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.

Fair play to the Algies, really knocking the Gerries off their game. Evening all
It’s a fantastic performance from them so far Cookie.
Very impressed – I’m on a double German cs here and it ain’t comfortable
I’ve got Mbolhi, Halliche and Mueller on the pitch, with Mueller as Captain, would happily take the Algerian clean sheet right now and give Messi the armband tomorrow.
A Germany goal would be nice. Sorry Tekno haha.
As long as it’s scored/assisted by Müller and not by Lahm I won’t complain. Wouldn’t mind if it went to extra-time though, so M’bohli can keep racking up those save points! #nojinx
Noooo, need the clean sheat, the Krauts can have it on pens, they’re good at that.
Slimani really should have had at least 1 goal by now. Give me those points!
Can still get 100/1 on Algeria on betfair to lift the cup.
Any takers???
Mutts I’ll give ya 110/1!
£5 please
Knew you wouldn’t refuse that !!
laid it off on betfair at 105/1

Neuer is fucking crazy maaan.
He’s the best sweeper i’ve seen in this tournament.
Brilliant keeper.
