*Ultimate reply fail

Most ppl will yell Kaku but the potential returns are greater with Kimmich. The fixtures of both are fairly easy. It's a tough one not as straight forward as most ppl make it out to be. Kaku is more likely to score goals but if Kimmich does it's a greater return. The risk is also higher for loss if Kaku blanks.

Yes

Kaku

Twist to Lukaku I guess. Germany in a bigger need for a win but Lukaku is a focal point of Belgium attack. And Tunisia will try to win it and will be exposed at the back.

Germany can easily win 4-0 but spread the points.

They will try to lock down kaku, and mertens, and hazard, and KDB, and carassco...

2-0 Belgium (KAKU, CARASSCO goals)

Lukaku.

Muller has 8 bundasliga goals this year for Bayern. That’s shockingly bad considering their dominance.

Muller is not the player he used to be.

I like your thought process and it’s very differential.

I say go for it and good luck.

Yes

Yes. Would you?

I had similar issues last gw so I wildcarded. If you feel it then do it imo

A for penalties

I was thinking one of the Mexicans.

Both.

Why any ?

None of them have done anything to justify bringing them in

Unless you mean for captaincy

How many points?

Nice work!

What's the prize for 152nd?

Wow, community team going strong.

Nice job RR. Keep it up!!!!

I’d rather James over Muller.

(K)ane

How many do you see Kane scoring vs Panama, really? I reckon one.

Same situation but I’m umming and erring 14 pts ain’t a bad outcome.. also have Kimmich and kane as captain options.. bleurgh feel like at least i won’t have the stress of a kane goal whilst watching England if I don’t put captain on him lol

Twist

twist, Kane wont blank

Yes

you bet

I twist on higher scores than that.

Kane.

Costa

Suarez

How many you got left?

Not sure. What would yours be?

well the top scorer has to be in there

Muslera
Gimenez Godin Lovren
Cheryshev Golovin Modric Coutinho
Ronaldo Costa Dzyuba

Pickford
Trippier Maguire Stones Walker Young
Sterling Henderson Alli Lingard
Kane

Are you going to tell us yours?

Subasic
Gimenez Godin Kolarov
Cheryshev Modric Herrera Coutinho Lozano
Ronaldo Costa

A
1

A
1

Don’t think I want to focus on round 1 anymore what’s done’s done 😉

God yes I’d twist. Kane could be the top scorer for the whole tournament v Panama

Panama is Panama

Hate you all

Won’t be able to watch the Panama game in piece no more lol bleurgh

I live in the US so I see a fair amount of Panama as they play the USA a fair amount. They are truly shocking. Kane could get 4 easy against them. However I'm English so I know we can also screw up but if you have Kane I think you have to take the chance on him.

Stick 😉

If you have a safety net of any variety after lukaku id go for it

Twist

I’m going Lukaku with Kane as back up

how lucky do you feel ?

I got no more captain options besides lukaku and muller. Keep my capt points?

It would be USA 94. I clearly remember the final. But the first moments would be Spain losing and Stoichkov and Baggio being immense early in the tournament.

The world cup in Argentina. The best goal I've ever seen was when the Dutch defender (I think it was Haan) & he scored this goal from about the half way line. What an awesome goal that was for power & direction.

Sex, drugs and booze has reduced my memory considerably. Russia against KSA was good though.....

The first world cup game i ever watched was Maradona single handedly destroying England in 86. Odd that really. Being such an infamous game

I love the MARCOOO TARDELLLI moment though.

Also Cameroon going far in the 1990 world cup Oman Biyek, Makanaky, Roger Milla , Massing etc was an early memory as it was my first full tournament

Spain’s winning in 2010

My dad proposed to my mum at half time of that Argentina Cameroon game. Actually waited until half time. Not there either - at home, in the living room.

Earliest memory is '98 - remember most of the tournament despite only having been very young but the final more than anything. And how terrible Ronaldo was, having been so great.

Mine was Italia '90, fell in love with that Italian team

I have some faint flashes of memory from the 1986 WC watching at home with my older brothers sitting around that old dinosaur of a TV we used have not understanding what soccer was about only that Madonna was a god and England were the enemy.

I have a much clearer memory of the 1990 WC by that stage a was well clued in and Ireland making it to our first WC made it extra special and was the catalyst for me falling in love with the game.

Ireland vs England stands out in my mind from that WC it finished 1-1 Gary Liniker scored in the first half and Kevin Sheedy got the equalizer in the second half.

One of my earlier ones was Owen's goal vs Brazil in 2002, and Ronaldinho's free kick(?) - we went to school and watched it in the hall on the big telly they used for assemblies

possibly Lewandowski

yep

Looks good.

Is Carvajal playing?

Looks good. The Croatian coach said they will rest players in round 3 so this might affect Lovren & Modric so I'd replace them. I'm not sure on Neuer. I'd rather have Kimmich than Neuer. Mybe replace Lovren with Kimmich & Modric with Eriksen & get a cheaper gk.

Agree with all points. 2 was particularly prevalent last night in the Croatia Argentina game and contributed to what was a great spectacle.

How did a non-football fan end up here though? 😯

So where was VAR tonight when they attacked Mitro?

Fifty points behind is all, I remain stubborn to the fact it’s only a matter of time.

Round Robin is 152 places off it . May be if we all step up our game we can win the car for him

34 behind first but first had used all chips already.

You could have stopped the sentence after "England"
