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.

Good luck to most of you, but not all of you for this 1st phase of fantasy World Cup!
I give up, changed cappo from Cavani to Phil last night, confirmed it. Cappo was on Phil earlier when i looked, now its back on Cavani.
That sucks mate. Similar thing happened to me today. I changed GK from Gallese to Allison and capo from Eriksen to Neymar on the phone app this morning. Just checked my team on my laptop and the GK change still shows, but my capo has reverted to Eriksen. I will be furious if Neymar gets loads of points now. I still have Meunier and Lewandowski as future capo picks, so all is not lost. But it is still irritating.
I’ve still got Luk and Lew but as you say, its irritating.
I told you the site is crap, exactly like four years ago. I had a massive scare this morning. My team has vanished and it was asking me to create a new one. I had to log in and out five times to get it back to normal.
Funny that Elle, same thing happens to you in every single round of the CL.
Init, just for you i’ve done my cappo swap and confirmed it. Lets see what happens tomorrow, knowing my luck it will be a Luk blank.
That’s for Round 2 Elle. Belgium play Panama
Not a fat lot looking at that Elle! It’ll be the ‘stupid’ sites fault though, no doubt 😉
What a wonderful header :bounce:
With all my players blanking I’m starting to run out of captain options
From Mitro I am moving to Luka. If he fails, last chance with Lewa.
You and me both mate.
Starting to wish I’d just left the armband on Muselra… Jesus does not save …
Watching Neymar tonight he just does not look up to it. Really considering transferring him for Round 2 but I’ve picked him for a reason so I should probably keep him!
Switzerland putting on a clinic for how to slow a game down… #FakeItTilYouMakeIt
I can see a lot of European teams copping onto this tactic against the Latin teams. The pace of play is very fast and is doing them big time!
Agreed!
They do sort of specialise in such clinics.
