Fantasy World Cup Live Match Day 15
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 ...[Read More]
Fantasy World Cup Live Match Day 14
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 disaste...[Read More]
Fantasy World Cup Live Match Chat Day 13
Fantasy World Cup Live Match Chat Day 13 When Group C kicks off we are in for a treat with the Uruguay vs Italy game. Uruguay finds themselves in a must win situation, whereas Italy will be happy with a point to advance. Let’s see if Luis Suarez can produce magic against real defenders or if the most interesting man in the world Pirlo will even break a sweat. Considering the teams this promises to be an absolute can’t miss game. In the other Group C match up we have the eliminated Costa Rica…sorry I meant England vs the surprising “Pura Vida” squad. One suspects that even the mothers and girlf...[Read More]
Fantasy World Cup Live Match Chat Day 12
Fantasy World Cup Live Match Chat Day 12 Australia play Spain in the dead rubber of dead rubbers at 5pm. Both teams have been eliminated already – Australia unluckily, Spain disgracefully. How they both approach the game is anybody’s guess and we could be n for a 5-5 just as easily as a 0-0. In the same group Holland face Chile and with both having qualified we may have a similar scenario here but hopefully each will be attempting to win in the hope of avoiding Brazil in the next round but even that may be folly depending on the results later. Group A concludes at 9pm. Cameroon are...[Read More]
Pottys Perfect 32 and Dodgy 32 World Cup Leagues
Pottys Perfect 32 and Dodgy 32 World Cup Leagues So at last on the 12th of June the waiting came to an end and the World Cup began with Brazil winning 3-1 against Croatia, but that was only a sideshow as another huge event rolled into town which was the World of Potty and these 2 mammoth competitions. 64 crazy fools doing battle against one another to win the Holy Grail and get named the Potty Champion of the World. Now below are all the groups in both comps and the participating managers, so lets finally see who is in your group. The top two from each group qualify for the next round just lik...[Read More]
Fantasy World Cup Live Match Chat Day 11
Fantasy World Cup Live Match Chat Day 11 Happy Sunday to you all! Belgium and Russia kick us off at 5pm today with Lukaku hoping to atone for his no show in stage 1. Well ok, he showed up, but he did pretty much bugger all and disappointed many who had him as a last resort captaincy option. Hopefully he can produce in this one and announce himself on the world stage. Either way, and even if he notches a hat trick, we imagine Jose will be sat at home saying ‘meh, bring me Costa’. Hazard and KDB will hold many a hope here also and it will be interesting to see if Belgium can g...[Read More]
Fantasy World Cup Live Match Chat Day 10
Fantasy World Cup Live Match Chat Day 10 Fantasy World Cup Live Match Chat Day 10 It may be wise to keep any Iranian players firmly on your bench for the first game of the day as they face Messi and co at 5pm. Well ok just Messi really. Many an armband will be thrown in his direction today with most hoping that it ends the week on the wee Argentinian maestro. After a scintillating display in their opener Germany will be looking to secure their inevitable march to the knock out stages at 8pm as they take on Ghana. Muller owners will be hoping for more of the same while Ozil owners will just be ...[Read More]
