Many thanks to Groot Gouda, we came within only one goal. Since I lived in Salt Lake from the 1980s to 2004, I think I'm the residential expert on bribing officials to host international athletic competitions. Everyone related to the IDU FC board members has already been given full scholarships and our army of prostitutes infilitrated Groot Gouda months ago.

In the final match of the IDU Championship, Adam Island faced Isles of Koster for the crown in Groot Gouda Stadium. With 70,000 fans, including dignitaries from nations across the region watching on, AIS spared no effort. Each team got off over a dozen shots, but it was the ones that went in that counted.
Forward Petter Holmberg scored his 8th career international goal to put the Islanders up 1-0 in the 20th minute. Koster was quick to answer, tying the game just minutes later with a header just past Mikael Berggren. Action continued at a frantic pace, with a Holmberg shot bouncing off the post at 35 minutes.
Adam Island started strong in the second half, with midfielder Adelaide Haakenson taking the lead in the 48th minute. Adam Island flags were flown proudly, and the confetti was prepared across the Republic for the street parties watching the game on televisions by millions. Berggren kept the Koster shots away until the 80th minute, when he let one slide past him on the right when he had run up too far on the left.
Both teams started to play with the expectation of extra time, but the Isles of Koster found a hole in the AIS defense and put another goal through at the beginning of injury time. Adam Island had no chance to come back, and the underdog Isles of Koster won the silver cup of the IDU Football Championship.
Not all the news is bad however- Adam Island will be one of the four IDU teams to participate in the Inter-regional Football Championships currently being organized.
