Greece, ROI, Northern Ireland, Sweden, only Sweden can cause you trouble imo.

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.
Could work. Stam-Rijkaard-Koeman-Krol-Davids-Neeskens-Robben-Gullit-Cruyff-Marco
No Ireland. First, they are tricky for us, second, i want them in the WC. Same thing for NI. I'd like sweden to go too. So it has to be Greece
Rensenbrink? Great winger.
Exactly.
Not as good as Robben or Gullit, Neeskens is one of their 5 greatest players ever
The football may not be entertaining but it's well organized and gets results. Can't argue with that.
Sweden definitely overachieved in this group, hopefully we'll get either Croatia or Switzerland in the playoffs.
Sorry to see the Netherlands miss out on a place in Russia. Had Blind been sacked earlier or not appointed at all, they might have made it.
National teams aren't teams, they're collections of players. Tactical organzation, especially defensive organization, makes a huge difference. Much bigger than at club level
Yep.
I would like Ireland or Northern Ireland for Italy to be honest, the more different from our current system and environment the better. Sweden are sly enough to mimick our system and exploit our weaknesses, while Greece may definitely sink us if their home game goes their way. That said, it will mainly depend on our Juve veterans, just keep Ventura out and let the most familiar with knockout rounds dictate tactics, approach and selection.
They're as biased it can get. I know supporting a team means you cannot expect 100% objectivity but sometimes some common sense and honesty never hurts. Lizarazu is a joke for me.
I did it off the top of my head and knew I was missing someone when I posted it. Neeskens would have to be in there - probably for De Boer. It would never really be a back 5 with the way the Dutch would move in that formation. Koeman, Suurbier and Krol would spend as much time in midfield or further upfield as they would defending.
Does Ventura have magic hands to take Greece? Maybe he should give a call to Santos, he worked there
It just occurred to me that France haven't won a tournament for a long while eh? 2000 was the last time? Since then they've been in 2 finals and knocked out rather quickly in other tournaments.
If this current generation couldn't win a tournament it'll be criminal.
I actually don't like it but have to say he makes his teams hard to beat if not atractive, well at least Madonna was in the stadium
Doesn't matter what Sventura does if we get greece honestly. If we don't beat them all the players should just retire from humanity. Go become hermit monks in tibet or somethingDoes Ventura have magic hands to take Greece? Maybe he should give a call to Santos, he worked there
Surely not worse than Rolland and Larque, "Oh putain" lol.
Sweden can be dangerous in 2 matches, they improved a lot under this manager, clearly the strongest non seeded team for Italy.
Only Sweden can be dangerous for your team, the other 3 are doable in 2 matches, unless there is red cards or something like that.
TF1 only broadcast the national team now, right? I am ok to be for France during a game, but sometimes, it was just too dumb to be said on TV. And I will always remember the stupid comments when playing a "small" team.
Ireland will beat any of ye
All 4 should be doable, let's not joke here. We're way better than those 4. If we don't qualify it would be a failure of gargantuan proportions. Greece is just worse than the others but above all i don't care for them. The other 3 i'd like to see at the WC
Not worse but with them you could forgive them because they were old (and senile).
Robben's second goal was a fitting statement at the end of his Elftal career. What a player.
Come on, Rolland was fun. Now it's just dull and biased.
Yup I am always a cautious guy, looking at the individual quality Italy is favourite, even if I think Sweden can be dangerous, my problem is not so much the italian players, more Ventura who looks a downgrade to Conte.
Well as least the best player in the world will be at the World Cup now Portugal qualified.
My god how did Faroe, Latvia and Andorra all end up in the same group? I've got a hard time digesting that one of those was in pot 4 and another in pot 5. They should all have been in pot 6. No wonder 27 points wasn't enough for Switzerland.
Yes they are good enough to be tricky per se, Ventura's tinkering and injuries just stir the pot... The best team we can field one month from now is a 352 a la Conte... Buffon; Barzagli Bonucci Chiellini; Florenzi, Verratti, De Rossi, Marchisio, Darmian; Belotti, Immobile.
What a strike that was.
What I do, if it's available, I watch the match with arabic commentary on BeIn. Tonight I didn't have a choice, I remember why I don't miss TF1. They were creating a fake tension in order to make France's win appear bigger than it really is. It was funny.
Reminded me of RVP's first goal for United, albeit from further out.
One of the best attacking players from the last 10 years. Managed to stay worldclass over that whole period too. Who else could say that besides those two "freaks" who play in Spain.
But what has Portugals qualification got to do with Kane being at the World Cup
But what has Portugals qualification got to do with Kane being at the World Cup
Has to be playing for Madrid or Barcelona first apparentaly before he can be classed as that
