      With mountains covering about 80% of the country, the people of Chile are already used to aiming high. The FIFA World Cup is no different. Hop on aboard the experience of a lifetime, where we take on the tiki-taka of Spain, the Dutch finesse of RVP and Robben, and...well... Australia. Progress to the latter stages of the tournament seems inevitable, and with 3 spots remaining, you better get in quick.

      Interested? Why of course you are! Comment below or email innsie@hotmail.co.nz to apply, all you need to state is your FFS name and why you should be a part of this golden generation of Chilean football. After all, the Chilean national teams nickname is El Equipo de Todos, which translates to 'Everybody's Team'. You're all welcome to join in the fun. 🙂

            PRESS RELEASE

            Team Portudogal have announced their squad fro WC game.

            player 1- BarKING (charles) NIL MISS- the Boneldo of the team, we are honoured to have the top dog of world football in our team. Blessed with natural skills, his famous four paws step over will fool all defenders.
            Being the only member who actually speaks portuguese he is also in charge of setting up some local lady dogs.
            player 2- KONIG LUTHER- a naturalized K9, defected (or maybe deficated) from team cameroon to become part of the pack. Showed his commitment by swimming doggy paddle from africa to portugal. He is beleived to be a cousin of King Nil Miss, so we will be only team to have relatives playing in same team (if you don't count Nate and thefantasyfreak as same person).
            player 3- STEVE- so good he is know by one name. A hard tackling boxer, believed to be named after steve bruce due to his resemblance, this dog takes no prisoners. Once he gets his teeth round the ball he won't let go, until the football comes near that is.
            player 4- A PUGS LIFE- or Helder Pugstino, a nippy attacking midfielder renowned for biting ankles. The crowds will love his dribbling skills, it will look like the ball is moving on its own, mainly due to it being bigger than him.

            As long as there aren't any trees or bushes within site of the pitch we will romp to victory in this tourney.

            our team motto- LET'S DO IT DOGGY STYLE
            our team song- WHO LET THE DOGS OUT

              On future signings, Captain Elninorules's personal assistant Jessica Alba had this to say: "We are in no hurry to recruit the full squad. At the end of the day, we just want to have a squad that is good on the ball and able to show chemistry on the pitch. We are looking urgently for a PR director though, as the press is giving us too much limelight at the moment"

              While the recruitment process of Honduras is going reasonably well, we are still in need of a vice captain. This is the opportunity to lead the ultimate underdog team to the World Cup. We are aiming to win the tournament and also have good banter and craic on here while doing it. So we need someone who is up for good banter, has the drive to be successful and is dedicated to the cause.

(He's a long term lurker and sporadic poster... but he beat me in our work ML this season after 2 seasons of ridicule (lol) so he has a bit of pedigree!)

              "He will join the aforementioned Demi and the proven management duo of TommyTours and SuperDunny out in their Miami training camp this evening."

              So.... we only have one spot remaining! I would suggest an X Factor type audition process or perhaps a #TeamEngland's Got Talent but unfortunately i am away for a week. So if you lot don't mind i'll leave it in my trusty vice captains hands (that's you Tommy!) to find us a gem of a last player and complete our quintet for world domination!

                            Haha, so I guessed.
                            I was confused for a second when people were talking about Molino Verde, and I was wondering how the newbie got so popular already 😛

                      Hello from the entire Nederlands contingent.

                      A team, already boasting of the likes of ardent Dutch fans in No Association Bergkamp Is Legend, Icon and Pompeyfan, we are just one man short from our full team.

                      I've received a lot of offers, but I've looked for passion more than a FPL rank, that will matter in this unpredictable game.

                      I've already shortlisted my options for the final spot, but if anyone thinks he is a true Oranje, why don't you shoot me a mail at saniul.haque@outlook.com.

                      So that the team can gel well, I'll officially announce my 5-man squad for the WC before tonight.

                      Ta.
