In a galaxy far, far away, there are still games of football being played. It is a truly bizarre world, generated by the random fluctuations of something known only as "SIGAMES FOOTBALL MANAGER 2020".

The 2019-20 season recently concluded, and we're getting ready for EURO 2020 and Copa América 2020, two massive, messy international tournaments.

We formally invite all interested partners to sign up. You will initially be placed with the U23 squad of the Crabs, a franchise that was founded last year and placed third in the Premier League, under the stable* guidance of Brazilian manager João Sousa (57), known for first season magic and falling out with everyone as time goes on. The stars of that team are mercurial Moroccan Oscar "Bami" Wood, the Colombian ball wizard known as Dan, and the Norwegian mongrel Hannah McCormack (yes, women play here and do well). They also lifted the Milk Cup, but were disappointing in Europe.

The Crabs is about to be ravaged by clubs willing to spend money right now. It is to be hoped that the club can recruit new blood, but in its current state the club appears to be a development vehicle, as the Crabs aren't really an established presence in the football world.

The Premier League table as of 27 May, 2020:

I can come across like a devious railroad mod in this, so you get one chance to say "No, I don't like this"

CONFUSION IN COPA AMÉRICA
Friday 12 June, 2020 (Guardian US)

Jo Bradley for the Guardian, Barranquilla

The 2020 Copa América has been thrown into disarray on the night of the tournament as one of the biggest stars was taken away by a squad of paramilitary soldiers. Leading Latin American politicians are already involved as planning for the tournament has been thrown into total chaos.

A considerable amount of criticism has appeared over the state of the Colombian FA’s paperwork after two players nicknamed Dan turned up in the 23-player squad announcements for the 2020 Copa América at the Ernesto Cortissoz International Airport. When the players assembled off their various airplanes to be ceremonially awarded the national team jersey, two players stepped forward when the number 9 jersey was awarded. The lithe figure known
only as Dan had very little to stand up against the big, burly Daniel de Souza (29, Internacional) and his entourage of paramilitary looking men, and onlookers could only look on horrified as the Crabs player was taken away in a black limousine.Dan's whereabouts are unknown, while De Souza has taken the No. 9 jersey by fait accompli.

Tomorrow’s opening match in Barranquilla is expected to be called off, after president of Colombia Iván Duque made a televised address to the nation in the nationwide news at 10pm. Meanwhile, president of Argentina Santiago Cafiero (41) questioned the wisdom of holding matches in his country.


A CONMEBOL spokesperson finally made a statement at midnight US Eastern time, noting that "while the safety of our players is still uncertain, we feel it is inappropriate to let the tournament continue as scheduled. We are undertaking conversations with all relevant parties and wish to see a resolution soon."


As the drama trickled across American live television, journalist Virginia Vallejo (71), speculated the move could be the beginning of a coup against Duque by the leftist guerrilla FARC. Pop stars Melanie Martínez (25) and Shakira (43) were less certain, urging to letting the situation play out while imploring CONMEBOL and the relevant authorities to take swift action. Fox Sports US rapidly contacted their UK division for information about how to fill the content void.

Crabs coach Joao Souza (57), rumoured to be involved with all parties, was unavailable for comment.
