Nintendo Association Football (Soccer) League


Recommended Posts

Following Sarasaland losing to Shield 2-1 tonight, a petition on change.org surfaced calling on NAFA to disallow teams from Disney to be involved in future NWC and Confederations Cup tournaments going forward.

 

"Nintendo is in the name of both the NBL and NAFA," the petition states "Yet the two leagues, for various reasons, have allowed teams from Disney franchises that have little to no history in video games to compete in our events, Kingdom Hearts teams notwithstanding."

 

The petition adds:

 

"While Sarasaland did lose to Shield, and in no way do we want those results overturned, we want both the NBL and NAFA to disallow Disney based teams beginning with the 2020 NWC qualifications as we don't see them as legitimate video game franchises exclusively under the Nintendo banner but rather a bunch of Interlopers from an iconic Hollywood film conglomerate that have no real business in our events going forward."

 

Already, signature numbers have reached 50,000 in Sarasaland and surrounding Mario realm countries, with the number likely to get higher by tomorrow.

 

No comment yet from the two leagues right now but that's sure to change soon.

Opposition to Shield and teams like it participating in the NAFA is growing.  Over 75,000 signatures came in from fans in Popstar last night, where their national team suffered defeat on penalties in the Confederations Cup quarterfinals.  Other countries including Corneria, Zebes, Mute City, Distant Planet, Hyrule, have had over 10,000 signatures come in during the last 72 hours since the quarterfinals.  It really does look like this could be the beginning of the end for some of the teams with weaker connections to Nintendo.  

 

The issue for the NAFA will be how to apply the necessary standards for entry going into the 2020 World Cup cycle.  If they adopt the more stringent standard used by the NBL, about 10-15 national teams would likely be tossed out of the NAFA.  They’ll have a while to sort all this out before the 2020 season begins next February

Nintendo Confederations Cup 3rd place match and Championship Final

 

Yoshi's Island 2-0 Shield - Stade de France, Saint-Denis, Paris

Poochy - 53’

Red Yoshi - 59’

 

Isle O Hags 1-2 Sarasaland - Parc des Princes, Paris

Daisy - 49’

Banjo - 73’

Waluigi - 85’

 

9:30pm - matches kick off

 

46’ - it was a cagey and conservative first half in both matches but now Sarasaland has the first goal of the night as Daisy gets a cross from Totomesu and heads into the near side of goal from 11 yards for 1-0

 

53’ - This will make all the first party countries very happy.  Hookbill Koopa heads down a back post corner from Baby Mario, and Poochy pounces on it to roll it in past Hulk to make it 1-0

 

59’ - Wow...Shield are shell-shocked!  Red Yoshi hits a wonderstrike from 30 yards that deflects in off the post.  Hulk barely even moved for it.  It’s 2-0 to Yoshi’s Island

 

73’ - Banjo comes up with an equalizer...he gets a pass inside from Tooty and manages to chip it over Tatanga as he came out to cut down the angle.  It’s 1-1 in the 3rd place.

 

85’ - It’s a penalty to Sarasaland as Waluigi is brought down in the penalty area by Gruntilda, who gets a red card and is kicked out.  Jiggywiggy moves to goalkeeper but is unable to stop Waluigi’s penalty.  2-1

 

Full time in all matches!

 

Yoshi’s Island wins 2019 Confederations Cup.

Shield 2nd place

Sarasaland 3rd place

 

Green Yoshi receives the Confederations Cup trophy and raises it high amongst his teammates as the confetti rains down on the pitch of the Stade de France, and the fireworks explode overhead, along with cannons shooting eggs and watermelons.  It’s a memorable end to an unbelievable summer for the Yoshis, who came so close only to fall at the final hurdle in the NBL Apertura, to come back and win their first NAFA championship tonight.

Some time ago, I proposed this: 

 

Group A: (Mario)

Mushroom Kingdom

Yoshi's Island

Valley of Bowser

Star Continent

Subcon- Luigi's Mansion

Sarasaland

Rogueport Island

Isle Delfino- Luigi's Mansion 

 

(Isle Delfino leaving might be a better choice, since both it and Luigi's Mansion were on the GameCube. And guess what is doing better as a trilogy? Just don't forget about Pauline in one of these teams, alright? Odyssey still needs some appreciation.)

 

Group B: (Zelda)

Hyrule

Termina

Great Sea

Great Sky

Koholint

Labrynna

Lorule

Great Plateau 

 

(Nothing here.)

 

Group C: (Tourney Fighters)

Earth SF

Mega Village- South Town/ River City

Outworld

Ultratech Lands- South Town/ River City (Rareware?)

Ostreinsburg

Clayland- South Town/ River City

Metro City

Arms- South Town/ River City 

 

(I could not for the life of me find out where Mega Village is from. As for Clayland, it hasn't gotten any significant new games as much as the River City and King of Fighters games. But, Ultratech and Arms won't be heavy hitters in this group any time soon as well. But, that's not to say I'll move Ultratech completely. Thanks to Terry's inclusion in Smash, South Town being the base is fitting. River City is making a real comeback, and that River City bundle came out recently.)

 

Group D: (Epic & Adventures)

Gondwanaland

Pandora Mana

Bionis

Alrest

Destiny Islands-  Orsterra/ Epoch

Chomaikamura

Saint Eva

Castlevania 

 

(Yeah, by guilt of association, Destiny Islands has got to go, if anything Disney is affiliated with it. But, either Orsterra or Epoch works the best here. Maybe.)

 

Group E: (Space & Future)

Corneria

Venom

Sauria- Tallon (Rareware?)

Zebes

Inkopolis

Distant Planet

Mute City

Port Town- Tallon

 

(With the hype of Prime 4 around the corner, I thought of this. Sauria wouldn't be totally out of the picture, if it is replaced.)

 

Group F: (Old School Nintendo + Sega)

ACDC Town

Skyworld

Icicle Mountain

Little States

Golden Forest

Popstar

Green Hill Zone

Dole Floors 

 

(Got nothing here. For now.)

 

Group G: (FPS / Survival / Justice)

LA Court

Khurain

Raccoon City

Shadow Moses Island

Gotham

Shield

MI6

Vigrid 

 

(If Gotham's here, I'm not taking out Shield. That's final.)

 

Group H: (The Misfits)

Disney- Mimiga Town/ Wumpa Island/ Avalar

Tatooine- Mimiga Town/ Wumpa Island/ Avalar

Earthdbz

Golden Forest- Mimiga Town/ Wumpa island/ Avalar

Orange Star

Guitarworld- Mimiga Town/ Wumpa Island/ Avalar

Layton London 

-Mimiga Town/ Wumpa Island/ Avatar- 

 

(We either include the final eighth team, or get rid of one of these franchises that have no right to be here any more. But, Disney and Tatooine are leaving. The indies scene is finally picking up steam. The Crash and Spyro games are doing wonderfully on the Switch now.)

 

Group I: (RPGs)

Eagleland

Epoch- Zaphias

Spira- Narshe

Weyard

Sylvealla

Spiegelspire- Alefgard

Mardias

Orsterra- Zaphias 

 

(Sorry, Narshe's making a bigger splash than Spira when it comes to Final Fantasy for Nintendo. Now that that Dragon Quest trilogy is on the Switch, Alegard is trying to take down Spiegelspire as the base for Dragon Quest. Zaphias, from the Tales series, is willing to take Epoch's or Orsterra's place.)

 

Group J: (Pokémon)

Kanto

Johto

Hoenn

Sinnoh

Unova

Kalos

Alola 

-Galar- 

 

(It goes without saying, even if the new Gen is hit and miss.)

 

Group K: (Military & Strategy) 

Tellius

Archanea

Valentia 

Valla

Magvel

Ylisse 

-Fodland- 

-Elibe-   

 

(New place, plus an old friend that has been unceremoniously forgotten. It's time we rectified that. For Lyn, Hector, Eliwood, the Black Fang, Roy, Lilina, Ninian, Sophia, Nergal, Zephiel, Narcian... *rambles on*... and Canas.)

 

Group L: (Rareware)

Kongo Jungle

Northern Kremisphere

Isle O Hags

Timber Island

Goldwood

Carrington  

-Ultratech- (?)

-Sauria- (?) 

 

(They had some development with Rare. Don't think I'd forget them. Heck, Sauria wasn't at first affiliated with Star Fox till later.)

 

Group M: (Animal Crossing)

Animal Village -> Smash Village

Normaluchi Village

Jockpeppy Village

Smugsnooty Village

Crazylazy Village

Cranky Village 

-Tortimer Island- 

-Nook Inc. Island- 

 

(The first change is thanks to Koholint having a field day with copyright. And the Island scene is picking up nowadays.) 

 

If there's anything that needs help with, I'm here.

*looks around* 

 

Okay, so I guess I'll start the NAFA Season of 2020 off. ... Maybe. Before I got into the actual game, I ran into some details. They'll be in the spoilers until we agree on whatever. 

 

 



 

A few other team changes and replacements. Golden Forest was on 2019 twice, but later changed for Lost Lands. And, like, Mega Village, I have no idea WHERE they're from, so I kicked them out. What's now in Misfits is something not Group A anymore. And they fit in the last group. I also rearranged the groups by chronological group order. For the most part. Last, there'll be no byes for now, now that every group has eight teams each.

World Cup Allocation Spots: (this is based on group strength measured by performance in past World Cup/Confederations Cup competitions.

 

Mario - 3 spots

Zelda - 3 spots

Epic & Adventures - 2 spots

RPGs - 2 spots

Space & Future - 2.5 spots

Tourney Fighters - 2.5 spots

Old School - 2.5 spots

Pokemon - 3 spots

FPS / Survival - 2.5 spots

Fire Emblem / Military - 2.5 spots

Rareware - 2.5 spots

Animal Crossing - 2 spots

The Misfits - 2 spots

 

The teams that finish third in the groups with 2.5 spots will play-off against one of the other third place finishers on the opening Matchday of the World Cup.  So technically, 35 teams will qualify for the NWC, but 3 of the teams will end up going home after the first game, after which the group stage will begin
