Rousseau and BEARGER gained 3 points for the Correct Score -- never in doubt... ?

Is this the Brazil/Costa Rica match?

Nigeria-Iceland.

He was good for closing out league titles but otherwise an expensive luxury.

I'm not sure I'd ever call a player "good for closing out league titles" a "luxury"...

 

He played a lot of games for us, so Walter mustn't have thought so.

We still need another goalscorer to challenge Morelos. 

 

I think the 4LHAD guys were saying there will be a permanent striker signed?

Lafferty is the most recent that comes to mind.

Name a couple that have been such for us.

Cousin and Darcheville too didn't contribute many goals, but were important players for Walter.

If an attacking player ain't gonna score a lotta goals himself, he better have some pretty damned good assist stats....

Or perhaps just contribute to the effectiveness of the team?

 

Why would Juventus sign Llorente if he's not going to score goals or assist? Why would Real Madrid want Morata back for £30M? Because they help the team function, and give another option up front. 

 

An attacking player doesn't need to score or assist to be an important member of the team.

Only dB and compo picked up points from the Nigeria-Iceland game, gaining 1 point for the Correct Result.

I have to get the odd one wrong, so you don't get suspicious of my psychic abilities...

You have to give the rest of us a chance...

Everyone bar one gained points for this one.

 

dB gets 3 points for the Correct 2-0 Score.

YAAAAASSSSSS!!

I'm so confused: On the one hand I love seeing the Brazilian spice boys get annoyed at some of their own medicine, with Costa Rica diving every two minutes, but then again... I WANT THE POINTS!!

Neymar's a f*ckin' donkey.

No penalty.

 

Penalty to Brazil... but under review...

You should worry - I've got 4-0  

But I've wasted a joker...

 

Yes, my 3-0 is looking wildly optimistic.  

Neymar's highlights thus far...  

 

 

Have you tried giving it a wee bump?

 

@Darthter trying to work it out...

 Mark Lawrenson's predictions (BBC) would have secured him 19 points (without joker) thus far.

 

If we give him an extra point for the joker he'd be on 20, the same as Rousseau.

 

Does anyone think he looks like him as well  

Great minds...

Options go so far.

 

SG needs some quality to work with.
