For all the praise Brazil get for their squad depth they're majorly lacking in creativity without Neymar

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?
Interesting.
Piksi was swearing his Albanian mother, no need to make it like he said he loves Hitler or something gee, nationalistic peasant thats about it.
I don't see much praise.
Ah feck it.PM me
Jebem vam mamu šiptarsku u pičku.
Literal translation would be "i'm fecking your Albanian (just worse) mother in the cnut."
i dont know, if we manage to hold the lead and advance i can see portugal winning 4:0 against us
I assume every casual fan here who isn't familiar with him thinks he's German.
Antony was not good. In fact he was bad. Disappointing.
That should be a red tbh.
Zero attempt to play the ball and just tried to stop a goal.

I've seen the Brazil performance today, and that's not what I've seen from Antony. He has tried to make things happen, but lacking the final quality today to score or assist.
The yellow, red, and green kit of Cameroon is totally bitchin'.
Reported.
Bit weird how you’re going in on Antony to be fair. It hasnt been that bad, the game is being played out as one team not having anything to play for. It’s not that deep
Because there’s nothing to praise. He was dreadful.
He wasn't the last man though.
I'm going to assume "Da bog da trazio detzoo Gaygerovim broyachem" then, which is #2 in the top 9 world insults

There's just some directness missing whenever I watch Antony - I really hope it's just a phase
Let's call it as it is, he was saying 'siptari' which is the racial slang for Albanians (a bit like using the n-word for African-Americans).
Ye I thought the same. Haven’t really impressed this tournament. Look miles better with Neymar on the pitch.
Ok. Lets say it like this. He cursed shiptar mother to albanian player. That is in the line like saying feck your "Nword" mother to black man. Awful awful thing to say. If he said it. I don't want to be judge and a jury here
It’s more that his version of “trying things” is pointless and ineffective tricks. Tonight’s performance reminded me of Nani. Bad Nani. Not good Nani.
Doesn't matter. Martinelli is either getting a shot away or passing it across goal for a tap in.
It's no different than what Ole Solskjaer did. At least TRY to win the ball not just grab him like a rugby tackle
Gudelj will be gutted at being sent home to Morrowind after this.
People aren't going to praise him for being crap
Bruno Guimarães has had a shit game.
Everything has broken down with him
Everything has broken down with him
He mentioned "usta šrkbava". Not sure what that's all about.
Bruno's finishing today has been Lukaku-esque
Serbia out of ideas here
It's fine though, he's gonna die of heart attack soon anyway
It's not really a racial slur, ahiptars from Kosovo call themselves Sqiptars, same like Cigani call themselves Cigani but when someone else say it it's racism.
Definitely not dreadful either.
Yeah, never once tried to beat his man. Just silly little twists and turns that went nowhere. He was really crap. It’s disappointing as surely you’d want him to show a bit of determination to cement a place in the side.
Still, he is coming back off of an injury so worth giving him the benefit of the doubt.
Popuši ga malo purgeru
Thats actually weird, because my knowledge was always a Siptar is Albanian living on Kosovo, it is a slang, guess same how feckers says ciganin vs rom for gypsies, i surelly wouldnt say anything silly like making it even close to n word, the hell.

well in this context it was clearlz meant racists and its not like its a surprise
That's what I don't understand. He wasn't losing possession or wasting chances or stopping attacks. He was just average. Similar to many performances we've seen from other wingers in this tournament. Yet I haven't seen this level of need to call someone poor.
I would have liked for him to do more to win his place, but acting like he was bad is just weird.
Switzerland are on a whole other level of boring. I intensely dislike their style of play.
Yeah. When I say try things I mean... Progress the ball, make a chance. He tries plenty of tricks, but they never achieve anything.
I do like him and think we're better with him. Mainly due to the balance he gives us, he's press resistant, good in possession... But his chance creation and his movement when on the ball is a bit pathetic. It's something that can be changed which is my hope, as otherwise he's just there because he's a left footed player who knows how to control the ball
