From NSwiki, the NationStates encyclopedia.
The Football Spectrum Cup 2007 is a competition comprising of 20 national football teams from across The Spectrum. Hosted in Dhatsun, due to Dhatsun's victory in the Spectrum Cup 2006, the competition consists of a group stage where the the twenty are reduced to 8. Then quarter finals, semi finals and then the final. The winner is presented with The Spectrum Cup and the right to host the Spectrum cup 2008, should it occur. The draw took place on the 15th May 2007 by Dhatsun and Nintenduu and was overseen by the SFA (Spectrum Football Association).
The Spectrum Cup has caused controversy when only one team from the special pot, containing Ti Amero, Chekgakistonia and Wildcatiumum, were allowed to play. Chekgakistonia was drawn, after Oldham Road cheated when Wildcatiumum was drawn to play, from the special pot and subsequently is taking part in the competition. The total number of fixtures has also been criticised, in the 2006 competition, only 8 teams took part leading to a far lower number of games, only 20 games were played. With 20 teams, the total number of games to be played in 2007 has risen to 48.

Trivia
- Undracor was allowed to play however the SFA demanded that their players had to be clothed this year unlike the last. This was due to the number of complaints from fans and players the year before.
- The national squad fielded by Adoggo was disqualified after it failed to field a team for its first fixture; a bizzare accident occured when all team members barring one were injured whilst attempting a motorcycle stunt in the grounds of their hotel in Midgon.
- The holders, Dhatsun were knocked out in the group stages, after a penalty shootout with I Know Better Than You. The penalties eventually went into sudden death.
- The worst performance in the group stages, barring disqualification was by Sherylannia; the best performance came from Eggfree.
- After seeing Sherylannia lose three straight games, Vagina of the Bishop frontman Sean E. Moss was reported to have thrown the one remaining Adoggo team member over the side of the stand in anger. He was awaiting sentence in Dhatsun & Sherylannia were trying to extradite him back to his adopted home. It was later found out that the player was actually a member of the IKBTY squad. Resultantly, charges were immediately dropped.
- Undracor was disqualified after the team did not show up to the match against Oldham Road.
- Nintenduu 64 has made it to the final in both Spectrum Cups.
