Now what happens when they get a penalty again? Who takes it?

In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik and Imran discuss United's thrilling but ultimately disappointing 3-3 draw with Galatsaray. They talk Onana, our fading hopes of getting out of the group, and whether we want Europa League football or not.
They also discuss a comfortable (?) win at Everton and probably don't spend long enough talking about THAT goal and Kobbie Mainoo.
Finishing with a look ahead to a punishing December schedule which will make or break the season.
Yeah he looks more assured without him
Apparently he's asking for extra training and also getting help from Bruno & Martinez which is really impressive dedication
What kit is this
One of the ugliest in World Cup history.
Murdered clown.
The early kick-off set the tone, South Korea v Ghana with the best game in this edition thus far and two stellar performances by our guys in the latter two games (and a special mention to Pellistri) capped off an enjoyable World Cup matchday. Sunday was really good, too. It's picking up!
Can Pellistri prove himself in those cup games
We know Ronaldo is your hero and how he did nothing wrong. Hope he goes home and makes you happy.
I am happy he left. So easy to put everything on personal bias when the guy has always been a narcissist and always about him.
Cheers.
I think the intent is lunging yourself wildly at the ball and making a hash of it. If it flicks off some other part of your body first (e.g. Martinez against Sociedad) then it's absolutely unfortunate. But in this case he would have denied a clear goal-scoring opportunity after a great bit of skill, having been completely done. I view it as mistiming a tackle.
I agree it shouldn't have been given based on the rules as they are now, I just think the handball rule is moronic (e.g. allowing the Middlesbrough goal to stand).
There are rumors that Vlahovic fecked Rajkovic's, his teammate, wife, everyone hates him there now and that is why he is not playing, basically atmosphere is shite. I can see easy Switzerland win if that is the case.
One love; undercover.
Our warm up kit, beatiful isn't it
The seats in the team bus have the same exact pattern, I guess they told the designer to make a pattern for the bus seats but then forgot to tell him/her they would also make shirts of it
Heard that one too from multiple sources.

What a good teammate Ronaldo is.
What a good teammate Ronaldo is.
To be fair, it looked fairly clear to me that it flicked his hair, so it should be his goal. Hilarious that it’s been taken away from him though.
How so?
From the replays and stills I’ve seen. Hard to be certain but it’s close enough that I’d give the player claiming to have touched it the benefit of the doubt.
From fairly certain to hard to be certain. There's no replay or image in which its certain or even remotely certain he touched it.
Found the video btw. He was literally laughing at the whole thing.
Ronaldo even said in his interview that if Portugal won the WC without his goals he wouldn’t care, he would be the happiest man alive.

Ronaldo: “I feel disrespected by FIFA for awarding my goal to Bruno. I’m gonna cry to Piers Morgan for another interview”.
There is no video or still photo that shows Ronaldo’s hair being touched by or in any way flicking the ball. And in fact every video shows that the ball did not change direction even in the slightest.
This is clearly a case of Ronaldo, a man for whom stats and image are paramount, attempting to claim a goal from a teammate that rightfully belonged to the teammate.
You can’t give the benefit of the doubt to Ronaldo just because you didn’t see what he claims happened. That’s ridiculous. There’s people with bets etc riding on that
Was about to post this and figured somebody must have had already. Possession & attack has been kind of decent, but defensive strength has been their backbone so far.
Love it whenever stuff like this comes up
To my memory the only confirmed such incident was Lentini, who actually destroyed his career by getting in a serious car accident driving up to screw his teammates' wife
There is some serious smoke about this though, lots of sources in some Serbian circles confirming this, not just random drop info. Apparently, Rajković follows every lad in national team except Vlahović on Twitter(or was it Instagram) also.Love it whenever stuff like this comes up

They are that stupid. Portugal are appealing.
Now there are rumours 2 Serbian players are in a relationship.
Together?
Yup. Its from tabloids so take it with a huge amount of salt. But the rumour about Vlahović and Rajković's wife has been spreading like wildfire all around the internet so.
"Even Bruno agrees". Yeah, in that "FFS, please shut the feck up about it. Yes, whatever, it was your goal, fine. Jeeeeesus Christ." kind of way.
I actually wish he had headed it as Rochet would have had a chance of saving anything other than the original cross/shot
