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.
France vs Netherlands:
France: Lloris; Sidibé, Koscielny, Umtiti, Kurzawa; Coman, Pogba, Kanté, Lemar; Giroud, Griezmann
Netherlands: Cillessen; Fosu Mensah, De Vrij, Hoedt, Blind; Strootman, Sneijder, Wijnaldum; Promes, Janssen, Robben.

Rather interestingly, Eden Hazard retains his captaincy of Belgium against Gibraltar, even with Vincent Kompany in the team.

Wow, those are two interesting teams. Coman starts and both Dutch full-backs are United players.
With Netherlands not really having a guaranteed RB at all, this really is Fosu-Mensah's chance to make a real impression.
Vincent Janssen starting for Holland. Unbelievable, Jeff.
van Basten -> van Nistelrooy -> van Persie -> Janssen.
Where have the good van's gone?

Where's Depay for the Dutch?

Today:
Last chance for Holland today. France's line-up looks so strong though.

Jesus, that's like being rebuffed by the ugliest girl in the class or Arsenal. Oh how the mighty have fallen.
Nice to see Fosu starting. Will be a tough test for him against a very good France side, but I'm sure he'll do well.
No Fellaini in the Belgium squad. Is he injured? Can't seem to find any information.

Hazard is back for Belgium.
Three United players starting, hoping for a good game .

On Sky too!
2 Arsenal players as well. It's the only thing who gives me a smile about us atmThree United players starting, hoping for a good game
Interesting game for us from Sweden. Trick game against Bulgaria and Victor starts. A win for us and a draw between France and Netherlands will be fantastic. Then we will even have a good chance to even win the group and should be able to finish above the dutch side . Fosu Mensah and Blind both start for Holland. Pogba start for France as expected. Shame both games are at the same time so you can't watch them both.
What? No one is watching the classic Portugal vs Faroe Islands? Outrageous
Could a mod merge the threads? https://www.redcafe.net/threads/world-cup-qualifiers.432067/

In total 4 current United players start. 3 starters for us so hopefully no injuries to any of our players.
I am always late. Can some mods merge my thread with this one? Thanks

I am always late. I do apologize
It's a pity the state y'all are in, it was more fun in the old days when you were proper rivals.2 Arsenal players as well. It's the only thing who gives me a smile about us atm
What can i do mate? Just trying not to think too much about it.
Minor calf injury iirc. Was ruled out of the match two days ago I think.
Lol at the multiple posts! 
Big win for Uganda. Egypt are in trouble.
Yep, would be incredible for Egypt to miss out again.
I'm seeing sixtuple!
Because i opened a similar thread and didn't see it so they merged the two
Couldn't find any news on it. Thanks, mate.
Belgium and Portugal will probably put at least 5 goals past their opponents tonight.
France vs Holland and Bulgaria vs Sweden are the only interesting games.

I can't even imagine mate, kind of like extending our Moyes era over a decade. I feel like I have to clean my hands for even typing that.
They've only ever been to 2 WCs. Crazy.
Not sure why they'd want to miss Eliseu tearing Faroe Islands apart but to each their own
well TFM better be careful with Paul tho!!
Last season I was mesmerized by Bernardo Silva-1st Mpabbe-2nd that Lesmar's play went totally over my head.
I cant recall seeing massive pace on the left outside of Mendy's pace and power.

Nice, easy introduction to international football for Timbo, then.
What a goal by Ronaldo. It was funny he scored after that dirty tackle by the Faroe islands player.
Ronaldo scores an amazing scissor kick goal in the 2nd minute
