Fantasy World Cup Live Match Chat Last 16, Day 3

Fantasy World Cup 2014

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.

Thanks for reading Fantasy World Cup Live Match Chat Last 16 Day 3- Good luck everyone!

  1. Seeing all these minnows performing so valiantly (England w ranking 11,Algeria 25 and Costa Rica 34) really highlights how inept we performed,shame on all our England stars! You don’t have to be a household name to play with passion and commitment and to be proud to represent your country.

    • +1

      Rooney probly gets paid more per week than both Algeria & Costa Rica teams put together…?

  2. Thought it was Slimani goal..?

    • Haha both players have goals at the moment!!

    • Bigpopz, the issuer of massive spankings! smile
      How you looking my friend? I fear our tie is over already.

      • Chins…

        Not over yet……fat lady & all that…?
        Confession….. I was secretly bricking it at the thought of your Kaiser captain mueller banging in a Hatrick …
        For some reason….(probly over tinkering)…. I didn’t have him…phew..!
        Cards on the table time….
        What you sayin’,…?

        • I’m saying i want to know how many points you’re willing to take out of your team to give me a chance! 😉

          I said it on an earlier post.. I’ve got 3 argies including the messy one, plus a belgian defender still to come in.

          What about you?

  3. I must say, when I went in to this match with a frontline of Müller, Slimani, and Djabou, I didn’t expect Müller to be the lowest scoring of the three…
    Won’t mind if he doesn’t get the assist added really, as I got Messi on the bench who I will bring on for one of them anyways.

    • Oh nooo, Slimani has a goal by mistake. Give the assist to Müller then!

  4. Well if anyone predicted that bollo@@@ tonight they deserve a world cup, evening everyone smile

  5. McDs……bless em, have both Slimani & Djabou as goal scorers…..toss a coin..?

  6. How depressing is this…
    Of my 11 players , only JRod has managed either a CS, Assist or Goal!

    Anyone had a total washout?

    • Chins I reckon cs are over-rated mate ive not had one for days!! smile

      • Ha Peaky! Too right mate.

        So what’s the plan for those getting knocked out in this round? Focus on getting a high a ranking as possible overall, bin the team, or join a league called the “nearer than the nearly boys, but not near enough” ? smile

      • I would get Mrs Wilkes to do some washing.
        Potty

    • Same here chins… still sitting on 90 points though so other ways of accumulating points I guess…

      • Thats a good score considering Bongo!

        How you placed in your match up / league?

        • Cheers mate, I’m not in Potty’s comps unfortunately (seems like great fun) currently sitting 2nd in the main FF247 league but plenty of time to balls that up… smile

        • Wow! Great effort! Good luck for the run in.

        • Cheers chins smile. Good luck to you too pal.
