Well, if Icelan win Argentina is fecked 
Day 9: Brazil vs Costa Rica, Nigeria vs Iceland, Serbia vs Switzerland
- Thread starter whatwha
- Start date

In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik and Imran hold a long overdue conversation about United's awful league form with 1 win in 7. They discuss a disappointing draw at Bournemouth, a not so disappointing draw against Liverpool and a crushing defeat at Chelsea - Is time nearly over for Erik Ten Hag?
Then in a special second half of the pod, Nik welcomes Natalie ( https://twitter.com/natalie_17) to discuss the fortunes of Manchester United Women as they booked a place in the FA Cup Final after a historic first ever win vs. Chelsea.
I'd also rather see United facing Notthingham Forest than today's Arsenal but you don't see me being a dick about it.
Agreed. Those Forest sides with Robertson on the wing, McGovern holding, Francis, Woodcock, O'Neil, Gemmill, under Clough in his heyday played some great football in that era. Definitely superior to Wenger's last few sides. Can't forget Kenny Burns and Viv either, Amazing characters. Those Forest sides really deserve more recognition and remembrance as they are quite the legends.
Yeah, but Iceland have since then applied the latest Viking technology to their new super line of buses that they will neatly line up in two rows in front of goal. France would not score 5 this time, I guarantee it. Besides watching Griezmann and Dembelé put their hands up in frustration and yelling mérde every time they crash against the Viking bus makes for compelling watching too.That would be classic though
Messi getting humiliated in a knock-out by France's new stars?
Anyway, despite my fun hyperbole, we already saw France 5 - Iceland 2 in the Euros. France is even better now than 2 years ago. That's why that match prospect bores me immensely
Neymar was a laughing stock in the first game
I hope he tries to play football and stop being a bitch

That is never going to happen. You know why ? Deschamps is a pragmatist, if he is leading 1-0, he will go defensive, just like vs Peru, just like vs Australia.That would be classic though

This isn't a manager who will let go of the team to trash an opponent and the team doesn't play coherently enough to trash an opponent
They won't. It really is about time France stops getting overrated. If France wins, it will probably by 1 or 2 goals at most.
Eagles can fly over busses?
Would much rather see Argentina have a chance to qualify in their final group match and see how they react. Also I'd much prefer Argentina to qualify over Iceland, at least Argentina vs France is interesting on paper. Got no interest in seeing Iceland parking the bus against another big team in the RO16.
So go Nigeria. A Nigeria win would also make the Nigeria- Argentina game a real tasty affair.

If he gets there in time from his unveiling at United yesterday
Bad jokes aside some rumours that it will be same 11 as started vs Switzerland.
Iceland seem to becoming a lot of neutrals guilty pleasure, would have never thought Id be looking forward to Iceland vs Nigeria more than Serbia vs Switzerland. Is anyone actually looking forward to Serbia vs Switzerland?? (Besides their fans?)
Don’t know if he has fully recovered from his injury but I hope he has.
Don’t think if he will start but I hope he plays at some point during the match.
Neymar best have gotten more match fit than he was in the first game because he was awful and couldn't shake Behrami.
He won’t start. He is fully fit though.
If Paulinho stink up the joint again, I can see Tite bringing on Fred.
I don't understand why they'd insist in playing him if he's not 100%. Surely Coutinho, Firminho, Jesus and co can dispose of Costa Rica?
Why do Brazil play Willian over Douglas Costa? Don't they have enough workrate in Casemiro & Paulinho?
Neymar "expected" to start.....was he a doubt?

Fred is back on the bench for Brazil. He'll probbably get a chance Tite likes him. Iceland to win.
Why isn't Allison starting?
He is
He had some ankle problems, but nothing serious.
I saw A. Becker in the tweet, didn't know it was him
Honestly, Tite can’t go wrong with either choice. Willian has been one of Brazil best players in the last 4 years.
Serbia Switzerland should be tasty.
Laughing stock? The swiss players should have been carded way before, blatant fouls going unpunished by the ref.Neymar was a laughing stock in the first game
I hope he tries to play football and stop being a bitch
Operation "Kick Argentina off the World Cup" - success.
Operation "Kick Brazil off the World Cup" - started.

Looks like Brazil vs. Pepsi
Fred doesn't get much love from Brazil does he
Brazil's home kit if probably the best in football. This shit they are wearing now is not.
Poor guy.
Oh please let me past - I am Neymar I am not allowed to be tackled - oh I am barely touched lets scream and roll around like I have been shot.
Could be shit as far as i know, 'cause I've never seen him either!
Worries me slightly that he rarely starts for them.
Casemiro has a nose bleed! Get Fred on
Damnit, so close!
Should be 1-0 to Costa Rica
