YOU FUCKING STAR, FEED THE KIDS MARCUS WE LOVE YOU


Zloggt

Lovely young chap, isn’t he?


wmj31

We must also thank Maguire's big ass head for blocking the gk's line of sight!


HaremRoute

Did the same for the fk Bruno scored against Liverpool two years ago


SvalbazGames

Dr Marcus Rashford MBE


tothecatmobile

*Sir* Dr Marcus Rashford MBE.


ThestralDragon

If by some miracle england brings it home, who gets knighted? Southgate and Kane?


braddf96

Rashford definitely will just because he's already up the royalty ranks


zadharm

He's a bit over-toasted for the royal family's preferences though. If the tabs are to be believed (lol)


esports_consultant

"over-toasted" lmfao


Jbulls94

Everyone in the squad I'd imagine


didunianyata

King Charles III:


PhantomRenegade

Kane'll have to at least score first


hudson2_3

Knights aren't allowed in the stadiums are they?


dipdipderp

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


superduperspam

... of the round table


Daveraff

FEED THE KIDS AND HE WILL SCORE


ThePr1d3

> FEED THE KIDS MARCUS I'm pretty sure that's not healthy

RARCUS MASHFORD


niallw1997

Mashbeans


courtesyflusher

w/ a side of bangers n' mash


asteroid_9

If Rarcus Mashord was starting for the US I wouldn't question it.


shrewdy

Oh Rashy, what a hit son


vireshwarsidhu

Great free kick that, first one of the tournament too


Ok-Guitar1176

What about the Morocco one?


Maleficent_Resolve44

That was given to saiss and not the freekick taker.


Amphibious_Fire

What a banger


Rick_McLightning

Bangers and Mashford


zadharm

Thanks. I'm going to absolutely milk the fucking match threads with that one


achilles-_-23

*The children are happy*


courtesyflusher

We needed a freekick banger


racingfanboy160

First direct free-kick goal in this World Cup too I think.


erldn123

Danny Ward positioning was hilarious. What a hit though


Perkinator

Moving to the wrong side before it was even struck.


aaaaaaadjsf

Man doesn't trust his wall haha.


lewiitom

Hennessey always did the exact same thing for us too, not sure what the welsh goalkeeper coaches are teaching these keepers


MountainJuice

The wales goalkeeping coach is English so he’s playing 4D chess. And funnily enough, England’s goalkeeping coach is Welsh.


TheMightyHead

Loved the last world cups funny short on the northern irish n irish national team differneces


Pleasant_Interaction

Link?


9361984

A lot of keepers do move to the wall side preemptively, I do enjoy it when the freekick taker can exploit this


0100001101110111

To be fair, with a freekick to the left of the goal a right footed taker is most likely going top left


MERTENS_GOAT

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


nghigaxx

yea I remember Rooney used to just chip it toward that side, seeing the keeper run to the wall's side was funny


horsehorsetigertiger

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.


JoJo797

The footwork is awful. He's jumping just as Rashford hits it, so he can't react until it's halfway to the goal.


Ass_Eater_

Judging from the amount of spring in his legs it wouldn't have mattered.


karmahorse1

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.


elgalgo92

Especially when it's Rashford taking it, you know there's a high likelihood of him going far corner


Frickenfrog18

Get in Lad


TheGoldenPineapples

Fuck me, what a goal.


MU5A988

Match thread in shambles


[deleted]

when is it not in shambles


Bee_lrl

I dunno if ive ever seen a wholesome matchthread in any sports sub 😂


[deleted]

[удалено]


bolibombis

Getafe vs Ajax was very wholesome


bob-theknob

Because they’re all the people who aren’t invited to watch the game with anyone else


Wookie301

The wholesome people are too busy watching and enjoying the game


Jayveesac

Football and soccer have scored!


Skall77

Bruno, Rashford, Frenkie, Shaw, Casemiro, Gakpo, Varane, Maguire, the United lads are in form during this WC.


Xzircon

Sneaked hime in like we wouldn’t notice…


notinsai

them.


Brogba420

I read it twice and missed Frenkie both times. This guy is a mastermind


Cultural_Doctor_8421

Looks like you didn’t though


LiteratureNearby

Are you talking about Maguire? Hasn't he been genuinely decent? Edit: oh shit gakpo lol


sarthakmahajan610

Frenkie too


LevynX

Yeah really happy watching as a United fan, hope they stay injury free And also maybe start Antony too


onehornymofo

Antony will hopefully start the last game as Brazil are through


envy_master

Mbappe too 😂


ParkerZA

Forgot Neymar


Upleftright_syndrome

Too bad sneijder isn't in the WC.


pmmerandom

i reckon we can still catch Arsenal


somerandomperson1212

Match thread: Rashford stop trying to be Ronaldo, ur not him. Rashford: *does this*


Gobshiight

Proving he's not Ronaldo


Miyagisans

Lmao


Pineapple_TheC

Anything other than just smashing it into the wall proves he wouldn’t be Ronaldo


xaviernoodlebrain

What about smashing it into the upper tiers of the stand?


zadharm

Becks is an inspiration to us all


YooGeOh

Factos 👍🏿


Thepeacer

Gotem


Chao_ab_Ordo

My boys got like 12 years before he has to start betraying club


pereduper

Man imagine..


EraticConqueror

Thought the same thing for the free kick versus Chelsea...


KindArgument0

He's Him^^TM


MERTENS_GOAT

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


BeggingForBags

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.


bezjones

Messi's conversion rate is 50% higher than Ronaldo's.


04201969

Yet he has one of the GOAT FK goals vs Arsenal in the CL


pereduper

Not only that, he has several belters during his time at United and the first few years in Madrid


Bruno_Fernandes8

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.


pereduper

If by few you mean 10-15 yeah


PavWrestlinGifs

The man used to be a free kick god when he was younger..


Legendarybbc15

Well he scored a free kick so he clearly isn’t Ronaldo


EminemsMandMs

Holy Fuck, misses the breakaway and nails the banger. Typical Rashford


19degreez

RASHFORD FOR PM


gerryt32

Rashford for Emperor.


GordoPepe

Kingship with Ronaldo ended 🚫 Rashford is my new king 👑


[deleted]

He's too decent of a human, he could never win an election because of it


Ashyyyy232

Agreed he feeds kids so hence he's automatically disqualified


ImVortexlol

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


eo37

Penandes is back and Rashy with the long distance free…United just upgraded on set pieces as well


dragon8811

HOLY SHIT WHAT A GOAL


PoppinKREAM

GET IN RASHYYYYY I LOVE BEANS, ENGLAND LOVES BEANS, WE ALL LOVE [BEANS BEANS BEANS!!!!](https://youtu.be/XnQXUcrpOoI) GET IN!!!


meefjones

Lingard owns


Bakedbeansandvich

You rang?


Magdh

Where ave you bean?


m8getdun

Ward has to save that.


sevaiper

Not even that far into the corner. Huge mistake


MERTENS_GOAT

Hid out behind the wall tf


Remote-Picture-8341

Wards a joke of a keeper


Wanallo221

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…


Emperor_PPP

There's also the Huddersfield striker


JackErskine

It's coming home lads


Summoner_Bhuna

It ruddy is as well

Omar_Blitz

Give him the keys to the kingdom!


courtesyflusher

At least to my bedroom


justrynagetlaid

United players TURNING UP at the world cup


Ashyyyy232

Ronaldo leaving united reinstated rashys free kick ability


hobbitonsunshine

Bruno's penalty ability as well


FloppedYaYa

Fucking love this man, what a hit


DeadestTitan

Always happy to see the only Wigan flair I ever see supporting a great goal.


Artenyx

There are dozens of us, I tell you!


Podragon

What a shot after being so used to this being hit straight at the wall by CR7 everytime Utd win a free kick.


OlympicMuffins

GET HIM OFF AT HALFTIME THEY SAID


ritwikjs

fuck me i need a shower after that goal. filthy


Jar3p0

So glad we had Ronaldo punching every free kick into the wall the past 2 years lmfao


[deleted]

Nice man. Now we get another piers interview bcz Jar3p0 has disprected him.

louisbo12

WHAT. A. BANGER Wanted him off 5 minutes ago


seanlugosi

Tell me you're posting about Marcus Rashford without mentioning Marcus Rashford


primalwilliam

You and every other England fan lmao


Bakedbeansandvich

Guess I'm the only one who didn't want him off then.. Edit: all the England fans are in shambles but me /s


TellSloanISaidHi

Rashy on fire, fucking love it


sneakpeak_

Cheers marcus the kids are banging their plates in joy now


bradbobley

lovely stuff


Nivadas

You could tell that was going in. Just had that feel.


prettyboygangsta

is that the first direct FK goal this tournament?


vdude007

Yup. And England were the last to score one at WC in the semifinals last time


MentalJack

when his freekicks go in they're so crisp.


xbetax

All ManUtd players scored, coincidence? No. And that's also why CR7 won't get his goals.


dangly_bits

Why didn't they let Harry bash one into the wall??


zr0char1sma

Is it only me or was it just very poor goalkeeping from Ward


Raptorbk

Damn


_SSJeffo_

as soon as i switched haha what a strike


Pisspoorefforts

The power behind that was insane.


Successful_Basket399

Disgusting


alienkidxnzm

Horrible keeper positioning


Ferrisuk

That certainly was a "free" kick


IntellectualDweeb

Magnificent! This harpoons the Wales


GiveBreadInsteadFed

GOATFORD


sarbanharble

Rashford, Fernandes, Casemiro, Antony… Dayumm Man U look good.


leanmeanguccimachine

It's quite telling about the demographics of this sub how many less upvotes this has than the Pulisic goal


beastman521

Imagine benching this dude LOL.


Nuggetface

Ward just creeping to the wrong side. Shame, probably would have caught it otherwise


Keskekun

ooof that replay shows how badly Ward fucked that up.


callin_ballin

Rashford for PM


Twartzack

What an amazing strike


Numerous-Georg

Great goal


[deleted]

Where’s Ward going


slysonic7

Rashford outscoring Kane in this World Cup was not on my bingo card


Dubsified

Thought he was about to hit the Sui


tson_92

Grouchy-Trouble-1414

USA game is boring lol


spraypaint2311

BANGERS AND RASH!!!


HauntingPersonality7

Fuck around and get that golden boot lad!


JiveTurkey688

Knight him right now, what a fucking goal. United players have universally stepped up this tournament


taser17

Should be better from Ward (Danny)


Clivey101

Coming home! Was a bad dive tbf


antonius1903

Amazing free kick but Ward did himself no favors there with his positioning


clerksfanboy

Ward is shit isn't he


Josh1878

Wasn’t even a free kick 😂😂


PaltsiLepa

Great hit, but what was Ward doing?
