I saw that! Would have been much, much cooler. jordans2232 is a friend of mine from work and fellow soccer fan. Brought him on board for the EPL season and he hates the FIFA version as much as we do. 😀
Got a tip for us?

I'm leading my fellow German fools. By far. 😀

Well, at least I'm beating him (for now at least) since I can't catch you in this poor man's game for the casuals! 😀

1,869th, but it seems I am behind with my planning. The small gap means nail biting rather than feet up - ending up the chump is natural for me, it's hard to fight.
Pull the other one. 🙂 Colleagues at the office wondering what the numbers on their screens are and why the lights are flickering as twietee sits there, his algorithm at work?

Translation - maybe:
Don't try to fool us, saying you can't catch up. You have a plan, possibly taken control of the work computers and power system to number crunch the best team for the round.

You lost him at work...
Yeah, he can catch up. With the captain choice, most of us are really still in it. Sorry for the crude table. Obviously not part of the Cake family. 😱

Well, here's the official table ahead of the start of the Round of 16 later today. 🙂
Gents, don't forget to make any necessary changes to your side to replace players who have been eliminated/injured/suspended/subjected to a four month global ban.
A quick look at the table tells us that it's oscillatewildly's Cueto Cubillas Experience who have amassed the most points during the group stage, therefore the sash sporting stars take the Team of the Round Award.
Well done, oscillatewildly. 🙂

I'm not sure, but I'd guess they wont be counted as penalty shoot outs aren't strictly part of the match.

The aim was to see the shirt at some stage, and there it is, sash to the hem. :tears:
Thank you Jaffa Cake - it's the details.

One set of cheap players will be out, Costa Rica/Greece, would help if Algeria beat Germany. The needs of the many twietee.

Alright, no real fun if ya don't know your opponents team. Here we go:
Cillessen - Mbohli - Karnezis
Blind - vanBuyte - Hummels - Rojo - Halliche
Cuadrado - Kroos - diMaria - Valbuena - deBruyne - 2 Algerians
Messi - Neymar - Müller - Sanchez
Kind of bugging me that I had James up until the very last second but wanted Hummels so he had to leave the team....go, go Mats!!! 😀

J Rodriguez, Cuadrado, H Herrera, Maniatis, Tejeda, Valbuena, Bentaleb, Lacen
Neymar, Benzema, Muller, Messi, Djabou

Muller was given the assist in the end, but the heavy investment forwards, oh dear; the benched Djabou scored more than Neymar and Benzema.
Never know until the end of the round with this game; captain moving around and subs. Today, -15 points to put in Messi, Van Buyten, and Rojo? Worried about Di Maria - may get points for his work this time, and Shaqiri - starting a run? Messi to be struck down by flu?

*puts in J.Rodriguez*
*hesitates; switches Hummels and James last sec*
*James scores twice, Hummels got the flu* *
Classic. Yeah, what's that with the flu? Air conditioner malfunction? Conspiracy: Japanese refs behind all that? wink,wink,meh
*at least I would have forgotten to captain him anyway..

With the Round of 16 done and dusted, time for a look at the table...
As we can see, The Cueto Cubillas Experience maintain their hold on the top spot as we head into the quarter finals. Don't forget that the first of those matches kicks off tomorrow tea time (GMT) so don't forget to make those all important line up changes!
Meanwhile, some disturbing news from the German camp - head coach Joachim Low has reported that a number of his key players have come down with the flu ahead of their tie with France! However, one German who's in rude health at the moment is our very own twietee - his Weeteetaly team have clearly been going heavy on the Vitamin C, putting in a performance that certainly isn't to be sneezed at. With an unmatched 121 points gained, he picks up the Team of the Round Award.
Well done twietee. 🙂
