Day 19: Brazil vs Mexico and Belgium vs Japan
- Thread starter K2K
- 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?
Verdad
I like how the Belgium defence casually stood there for that strike
England are definitely going out tomorrow.
They were same under Wilmots.
Tony Meola just referred to some 'knuckle' on that shot. @Carolina Red
Belgium! 
Banzai Nippon!
Winner takes the Kuril Islands.
This is incredible. I can't believe what I'm watching. Japan can play. Japan can really play.INUI!!
0-2
Belgium going full belgium

KDB has been awful.
Time for a sub. Henry for Lukaku
Inui looks very good
KDB has had a poor WC, hasn't he?
Time for the big fella...
Both strikes were perfection. They had to be, the tallest keeper could not get to them.
Omfg!
Japan are razor sharp in attack. That's the difference between them and Mexico.
Lukaku will score. You can quote me on it.
It's coming 家.
They were woeful v Poland. Senegal should've beaten them aswell.
Bonkers World cup.
Losing to Belgium B team was the best thing that happened to England.
Germany

Japan is playing some great stuff.
Send for Plan B!
It's like their last group game was some kind of rope-a-dope to give Belgium a false sense of security.
Yeah if they had a decent manager this Belgium side could be on there way to winning a major tournament but as long as they appoint poor managers who are punching above their weight they'll continue to fail on the big stage.
So far the knockouts have been all about the small nations unexpectedly beating the big nations.
That's why I think England will win tomorrow.
That's why I think England will win tomorrow.
And not as talented as they are made out to be. Carrasco, Witsel, Mertens, these are not world class players, and I think all of their CB's are wildly overrated. Hazard is a great talent but this is the moment for him to show he is a leader in big moments.
Doesn't rhymeInui causing Belgian ennui.
Too verbose that?
KDB is disappointing.
Bring Fellaini and given Japan something to think about.
Bring Fellaini and given Japan something to think about.
Hazard is only one playing at his normal level. Belgium players need to step up.
Sub Carasco right away .
That made me smile....
errr
I've said it before but i genuinely think England are going to win it. The whole tournament that is, not just tomorrow.
No really
This world cup is genuinely incredible. I've loved pretty much every second of it so far.
