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.
I bet many of you are humbled by the no show of Hummells?
Flu in Brazil?
Nonsense
Potty
Potty, i’m disgusted with it! My squad has crumbled this round so it looks like i’m on the way out of your tournament. Balls.
Welcome to the first XI Mr Halliche, Mr Lacen and Mr Mueller.
Big points from you all please.
Only got 3 Argies and a Belgian defender to bring in. Currently got 5 players on 5 or less and the 3 above about to play.
Need a miracle.
Chins who is your Captain?
And from whom?
Potty
Hi Potty,
Just switched it to Mueller from Valbuena. Was holding off hoping that he’d get credited with at least 1 assist. No such luck.
What about you mate?
I am on Debauchy who got me 28pts but will Muller get more?
Your thoughts?
Potty
depends if you’re struck by a number of benched Algerians or sickly Germans mate. Many people look like they won’t have full team after ofter-eager substitutions. I’d be canny and sit tight, unless you’re chasing in a H2H?
Oooh. Toughie. I’d stick i think. Although, if you’ve got Messi on the bench and you think he’ll get the armband, then you might as well give Mueller a chance first.
I’d switch to Muller.
So I thought I was putting in too many Algerians and Germans when I made my team. Had 8 total (5 Algerians and 3 Germans), but now I’m a little relieved when I find out 3 of them don’t start. So I still have 4 in this game. No Hummels, Djabou, or Bentaleb though.
NiN
You would give it to a pot of yoghurt in Mullerlite
Potty
Hahaha. At this rate, yes, yes i would! ha.
Hi Potty. I am playing everything other than doubles including mls and AFL. Austrailian rules football now that is totally different 30 players 22 on the field
