>>5750014To recap our Summer performance: /wsg/ entered the group stage and faced off against /jp/ and was able to get a 3-3 draw to start. Next up was /t/, and /wsg/ unleashed the anchor as a counter to the boarding party to increase the 3-2 lead to a 6-2 victory alongside a Ricardo Milos hat trick. Finally, with a draw confirming the top-of-the-group, Ricardo Milos scored his second hat trick to steer /wsg/ to a comfortable 4-4 draw./wsg/ then entered the knockouts to face /aco/, and despite a third Ricardo Milos hat trick, /wsg/ almost let it slip at 90+. In extra time, Gondola was able to ice the game in the dying minutes to secure a 4-3 victory and a final day position. Next up in the quarterfinals was /sp/ who just just promoted as babby finalists with TSUUUUUU setting the goalscoring record. With 4 different players scoring goals, /wsg/ was able to put them away in a 4-2 victory. /wsg/ then climbed to the semifinals to face off with a resurgent /trv/, and clawed out a 3-2 victory in a back-and-forth match that made sparks fly. /wsg/ beat out their previously set best-ever finish at 3rd place in the elites, and entered the finals against /u/. Despite falling behind 2-1 with a subbed keeper and only a couple minutes left, Obligatory 9/11 Thread was the hero who stripped Consensual Cuddling of the ball and scored to send it to extra time. Once in extra time, the former captain and retired gold medal Duane carried the team once again, and /wsg/ won the final with a 4-3 victory following his goal and assist. /wsg/ had finally achieved their long-desired goal of being champions, and kept the 3-star race alive in the process.
>>5750016cont.For his offensive accomplishments at 13 goals and 5 Man of the Match awards, Ricardo Milos was the recipient of the Golden Boot award and the Most Valuable Player award. For his defensive prowess in the knockouts, Lamp Oil, Rope, Bombs? earned himself the Lionel Messi Memoriam Award (Player of the Tournament), and was the first nonmedal outfielder to do so. With a 3rd place finish in Winter '24 and a 1st place finish in Summer '24, /wsg/ goes down as having the single best individual calendar year any team has ever had and enters 2025 at #1 in the 4CC power rankings.
>>5750014My opinions on the current roster:To Be Continued - Despite being an outdated meme, TBC stepped up to fill the empty GK position. TBC is the first player on the team to play in the outfield and in the net.WTF Is This Real? - A dancing cat, how? Keep, silver candidate imo.Man-Made Horrors Beyond Your Comprehension - Basically a blanket rep for any War/Creepy/Uncanny, the current uncanny Mr. Incredible model for this player sure is... incredible. Keep.Sensible Chuckle - The classic gif used all across 4chan to display mild enjoyment and appreciation of other anons posts, another claim we've staked and maintained for almost as long as the team has been a thing. Keep. MULTI-TRACK LISTENING - Not really much to say about this player but I believe it's one of the only original memes of /wsg/ on the team, which is probably why you guys vote it so high, also who doesn't like eurobeat? Promote to silver.Duane - After his silver medal tenure surpassed his gold tenure, he would lose his medal position altogether, personally I think Duane should stay out of the limelight and let other more interesting memes be the stars of the team.Did He Died? - To this day it's still a classic reply to ANY rekt image be it a puppy falling over or actual fucking gore, this is prime 4chan real estate that we've reclaimed and I hope we can keep it that way. Promote to silver.Chinese Steel Worker - Somehow survives the worksite only to be killed by a rogue truck tire while on break. Keep as silver.You Should Kill Yourself… Now! - If LTG's momentum continues he may ascend to gold medal status, I MEAN THAT WITH 100%, WITH 1000%!Gondola - /int/ has finally allowed us to share him within concurrent cups since we gave our Gondola a comfy pom-pom hat and scarf, keep as some sort of medal, currently a gold.Ricardo Milos - Our captain, still widely posted. Keep as gold.
>>5750018Deal With It - Classic player and meme format, but would not bat an eye if people wanted to overhaul the team. Keep for posterity.Motherfucking Newports - Godmotherfuckingdamn, motherfucking newports nigga, I'm hauling ass nigga, I'M HAULING ASS!!!The "Burger" King - You know, the guy on the plane who called that nigger bitch a nigger. Scored a goal in the infamous match vs. /w/ despite being a DMF. Keep, potentially promote.Why Are You Gay? - Who says I'm gay? You are gay. Keep.Dr. Ivo Robotnik - Despite the unprecedented tenure on the team, he's been use sparingly due to superstition, but redeemed himself in our championship match as part of the BIG NIGGA BACKLINE, keep.Lamp Oil, Rope, Bombs? - Part 2 of the BIG NIGGA BACKLINE and recipient of the Lionel Messi Memoriam Award(Player of the Tournament), Keep.WASTED - Classic, the last true old-blood defender on the team, I truly hope he never leaves.Thirst Impact - More than just some anime rep, but an actual meme! Will the 4CC continue to have a Misato player? YES![UNINTELLIGIBLE] - You know they say all men are created equal. But you look at me and you look at the other players on the roster and you can see that statement is NOT TRUE, keepBig Man Tyrone - Still the classic pay-to-say-whatever-you-want guy. Was a former longtime silver, a bit long in the tooth nowadays, I'll leave it up to you guys to decide his fate.Obligatory 9/11 Thread - We did it we recruited the actual twin towers to play for the team and they definitely made an impact on the team, winning the Best Model award at one point. Keep.Look At Him Go! - Got a new model a while back, that funny walking bear is looking really good now. Keep.
>>5750020Potential new players I've added to the poll to compete directly with the current members of the team:Democracy Manifest - GENTLEMAN THIS IS DEMOCRACY MANIFEST, GET YOUR HANDS OFF MY ROSTER SPOT, I SEE YOU KNOW YOUR DIVEGRASS WELL. RIPIP Jack Karlson, ta-ta and farewell.Think Fast Chucklenuts - *flashbang*(bait and switch rep)ROMAN YOU FAT FUCK - I was very young... and very angry. Maybe that is no excuse to not try out for the team... Roman? ROMAN YOU FAT FUCK ARE YOU SLEEPING?(also bait and switch rep)Now Watch This Drive - WE MUST STOP THE TERRORUncle Ruckus - 102% divegrass material, with a 2% margin of error, no relation.Don't Call Me Shirley - Surely changing your name to make it on the team won't work. It will, and don't call me Shirley.Dark Helmet - A chance for me to join the roster, but Rigterra is across the galaxy? Accelerate to LUDICROUS SPEED!No Way Not This Time - Are you really going to keep me off the team, no way, not this time. We created it. Not this time. No, not this time. It's totally made up: pure fiction. It's fiction, it's fiction. We made it up, we made this one up. It's a made up tale. it's a total fabrication. It never happened. It never happened, this one was invented by a writer, not this time. it never happened its false it never happened its a fake it's fiction it's an urban legend that never happened no way, we got ya, not a chance, not this time, it never happened, it never happened, we made this one up, it's fiction, we made up this one, we made it up not this time, wrong, not this time, not this time, you're wrong, not this time, it never happened.True Brexit Geezer - Wake up and meet the wife Susan. My little princess, isn’t she beautiful. Time to take George to Football. Rev up the Bugatti yeee.6MB MP4 (WITH SOUND) - Meta player that we don't really think should make it on the team, but we think it would be funny as a sort of flex on the other board.
>>5750014As the reigning champions of the cup, /wsg/ gets to be the host this Winter, meaning our memes will be represented through promos, refs and the like, if you have any ideas you'd like to throw out there please let us know. We are also working to finally get the 9/11 stadium up and running so if there are any memes you'd like to see on the sidelines or in the background feel free to give us suggestions.

Hi all. If you got any burning questions about tactics or wanna make some suggestions on what we should run, feel free to chime in and/or ask away! I love talking tictacs and it'd be fun to hear what you guys are thinking.
>>5750014great thread, personally i support /r9k/
>name off>>5750039Noted! We'll keep this in mind. That 3rd place run was great for so many reasons and it definitely should get some inclusion. [spoiler]My favorite part was the unironic use of wing forwards[/spoiler]>>5751513>/r9k/Nice. I don't browse that board but find their team to be particularly funny to watch.
