Yes, at 5 AM here, so it's actually good timing before I go to work.
Manchester United vs LA Galaxy (Pre-season Friendly)
- Thread starter gooDevil
- Start date
-
In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik @Rood and Imran @Annihilate Now! start with the good news by celebrating Manchester United Women's emphatic FA Cup win over Spurs at Wembley and the future of manager Marc Skinner.
Then it's the bad news and the ever worsening form of our Men with losses to Arsenal and Palace.
Finally the main debate - ETH Out now or keep him until the end of the season - if not longer. Are you Team Nik or Team Imran?

3-1 and just working through the line up predictor, its a great touch. Love being on Uni holidays, able to sit up through the night and watch the tour de france and will be keenly watching this game too.
Can anyone tell me how much time from now the game starts? Stupid time differences can't to the math!
Just under 16 hours. Your local time should be at top right of this webpage.
Could it be 6 minutes past because of National Anthems. Baseball games never start on the hour because of that.
yep
I will definitely be watching this when I get home from work tonight! So happy United are back! I'm really hoping with a full pre-season under their belts that Shaw and Herrera can hit the ground running when the PL resumes. Big tour for zaha and lingard as I think one of them will be sold/ loaned out again (we've seen how loans can go either way and both really need to kick on from here if they have legitimate first team aspirations )
It will also be very interesting to see what LvG does with Fellaini over the next few games. To my mind he's not a United style player but he couldn't possibly be as bad as last season suggested either could he? He may have something to offer this year, you never know! All the players will have something to prove this season under a manager who won't be at all afraid to make the tough calls. I'm really excited for this season!!! This thread looks class by the way, kudos!!!
If anybody needs me ill be stalking the vidal thread waiting for fresh 'news' : |

Just noticed your location description, funny enough me and a few work pals were discussing that infamous feck up by Souness just the other week!
It was Souness though in fairness! Great player, meh pundit, bad manager! That was some stroke to be fair, it'd be impossible in the top flight these days.... ah to reminisce.....
Back on point I don't mind the result tonight, just hope the zombie slow motion passing dies!!!!

Can't wait for this! I think it's safe to assume that the formation we play tonight will be the formation we use all season. LVG will know exactly how he wants us to play, I don't think there will be any experimenting on different formations. It's not really important who starts to me, just how we set ourselves up. Obviously it's early days but hopefully we have a spring in our step if it's true that everyone is buzzing.
Ahhhh, it's 12:06 pm here. I'll have to find an internet cafe at lunch break to watch the match. Sucks to be honest
skipping a couple classes in the morning. meh. united are back. hope the youngsters get a proper look in.
If I understand correct the match goes in replay at 11.00 Thursday morning at MUTV? Anyone that can confirm that? Don't feel like getting up at 5 :|
Does anyone know, Is the game just on mutv or is it on others(uk)? Wondering if I'll have to find it on the internet
It's only on MUTV in the UK. It's on SuperSport 3 in South Africa though, if that helps.
Just look up the schedule on manutd.com

Thank you very much!
-Spielmacher, had some problems entering the site. But your link worked, thank you!
Hopefully my trusty river doesn't let me down! I think mutv is only really essential viewing during pre-season. I'll catch a couple of reserve/u 18s matches throughout the season as always but not enough to justify a subscription. I'm loving LvG in training... "aren't you not a defender?" to Jones during a left footed shooting drill : )
It's the polar opposite of last summer. Van Gaal is easily our most important signing. I think the players he puts his trust into are going to love him. I also think Rooney looks like he's enjoying it a lot (even though I'm not his biggest fan) A lot of these lads are still very good footballers, I think I was in the process of forgetting that after last season. Hurry up, football!!

I'll be floating down the stream at around 1pm Australia time tomorrow. Hopefully I can watch the game at my usual river.
I gonna wake to watch the game. Man i really hope for a flying start.
Is there a way to review my line up predictions and make some changes?
Any idea which channel I can catch the game on in India?
How long until the game?
Not yet, but editing lineup predictions is coming.
You can see your chosen lineup on the Match Day homepage: https://www.redcafe.net/match-day/
This will show on the match view (i.e. this page) as well soon.
The kick-off time is at the top of the page...
Kinda surprised at all the 4-1 predictions. Galaxy isn't a world class team or anything, but they are match fit and in their season's full flow, whereas United are rusty and working in a new system, not to mention there's a good chance we'll play a few academy kids instead of a "on paper" strongest team.

Moyes's preseason was a disaster and it followed on through the season. I think it will be very different this time around. Don't think I've been this excited for a pre season friendly!
Agreed, those people will probably be disappointed. I see a scrappy sort of game and either a draw or a narrow United win. (Right beam of sunshine, I know.)
I went for 2-2 in the scorecast. Gradual improvement is all we should ask for at this point.
This will be my first game ever. Not just United, but my first football game I have ever attended, so excited!
Any songs I should try to learn in the next several hours?

I'm saying 1-1 or 2-1. Results shouldn't matter as long as there are positives that can be taken from the games on the tour. Let them get their match fitness back and LvG can try out a few new things and look at the players he wants to keep around. ....but saying that, a few of these lads will be playing for their future and all will be trying to impress ,so, I'd expect a certain level of intensity and competitiveness even though the matches are only friendlies.....
Sony Six And Sony six hd !
Have to be up for work at 5 anyway so i'll likely only see the first half, but i'll be a bit annoyed if i get up early and there's no decent rivers about.
Well I'm off work Thursday & Friday so i plan on getting up to watch this one!
Not bad for your first post, mate. Thanks a ton!
Hats off to Niall for the new matchday features btw. Looks really good.
I think we will come out screaming and kicking. 1-2 for Mufc.
I went for 5-0, because I couldn't vote any higher.
