Decent first move by Spain, o’Hara was brave AF there.

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.
It’s a foul but she’s offside.
EDIT. Ok, well she looked it to me

Penalty to USA. Rapinoe to take. Scores. 1-0.
Well duh. Could be a short match this 
I'm having a hard time seeing who will be able to stop this US team. Only team where I sometimes feel I'm watching a men's team.. And that's a compliment.
I know USA are good but this commentary is nauseating
What the feck ? That's absolutely brainless from the US.
Spain have scored. 
As I say that Spain make them eat shit
First decent team and 1-1 it is .
Spain!!
1-1
1-1
Nice.
Mapi León ,the CB is terrible.
so obvious and naive penalty
I already didn't like against SouthAfrica

Game on. Spain playing well, so far.
Mental ball! Awful finish!
That was a glorious pass but a very sad shot.
The insistence of USA to play out from the back is so inviting for Spain.
They do seem very unsure when put under pressure.
Spain playing too high up the pitch here and they can't deal with Heath. Terrified to tackle her in the box.
England, actually. I think England will make short work of Norway - last night was a professional performance. The US desperately needed a tough challenge and Spain is providing that. France won’t be pushover at home, but England v USA in a semi will be a brutal affair.
France will be a 10x harder game than England would be. England aren’t near the US level.
That’s my point in some ways, US will have to knock out the hosts, and I think England might comfortably knock off Norway, against popular opinion.
Diego Costa would've been send of for that.
That’s one of the harshest booking I’ve ever seen
That's a very Spanish booking Rapinoe got. Welcome to playing against Spain.
Looked like an accidental little slap to the face. She made a real meal of it.
This is terrible
For those talking about the US being in a class of their own, I think Spain is showing that to be an exaggeration.
Diego Costa would have been sent of for just entering the field (and rightly so).
Great half from Spain. They're winning the battles on the flanks on both offense and defense, but haven't offered much goal threat so far. U.S. is trying to do too much every time they get it, and the Spain goal really took the wind out of their sails. Combine that with the egregious booking for Rapinoe, and Spain is clearly winning the mental battle right now. This should hopefully set us up for a very entertaining second half.
Some people are born on a Yellow.
That was a really entertaining half of football played in the right way.
Marta is absolutely nuts 
I was certainly expecting US to face tougher games this World Cup and so far this is one of them. I feel the standard of the western European teams has gone up so this is a good test against Spain.
Reminds me of a lad at my high school who would get sent out of the classroom as soon as our Chemistry teacher walked. Like she would tell him: “You’re going to do something that warrants me sending you out sooner rather than later anyway “
USA looking clueless here.
The Spanish right back has been getting the better of Rapinoe this match
Cards should be getting shown soon, loads of niggly fouls now
That was a foul for me.
Not sure England will beat Norway and can't see them getting past USA (based on games to date).I
France USA is the game I want to see.
