The Security Council,
Recognizing that in a multiverse with intense competition, fandom, hooliganism, rivalries and conflict, the need for a grandiose international association football competition has been present since the dawn of time to suffice such natural sapient desires,
Cognizant that across 101 tournaments thus far, since the dawn of antiquity, the World Cup has established itself as the world’s premier sporting competition, consistently drawing the most attention and participation out of any international sporting event,
Celebrating the humble beginnings of this famed international tournament we hold as granted today, as the first World Cup was organized and held in the nation of
Ariddia, and, in its most primitive form, was won by Crosshill, as no qualifying system was added to the tournament yet and matches were more randomized and less ordered,
Acknowledging the numerous innovations to the World Cup since its inception, that have paved the way for similar international competitions to take place, such as the introduction of the KPB Ranking system since World Cup 12 (since replaced by KPB+), which calculates the strength of nations based on numerous factors, and the development of multiple “scorinators” to officiate World Cup results based on merit, although nations continue to blame Goddess Margaret for peculiar results,
Recollecting the most famous dynasties throughout the World Cup, teams whose sheer dominance has only been matched by their tactical genius:
-
Rejistania, a side that innovated a novel defensive style, referred to as System Karela, that, through sheer determination and defensive prowess, led them to win World Cups 12, 17, 18, and 23, most notably winning in a comeback 4-3 against Kaze Progressa to secure their third title, where player Jenji Y came on as a substitute to score a winning 20 yard volley, -
Aguazul, a team that came to prominence through the first and only three-peat of World Cup titles, winning World Cup 54, and then World Cups 57-59 consecutively, propelled by their star striker, Sosimo Lisson, whose vital goalscoring and penalty heroics, combined with the team’s lack of losing habits and defensive expertise, would earn the striker a namesake metric,
-
Banija, a nation whose rise to prominence was capped off by their win in World Cup 86, after finishing 3rd in two of the previous three years, winning 3-2 over Nephara, before winning back to back titles in World Cup in World Cups 93 and 94, driven by prolific striker Abel Wesoloski-Okafor, who scored 2 goals in each final to propel them to victory,
Commemorating nations not mentioned but whose successes are just as impressive, and whose consistency has propelled them to become some of the greatest footballing nations in the multiverse, including record 5-time winners
Valanora,
Starblaydia, (nations that together formed the dominant period Two Now Stand),
Alasdair I Frosticus (The Holy Empire), as well as 4-time winners
Audioslavia and Bedistan, along with Schottia’s World Cup 78-80 run, which was the most statistically dominant in history, although notably no nation has managed to accrue 6 wins so far,
Remembering the most famous, or otherwise infamous games and moments in the World Cup’s decorated past, moments and that will surely go down in history as defining players, managers, and nations legacies, and well beyond:
-
A Miracle on Cockbill Street, where, in the World Cup 21 Quarterfinals, Bedistan defeated Vilita 8-7, as both teams lined up in a 0-5-5 formation, and then preceded to absolutely pummel each other with no regard for defensive playing, only settled after Alejandro Vantrease scored in the 88th minute to win Bedistan the match,
-
The Asterisk, where, in World Cup 56 qualifying,
Bears Armed is recorded as having beat Peisandros 14-0, as apparently a drunk Starblaydi referee had double-vision for the game and thus counted twice as many goals as actually occurred, although the record books maintain a score of 14-0 against the ursines wishes,
Appreciating all those who make the seemingly implausible success of this tournament possible; the footballing federations, the players, World Cup Committee organizers and the host nations, the fans, the undue nations not possible to recognize in such a short space, and everyone else involved in this spectacular competition, as well as the Baptism of Fire and the Cup of Harmony, tournaments which fill out a complete World Cup cycle,
Believing that whether ending up successful champions or disappointed losers, the World Cup has always proven to inspire hopeful competitors, diehard fans, and entire nations and populaces, hoping to forever enshrine their name in history,
Hereby declares the World Cup to be eternally enshrined in the history books of this esteemed council.
