The second and final round of friendlies offers one final chance for teams to tune up. There are some pretty pleasing matches on the platter, including...
Inter Beleriand vs Doriath- Beren and Luthien against Elwe and Melian- will it be fun and spirited, or a bit awkward?
Gondor vs Minas Tirith- Both of these teams are popular with the citizens of the southern realm. Some root for both, but some have a particular favorite. Who will have the bragging rights, and which fans will have to buy their fellows drinks?
The Sea vs FC Valinor- Ulmo and his Numenorean partners take on Yavanna and her Noldor partners. It's careful precision and stout defense versus unfettered quickness and skill- a reason for any football fan to watch.
Valimar vs Real Valinor- The defending champs take on the Elder King, aka Arien faces her old squad.
Angband vs Tirion- Morgoth and his team of evil versus King Finwe and his subjects, many of whom abandoned the blessed realm of old in order to claim vengeance on Morgoth for the slaying of Finwe.
Gondolin vs Hithlum- Hurin and Huor return to the hidden kingdom, where their son/nephew Tuor and his wife await. It's a recipe for a hard, clean game with great talent on display.
Armenelos vs AC Beleriand- The men of Numenor take on Feanor and friends- perpetual powers collide. Though the teams aren't identical to what they were, some are calling it a rematch of the Arda Cup final of four season ago.
