MESPN Exit Interview With Gondor

MESPN: So guys, what went wrong this year?

Anarion: Not much, honestly. We did what was necessary through the friendlies and group play and most of that last game, but in the end it was Bombadil.

Eldacar: Indeed. I think we played him correctly- he just one-upped us.

MESPN: How do you think you would've fared in the next round against AC Beleriand?

Anarion: Good question. Let's see... I think Feanor would be a potential Bombadil for us- just depends on if he makes the plays. But I think we'd deny the ball to their front line pretty well and possess decently.

Eldarion: I think we'd score. Our set-piece execution and across the board size and power- I would hope we wouldn't be shut out.

MESPN: So what- a draw?

Anarion: I think we'd both get a goal, and the third of the contest would be the winner one way or the other.

MESPN: So you think your team is pretty well where it needs to be?

Anarion: Yes.

MESPN: So, no changes next year?

Eldacar: Word is the nautical teams (Havens & Sea) have been trying to talk to a couple of the players here, but I wouldn't expect much turnover.

MESPN: And the salaries?

Anarion: The teams altogether were overpriced a bit this year, so we'll likely correct very slightly down.

Eldarion: Though Anarion here has probably earned himself a little salary bump.

Eldacar: Quite right- fine tournament, captain! I think you might be the overall phantasy point leader right now!

Anarion: Thanks, thanks, but I have you all to thank for that of course.

MESPN: All right- glad to see you're optimistic. Nice tournament, and see you next year.

Anarion: See you later.

MESPN Exit Interview With Doriath

MESPN: So- no championship repeat then.

Melian: No indeed. It's tough to repeat at Arda Cup.

MESPN: But you were at least in the playoffs pushing a fine team to the brink.

Melian: Yes, I don't think our performance was anything to be ashamed of. We're disappointed, but we played decently and don't feel like we were out of contention.

MESPN: So, what about off-season acquisitions?

Melian: I'm sure there will be a couple. If I had to guess, I'd say we'll lose at least one of our current players, as the other Beleriand squads will be coming after them. We've got good talent, and talent always draws attention.

MESPN: But you have replacements lined up?

Melian: Well, I'm fairly certain my dear husband will be returning, so there's at least one. It's too early to say more, however.

MESPN: All right. Thanks a lot for your time.
