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.
I think there is an error with the scores website i use, it says Algeria are winning 1-0.
WAAHAHAAAHHAAAHHAAAAHHHAAAAA
:big-lol:
Gits have left Vermaelen on the bench, could have played Halliche instead :cuss:
C’mon Belgium, you were one of my 3 favoured teams (got 3 players from each), the Argies played crap as well, at least France did well
Bring on Mertens!!!!! Or not…I have an Algerian defender so is not the end of the world if Belgium doesn’t score.
