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!
What an idiot!!!!
Damn Kyle Walker…..meaningless PK conceded.
Typical England controlling the game & what was Walker doing let’s hope Pickford saves this
Not that lucky…CS is gone…its like Umtiti’s handball……pressure-less mistakes.
Maguire needs to get off the pitch Alli injures
England are a joke at the moment, they’ve gone to cock, roll on half-time, calm down a bit.
Let’s be honest when your paid 50 to 100 grand a wk you thk they would be able to kick the ball Stones night mare
Noticed when the penalty was given it was Hendo who was in the refs face. Where was cappo Kane ? Obviously not doing his job, bad choice as a cappo for me.
Henderson should be cut aim for me. He gets a lot of stick but he adds composure and leadership that Kane doesn’t offer. Henderson does the dirty stuff that nobody cares about but is needed if you want to succeed.
Does he play for the Pool Matt 😉
He does but looking at this England squad I don’t see any other leader apart from maybe Cahill and he isn’t even starting. Kane is just too quiet on the pitch.
Agree Matt.
