Jameston - From state to football powerhouse

Jameston, a state of the United Republic of Jameston, Brietnam & Doland has become a football powerhouse in the last year.

Jameston took home the 2015 NFT Euros in January 2015 with a shocking performance beating Doland, Keig & more. This is when Jameston errupted and became a football powerhouse.

Match Report: Jameston vs DRBT - 2016 World Cup

A 1-0 loss shows how a once strong Democratic Republic of Bir Tawil side has sunk.

A side with a thing for beating bigger teams Jameston has shown it's nationalism not through rebellion but football. Jameston had mentally and physically defeated DRBT and look as if they could put a couple more passed the DRBT.

Match Report: Brandholm vs Keig - 2016 World Cup

Former world champions Keig scrape a lucky victory against a tired Brandholm.

Brandholm looks shockingly disappointing in a 4-3 defeat to Keig. This means Brandholm have only 2 games to improve their performance or face an early journey home to Brandholm. 

Keig looked atrocious in defense and let a tired Brandholm side put 3 past them. Yussuf Said scored all goals for Brandholm and is rumored to be moving to South America to side Athletic Berholm for a fee of 400,000 Austraran Laans.

Match Report: Smithville vs Sardiniland - 2016 World Cup

Smithville put 3 past Oceanian side Sardiniland in a one sided matchup.

To be fair, Sardiniland didn't expect to get any points against one of the best teams in the world. Smithville have been ranked in the top 5 for months now and it looks like they will be engraved as one of the best teams of the era. 

Sardiniland played very defensive football with 5 at the back and only a lone striker to give them a chance of pulling a shock. This tactic didn't work as a confused back 5 scrambled together leaving Smithville to score as they plead.

Smithville finished the job with a 90+3 finish from Thomas Warrington to make it 3-0 to the Smithans. Smithville now travel north of Tranmania to play Zachodnoslavija who just came out from a 2-1 lose to Berlonia.

Match Report: Berlonia vs Zachodnoslavija - World Cup 2016

A professional looking Berlonia team take home a win against Zachodnoslavija

Berlonia looked like the side that won the NFT Confederations Cup 2015 with a professional and strong performance in the opening match in Group B. Zachodnoslavija have qualified for the World Cup everytime since 2014 in Fireen.

South America only has Berlonia to represent the continent, so you can understand why Berlonia have attracted so much attention bringing in high amounts of fans to games. Berlonia are certainly a team to look at in the future.

Match Report: Unironia vs Doland - 2016 NFT World Cup

Doland cup hopes die, then revive in a shocking turn of events.

Doland looked strong favorites in a match against Unironia. It was a must win for Doland, the host nation of the tournament. The match was played in Tranmania Stadium in the centre of the capital.

The game kicked off to a roar from the Dolandic home supporters. Unironians travelling from North America travelled in small numbers but did a good job at keeping up with the home support. 

James Fulton found a space in the Dolandic defense and smashed it passed the Dolandic goalkeeper to shock Doland and make it 1-0 to Unironia in just 10 minutes into the match. The home support was quite while Unironians chanted on feeling proud on the second NFT adventure into the World Cup.

Doland looked atrocious in the first half, and certainly must've be scrutinized in the changing rooms. Nevertheless it was halftime and Unironia looked like picking up 3 points against the hosts, Doland.

In the second half Doland put pressure on the Unironian defense managing to equalize thanks to a goal from Charlie May to bring Dolandic fans back to life. A second goal followed within minutes thanks to a goal from Shakhtar Tranmania striker Tom Neville. Neville got on the score board again with another goal from outside the box making it 3-1 to doland on the 70th minute. A second from May was the icing on the cake for a successful victory in Tranmania for hosts Doland. Doland win 4-1.

Match Report: Taihan vs Morburn - World Cup 2016

Morburn & Taihan shared points with a exciting anything but dull match.

The match began with Morburn playing a tactical 4-4-2 while Taihan played a defensive counter attacking formation of 2-3-5. Morburnians & Taihanese fans made the atmosphere intense and exciting for the opening of the 2016 Non Fifa Teams World Cup.

The first half started with Taihan playing many high balls across the Morburnian half. Lee-Chung-Yo got the first goal of the tournament after scoring from a long ball from the midfield past the Morburn defense. Lee Chung Yo left in a 1v1 with the goalkeeper hit the ball into the right side of the goal scoring the first goal of the tournament. 

The second half was panic time for the Morburnian side. Morburn went all out attacking on the Taihanese defense. With many chances to equalize or even win the game, the Morburnian strikers weren't inform. A cross in the 67th minute straight to the head of captain Lukas Jankauskas to fire one in to equalize for Morburn.

With the final whistle the game ended Taihan 1 - 1 Morburn.
