Hard to blame Neuer for losing when 3 of the 6 German players missed their penalty but it probably isn’t the biggest surprise that a 40 year old GK isn’t the winning keeper in a penalty shootout #FPL

@JamesMelville Unfortunately the only way an expanded World Cup (more than 32) works is if/when they expand it to 64 teams and it goes back to being the top 2 in each group. I expect FIFA are already planning for this (more money for them) and probably will be in by 2034

The top 8 third-place qualification in the World Cup is a total farce. The current setup undermines the entire group stage. It’s not a level playing field when the final round of group games are staggered across different times and days. The teams that play their final matches on later dates know exactly what result they need (or don’t need) because other matches have already finished. Also, many third place teams are playing teams who have already qualified and therefore, lack the motivation. If FIFA wants this expanded 48 team format to have any credibility, every single match in the last round of groups has to kick off at the same time.

And imagine the tension now in this Brazil-Scotland game if Haiti weren't locked out by head-to-head I honestly find it infuriating. A terrible development.

Here’s a summary of what each team now need in order to qualify at the World Cup: Group A: • Mexico top the group regardless of MD3 results • South Korea need only a draw to finish in the top 2. • Czech Republic and South Africa both need to win to realistically have any chance of qualification Group B: • Canada are essentially guaranteed qualification and simply need to draw their game with Switzerland to finish top • Switzerland are also effectively through but need to beat Canada to finish first • Both Bosnia and Qatar will be fighting for the win in their game. A draw is no good to either team Group C: • There’s a great chance that Brazil, Morocco and Scotland have all qualified for the knockouts already • Brazil and Morocco will be looking to win their games by the most goals in an attempt to win the group • Scotland are likely fine already but a draw would secure qualification • Haiti are already knocked out Group D: • USA are already the confirmed winners of Group D, regardless of their result in MD3 (they have the H2H on both Australia and Paraguay) • Australia simply need to not lose to guarantee second place • Paraguay are likely fine regardless of the result but a positive result against Australia is the aim • Turkey are knocked out already after losing to both teams above them Group E: • Germany will be group winners regardless of the result in MD3 • Ivory Coast simply need a draw to secure 2nd spot in the group • Ecuador need to beat Germany as 2 points doesn’t look like being enough to be a top 3rd place side • Curacao also need to win their last game to have a chance at qualification Group F: • Much like Group C, the top 3 of Netherlands, Japan and Sweden are all likely through regardless • Netherlands and Japan will both want to win to try and hit top spot • Sweden will finish top 2 with a win but a draw will also be fine • Tunisia are knocked out Group G: • A point for Egypt will see them win the group unless Belgium win by 3 or more goals • Both Belgium and Iran will likely be fine with a draw but they’ll be looking to win to make sure • New Zealand realistically need to beat Belgium to stand a chance Group H: • A draw for Spain will basically see them through as group winners • A draw for both Uruguay and Cape Verde will likely see both go through, with Uruguay finishing 2nd • A Uruguay win will see them likely win the group unless Cape Verde wins by a greater margin • Saudi Arabia need to beat Cape Verde to stand a chance of qualifying Group I: • Both France and Norway are through regardless • France only need a draw to win the group, Norway need a win • Senegal and Iraq will both need to win to stand a chance of qualifying. A draw is no good for either team Group J: • Argentina have won the group regardless • Austria simply need to avoid defeat to finish 2nd • Algeria likely are through but a positive result is ideal. A win is even better, as it would confirm 2nd place • Jordan are already knocked out Group K: • Colombia are already through but need to avoid defeat to win the group • Portugal are also effectively through but will be looking for a positive result • Both DR Congo and Uzbekistan need to win. • A win for DR Congo will basically guarantee qualification but it may still not be enough for Uzbekistan due to their poor goal difference Group L: • England, Ghana and Croatia are all effectively through • England will look to beat Panama to secure the top spot. • Ghana need to better England’s result or win by 2 more goals than England • A draw is fine for Croatia but they’ll be looking to win to finish in the top 2 • Panama are knocked out already That’s just about everything! If you have read the whole way then I salute you but hopefully this helps!

Last season I picked my GW1 squad with the plan to BB in GW2 when Burnley played Sunderland. Ended up with a double CS and a great start to the season. Coventry v Hull GW2 looks like a great opportunity for an early BB #FPL #FPLCOMMUNITY

@PatrickBVS Shame Partey can’t get into Canada, I’m sure he would’ve been your answer….

Who is the best-looking player at the World Cup? My wife asked me and I'm struggling to give her a definitive answer. Submissions welcome
