World Cup 2018: 5 reasons why this could be Belgium's tournament

#4 Roberto Martinez as coach might be the most inspired choice

Roberto Martinez knows what he wants

Many eyebrows were raised when Roberto Martinez was selected as the man to lead Belgium after the failure in Euro 2016. However, Belgium became the first team from Europe to qualify for the Cup, taking 28 points off a possible 30.

Martinez had only coached middle-rung club teams till this point but has risen to the occasion perfectly and his dropping of Radja Nainggolan, despite the howls of derision from fans, shows the man knows what he wants.

His low-profile presence behind the array of stars might just be what the team needs to progress to the later stages.
