Fantasy World Cup Live Match Chat Last 16

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”.

Saturday sees four South American countries battling it out for the first two quarter-final spots. Sounds like a proper excuse for a turf war to me. Brazil take on Chile, their South American rabbits, or chinchillas, if you prefer. The home crowd will be baying for more Neymar magic – good luck to them, personally watching Fred and the Incredible Hulk has been far more entertaining for me.

Next up sees Mito’s heroes Colombia aim to come through bite-free, alive and victorious against everyone’s new favourite enemies, Uruguay. That’s unless you’re from Uruguay or Liverpool, of course.

Sunday sees LVG’s Netherlands take on the bandits of Mexico in a clash which sees the great entertainers try to prise through a stubborn and tight defence. The late game is your chance to surprise your partner – turn off the telly and make their day with the comment, “i think i need a break from the World Cup darling, let’s go out for a drink” – little will they realise that Costa Rica vs Greece is about to start, you’ve chucked in your cheap defenders on the off chance for a clean sheet and the brownie points are banked for the week’s more exciting matches.

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.

  1. Yo…

    Anyone NOT got J. Rod as capt’….?

    • unless they dont have him, no……

    • Took Cuadrado as a differential :-/

      • I feel your pain mate.
        We think along way too similar lines you and i. As per closeness of predictions scores, doubles strategy, and now this. I went Gutierrez. As least your guy got an assist!
        Long way to go.

    • I have him but forgot to switch the captaincy off Neymar… sad

    • Bigpopz, some good news for you….

      I (your H2H opponent) have JRod in my squad. However… In a moment of “i know, i’ll ignore the obvious JRod for captain BS and rely on my research of Colombia vs Uruguay in the qualifiers to tell me that as a sneaky differential i’ll go for Gutierrez as captain instead! “. Talk about over thinking it!

      Advantage to you sir.

      smile

  2. Dohh..

    Wish I could re-pick my squad again..!

  3. Now i may keep him.

    James goal, Cuadrado assist

    :big-lol:

  4. Chins, you about ?

  5. J-Rod on 14 (28) pts after CS is added. Not sure that is enough for a captain for me.

    • Tekno -whats your captains scored so far? Im pretty happy with 26

      • 1: Neymar – 28 pts
        2: Benzema – 32 pts
        3: Neymar – 32 pts

        I have Müller, Benzema, and Messi remaining, and I think all of them have the potential to outscore J-Rod. You’d expect one of them to at least get a similar score, so I don’t think there’s too much risk involved with changing captain really. Haven’t decided whether or not to change yet though.

        • well played Tekno. I had Neymar , Messi and Neymar.

          dont think at this point Ill be moving him on

  6. The FA have announced that England will play a friendly against Iceland, then after that they will play 1 against Tesco and 1 against Asda. :big-lol:
