I object to your slanderous allegations, sir!

My papers have only two L's in yellow, not three!

We still don't know which player will round out the Tol In Gaurhoth squad. Anyone want to step up and solve the matter?

How about another of our potential new players that hasn't posted yet- Mnemo? Pitch? Going to vote?

Someone needs to break the tie.

In the meantime, I shall cast a vote for-
++Urwen

I've already used my five votes so I can't help, but I'd remind the next voter that it is a question of our goalkeeper, so pick carefully!

[Galadriel55]

It's a desparate fight! Whoever breakes the tie should watch his/her back

Me neither.

[mormegil]

++Shasta

Let's make it easy

[the phantom]

All right, we have it! The final roster! I will post the entire roster list for every team in just a bit....

[Galadriel55]

I hope no one minds...

I mean the EAisticle...

(I also included next to each team a couple words to describe their style. "Attacking", "defensive", "conservative", and "lockdown with lead" should be easy to understand. "Shifting" means they more commonly move up back players for offensive support and move back front players for defensive support. "Balance" on the other hand means they don't overhelp on either end. "Flexible" denotes situational changes in style based upon whether they're behind, tied, or leading. "Pressure" indicates they persue the ball aggressively and don't allow easy possession anywhere on the field. "Counter-attack" suggests that they often try quick transitions up to their front players when recovering possession, meaning long balls from the defense and deep runs from the forwards to instigate breakaway opportunities. "Possession" means that the team keeps opponents from scoring by owning the ball themselves and generally builds up attacks carefully with quick passes.)

I was considering to (and thanks for the invitations), but I see the matter has been resolved before I got home from work today - which is just as well, as I still don't have more of a clue about football than Sam Gamgee of tight-rope walking. I'll follow the thread as best I can and maybe jut in with a comment à la Formy from the tribune now and then, but that's about the best I can promise this year. Let's see what the future brings.

If a lack of football knowledge was a disqualifying factor, I surely wouldn't be doing this.
