MEDAL OF EPICNESS DELIVERED TO DUBROVNIK
The medal of epicness, also known as the largest pizza in the world, with the word "Epic" spelled out with extra bacon has been delivered to the population of Dubrovnik, as they continue their party with, arguably, the greatest footballers ever.
MEANWHILE... IN DUBROVNIK
Timmy Bendiš has been elected mayor of Dubrovnik. That is all.
As dawn broke the teams began to arrive at their training camps for the tournament, some of the worlds biggest stars were spotted disembarking from planes:
Or spotted through coach windows:
The players excitement was evident on all their faces:
The streets were lined with adoring fans:
Prompting police escorts to keep the rabble away from the talent:
They had all arrived as early as possible to attend the mandatory:
OPENING CEREMONY
Hurricanes Chairman, Tournament President and Supreme High Lord General Ziechael (that's right, the title gets bigger!) took a more relaxed approach on his way to the opening ceremony for tomorrows kick-off.
He arrived at the airport accompanied by his team captain and vice captain, obviously tactical discussions have already begun
From there they were joined by some more of the first team players as they boarded the tube to the national stadium.
The waiting crowd roared in appreciation as their benevolent (thus far at least) leader took to the field to start the opening ceremony
With a penalty display of epic proportions the tournament was officially open for tomorrows matches.
And with only one official hurt/dead the ceremony began in earnest.
The night drew in with a live performance from international jokes Coldplay:
Which culminated in the ritual sacrifice of lead singer Chris Martin, already this opening ceremony was being heralded as the greatest event of all time!
The ceremony closed with a fantastic fireworks display which was mirrored at stadiums across the world, regardless of the hour or inconvenience to the local population:
While many suspected the hour long fireworks extravaganza was designed to cover the sound of multiple missile tests by General Ziechael's war-tech division nothing could be proven, although Fiji has mysteriously gone missing… if found please call this number 0800-WTFFIJI?
After the excitement of the opening ceremony the Grand High Lord Master President General Ziechael (getting bit long now, hereafter shortened to Ziechael) called together the gathered teams ready to reveal to them who's leadership they would be under for the coming tournament.
Ziechael's own team the Hurricanes would be led by Carlo Ancelotti
Van Persie's The Huntsmen get Sir Alex Ferguson
AlexTHFC's Engham United FC have Ottmar Hitzfeld
9thCodeBreaker's Codebreakers United F.C. are to be led by David Moyes
Louis O.'s Donkey FC get the one and only Tony Adams
The Special One's Balham Blazers FC have Robin Dutt
tbendis' NK GOŠK Dubrovnik will be led by Josep Guardiola

Hermes' Anatolia Lions have Mircea Lucescu

stupid Dutt, I should have gotten someone better.
It's true, you should have had your first choice... but he wasn't in the database?! If i can track him down i'll add him but for now it is your 2nd choice i'm afraid
