Should have been part of the squad in brazil also

Kompany really is tactically clueless isn't he?

[Sir Mikel OBE 4,920]

Best striker out there scores.

Seriously. He's good, but he tries to do too much and cover for everyone - so inevitably he gets caught badly out of position.

[Sir Mikel OBE 4,920]

Great ball to lukaku from De Bruyne.

YES ICELAND!!! So proud of Iceland, a country with only 320k people and are dominating teams like Turkey, Netherlands, Latvia. Huge respect to them.

[MrExcalibur100 7,124]

Hazard playing really well toying with the Bosnian defense. Pity his teammates are not on the same level as he is. Belgium marginally the better team, Bosnia score with their only real chance of the game.

He plays the same way regardless of the quality of opposition. His coaches should have a word with him seriously

Iceland 2 - 0 The Netherlands HT

Who expected that?!

[Weckerz 3,781]

Why would you go in a 4-3-3 vs Bosnia anyway? With 2 midgets in midfield and players not used being short a midfielder. Wilmots losing the plot again

[didierforever 7,349]

belgium decision making in the final third has been shocking. origi is worse the kalou in that aspect.

had 10 pounds on them. gonna lose it.

[Sir Mikel OBE 4,920]

Belgium have the better players by far but it just feels like Bosnia is more of a team.

[MrExcalibur100 7,124]

Belgium are a weird team the way they play. Zero team cohesion and the blame should go the manager. I don't see them accomplishing anything of note under Wilmots.

Am I the only one that realises Hodgson is so badly out of his depth? He gets no stick from the media despite being an absolutely rubbish manager at the top level. Only Liverpool fans mainly tend to give him the criticsm he deserves due to having his bolax for 6 months (was hilarious on our side tho).

He has no tactical flexibility, he sets up for Estonia like he would Spain, has a serial loser mentality and awful man management (threw Sterling under a bus by publicly stating he requested to rest and apparently ignored medical advice to make Sturridge train and in that session he got injured), plays the worst football I have ever seen, Also he is massively deluded, he thinks his achievements in Scandinavia deserve regonition on par with Ferguson.

To be fair, he is a good steady hand for a team like Fulham who have no ambition and are happy to merely get by, but a team with ambitions to improve and evolve, I genuinely can't think of any one worse, he was found out at Liverpool and in England, exactly the same, we will hit new lows with this clown in charge, mark my words.

If we bring players like Baker through hopefully Roy is long gone before they are ready for internationals, the thought off any off our young talent in his hands makes me cringe.

These ones aren't to bad because fifa has just come out.

The one's in September are the worst, we finally get a taste of prem football again only for it to be snatched away by internationals almost straight away.
