OOC: WEEEE! Okay, I provided the HTML for the quick profiles for your players, which can be posted in the comment section here so that family, friends, and fans can comment and have fun :D Take your time with posting them, and if you have inspiration, post some for the non-played characters that you named ~~Matteo Basili we're looking at YOU!~~

Images are supposed to be from interviews, so try not to be super fashion shoot/super model with them (size is 350 x 400). Photo call shoots work great :D

I also recommend filling it out in your CDJ first because I know how much one wrong bit of html can ruin your day LMFAO

To whom it may concern,

I'm very disturbed to hear that you don't have your players wearing the appropriate attire to be playing for the World Cup. The severe lack of sequence and glitter I see on the player uniforms is appalling. We all know it's annoying as fuck, but I've been told it is, and I quote, "essential to proper aerodynamics" and I demand this issue be addressed sooner rather than later.

Signed,
