Fantasy World Cup Live Match Chat Day 13
When Group C kicks off we are in for a treat with the Uruguay vs Italy game. Uruguay finds themselves in a must win situation, whereas Italy will be happy with a point to advance. Let’s see if Luis Suarez can produce magic against real defenders or if the most interesting man in the world Pirlo will even break a sweat. Considering the teams this promises to be an absolute can’t miss game.
In the other Group C match up we have the eliminated Costa Rica…sorry I meant England vs the surprising “Pura Vida” squad. One suspects that even the mothers and girlfriends (or boyfriends) of the players will be glued to the screen watching the other group game. So unless you are a die-hard 3 Lions follower (my respects) please don’t bother and yes this is an intervention. Step away from those who have hurt you over and over and over again.
In Group D we see Colombia vs Japan take place in a must win game for the Asian Country/Island/Island-Nation or whatever you prefer to categorize them as. Surely we will see the Japanese go in Kamikaze style looking for a goal differential that gives them a small chance of advancing. Colombia is expected, but not guaranteed to make a substantial amount of subs which will help them be fresh for the second round.
Greece vs Cote D’Ivoire sees the African nation looking for a win to secure their safe passage, even though a tie is likely to get them by also. Greece on the other hand need to win and get some help from the Colombians. If you think watching Greece defend is boring than we are in for a treat. Nothing like watching a team with no ideas going forward desperate to score.
Suarez.
hahahahahahahahahahahahahaha hahahahahahahaha hahahahahahahahahaha.
Liverpool fans be like Chiellini put his shoulder in Suarez’s mouth…

Captain Arias, Karnezis, Manolas or Drogba?
Arias or Manolas for me
I have 2 decisions to make
1. Keep the Costa Rica Goalie (8pts) or gamble on the Greece goalie.
2. Keep the armband on Gustavo (12pts, 24pts as captain) or gamble ( I have cuadrado, benzema, di Maria)
What do you think?
Cricket finished? 😉
I’m keeping my keeper on 8.
I’d also possibly stick on that as a captain.
Depends if you are chasing at this stage but I wouldn’t risk too much at this point as those are both decent hauls.
Thanks init. I am trying to talk myself out of captaining cuadrado – round 3 is an odd one adds an extra crazy dimension.
Currently leading my group so maybe time to be conservative, but they are catching.
Talking of cricket – just played my wildcard ……. Needed to do something after my score so far this week.
Argentina are through already, don’t bank on DiMaria starting!
