World Cup 1st Group Phase Live Match Chat
Welcome to World Cup 1st Group Phase Live Match Chat. The long four year wait is over and so is the tinkering for the first set of matches. We hope that you are happy with the 15 players you ended up with, but even if you decided against playing the fantasy version we still encourage you to partake in the chat below. We are sure there will be plenty to discuss that doesn’t always involve whether you should get assist points for a shot that was blocked or your striker really did touch the ball a la Kane before it went in. Predictor games, brackets, bets on the golden boot are all welcomed here. And yeah, even old school footy chat for those that who are just watching the games for fun and just want to talk about the Joga Bonito.
So that you have them to hand, we will post a screenshot of the substitution rules, transfer allotment, wildcard, boosters and of course we will have times and dates for all matches in this, the first of three group phases/rounds/fixtures or whatever you want to call it.

Zed’s jealous
World Cup starting now everyone.
This is the most underwhelming opening WC game I can remember. In fairness, I sometimes struggle to remember yesterday
Reigning champions should start the tourney imo
It used to be that did happen zorro.
Much better that way
What should be done is the winner and the host should be drawn in the same group and play eachother in the first game. If the winner is the host then it should be the finalists.
Agreed it kind of starts to tomorrow
Russia just don’t want to be the first team in the history of the World Cup where the host nation lose the opening game.
