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.
KDB, and I kept Hazard for the round of 8 rather than him, Doh !
Jurgen definitely needs to get his boots on and on the pitch now…
I don’t care how well Lukaku does tonight ! He killed me. In EPL last season and he killed me in group stages of WC,I know he’s young (21??) but just too inconsistent to grace any FF team of mine again!!
I think Jose agrees with you on that
Though you/Jose might want to reconsider now?
Unfortunate that Jurgen has someone with the initials AH sitting next to him on the bench, is it an Adolf?
I wish I could be as consistently right as I am so consistently wrong lol
I’d be a millionaire if that was the case!!!
Howard must be on 15-20 points he’s been amazing!!!
Aaah KDB’s a big softy (or crapping himself about possible retribution!)
Just a great sportsman, nice too see.
