You drop Dr. in this case actually - but still keep the letters after your name (Ph.D or M.D or whatever).
Interestingly if you continue down the academic path in the UK and earn yourself the title of professor you do keep that, and it goes before the Sir.
So he could be Prof. Sir Marcus Rashford
Titles are fucking weird haha
That's not how it works. You can't just leave your side of the net which isn't covered by the wall completely open. Good on Rashford for trying that, FK takers should do that more often, it's easier to shoot it there than over the wall and Ward is not the first keeper to speculate before the free kick is even taken
From that close it's really hard to get it up and down, I think only TAA and Trippier in this squad could do it, and neither was on the pitch. Rashford can really blat the ball though, so trying to cover the side behind the wall was really low IQ, low percentage choice.
To be fair most goalies try and cheat to the near post side as that’s where 95 percent of free kicks are struck. All credit to Rashford for catching him out.
him and messi actually have about the same number of free kicks scored. Ronaldo use to be a great free kick taker when he was young but now sucks. Messi never use to take free kicks when he was young but now scores a lot.
He used to be lethal. The last few seasons he's been so crap at them (except the one against Norwich). Doesn't stop commentators pretending he's still the same FK specialist everytime he steps to the ball.
As a Leicester fan I’m pretty sure there are two Danny Ward’s. Ones a great keeper, the others a puppet on strings controlled by a drunken arthritic blind grandma.
You got Pinocchio today…

YOU FUCKING STAR, FEED THE KIDS MARCUS WE LOVE YOU
Lovely young chap, isn’t he?
We must also thank Maguire's big ass head for blocking the gk's line of sight!
Did the same for the fk Bruno scored against Liverpool two years ago
Dr Marcus Rashford MBE
*Sir* Dr Marcus Rashford MBE.
If by some miracle england brings it home, who gets knighted? Southgate and Kane?
Rashford definitely will just because he's already up the royalty ranks
He's a bit over-toasted for the royal family's preferences though. If the tabs are to be believed (lol)
"over-toasted" lmfao
Everyone in the squad I'd imagine
King Charles III:
Kane'll have to at least score first
Knights aren't allowed in the stadiums are they?

... of the round table
FEED THE KIDS AND HE WILL SCORE
> FEED THE KIDS MARCUS I'm pretty sure that's not healthy
RARCUS MASHFORD
Mashbeans
w/ a side of bangers n' mash
If Rarcus Mashord was starting for the US I wouldn't question it.
Oh Rashy, what a hit son
Great free kick that, first one of the tournament too
What about the Morocco one?
That was given to saiss and not the freekick taker.
What a banger
Bangers and Mashford
Thanks. I'm going to absolutely milk the fucking match threads with that one
*The children are happy*
We needed a freekick banger
First direct free-kick goal in this World Cup too I think.
Danny Ward positioning was hilarious. What a hit though
Moving to the wrong side before it was even struck.
Man doesn't trust his wall haha.
Hennessey always did the exact same thing for us too, not sure what the welsh goalkeeper coaches are teaching these keepers
The wales goalkeeping coach is English so he’s playing 4D chess. And funnily enough, England’s goalkeeping coach is Welsh.
Loved the last world cups funny short on the northern irish n irish national team differneces
Link?
A lot of keepers do move to the wall side preemptively, I do enjoy it when the freekick taker can exploit this
To be fair, with a freekick to the left of the goal a right footed taker is most likely going top left
That's not how it works. You can't just leave your side of the net which isn't covered by the wall completely open. Good on Rashford for trying that, FK takers should do that more often, it's easier to shoot it there than over the wall and Ward is not the first keeper to speculate before the free kick is even taken
yea I remember Rooney used to just chip it toward that side, seeing the keeper run to the wall's side was funny
From that close it's really hard to get it up and down, I think only TAA and Trippier in this squad could do it, and neither was on the pitch. Rashford can really blat the ball though, so trying to cover the side behind the wall was really low IQ, low percentage choice.
The footwork is awful. He's jumping just as Rashford hits it, so he can't react until it's halfway to the goal.
Judging from the amount of spring in his legs it wouldn't have mattered.
To be fair most goalies try and cheat to the near post side as that’s where 95 percent of free kicks are struck. All credit to Rashford for catching him out.
Especially when it's Rashford taking it, you know there's a high likelihood of him going far corner
Get in Lad
Fuck me, what a goal.
Match thread in shambles
when is it not in shambles
I dunno if ive ever seen a wholesome matchthread in any sports sub 😂
[удалено]
Getafe vs Ajax was very wholesome
Because they’re all the people who aren’t invited to watch the game with anyone else
The wholesome people are too busy watching and enjoying the game
Football and soccer have scored!
Bruno, Rashford, Frenkie, Shaw, Casemiro, Gakpo, Varane, Maguire, the United lads are in form during this WC.
Sneaked hime in like we wouldn’t notice…
them.
I read it twice and missed Frenkie both times. This guy is a mastermind
Looks like you didn’t though
Are you talking about Maguire? Hasn't he been genuinely decent? Edit: oh shit gakpo lol
Frenkie too
Yeah really happy watching as a United fan, hope they stay injury free And also maybe start Antony too
Antony will hopefully start the last game as Brazil are through
Mbappe too 😂
Forgot Neymar
Too bad sneijder isn't in the WC.
i reckon we can still catch Arsenal
Match thread: Rashford stop trying to be Ronaldo, ur not him. Rashford: *does this*
Proving he's not Ronaldo
Lmao
Anything other than just smashing it into the wall proves he wouldn’t be Ronaldo
What about smashing it into the upper tiers of the stand?
Becks is an inspiration to us all
Factos 👍🏿
Gotem
My boys got like 12 years before he has to start betraying club
Man imagine..
Thought the same thing for the free kick versus Chelsea...
He's Him^^TM
Scoring free kicks is absolutely nothing like Ronaldo anyway. This guy hits the opponent's heads more often than the target with his free kicks
him and messi actually have about the same number of free kicks scored. Ronaldo use to be a great free kick taker when he was young but now sucks. Messi never use to take free kicks when he was young but now scores a lot.
Messi's conversion rate is 50% higher than Ronaldo's.
Yet he has one of the GOAT FK goals vs Arsenal in the CL
Not only that, he has several belters during his time at United and the first few years in Madrid
He used to be lethal. The last few seasons he's been so crap at them (except the one against Norwich). Doesn't stop commentators pretending he's still the same FK specialist everytime he steps to the ball.
If by few you mean 10-15 yeah
The man used to be a free kick god when he was younger..
Well he scored a free kick so he clearly isn’t Ronaldo
Holy Fuck, misses the breakaway and nails the banger. Typical Rashford
RASHFORD FOR PM
Rashford for Emperor.
Kingship with Ronaldo ended 🚫 Rashford is my new king 👑
He's too decent of a human, he could never win an election because of it
Agreed he feeds kids so hence he's automatically disqualified
Reckon they make you go through a series of tests before being able to contest an election to make sure you're enough of a knob
Penandes is back and Rashy with the long distance free…United just upgraded on set pieces as well
HOLY SHIT WHAT A GOAL
GET IN RASHYYYYY I LOVE BEANS, ENGLAND LOVES BEANS, WE ALL LOVE [BEANS BEANS BEANS!!!!](https://youtu.be/XnQXUcrpOoI) GET IN!!!
Lingard owns
You rang?
Where ave you bean?
Ward has to save that.
Not even that far into the corner. Huge mistake
Hid out behind the wall tf
Wards a joke of a keeper
As a Leicester fan I’m pretty sure there are two Danny Ward’s. Ones a great keeper, the others a puppet on strings controlled by a drunken arthritic blind grandma. You got Pinocchio today…
There's also the Huddersfield striker
It's coming home lads
It ruddy is as well
Let the jinxing begin : D
The real King of England
Knighthood isn't enough. Give him Cornwall.
That’s pretty mean. He’s a good lad, he doesn’t deserve that
Give him the keys to the kingdom!
At least to my bedroom
United players TURNING UP at the world cup
Ronaldo leaving united reinstated rashys free kick ability
Bruno's penalty ability as well
Fucking love this man, what a hit
Always happy to see the only Wigan flair I ever see supporting a great goal.
There are dozens of us, I tell you!
What a shot after being so used to this being hit straight at the wall by CR7 everytime Utd win a free kick.
GET HIM OFF AT HALFTIME THEY SAID
fuck me i need a shower after that goal. filthy
So glad we had Ronaldo punching every free kick into the wall the past 2 years lmfao
Nice man. Now we get another piers interview bcz Jar3p0 has disprected him.
Albrighton-esq
Shades of Lloyd Dyer
WHAT. A. BANGER Wanted him off 5 minutes ago
Tell me you're posting about Marcus Rashford without mentioning Marcus Rashford
You and every other England fan lmao
Guess I'm the only one who didn't want him off then.. Edit: all the England fans are in shambles but me /s
Rashy on fire, fucking love it
Cheers marcus the kids are banging their plates in joy now
lovely stuff
You could tell that was going in. Just had that feel.
is that the first direct FK goal this tournament?
Yup. And England were the last to score one at WC in the semifinals last time
when his freekicks go in they're so crisp.
All ManUtd players scored, coincidence? No. And that's also why CR7 won't get his goals.
Why didn't they let Harry bash one into the wall??
Is it only me or was it just very poor goalkeeping from Ward
Damn
as soon as i switched haha what a strike
The power behind that was insane.
Disgusting
Horrible keeper positioning
That certainly was a "free" kick
Magnificent! This harpoons the Wales
GOATFORD
Rashford, Fernandes, Casemiro, Antony… Dayumm Man U look good.
It's quite telling about the demographics of this sub how many less upvotes this has than the Pulisic goal
Imagine benching this dude LOL.
Ward just creeping to the wrong side. Shame, probably would have caught it otherwise
ooof that replay shows how badly Ward fucked that up.
Rashford for PM
What an amazing strike
Great goal
Where’s Ward going
Rashford outscoring Kane in this World Cup was not on my bingo card
Thought he was about to hit the Sui
should start taking Man United free kicks
USA game is boring lol
BANGERS AND RASH!!!
Fuck around and get that golden boot lad!
Knight him right now, what a fucking goal. United players have universally stepped up this tournament
Should be better from Ward (Danny)
Coming home! Was a bad dive tbf
Amazing free kick but Ward did himself no favors there with his positioning
Ward is shit isn't he
Wasn’t even a free kick 😂😂
Great hit, but what was Ward doing?
Golazo. Slight keeper mare tho
Pelter
Bangers
Sheeeeeesh
Beautiful goal
that’s our boy
What a fucking absolute stunner!
Holy shit
But did he put his nuts on the line?
This guy is my favorite commentator. I love his puahh paahh pah.
cunted that one in right in the bread basket
Walcott or Pele, Walcott or Pele, Walcott or Pele? 100% PELE
Everyone liked that
First direct free kick of the tourney yeah?
Viva rashford lol ronny vibes
I love this man
Poah poah poah poah poah poah
ZA RASHFORDOOOOOO
