It's brilliant, it's what knockout competitions are all about.

In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik (@Rood) was joined by comedian Ali Woods to look back at the best and worst moments of a rollercoaster season with the annual United Hour Awards.
Has Ten Hag been sacked yet? We're not sure and we hope not, but it's looking more likely as the days pass.
Who should replace him and why is it taking so long to make a decision?
Are you seriously going to go as far as calling someone an idiot for a misplaced letter?Tow? TOW?! Bro, don't you mean TWO! What a idiot!!!
I think you need a question mark after two and it is "an idiot" not "a idiot."
What a complete douche rock!
Misplaced?! The only thing misplaced around here is you're brain, moron! Can't even spell a three word letter corectly and you think you can go around calling people a idiot?
Again, it's "an idiot" and correctly is spelled with two R's.
Also, I'm not quite sure what a "three word letter" is, but I'm sure you will enlighten all of us.
The stupid itv studio & segments on the beach
The more green smileys you post, the funnier the rest of us find your rebuttals.
Get a grip.
It's more then a TOW word letter thats for certian now go away fool I'm sick of destroying you on grammerAgain, it's "an idiot" and correctly is spelled with two R's.
Also, I'm not quite sure what a "three word letter" is, but I'm sure you will enlighten all of us.
Hey buddy.
I know you are wumming him at this point, but I just had to.
The baggage retrieval system they've got at Heathrow.
I hate the stupid folding of the arms pose the players do when the line-ups are being read out.
I also hate Greece but they're gone now thank feck.

The irony is beautiful

You forgot 'then', amongst others
The ironing is delicious.
Most of my friends don't care about football so I cant go to public viewing or even a bar.
Chiles is a basketcase, with his Van Huntelaar. ITV in general is pretty poor anyway, but I couldn't believe that you had a table with Hoddle, O'Neill and Cannavaro, and none of them even corrected Adrian on it. They probably all thought he was making a daft joke, and hell, he might even have. That's how bad it is with these commentators, you don't even know if they are fooling around or actually that daft (although with Chiles one can guess). I did rate Martin O'Neill as a coach, but after the amount of nonsense he has been spouting over the past weeks I seriously wonder how he has ever managed to successfully coach a PL squad.
People who usually have no interest in football suddenly becoming very chatty on the game and pretending to be experts on the subject by making bleeding obvious statements or by having stupid opinions.
"So, that Messi is some player huh?"
"So, that Messi is some player huh?"

I hate this Brazil team and the way they play football. The fact they cant string together a few passes and keep the ball is embarrassing from a nation who was once the masters at it. Yes there is alot of pressure on them but they are professionals and these players have had long enough to deal with that. The only plus side is their fans, they have been magnificent.
I wonder about the eye-candy shots, does the cameraman have a spotter like a sniper does?
Dream job!
Dream job!
You're really scraping the barrel here. It's been a fantastic tournament. I'm not old enough to remember many world cups but it's been the best one from the all the WCs I can remember (94 onwards).
Too many crowd shots that stay on the subject to await their reaction to seeing themselves on the big screen. It's only a matter of time until a goal is missed because the camera is zooming in on someone's face in the crowd. Oh, and Ian Darke and fecking Mcmanamanaman. Pair of cnuts.
Well, that's reassuring. When the neediest can't get the health care they need, at least there may be that feel good factor that the World Cup brings. Silly me.
A fine specimen of English manhood. Gut hanging over his pants and more chins than the Hong Kong phone directory.
Alexi Lalas and Taylor Twellman. Lalas is tolerable in small doses, but Twellman is an abhorrent little twat.
For the talk about understanding the subtleties and nuances a lot is being lost in the ESPN broadcast.
The other thing that is making me mental is the whole surviving the group of death is greatest soccer achievement evar mentality.
As an a Belgian American it is a great achievement and I'm proud of the US for their moxy but I'm a little frustrated with the dismissive attitude towards Belgium.
Yes the U.S. Can beat Belgium but it's not as simple as just showing up and wanting it more. There are a lot of nuances involved and the U.S. Could play their best game and still lose.
What's even worse is that the ESPN broadcast only assess the game from what the U.S. Is going to do and not what both teams will do.

The ref of the France - Nigeria game. Bottler.
tl;dr = I like to moan about a pretty decent world cup.
Nominee for the statler and waldorf award...
Which one is he?
Both of them...

FIFA and their scheduling of games in preposterous climate conditions:
- Any games in Manaus, ridiculous.
- Netherlands vs Mexico in Fortaleza at 1pm in 104F temperatures. Ruined a spectacle.
- F***ing water breaks. Changes the whole principle of the game. What is this? Basketball?
- ESPN using water breaks to show commercials.
Otherwise, a brilliant tournament.

What about revenue from tourism? What about exposure to all of these issues? What about the inspiration to young people who might otherwise end up in the drug wars and never make it out of the slums?
If the World Cup wasn't in Brazil, would you have even mention anything at all about the injustice in that country? Would it even have crossed your mind?
The be all and end all is not about the financial gain or loss. There is much more at stake when hosting an event like this. I accept your argument that it's costing a fortune that could otherwise have been spent elsewhere, but your inability to comprehend anything other than the most basic analysis and what you have read in newspapers is why your argument is flawed.
You say that I cannot understand anything other than the most basic analysis yet you do not provide any reasonable counter argument. Where is the evidence that shows what has been said in the articles I have mentioned isn't true or isn't significant?
I am not for one second saying that the World Cup shouldn't be in Brazil. I am saying that is most unfortunate and despicable that FIFA can go to Brazil and rape the country dry and then piss off, leaving behind a thank you envelope with 35 million dollars inside after lining their pockets with 4.5 BILLION dollars. This after asking Brazil to fork out FOURTEEN BILLION on hosting the tournament. With the massive rich-poor divide in Brazil and the abject poverty present, that is taking the fxxking piss. Look at the polls of the people who live there. How, for the love of God, is that ok??
These boots are what I hate most about this World Cup. I've learned to deal with all types of outrageous boots, but this is just taking the piss imo.
I think we can all agree that the worst thing about this world cup is that ITV are showing a lot of the games. I honestly think the fecking Disney channel would do a better job. I'd rather Mickey mouse present the show with his incomprehensible squeaking than the oaf that is Adrian Chiles.
The fact that the French and the Germans are still on for it, I want them gone as soons as possible.
