LOM National Team defeated in IDUFC by Verwood
[excerpt from the Kingston Tribune]
Recently, LOM National Team fans were disheartened to learn that "The Boys" would not be progressing to the Semi-Finals of the International Democratic Union's Football Championship. The Boys were defeated by [nation]Verwood[/nation] after an intense game.
"I am a little disappointed," says LOM National Team striker, Luke Brookshire, "We couldn't get our act together and as a result, we lost." Brookshire went on to say, "... Verwood was favored from the start anyway. They played a better game than we did. They deserved the win. Besides, at least we ended the run with hand shakes, not tear gas."
Brookshire was referencing the disastrous first game of the tournament against [nation]Gonhog[/nation] that ended in a public brawl that was suppressed using tear gas and (reportedly, though unconfirmed) rubber bullets. Fans all over LOM can still be seen burning Gonhog flags in their front lawns though tensions have deescalated immensely in the weeks since the event.
The LOM National Team returned to Libertas Omnium Maximus last Monday and will all serve as guests of honor in a parade being held on January 17th, in Litudinem to commemorate their fantastic run on the international pitch. Afterwords, players will start preparing with their respective clubs for the 2019 [Maximusian] Major League Football Association (MLFA) season which will begin in March.
