Belgium is outplayed every match in my opinion. Courtois is immense.
I guess Martinez was thinking along the same lines as Lippi who said:

"Winning is not about choosing the best technical players, it's about choosing the best to create a team. I'm convinced in 2006 I didn't call up all the best players, but I called up the guys who were gonna win. Sometimes the best possible players all together don't make a team. Football is like a mosaic, you gotta put the pieces together"

Giroud sucks :lol: cant believe how lucky DD is, so incompetent yet will reach the WC final due to his squad being so talented and the rest of the top teams so lame.

Matuidi is bossing today tho. dominating Nainggolan less lolgians

Not sure I understand why Belgium is staying with 3 CBs and Vertonghen especially.

They should have kept Fellaini on and put him beside Lukaku and sub Vertonghen instead. Isn't the whole reason Fellaini is there, is just to win headers when you are trailing?
