[GiRTh]

I'm in. My team is called Garincha's Dog.

[BigSister]

[GiRTh]

Why cant we see each others teams?

[BigSister]

its like that with the premership fantasty team just before it starts when it kicks off i think you will be able to see them then

[Stewart]

It doesnt let you until after the games have started so that you cant copy other people, i think thats the reason anyway

[GiRTh]

Thanks Becca.:thumbs:

[BigSister]

[Stewart]

Not a bad start, only two players played for me so quite happy

OMG i did awful today *dies*, Have a few players tommorow so hopefully

[Stewart]

Still holding onto 5th place, got 5 players tomorrow - hoping for a Luca Toni hat-trick tomorrow to make up for the pain he caused me when he scored (3 times!!!) against Scotland!

[GiRTh]

I've made a solid start but most of my players are from Spain, Holland and Italy and haven't played yet..

[Lauren]

PMSL thank God I lifted myself from bottom place on a 0 pointer (to be fair, none of my players had played).

Have 2 players playing today so hopefully going to pick up some then.

[Spike]

Moved up abit, hopefully I will carry on climbing my way to the top.

I have a few players playing today.

[Dan_]

I've only got Materazzi playing today, most of my players are in Group D.

[Stewart]

Looking forward to the points going on,
Van der sar and Van Bronkhorst should get me a few - shame Luca Toni was my captain!

[Shaun]

Only have 1 french and 1 Dutch player, so I don't expect much from today.

[BigSister]

im expecting a few today

[Lauren]

Suffice to say I'm not doing too well. Few of my players are a no go points wise so far (Evra). Got a couple playing today (Sweden and Spain, if I'm not mistaken) so hopefully going to pick up some (but they're big names, so I imagine others will pick up some too!).

[BigSister]

ive got one swede and one spanish player so depending on how they play might get a few points

[Stewart]

Got 3 more players today - hoping i can hold onto third place after the matches!

[Dan_]

Got 4 players,playing today.Hopefully I'll climb a few places.

[GiRTh]

You need it. Materazzi was a good buy eh? LOL

[Lauren]

Blah blah blah whinge.

:whistle:

[Dan_]

Lol aye.I've got rid of him already :laugh:

[GiRTh]

I've got rid of Gattuso and gone to a 4 3 3 with Nuno Gomez coming in. I thought he was in my original starting line up but it seems not.

[Dan_]

I'm waiting to see how Mellberg and Anyukov get on today, if one of them does badly then I'll get rid and sign Nuno Gomez and go with a 3-4-3.

[BigSister]

im thinking of getting rid of a few as well

[Lauren]

I'm sticking with mine for the moment, hopefully will notch a few more points after today. Will probably rid of Evra and Zambrotta as they were none starters for me.

[GiRTh]

I think I may have Zambrotta too. let me check.

[BigSister]

or maybe i might just get rid of evra if he doesnt start the next match

[Lauren]

Originally posted by BigSister

Yeah same, I had high hopes for him in his first match then he didn't start LOL.

[Dan_]

I doubt Evra will play.Abidal seems to have been the favoured choice at left back for a few years now.

[Lauren]

I've swapped Evra for Pepe. Needed to be done.

[GiRTh]

I've got Evra too. I think I'll get rid.

[Stewart]

Think i need to change Gomis of France, he got on the pitch yesterday but i doubt he will start a game.

[GiRTh]

I've got rid of Evra and Zambrotta and replaced them with ze German Lahm and the Frenchman Abidal. I'm reasonably happy with my team. I wanted Pepe to replace Evra but then I'd have too many Portugal players. WTF kind of rule is that?

[BigSister]

lol i know girth i hate that rule too so annoying

[Dan_]

Fabregas only a sub? Damn! Spain don't look like they are needing him at the moment anyway lol.

[GiRTh]

WHAT?

[BigSister]

im v happy at the moment ^_^

[GiRTh]

Villa got both goals. Damn!!! Has anyone got him?

[Dan_]

I've made 4 transfers now.Rat in for Anyukov, Van Bronkhorst in for Materazzi, Kuyt in for Schweinsteiger and Nuno Gomes in for Kazim.If Fabregas carries on not being picked I'll have to replace him with Xavi or Iniesta.

[BigSister]

*points upwards* for girth

[GiRTh]

Have you got Villa Becca?

EDIt: I've just checked youre team Becca DAMN!!!!!!! Come on Torres. *He's my captain*

[BigSister]

*smiles innocently*
Im just annoyed i didnt put him as my captain

[GiRTh]

They've added Villa's point before the ganes has finished.

[BigSister]

all the teams have their points added i checked other teams

[Dan_]

Wont be getting rid of Fabregas now :laugh:

[BigSister]

lol thought of you Dan when he scored:banana:

[Dan_]

:laugh: he got an assist too.

[BigSister]

*grumbles*
Well i cant say too much i got an hat trick not too bad

[Dan_]

I bet you wish you had made him captain now.

I'm hoping for a clean sheet for Sweden and Ibrahimovic to score a couple of goals.

[BigSister]

Yeah lol
im hoping for a clean sheet too:banana:

[Dan_]

I think we might get what we hoped for.Greece just seem to want to play it around in defence, what a boring team :sleep:.

[BigSister]

I think your player scored ^_^

[Stewart]

I know my player just made a mess of preventing the goal! lol

[Dan_]

[Lauren]

I blame Torres for my performance today. I'd put all my eggs in a basket for him as he is my captain.

Only got 1 playing today too, if he's not starting I may have a breakdown LOL.

[BigSister]

lol lauren
I have 2 playing today

[GiRTh]

The good thing is the leaders didn't get to extend their lead.

[Dan_]

I've got 3 playing today.

[GiRTh]

You need 'em. I see Ibrahimovic scored for the first time in ages. Lucky eh?

[Dan_]

He had to come good sometime :laugh:

[BigSister]

yeah give them the chance and they score:dance2:

[Lauren]

Made 2 subs earlier today. Swapped my forward sub for someone worse and used the extra money to get Van Bronckhorst for defence. Also, got Aufhauser midfield so hopefully will come good.

[James]

Some good pointage there from my midfielders, defenders less good.

[Shaun]

Hmm, I have a Czech defender which doesn't look promising. And I don't think Nuno Gomes played, but I had a Portuguese defender as well. Oh dear.

[BigSister]

I have ronaldo:bouncy:

Also a swiss midfielder

Ouch for France! 4-1!

Oooh not a bad day after all, if france hadnt have scored id have 10 more - bloody Thierry Henry!!!

[BigSister]

same here stewart silly Henry

[Lauren]

I am buggered today.

Torres (C) and Fabregas playing... but my goalie is Isaksson. So I will lose points from him if either of my others score.

Sillyyyy.

[Stewart]

Just made 4 ransfers to take effect after today - bit of a gamble on the germans haha

[GiRTh]

I had a decent day. Kuyt and Van Persie scored in the same game.

I'm worried about my defence though. I need to get rid of my French defenders.

[GiRTh]

Got rid of Gallas, Abidal and Gatuusa and have gone for Hansen, Pranjic and Modric. I hope Croatia do well.

[BigSister]

Im gonna get rid of evra too and im same boat as lauren got melberg but also got villa

[Lauren]

Modric has been a good keep for me.

[ChelseaFan]

Danm, I wish I didn't rush my team :sad:

[Lauren]

I am tempted to swap Fabregas for Iniesta or Xavi but Fabregas might come on as a sub and do well yet again.

At least both my strikers have scored, although one of them's just been subbed :mad:

[Dan_]

I've got rid of Ballack and Kuyt and replaced them with Sneijder and Modric.

[Dan_]

I've got rid of Fabregas after he did stuff all after coming on, replaced him with Pirlo.I've also got rid of Ibrahimovic seeing as he got subbed at half time, replaced him with David Villa :bigsmile:.

[BigSister]

good move Dan ^_^

I wanted to replace him with Deco but I was already up to my limit on players from Portugal :rolleyes:

[BigSister]

I know i wanted to get deco too but i used my limit too

[Stewart]

ARGGH down to 6th lol, hopefully my 4 transfers make an impact

[Spike]

I'm not doing very well

[InTheHood]

Oh........we can transfer players during the group phase?

Hmmmm, this I did not know.

Still, the World Champion leads the way..........for now :pat:

It seems they've relaxed the rules on how many players from each country you can have in your team and the transfer budget's gone up.

[BigSister]

ooh good thanks for that dan

[GiRTh]

I think I'll make some changes.

[Lauren]

I have a lot playing today, so hopefully can notch up some points.


****ing Pepe.

[GiRTh]

It looks like you can make unlimited changes and have an increased budget of over ten million. Happy days.

[Lauren]

Ooh, might completely change my team ... I'm not doing too good with the current one :hugesmile:

More moneyyyyyy....!!!

[GiRTh]

I've completely redone my team. I've now got Villa, Podolski, Sneider and Cristiano Ronaldo in the same team.

[BigSister]

money money money ^_^
Ill change mine in afew days depending who gets through

[Lauren]

Yeah same here Becca - gonna leave it a few days... despite that money looking tempting to spend.

[BigSister]

well im working tommorow so proib do mine on wednesday

[GiRTh]

I may have been a bit premature.

[Dan_]

I'm going to wait to see who makes the quarter finals and then pick my team.

[GiRTh]

Is there an echo in here?

[Stewart]

I completely done my team now, because of the unlimited transfers if some of my players go out i can still change them :bigsmile:

Shame Croatia rested 2 of my players tonight!

[BigSister]

stupid croatia hope germany dont rest any players either

[Shaun]

Made 4 transfers last night - can't remember any of them though :conf2:

Lost Van Persie, gained Ibrahimovic.
Lost a random Czech midfielder...
Got Panucci for defense...erm.

[Shaun]

Out:
Van Persie
Kranjcar
Iniesta
Jankulovski

In:
Panucci
Modric
Arda Turan
Ibrahimovic

But I still have Kranjcar and Pletikosa for Croatia (though they're not starting :mad:) and Ballack for Germany tonight.

[Shaun]

Yay, Ballack's scored :bigsmile:

[Lauren]

If things stay as they are - I've had a VERY good match day.

Edit: 31 pts for this matchday :laugh:! YEY.

[Dan_]

All of my players are being rested.Bring on the quarter finals.

LOL.

[Lauren]

2 dutch players playing today, hope to rack up some more points from them but I'm not holding out much hope, I'm thinking they might be starting a second team in which case I'm damned.

[GiRTh]

I'm going to change my team today to reflect todays games then change it again for the knockout stage. If it lets me get away with it.

[BigSister]

im thinking about that too lauren but ive got a romanian player so im hoping he will play

[Shaun]

I hope that wasn't sarcastic, missy. You're two points above me y'know. I'm happy to have them :laugh2:

Panucci for Italy and a few Dutch players today...

[James]

Not a great move by me picking Sneijder who is not playing. I had Pirlo before and he has just scored.

[Dan_]

My players continue to be rested, at least the signing of Pirlo seems to have paid off.

[*mazedsalv**]

Come on Italia!! You need to get through to the next round!!! I beg you!

[BigSister]

got some points at least but not many

InTheHood is killing us. At least I'm up to 4th. I'm going to have to get rid of all my Portuguese players now.

[BigSister]

ive got rid of my portugal players too girth

[Lauren]

I'm doing average (better than the group stages when I was always bottom 2).

[BigSister]

you will prob over take me tonight lauren as i only have 1 croatian playing

[Shaun]

I'm beginning to hate Turkey. They've just won on penalties...

They never seem bothered about scoring until they're behind. It must be frustrating to watch as a Czech/Croat.

[BigSister]

more transfers required

Turkey are a great side, remember the time world cup 2002.:thumbs2:

Spain, Holland or Turkey my fave to win this tournament.

[Matt10k]

I thought it was amazing how they came back like that! Would love them to win it. Might be a few very rich gamblers if they do too! lol

Receber Rustu is one of the best Goalkeepers, he was voted the best keeper in the world in 2003 by FIFA and then by voted by Pele as 125 greatest footballers in the world. All the penatlies tonight he jumped the right way and nearly saved them all.

Made a right clanger for the Croatia goal though :laugh:.He's not so good these days, which is understanble given his age.He weren't even expected to play at this tournament but Volkan went and got himself sent off against Czech Republic and Rustu got his chance.

Thats was terrible decision to come out of the goal tonight. Plus the bad injuries had weaken his performances. I think Rustu is the best keeper when it comes to penalties, at those time when it comes to penalties, most keepers look weak and nervous, he just looked very confident.

[Shaun]

So we've seen two 2nd-placed (in the groups) teams beat the group leaders...will Russia cause another upset?

What happened to that black paint he used to wear? He did look very calm and collected when it came down to the penalty shootout.His expeirence may well have been to do with that.

It will be an interesting and difficult decision for the Turkish manager on who to pick for the semi-finals out of Volkan and Rustu.

IMO Rustu still looked good tonight, he didn't concede any goals in the last 118 minutes after that small error but made and huge last minute goal assist and in the shootouts, the other Turkish keeper has conceded 5 goals in 270 munites, so Rustu would be my ideal choice.

And that save when he stretched all the way to the left..like his entire body.

[Dan_]

Even more changes needed to the team after the elimination of the Dutch.I cannot quite believe how good Russia were, very surprised at how flat Holland seemed to be.

Andrei Arshavin has to be signed by one of the top European teams.Every single time I see him play he's excellent, such creativity.

[James]

Putting all my eggs into Dutch and Croatian baskets hasn't really worked out though Sneijder and RVN got some today. Turkey's late goal last night cost me about 12 points.

Same.

I'm hoping InTheHood has forgotten to remove any Dutch/Italian/Croatian/Portuguese players :tongue:

[BigSister]

im liking your thinking Shaun:laugh2:

[Dan_]

I've had to make about 8 changes.My team now:

Lehmann

Metzelder,Mertesacker,Capdevilla.

Schweinsteiger,Semak,Ballack,Silva.

Podolski,Villa,Torres.

[Stewart]

I had to make 8 changes too, seems my gamble on the Dutch and Croats did'nt go down to well!

[GiRTh]

New Team:

Lehmann

Metzelder, Mertersacker, Lahm,Anyukov

Ballack, Fabregas, Schensteiger

Villa, Torres, Podolski.

You watch, ze Germans will go out now.:rolleyes:

[Lauren]

Placing all my eggs in one basket (most of my team are German... VERY similar to GiRTHs team actually!!).

[Shaun]

Lehmann

Metzelder, Capdevila, Anyukov, Ignashevich

Ballack, Zhirkov, Arda Turan (and another Turkish sub)

Torres, Villa, Pavluychenko

So that makes:

Spain - 3
Germany - 3
Russia - 4
Turkey 1 (1)

[BigSister]

Lehman
Metzelder Lahm Ignashevich Anyukov Anyukov

ZyryanovBallack Silva Semshov

Podolski Villa(Captain) Klose sub

[Shaun]

Normally I don't cheer when people miss deadlines, but I think InTheHood has :bigsmile:

*cries*

I had all the wrong German players :sad:

Still, only have 3...and only 1 Turk...so I'll hope for better from my 3 Spanish and 4 Russian players :tongue:

[InTheHood]

Were we allowed to make even more changes for the Semis?

That's poo if we were. Should have been knockout stages you had to keep the same players from the 8 teams.

Still, not done bad for someone who has made little effort :banana:

[Dan_]

You can still make unlimited transfers.

[GiRTh]

Goals from Lahm and Shweinsteiger and an assist from Podolski have catapulted me up the table. Happy days.
