Fantasy World Cup Live Match Chat Last 16, Day 4
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”.
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.
Jurgen was horrified with that Wondalowski miss
So was i!! It would have hurt my FF team but still…. the drama! Oh well.
extra time again !!!
This is too much.
Come on the US!
How did he miss that? Awful effort.
guys if usa score in extra time do I lose my Belgium c/s in the 1st 90mins ??? still confuses me as I know they still get points
Yep, you’ll lose it. Even if your player gets subbed off and they then concede the CS will be lost, as far as i know.
many thanks
I think goals scored in extra time kill clean sheets
It does allow defenders subbed on to clock up the 61 mins needed for a CS though, but they do have to get to end of 120mins without conceding
cheers mate
KDB scores,
Fill your boots lads
