Fantasy World Cup Live Match Day 15
It’s hard to believe that the group stages come to an end today! We’ve had a great two weeks of football and those of us under the age of 40 will probably agree that at this stage it is the best World Cup which we remember. We’ve already said goodbye to England, adios to Spain and arrivederci to Italy and today we could conceivably be saying adeus to Portugal…oh and let’s not forget that Luis Suarez has once more upset the holy joes!!
First up today is Group G as the US face Germany while Portugal square up to Ghana. A draw between the Germans and the Yanks will see both qualify for the next round and word on the street is that Angela and Obama have had a natter on the blower and everything has been arranged, this would see the Germans top the group. Should there be a positive result one way or the other in this game then both Portugal and Ghana will hope to take advantage with a victory, but with the Portuguese currently on a goal difference of minus 4, they’ll need a minor miracle…maybe they know a few holy joes?!!!
The final group to come to a conclusion is Group H, with Belgium having already qualified after two workmanlike victories and the Belgians will claim top spot in the should they secure at least a point from their game against South Korea. 2nd spot in the groups is very much up for grabs, although a win for Algeria over the Russians will see them progress, while a draw could possibly be enough.
Well, I think that Josh has pipped me into the last 16 by a solitary point. Rather disappointed that I brought in KDB for Benzema- should’ve listened to Potty! I was hoping he’d get on the field, but you just can’t rely on subs in this game it seems. (The combined 20pts of Zabs and Pjanic on my bench is also rather frustrating)
Great battle in the group though, and top marks to Quallathon and Josh, and Eddy too- this has been a great contest throughout and I think the four of us compare well to anyone else in the draw. Good luck in the next round guys!
Wow… that was very nerve-wracking haha that was a great run Pippin. If you were in any other group, you definitely would have advanced. Just unlucky with the draw.
Cheers Pippin, It’s been a great contest in our group and I have really enjoyed the battle. The whole Pjanic thing made a big difference as I put him in, so really it was a 28 point turn around just on him. Rodriguez of Switzerland’s clean sheet and 13 points yesterday also helped big time.
Thanks Potty for what has been a brilliant competition so far, It has really added some spice to it all and I am Looking forward to the last 16.
All will be revealed in my Article tomorrow.

Yep Gasco, It’s unlimited transfers this round and you can go to 4 players per team. You then get 6 changes per round for the remaining game-weeks.
It says transfers are unlimited in each round Init????
Apologies, your talking about the Mirror game. I’ll go to bed!!!!!!
