Always been good, we've had worse players play for us since we've left.

Yes, but he wouldn't have settled for the role those players have had. In his position we've upgraded with Son and Dele.
Chadli's quality though, was good for us when fit, and I'd have him ahead of his Spurs peers Sigurdsson and Dempsey.

Underdogs defeating some of the biggest nations in the history of the game, an English centre-back has as many goals as Neymar, a guy who was once on loan at Leyton Orient is leading the race for the golden boot, and now Martinez turns a match around with tactics. This is an odd World Cup.

Feel sorry for Japan, have a soft spot for them after visiting Tokyo once upon a time.

Unlucky on Japan, but fair play to Belgium. Still think Brazil will have the beating of them .

The downside for Belgium is that Martinez has extended his stay beyond this World Cup now.
