Eras CEFA World Cup History Revamp

Greetings! It's me, Pry! Lead RP mod. @BritishBayonet and @Predice are hard at work organizing the 2021 CEFA World Cup for Eras! However it has come to our attention that the history of the CEFA World Cup was made without much community input. So in light of Highton's absence we are embarking on a project to revamp the history of the CEFA World Cup where everyone will have a say!

First- the issue I suspect most of you will bring up; canon. Yes, as flawed as Highton's methodology was many of you have run with it as canon. We understand that, and the system I am about to lay out will take canon into account and give everyone as much of a chance as possible to preserve it.

Second- the 2019 World Cup's results will not be altered. This project is in place to rectify flawed policies regarding World Cup history. The 2019 World Cup was fully simulated and RP'd though, and will be canon. So Goyanes' 2019 victory and Andrenne's status as runner-up is maintained.

Onto the project!

Part 1: Ranking
Please rank the three most popular sports in your nation.

Part 2: Popularity Strength
Please rate how popular football/soccer is in your nation, from 0 (unknown) to 10 (football crazy).

Part 3: League Strength
Please rate how popular/strong your nation's top flight football league is from 0 (not popular, weak league) to 10 (very popular, strong league)

Part 4: Posts
It's one thing to say "yes we are very good at football" but we want people to back that up. Please list all posts you've made IC worldbuilding or RPing football from before the date of 11 August 2021.

These stats will be put into a custom scorinator that will assign each nation allocation points. Assigning a point for a World Cup victory will cost you one point, and half a point for a runner up slot. Adjustments and additional points can be awarded to maintain established canon if necessary.

It's our hope that this will allow a World Cup history that is far more fairly arrived at and transparently constructed.

I understand that everyone is busy but we also need to eventually get working on this, so I am setting a deadline for 1 September 2021.

Difficult to answer, prior to the war, Predice had a very strong league, but due to the war, club budgets collapsed and players left. Prior to the war: 8, currently: 4, so a middle ground of 6.
(TL;DR, 6)
