You're a little late to the party buddy. All 32 slots have been filled up (though a lot is depending on when New Zealand and Nova Hollandia can finish up)

 

[Pragmatic Progressive]

Haven't we got only 31 teams? Also, where/when has New Zealand been posted?

 

[Pragmatic Progressive]

Thinking it better, I'll stick just with Venice, as it seems that we're almost full either way.

Did some searching in this thread, and @Capibara has rescinded their claim on New Zealand. New Zealand is not a nation participating, and thus, @lotrian 's nation is fully valid.

OK that checks out. But we still need Nova Hollandia to be hashed out.

 

[Pragmatic Progressive]

I would rate as World Cup favourites:

- Antarctique
- United Neutral Team
- French National Union
- San Paulo
- Celtic Union
- Nova Hollandia (if they will participate)
- Macedonian Empire?
- Venice?
- Mexican Empire?

Who would you see as favourites?

The Philippines would definitely count as a mid-tier state (mainly because soccer is the third-most popular sport in the country (behind both baseball and basketball))

 

[Aztekk]

I'd put my money on these countries:

-France
-San Paolo
-Provence
-Nova Holland
-United Neutral
I'd say Mexico, the Philippines, and Antartique have big potential. As wild cards, I think Wales and the Venetian Republic.

Flag for Viti

 

[Baconheimer]

Yeah, we’ll use the République Antarctique

 

[Capibara]

Indeed, I rescinded my claim.

 

[justinNL]

Did you send the full post like with the team information and the country information?

I was asking for permission to claim Nova Hollanda as a second team.
But is seems it made it to the worldmap. I'll upload the rest of the info in the original post.

Correct me if im wrong but it seems we have too many teams. Orange denotes second entries, red denots third entries. Also note that the game was opened to second entries after team 24.

Just to remind, is this the new list as I have counted it's 32 teams to me?

Do remind me if this list is wrong.

 

[Pragmatic Progressive]

Do remind me if this list is wrong.

It lacks Provence, as far as I can see.

Who is prepared to give up a team? Or should we kick out the last team posted (which would be Nova Hollandia)?

That would be unfair since I claimed it before Milan was posted.
