Well obviously, Luis Enrique got the job yesterday

Just seen the goal and pmsl at the zonal marking in a world cup semi final.

Never change Bobby.

Statistic: half of all goals in this WC have been scored via set pieces.

Another stat: that's Belgium's first defeat in 25 matches....their best ever run.

Bobby: he just loves smashing records.

When do you reckon we;ll have our best ever PL points tally smashed again? 5 years? 10 years 20 years?

Probably not for a while, the great man himself failed twice immediately after.

haha davek covering his bases ahead of the match knowing the clown was going to lose

 

[JobForTheMoyes]

Belgium had the best squad in the tournament - they really should have been able to take a functional France team to the cleaners.

 

[Blackwell Livermore]

If Ginger Davey was managing Belgium they would have trounced France.

 

[CrustySack]

It was a shame tonight to see the best squad left in the tournament, to be let down by a tactically naive manager when it mattered most.

 

[Rook]

LOOK I STARTED DEMBELE AND SEE HE WAS @#$% ARE YOU HAPPY NOW!!!

Took the best collection of players in the world at the peak of their powers and only got to the semi.

Really should have gone out in last 16 but for slice of good luck against Japan.

Still, if semi final is considered a success, then he has been a success. Not sure all in Belgium will see it that way.

The same type of success he had with us - meaningless success.

72pts? Still fifth.
Quarter/semi finals? Still didn't win.

End of the day, winners write history, not "almost-men".

Me neither

...the tournament became significantly more difficult for them once they beat England. Playing Brazil quickly followed by France was asking a lot. If they had drawn the England game, i’m sure they would have cruised to the Final in the easy half of the draw. Martinez should have known that strategy.

Davek literally knows everything about football. Sad for anyone who has planted their flag against him

 

[BigMick]

Not my words, take a listen to the pundits.

Roberto got his tourna,ment spot on. They just ran into the immovable object there tonight. France are out on their own in this tournament. No disgrace going out to the winners 1-0.

Love your stout defence of 'the maestro' but seriously?!?!
