League code is (8144059 3456 FISO Tiny World cup ) please post in this thread to say you are entering.

At the start your team value must be 40m or less,following the first kick off this restriction ends.

Your team must apart from the above stipulations follow the terms and conditions of TFF.

Transfers
Declaring your transfers is optional but it adds to the fun and the banter if you post your thoughts.

A penalty of 10 points per game plus the relevant points scored by the player will be deducted from any team with an illegal player.

I cannot track every team so the Winner will need to post there history at the end of the game.

Your team must be made public before kick off on the 14th of June.

This comp is only for fun with just the pride of winning.

You can name your team what ever you want as long as it has your Fiso username in it somewhere

Springing into action today by bringing in two for Morocco ~ GK Mohamedi, M and STR El Kaabi, A ~ If anything this exercise sure adds info to the brain cells which no doubt will reappear for a Pub Quiz, when required. What Pub I hear you ask. Are they any pubs left, etc, etc.

Have this game v Iran down for a draw, mind you. A possible draw tonight too, Spain/Portugal

[Tom D'Arcy]

Have brought in the world famous Finnbogason to help rattle that Man City & Man Utd defence, I mean The Argies.
Go Me!

Or another 1st game upset?
Watching those transfers now, all around...

[Tom D'Arcy]

Saving Penalties?

This why all good Mums go to Iceland?

Only 4 of us playing but good luck all

In what's becoming a most unusual World Cup ~ Who predicted all of Sunday's scores, eh? ~ Monday is a fine day, for I am retired, to claim back this Tiny Lge leadership.

With Sweden, South Korea, Panama and Tunisia all plying their trade, opportunities may abound.

Donald Trump would plump for South Korea (obvious reasons) and perhaps Tunisia too. The Donald is no fan of England, at the moment, no Royal State Visit, etc, etc...

However, looking at what's happening score wise ~ Do not forget some of these "minor team" players have been in the major leagues (Premiership La Liga, etc for years now...)
Are upsets the norm? Throw The Rule Book out the window? Is it England's chance for glory?

Who does play for Tunisia?
No idea

Back in the morning...

[Tom D'Arcy]

We now know the Panamanian National Anthem backwards which prompted me to load/parachute three of their boys into Tiny Team Tom:

Gómez, Cooper and Pérez

Good Luck to me...and them.

They will need it!

[Tom D'Arcy]

Not a "Tiny Lge" Day ~ Expect Portugal, Uruguay and Spain to walk it, unless VAR strikes again

The following might be of interest to some in what is becoming The World Cup of Penalties, as Lineker and co said:

Which players are most likely to take penalties at the 2018 World Cup finals?

Sorry lost a bit off interest in this with only 4 entrants, end of group stage scores and looking like a 3 horse race.

Final result and well done Tom, Looks like mystery is going to revitalize the proper game for this year so hopefully a few entrants.

Thanks, enjoyed that and a "Tiny Team" made the final! Now on with TFF for 2018/19. Want to get involved here. Ran a Private League last season with well over 300 teams and am about to sort another one, albeit this time with a £2 entrance, and many prizes. Self had some success in the CL game last season, my league came third to a "FISO" first I noted...

Also, noticed the name "Andrew Stevens" on a list of World Cup winners? Well done
