A very creative Formendacil, you say? I don't believe I've ever met one.

You're too kind, Valesse.

Pending an inquiry Smaug has been suspended from the
team. The Iron Hills consortium ownership
has tentatively elected to replace the prima donna dragon
with Ancalagon the Black or Sacatha the Worm who, while superb
athletes, have never performed at Middle-earth level competition.

Those are some lovely group breakdowns there. I will try and get the fantasy rules and such sorted out and up on a thread tonight or tomorrow during the day. I will also give an *official* team by team breakdown to help you decide what to expect from teams. Not that two defensive teams can't have an unusual day and play a 4-3 game, but I will try and tell you what sort of thing is most likely from teams and players.

Spread word to other Downers about what we are going to be doing here. After the fantasy thread is up I will post the complete game schedule here for group play.

GROUP F
AMON RHUD
ARMENELOS
HELM'S DEEP
TANIQUETIL (H)

No fair. Even if the other three teams can carry anakronistic oxygen tanks up Taniquetil, their playing will still be severely hampered. At least Amon Rudh is a bit accustomed to playing in heights, but still.

There's always controversy surrounding Taniquetil's matches, that's for sure. Opponents have all too often connected dubious refereing decisions favouring the world champions with MEFA president Eru Illuvatar's affilation to the team. Quite a few eyebrow's were raised after the draw as they once again get to play in front of their home support at altitude, where most opponents will struggle in the thin air. Angband team captain and multiple ME footballer of the year Melkor has even called for Eru to resign, no doubt with intent of replacing him himself.

At last we know the real reason for Melkor's rebellion

Ooh, can I be the Head of the World Cup referees? Afterall, I think I am the most qualified and credible person for the job. Sorry to jump in and leave, but I can't miss my appointment with Mr. Donaghy.
