Fantasy World Cup Live Match Chat Day 6
Ok, so today could be interesting! Group stage 1 ends and Group stage 2 begins. If only it were that simple… Just so we are all perfectly clear here there are three games today. The first and the last ones are in stage 1, the Brazil game in the middle is actually the start of stage 2. Now how McDonald’s choose to handle this quirk could be anybody’s guess and judging by the way they have handled the whole fiasco so far we are not holding our breath on this being a smooth transition! Please keep us updated throughout the day if anyone notices anything to indicate that Group stage 2 is open on their site.
As for the games themselves we begin at 5pm with Belgium vs Algeria. This could be a game with plenty of fantasy interest, some intentional and perhaps some not! Hazard, De Bruyne, Lukaku and the Belgian defence all proved popular choices prior to the tournament so it will be interesting to see if they can deliver on that promise. The Algerians inadvertently attracted equal attention due to their plethora of £1m squad fillers. Judging by the amount of botched formation changes though, a lot of people could be cheering on the Algerians!
It’s then back to the hosts Brazil as they and Mexico face off for their second games of the tournament at 8pm. Last time out Neymar and Oscar delighted while Fred frustrated but can the golden boys shine again against a Mexico side who also began the tournament with a decent victory over Cameroon.
We round the evening off and indeed stage 1 at 11pm as Russia and South Korea take their tournament bows. It’s difficult to think of two countries who have courted as much political controversy as of late so whether this encounter will provide some light relief for their fans we shall see but one things for certain, whatever the outcome, the Koreans will be informed with glee of their glorious 5 – 0 victory.
How the fuck can I be rank 343705 overall with 137 points
I got 119 points in GW 1 and my GW rank is 4740. How can one match make me drop 340 000 spots when I got 18 points from that match?
Tenko i wouldn’t trust it buddy , mind is saying i have 188 pts where it should read 88
Teckno its simple
no no no no no no no no no no no no There’s no Limit (what McDonalds can do)..
Potty
Tekno, same, apparently I am on 187 and ranked 227879, both of which seem as random as yours. I should at least be above you with my fake score surely?!
yep, the total scores thing must be completely wrong. it gives my round score as 110 or whatever and then 220 for my total score. nothing is going right for the guys who built this game! can’t understand people pulling out of the Potty leagues though- surely it’s more hassle to bother quitting the league than staying in… :cuckoo:
Ah, some people have total scores that are way higher than their actual scores. That explains it.
Oh no…….
Poor Akinfeev. Can’t make a blooper like that in the WC.
That’s bollox keeping – I’m sulking and going to bed. But I won’t pull out the league, don’t worry Potty. Night all. :hippo:
laters Mr C
Ranks are proper now! I’m 7787 overall. Still can’t see league rankings though -_-
Nice rank Tekno. Is that McDs or Mirror?
Sure that is McDonald’s.
Well alrighty then.
Hows your assult on all thing WC Fantasy working out so far Mito?
Anyone else around from Potstar D? Wondered how you doing? I am on 91 after round 1 (99 total score).
not I Seren. Hoping these 90-odd scores we’re registering is just us giving others a little head start and we’ll soon by knocking them off their perch!! How you doing?
Still shaking my head at my T20 performance (and quietly nodding in respect at yours)
Indeed. Still 2 rounds left before knock out, some of my team were just treating it as a warm up round
I’m sure they will haul in the points from now on. I’m doing well enjoying the wc and even the mc fantasy game – gives interest to those matches you would never be interested in.
All is happy in the serendipity house especially after completing the panini sticker book
. I hope my son remembers my efforts in years to come.
I’m not sure my T20 performance I maintainable but enjoying it too. Amazing at how addicted I am to these things so soon
.
Yeah it’s a bit worrying isn’t it! My last thoughts before sleep were along the lines of “bloody Russian goalie”!!!
Don’t think I ever completed a panini album, that takes me back, used to love all that – sure if I gave little William a sticker he’d just try to eat it, post it in the aircon unit or hide it wherever he’s hidden my Sopranos series 3 episode 8-11 dvd – little bugger!
