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.
