Austria could have booked their ticket to the Ro16 already. Ukraine getting a lifeline.

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?
Should have scored three by now. If this is going to bite us in the arse I'll be livid
Arnautovic seems spent. Done zero cardio in China it seems. We looked good though. Very entertaining game.
Pretty sure they progress with a draw as well.
Fun game. Unsure of what to think about the Netherlands when the bigger games come. They have excellent balance on paper with their defence and midfield, and now with Malen and Memphis a decent amount of dynamism up top. I do fell like the front 2 is where they lack the right players though, and despite loads of quality in the midfield and defence you feel like they'll lose out ultimately... but I'm not sure why. De Jong, Wijnaldum, De Ligt, De Vrij are all excellent players at the core and Blind provides great vision and passing from deep, and De Roon balances the midfield well too.
He should move to the Albanian league. Will get plenty of cardio there.
The first real team we face is going to fecking annihilate us honestly.
I agree but I don't think any gaol is undeserved unless it's an own goal. The circumstances on how it ends up at someone's feet is irrelevant because it's the final touch that matters.
Missed most of the first half. Did they assess Baumgartner before letting him play on?
Not a great look him going down twice before seemingly deciding himself that he couldn't continue.

Finally some playing time for my boy Berghuis. Make me proud!
2-0 now.
He gets forward for more than he ever did with Liverpool
Welp, thats game
Wijnaldum might be the best transfer PSG did in a while
Gravenberch is not ready for this level. Worst player on the pitch by some margin.
Feel it a bit for NM, they could've been in this.
I never have Netherlands as one of the teams to win the trophy, they lack a big name superstar this time especially with their best player Van Dijk out but they have surprised me well so far. Very balance and well-structured team with good teamwork. With a bit of luck going their way, they might make the semis.
I'd have liked to get a glimpse of Koopmeiners, see what he's about.
Wijnaldum surpasses Van Basten for international goals.
Player of the tournament
Wijnaldum with another.
Netherlands look so much more dangerous with Malen instead of that bean pole up-top
Worse than Malen? seems to have given the ball away everytime he’s touched it
Thought he had the hat trick there
Frenkie De Jong is so fecking good. Hurts me that he’ll never leave Barca.
Malens been great. Two assists.
Probably a good thing. Hate to see him at an oil club.
They look good but have a dead easy group. Let's see how they do in the knockout stages.
Seriously impressive record. He was more of an offensive midfielder earlier in his career, right? I remember him having a freer role at Newcastle (and PSV) further up the field to his most recent at Liverpool
Welease Wout Weghorst
Didn't promes stab someone
Round of applause for King Pandev. All the best
Why did Ukraine take Malinovsky off at half? Was he injured or something.
Yes, and ran away to Russia to escape any sort of proceedings iirc. Very dodgy
I hope we aren't in for Sneijder this summer, he look in need of a good preseason.
Nice goodbye for Pandev
Nice goodbye for Pandev
We’ll miss Wijnaldum.
Pandev out, last game for the NT and sneijder applauding him from the stands
I'll never forget that bayern-inter though when sneijder and eto'o looked ready to murder him on the pitch before he scored the winner

The attack has looked the best in the tournament so far, but man are they wide open 
Nooo lino why
