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.

This is what life about sun shining beer & bbq plus another match in a bit bring it on

Silvers
Have you looked at making a team yet Smash it’s going to be hard with Salah at 13m
Smash
Yeah I have this it currently. It will obviously change though. Kane and Salah is difficult
Silvers
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.
GoalMachine
Can Brazil turn it back? So far Belg. def. is looking good..
IvanTheTerrible
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.
secretzorro
Kompany’s showing off now ffs, I’d love to him lift the Cup (If England don’t, of course).
secretzorro
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…
Rosco77
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’ !!
secretzorro
Yes Rosco, exactly that. JonJo’s the man now?
Rosco77
Exactly, similar sentiments! 😉
secretzorro
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.
Silvers
England can beat them Bel / Eng final coming up
secretzorro
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.
The Gallant Pioneer (@MitchellC_FF247)
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??
Rosco77
Reckon my World Cup squad is up the creek if Belgium go through!! Meunier out and Willian in… that’s went well!!
IvanTheTerrible
WELL DONE BELGIUM :bouncy-balls:
Rosco77
Ok so I’m already down 5 players for the semis…. zero shits given!!! Laters Brazil!
Cookie
That’d better Rosco – none of this not being able to celebrate them going out!
What a shame eh Neymar :big-lol:
inittowinit
He’s basically just made a complete prat of himself this tournament, good riddance.
Neymar that is, not Rosco.
Cookie
:big-lol:
Not just this tournament, he’s done it for a few years, but now the bigger audience has witnessed it.
inittowinit
Only time I ever see him is in CL but don’t recall him ever being this ridiculous before.
Cookie
Dives every week. He had that penalty spat with Cavani halfway through the season.
Pair of dorks.
Rosco77
Haha pheweee! Yeah he’s really let himself down, he’ll be remembered for all the wrong reasons this World Cup. Such a shame.
The Gallant Pioneer (@MitchellC_FF247)
Totally agree Init.
One of those faces.
Neymar, not you. 😉
inittowinit
I assumed you meant Rosco 😉
IvanTheTerrible
Neymar’s theatrical shenanigans didn’t help again 😆
Rosco77
Yeah I’m over it!! Think FPL has my heart!!
Matt
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!!
inittowinit
Think you’re forgetting England v Colombia there Matt
secretzorro
“Irish commentary”, well there’s your first mistake… Smile-it’s a windup. Seriously, best commentaries are usually on the radio imo.
inittowinit
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.
Horse
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
inittowinit
I’m guessing he actually did then?! Used to really like him too until he became a caricature of himself.
Horse
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
inittowinit
You’re in the pub more than Silvers! Must be a senior thing 😉
Horse
Run swim pub for me today
