World Cup Quarter Finals Live Match Chat
Welcome to World Cup Quarter Finals Live Match Chat. And then there were eight. Well, England plus another seven 😉 Some surprises along the way mixed with some familiar names progressing sees us arrive at the quarter-final stage with everything to play for. Like any tournament the continued presence of the home nation is generally seen as a positive, except by Spain of course who have already departed for the more familiar surroundings of Costa Blanca. We have also waved goodbye to Messi and Ronaldo and a new superstar has been born in Mbappe.
Sadly we said farewell to the gallant Japanese but with England facing Sweden, expectations continue to reach epic proportions. It’s coming home. Isn’t it?! Ah c’mon, let us dream!
We have the next two days off until we reconvene on Friday, so plenty of time to think over plans and transfers. Is it time to play a Chip or have they been utilised/wasted already?!
From a fantasy point of view we have 3 free transfers for this round and we can now own a maximum of five players from any one team.

Yessss Silvers
Yesss Silvers
Have you looked at making a team yet Smash it’s going to be hard with Salah at 13m
Yeah I have this it currently. It will obviously change though. Kane and Salah is difficult
I like it Smash really good team for first effort better get started on mine
Les Belges are going to take some beating. Brazil corner, bang-bang-bang & KDB scores a beaut. England can’t beat them imo.
Can Brazil turn it back? So far Belg. def. is looking good..
No, they can’t GM. Brazil have been crap from the very start and I am surprised they are still here. The good news is that the unnecessary hype around them should slow down.
Kompany’s showing off now ffs, I’d love to him lift the Cup (If England don’t, of course).
I know Fellaini’s not everyone’s cup of tea, I get it, but if I was a footie manager then I’d love to have a player like him in my squad. Water carrier? OK, Supersub? Sure. Dark arts master? Bring it on. Total filth at corners? My pleasure. Does need a haircut mind…
Yeah agree, it was like when we had David Batty at Newcastle, we knew he was a ‘c u next Tuesday’ But he was our ‘c u next Tuesday’ !!
Yes Rosco, exactly that. JonJo’s the man now?
Exactly, similar sentiments! 😉
Good luck for the season, if Rafa gets a couple of players in, a bit of optimism for loony toons might not miss the mark.
England can beat them Bel / Eng final coming up
I’m a Scot & I’m supporting England – 100%- but as a football fan, dispassionately looking at this? Les Belgiques par trois ou quatre.
Heart wants UK, head says BEL or FRA, sorry.
That’s good to hear Zorro. I’m similar. I have many dear English friends and I’ve never been caught up in the anti-English sentiment so prevalent up here.
That and the fact I can watch 95% of Scotland go in to an absolute meltdown will be fantastic. I love chaos.
Shit. I’m Mito aren’t I??
Reckon my World Cup squad is up the creek if Belgium go through!! Meunier out and Willian in… that’s went well!!
WELL DONE BELGIUM :bouncy-balls:
Ok so I’m already down 5 players for the semis…. zero shits given!!! Laters Brazil!
That’d better Rosco – none of this not being able to celebrate them going out!
What a shame eh Neymar :big-lol:
He’s basically just made a complete prat of himself this tournament, good riddance.
Neymar that is, not Rosco.
:big-lol:
Not just this tournament, he’s done it for a few years, but now the bigger audience has witnessed it.
Only time I ever see him is in CL but don’t recall him ever being this ridiculous before.
Dives every week. He had that penalty spat with Cavani halfway through the season.
Pair of dorks.
Haha pheweee! Yeah he’s really let himself down, he’ll be remembered for all the wrong reasons this World Cup. Such a shame.
Totally agree Init.
One of those faces.
Neymar, not you. 😉
I assumed you meant Rosco 😉
Neymar’s theatrical shenanigans didn’t help again 😆
Yeah I’m over it!! Think FPL has my heart!!
Well done Belgium truly deserved it tonight. Much better than Brazil. Courtois had an amazing match!!
Irish commentary just described this game as best of the tournament but I disagree. It’s either the Spain vs Portugal match or the France vs Argentina one for me!!
Think you’re forgetting England v Colombia there Matt
“Irish commentary”, well there’s your first mistake… Smile-it’s a windup. Seriously, best commentaries are usually on the radio imo.
Agreed. But then it’s a different art that. They have to paint the whole picture for us. Unless it’s Alan Green who’s now so grumpy he’d have had us believing Spain Portugal was a turgid waste of time.
Or Alan Green would be commentating Belgian vs Brazil and somehow still manage to talk endlessly about how awful the France vs Denmark match was
I’m guessing he actually did then?! Used to really like him too until he became a caricature of himself.
I don’t know about that I watched the match in the pub
But in the past he has commentated on cracking matches only to start moaning about previous poor matches. If he’s on the radio I just turn it off.
Awesome tournament by the way
You’re in the pub more than Silvers! Must be a senior thing 😉
Run swim pub for me today
