And they did not even bust too much energy against Brazil in the end. Resting their best CB eve after the first half!

- Thread starter gooDevil
- Start date

In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik (@Rood) and Imran (@Annihilate Now!) look forward to a new life under Ruben Amorim. What system will we be playing? What players will impress? and how will it all go? We also say goodbye to Ruud Van Nistelrooy and review United's 3-0 win at home against Leicester City.
I can't see why that would be the case. RVP was feeding off scraps all night and didn't really hold the ball up that well when it came in to him. Not to mention the fact that he wasn't fully fit.
A team never won 2 penaty shootouts in one tournament, right?
Argentina did in '90.
I'm rooting for the Netherlands.
Holland to win this in penalties. Cillessen will make at least two saves.
I have a feeling Holland will win. Argentina seem to look a bit sorry for themselves and hollands body language looks better imo.
Mascherano head and shoulders the man of the match.
Romero is such a shithouse he will pull a Goycochea here.
Years after leaving Liverpool Kuyt is still pissing me off..
Quite simply one of the worst games I have ever seen. Especially with all the potential talent out there. This game is typical of world cups these days. The group stages are the best bit. Most of the others are stalemates.
Argentina to win this....No doubt
Maradona would had to match his club achievements too. that's what pinnacle of football is today, club football.
Argentina won 2 in 1990A team never won 2 penaty shootouts in one tournament, right?
Once again Messi does nothing.
Finally. Some excitement to be had after an absolutely shambolic game.
Vlaar for me.
True, although Vlaar was very good as well.
Once again .............................?
Think Argentina will win this but would love Holland to do it
Really wanted to see attacking football but we never got it
Such a shame this game has to be decided on pens

Huntelaar didn't fare much better. Should've left him on (if they lose on penalties of course).
This'll probably end up being boring as well.
Maybe among RedCafe. Not the rest of the world though.
Please Argies, don't feck this up!!
Messi is not as good as he was 2-3 years ago. He's also not as good of a dribbler as he was in his younger years.
Cillessen is supposed to be bad at pens, yes, but come on, Romero certainly isn't a goalie god!? 
Argentina to win.
I think they will, whoever it is. They're just a much better team then either of these two.
Cillessen has never saved a penalty.
Sorry but Messi has been dreadful today and let himself down. Lazy and doesn't deserve to win the cup
Centre back? Noooo
I can't imagine the pressure these guys must be under.
I don't particular care who wins and even then I'm shitting it.

vlaar? seriously?
He'll miss
Ron Vlaar?
Thats a miss then.
Thats a miss then.
What? Vlaar?
You could see it coming. Immense all match and then heartbreak as he misses a penalty, so gutting.
Vlaar....
Well that started well. Why Vlaar ?
Poor Vlaar.
Feck sake.
