World Cup 2014 Fixtures Schedule
Following on from our World Cup group by group analysis we are delighted to present to you our fixture tracker for the group stages. Many thanks to Andy who kindly volunteered to provide us with this along with his take on how it will all pan out in the usual colour coded fashion, complete with a current form guide which will give you an idea of how each team is shaping up in preparation for the big day. Hopefully this will be of some help to you all as you plan your fantasy teams and their progression through the group stages. We shall endeavour to update this as the competition progresses to the knock out stages to keep you as well informed as possible.

Form Guide Key
W – Wins
D – Draws
L – Losses
F- Goals For
A- Goals Against
CS- Clean sheets attained in last 10 games
Rather than taking results from the last 6 games as per the norm I’ve stretched it out to include the last 10 games to try and include as much competitive football as possible as persistent freindly games are sometimes not the best stats to gather information from, I think only the Koreans have not had a competitive game in their last 10 games. The quality of opposition also varies greatly across the board.
NB All stats are up to date to the 23/05/14, all teams still have either 2 or 3 friendlies left to play until the competition kicks off.

Color Code Key
Purple – Not only do I think this team has a high chance of winning the game I also believe it may be possible for them to win by a fairly big margin.
Green – All green team games should be considered as favorites for this tie.
Yellow – All yellow team games should be considered, as it could possibly go either way.
Red – All red team games could see that team struggling in that corresponding fixture.

Seedorf….
Et’o….
Eto’o is your winner
2009 with Barca and then 2010 with Inter
You’re still missing that 7th player with 30 + prem goals..?
Me and Andy just guessed Terry Henry at the same time
Photek…
Correct…. Wiv Terry Henry ….
Who is the only manager to have managed teams in all three UEFA club competition finals (Champions League, UEFA Cup and Cup Winners’ Cup), without winning any of them?
Wenger?
Good shout Andy.
Arsene Wenger (Champions League and UEFA Cup with Arsenal in 2006 and 2000,
Cup Winners’ Cup with Monaco in 1992)
Who is the only player to have won the Champions League, Premier League, UEFA Cup and FA Cup and be relegated from the Premier League?
T’is Kanu.
Saha ?
Park Ji-Sung
Nin is right with Kanu…
Champions League with Ajax,
Premier League and FA Cup with Arsenal,
UEFA Cup with Inter,
FA Cup again and relegation with Portsmouth
Yep. King as he was affectionately known at Pompey scored the winner in the cup final and scored the opener against AC Milan at Fratton Park in 2008 though it does seem longer ago than that.
Just had a look at the articles and they look spot on (as usual).
Wish you all you the best for the fantasy WC.
Ah yeah, Saha has got a WC winners medal, thought that was in the question.
Morning guys! How’s everyone doing? I’m so ready for this World Cup game to start! It would be nice if they gave us more than a few days to pick our teams though.
Hey Josh, good thanks – how are you pal? I think everyone is in the same boat – just gagging to get on with it now!
Hey Cookie! I’m good, finally finished with school for the summer! I have so much time on my hands I don’t know what to do with myself now!
Great stuff Josh, no summer camp?
You can properly get into World Cup mode now!
Summer camp? I think that might have been an option if I was still in middle or high school haha 😛 I’m working during the summer though and I might even try and get another job at the new professional soccer team in my city. Just need to send a resume at some point.
Yeah I’m definitely excited for the World Cup. Been counting down the days for awhile now haha. I’m also trying to stay optimistic about USA’s chances, but it’s hard to do that with the group we have.
Honduras 0-2 Turkey

Anyone interested in doing the Mirror fantasy? I dont think leagues are allowed, or are they? Havent explored much. Anyway, just giving my thought on it since many are asking. Here is how Mirror Fantasy works:
> Very similar to our FPL. Almost similar rules, best for a 3-4-3 formation.
> 15 man squad, 3 transfers allowed between each rounds, DGW for Brazil and Mexico as well.
> Rules are very similar, except there is 1 point deduction for every goal conceded, i think.
> 1 point for cleanie, which means it would be ridiculous to invest in CBs.
But i guess since leagues arent involved, no one would try it? 😉
Nop. 4 for cleanie. Exactly like FPL. #Mistake.
Howdy B. I just had a look at it there, doubt i’ll play it to be honest. The official one will do me. Ha.
