In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik (@Rood) and Jamie (@Vault Dweller) are here to talk about United's dreadful home defeat at the hands of Big Ange's Tottenham Hotspur. Should this have been the end of Ten Hag? How long does he actually have left? And does Nik finally want ETH out?!
Teams just going for a draw if it benefits both teams happend before this format too. It is not new.
What’s the solution?
Love to see Austria in the semi-final. Toe they have looked the best team in the tournament after Spain.
So does this mean England are playing Holland?
Has happened in every format going
I'm hoping the next games are actually interesting. Georgia needs to win and Portugal will probably play with the second team so that might be interesting.
Turkey only needs a draw but Czechia needs to win that game to get to the KO stage.

Whack 8 more teams in there
Czech must not beat Turkey.
Old system could have a team with 6 pts go out because they finished 3rd
Can't decide which team is worse - Belgium or England.
No that depends on the later results.
So no Belgium for NL. We can only not play England if Georgia and Turkey both win, right? Then it's Romania? I hate needing a PhD in statistics to just understand these Euros.
Turkey and Czechia will just play out a draw
Like we’re any better
They don’t need to fear us you mean.Think Turkey Czechs will be a decent watch
Austria please. If they continue playing like they did so far it would be totally deserved.
Nobody forced Ukraine to lose to fecking Romania by 3 or missing all of their chances today. It was easy group, the fault is in the mirror not system.
Yes unless Czechia beat Türkiye, then England play Slovakia.
Belgium don't need to fear England. They are shit.
Holy shit we are winning the Euros again
Austria, Romania, Turkey or Slovenia likely to be in the semi-finals by the looks of it. These things never turn out like you expect.

Czechia go out if they do that
Why? Czech need a win don’t they.
Terrible way to go out
Top 2 teams go through.
You're less likely to get teams playing for a draw as Slovakia would have needed a win today.
Who’s in their side of the draw?
One of Italy/England are definitely going to be back in the final.
England, Netherlands(most likely), Switzerland, Italy.
Why does Cristiano demand to start against Georgia..
Could always of considered not finishing bottom of a poor group.
Basically the same, that's probably why they played to a draw a few months ago.
Like we’re any better
Come on England does have the talent even if Gareth is stumbling upon it. Belgium don't look very talented or very well coached. England will win if the two meet.
Remove 8 teams
So you end up with a round of 12 after the group stage. Brilliant.
Well obviously not. Adjust the number of teams in the tournament accordingly.
Everyone’s tired and these new structure that allowed a third place team to squeak by doesn’t help.
CL i can agree i don’t remember a game that comes to mind. For me it’ll always be inter Milan vs Barcelona and then of course inter vs Munich to win the CL that i can’t remember better games than those.
That was so weird. Lukaku had no one on him
It should never work that way though. You should watch how they do throughout the year. The whole euro cup/ World Cup purchases are ridiculous
Ball was too close to him when he took the shot. What a shame. Belgium didn’t deserve anything.
Did anyone notice how Ronaldo celebrated his pass to Bruno like a goal?
Belgium can theoretically be saved if someone manages to hack into the VAR system and prevent Lukaku's goals from being overturned.
There's no saving England from the scourge of Southgate.
Love your optimism mate. We couldn’t score past Slovenia so what makes you think we could score against Belgium?
What's the point of such arguments? Every game is a new game with new chances.
So England want the Czech's to win?
