Good lord this has been shit so far 
Day 2: Portugal v Spain, Morocco v Iran and Egypt v Uruguay
- 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?
Egypt should give Salah last 20 minutes. They could nick one on the break way they're playing, lack quality in final third without his presence.
Defensive midfielder Carlos Sanchez on for Nandez.

I hope Suarez bites someone
EGY decent in defence, horrible up front.
They need to shoot every time they’re near the URU box.

Ah Rodriguez, another of these international players who seems to have been around forever.
Proper winger at least.

Carlos Sanchez in for Nandez.
Egypt are having more of the all at the moment, but without any real threat.
Maybe time to bring Salah.

Don’t know a lot about Sanchez, but he was assist King for them in the WC qualification. Hopefully he can provide something.
They look disjointed because they're playing a game they aren't good at. In the knockouts the games become different and it will suit them imo.
Is that Keown who is sucking air every 15 sec?!
Even though they are coping Egypt are taking a risk with not playing Salah with him seemingly fit. Unless that shoulder is nagging him and would affect his running motion and breathing or get worse as a result.
He usually bites those who are defending well against him, so he'll bite himself.
Apparently he was given the nickname because he looks like Trezeguet. There's not much of a resemblence for me. Similar nose maybeWhat's the story with this Trezeguet lad?
Games at walking pace,...61 mins
Honestly some of the shite on show here. Get Salah on.
Him and Mark Hughes, who does it mid sentence, are the worst talkers in football.
This game is looking perfect for Salah but I'm not sure I'd risk playing him
Group A is just so poor. Even the best team in this group is shit.
Is it just me or does the pitch seem dry? Had the same impression of the pitch in last nights game.
That bentacoruer is tidy player..
Suarez having a mare

Agree, Trezeguet up front is a good player too. Willing them on, I have them to win in a bet...
Christ
It's hilarious how bad this is.
Bentacur. Yeah he looks really comfortable in possession. Juve have got themselves another good young player
Starting to see how Varela never made it for us.
That wing play from Rodriguez
Egypt fans in good voice
Pitch is as dry as Keown's mouth.
This has been dreadful.
Not a chance hes close to full fitness imo. They wouldve brought him on or at least had him warming up. Big chance for what would be a huge win if he went on.
Atrocious game, looks like a La Manga-friendly on Eurosport in the summer. Uruguay have Cavani and Suarez, but without the usual bunch behind them at PSG and Barca they are not able to do much. Expect Uruguay to produce at least one big chance in the latter part of the game, they should be fitter and be able to be more aggressive when it's dying out.
This game is perfect for Salah. Egypt are catching them on the break but they lack quality. If Salah can't play 15 minutes of football then he shouldn't be on the bench. Unless he's acting as a fecking mascot.
Russia might end up winning this group.
Uruguay were much more effective when they just had Suarez dive and Forlan taking every free kick from ANYWHERE on the pitch.
Yep. Not a chance hes close to full fitness.
If Uruguay are going to play this way they need Stuani instead of Suarez. Hes more of a threat in the box.
Emptihad sporting orange seats today I see.
We don't need constant reminders of how 'terrible' or 'dreadful' the game is every other post.
Fierce excitement; a corner.
Whoops just saw ^

probably. Although on paper they are even worse than Egypt from what I've seen.
