Good afternoon, UWS. Looking forward to chatting with you in this big match.
United's starting line up isn't exactly top notch
Romero, Fosu-Mensah, Bailly, Jones,Darmian, Carrick, Fellaini, Pereira, Martial, Lingard an Rashford
Subs
De Gea, Pereira, Blind, Lidelof, Mitchell, Smalling, Tuanzebe, Valencia, Herrera, McTominay, Mhiki, Pogba, and Lukaku
United have a strong squad!
Welcome MUR
Did you have a great time on Thursday?
Come on ESPN... get to the match
Thank you. Yes. It was the experience of a lifetime. A fantastic time.
Luke Shaw, Ashley Young and Rojo will miss the start of the season even tho all three of them are on the tour
Shaw to return in Sept from foot injury
Young in Oct from a hammy
Rojo not until Dec with his knee injury
Decent commentary team tonight
Champion and Burley... wonder if ESPN got a lot of complaints
A decent commentary team of Craig Burley and Jon Champion. There must have been a fair number of complaints about the chitter chatter on Monday.
So glad to hear you had a great time. Who did you go with?
I'm surprised Young is still with United considering he is not that young. Jose may deal him in the January transfer window.
Ronaldo is bugger around in China at the moment... wonder why he's doing that
8 of CL winners are starting for Real
4 of EL winners are starting for United
We are off
Thank you. I went solo, but it was still a great time.
They're off from Santa Clara, CA.
Bailly phasing about in the back... almost let in Benzama
I saw the Dier goal against PSG last night
Stupidity to play the ball around in the back like that!!
Fellaini tries to pass to a teammate that stopped running... how did he not see that. I saw it
United get a luck corner
Great pressing by United as Nacho concedes a cheap corner to United/
Jose will be keen to get a win against some old mates.
I don't want Martial to leave OT
He had a chance to take players on... passed it off.. United failed to attack
I have been pleased how fast United have attack on this tour. I don't want them to sit back because it is Mardid
De Gea does well to punch away the ball from a cross from Benzama. The only problem is that he punched Phil Jones at the same time.
Jones and Romero bump into each other but United survive
Great change of pace by Rashford...defender plays the man and not ball but gets away with it
He punched Monkey Boy as well.
Agreed. it's been a good start by United as it was Thursday in Houston. Hopefullly,they will play that way this season.
Nice by Martial... great shot... well saved
Useless corner follows..doesn't meet the first man
Kaylor Navas, playing for Real instead of Ticos, does well to push away a long range effort karate chopped at him./
Poor clearance by Hair Bear after United did well to stop a tricky run by Carbajal.
Too close there from Jones for me
so calm but a goal could be given away
These two play in 16 days time for the Super Cup... It would be great to start the season with that trophy
I just remembered that United and Real meet two weeks from Tuesday in the UEFA Super Cup in Macedonia.
Absolutely. I couldn't agree more.
United face Barca on Wednesday. Talk about a competitive pre-season schedule.
Wonder if Steve is going to see United vs Barca on Wednesday?
Even though he is not a United fan , it 's too big a match to skip.
Chicha joined the Hammers. He'll make his Hammers debut against none other than United.,
United did well to swarm Benzama after a nice pass from Isco.
Game hasn't got much to comment about at the minute
Monkey was halfway to L.A. off that through ball from Marcello. I haven't seen a player that offside in ages.
Will the UEFA Super Cup be similar?
Burley complaining about the fans in the stands not watching the game... that is so true. The US fans are used to baseball and football when action isn't always happening
SUCH A WASTE not watching the match
Last season was the most boring United side to watch since LVG was in charge.
Stop just passing it about in the back... ATTACK
They haven't been doing it up to now over here
Don't be scared of Madrid
Agreed. It was the same in Houston.
Agreed. They need to stop being REAL conservative.
Oh dear... the Punmeister is back
Just too much passing by United... and not going ANYWHERE!!
GO FORWARD!!!!
Real face Citeh in L.A. on Wednesday. That should be quite a match.
Such a bad cross by Fellaini!!
Drinks break.
They should stop the clock... they don't tho
The break will last up to three minutes.... STOP THE CLOCK THEN
No. They don't There was a two minute water break in the match at Orlando , but only a minute of stoppage time. Isn't that faulty math?
Really bad
Play resumes.
I think the break lasted two minutes.
VERY disappointed so far
Just like against the other Real!
Benzama with a horrible attempt to win a free kick about 25 yards from goal.
Agreed. I don't think we could do much worse than against the other Real.
Some horrible music on the FM channel as Real win a free kick. The free kick is a Poor Kroos cross.
Yikes. The Galaxy have only one home win all season.
FM radio is way out of tune with that pass.
Nice clearance from Jones
OH!!!! Just wide by Lindy with a great long range effort, which is the closest United have come to scoring.,
Lingard misses the target... please make the keeper work
Take him on Marccus.... tries to go backwards!
Nice bit of trickery from Modric as his pass eluded the diving De Gea and it forced a last ditch clearance from Bailey.
A Real corner is real poor as it's headed away by the first man.
Will Ronaldo be ready for the Super Cup
Too busy going to China and court!
Three minutes of stoppage time.
YES!!!
GREAT RUN BY MARTIAL!!!
LINGARD TAPS IN
GOAL !!!! LINDY GIVES UNITED THE LEAD WITH A FAR POST TAP IN OFF A PASS THAT WAS KARATE CHOPPED TO HIM.
Also, credit to Hair Bear, who chested down a long goal kick from De Gea and fought to win the ball back after being tackled. He found the karate kid down the left and he beat hos defender before finding Lindy at the far post.
That attack started by Fellaini almost blowing it, falling down and probably fouling then passing as he was laying down
Ball in the net but called offside
HT
United one up at the half thanks to the stoppage time goal from Lindy.
I watched the brief interview with Skippy. He may decided to be a reality T.V. star in life after footie.
Multiple changes for Madrid...United still hiding in the dressing room
Fellaini stillon
DeGea, Blind, Smalling def on
Lukaku and Pogba on
Is Fellaini is the only one left
Both sides with massive substitutions as the second half is underway
Real have all reserves on
United need to punish them
Martial still on... should have cut that off
Stands empty... do you want to eat or watch the game!!!
It will be a busy Wednesday evening starting with United vs Barca at 7:30 PM and concluding with Citeh vs Real , which doesn't start until 11:35 PM your time. A tad late for the East Coast?
When is the Gold Cup final?
Isn't it Wednesday?
Teams need to go out and entertain!!!!!
Agreed. I got a halftime snack, but was back with several minutes to spare.
Oscar Rodriguez well wide with a long range effort for Real.
It is at 9:30 EST
In this stadium
Fortunately, I was on Thursday. I drove five hours to watch the match and paid good money, so yes we should be.
Herrera is hurt and is going to come off
Jose in conversation with referee, Kevin Scott after a challenge on Herrera.
The match on this ground will be the Gold Cup Final which does kick off at 9:30 PM EDT. After that is Citeh vs Real from L.A. which kicks off at 11:35 PM EDT.
Has Lukaku touched the ball
He coughed up possession a minute or two ago.
Stupid foul by United
McTominay...you can't just run thru someone
Free kick chance for Madrid
Pogba with a stupid foul on Casemiro just outside the United box.
The wall was about 5 yards away!
A real poor free kick into the United wall . Now United break with Miki.
Does that have anything to do with the conversation Jose had with the ref a few minutes ago.
Is it a case of McTomain poisoning?
Decent cross from Blind , but nobody could make that vital connection.
Somebody must have a s United were awarded a corner and Hair headed over off the corner from Miki.
A bit rash by Miki on Kovacic.
United are boring me again!!!!
A corner is karate chopped to United off a one two with Blind
The corner from Blind is headed away by the first man then Hair Bear is offside off a pass from McTomain poisoning.
Stupid foul by Lidelof...RIDICULOUS CHALLENGE
BUGGER !!! PENALTY REAL AS LINDELHOF IS CALLED FOR A RASH CHALLENGE.
1-1
GOAL 1-1 AS CASEMIRO THUMPS IN A TEXTBOOK PENALTY.
United haven't tried to attack... is this what is going to be like
BLOODY BORING
Kiko Casilla does well top rush out and gather off a nice through ball intended for McTomain poison.
This group has done nothing
Miki, Lukaku and Pogba have been invisible
Another foul by United.... these youngsters want it more
Smalling with a real stupid foul on a Real youngster just outside the United box.
Almost straight in... De Gea saves
De Gea nearly caught out at his near post as he pushes away the free kick for a corner.
Why is Fellaini still out there
United should be embarrassed with this second half display
These were supposed to be the starters!
The Chunk has been blowing chunks.
Who is Valencia going to come on for?
Fellaini? Move Blind to the middle
Drink break
The stadium is silent!!
The water break.
If they think it's hot in San Jose then come here to feel real heat.
Valencia on for Darmian
Valencia on for Darmian.
Play resumes.
USELESS BY POGPANTS
Bloody useless by Pogba
If this is tied at the end of regulation then it goes straight to penalties.
ON this tour
Good, Useless,Good, Useless...how will they play against Barca
We will play scared
Sounds about right. Steve can give us some first hand analysis.
Fellaini with a wide open chance.... ATROCIOUS
Then a stupid foul by him
How did Hair Bear miss that . Laid on a plate for him by McTomain poison and blats over from two yards out.
Oscar Rodriguez booked for fouling Miki on the break.
Fans want pens...United don't deserve them
Fans pleased that they don't have to endure an extra half hour of this dross.
Blind clears for a Real corner , not a fake one.
Pogba is just phaffing around out there
Blind had a yell at him
A trio of minutes of stoppage time.
So bloody pathetic
Penalties but I can't stay for them!!
Have a good rest of the match
SO ANNOYED
It's 1-1 at the end of stoppage time. This will be decided by spot kicks.
Cheers, UWS. Great chatting with you. Do you want updates?
Jose not staying for the penalty shootout.
BLOODY HELL! UNITED'S FIRST PENALTY WILDLY KARATE CHOPPED PRACTICALLY OUT OF THE STADIUM.
De Gea saves the penalty from Kovacic. Not a great penalty. Still 0-0
Casilla saves the penalty from McTomain Poisoning.
WOW !!!! De Gea with a great save from young Oscar Rodriguez as it was headed for the upper 90.
1-0 United Miki sends the keeper the wrong way, going for placement instead of power.
1-1 . De Gea got a hand to the penalty from Quesada , but palmed it in.
BLOODY HELL. LINDELOF STRAIGHT DOWN THE MIDDLE , ALMOST PASSED TO THE KEEPER.
Still 1-1 as Hernandez,one of the Real teens, shoots wide even though De Gea went the wrong way.
2-1 United as Blind shot down the middle, but the keeper went early the wrong way.
Off the bar and over by Casemiro as United win a farcical shootout 2-1.
That's it for me.
CHEERS!
