Sanches is living up to his hype from years back, having a good game
If only Portugal had a talented number 10 to open up the defence of Belgium.
They are in a similar situation to us. Fantastic squad of players but terrible manager. Lucked his way to a cup and now he can do no wrong.
Obviously, which comes back to my original point; for a nation that produces the tallest people on earth it might be good to also have a person up front who is also good in the air, like the Czech had today with Schick. So for those times when your wing backs get crosses in then you've get more of threat. With Depay they have very little in this regard.Whats that got to do with your original comment though? The reason the Dutch don't have big burly header specialists is because none of them make it to the top level of the national team.
