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.
Dear o dear, I think it’s fair to say that the winner of Belgium-USA will reach the semi-final. How poor Argentina is at the moment, terrible.
Mr Morbid, you about?
Looking like our tie is going down to the wire – you are 103 to my 105 I think
Mr Dreamers,
I only have Hazard playing so no doubt you’ll have enough ammo to go through to the last 8.
Well played Dreamers and good luck in the next round.
All the best,
Mr Morbid.
Mr Morbid – I’ve only Van Buyden so Id say its all to play for really – only a few points on it
I still rather be in your shoes but whatever happens in this last few minutes its been a good scrap, well played my friend.
Hi All?
I see my Competitions are causing you all great grief?

Potty
Definitely mate. We’re all freaking out trying to make decisions hahahaha.
ya Potty – nice job. Ive my changes done. Mr Morbid has pulled me well back. I had a 20 odd point lead cut to 2….
grief grief ive been on the edge my sofa all night just scrapping 1 point at a time its so damn close
Right. My 11 point lead has been cut to 9. This means a (c) change i think…. bloody Van Buyten.
NIN – did you change?
Yep. Gap was too small. All or nothing now.
Arrgh now Shaqiri is on 6. When he had 5 it was an easy swap, but every point is precioooussss…
