Belgium faith in Engels

102

Replacing the Belgium captain with 8 minutes remaining of a defeat to France is not a perfect evening, but the direction of travel is clear for Arne Engels, who came on for Youri Tielemans in Brussels last night.

Since moving to Celtic from Augsburg in August, Arne won his first two full international caps, an indication of how highly rated he is by manager Domenico Tedesco.  Tedesco, still only 39, has managed Schalke and Leipzig, so will be well aware of the developing Bundesliga talent in recent seasons.

Hooking your captain, who plays in the FA Premier League for Aston Villa, for a 21-year-old when you are chasing an equaliser is a ballsy move.  He has faith in Arne.

  1. No chance Ronaldo was going to swap shirts with anyone tonight.

     

    Got to say a draw was a good result for Scotland

     

    Portugal are a tremendous team, so to prevent them scoring was a real achievement.

     

    That said Craig Gordon didnt make too many saves.

  2. Tom McLaughlin on

    Ronaldo shows his true colours at the end, refusing to shake hands with anyone and escaping up the tunnel. Can’t accept that he and his team were kept out by Scottish defenders. A sore loser. Yes it was a draw, but that’s as bad as a defeat in his tiny mind.

  3. Ronaldo did shake hands with a number of Scots including Tony. I hate the tosser but to say that he didn’t is just not true.

  4. Setting Free The Bears.

     

     

    I would say Souttar was man of match on our side

     

    Tony Ralston close second.

  8. Hilarious thread of a type you often see on ff this morning discussing who of the current squad will go for lots of money. If you need a laugh have a look. One of the best comments is that they will make a profit on everyone signed by Clement.

    Apparently Italian clubs will pay big money for Conor Barron.
