- Thread starter gooDevil
- 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?
What a talent Rodriguez is
Fair do's didn't know that! Just know he scores incredible amounts at club level.
He's been very impressive but tbf this is not the strongest group in the tournament.
Not a reflection on him but Colombia haven't been really tested yet.
What? He scored in a Colombia - Guatemala over a year ago, maybe feb or may 2013.
Great supporters
No, they were good at the Confed Cup and decent in this game, but absolutely dreadful in the first two games. Big disappointment for me.
Oh my...sign him, RIGHT NOW!
OK he's amazing.
Lovely goal. Deserved.
James with a nice goal.
Awesome.
Awesome.
What a player Rodriguez is.
Oh wow! What a goal 
WOW James!
OH MY GOD, WRECKED!
He looks top quality.
Great goal.
James Rodriguez is so, so good. Great goal.
Sign him! Would he rather play in Monaco or Manchester?
Quite the player.
James Rodriguez is wasted in the French league.
Sexy time
James Rodriguez...
I want one.
I want one.
In a competitive match*
What a goal!
1-4.
Hames Rodriguez, sensational goal
Have you been to Monaco?
We need to get Rodriguez.
Holy shit what a beauty
Japan raped
My darkhorses looking good.
Have you been to Monaco's amazing 18 000 capacity stadium?
JAAAAAAAAAAAAAY ROOOOOOOOOOOD
Player of the group stages.
Player of the group stages.
As much a shithouse as Manchester tbh
Just going by what the BBC commentary said, they didn't mention competitive or not.
I've been very disappointed with the Japanese this tournament.
Goal Bukkake
It was funny when ppl were bemused at seeing them 3rd in ranking a while back
Great goals by Colombia, especially the 3rd and 4th goals. While the Japanese are trying to play that last pass in the box Colombians will take it to the finish themselves.
Rodriguez made the difference for Colombia. Japan had to stop Colombia's 2nd goal at the top of the second half. Defense needed to sense the danger and go harder on the dribbler. Great teams have strong defenders who play tough.
Honda indirectly guilty of Colombia's decisive 2nd and 3rd goals by not making the simple pass and trying to do something complicated and losing the ball. This team was built centering Honda, so his decline means decline of the team.
Okazaki played aggressively and well, even besides the goal.
New coach and new players for 2018 please.
