Like the FIFA World Cup, these matches will also be covered by ESPN - with our favorite wizards calling the action;
Harry: Well, kids; welcome to the Quidditch World Cup - Cartoon Quidditch, that is, heh heh! I still remember when we all went to that one Quidditch World Cup and saw Viktor Krum in action - yeah, we knew him before you did, Detroit Alicorns! But seriously, now our favorite our cartoons are representing their nations just as the Muggles are with their own FIFA World Cup, and what better way to kick things off with the "bird brawl?" It's Brazil vs. Finland. And I'm The Boy Who Lived, Harry Potter, with my minions Ron Weasley and Hermione Granger; we'll be bringin' you all the action here in London.
Ron: Yeah, well, it may be a bird brawl, but Brazil has the edge in the form of the human kung fu master they have in their ranks; Raimundo Pedrosa, the Xiaolin Dragon of Wind. I suppose it fits in with the birds, sort of. Plus, his ability to manipulate the air around him could let his bird friends use it to gain real unfair advantages against those angry Finnish birds.
Hermione: But that's not to say that Finland is without tricks of their own, Ron. Have either of you noticed the giant slingshot just standing there on the sidelines right by their coach and those pigs sitting on their reserve bench?
Harry: Uh, yeah. What about it?
Hermione: Well, I, uh, have a-
Ron: You're aren't gonna say you have a bad feeling about this, are you? Blimey, Hermione, I hate it when you say that!
Harry: Let's just get on with the match, guys.
...
Red: Kyseiset linnut luulevat niin kova vain koska he ovat ihmisen puolellaan!
Bomb: Joo, hän luultavasti voineet osua laaja puolella lato kanssa Quaffle.
Matilda: En tiedä, että kaveri näyttää aika kova minulle.
Chuck: Niin varmaan! Ilman häntä, he mitään. Jopa hänen kanssaan, he mitään! Tämä tulee olemaan kakku ...!
...
The Bludgers are up, followed by the Golden Snitch. In the stands, Brazilian and Finnish flags wave against one another while the Brazilian terror bird mascots Phorus and Rhacos and Finnish forest spirit mascot Ajatar exchange threatening squawks and hisses. Meanwhile, the Quaffle is tossed up by the referee.
Harry: The Quaffle is released, and the Cartoon Quidditch World Cup begins!
Being by far the largest character on the pitch, Raimundo Pedrosa easily snatches the Quaffle to gain possession for Brazil. Immediately, the Blue Birds - Jay, Jake and Jim - all go closing in on him at once.
Pedro: Yo, man, I'll take the Quaffle. You handle those guys!
With that, Raimundo tosses the Quaffle over to Pedro before the Blue Birds can swipe it. And then...
Raimundo: Typhoon Boom WIND!
Harry: Oh, and Raimundo just blew all those birds clean across the stadium in one move!
Ron: And there goes Pedro; he's wide open for the shot!
By simply clapping his hands together, Raimundo unleashes a sonic boom that develops a huge wind gust which blows the Blue Birds across to the other end of Twickenham Stadium. Now, with no opposition, Pedro has a clear shot at the Finland goal;
Hermione: And Matilda saves it for Finland!
Pedro: Aw, nuts!
Matilda: Lentää takaisin Arizona, tai St. Louis, tai Brasilia, tai missä olet kotoisin.
GAME BREAK
This Game Break takes us over to Emirates Park, where Australia and Peru are facing off. Right now, the match is still scoreless. Mumble the penguin has the Quaffle for Australia, and a clear field leading up to the Peruvian goal.
Kuzco: Just try throwin' off my groove, ya lousy- AAH!
Suddenly, a Bludger from Wallabee Beatles hits Emperor Kuzco right square in the stomach; as he doubles over, groaning and clutching his abdomen, Mumble slaps the Quaffle with his flipper right through an adjacent hoop, giving Australia a 10-0 lead over Peru in the early going.
BACK TO TWICKENHAM STADIUM
After her save, Matilda holds onto the Quaffle until the Blue Birds make it back to the action; when they do, Matilda tosses the Quaffle over to Jake.
Matilda: Ota se heille, kaverit!
Flying in a V formation, Jake, Jay and Jim charge up the pitch, easily outrunning Nico and Pedro.
Nico: How do those featherballs fly like that, man?
Pedro: Don't worry about it; Raimundo will take care of 'em.
Sure enough, Raimundo appears just in front of his team's scoring area, just about ready to hit the Blue Birds with another typhoon.
Raimundo: You want some more, eh?
Jay: Hiukan apua?
Chuck: Sait sen...!
Ron: BLOODY HEAD SHOT!
Harry: Right in the face, and Chuck's Bludger saves the Blue Birds, and-
Hermione: Wait, we have a penalty whistle! Looks like Jay and Jim forgot to fall back.
Before Raimundo can attack the Blue Birds, Chuck the Yellow Bird pops him in the face with a Bludger, clearing the way for Jake, Jay and Jim to advance to the Brazil goal. But the penalty whistle then blows before anyone can make a shot. As the Finnish fans boo and as Ajatar hisses angrilly, the referee makes the call;
Referee: Stooging. Finland, #10, 01 & 11. Penalty shot for Brazil!
Red: Etkö idiootit tiedä, että olet helppoja kohteita ryhmänä?
Phorus/Rhacos: (squawking maniacally)
With the Blue Birds all having been called for Stooging, Brazil is awarded with a free shot on goal. Much to the delight of the Brazilian fans, and abhorrence of the Finnish fans, it is Raimundo Pedrosa who steps up to take the free shot. But Terence the Big Brother Bird is determined to not let the Brazilians get the upper hand on them.
Terence: Minion Possu, päästä ritsa! Alikersantti Possu, valmiina ampumaan!
As Raimundo sizes up Matilda The White Bird, Terence has two of the Finnish team's pig minions get their giant slingshot ready; Minion Pig is the ammo while Corporal Pig is the trigger.
Raimundo: Alright, consider yourself bird crap!
Terence: Käynnistää!
...
Ron: Another head shot! And the penalty shot is no good!
Hermione: I TOLD you guys that Finland was up to no good with that slingshot of theirs!
As Raimundo is about to take his shot, he suddenly gets popped in the face again; this time by Minion Pig, who was shot right at him from the giant slingshot over on Finland's bench. Thus, the penalty shot is called as being no good, leaving Raimundo furious.
Raimundo: You have GOT to be kidding me... Phorus! Rhacos! SIC' EM!
Phorus/Rhacos: (savage squawking)
Terence: AAH! Juokse!
Harry: Wait a sec; while Finland is getting the Quaffle back, their bench is being attacked!
Ron: Blimey, those terror birds are gonna make a meal outta those pigs if someone doesn't step in.
Hermione: Speak of the devil, guys; that snake's coming to the-
Harry: Hold the thought, Hermione! Finland just scored!
Ron: Who cares? Their mascots are about to square off...!
On Raimundo's orders, the two terror birds Phorus and Rhacos - the mascots of the Brazilian side, go charging at the Finnish bench, squawking like savages while readying their wicked beaks for the kill. Terence the Big Brother Bird and the pigs are sent scattering, trying to avoid the birds' lethal beaks...
Even through it all, the Blue Birds pay no attention while everyone else is paying their fullest; this allows Jim the Blue Bird to sneak the Quaffle past Jewel the blue macaw Keeper and score a 10-0 lead for Finland. But all of the attention is being set towards the Finnish bench, as Ajatar, the Devil of the Woods and the mascot for the Finnish side, faces them in her snake form, staring intently into the eyes of Phorus and Rhacos as they start to suddenly become wobbly on their feet;
Ron: Blimey, those birds are puking!
Harry: That's Ajatar's power, Ron; anyone that looks her in the eye instantly becomes sick. She's like a watered-down basilisk, of sorts.
Hermione: Oh, God! And to think I was scared of the Brazilian mascots!
With Ajatar's powers, the terror birds have suddenly fallen ill, collapsing to their knees as a combination of painful shrieks and vomit spew out from their beaks. Mediwizards are dispatched to attend to the two creatures as Ajatar hisses triumphantly, hissing defiantly at the Brazilian fans in the stands as some of them start to suddenly come down with coughs...
But back to the Quidditch action, now. New life suddenly surges through the Brazilian crowd as Blu the blue macaw has spotted the Golden Snitch.
Ron: Oh man, it looks like Brazil could steal this one!
Harry: I don't know - Red the Red Bird is closing pretty fast!
Hermione: You know how you guys were talking before about this being a bird brawl? Well we got one comin' up, it looks like.
Harry: At least try and enjoy the action this time, Hermione...
GAME BREAK
This Game Break takes us over to Wembley Stadium, where China and England are facing each other. The score is 50-0, England. However, Viper, the Chinese resident kung fu snake and Seeker, is right on top of the Golden Snitch, ready to uncoil, strike, and snap the Snitch up in her jaws. So focused are her sharp snake senses that she is totally unaware of Robotboy flying right behind her, machine guns cocked, loaded and pointed...
Viper: AAH! You've commited a great dishonor...! (thud)
Viper's broom tail is torn to shreds by the bullets from Robotboy's guns, sending her helplessly collapsing to the ground with a bang. With her out of the way, Robotboy easily reels in the Snitch, and England defeats China 200-0.
BACK TO TWICKENHAM STADIUM
Red: Et voi kopioida taitoni, senkin papukaija!
Blu: You're lucky I don't know what that means...!
Ron: Blimey, we've got ourselves a cockfight!
Hermione: That's illegal, you know.
Harry: Who cares, it's awesome! Red vs. Blu - get it?! HA!
With the Snitch right in front of them, Red and Blu start snapping at each other mercilessly with their beaks, biting each other in their faces and on their wings just as viciously as they would be if they were fighting for territory or for mates (one of which Blu already has, but still).
This fight takes them on their way down by the Finnish bench; Red and Blu are still so busy snapping at each other that neither of them notice Terence and the pigs loading their giant slingshot again;
Terence: Käynnistää!
...
All: OH!
Harry: BLU'S DOWN! BLU IS DOWN! That slingshot has sealed this match!
Ron: Well he is flying under his own power, but there goes his broom, so...
Brazilian Fans: (booing harshly)
The slingshot scores a direct hit; the pig fired from it knocks Blu right off of his broomstick. While Blu is able to fly under his own power and save his own skin, he now lacks all of the speed capabilities that his broom gave him. So, as the Brazilian fans voice their displeasure, all Blu can do is look on helplessly as Red snaps at the Snitch with his beak...
Harry: That's the game! Red the Red Bird has the Snitch. The score; 160-0, Finland!
Brazilian Fans: (booing harshly)
Red: Voit kaikki helvettiin, Brasilia ... varten Suomi! WOO-HOO!
So that's that. Red the Red Bird catches the Snitch, and Finland defeats Brazil 160-0. Red gloats, taunting the Brazilian fans as they jeer him, while the Blue Cross Flag of Finland flies in hordes throughout the throng of Finnish supporters also in attendence, celebrating their very first victory in international Cartoon Quidditch competition...
