I wonder if some of these players are even sadder knowing that their likely only World Cup they'll play at will now be the one in the football mad country that is Qatar.

In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik (@Rood) is joined by CEO Duncan Drasdo and Financial Director Andy Green from the Manchester United Supporters Trust for a special episode on all things behind the scenes at Old Trafford including a brief history of MUST and their aims today, views on INEOS and Sir Jim Ratcliffe so far, and the Old Trafford regeneration.
He was good. Covered space well and won most headers/tackles. It's easy to compliment the performance but on the flip side we were defending very compactly so there wasn't really much space to exploit. It's obviously different when the opposition has more space but yeah.. Let's give this one to the lad, well played.
Did you forget Spain, Brazil, Argentina and even Croatia and Belgium?
I would like to take this opportunity to thank Hugo Lloris, this wouldn't be possible without you.
Well in sweden...
Not at all. Croatia are probably going to be the real winners in the summer. Lolz
I like you, but you should stop drinking..
Donnarumma, florenzi, rugani/caldara, romagnoli, spinazzola, jorginho/diawara, verratti, pellegrini/barella, insigne, belotti, bernardeschi
It's not a bad team going forward
All potentially very good players but no real world class player there at the moment. The next manager will be key, it needs to be someone who is innovative and just hide behind the 3-5-2
A World Cup without Italy, dont think thats happened in my lifetime ?
So great to be in it now. With a decent group we can get to round of 16 and then you never know. Can be a great world cup run as well although squad depth and tired legs will likely punish us in a tournament.
First time since 1958, a commentator said.
It depends. Were you on Earth in the 50s?
Unless you were around in 1958, guess not...
1958. They had the 3rd longest streak after Brazil and Germany I guess?
For sure, though most can get there
They only missed 2 WCs and this is the third one. Insane.
A world cup without the Dutch and the Italians..
How shite is that Sweden brings feck all to the party. Gutted for football tonight.

Football is crazy.
Morocco will replace Italy next summer! LoL
Morocco will replace Italy next summer! LoL
Italy brings fecks all too tbh.
Its not like if everybody warned Sweden was the hardest non seeded team for Italy to face...
The dutch even less nowadays
They should've done their jobs and qualified then. Sucks for them.
Leave the guy to talk ffs. He knows what is he talking. I like him.
They are the only team to play in every World Cup, if my WC memory is correct.
Sweden deserves this after...
2014: Germany in group, Portugal in PO
2018: France and Netherlands in group, Italy in PO
2014: Germany in group, Portugal in PO
2018: France and Netherlands in group, Italy in PO
They are the only ones to qualify for every WC were they decided to participate.
Germany didn't enter in '30 and were banned in '50. You're right that Brazil played every WC.
He got to three finals. There's something admirable about sticking it out with one team and not jumping to another club just to get a medal that's alluded you. Like if Gerrard had signed for Chelsea or City it would have been chickenshit imo.
Except neither Italy nor the Netherlands could get past Sweden. So right now Swedish > Italians and the Netherlandstinians.
Jepp no luck with the draw. So great to be in it. Also hope Lindelöf get a big confidence boost from this and step up for us as well!
Tournament, 12 years after 2006. We would have gone to the final man
Oh who am i kidding. With that guy on the bench we would have showed up in Russia half dead and gone out in the group stages in ignominy
Some French offensive players won't be invited to play the next WC like Benzema and Gameiro.
They would have been great assets for them
Italy were never a free attacking team but that line up they put out there felt like they were the ones playing for a 0-0 draw instead of needing to score. The manager is going to get a shit ton of abuse for it.
Please, those 4 reached a UCL final 5 months ago..
Germany qualified for every WC were they participated as well.
