Always a risk having to listen to El Fraudo 6 days at a time. I'd break my ear too.

I'd do a Van Gogh mate

Can only be a good thing with Rom spending time training alongside Thierry

Martinez's sides still can't keep a clean sheet though.

His best game for Belgium. His hold up play was sensational. He won all duels and his passing was superb.

He scored 2 goals against Estonia!? We got a real talent on our hands here

I'd seriously look at bringing him onboard as a coach...

Tbf Belgium now has a goal ratio of 21-1 after 4 games, and they are really improving.
Maybe Martinez style can work, but only if he has enough good players? If not, his footbal idea is counterproductive.

But if you'd watched the game you'd be surprised at his hold up skills. He really was great and even produced an efficient backheel or four and chest pass or three.

Forget the two goals he scored. He just had his best ever game in terms of all round play in his entire career. I still can't believe how well he played yesterday, he genuinely looked like Drogba in his prime out there. He completely outshined every other player on the pitch including Hazard, De Bruyne, Carrasco & Mertens.

Heel flicks, backheels, chest passes, Ronaldo chops, first time touches round markers, bullying defenders, winning headers, pinning defenders back like Anichebe etc. Just a masterclass of a centre forward performance.

If he plays like that more frequently then you guys will unfortunately struggle to keep him beyond this summer but he'll most likely court a transfer fee in the Pogba/Bale range.

He played an excellent match. Depends there also loads of people who'd love to see the back of him. Think they'll get their wish though; with him not having yet signed a new contract and the neverending transfer rumours in the newspapers (like today; Juventus).
