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.
this is wales game all over again.
Oof, that looks painful. Hope he is ok, he has been excellent today.
Brilliant by Aaronson! what a fabulous 1st touch!
oh god....back 3???
Oh lord. This is going to be some backs to the wall, nerve-wracking stuff.
9 added minutes? Who died?
pulisic
CCV has been excellent.
I thought that was in.
Massive presence!
Congrats guys
I am exhausted
Really feel we went defensive way too early, but I'll take the win. That was a nasty affair.
I think you guys have a serious shot of taking out the Dutch tbh. Look at how Ecuador nulified them and you have more attacking quality in final third (if Pulisic is fit).
Just stop bring on these MLS guys as the quality really really drops. Still getting over Wright's cameo.

Great effort.
Thoroughly deserved qualification after 3 good performances.
The lack of a quality #9 is a clear issue in the long term. But 3 great team efforts so far.

Dutch don't look anything special, you lot should beat them if you work hard.
Wright and Moore are terrible. Should not see the pitch again.
If we go out to a "soccer" team, I will stop watching football.
I think it's likely at this point

I reckon the tenacity of your midfield will cause the Dutch problems.

I wouldn't risk it the way your team is playing
Reckon US will beat Holland.
Congratz to our USA red devils well deserved
well deservedIf Pulisic is out Saturday, who is the best replacement?
Man that was intense at the end.....Saw the game out even with a few jitters but didn't really let them have a big moment to score
I think though GB has to look at his subs....Moore and Wright were poor
Need to look at Yedlin over Moore if you have to bring in a new RB. Hopefully Sargent is ok for Saturday but if he and Pulisic go out tehn you have to bring in Reyna and Jesus against the back 3 of Holland.

They have a really good chance against the Dutch.
Going to be a tough Saturday though....My two favorite national teams, US and Netherlands, playing each other.
You guys have the team to confront and KO almost anyone (including the Nethrlands). But most of that second half was Wales all over again... You can't keep doing that.
we were too defensive, wright was crap. but happy to be through to the next round.
i think we can most certainly match the Oranje technically and even more so athletically....they play 352 so that will be a different test in terms of how GB sets them up tactically to press
We have a great chance of beating them

What's the deal with mckennie? Can only hold 60 minutes?
Not so convinced about the USA after that second half but they did have another good half in them. They just don't look good in front of goal. I'd probably pick the Dutch to go through at this point.
Gregg planning on trying to win the World Cup strictly on pens after finishing every match 0-0. Goals are overrated.
Glad we got the win was stressful at the end. Second half was to defensive we allowed them to build the pressure. All three games we have played great in first half we just haven’t done it for 90 which we have to if we are to keep on advancing.
Tyler Adams has been outstanding and I think one of the better players in this entire tournament. Quickly becoming my favorite US player since Dempsey.

We so totally controlled the first half, we should have "danced with what brung us" to that point. We let Iran back into that game when we should have been working on a second goal to put it away.
I'm fine with Aaronsson, but really should be Reyna.
he's coming off a thigh injury that kept him out leading into the WC
Coming back from a thigh injury.
Our midfield is what has allowed us to go undefeated to this point....have to find a way to score
pulisic is injured and good chance he doesn't play Saturday..may have a busted rib....so i would put up three really mobile players b/c none will beat VVD in the air
i'd go aarsonson, reyna and weah/jesus...let them use their pace and 1v1 ability to give the Oranje issues defensively
