He has achieved nothing more than Southgate has with this Belgium side that were probably favourites for the last World Cup Edited April 1, 2021 by Zatman Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And they're a better team than us Both of them are poor managers I don't agree England got the easy draw and lost to croatia. Belgium met a great team in France in the semi's. They did as well as could have been expected. They are currently world no.1 in the FIFA rankings. he has done far better than the previous manager.

Agree that he's better than wilmots Doesn't make him good though, martinez is not a top tier manager Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Theres no way they would have lost to croatia. they only lost 1-0 to France. I think we have more talent than Belgium have as well. So lets see how both countries do in the euros Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bobzy Posted April 2, 2021 Share Posted April 2, 2021 Martinez is doing a very good job at Belgium and far, far better than what Southgate is doing at England. To suggest otherwise is farcical. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seems these days that being a 'top' side seems to rely on being able to dive better than the opposition. If I was the Polish defender I would have picked Sterling up by the scruff and thrown him into the stands for being a cheating bugger. Germany got one as well, although the ref in that game was awful. Macedonia had a nailed on penalty for handball chalked off. Poland had a nailed on penalty too, when Maguire blatantly knocked the ball away with his hand. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And as much as VAR causes some problems, not giving that hand ball is also a big problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
