AH World Cup

[Rubberduck3y6]

With the football (soccer) World Cup in South Africa less than a month away, I thought it would be a fun idea to run a parallel AH World Cup.

To start off we need up to 32 teams. Post a team for an AH country - sort of like the Countries of an Alternate World treads but with football teams.

Once we've got the teams, they'll be put into groups of 4 and the tournament will start. I'm not sure of the best way to simulate the matches, maybe with a dice roll or random number? Or has someone else got a better idea? Anyway, after the groups stages the AH World Cup will follow the same format as the RL World Cup until we crown the first winners of the AH World Cup.

I hope this'll work OK. I'll start off with the Cornwall national football team:
Team: Cornwall
Nickname: The Pirates
Home Stadium: Truru National Stadium
Home Kit: Black shirt and white shorts
Away Kit: Yellow shirt and black shorts



Please follow a similar format to this. Badges and kits can be included but aren't essential.

Are we assuming qualifying rules are more or less the same ATL - e.g. the hosts get an automatic place, five from CAF, four from AFC, thirteen from UEFA, three from CONCACAF, four from CONMEBOL, and then one from AFC Vs OFC playoff and CONCACAF Vs CONMEBOL playoff?

I did think about the problem of qualification, but I decided to leave it open to allow people to post teams from whatever geographic area they want (although it would be good to have at least one team from each continent). I'll randomly pick the host when I put the teams into groups.

Football Federations aren't that geographic (Asian Australia and European Kazakhstan for a start), so shouldn't really be too much of a problem anyway

Argh.

Well, okay. One mythological beastie substituted for another one.

On the general subject, I always wondered what kind of football mayhem one might have if all the RF constituent republics could have their own football federations.
