Martinez new Belgium head coach

[hallamblue]

He's a tactical genius, his changes saved that game imo

They were Moyes' tactics, if in doubt put it up to Fellaini!

Karma.

Indeed. Sadly he was back at FF yesterday.

I reckon that come-from-behind win will imbue Belgium with huge psychological/confidence boost. Brazil can be a flaky, hot/cold team: it's not a game I'll be putting hard-earned on.

Conceeding 2 against Japan, they won't be coming back from 2 nil against Brazil, those defending omens are very familiar!

That and Japan making a mess up of that corner!I think a less naive and more tactically astute side, would not have let Belgium back into that game.

Naievty was very much part of that last goal, still they took their chance.

To quote that Font of all Wisdom, the All Knowing and All Seeing Sir William Kenwright, AKA 'Boys Pen Bill', 'Billy Bull***t' and 'Where's the Arteta money gone Bill?':

"What a manager!"

Mourinho also does the same, disgraceful really when you have spent the money they have. Allardyce, Pulis etc. get slammed for doing the same.

Should have been given another season.

changing tactics from the start of the brazil game will be the true test

It wasn't naivity. They wanted to win the game in 90 minutes, With their high tempo game I doubt they could have lasted another 30.

Obviously they didn't want to score or lose like...

Shine on, Roberto, you crazy diamond.

People are dismissive because they don't class Japan/Asia. Japan played some wonderful stuff.

Japan played their balls off last night. It really did look like they were going to win it. Nice defending too.
