Pretty open game so far, definitely defying my expectations. Iran is getting into foul trouble, though - I could see them getting a man sent off.
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?
Probably punters.
FFS Morocco
That bloody buzzing noise.
Whoever took those goddamn vuvuzelas into the stadium should lose. If it’s both sets of fans, just disqualify both teams. I hate those things with a passion.
sounds like they are playing under a giant bees nest, it is fecking annoying.
Hmmm I'm watching a game where their players are constantly lunging in with reckless tackles.
good game so far
Whatever it is, just destroy it. It’s horrible. How in the world could someone think that a constant, loud noise passes as atmosphere?
It's still annoying whatever it is.
So many mexicans on the stands, for some reason. Would blend in if not for the sombreros.
What is the fecking point of this noise ?
Infuriating.
Infuriating.
I wonder what sort of proportion there usually is for foreign fans vs locals at world cup games.
Godin is freak of the nature, playing so good with 32 when it's a common knowledge your legs are gone when you're 30.
Morocco no longer good.
Just tuned in. How's it looking? Another shit game?
I bet there are plenty of people in those cultures too who would rather be without that shit.
Ya, they've tired a bit after their opening relentless pressing. Iran have done well to come through without conceding.
Not sure if this is a great WUM attempt or you're just blissfully unaware of sports science
Better than Uruguay v Egypt.
Relatively dull but not necessarily awful. Few chances, but feels like the game needs a goal to spark it into life.
A bit like our England band but even less tuneful?
You'd be surprised.
This game needed an early goal.
You're not sure?
Theres been a lot of injuries at the world cup so far. In the first 2 games 2 players have had to go off, maybe another one here for Iran?
How is Ziyech doing?
I expect the same at the winter world cup. 2026 will smash records for best attended WC.
Really?
Whats to investigate? Mixture of abaurd ticket prices and a racist country people don't want to go to.
This is dire stuff.
Suarez could not have botched that chance any worse..
Iran could have taken the lead.
Hilarious stuff. Missed an easy one on one.
