Even though the Weelond team didn't advance to the knock-out stage in the inaugural Soccer Cup in Trador last year, the team was greeted with much enthusiasm at home. So, when Bastion, last year's champion, announced the return of the Soccer Cup this year, the team quickly reassembled under the leadership of legendary coach Patch Verlander. As you may recall, Patch's coaching philosophy is "If you can kick a pineapple, you can kick a soccer ball," so once the team arrived in Bastion, they needed to find all the pineapples they could for practice. Luckily for the team, a pineapple vendor came down the street right in front of the team hotel!   Patch was quick to inspect the merchandise.   Meanwhile, two of the team's star players made sure the pineapples were good for play (much to the consternation of one of the locals).   Of course, injuries do occur, and the Weelond team seemed to have more than its share of foot injuries. But that didn't dissuade some of Bastion's loveliest ladies from expressing their interest in the players.   And some people just like pineapples. ("Ooh! Pineapples!")   And so the Weelond Regimentals (as they are known) were ready for practice.   And here is a picture of the team:   The team also produced a different (NSFW) team picture to raise money for the Widows and Orphans Fund:   All C&C welcome!
