Belgium

Entertaining friendly versus Costa Rica today. Great work by Lukaku, Mertens, and Hazard in attack. Hazard looks like a different player unshackled from Chelsea. Team starting to click well.

Well, folks, congrats to Belgium team for 3rd place. And all in all great football. They tried to play and not sit back. That is what should count the most.

 

[BerkeleyBernie]

Still the most entertaining national team at the present moment.

The last goal here...any one of the front three could have scored. All with great passes.

Mertens...what a creative technical player. Would have loved to have seen him at Barça.

Should have destroyed France, the French didn't want to play Football.

Mertens got an offer from Barcelona but did not accept it because we had MSN at the time.

He isent good enough to start for us tho.

Actually, he is. And, TBH, I'd rather have him than Suarez at this point. Better a shorter faster more technical and clinical player up top if our #9 can't deliver in his role.

He's not faster

Mertens is 31 at this point, he has been great the last couple of years but clearly not an option for the future.

Domenico Tedesco takes over after Martinez.

 

[Andresito]

No Courtois, as expected.

No Courtois, as expected.

with Tedesco they will win nothing

Radja Nainggolan: "Roberto Martinez is a poor coach. A good coach is someone who gives a team an idea. With Martinez, Belgium never had a clue. We never really had a style of play. We had no patterns, no attacking runs in the box. I believe Belgium could have won trophies if we had a better coach."

Mendes and Joao Neves carried that coach
