Terms and abbreviations in sports roleplaying

Sports-roleplayers invented their own slang and use it in #Sport in the Internet Relay Chat and several of their threads in the forums:

Stages of the World Cup

WCQ: World Cup qualifiers

GS: Group stage

2R: Second round, also called:

Ro16: Round of 16

QF: Quarterfinal

SF: Semifinal

3PPO: Third place playoff

Sports tournaments

WC: World Cup

CoH: Cup of Harmony

U21WC: Under-21 World Cup

BoF: Baptism of Fire

FHWC: Field Hockey World Cup

Game terms

AET: After extra time

APK: After penalty kicks

og: own goal

FA: Football (soccer) association

System Karela: a tactic known as all-out-defense, Catenaccio or (especially by fans from Cockbill Street) "the most boring tactic ever". The name was invented by Rejistanian newspapers since H1SR team Karela Lines regularily uses it.

System Jesejil: a 4-5-1 tactic, often in combination with pressing, named after the city Jesejil kali in nanti ligat. The rejistani U21 tends to use it since years.

System Imdila: Hexen Imdila, the first coach of the rejistani national team, often used a 4-4-2 tactic. In the "propaganda war" with co-coach Ha~e Hangila, the term System Imdila for this tactic was used.

System Hangila: "propaganda war", the second. Ha~e Hangila had to hear the term System Hangila for his more attacking 3-4-3 formation. Both expressions lost their negative conotation entirely and are used neutrally.

System Takil: A rejistani expression for All-Out-Attack (2-3-5). It's name derives from the fact that coach Laxtu Takil used it in the World Cup qualifiers.

Somehow related to sports roleplaying

Here many things are mentioned, which do not belong anywhere else. Also IRC-slang, unique for #Sport (IRC Channel) can be found here:

Abysmalistan: The home of failure.

FSS: For Slani's Sake

Margaret: The one who is to blame when things go wrong

TIY: Totally Inflated Yen, this currency loses value so rapidly that no one writes the prices of products at all. Often used for bribes, especially aimed at Margaret or the host nations, since it is easy to get trillions of them.

WTSH?: What the Slani hell?
