I've heard it has something to do with Wikileaks.
Day 1: Opening Ceremony and Russia vs Saudi Arabia (Kick-off: 16h00 BST)
- Thread starter K2K
- 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?
Yeah quite possibly, football is advancing well in most countries. I expect it to be against teams that are better tactically that you'll see them struggle. Russia look a really poor side, so you'd expect better teams to close down and press better.
Do you guys think Jose was watchin Golovin that day? Hope so, I like him.
Think Akinfeev played in the euro 2004 play off against Wales.
Bereutzki brothers retired after euro 2016. If they'd continued Russia back 5 would've had combined age of nearly 200.
That was close.
The new rules are to ignore a clear offside when the player who receive the pass was the one over a yard offside?
Did I hear well,, pundit said KSA's number 10 has had a short experience on Manchester United?
What a great corner kick!
That's more like it a proper corner.
Looks quite lively upfront.
This game will probably be more exciting than the Portugal Spain encounter.
Dzagoev injured and out of the tournament would be a shame
Former boy wonder Dzageov done his hamstring. Bad luck for him.
Hamstring gone?
Ah shite for Dzagoev that
They even fired one of their last managers for not playing the way they wanted him to (not attacking enough)
Pulling a hamstring is feckin' horrible
If you are unsure keep the flag down. Then its VAR's problem if it goes in. Its supposed to be on tight decision but had it led to a goal that would have been reviewed.

From Wikipedia. In 29 March 2018 it was confirmed that he will spend three weeks training with Manchester United in order to sharpen up his game ahead of the World Cup in Russia.
There's a sniper on the roof!
Edit: Nope, just a blown hammy.

Dzagoev is a perma-crock!
Many players come to train with us at Carrington for some reason, we rarely hear about everybody.
Pretty open game so far.
Thank god we dont have to put up with Clive trying to pronounce Dzagoev any more.
We have some deal with the Saudis and a part of it was for one of their players to train with us for a few months.
That's a shame.
My original point was how anyone could be unsure of that. It was as blatant an offside as you’ll see the whole tournament. He wasn’t unsure, he missed it
As I said surprised Cheryshev didn't start, he's a good player for Villareal.
Do Russia change their kit frequently? I remember their best teams had tended to play in white kids like at euro 2008.

How so? Its not a top billing but its delivering
First game, first serious injury. Will probably miss out on the rest of the tournament
Can't believe Ramos just injured that Russian.
Interesting, where can I sign up for that? Is it like a waiting list or something? Do I have to pay?
The rule was made for tight decisions. That one wasn't even close.
Saudis somehow manage to look classy and clownish on the ball at the same time.
I would imagine it's sorted out through agencies or people pay to train there, who knows really.
A bit like Usain Bolt training with us, Beckham trained with Arsenal, i'm sure many other things like that happen.
What happened to Arshavin?
Where is Arshavin?
international football is awful. god
