Wait and see.

He’ll end up in China imo.

This could get lively.

Gabby Logan and Alex Scott - cracking line up for the BBC for this one.

Unfortunate that Micah Richards is joining them.

Laughing here: Roberto has been steering Belgium to their best ever results for the last 6 years...but only now do the dullards who wanted him gone from Everton pipe up.

I think that speaks volumes for some.

Best ever results, how many trophies has that won him exactly?

WC 2018 - finished 3rd
Nations League 2018/19 - finished 2nd to Switzerland, failing to qualify for final 4 tournament
Euro 2020 - knocked out in quarter finals by eventual winners Italy
Nations League 2020/21 - finished 4th in final four tournament losing to Italy again
Nations League 2022/23 - finished 2nd by a distance to Netherlands, failing to qualify for final 4 tournament
World Cup 2022 - laboured to a win over Canada, lost deservedly to Morocco, could be eliminated on Thursday

Roberto is truly a terrible manager.

Big fan Dave but when you're wrong you're really wrong. Plenty of Martinez criticism over the last 6 years.

Unjustified.

A 3rd place finish was as good as it was getting for that team. There was utter bollocks written about it being a golden generation...maybe for Belgium, but not for any major national team.

Bit of a silly comment that imo.

 

[ArtetaMoney]

The slow build up play and poor defending was very similar to Martinez’s last season with us. Seems like he hasn’t learned from it.

Got a sneaky feeling game of the tournament is coming up...

“Build up play.” Its still just side to side passing with no actual purpose.

 

[Jamiednm]

Surely a very comfortable Croatia win here, though I’d love the Canadians to get a shock win.

It will be anything but comfortable imo. Canadas strengths align well with Croatias weaknesses.

Majer and Sucic on the bench and he starts Livaja. This Croatia coach is a Southgate 2.0
