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?
finally an Asian team beating a South American team for once
Been an enjoyable game, this. Japan deserve the 3 points.
That's weird considering that South American teams had "winnable" games in day one while Asian teams are regarded as the worst teams of their group (Saudi Arabia, Iran, Australia, South Korea and Japan)
It took me some time to figure out that he calls a throw-in "handball"... it's the guy that says "super-duper goal" tho
feck off Colombia, this was meant to be the "safe bet" of my treble.
Why is there always 5 mins added time on all these WC games?
Deserved win for Japan. Happy for them, I honestly didn't see this happen.
Japan's fullbacks are both pretty decent, Nagatomo and Sakai.
Why’s that fella in the crowd allowed his bag in the stadium but we get caught up with pricks bringing theirs and arguing with the stewards at Old Trafford?
Jesus Columbia are pish. Some of them can’t pass water. I’m looking at you number 3
Great win for Japan, played very well and makes their group very interesting now. Colombia just didn't have energy in the second-half.
Great win for Japan.
Well done Japan. Deserved victory!
Big surprise which turns this group upside down. Japan were supposed to be underdogs.
That's Colombia's tournament over, I think. Ran themselves to the ground today and still lost.
Happy for Japan. Could become a thriller of a group.
5th World Cup win for Japan
1st win on European soil
1st win against a South American team

Not a good start at all for Conmebol teams.
Happy with that result. I feared Colombia knocking England out in the round of 16. Hopefully they don't make it through.
Great win, you can see how much it means to them. The group got even more open
Poland vs Senegal

No Kouyate for Senegal, that's a bit of a surprise I think.
This World Cup has been amazing. All the big boys have struggled.
Glik not fully fit for Poland or?
So do people think Poland top that group now? Could be the easiest run to a semi final ever finishing 2nd in our group.
Lots of happy people at work tomorrow.
How can Krychowiak get no. 10 at Poland? He even barely started for relegated WBA.
Well done Japan. Players in tears. This is a remarkable achievement, despite Colombia shooting themselves in the foot with that early red card.
Don't think he's even in their squad, didn't he have a shoulder injury?
Finishing 2nd u probably meet England
Poland-Senegal looks pretty even. I predict a draw
So its an easy run then...
Yeah just looked he's on the bench. Fit but not 100% apparently.
It's just a number and he normally is pretty good for Poland.
Looking forward to see Ismaïla Sarr play - the youngest player at the tournament who had a good season in France. Happy to see him start.
Phil Neville and Mark Lawrenson.
Is Keita Balde Diao playing
Wonder what will Sanchez feel with his red card...(Escobar case)
Bench
No, they play with two wingers (Sarr and Mané) and two strikers (Diouf and Niang).
