Perhaps in Rugby Union
Day 5: Sweden vs South Korea, Belgium vs Panama and Tunisia vs England (19H00)
- 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?
Erm no
I watched it in virtual reality and we won 10-1
I just hope that Young is dropped and Rose starts from now on.
All that Young mostly does is check back and play the ball backwards. It's so easy to stop him because the defender knows he won't try and go past him to cross the ball with his left foot.

Why did he keep on an injured player for an hour?
Yep they should've been 4 down after half an hour.
I got shouted down for daring to suggest Egypt deserved a point v Uruguay so no way Tunisia should've got one when they were far more dominated. Even with England poor in second half they hardly had a shot at Pickford.
The result is what matters. Other teams are sweating on the next game. England deserved the win. Tunisia, the ref and VAR got what they deserved.
They completely neutralized England in the second half, created nothing until the goal. By half time England should have been winning by a few but after half time 1-1 wouldn't have been unfair. They deserve a lot of credit for how they got their shit together, by the 15th minute mark I thought England were going to score 10.
That Rafael dive was a joke, but really the ref should have taken the majority of the blame for that, abysmal reffing. I hadn't realized Vardy was so popular, I suppose as a story he has a great one, my dislike is as irrational as simply not liking his face. Reminds me of a guy I grew up with who turned into a total arsehole. Makes no sense but there you go.
I'm a neutral my friend.Ireland fan?
Think you watched the Alternate Reality version
Quite a few takers on that last comment
I have simpathy if your team isnt full of cnuts and completely ruining the game with fouls, time wasting, dives and faking injury. Iceland for example are defending, but arent cnuts. Tunisia are shit though and just didnt win over any neutral fans by ruining the game with their tricks
England fans on the Caf - no disrespect - are a negative bunch. If there is sunshine today, you are more concerned with the fact that there is a 50% chance of precipitation tomorrow. Plenty of "big" countries will not go far this year. England probably won't win it. So why not just enjoy the thrill of an injury-time winner, and look forward to the next game, without worrying about a potentially embarrasing exit (which might happen) somewhere down the line?
it was youngs corner that led to our first goal.
Deserved win.
You mean after the reaction you got you'll pretend to make out that you were trolling. We get ya mateQuite a few takers on that last comment
I agree, but he is defensively very solid which is why we might be playing him. Is annoying to not have any width down that side though.
Don't think Rose should start over Young but I definitely think those two should be subbed interchangeably depending on March conditions
The ref was corrupt. He was letting Tunisia stand 5 yards from free kicks.
Haha. I’m against anti football. Was praying for a draw or a last minute Tunisia winner but there was only one team even trying to play for 75 minutes there.
Adjusted for some kind of ranking of the teams played, I assume the differences are very slim - as they are with all myths and gut feelings
Doesn't change my view that Rose is far better as left wingback.
I would be checking a few bank accounts. The refs and VAR have been great up until tonight. Then we get the idiots.
Clearly England deserved the win. The next ref won’t be so lenient when Kane gets manhandled again, surely.
you are against anti football, but was praying for a draw and a last minute Tunisia winning?
So the team playing anti football was the team you wanted to win, or get a point? Got ya.Agree. I do think Young does more than what you said though.
Can VAR pick up incidents and notify ref to review them?
Genuine question cause I thought they can (or heard one of the commentators mention something similar).
Young, Kane (for his match-winning goals), Lingard (minus finishing), Trippier, Maguire, Henderson - speaking impartially, those were good tonight and should comfortably stay put.
@Arbitrium is a jock on a troll. Ignore him.
Against it in the sense that I can identify it and tell you who Deserved to win the game.you are against anti football, but was playing for a draw and a last minute Tunisia winning?
you talk shit mate. Want a bigger spade?
Reporting you for using this slur. Unacceptable.
Maguire made a couple of hospital passes but brought the ball out well and is excellent at winning headers in the opposition box and then playing them into dangerous areas.
What don’t you understand? Obviously England deserved the win and obviously I couldn’t care how any team grinds out a result if it affects England?
Definitely, if it was a rugby union game.
Yes they are watching right through the game and are supposed to tell him if anything needs looking at. Both the ref and VAR were a disgrace tonight.
Spurs fan in backing Spurs player for LB and picking a Spurs player for MoTM shocker.
The part where you said you are anti football but wanted a tunisia win
I liked how fearless he can look at times, thought he was easily the most commanding of the three and if I were to guess watching them for the first time I'd say it's him who's got the experience.
