chest. What a shocking decision by the official."
"Okay, he steps up to take the spot kick... and it's saved! What a fantastic save... but it's the Legalese striker who's first to the rebound... and it's in! It's one-nil to Legalese, and DiTorino's heroics were all in vain. What a fantastic save though. That's a small consolation."
91 minutes
"...what a thrilling end to this match. Bettia are throwing everything forward. Substitute Judson York now with the ball... he's gone past one... what an amazing burst of speed here, he's trying to rescue the game for the Aroras single-handedly. He's into the area now... he shoots! Oh, it's off the crossbar! How unlucky was that? (oooh, I shouldn't have had all that tea!). And that's the final whistle. The ref signals the end of this tense opening game. The final score... Legalese one, Bettia nil... aaaaaaahh... oh no."

Makosile Striker added to AOCAF Squad
18 year old Makosile Striker Grenville Marai has been added to Serge DuPont's AOCAF squad at the request of Under-21 head coach and long time teammate of DuPont's at Strike FC, Santo Kecker. Kecker had received a letter from Makosile head coach Lorenzo Abellan about the performances of Marai since being given his first professional contract at the start of season 17. Marai netted the game winner for Makosile on his debut, and has been an influential member of the first team squad ever since. While it is believed that Kecker is content with his main trio of Strikers, Tika Massa of Eastal Lunar, Kris Wrice of Turoki Isle and Tristam Bumbar of Yutzie Sorma, He has been looking for a 4th Striker now that Arcticala Inlet's Julian Lisbie will no longer be eligible for the Under-21 side. Marai has recently recovered from a series of toe injuries that kept him out of Makosile matches for about a month. |

Tuirma handed first head coaching job
Long standing Turori international hero Cuolia Tuirma has been given the chance to prove his coaching abilities by the Football Association of Turori (FAT) in the AOCAF competition, Tuirma's first step into the world of International management. Tuirma has been spending his time as a player/coach at Marine Coast United, and recently helped the team back to the top of the Stellar Division after years of dominance by rivals Yeaddin Owls AFC. It is believed that Marine Coast United manager and former Vilitan AOCAF head coach Baron O'Toole recommended the 36 year old midfielder to the Turorian FA when he heard they were reviewing candidates for the position of AOCAF manager. Tuirma, a known Free Kick specialist, will likely lead the team from the playing field, while Yabaiy Tbaiao will take up the role as his active assistant from the touchline. |
