Derailing somewhat, I think the same goes for Belgium's national team and their coach, Marc Wilmots. We were very lucky to qualify directly for the World Cup last year (people tend to not realize that here, it seems) In yesterday's game against Cyprus, they managed to scrape by a 0-1 victory (Hazard '86). Telling stat: first half possession: 48-52 %
I don't know how Phil Jackson fills his days, but he'd the first person I would contact for the job of national coach, if it were up to me. Who knows, he might just be up for the challenge...
