Fantasy World Cup Live Match Chat Last 16, Day 3
Morning Chins 😉 Welcome to the last 16 of the World cup – or the round of 16 as some choose to call it, or the first knockout stage. In fact, call it what you want – either way, it’s sudden death time – lose and you go home, outta here, offski and this will likely mean that your coach resigns or gets the chop or in England’s case receives a pat on the back and a “bad luck old chap”.
Monday is Europe vs Africa day. France vs Nigeria get’s us going – hopefully goals is the order of the day and a game akin to Nigeria’s 3-2 loss to Argentina will do very nicely, thanks lads. The evening gives us another viewing of ze Germans as zey take on ze plucky, mucky, lucky (delete as per your personal preference) Algerians. Both European sides will be favourites to go through, but it’s been a World Cup of surprises thus far so mustn’t count our chickens quite yet.
The final day of the round sees the Argies back on display as they attempt to neutralise the Swiss – that shouldn’t be tricky. However, with the likes of di Maria and Higuain quiet so far and Aguero injured (obviously), it’s been down to little Leo to carry the Argies through the group. Easy then, mark Messi out the game and you’ll be fine – how many times have we heard that before?! Switzerland’s only chance of course is if Shaqiri turns on the style and his hat-trick vs Honduras will leave him feeling on top of his game.
The round is concluded as Belgium take on the US of A. Could be a tough one to call this as Belgium have hardly set the tournament on fire as yet, while the Yanks have surprised many with their courage and adventure. Klinsmann of course, has been here before and knows what it takes to get through this stage of the tournament and there’ll surely be cries of “Mashed potato” and “You’re the man” if awesome talisman Dempsey can lead America through to the quarters, or quarter finals, or last 8, or the round of 8…..we’ve gone full circle here.
Enjoy, select your squad’s wisely and good luck.
Hahahahaha Müller. That was great.
Haha. World class.
I’ve got Halliche in defence with 3 points!!!
No blocked shots or recovered balls. Absolute bull.
Someone from FIFA needs to watch a video of this!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Same. Would we get a clean sheet if it goes to extra time and then they concede?
I don’t think so, unfortunately.
Don’t we get clean sheet points for 90 mins and then lose points for goals conceded in extra time?
****Actions occurring in extra-time count towards player points. However, penalty shoot-outs have no effect on player points.
Here u go Chins so u need 120 mins for a cs now!!
For me the points haven’t updated in at least 30 min. I have M’bohli on 9 points, but he’s probably on 15 at least. Shudda capped him
Fair play to Algeria. I hope they go on and get the win now. Great performance.
have they stopped giving Mbolhi save points?
CS included i have him on 17 points so far. Still showing 9 though, odd.
the CS wont be given if they score in ET though NIN?
Nope.
Drat, Drat, and double Drat!
What is Townsend talking about
“That’s top class skill”
No you muppet it’s a misskick!!!
