Fantasy World Cup Live Match Chat Day 5 Well weโve had a great start to the World Cup and there has been plenty to talk about from the opening 4 days…the referees are as dodgy as Sepp, Vincente Del Bosque has morphed into David Moyes, United fans are drooling over the imminent arrival of Louis van Gaal and then thereโs England who despite playing well succumbed to the Italians. Today sees the worlds #1 player enter the fray as Cristiano Ronaldo and 10 other Portuguese lads take on Germany at 5pm…do the schedulers not realise that some of us have work?!! We suspect that much of the fantasy focus will be on the aforementioned Ronaldo as well as Germanyโs Mesut Ozil, while it will also be interesting to see if Miroslav Klose can equal the all time record for goals scored at the Wo...[Read More]
Fantasy World Cup Live Match Chat Day 4 Oh yeah baby, Sunday’s don’t get any better than this. Not only is it the last day of the US Open golf, but it’s also the Lord’s Test match. Oh and we have some T20 action to enjoy. And……wait for it…..four, yes four World Cup games! Get in there. Our day starts early, at 2am at Yaya’s Ivory Coast take on Kagawa’s Japan. Then you sleep and tell your partner to wake you up around midday. Go enjoy a lovely Sunday lunch and be ready for 5pm at the Swiss take on Ecuador….obviously not that exciting a game, but it’s just the build up to the evening. 8pm sees France take on Honduras and many of you will be looking to the likes of Benzema or Cabaye to produce a decent point’s tally for y...[Read More]
Fantasy World Cup Live Match Chat Day 3 Today’s the day we’ve all been waiting for – our hopes have been raised, we’ve been told that the group is a happy group and optimism within the camp is high. Yep, it’s time to see if these Colombians are truly as good as Mito keeps banging on about! They kick off day 3 at 5pmย as they tackle the stubborn Greeks. And then Group D comes to the party as Uruguay play Costa Rica –ย this is of course a chance to see Messrs Cavani and Suarez play together, if the latter is passed fit. And then it’s England – good ol’ England. Italy are the opponents and it’s likely to be a tight affair between two sides who generally start tournaments slowly. Kick off is not until 11pm UK time so book in for a late ...[Read More]

Fantasy Football World Cup Warm Up – Community Analysis Over to you….! As you may have guessed the usual team of FF247 writers are enjoying a bit of well earned rest and relaxation at the moment and they immensely enjoyed watching our 8 guest writers squirm uncomfortably under the pressure of coming up with the ‘Group Analysis’ for you all, which we are pleased to say went down a storm in the end. Well done to you all! Rather than bother the regular writers to do any detailed research when they are sunning themselves we felt it would be more relevant, and easier (!) to pull together in one article, what the community members are posting regarding the World Cup teams. We have seen many relevant and informative posts about the teams involved, be it line-ups for friend...[Read More]
