FFS UEFA World Cup – The Scouting Period

Following last week’s launch of the FFS World Cup 2014, we opened the game for captain applications. We would like to thank all the 48 applicants, who took the bold leap of faith towards captaincy. For those of you who applied to be captains but were not chosen, you can still participate in the game. If you were wanting more of a leadership role, feel free to talk to a captain and see if they could have you as a vice-captain.

After a series of intense discussions and drinking sessions in Brazil, the panel is proud to present the much-awaited list of captains:

Group A (Host: Isacki)

Please join us in congratulating the captains.

How can you join the fun?

Starting immediately, the captains are allowed to begin recruiting for their 5 team members, including the captain. Each team captain decides who we wants in his team from now until the 11th of Jun. So those interested in joining a team, please approach the respective captain.

You can always refer to the Cup Spreadsheet for more details and to keep up to date with the recruiting.

Special Feature:

For those who played in the Beach Soccer World Cup, you would remember the Live Scorecast developed by Pratik. You will be delighted to know that Pratik along with Isacki are looking to develop something similar for this game. Stay tuned!

Best of luck to all teams. Let the madness begin!

        I'll be honest. A team of Spain's stature is a bit too huge for me. I'm more of a underdog guy, so I think I'll pass. Good luck though.

French team have always done wonders in every 2nd world cup [every 8 years ]they played. Winners in 98, Runners up in 2006.. So am hopeful of something similar from Les Blues. Co-incidence or not, I am announced as the captain of French team for the World cup game here in FFS UEFA for which am very happy and proud.

So if any of you folks want to join my team, reply here or send me a mail to goonerdhanesh@gmail.com. I will surely consider if you are a worthy enough.

Really looking forward to the replies and building a more than decent enough team to compete in this tournament. Will be fun. 🙂

Greetings,
The La Tri camp are holding trials as part of our recruitment for the World Cup.

Do you think you have what it takes to play against the best in the world?
Do you think you can give Newmancini-eque banters?
Do you think your FPL season was not a true reflection of your skills?
Do you feel you could shoot to fame in FFS with your terrific displays?
Are you a lurker and you want to show the rest of the community what you can do?

If you feel you have what it takes, here is your glorious chance. Welcome to the Ecuador camp. All you have to do is send the following details-
*Your FFS name
*Your FPL team link
*And a short intro of yourself(in FFS/FPL terms) and why you are an apt candidate for La Tri.

to atulkrishnakumar110@gmail.com.

I am proud to announce Honduras are recruiting. I plan on defying the odds as the complete outsider team. Who wants to be a part of it? Together we will make a mockery of the the long odds. Think about this- you can say you helped Honduras to win a world cup. A damn impressive accomplishment. So instead of considering the top teams, join the ultimate underdogs.

So who wants to join the underdog team and make history? Anyone interested please let me know. My email is chris.s.1990.2014@gmail.com
