With Croatians I can understand, the team is good in some places, but some positions are covered by players that are controlled by the 'mafia'...there is a lot of shady stuff behind it
With Belgium I just can't get it. Well, at least they are one win away from qualifying, so that's something.
Just like I said, it's the coach. Wilmots only calls up 'friends' and players he likes. He has no authority in dressing room and his motivating has passed by. Why would Hazard even listen to this clown when he has a Mourinho at Chelsea?
There's basically no speed or creativity in the team by the way they play (hard to say when you have De Bruyne, Hazard,..)
He calls up players who haven't played a single game, are clearly not fit enough or are his 'buddies' (friend politics) (Origi, Ciman, Gillet, Boyata, Januzaj, Bentéké (not fit))
Witsel is in terrible form, a glimpse from who he was at the WC-Qualifiers. Wilmots can't link players as Hazard & De Bruyne. Always it has to be flash from one of the players to score a goal.
Lukaku is awful as striker in Belgium. Simply because he needs a striker next to him ( not Bentéké ( :genius: ) ). Shame he never tries out new formations such as 4-3-1-2 or 4-4-2 or 4-2-3-1 always the same 4-3-3 which leaves the striker isolated and the wingers clueless.
Instead of calling up Kums (regista of Champion Gent) or Tielemans he calls up Defour (whom he harshly criticized himself). Depoitre (striker) has been performing constantly, he would be a better call up than Origi and Bentéké, but no. And always playing 2 CB as FB's
Shame to see such a highly potential team being hold down by a clown as coach.
