Fantasy World Cup Live Match Chat Semi Finals

And then there were four. It’s semi-final time at the World Cup and very much a South America vs Europe affair. We’ve said a sad farewell to Colombia, who received an amazing reception when they returned to Bogota. Also offski are Costa Rica, who played with so much heart and a stubborn defence throughout the tournament, while Belgium and France have also exited stage left.

Our first semi-final sees hosts Brazil take on the World Cup’s Herr Consistent, Germany. Since 1950, the Germans have failed to reach at least the quarter-final stage on just one occasion and will be looking to add to their three stars by going all the way. Brazil, of course, will have home support on their side – unfortunately for them they won’t have influential defender and captain Thiago Silva or their main attacking threat, Neymar, on their side – they are ruled out through suspension and injury respectively. But it’s ok, Germany have Mesut Ozil, which evens things up somewhat. The Germans were back to their robotic best in disposing of France, while Brazil produced their best display of the tournament, certainly in the first half as they fought, literally, past the plucky Colombians.

The second semi brings together Argentina and the Netherlands, both of whom have somewhat stuttered through so far. The Dutch needed penalties to find a way past Costa Rica, which will be an obvious concern for LVG as he attempts to plot a way past the Argentinian defence which has kept two clean sheets in a row. If recent form is anything to go, goals may be at a premium here, so it may just be a moment of magic from Lionel Messi, Arjen Robben, Gonzalo Higuain or RvP which settles the tie. Worth noting that Angel Di Maria has been ruled out with injury, but better news of Sergio Aguero, who is expected to have recovered from (his latest) injury in time for the showdown.

Thanks for reading Fantasy World Cup Live Match Chat Semi Finals – Good luck everyone!

    Am i flying solo in the SkySports FF game? It’s an awful b****x to get a good team together as the budget/market prices are all over the shop. Still, there’s over £100k to be won over the course of the season with a big £30k for the overall winner. Not to be sneezed at, eh? I think it’s three teams per profile too so anyone who wants to give it the full wellie can do so.

      Hi NIN, I must admit it’s the one FF game I could never take to. We tried to start a league last season on here, well actually it was on FFC then, but the interest was so low I think the league consisted of me and either Gasco or Muts and I gave it up after about 6 weeks.

      • NIN says:

        Howdy init. Haha, yeah it’s not the greatest of games, that’s for sure. I haven’t tried my hand at it in a long time so i don’t know if the rules for this season are new or a follow on from last season, but they’re interesting enough for me to give it a whirl this time round. And of course the cash prizes! Serious money to be had for the lucky winners.

      This is a goal! Right?

      • inittowinit says:

        Don’t get Raz’s hopes up mate! It’s not a goal unfortunately. In a shoot out once the ball comes forward again it’s inactive without going into the finer detail of the actual rule. This is different to a normal penalty in a game. It looks like it hit him on the way out as well which is the final nail in that one I’m afraid as that cannot count then regardless.
