πριν από 18 ημέρεςTaking into account the acceptances of the rules, the final list of 12 qualifiers is as follows:
1 Sweden - 2 Croatia - 3 Finland - 4 Georgia - 5 Slovakia - 6 New Zealand
7 Slovenia - 8 South Africa - 9 Romania - 10 South Korea - 11 Jamaica - 12 Portugal
The top 4 teams qualify for the quarter-finals, where they will face the winner of a 1/8-final play-off between the teams ranked 5 to 12 according to the following table
1 v. Winner 8-9
4 v. winner 5-12
3. c. winner 6-11
2 v. winner 7-10
i.e. :
SWEDEN vs. winner SOUTH AFRICA - ROMANIA
GEORGIA v. winner SLOVAKIA - PORTUGAL
FINLAND v. winner NEW ZEALAND - JAMAICA
CROATIA v. winner SLOVENIA - SOUTH KOREA
The 1/8 final play-offs will take place on Monday 15 December.
NB; the 4 qualifiers for the quarter-finals can play a friendly match on Tuesday 16 December at the latest.
The 12 coaches have until 12 noon on Saturday 13 December to publish their 22-man shortlist here.
Any association failing to meet this deadline will be withdrawn from the competition.
To facilitate checks, the published lists must include the player's surname (optionally first name and relationship), the club to which they belong and the association to which they belong.
You can choose the most appropriate form for publishing your list (see posts from previous editions), but the presentation must be clear and above all unambiguous.
Once the list has been published, it cannot be modified (a player can be added, but a player can always be removed, which will reduce the list by 22).
A reminder:
Under penalty of automatic loss of match on the green carpet
- The presence of a player (even one who is not playing) outside the list of 22 is forbidden.
- Players who are progressing, even with a very low percentage, are strictly forbidden.
- Players on loan are forbidden (if they are loaned out during the competition - excluding IS matches, of course - the player becomes ineligible for selection).
- Selections must never have two players from the same club (if a player is transferred during the competition and your list is no longer compliant, you must remove him from your list without being able to replace him with a 23rd player).
- Selections must never include 5 players from the same agreement, aggregated with sister agreements (if a player is transferred during the competition, the same rule applies as above).
- Once submitted, the list cannot be changed, so it is advisable, but not compulsory, to provide 2 goalkeepers in case your No. 1 goalkeeper refuses selection or is transferred or loaned out.
A reminder for those unfamiliar with the finals:
Unlike matches in the 1st phase, matches are created manually, which means that players do not arrive at the match automatically if you have not previously called them up using the call-up button.
If you have any doubts, don't hesitate to do so twice, as you will be notified of the number of players called up after you have pressed the button. Alternatively, if you have any doubts, you can ask a club that has a player selected whether their player appears on the list of players called up.
We look forward to receiving your list of 22 players before noon on Saturday, so good luck to all those who have qualified!

πριν από 15 ημέρεςThe selection for Sweden was submitted after the deadline, but we'll bear with you!
Don't forget to validate your invitations for those playing in the 1/8 finals.
In the event of a draw, I would also remind you that you must send me 2 sets of penalty kicks and saves as soon as possible after the final whistle.
(The 2nd series is used in the event of a tie on the first series and is used in the form of sudden death).
In any case, a series of penalty kicks sent 24 hours after the end of the match will be too late and the match will be declared a winner for the opponent.

πριν από 13 ημέρεςAn update on the 1/8 finals and the rest of the competition
Slovakia-Portugal 2-0
#match?mid=6577563 1-4
#match?mid=6577564
A one-sided match, Slovakia controlled their game from start to finish and qualified thanks to two goals scored early in the second half by their striker Roland Mujkos.
New Zealand - Jamaica 1-4
#match?mid=6577564
Jamaica, who had already made their mark in the 1st phase with a fiery attack, continued in that vein by scoring in the very first minute. New Zealand tried to fight back, equalising in the 18th minute, but the Jamaican forwards came back strongly and regained the lead in the 30th minute. The match then evened out, but the Jamaicans finished with a bang and increased the score to 3 and then 4-1 in the final minutes, which was a heavy blow for the New Zealanders, who had not deserved to lose.
South Africa - Romania 1-1
#match?mid=6577561
The first half was spectacular, with plenty of chances on both sides, but the defences kept a close eye on them and half-time arrived with the score at 0-0.
Bis repetita in the second half, nothing was scored until South Africa finally opened the scoring in the 84th minute. We thought the match was over, but no, Romania, who had been ineffective until then, managed to equalise within 3 minutes, so it was a penalty shoot-out that the teams had to settle.
Shooting South Africa G - Stopping Romania C AFS 1 - ROU 0
Shooting Romania D - Stopping South Africa L AFS 1 - ROU 0
Shootout South Africa D - Stop Romania C AFS 2 - ROU 0

Shooting South Africa C - Stopped Romania C AFS 2 - ROU 0
Shooting Romania D - Stop South Africa G AFS 2 - ROU 0
Shootout South Africa D - Stop Romania D AFS 3 - ROU 0
It's over, Romania can't come back and South Africa gets its ticket for the 1/4 finals.


Slovenia - South Korea 0-0
#match?mid=6577565
Slovenia were hoping to dethrone the defending champions but their attacks were too timid to break the deadlock. As for the Koreans, although they created a number of chances over the course of the match, they failed to make the most of them, and it was therefore a penalty shoot-out that decided the tie between the two teams, who finished 0-0 at the end of normal time.
Shooting Slovenia C - Stoppage South Korea C SLO 0 - COR 0
Shooting South Korea D - Stopping Slovenia D SLO 0 - COR 1

Shooting South Korea L - Stopping Slovenia R SLO 3 - COR 3
Incredible comeback by the Slovenians, who were off to a bad start.
We go to sudden death in an unbearable suspense
Shooting Slovenia C - Stopping South Korea C SLO 3 - COR 3
We're not going to repeat ourselves, but once again the Korean shooter has the qualification at his feet.
Shooter South Korea C - Stop Slovenia G SLO 3 - COR 4
It's in, so South Korea qualify by the skin of their teeth against Slovenia, who can have a few regrets.

πριν από 12 ημέρεςHello, if he only makes one stop in the middle for 5 shots in the middle, how can I get 3?
Αυτό το μήνυμα έχει μεταφραστεί. (FR) Αρχικό Μήνυμα

πριν από 12 ημέρεςIndeed, there was a small reporting error, and unfortunately, it was a costly one. Korea's 1st save was "G", and it was reported as "C" by mistake, leading to a save on a Slovenian shot that shouldn't have been.
"Slovenia shot C - South Korea stop C SLO 0 - COR 0".
The result after the 5-shot session is normally a 4-3 Slovenian win (instead of 3-3), and therefore no sudden death (which leads to Korea's probable win, I haven't double-checked that said).
CF : 
From memory, it's impossible to cancel a match (or a very complicated one) if you've already been called up (which was the case for Croatia last night).
Having said that, as I haven't played a 5th match with Croatia due to lack of time, it's possible to consider another option thanks to what I'm proposing:
- Leave the Croatia-Korea match, which will count for nothing (to avoid a bug in the call-ups).
- Then reschedule the Croatia-Slovenia match asap (6th match for each federation)
And then go back to the classic route for the semi-finals and finals (7th and 8th matches for each federation).

πριν από 12 ημέρεςBlagoje Vidinic: Si c'est bon pour tout le monde, c'est bon pour moi. 😉
No worries, just check with Jeff. On the other hand, wouldn't scheduling the match before the other is played risk introducing a conflict between matches? If feasible, wouldn't it be safer to schedule the match on Saturday morning, once the players have returned to their clubs? (I'm writing down a memo to support the idea of calling the players on Saturday during the day in this scenario).
My only request, if possible, is that I don't schedule the game for Saturday 20/12, as I have a Christmas dinner planned for that date, so it's clearly impossible to keep up.

πριν από 9 ημέρεςSummary of the 1/4 finals
Sweden - South Africa 0-4
#match?mid=6583185
Sweden were seeded No. 1, but they only looked good at the start of the match, and the South Africans made light work of them from the moment they opened the scoring in the 36th minute.
After that, the goals kept coming, and all the more easily as Sweden found themselves down to 10 men from the hour mark. South Africa, regulars in the last four, will be there again this season.
Georgia - Slovakia 0-2
#match?mid=6583186
Slovakia gave the Georgians no chance, starting the match with a bang and after several chances, they opened the scoring in the 21st minute and doubled the lead shortly afterwards.
Georgia tried to respond by being very aggressive (4 cards during the match) but Slovakia were not really worried and it was another seed that fell with Slovakia's qualification.
Finland - Jamaica 1-1
#match?mid=6583190
The two teams were very wary of each other and we saw a very tight game (only 3 chances in total) in which the forwards were still effective (2 goals).
The game ended in a fairly logical draw and the teams had to settle the tie on penalties.

πριν από 6 ημέρεςIn the run-up to the semi-finals, I interviewed the last 4 coaches still in the running for their impressions.
Slovakia: Uzzego27 - Cercle de VF - OM ~©~
Finland: Guilain - RTG - Marcillac Vallon ~RTG~
South Africa: Lahi - AFU African Union - AfU- Rufisque FC
Croatia; Brewen - Une Chope entre Potes - FCValentin [~CP~]
==========================================================
1st question
Are you surprised to have reached the last four? And what was the most difficult match you played to get there?
Uzeggo (Slovakia)
No, it's not a surprise. It's the third season in a row that I've done it, so it was the minimum objective. I didn't really have any complicated matches, but I'd say Niger and Wales because I scored in the last 5 minutes.
Guilain (Finland)
No, it's not necessarily a surprise because we mainly devote our time to playing the Federation League to the hilt every season. We're still lucky that some of the big managers don't play it or don't play it to the full. ?
The most complicated match was the last one against Nit, which ended in a draw and could have gone either way for 90 minutes.
Lahi (South Africa)
No, it's not really a surprise. South Africa are used to reaching the last four of the Federation League almost every time they take part. You could say that it's become a certain consistency, even a culture for us.
The most complicated match was clearly the play-off against Romania. It was a hard-fought, intense match right to the end. Then there was our match against Iceland on the second day, which wasn't easy either. In fact, they were our two draws of the campaign, which just goes to show how difficult they are.
Brewen (Croatia)
I wouldn't call it a surprise, but more a question of favourable draws to get through. The qualification phase is very unpredictable (in terms of opponents and the conversion of xG and xGA for the goal average), with 5 teams at 12/12 (from memory) this season being a perfect example. Despite this, some federations take part in other competitions, which means that they can qualify for this competition even without 'perfect' performances (8pts, Portugal), which is a good thing, as it avoids being knocked out of the competition for a match in which the opponents are 100% successful!
==========================================================================
2nd question
Of the 4 qualifiers (South Africa, Slovakia, Finland, Croatia) who is your favourite to win the final and what is your prediction for the ranking of the 4, following the final and the final for 3rd place?
Uzeggo (Slovakia)
Frankly, I think it's going to be close because we've all got some very fine nations and the managers who run them are very good. I think that if Lahi beats me, he'll take the title against Croatia, but the reverse wouldn't be surprising either. But I still hope to qualify and win it?
Guilain (Finland)
We're going to put Finland in the final, no kidding...?
After that, we'll randomly put South Africa and then Slovakia, as I've never played those managers.
And lastly, Croatia, who needed a forfeit to get here, so what the hell?
Lahi (South Africa)
Of the 4 qualifiers (South Africa, Slovakia, Finland and Croatia) who's your favourite to win the final and what's your prediction for the ranking of the 4, following the final and the final for 3rd place?
As far as favourites for final victory are concerned, I'm going to stick with my team: South Africa. After three finals (one won and two lost), I sincerely believe that this season is the right one to go for the second star.
My prediction for the final ranking is as follows:
1st South Africa, 2nd Croatia, 3rd Slovakia, 4th Finland.
Brewen (Croatia)
If there's one thing I've learnt over the last few months, it's that nobody is a favourite at 91minutes. In terms of numbers, South Africa are well ahead with their golden generation, and I think we're well below the other qualifiers with a younger squad.

3rd question
What do you think of the competition's format and organisation?
And what do you think needs to be improved?
Uzeggo (Slovakia)
The organisation is top-notch, and I'd like to thank you for all your hard work. After that, I really think it would be a good idea to organise registrations and matches that are only created manually, instead of playing the first 4 matches against people who, for the most part, aren't interested in the competition.
Guilain (Finland)
I haven't thought about it, I guess it suits me at the moment.
Lahi (South Africa)
On the whole, I think the competition formula is very good and well thought out. The organisation is serious and the competition gets more interesting season after season, which is very positive.
If I had to suggest an improvement, it would perhaps be to extend the final phase to 16 teams instead of 12. The top four would also play in the last 16, with the advantage of facing the lowest-ranked teams (1st vs. 16th, 2nd vs. 15th, etc.). This would make the competition even more attractive and offer more high-stakes matches.
Another improvement would concern the rule limiting the number of players from the same club to a maximum of 5. Even when this rule is strictly adhered to at the time of selection, some players may change clubs or alliances at the finals, which means we exceed the limit through no fault of our own.
In my opinion, the rules should be based on the official list published for the finals, because we have no control over player movements. Sanctioning a selection in this case is, in my opinion, a point that needs to be reviewed.
Apart from these details, everything is really well managed.
A big well done to you for setting up this competition, and to the admins who support you in scheduling and organising the matches. Big ups to the whole team, and thank you for all your hard work?
Brewen (Croatia)
The 8-match format is difficult to optimise, and the organisation is well monitored. If I had to point out a few potential areas for improvement:
The home/away randomness from the semi-finals onwards (1/8 and 1/4, it's understandable to favour the higher-ranked team at home).
It's frustrating to lose out on non-appeal (every season).
The list of 22 players should either be definitive for the 4 matches, with no changes tolerated (and no application of the rules in the event of a player changing clubs, as long as the Day 1 rules were respected), or allow the replacement of a player who no longer respects the rules during the final phase (I find this less in keeping with the competitive spirit). The rules are clearly in conflict with the filing of a list of 22 players, since players can move from club to club (even more so with the current generation of 30-33 year olds 99NG who move from club to club), transfers that the federations are not alerted to, making pre-match monitoring very time-consuming and complicated with the current interface.
=========================================================
Thank you to all 4 of you for taking part, and see you on the evening of 1 January to find out which of the 4 will succeed South Korea, winners of the last edition.

12 ώρες πρινThe semi-finals were played last night
South Africa - Slovakia 3-0
#match?mid=6589879
The first half was fairly even and, above all, very tight as the two teams were wary of each other, but the second half was more lively as the South Africans scored from the start through their striker Mkhize. Slovakia were expected to react, but they did not, as the South Africans had strengthened their midfield to stifle any Slovakian hopes. They failed to create any chances, but an equaliser was still possible until the 80th minute, when South Africa doubled their lead and immediately followed up with a 3rd goal.
So it was South Africa who qualified for the final and Slovakia, despite their excellent run, will have to make do with the final for 3rd place.
Finland - Croatia 0-0
#match?mid=6589880
The first half was extremely lively and the 2 teams gave each other a run for their money in terms of chances, but the defences were solid and nothing was scored at half-time.
The second half was just as lively, with a number of tactical changes, but the defences remained as solid as ever.
And with 1/4 of an hour to go, there was a turning point in the match when the Croatian Soldo was sent off for a tackle from behind. Finland dominated the last quarter of an hour, but their numerical superiority meant that they were unable to finish off their chances, and so it went to penalties to decide the outcome of this lively match, despite the lack of goals.

It's as indecisive as ever, with everything likely to come down to the next shot, but the 2 goalkeepers are looking very hot.

The Croatian goalkeeper is impassable at the end of the match.

The Croatian goalkeeper was unstoppable at the end of the match, and it was with a magnificent counter-attack that Croatia ended the session and propelled themselves into the final.

Bravo à la Croatie !
Sorry to pull you out like that (the end of TAB is pretty crazy!). You've got a really magnificent federation between the stamina and their NG, so when I saw the red, I didn't think I could take it, frankly, given the already complicated match up to that point.

Échec.
Yes, it is impossible to cancel a match once it has been scheduled, so Slovakia - Finland will not take place.
Slovakia finishes 3rd and Finland 4th
