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.

Hello all – remember me?!!
Thanks to Chins, Potty and Andy for your writing and fixture analysis – some really great stuff being produced, mightily impressed by you all. Its really appreciated, well done!
Cookie!
How was the Grand Prix? What’s your take on the Rosberg qually antics? Or were you too pre-occupied to notice? 😉
And thanks for the opp to contribute to the site. Was a lot of fun, and now i know a lot more about the US team to help with my induction into my new home!
Chins, it was a cracking weekend mate, some of it a bit of a blur – and some stories are emerging this morning!
I thought Rosberg was very calculating to be honest – but anyone who beats Hamilton is ok in my eyes and I was delighted to see him win it – he’s a good lad too, a few years ago we picked him out of a hedge following the after-party and lives down here, so he is very popular!
Sounds like another good one then!
I agree with you on the qually thing. A bit desperate. I can see Hamilton wining the battle over the whole season though so will probably be soon forgotten. Lots would have done the same in his position.
Yeah, agreed Chins, right now the nob is a fraction quicker than Rosberg – always funny to see him sulking like a child though.
When do you move to the States mate ?
Movers coming tomorrow. (House a frikkin disaster zone right now) finish work on Friday, then fly out to Tx on 5th June.
Going to be a disaster for managing various fantasy deadlines, and i’ve no idea when i’m going to pick my WC squad!
But, i’ve then treated myself to at least a month before looking for a job as i’ve got a mates stag week in Vegas over the 4th of July weekend and i didn’t want to start work just to ask for time off straight away! (Obviously the fact that time is when the world cup is on is purely a coincidence. 😉 )
So, i might be off here for a while around move time but then back on 24/7 over the WC.
:manic:
They got wi-fi in the airport you fool. We expect to see you on here.
Happy days Chins, hope it all goes well and great you have some free time before you start working.
Must be very exciting mate!
Chins, if you ain’t got a job, what you moving to Texas for ? There must be better places in the states to live + everybody hates the Dallas Cowboys aswell.
Elle, you should really get off the fence and say what you really think! 😉
Dallas is where the wife is from so we’ve always intended to make it back there eventually. Didn’t think it would take us as long as it has. (Been here 11 years).
Wanted to do it now before our eldest gets to school age.
And i’m not so sure about everyone hating the cowboys. Maybe in their prime everyone hated them for their success. But it’s been so long since they even looked like challenging for honours (a bit like liverpool…) that i think most peoples hatred has switched to the more successful teams.
It’s actually a great area to be. Nothing at all from a tourist attraction (unless you count seeing where jfk got shot), but loads for families and the houses are really cheap. (Again, a lot like liverpool!).
AHHH ! ! So the other half is from there, 😮
Now i know. The cowboys have always been hated + always will be, Chicago Bears fan myself. :dance:
Bears and Cowboys eh? Wow. Not exactly had much to celebrate since the 90’s have we?!
Or, since the 80’s in your case?!
You ever made it out there Elle?
Nah mate, no chance. Back in the early 80s my mates supported the Dolphins, the Raiders + for some unknown reason the Browns, so i went the Bears, had quite a great side back then, with Ditka at the helm, players like McMahon, Singletary ( spelt right ? ), the Fridge + the late, great Walter Peyton, got to the bowl a few years ago but got torn apart by Peyton Manning. The 49ers were the team back then, 4 bowls, 4 wins in the 80s, Montana was something else, as was Rice + Taylor.
Thanks for the kind replies guys
Nice one Andy! So clear favourites in all but Group C then haha. I feel like I have failed everyone…
