2011 Military World Games (Football)

The 2011 Military World Games, officially known as the 5th Military World Games, are due to take place in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil in July 2011. The 5th Military World Games will be the largest military sports event ever held in Brazil, with approximately 4,900 athletes from over 100 countries competing in 24 sports.

The World Military Cup is a football competition for national military teams. It is organized by the International Military Sports Council (CISM). The tournament has been held since 1946 and was originally called the World Military Championship. The name changed for the 2001 edition. When the multi-sport Military World Games was set up in 1995 the football championship was incorporated into it, but it is still being held independently every two years.

I'm having trouble finding which teams are taking place. Anyone know?

Do they get to use guns?

I wonder if any of these guys ever got scouted by a professional club.

I don't know, but in Egypt it's the other way around. Since it's technically mandatory for every male to enter the army, the army team just uses some professional players.

They should put claymores down on the goal line

Yeah.

We won 5 titles overall and are defending champions. Won 4 in the last 5 competitions.

They should play a real life game of Search and Destroy

goals will decide the games, but its the team that gets them kill-streaks going that will have the advantage. Two words. Napalm strike. Everyone will be rushing to the dug-out

Going to Eygpt tommorow!

Egypt have expectedly booked their place in the Military World Games final with an easy 5-0 victory over Qatar to set a meeting with Algeria next week.

Goals from Nour Al-Sayed, Ahmed Mekki (twice), Shikabala and Ayman Hefni comprised the thumping win for the holders.

Algeria, on the other hand, beat hosts Brazil 3-1 on penalties to book a final place against their North African neighbors.

The Egypt military team are deemed firm favorites to retain their title, given that they are the only side in the tournament with high-profile professional from the domestic league.

Does Egypt have any actual soldiers in the team? Or 100% professionals?

Shikabala is like Egypt's best professional player and he is on the team. Shikabala is still technically on duty in the military. I'm not sure if there are any players on the team that aren't professional.

The USA has zero metals in any sport.

least the Egyptians have a soccer medal of some sort

We got the bronze medal in the 2001 FIFA U20 World Cup.

We seem to have a lot of competitors in these military world games.

Surprised Venezuela isn't good at this.

Algeria beat Egypt in the final and a huge fight takes place after the final whistle. Ahmed Eid (Egypt) is such an idiot. He is always causing shit wherever he is playing.
