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’d love to know what that architect was on and how drunk the person was that approved this stadium!! Wonder what the view is like at the very back… West Ham fans will probably stop complaining about the London Stadium now!
wow wish I had stuck with cavani now instead of making room for suarez, he looks tired n ill and runs like he has a bag fool of weights on his back
Hey MJ, I agree I went with neither in the end and stuck with De Arrascueta but Cavani is looking dangerous had two or three shots on target whereas Suarez is letting passes run by him and has missed from 8 yards out when really it was easier to score!!
could possibly be a big upset here if salah comes on 2nd half and does his magic, uruguay look very weak at the back

I hope not as I have double Uruguay defence but like you say they aren’t looking strong at the back right now. Egypt definitely look like they could score though!
Huh Uruguay don’t look weak at the back
you aint looking at the same game as me then , only Egypt and they were breaking past the def numerous times, lucky salah aint on ….
seem better this half mind
If Egypt had a better striker on the pitch I think they definitely would have scored by now.
Looking like I’ll be swapping the captain from Cavani then
My captain is Betancur. A CS for the GK and Verela would be nice.
Dodging a bullet there with the Arrascaeta early sub.
YEESSSSS! !!!!!
