A friendly match means nothing! Only FIFA world cup matters ![Smiley :)](https://forum.battlemaster.org/Smileys/default/smiley.gif)
Unless Ibladesh funds SoA, more nobles mean nothing. Sirion held off for this long b/c they had dedicated nobles who were well funded. Now that Fontan lost most of her duchies, Fontan cannot build up an army large enough to fight Sirion. SoA isn't much of a challenge once Fontan dies unless Westmoor kicks in.
You mean the cup they haven't won in 20 years?
