    Still missing two, unless John Obi Mikel’s brief signing counts...

    Edit: forgot Falcao scores.

    Jaysus forgot welbeck was even there

    Serbia were at the WC Tosic wasn't in the squad.


    Ljajic was if he counts? As much of a career here as Mikel

    Name 13 players past & present to have pulled on the United jersey to not score in this WC

    Erm.... Nah. Way too much effort to think that one through!


  • Posts: 7,639 ✭✭✭ [Deleted User]


    So it turned out that there were 11 past and present United players to score at the WC once Pogba made it 3-1 just after I made the post.

    The 11: Pogba, Fellaini, Lukaku, Rojo, Lingard, Hernandez, Ronaldo, Kagawa, Di Maria, Falcao, Januzaj.
    Hmmm
    Fellaini, Rom, Lingard, Rojo, Di maria, Falcao, Pogba, Ronaldo... Kagawa maybe?

    One short (possibly two if Kagawa didn't score)

    Edited to add: Januzaj!

    An edit with Januzaj plus a guess with Kagawa...hmm, is this winner material?!

    Ok caviardreams, what charity is about to get a €5 windfall?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,731 ✭✭✭caviardreams


    Ah you can choose Stu! I missed Chicharito so it wasn't fully complete anyway :D

    Sorry little pea, how could I forget you :(

    Is Pogba the first ever Utd player to score in a World Cup final ? Can't think of any others...

    Without Rom and Rashers it's a good opportunity for Martial.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 27,900 ✭✭✭✭pjohnson


    Didn't think Romero would make it! Nice suprise.

    It's new age teams and footballers I feel the same about celebrations but thats just how it is.

    As far as France I think they deserved to win I think this thing about entertaining football is a new thing now because of city and all but fact are France played the best football no other team got better abd better the whole way through the world cup the Brazilians played terrible football no team was exciting.

    I would rather seen Belgium or even Croatia win it.

    No love for likes Hazard and his creed but I enjoyed Belgium games and same with Croatia.

    France got job done that was it. There best players where defensive mostly.

    Very good world cup but the lack of big teams there or performing in general was a big pitty.

    I can remember Giggs Ince and Sharpe going through rediculous celebrations too. It's not a new thing at all. Seeing grown men play out a routine they obviously rehearsed is fairly laughable to be fair though
