Not arguable, they're far better now.

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.
Ronaldo, Dias, Fernandes
Mbappé at 22 is better than Henry at 22, but I'm talking about peak Mbappé vs peak Henry.
Mbappé isn't at his peak yet, he is 22, wait until he is 25 at least to compare with Henry whole career.
Oliver was just outside the area and the foul was just a couple of yards in with almost all the other players BEHIND that.
So his view wasn't bad
Ronaldo, Dias, Fernandes
Solid spine.
Bein better on paper doesn't match the results often.
Wasn't Portugal ultra favorite to win Euro 2004, and then lost the final to Greece?
I think Figo worth as much as the whole Greece starting line-up, or even more probably.
Arguably? This squad is a lot better.
We played the likes of Vieirinha, Eder and semiretired Ricardo Carvalho and Bruno Alves in 2016
Nani was one of the players of the tournament after being average in Turkey that entire year, it was a miracle
Let’s see what the second match brings forward.
Enforced with bloody titanium
Oh yes well obviously. There's a surprising amount of people that don't take a player's age into account when making their proclamations about how they'll never be as good as X,Y,Z.
What an outstanding result, absolutely miraculous.
Now, on the one hand, France had more than enough chances to win the game so we must be happy with a draw. Especially considering the massive gulf in quality.
On the other hand, a fecking stupid route one goal by the effing world champions, after conceding from double deflections against the Euro champions... it rankles a bit.
But still, this has been fecking incredible. Even if we get destroyed in München.

A 0-0.
Age doesnt matter that much. Progress isnt linear
Age doesn't meant they will end up doing that either. Too many people also assume potential guarantees success. I think that's more prevalent actually.
Surely Germany can't get kicked out group stages...
Wouldn't be the first time. Germany's Euro record since 1972:
Group stages: 3 times
Semis: 3 times
Runner-up: 3 times
Winner: 3 times
So top or flop really.
Neville having a pop at Bruno. Slagged the new kit off earlier too. Does he say anything remotely fecking positive these days?
About United? Nope.
Low still persisting with the wrong lineup. Hope Portugal crush them on the counter tbh. For some reason in international football I want dumb coaches decisions to be punished more than usual. I'd genuinely like Germany to do quite well, but I don't think it'll happen until they go and just try and copy Bayern's selections which would involve dropping Kroos and Gundogan.
Let's make Ronaldo lose the 5th time in a row against us in a tournament.
Auf geht's Deutschland!
Auf geht's Deutschland!
Well it matters in that a 22yr old isn't at their peak and it's unfair to compare a 22yr old to an elite striker at their peak.
Poor germany team, hobbled by lows rubbish tactics. Expect portugal to win.
Just start, werner, sane, gnarby and havertz. Thats a young, fast and fearsome forward line. But will low do that? No.

I don't disagree but I'll never I'll write off a young player as there is the potential for improvement.
Löw always looks like he's up to no good. Dirty sod.
Can't view the clip. Tbh I'm happy it wasn't a pen. Makes the group more interesting and I love Budapest.
I really really want Bruno to do well so that he's happy. Want Gnabry to do well for Fantasy sake
2-2 would be nice
2-2 would be nice
Why is Lowe and the other German dressed exactly the same again. It's weird.
The kit is absolute garbage, to be fair.
Commentator on RTE said if Germany were looking for good omens they've never lost to a Portuguese side containing Cristiano Ronaldo.
Surely that's a bad omen as its bound to end at some point?

Neville doesn't like the fact Bruno's animated.
That's not how omens work, though.
Vamos!
Don't do anything stupid Mr Taylor.
Don't do anything stupid Mr Taylor.
Come on Germany.
It's an amazing record though.
No wonder Germany has the most points/matches won in the Euro, also the second best team at WCs all time table only surpassed by Brazil.
Oh oh you're in trouble, Anthony Taylor always panders to the home crowd
I'd have him over Henry at his peak. These people are crazy, if you don't score you suck. He's got these teams on the ropes, when the goals start raining in tunes will be changed.
Hopefully a record Ronaldo would like to break today
He scored 42 this season, to be fair
GOOOL Deutschland!!
