I just find it farcical to make so many changes when the loser ends up with Colombia. if you can't make the first XI on merit you're emergency backup and don't deserve to play in the world cup
Bit of a shambles that Martinez is coming out and saying the priority isn't to win.
I hope we smash them if he's going to be that 'smug' about throwing the game.
The winner plays Japan, don't look to the quarter-finals because that's usually always a tough game anyway, so it shouldn't matter who we get when we get there. Heck Mexico could even beat Brazil!

He cant win though he plays his first 11 and someone gets injured he gets stick. He has to balance rest, injuries and squad morale as they are living together for a month. Besides finishing second isnt a disadvage if we want to go further we need to be good enough to beat Columbia.I just find it farcical to make so many changes when the loser ends up with Colombia. if you can't make the first XI on merit you're emergency backup and don't deserve to play in the world cup

That’s what Martinez wants though. If we smash them, they won’t be arsed. Belgium would be in the semis and we’d be on the plane home after the quarters. They’re not stupid, they want the best chance of winning the tournament. We should want that too. This game could be a contest of who can score the most own goals without making it obvious that it’s intentional ;)Bit of a shambles that Martinez is coming out and saying the priority isn't to win.
I hope we smash them if thats how they approach it.

Spot on. If I was a Belgian I’d be furious at the changes and Martinez’s comments. The winner plays japan ffs!I just find it farcical to make so many changes when the loser ends up with Colombia. if you can't make the first XI on merit you're emergency backup and don't deserve to play in the world cup
When the final is on both BBC and ITV, how do ITV expect anyone to watch their inferior coverage? Adverts, Tyldesley, Hoddle, Giggs, Keane and Gary Neville; no chance.
I hope the advertisers aren't paying any money.
Fucking Jesus Christ they've even got Piers Morgan too. They need a trigger warning for that shit pre watershed.
