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!
Brazil fans look like the end of the world is nigh, maybe they’re just dismayed by the travesty that resides on Naymars head!
*Neymar
They are probably fearing a repeat of the last world cup but Neymars hair is just as bad
That :poop: on the top of Neymar’s head didn’t help much, did it :big-lol:
Mito. This is a poster in a national chain over here. Made by Budweiser. Who you’d think may know better!
So far, when it comes to predictions I am as bad as the pundits 😆
The poor kids :big-lol:
They had already scrapped it. Their teams complained that this was putting undue pressure on both, and that the scheme should instead be for anyone scoring from these teams.
Nice WC so far. Surprising results. Curious how England will perform. Since Holland is out, England for Champion ! Not impossible; anybody van beat anybody here. Spain the best team so far, Portugal the best player. Ahum. Sorry sitting here alone at a bar in Warsaw. Borred a bit.
Spain didn’t impress me that much. Sure they had a lot of the ball but they didn’t do anything relevant with it. The first goal was gifted by Fonte, the second by poor defending a set piece cross into the area and the third one was an amazing goal from a Burrito that happens once in a life time. They had 5 shots on target. Could’ve been a CS in another day. Good team by all means but not a great one.
Agree that Spain has been the best team so far, they had a good performance, no team has been great thus far…
