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!
Apart from Muslera tomorrow, all my players are entering the competition on Sunday. Long way to go :cuckoo:
I decided to go with Cavani in the end because of that, having an attacker for captaincy tomorrow…. Cue Suarez hatty :woot:
Oh I see, you’ve overdosed on Uruguayans.
Salah is waiting for them which means my GK is in danger 😆
League Tables and points have been updated.
I’m watching a full re-run of this afternoon’s game.
I have fever.
Think you have more than fever as Russia are.not very good which means words can’t describe Saudi Arabia
There are always words to describe things, however terrible. Maybe both sides were playing the long game, knowing they’d be meeting again in the final. SA being deliberately inept to lull Russia into dreams of grandeur.
I only watched the 3 minute highlight package on the beeb and that was enough to provoke a few chuckles.
I just wonder if ever beeb will show Robbie Williams and the middle finger moment 😆
I didn’t see anything of the opening ceremony. I hope it made some sort of reference to 19th Century Russian literature though. Where would we be without that?
Robbie Williams, blimey. To carry on the faint conspiracy theory theme that’s crept in, the last I heard of him involved some UFO spotting. Maybe there’s a link between his presence yesterday, UFOs and the sinister geopolitics hinted at by Secret Zorro. Everything is linked (if you look hard enough).
***Real Madrid agrees to Alison’s conditions !
75mil € + bonuses.
A record fee for a GK.***
Wow, thx Doc
Please stop the lambs screamingWhat’s your source for the Alisson goss, doc?Enthrall us with your
fava beansacumen.Probably good news for Chelsea. I think Courtois really wanted that move
Supposedly not true doc

Sky are reporting a Real Bid of 40m+ and Metro reporting L’pool have offered a contract to Alisson. Silly season if you ask me
Don’t know if anyone’s already stated this, but if you confirm one of your booster chip thingies (that’s the terminology right?) then that’s it, you can’t bloomin’ well undo them like you can in FPL. So be careful.
It was… erm, a friend of mine that did it, not me. Obviously.
Now if you’ll excuse me I need to get back to flagellating myself with a rusty cudgel.
That’s good to know, be sure to thank your friend for us!
Salah being rested for the Wolves game!
Bodes well for a Uruguay clean sheet, hopefully. 0-0 be great in fact.
I could live with Uruguay scoring (to kill any Hegazi CS) granted it’s not from their forwards or Godin/Gimenez!
Actualy a Muslera goal would be the deal here!
Nice to see Bentancur starting. I thought he was a bench fodder.
