NL confirm, did not get any sk mail so responding here just in case.

I dont want to meet Nederland again! Hehe

We had a pretty good match with NL haha.
I hadn't actually got around to sending the sk-mail to guest nations as I was in a bit of a rush.

Haha! Ball is round my friend, next time it could be in your favor :).

@achmid

No worries, just making sure we're not left out due to some kind of bug :-))))) And true, we had a good match a close one at that :).

Thanks for everyone who has confirmed so far.

As we have 17+ teams, the draw will have 5 groups of 4 teams, with the winner and 3 best 2nd places going to the QF, followed by SF and Final.

For guests - I thank you for offering to fill spaces if required. Based on my first post regarding selection of guests, the order in which you will be accepted are as follows:

1. Jamaica - confirmed
2. Kenya -
3. Cymru - confirmed
4. Nederland - confirmed
5. Norge - confirmed (unlikely to be required)

Obviously, if Kenya doesn't confirm, everyone will move up a spot.

In the next few days, I will confirm all the teams who will be playing and the format. Not long after that, I will run the draw (via internet program or getting a couple of managers to help out) for the group phase.

The form of seeding (if any) is currently being considered, in an attempt to give every team a shot at making the QF, should the luck be in their favour
