Fantasy World Cup Live Match Day 14
This evening sees the culmination of Groups E & F. It’s Group F to kick us off as Argentina meet Nigeria – Argentina have already qualified without being anywhere near their best, but a win for Nigeria would see the Africans secure top spot. However, should Nigeria lose and Iran can beat Bosnia then it’s all down to goal difference as to who goes through with the Argies.
The late night matches in Group E should also provide plenty of excitement and tension. The French have pretty much qualified – only an unlikely last game disaster and heavy defeat would see les Frogs eliminated. The more likely battle is for the other qualification place with both Ecuador and the Swiss battling to proceed – Ecuador currently hold the position but may well need to beat the French as one would expect the Swiss to defeat Honduras.
Argentina starting XI vs. Nigeria: Romero; Fernández, Garay, Zabaleta; Rojo, Gago, Mascherano, di María, Agüero, Messi, Higuaín.
A tad surprised a few of the big guns weren’t rested…
Zaba, Rojo, Di Maria, and Messi. Glorious!
Suprised, but at least it’s a nice surprise
Touché, I have 3 of which I feared for all of them. I was worried about being able to field 11 point scoring players if the Argies and the French were to do a Columbia and ring the changes…
Technically France could still go out, so i think they will play a strong team too.
Rumours abound that France will make quite a few changes!
I’ve only one, Valbuena, so so long as he gets a gig, i won’t mind. The Argentinian line up was the one i was bothered about. Might have struggled to get 11 without Messi, Rojo, and DiMaria.
I’ve got Valbuena & Evra.
I’m pleasantly surprised to see di Maria and Higuain play…wasters!!
Hi guys got Zabaleta and Rojo Also got Montazari Iran can only pay 2 ????
One of em will surely go on strike if you don’t pay them
Anyone got the Iranian line up please?
Here you go Mutts
IRAN XI: Haghighi; Montazeri, Hosseini, Sadeghi, Pooladi; Nekounam, Teymourian, Hajisafi, Shojaei, Dejagah; Goochannejad.
Cheers Kop.
Apparently this is ITV’s England XI for Euro 2016!!
Hart
Walker, Stones, Cahill, Shaw
Gerrard
Townsend, Oxlade, Barkley, Lallana
Sturridge
Andy Townsend on the right wing?
This is a mad line-up, it’s even more lacking in defensive midfield cover than we had this time!! Plus we need a new right back- Walker is not the answer for me (Clive)
Andy would probably be better than Andros!!!
Did they say who they thought the Manager would be?
Cookie
I’ve won the Champions League several times on Football Manager. Think I could do a good job.
First mistake. Didn’t sub in Zabaleta. This might be the moment that Quallathon/Josh catch me
Zab’s clean sheet gone already…
Ha, at least that’s his would-be clean sheet taken care of!!
Got lucky there Pippin haha. Do you have Messi?
Hahaha. Yeah right!
No Walcott, Rooney, or Wilshere? Gerrard will be like 36-37 by then right :cuckoo:
Bosnia & Herzegovina starting XI vs Iran: Begovi?, Vršajevi?, Kolašinac, Spahi?, Šunji?, Beši?, Pjani?, Džeko, Suši?, Hadži?, Ibiševi?.
Nigeria XI vs. Argentina: Enyeama; Omeruo, Yobo, Ambrose, Oshaniwa; Mikel, Onazi; Babatunde, Musa, Odemwingie; Emenike,.
So you can’t do a 5-2-3
I’m not surprised Calvin…you cant do it in the FPL either.
