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.
Another for Holland.
Nice header, good goal.
It's all happening on set-pieces here. Italy offer absolutely nothing and keep giving away free-kicks, what do you expect?
Netherlands doing just enough again. Italy not able to do another game of game raising which is a shame. Not much of a match that one.
Very good second half. Though Italy were beyond terrible.
Anyone thinking this is anything other than a win to Germany?
I thought that after a toothless first half, Netherlands did more than enough in the secound half. Good play, chances, crossbars, and two goals. Italy impressed until the first goal, but then it was over.
No Germany look stronger all over the pitch.
Sweden are dangerous on the counter but Germany should win as long as they take their chances, they'll dominate the game fof sure.
Germany ahead.
Nice goal as well.
Sweden equalise. 1-1.
Poor defending there.
It was. Nice finish for Sweden as well.
clinical
A ball over the top and the Swedish players caught them on their heels.
Seems the Swedish attackers have a bit more pace than the German defenders as well. Going to be interesting to see how Sweden use this advantage.
I can accept waiting for the offside call on close decisions, but don't let the flag down on every offside please.
Germany left back fell asleep for Sweden’s goal and is making the wrong decision offensively half the time. That said she sees a lot of the ball, but it’s not been her evening.
Sweden ahead. Was there a foul.
Goal stands.
Germany is playing terrible, scared and not organised at all. They are in absolute shambles. Sweden deserve to win this no doubt. I have never seen a german side play without urgency like this.
What was the alleged foul? Bit earlier in the play than the replay showed I guess?
Think it was in the build up,I would presume it was how they got the ball in the first place, but as the commentators said the German's still had plenty of time after that to defend properly.
It was a clear cut foul, Germany should have had a free kick no question. But they still defended poorly as they have done the entire game.
Sweden cutting through the defence again, they look so fast on the break. Germany have had to scramble a few times.
Ouch, that looked like a painful one for the German forward. Was it offside before the possible penalty?

Now VAR checking for possible German penalty.
No penalty.
Way too many wasted chances
The German girl that just headed over now. Does anyone else think she kind of looks like Rooney?
Poor girl.
Germany out.
Well deserved victory for Sweden!
Well done Sweden. I'm chuffed about that. I didn't understand how Germany kept winning without really looking good at anything in the earlier rounds - looks like reality caught up with them.
So England v USA and Netherlands v Sweden. What were the odds of that lineup!
Netherlands and Sweden also qualify for the Olympics, England qualified for the Olympics on behalf of GB (even though Scotland objected

)Really enjoyed that game. That was probably the best of the quarter finals for me.
Didn’t hurt that I won £190 mind.
