Day 14: Nigeria vs. Argentina
- 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?

Yes! That freekick was actually pulled off. The amount of times I've thought an attacking player should pull away from the wall, they're rarely ever marked
What a clever pass
Alright, how much is this Musa gonna cost?
Close.....
What does this mean?
Guilty until proven innocence is the Caf's system of law. So this is justified.
Come on Lyricist... prove it.
Wtf
It's not a rule at all. Whether the ball is passed backwards or ahead of a player is irrelevant. All it maters is the player's position relative to the ball and the defenders at the moment of the pass. So, whilst uncommon, a player may be on offside when collecting a backwards pass, if he was ahead of the ball and tracked back to collect the pass. I didn't see the play in question so have no idea about this exact circumstante.
Argentina have lost their way a bit since Messi went off.
?
Aguero is always injured
,m,,,mmm

Turned into a snoozefest since Messi went off.
I only saw the first 20 odd mins
What was his 2nd goal like?
Why is he off now? Just rested I assume ....

fernandez is a garbage defender.
Lynching Lyricist is passing the time.
It is a rule. You can't be offside from a backwards pass. Google it.
Pekerman used messi just once as a sub
and?
they are dog shit, no prob with facing them.
I like the Nigerian goalkeeper's kit. Can't we have it at United?
Subbing Riquelme in that germany match was his blunder.
I don't need to google it. The rules are all on the FIFA website. All it takes for google to provide a wrong answer is for someone who doesn't know how to interpret the rule to write their wrong interpretation somewhere.
Ronaldo was in front of the mirror applying foundation. The best player came off after saving his team again.
Not sure why the commentators are reporting suicide bombings.
argentina's defence is just not good enough.
Ah, I agree. I didn't thought about it and found the comment strange considering that Argies got the first place in their group.
Replacing Riquelme with Cambiasso was one of the worst tactical mistakes I have ever seen and eleminated Argies. Until then they were completely dominating the game and were the best team in the tournament.
red on red? united keeper kits have to be green!
I think he's referring to when Pekerman subbed Riquelme off against Germany in 2006
To be fair, Arruda is right. If you're behind the ball when the ball is played, meaning the player has had to have passed the ball back to you for you to receive it, you can't be offside. However say for some reason or another the ball was played backwards, for example a typical FIFA goal, but the receiving player was ahead of the ball when the pass was made, he'd be offside if he went back to collect it.
You can if you are ahead of the ball.
Why's Sabella left Di Maria on? What an utter helmet. He's more important than Higuain.
I've been impressed with Nigeria today. They should take a lot of confidence from today's game going into the last 16.
don't know how to gif but I drew it just for you
Commentator suggested it wasn't offside because it was a backwards pass...that's all I said.

Sounds like a great atmosphere.
Messi carrying Argentina. Neymar carrying brazil. British airways carrying england.
Neymar isn't carrying Brazil at all, Oscar has been decent for them, Thiago Silva is holding that tumescent defence together and Ferdinandinho has made a difference. Just because he's scoring doesn't mean he's carrying them.
Argentina's fans have been unbelievable in every match so far.
You and Spiersey?Someone doesn't know the rules
