The first match of the Actea Football Championship took place between the host country's team and the team from Arkondia. Judging by the players' actions, both teams came with a firm intention to win – dangerous moments began to emerge from the very first minutes; Arkondia sent the ball towards the Greatwater goal as early as the third minute. In the ninth minute, the "blue" team staged a real siege on the opponent's goal – during a single moment, three shots were taken at the Arkondia goal, but Jean managed to save them all; immediately after that, the Arkondia team counterattacked: Gregory found himself one-on-one with Mahmudov, but failed to capitalize on this chance... Only to make amends in the second half: in the 54th minute, an Arkondia forward opened the scoring by shooting into the open (after a successful save) Greatwater goal. The match continued in the same spirit as before: both teams competed on almost equal terms, constantly creating dangerous situations near each other's goals. The greatest tension occurred during the added time (90+), when Anar Mammadkhanov sent the ball from a distance like a rocket and almost scored a goal (the goalkeeper failed to react in time, but the ball hit the crossbar; if the trajectory had shifted slightly, it would have been a draw).

Can my team use performance-enhancing drugs here as well?

Oh, it seems that esports is gaining popularity.

Nope.))

By the way: there are two teams from each group. It's not the most interesting option, but with this many participants, there isn't much choice.

Didn't really want to. But since almost all our allies are gathered in the group...

Maybe Greytwater will decide to reconsider its priorities :smile08:

Well done, guys, you made a good start.

If only your guys fought as well as they play football...

Who even needs Judo? I deliberately gave it low stats.

Everyone needs it.

football is more highly regarded, and the main goal is to win.

But in football, someone else will win...

possibly.
but in other sports, others will win too. maybe with a few exceptions.

football is more highly regarded, and the main thing is to win in it

Tell that to the soldiers of Kittypink when they invade your country.

I want to see this in the next set of quotes.
