So, it’s finally out. The Yuri Shinkai Gakuen team is facing the Indomitable Spirit All-Star Super Team in their upcoming match.

As team-names go, this one does not speak of a lack of confidence. It has a clear message and high aspirations. And it is memorable, which is important for me and my rapidly failing memory. Had I given the team a more subtle name, I’d might have forgotten it by the time I had to put it into a strip for the second time.

Of course, the club war originally founded as Walmington-on-Sea United. But, yeah, that didn’t really have the same kind of ring to it.

Given that the second-seeded team has such a strong moniker, I can’t help but wonder what the first-seeded team is called. >_> <_<

But, yeah, the name only confirms that our team are, as Yogi put it, the overwhelming underdogs. Which means the other team would need to turn out as being underwhelming overdogs in order to lose, and who has ever heard of something like that?

The odds are stacked against our guys, or can that period they spent off the face of the earth make a difference?

More on Monday.
