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?!
Portugal looking a bit like us with the space between midfield and attack
This version of Ronaldo is different level.
Sesko so slow to move the ball forwards then when they had 3 on 3.
Honestly, the two B’s are not playing well for Portugal. If Bruno and Bernardo are doing nothing, it’s difficult for Portugal to create chances.
Sesko looks alright
Just took a random 35 yard shot straight at the keeper when they were on a 3v4 counter
Tragic. Makes Fernando Santos stint look like total football
Hmm, C.Ronaldo would’ve scored those too, but Kane - the way he’s moving this tourney - wouldn’t even be in position to attempt to miss the shots C.Ron is.
it does. just not as much as he matters to himself.
His ball control looks very poor.
Of course it does. Right after his own performance.
How did he get the job. Has the most amazing trajectory when his career highlight is winning the FA cup whilst relegating Wigan.
Ronaldo and Portugal:
Slovenia is really not taking advantage of some of those counters, they'll be punished if they don't take those "chances".
Portugal is playing better logically and the stick here against CR it's a bit too much, he looks pretty involved and needs some players closer to him to intearct.

Exactly. It's painful to watch.
Shocker from Bruno this half
Not nearly enough for him to sacrifice himself for the team in any way, no.
Im really warming up to the idea of us signing Palhinha.
With the ball he is limited, but against the ball i really, really like him, great tacklings, good positioning and decision making.
He reminds me of Javi Martinez.

Slovenia have pulled themselves together admirably over this first half.
They are creating chances with their crosses. A younger Ronaldo would have headed in two or three by now.
Beautiful player to watch.
Damnit. So closee
France-Portugal will be the epitome of Joga Bonito.
He scored some goals in Austrian 2nd division on loan and people went crazy because he's a 6'5'' striker and part of the Red Bull system.
They're doing a decent job on Bruno to be fair to them .
I've always been a fan of Palhinha and have no idea he's only playing for Fulham.
That was close there from Palinha. Its kind of what happens when someone other than number 7 takes a shot nowadays.
really close from Palinha, and the Slovenian defense were really close to comitt a penalty against Leao
Pepe and Ronaldo looked better and fought more than Fernandes and Silva.
No idea. It was a total surprise for everyone. Mendes probably had some influence. That's why Martinez keeps calling players from his carrousel of players.
Bruno 7 successful passes out of 13 attempts so far. Yikes. Not the best half
Didn't these guys lose to England last night
Portugal can’t keep indulging C.Ronaldo. He’ll actually get them knocked out at this rate.
I’ve been in lauding Sesko on my potential transfer wish list for a while now, and I’m finally ready to admit that I’d never watched him play properly. Because based on this tournament so far, I wouldn’t have him anywhere near it. 
A good lesson to actually watch a lot of games from a player before pushing for his signing, because I’m sure he’s nowhere near as good as his reputation suggests, but also nowhere near as bad as this tournament makes him seem.

This pitch is truly embarrassing.
That half seemed to have flew by
Portugal have been so disappointing.
