Nojikan Panthers Coaches Discuss AOCAF II Today
Head Coach Randy Mulder announced today that he has made rookie 17 year old Shane Follett and rookie 18 year old Andrew Beat the new captains of the Nojikan international team.
"I had the oppurtunity to watch both these young men play during the u-18 finals for Rozier F.C. and it stunned me that such young men as these two could play with an energy greater than many former veteran players. I placed them on the roster and allowed them to practice with the our team without the intent of making them captains of the team, let alone play for me in the AOCAF...I believe we will see great things come from these two in the games and years to come..."
The two young players have been recieved well by both the nation as a whole and by their older more experienced teammates. The two new stars have made an incredible impact on the moral of the team and have added an all new energy and feel to the game for the Panthers. Many believe that these new young players are just what the Panthers have needed to get themselves the recognition of a great team.
Assistant Coach, Shon Kezele told reporters that he believes the Panthers will have a fairly easy time with all of their opponent's this season and that the only team he believes will be a challenge this year will be the defending AOCAF champs, NEWI Cefn Druids.
Both coaches were asked their thoughts on the outcomes of each match and they provided the following:
Matchday 1
Turori vs. Nojika @ Crossroads Stadium, Alikki-Corra
"This game will be a very offensive game for us and I am confident we will prevail with a 3-0 win." - Head Coach Randy Mulder
"There is no doubt in my mind that we can't beat this team, as long as we play tight and take shots on goal. I'll give us a 4-2 win." - Asst. Coach Shon Kezele
Match Outcome Predictions: 3-0 Win , 4-2 Win
Matchday 2
Nojika vs. Starblaydia @ Jlinal Cove Complex, Jlinal
"This may be a tough match early on. We will be playing against a tough defence and a great offence. I think this game will be won in the last minutes of the game. I predict a 2-1 win." - Head Coach Randy Mulder
"I have faith in our boys' and their defensive capabilities. And with Follett in the back, I'm sure we won't need our goalie. I say it will be a 1-0 win, won early on." - Asst. Coach Shon Kezele
Match Outcome Predictions: 2-1 Win , 1-0 Win
Matchday 3
NEWI Cefn Druids vs. Nojika @ Crossroads Stadium, Alikki-Corra
"This will no doubt be our toughest game. Our team is definetly ready to play the Druids, but I don't know that we can outplay them, at least not this year. This time I have to predict a 2-0 loss." - Head Coach Randy Mulder
"We have a young team with a great bit of experience. But I don't know that we have the experience neccasary to beat the Druids. It will all depend on the situations we are given on the field. I think this might be a closer match than most, a 2-2 draw." - Asst. Coach Shon Kezele
Match Outcome Predictions: 2-0 Loss , 2-2 Draw
Matchday 4
Nojika vs. Stralphi @ Council Stadium, Tivali City
"I think that if we play the ball quickly to feet and don't play around with it, we will be able to get around Stralphi's tough defence. I think this will be a close match for us with a 2-1 win in the end." - Head Coach Randy Mulder
"Stralphi's got a great defence and a preety decent offence. This game will come after we play the Druids and I don't know that our boys will have the energy to come out and beat this team like they'll need to. I think this may be a 1-0 loss." - Asst. Coach Randy Mulder
Match Outcome Predictions: 2-1 Win , 1-0 Loss
Matchday 5
Sarzonia vs. Nojika @ Jlinal Cove Complex, Jlinal
"This game should be little problem for our boys. We've definetly played harder teams and won, I think this will be a 2-0 win." - Head Coach Randy Mulder
"Oh, our offence is going to love this game. It's going to be a free-for-all offensivly, hell, our defenders may get a chance to score here. This will be a 4-0 win, and I think our new defender, Shane Follett, will score in this one." - Asst. Coach Shon Kezele
Match Outcome Predictions: 2-0 Win , 4-0 Win
Clearly, both coaches have an extreme amount of confidence in their team and when asked if they were being generous or if they actual thought these may be the outcomes of the game, Head Coach Mulder replied saying that, "We've been working for a great amount of time now together as a team. Over the past couple of weeks we've grown closer as a family and bonded. I've seen an incredible amount of trust growing amongst the older players with our new young additions to the team and I believe this trust we'll show on the field." Asst. Coach Shon Kezele then ended the brief meeting saying this, "This team will prove to be one of the best this region has ever seen. It may not be this season, but in the near future, this team, as it stands now, will prevail with countless victories and will become an idol for teams to come. Thank-you..."

This Document was released today by VOIA following research on the planned assasination of Krytenian sportscaster John Nwoko
| QUOTE |
Official Discovery and Findings Report
Assasination of Mr. John Nwoko
Location :: Owls National Stadium, Yeaddin
Hosts :: KBS Broadcasting via Yeaddin Owls AFC
Affiliate Nations :: Xile, Crystilakere
VOIA Intelligence specialists have determined that initial reports on the assasination of KBS Broadcaster John Nwoko by a coalition of Xilan and Crystilakere Snipers have been off the mark. While originally thought to take place during the opening Krytenia v. Xile matchup, it is now believed that the Xilan government has laxed it's position on the matter, and will wait to see what kind of mood they are in following the match before deciding whether to go ahead with the plan. It is believed that the only thing that can prevent the assasination from going forward would be a 2+ goal victory for the Bullet Wounds.

Ahmed Not Worried By Stralphi Predictions
New Vic's striker says their 'analysts' are well off
As part of our exlusive interview with the Vic's new striker Ahmed Ol-wairain, we asked him about Starblaydia's chances in the Atlantian Oceania Cup of Association Football.
"I think we have the potential to perform well, though we're certainly underdogs in this tournament."
VV: What are the Facilities like in Vilita?
"They've always been very good, and it's obvious that Vilitians love their football, they've hosted more than one tournament in their history, and may even co-host the next World Cup, which can only be good for us neighbouring countries."
VV: How does it feel coming to play for the Vics?
"They're a famous team, mostly because of Ryan Garry, who has been a phoenomenal player over the last few years."
VV: How do you feel about the first game against Stralphi?
"Well we've all heard the reports from their so-called Analysts, but those analysts obviously haven't been following any international tournaments. Starblaydia has been Vilita's main rival for a while, but that isn't really reflected in the team we've sent out this time, what with the World Cup qualifiers going on at the same time."
VV: So you'd prefer to be at the World Cup Qualifiers?
"Of course, that tournament is the biggest in the wrold, it's every player's dream to play in it. But I wasn't selected for that tourney, probably because i was in the Vilitan Beta Division-equivalent. I think we don't really have the strength in depth of many other big teams that we aspire to, not yet anyway."
VV: And finally, Ahmed, what will the score be in our first match?
"A win for Starblaydia. I'll probably won't start, but I'll be determined to come on and score a goal, hopefully the winner."
VV: Ahmed Ol-wairain, thankyou.

*The groupings for the AOCAF cup are handed to Druid managers Trevor Kallins and Simon Greaves*
SG: "Who've we got then, Trev?"
TK: "Well, Sarzonia are first. One of their guys, Darwin Russell, plays for Parkville."
SG: "Well, that should be easy enough, we just ask his team mates what to do to stop them. I'm sure Amos'll tell us."
TK: "Don't be so sure... since he's come over here, he's been one of the star players in the league."
SG: "Amos Hinton'd stop him any day! Next..."
TK: "Next we have Turori."
SG: "Easy, they're recruting players from our second division, they can't be much good!"
TK: "Don't be so sure... a lot of their players play in Vilita, and they're not bad at all. In fact, it's almost a home tournament for them."
SG: "Who else we got?"
TK: "Nojika."
SG: "Not famous for their football, next."
TK: "Ah, so that's why we always used to get beat by teams not as notorious as ourselves. It's the wrong attitude to have, Greavesie, all games are tough at international level, but if you approach these things in the right mental state, it sure helps."
SG: "But Trev, we used to get beat by everyone, so it was never a problem back then. It'll be simple, trust me."
TK: "I don't, but we'll continue... Starblaydia after that."
SG: "Now that's a tough one, but still, we'll probably get something out of it."
TK: "And finally, Stralphi"
SG: "I didn't know Stralphi had a team!"
TK: "Actually, on this occassion, I'll let you off, I didn't realise that either!"
SG: "So when we've run away with the group, then what?"
TK: "Quarters, then semis, then the final if we get that far..."
SG: "You mean when we gat that far, Trev."
TK: "The teams in AO are a lot better than they were four years ago, Greavsie, this aint no walk in hte park we're going to here, this is serious business. If we don't play to our best, we'll get laughed out of town, and we wouldn't wish that on the lads, would we?"
*At this point, they both stop and think of the number of times this happened in their early playing days with the Druids, which shuts them both up. So we'll leave them to do whatever they have to do to get them ready.* |

Opening Match Curse Lifted?!
Look look! We're in a qualifying position after one game!
7th time not-unlucky as Starblaydia overcame their international curse of losing every opening match of a tournament since they began competing. This 2-2 draw marks the first time the Blades have Played 1, and have a points score other than 0.
All the pundits were proved wrong as the Blades failed to slay the Dragons in Tivali's Council Stadium, though the Dragons didn't set the Blades alight either. Steve Owens provided the first strike as he fired past 'keeper Ral Terla on the half-volley after a lovely cross from Boomer Moore on the right, who was starting his first international match since the halcyon days of his Under-21 career.
It only took Stralphi twelve minutes to equalise. Captain Ral Seltis, capitalising on an uncharateristic mistake by 34 ear-old Stephen Asante, rounded the keeper and prodded the ball home as youngster Ceri Salisbury tried in vain to keep the ball out of the net with a sliding block.
Right at the end of the first half, Pel Altis was on the end of a lovely ball from Sam Lundin, which left him well clear of the Starblaydi defence, who were slow to drop back. Try as he might, Boaz Myhill couldn't save the shot and Altis scored, the ball going in from off the far post. Stralphi went in at half-time on a high with a 2-1 lead over the Blades.
In the second half, try as they might, Starblaydia couldn't get past the defence. That was until Ahmed Ol-wairain came on. Winning his first Cap for Starblaydia, he also had predicted he would score the winning goal. As Guylain N'Dumbu-Nsungu got tired and needed to come off, Ol-wairain came on and found the equaliser two minutes before the end.
It came after a Philip Ifil shot from around thirty-five yards. Terla lost the flight of the ball in mid-air and his attempted catch bobbled to quick-reacting Ol-wairain, who poked the ball into the net for a 2-2 draw.
This leaves Starblaydia 4th in Group 2 with one point, ahead of high-ranked colonists Turori and Baptism of Fire winner Sarzonia. A win against Nojika, who defeated Turori, would ceement Starblaydia's quest for qualification, though a defeat would probably mean bottom of the table for the Blades.
Final Score:
Starblaydia 2 - 2 Stralphi
(Owens 14, Ol-wairain 88) - (Seltis 26, Altis 44)

Stars dimmed in 2-0 loss
The Sarzonian national team may have had other things on their mind entering this tournament. They are in the midst of World Cup qualifying and currently lead their group and the AOCAF tournament couldn't have come at a worse time. The Stars fell flat in their match against group leader and defending champions NEWI Cefn Druids, falling 2-0 and ending the team's 13 match unbeaten streak.
"We just didn't come out ready to play this match," Coach Bryan Marshall fumed. "We came in thinking we could beat these guys because we hadn't lost since the Vilita match. We got our hats handed to us in a big way."
Forward Trevor Belmore struck first for the Druids, sailing an accurate free kick into the upper right corner of the net that left goalkeeper Troy Perkins no chance in the 18th minute. The kick was accurate in spite of the Stars' inexplicable yelling "Trevor!" just as the forward was set to begin his kick, drawing a caution for Marshall.
"We were trying to pull out all the stops," Marshall said. "So many of their guys are named Trevor that we had to try something. Obviously, that didn't work too well."
Midfielder Bill Posters added insurance in the 90th minute with a brilliant counterattack after midfielder Jeff Conley lost the ball to defender Ron Lambeale.
"That was a horrible mistake on my part," Conley said. "But give Lambeale credit. He did a great job to win the ball."
"We're going to have to play a lot better to do well in this tournament," Stars' midfielder and captain Bobby Convey said. "This is the first time we've lost our opening match in a tournament and we want to make sure we don't fall into too large a hole."

Crystils Tame Jungle Cats
National View Stadium, Morata Valley - The First ever International Match at Inland Peaks National View Stadium in the Morata Valley region was an entertainin, but ultimately dissapointing affair for the hosts. The Jungle Cats were obviously the stronger side at the start of the match, with Inexperienced Jlinal Wanderers midfielder Antonis Ratuva, the media favorite to replace Jurgen Ramzi should he retire following World Cup 17, opened his International scoring account 13 minutes in with a blazing 25 yard effort that Crystils keeper Emilliano Addis had no chance of stopping. The Jungle Cats maintained their advantage, both on the field and the scoreboard through half time. Stand-In Coach Emzari Mbidzo made one substitution at the half, replacing Yeaddin Owls productive forward Jan Christiansen with Experienced veteran Jim Vella, looking for a last edge of Fitness before the Jungle Cats important world cup qualifier in Audioslavia.
-----------Strong defensive play from Sibusiso Azaïez protected the Vilitan advantage just minutes into the second half, as goalkeeper Bryan 'Pop' Duiker was caught off his line, but the recent Yeaddin Owls signing intervened brilliantly to put the ball behind for a Crystilakere corner. Coach Mbidzo made another change with 25 minutes remaining, taking out youthful midfielder Sublé Tonic and replacing him with Left Winger Malovar Stokks. The change seemed to Disrupt the midfielder however, with two predominantly Left Sided players, Stokks and Calaesa Mitaroka, clashing on the field. The Crystils took advantage on 72 minutes when Sebastian Wolf connected with a Rene' Niljssen free kick to level the scores to the delight of the 8,500 strong travelling support. They would have reason to cheer once again 8 minutes from time as Breakthrough Crystils Striker Toader Pold out paced the youthful Ricky Ezis and slotted past a helpless Duiker to give the former Regional Delegates a historic win over their Former Arch-Rivals in their First AOCAF Meeting.
Vilita Jungle Cats (3-5-2) ::
[GK] Bryan 'Pop' Duiker, [D] Sibusiso Azaïez, [D] Ricky Ezis, [D] Esemar Aliana, [DM] Antonis Ratuva, [M] Calaesa Mitaroka, [M] Tanner Nerni, [M] Sublé Tonic, [M] Marasent Sioane, [F] Jan Christiansen, [F] Hluali Mijatos

PEDRIANA 2 - 2 Lamoni
Llamas Make Promising Opening
TUROKI CITY, Vilita -- In their first ever international sporting event, the Pedriana Llamas managed to come away with a point by drawing with Lamoni at two goals each.
Paris Canetta would be the one to open the scoring with a chip over goalkeeper William Nakaaki in the 23rd minute. Though the Lamoni players argued that Canetta was offside at the time, the referee would hear none of it and let the goal stand. Not to be outdone, Lamoni forward Howard Sims tried a similar shot of his own, but J.C. Steich was a little bit quicker on the uptake and thwarted the shot. It wasn't long before they tried again, and this time Jason Dreweck managed to curve his shot behind Steich and into the goal. Going into halftime, the score was tied at one.
Disaster came for the Llamas early in the second half when 28-year-old Chong Imbimbo improperly tackled a Lamoni striker in the box, conceding a penalty. Midfielder Joe Gilmore proceeded to take the penalty kick, which Steich couldn't handle.
It looked like it was over for Pedriana, but substitute striker Sol Svedine made his presence known in the 82nd minute with a monster kick from 25 yards out that overpowered the Lamoni keeper and tied the score once again. With no Lamoni retaliation, that's how it would stay.
"I'm impressed," said Olé Retaguma, the Tingitanan coach of the team. "I really didn't think we'd get a result the first time out, but this is a point we're certainly happy to have."
The next match is against Xile and will take place at National View Stadium in Morata Valley, Vilita.
Final score:
PEDRIANA 2 (Canetta 23, Svedine 82)
Lamoni 2 (Dreweck 34, Gilmore pen 51) |

"...Eurie Adams fires one at the net and...GOAL! Thats going to about wrap this one up for the Bullet Wounds..." The radio is abruptly turned off.
"Hmm. Good. Halt the assassination of John Nwoko. No point in carrying it through now. We seemed to speak well enough with our play, no need to speak with death. Put sentries at the doors of the players, a victory party is most definately not in order. Make sure they do not leave their rooms and that they are asleep at a decent hour. They have to ready themselves mentally for the next match," mutters President Lauir.
"Oh, and send coach Maxelli the pictures of our former coach Patterson. The post-mortem ones. Have to make sure he keeps the bigger picture foremost." |

Lamoni 2 - Pedriana 2
Hawks make good start in Tourney
Turoki City, Vilita (Nephi Times)-- With the first game of the AOCAF II tourney under their belt, the Lamoni Hawks came away with a 2-2 draw.
The first goal of the game came from Pedriana's Canetta at 23 minutes. Lamoni players thought that Canetta was offsides at the time (later analysis of the pictures show that it was VERY close), but the referee ruled that the goal would stand. The Hawks got revenge 34 minutes into the match when Jason Dreweck curved his shot behind the enemy goalkeeper, and scored. The match was tied 1-1 at halftime.
Pedriana got in trouble in the second half when one of their players, Chong Imbimbo; improperly tackled a Lamoni player, conceeding the penalty. Midfielder Joe Gilmore took the penalty shot, which was too hot for Steich (Pedriana's goalkeeper) to handle (pen, 51). This put Lamoni up 2-1, and it looked bad for Pedriana. The defenses took over for much of the rest of the half, until Pedriana's Svedine scored at 82 minutes. The rest of the half proved to be an "I can do better saves than you can" match for the goalies, Nakaaki and Steich. As time ran out, the match was a draw at 2-2.
Coach Matthews had this to say: "I'm very proud of what we were able to accomplish today. We proved to others that we are not pushovers, and can take what comes our way. We were able to get a draw in our first international tournament game, and hopefully, we'll be able to build on that."
Lamoni: Dreweck 34, Gilmore (pen) 51
Pedriana: Canetta 23, Svedine 82 |

THE YELLOW PERIL
KRYTENIA got off to the worst possible start in Group One of the AOCAF II Championship, losing two-one to AOCAF I also-rans Xile. The Celestials underestimated the opposition, put out a second-string team, and paid the price.
Xile had the run of the first half, taking a deserved lead through Steven Daron on 21 minutes. Daron's crisp shot from the edge of the box sealed a crisp and rapid counter-attack.
Krytenia did manage to pull the scores level before half time. Trent Dubilasco popped a cross over, and Roger Celsen volleyed past the Xilian keeper and into the back of the net.
The winning goal, though, came eight minutes from the end. Galvin Wilson's corner was only half cleared by Müller, and Eurie Adams' shot was past Quentin John before he even saw it.
KRYTENIA - 1
Celsen 41
XILE - 2
Daron 21
Adams 82
NWOKO HOSPITALISED
John Nwoko is being kept overnight in hospital this evening after receiving internal injuries in an incident at a bar in Yeaddin, Vilita.
Nwoko was drinking with a few members of the KBS technical crew when he was set upon by a group of Xilian fans. He was brutally beaten, and left in a crumpled heap, bleeding heavily and draped in a yellow "Bullet Wounds" jersey. The full extent of Nwoko's injuries have not yet been revealed.
Two Xilians were arrested last night, however charges have not yet been formally brought forward.

The Daily Druid
DRUIDS TRICK STARS
Wayne Ottgunn-Irwin reports on Sarzonia 0 NEWI Cefn Druids 2
An unusual Druids side took to the field against Sarzonia in their opening match of their defence of the AOCAF cup, in that it only contained one player with the forename Trevor (though also one with the surname Trevor, too.) They lined up in a 3-5-2 formation, like so:
| CODE |
1. Garth
5. R. McDonald 6. Lambealle 22. Hinton
7. Posters 21. Leicester 12. Holmes
4. Orange 14. J.P. Trevor
8. Belmore 13. Gessemschmitthaagen-Po
|
In the end, the Druids came out with a two-nil victory, but it was the unexpected team selection that had people confused. Co-manager Simon Greaves explained afterwards, "Well, it worked, didn't it? Actually, we got a tip-off saying that they had a plan that they would randomly shout out "Trevor!" to confuse us, but as you can see, it didn't really work. But it's OK for us now. In the past, we never had back up players good enough to come intop the team, now we do, and you saw what they can do today."
So, will we be seeing anymore unusual Druid teams in the upcoming AOCAF fixtures? "You'll have to wait and see," said Greaves, not giving anything away. "But we won't just go ahead and do it for no reason - it's a deliberate tactic to create confusion amongst opposition teams who have prepared to face the usual Druids team, only to come up against an entirely different proposition." We'll see who lines up against Turori in their next game.

Gathering the team around him at the team's adopted bar, Coach Matthews hoisted a drink and said:
"We did a good job out on the field today, guys. Today's draw is VERY important. Not only did it make us look good, but we can build on it and get a win against Crystilakere. Make no mistake, it will not be easy to win against Crystilakere, but I think that we have the right team to do it. We will have to be on top of our game, and not make mistakes. If we do that, we'll have a shot at winning. Got that?"
There was a chorus of affirmative replies, but then someone in the bar shouted:
"You guys couldn't score if your target was the broadside of a barn!"
Looking around to see who had made that comment, they saw a half-way drunk man wearing a patch of the flag of Crystilakere on his jacket. Continuing, he noted:
"Sure you got a draw against Pedriana, but there is no way that you rookies could take on a REAL team. Why, we eat fools like you for breakfast!"
"Is that so?," the coach asked "then why don't you show it on the field, and put your money where your mouth is."
Getting out of his chair, the guy came over and stood face to face with the coach. In his most arrogent tone of voice, he replied: "I'm not even sure that you have the money to lose." After that, he took a swing at the Lamoni coach, who blocked it.
"I would advise you not to try something that stupid again," the coach said in an angry voice, "you never know where the next blow could come from."
Drunkenly furious now, the guy took another swing, and summoned more of his Crystilakere friends at a nearby table, which started a bar fight. Jason Paul and Robert Anderson waded into the middle of the fight in a bid to try to stop it before it got out of hand, but were hit repeatedly for their efforts. Seeing their teammates go down, the rest of the Hawks went in, and the fight began in earnest. Blows landed, and were blocked. Bodies were seen flying into the air, and the fighters used anything that they could find for weapons, including beer bottles, and table legs. About seven minutes later, the local cops showed up, and tried to break the fight up. When that was accomplished, though it required police reinforcements, the lead cop looked at both groups with much annoyance and asked:
"Okay, who started this?"
When no one else would say anything, Coach Matthews told the cop about what had happened, and promised that the players from Lamoni would never do something like that again. Almost satisfied that it was the group from Crystilakere who started the fight, he had a Crystilakereite confirm the story. After he had done so, he stated:
"Here is what we are going to do. Since it was the Crystilakereites that started this, we're taking them to jail. However, both groups will have to pay monetary damages to the bar's owner. It's up to him to decide whether or not any of you can stay here, agreed?"
Coach Matthews readily agreed to the cop's proposal, and sent the team onto their bus to get them back to their hotel, where they would hopefully behave themselves. He then payed the bar owner the damages, and thought to himself, What a disgraceful lack of control. The president will NOT like this at all. Not only that, but we just created a minor international incident. We'll be walking on thin ice for quite a while. Hell, I might even lose my job. Still, i'm going to dock the pay of all the players involved in order to pay me back for all of this.
With that, the coach called a taxi, which took him back to his hotel, where the team would rest for the game with Crystilakere. He'd dock the player's pay tommorow. He only hoped that he did not lose his job. |

The two Jungle Cat defeats kept the Crystils out of the World Cup, and forced them into the Cup of Harmony, where there first match was against none other than their North-Western Rivals. Again it would be the Atlantian Oceania founders on top, goals by Banda again and Jurgen Ramzi setting the Vilitans on course to their first trophy, the 14th Cup of Harmony.

With both sides fielding second-string squads, with the first team deep into tight world cup qualification battles, The odds on money was on the Vilitans as the match kicked off in Morata Valley. It only took them 13 minutes to open the scoring too, when Ramzi's understudy Antonis Ratuva scored his first career goal to put the Jungle Cats into an early 1-0 lead. They would hold that lead until late in the second half, when Sebastian Wolf, making his first ever appearance for the Crystils in a Senior-Level event would dramatically level the scores with less than 20 minutes to go. Then, Breakthrough striker Toader Pold would send the Crystils into an historic celebration with his 82nd minue winner that not Crystili Sports fan will forget for years to come.
