Well, it's 2 swiss at leastIt's not the Swiss they hate

- Thread starter Samid
- 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?
Feels like everyone lost tonight
Didn't they play recently in nations league? Swiss are tricky to break down so could be one of those games that's still 0-0 by the hour mark and certainly low scoring.
There was a shot of the Swiss fans and there was an old bloke with a horned hat on rocking back and forth and it looked like he was doing the lad in front
It has nothing to do with Switzerland.
He'll be up there with Massing.
Best doesn't mean shit.
Every team has a chance to qualify. If you don't you're not good enough to be there, if you do you are.
Because good performance should be awarded and not penalized.
CAF are contributing 2/16 (12.5%) teams in the knockout stage.
They currently have 5/32 (15.6%) teams in the world cup, which seems reasonable, yet they're getting 9.33/48 teams (19.4%) next time.
Failure is being rewarded.
Yep.
Left it too late.
Should have had a crack at Granit before, you know he's dying for a good fight
No team managed to win 9 points, I'm pretty sure it didn't happen often.
feck this shit. No fight. Pathetic by Xhaka 
Shame we didn’t get Brazil v Portugal.
After the group stages, I'd say Morocco have had the most impressive results.
Only 1 team has lost a game in the group stages and gone on to win a world cup.
Brazil, Spain, Portugal and Argentina have all lost thus far.
Edit: France too!
England and Netherlands are the two unbeaten heavyweights left.

we are through get fecked hater
We came one Swiss goal away from facing Brazil. It would be what Santos deserved.
Japan.
If someone told you that Japan will lost against Costa Rica, and still top the group that has Spain and Germany on it, it would have looked ridiculous.
So your saying it's coming home?
Each confederations' best normally make it with little issue. The point is having the 9th best CAF team and 8th best AFC team will inevitably make the quality of the competition lower than having the 17th best UEFA team.
Coming home
Japan, surely
But yeah I get where you are coming from
So just stick to the Euros. That’s your choice, Europe already is over represented.
Suisse are an organized and good team, will give Portugal a tough game.
Serbia oh the other hand has been complete shamles, especially for a team who was by some called a dark horse. 8 goals conceded in 3 games.

About the same tbh but a very good shout tbh. Still 7 pts, 1 goal conceded and topping the group too against the vice word champion and the team that finished 3rd.
Serbia as a team is pure chaos, they have great players...certainly better players than Switzerland, playing for bigger clubs...but they are so imbalanced as a team and can't defend.
Switzerland under their new manager is so feckin boring to watch... but they know how to grind results, and also got a bit lucky with Jorginho missing his penalty.

Best group stage EVER
his biggest weaknes was always hes a hot headed dude! always good for a red card
That was the most wholesome red card ever.
France lost as well !
No chance that's a red card. It happens all the time. Remember Cheillini against Saka in the eutros?
It's a good shout tbh, I chose Morroco because of solid they've been and they beat teams that also needed to win all their games just like them
I think it needs to be compartmentalised
First round of games a mixed bag
Secound round similar but a little better
Third absolutely batshit crazy and best round of games I’ve ever seen in a world cup
some say football is boring because there are so few goals when in fact its what makes this game so exciting 1 or 2 goals can mean the world
Can we have a Japan VS South Korea final? That would be epic
Time to put money on England.. or Morocco
This tournament belongs to Brazil, they’ve got such an easy passage to the final, South Korea in the next round and a possible tie with Japan in the quarters. The Swiss didn’t turn up against them in the group stages whilst Serbia were just lame.
We have 10 teams, 4 (40%) qualify and 1 has a playoff.Don't get me started on Conmebol, back then you used to get at least 4 into the last 16 regularly, now you have 2, yet 60%+ of teams qualify?
In 2010 we had four in the quarters, that because Brazil eliminated Chile in R16
In 2014 we had four in the quarters, that because Brazil eliminated Chile and Colombia eliminated Uruguay in R16
In 2018 we only got two in the quarters because Argentina lost to France and Colombia lost to England in R16, Peru exited at group stage
We've been shite this time with only Brazil and Argentina going through. Ecuador and us let the region down not getting into R16 which is the standard par for the course. Australia stopped Peru making it, and delivered, no complaints there clearly.
Let's see in 4 years time if a team like Syria or El Savador (they'd have made the playoffs based on the qualifying this time with the 48 places in 2026) make it and lose all 3 games whilst conceeding 10+ goals. How interesting that'd be for everyone.
Qatar looked completely useless in this WC and they're miles better than the likes of Syria.
yes please or an african champion is long overdue
It’s be more interesting than watching Scotland vs Israel for the 700th time in the last 5 years
