    Big Bad Badger reacted to Dilber in RE: GORD   
    For days I have been ruminating on the legislation sent to me concerning Gord.  On this date, 11/25/2021, I've received your mixed-vote petition, and have come to a decision concerning Gord.  Gord is hereby pardoned for all crimes in the West Pacific, and shall be set free.
    Unfortunately, it turns out that we don't have any sort of treaties with the entity known as "Canada", and he has not been pardoned for his crimes of being delicious there.  Also, it turns out their petition date was like a month ago and I'm pretty sure his goose has been cooked.
     
    Rest assured, your delegate is doing everything in his power to repatriate his delicious remains, preferably by about 4 PM today.
     
    Dilber, Platypus Delegate of the West.

    Heyo Dilber!
     
    You came back to be delegate? LOL! 
    The more things change, the more they stay the same.

    It's great to be working with TWP! We've had an unprecedented expansion of diplomacy lately, and we're glad that a new partnership with TWP is a part of it. The next issue of our newspaper is planned to be out this Sunday, glad you liked it.

    "Right Where We Need To Be"
    The Badger's gaffer calmly said after this morning's walk through. "The squad is well rested. Our rotations are working well. Everyone is focused and ready." Badgeria has largely stayed out of the drama of the World Cup. No big fanfare, not many fans. Although viewership is through the roof back home, there's more of a subdued vibe here and that is just what the team wants. "We don't need to harsh our mellow, it's early in this tournament. When we get to the knockout stage, our fans will be here en masse."
    Will the Badgers continue this workman like tournament play? Right now the are looking confident and calm!

    Editorial: These Damn Dopey Dogs
    It's again.
    No, it's not insurrection in Zoran, or political campaigns in Overthinkers.
    It's another Dilberian doping scandal.
    Coming hot on the heals of a horrendous Rugby World Cup in the country, Dilber asked the world to hold its PED for the 1421 World Cup of Football.
    It's hard to determine if any Dilberian athletes are not implicated in the incessant doping scandals as it was the 1420 national rugby squad showed up on the pitch. Such an odd showing leaves many wondering if the nation has any other athletes or even the ability to properly engage in the wider world.
    The United Kingdom's Office of Sport issued a press release announcing an indefinite ban on Dilberian representation in future Cambrian-hosted international events. The Dilber flag, name and anthem likewise won't be permitted.
    "They've doubled down on their desire to be the world's doping pariah. May the Lady bless them; they can have it." said Vernon Bolber when asked for comment.

    "Hello, everyone! From Steskia, United Adaikes, we at Santo-Dominian Cable-Satellite Network Channel 3 bring you live coverage of the 1st World Cup of Football! Our coverage of WCF1 is brought to you by our generous sponsor, +238flowers, because flowers are appropriate for every occasion, even the WCF! I, Approctoflecticus Blubberman, will be your host for the entire duration of WCF1. And we've just received news that the first match day has concluded and the results are in!"
    "Starting with the results in Group A. Let's look at this graphic here."

    "And we've got some pretty similar matches here! In the first match, our generous host United Adaikes beat fellow Polaris nation Teralyon by 2-1. The same happened in the second match, where the northern nation of Fujai beat our Auran friend Fuentana, also scoring a 2-1 victory. In the third match, however, we saw quite some action from both Nagaraningrad and K66...so much action that the match ended with a 1-1 tie! For more details and specifics, I will direct you to these countries' respective media outlets. Moving on to Group B!"

    "Speaking of ties, we've got two ties in Group B! In the first match, the teams from Giovanniland and Fhaengshia were both unable to best the other, resulting in a 1-1 tie. In the second match, Pallandole and Libterraria both failed to score even a point, resulting in a 0-0 tie. In the third match, however, the strong team from Dalimbar pulled ahead of their competent opponents from Larxia and managed to win a 4-3 victory! Now, let's get to Group C!"

    "Some great matches in Group C! The team from Zoran, despite hailing from internal strife in their homeland, managed to persevere and win a 2-0 victory against the players of Irador! The football team coming from Italia posed a strong challenge, but failed to win against Hertfordshire and Jammbo, losing in a 2-3 match. Finally, we have another tie, this time with Arifiyyah and Reçueçn both unable to score points throughout their entire match, resulting in a 0-0 tie. Now, it's time to move on to the results for Group D!"

    "In this first match day, Group D was where the drama and the action was at! In the first match, the great team from our homeland, Santos-Dominius, handily defeated Alchera and won a 4-0 victory, the second-biggest margin of victory so far. Woo! In the second match, the players from the Polaris country of Badgeria pummelled the team from Nieubasria, winning a 6-1 victory in the most lopsided match in the entire World Cup of Football so far! Good job to Badgeria! In the third match, our Auran friends from Dilber faced off against the giant Polaris nation of Tara and Cambray. Notably, both teams were able to hold their own against each other, and managed to prevent the opposing team from scoring any points at all, resulting in a 0-0 tie."
    "And that concludes Match Day 1! As we eagerly wait for Match Day 2, let's review the general situation of the teams. In Group A, Fujai and United Adaikes have emerged as the stronger teams, while K66 and Nagaraningrad hold their own. Both Fuentana and Teralyon, however, are in a bit of danger due to their losses. In Group B, Dalimbar has become the clear leading force, though Fhaengshia, Giovanniland, Libterraria and Pallandole are all respectable opponents. Larxia, however, will have to do some catching-up if it desires to stay in the WCF and advance to the next rounds and the finals."
    "In Group C, Zoran and Hertfordshire & Jammbo are the frontrunners! Arifiyyah and Reçueçn are also doing a good job. Italia and Irador, unfortunately, are in danger of getting eliminated from the WCF, and must utilise their strengths if they are to make comebacks and win the competition. In Group D, Badgeria and our home country, Santos-Dominius, are the leading teams! Woo! Both Dilber and Tara & Cambray are also doing quite well. Sadly, Alchera and Nieubasria are at danger of being eliminated due to their heavy defeats, and will have to put in all of their effort if they are to survive and thrive."
    "And that's it for Match Day 1! Congratulations to the winners and the leading teams, and 'good job' to the teams that are holding their own and doing well, though they may not be leading right now. As for the defeated teams, don't fret! It's only day 1, and you can still make comebacks and fight back, so don't worry, and keep fighting till the end! I'm Approctoflecticus Blubberman, and this was Match Day 1 of the 1st World Cup of Football. Stay tuned to SDCSN Channel 3 for coverage of the WCF, and see you tomorrow!"

    "Good morning viewers from Giovanniland and the West Pacific! I am Vanessa Desniowynsk and will be your Giovannilandian Football Report host during the 1st World Cup of Football." She briefly stops for a moment in order to show the landing airplane in which the Giovannilandiana Equipa is coming. "Watch out! Our football team has just arrived here in Steskia, United Adaikes, after a hours-long flight starting back home at the International Violet Airport in Urythburg. Soon they will be preparing for their first game against The Reds from Fhaengshia, which will take place at Sports Arena, Steskia."
    *landing airplane noises*
    "Oh, look! Our team's airplane has just landed and the players can be seen disembarking. First our main goalkeeper Clovis Espindola, then the backup goalkeepers... now the defenders, then the midfielders, and finally the strikers!" A fair number of fans cheer from afar when the three main strikers appear — Gustavo Goethe Zapata, Pedro Takeda, and Clementine de Abreu-Floryn — which are among the youngest members of the Giovannilandiana Equipa and also rising celebrities on social media. "At last," continues Vanessa, "the entire team has disembarked and is now entering the inner airport, where they will then travel to a training site near Steskia to prepare for their game."
    *Vanessa disappears from the screen and the renowned sports TV presenter Carlos Nakamura-Edristyn appears*
    "Alright, so we've just had live coverage of our national team arriving in United Adaikes," says Carlos while more information about the Giovannilandian team appears on the screen. "Now back in Giovanniland, you will now see interesting information about the Giovannilandiana Equipa! Our team is part of Group B together with the nations of Giovanniland, Pallandole, Larxia, Dalimbar, Libterraria, Fhaengshia. As my colleague Vanessa said earlier, we'll be playing all the group stage games at the Sports Arena in the city of Steskia, and our first game will be against the Andolian nation of Fhaengshia." The screen then switches to display other interesting data. "There will be 5 matchdays during the group stage, and Giovanniland needs to stay in the top four of the group in order to advance to the knockout stage. Then there will be a round of 16, quarterfinals, semifinals, and finally the coveted Final and the 3rd Place Match."
    Carlos then pauses a second time, now to show the revealed Giovannilandian lineup for the first game against Fhaengshia. "Here it is: the Giovannilandian lineup for the 1st Matchday tomorrow! It seems our coaches Rodrigo von Violetshire and Tania Abrantar have chosen a 3-3-4 lineup for this game, which can be seen below:"

    "As you can see, with the Giovannilandiana Equipa's style mod of +5 and a 3-3-4 lineup, it seems the match will have many goals. The coaches could even move Gabriela Orpheus from the midfield to the attack to form a 3-2-5 if needed, though I assume this will only be needed if Fhaengshia scores but Giovanniland doesn't." The lineup then disappears from the screen, and Carlos finishes: "Alright viewers, that is all for today! Tomorrow we will prepare a special report on the Giovannilandian match against The Reds from Fhaengshia. See you then!" The screen then briefly shows the logo of the Giovannilandian Football Report before moving on to sports-unrelated news.
