SPORTS: Dunder Mifflin and Wesellton Advance to Second Elimination Round

In Madrid and Barcelona, two more victories and defeats were made as Dunder Mifflin defeated Marland and Weselton crushed Tawia. Both advance to fight some of the most skilled players in the FIFA World Cup.

Today, in Madrid, the newly-famous team from Dunder Mifflin Incorporated defeated Marland 1-0 in a close match. Being a team comprised of paper salesmen and employees, this is probably one of the most singular feats in World Cup history. However, their future looks bleak as on Friday, they are scheduled to face of the dreaded team from the Gulf Empire. 

Weselton won a more sure victory against Tawia in 3-1 but they have to face off against Pollaya, another world football champion on Saturday. Tomorrow is also expected to be a tight match of Rizealand vs San Andreas and Waldbestland vs Southern Isles.

SPORTS: FIFA World Cup 2014 Opening Ceremonies


In a spectacular display of art, music, pomp, and fireworks, the 2014 World Cup has begun. 

The festivities of the 2014 World Cup ceremonies commenced at 8:00 PM in the massive Stade de France in Paris. The first show was one military might as a contingent of German recruits drilled on the football field and gave fantastic displays of military might.

During the marching, the Gulf flag was also brought into the arena by the Gulf football team and when the drilling was done, they set up the next stage. Beyonce and Jay-Z performed on the stage and then PSY performed gangnam style. After a massive display of lights and color, a Japanese choir came into the field and performed the "Ode to Joy". At the end of the song, a  huge firework show exploded in the distance from behind the Eiffel Tower. 

The ceremonies ended well and there was no accidents. All the Presidents of the football associations were present but there were no heads of state that attended, some speculate as a protest against the Gulf Empire. Check out our attached photos and videos for more on the event.

SPORTS: Teams Arriving in Gulf Empire for World Cup

Today in Paris and throughout the European Gulf Commonwealth, it is a busy day as the participating nations in the FIFA World Cup 2014 have their teams arriving.

Gulf security officials are busy at work as they coordinate the arrival of participants in the 2014 FIFA World Cup. Most of the runways as Charles de Gualle Airport have been closed to commercial flights and are being used for incoming flights from all the participating nations. According to a journalist on the ground, players are quickly taxied to special terminals where they go through a certain amount of extensive security before getting cleared. Once they have been cleared, they are shuttled by police-escorted buses to their residences.

So far, there have been no accidents thanks to extensive but perhaps sometimes overreaching security measures. All the venue locations, Paris, Catalonia, Madrid, Manchester, Munich, and Dortmund are still undergoing the finishing touches of preparation as tomorrow, the FIFA World Cup 2014 Opening Ceremonies are going to be hosted.
