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.

Goldilocks
Oh my word. Someone tell me why I didn’t put Ronaldo in my team????
Pancho
Seriously Goldilocks…

Rosco77

MidnightJonah

Terminators
Like or loth Ronaldo he’s done more for Portugal than Messi has for Argentina.
Goldilocks
I think it mainly loath. But no denying he was spectacular tonight!
Silvers
So far this has to be one of the best starts to the WC Ronaldo what a player even if I don’t have him I’m beginning to believe he his the best player ever
The Gallant Pioneer (@MitchellC_FF247)
He’s in the argument Silvers I agree.
Silvers
Let’s debate this my favourites are Pele , Best , Cruyff , Beckenbauet G Muller Messi, Ronaldo & Eddie Gray my all time Leeds favourite
Kruzcampo
Rushie,Van Basten,Robben, Bob Latchford, Sir(KING) Kenny,Giles,Kendall,Rivelino,Ronaldinho,Godin,Bobby Moore the list is endless but we are lucky to see them all. Who will pick up the mantle and take it forward? Who has that sprinkling of greatness? Jesus,Vinicius who has signed for RM,Neymar,Mbappe?
Rosco77
He is for me, and that’s down to his work ethic ( we love a trier up north! ), Pele was amazing but Before my time so I feel I can’t judge, Maradona was unlikely gifted but I can’t acceot the ‘hand of god’. Messi is blessed, but Ronaldo for me is the epitome of a single minded desire to be the best and doing everything in his power to achieve it. He’s amazing.
Rosco77
Uniquely not unlikely
