He knows he’s cooked - but won’t accept it
Day 17: Morocco vs Spain | Portugal vs Switzerland (Last 16 7&8)

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?
Of course I'm overreacting, it's the world cup and silly season is mere weeks away. Don't be a party pooper.
I assume you mean final? They're on opposite sides of the draw.
I switched off immediately. Did Ronaldo really leave for dressing room while team stayed celebrating?
Fair enough.
No, no, you misunderstood. They'll surely give the Portuguese a tough, tough game.
Yes.
Did he seriously just walk out?
Yes. With sad and angry face.
needed to have his heart restarted after his brief cameo.
I saw him hug the striker who scored a hat trick, and it looked like he was hugging an opposition player. Really awkward.
Lots of fanbois of Ronaldo in Djibouti, he would love it
Morocco midfield is a bit underwhelming when trying to play forward, if Portugal manage to score first is gonna be painful for Morocco to look for the equalizer... Their plan seems 0-0 and pray to Bono, and maybe some counter attacks if possible.

Ronaldo as always is a selfish prick. Can't get psyched for his country and teammates succeeding. Nope as long as he doesn't get any individual success out of anything, they don't matter whether it's his club or country he supposedly love.
I really like Nigel de Jong.
was probably digging his nails in as he did it.
I noticed it but was like "no come on, he can't be that dumb, this isn't the moment for this"
Wow!! He seems to be lowering the bar again and again
Not possible. A final is
Not sure about him, have a feeling he might flop here, after all he is already 45.Aye that Ronaldo looks good
Interview incoming.
That’s the thing with many of these teams. Had Spain managed to score one and forced Morocco to open up they might have won comfortably. Scoring first matters a lot in the post asthma inhaler defensive strategy
Or political pressure from their FA.
Brazil can’t meet portugal in the semis.
Ten quid on Ronaldo to cry himself to sleep even if Portugal through to the next round.
Will probably announce that he is a Morrocan international tomorrow in a interview with Graeme Souness.

Spain completed over 1,000 passes in their game against Morocco. They converted this into a single shot on target, and no goals.
Spanish football really needs to evolve. It’s ok shit housing your way by diving and time wasting to get through your deficiencies in Europe but it doesn’t seem to be so easy to do that at international level

Spain should have started Morata, they looked way more direct with him.
And yes, usually very defensive teams rely on 0-0 for the first half, if you break their plan very early they tend to panic, same happened to Iceland in the Euro 2016 against France.
I hope Portugal qualifies, i want a really difficult game for France/England in semis, not just a team parking an Airbus to maintain the 0-0, while only one team is attacking.

All Ronaldo has to do is pull some strings in the Portuguese FA. They appealed to get the goal to be stolen from one of their players and gievn to Ronaldo to satisfy the man child's ego.
I actually had a sneaky feeling that Morocco might fancy their chances if they meet Portugal, but if the latter play like that again it would be very hard for anyone -- let alone Morocco with all due respect -- to stop them.
Losing respect day by day. When Leao scored, he put his hands up in frustration because Leao didn't cross instead.
Just incredible.
Yeah was over as a contest after first goal
You mean final as are in different sides of draw
They froze and Portugal scored first, after that they simply imploded.
Never expected such a trashing.
They have the means to hurt Portugal on the counter, especially on the wings. North African teams also seem to have a knack at playing for their lives once they go past the group stage.
Tough game in perspective but Portugal should edge it.
That was utterly awesome from Portugal. The best performance from any team at this tournament by a huge distance; and the best I've ever seen them play at any tournament in my lifetime. They're second favourites now given the draw, and nobody's gonna want to face them.
Second: unusually among England fans, I was always confident heading into this World Cup that we could reach the semis, and I still am. I genuinely think we'll beat France, however hard it'll of course be. But I was also horribly wary, even fearful, of Portugal - and that was before they went up so many levels tonight. Even average Portugal sides are horrible to play against; they have so much knowhow and keep the ball fantastically well. But this Portugal? Yikes!

Can somebody please explain to me why Dalot's cross to set up the 3rd goal is not being classed as an assist??
Hopefully Ronaldo will play.That was utterly awesome from Portugal. The best performance from any team at this tournament by a huge distance; and the best I've ever seen them play at any tournament in my lifetime. They're second favourites now given the draw, and nobody's gonna want to face them.
