Is she ? I thought she was a Swansea girl that he met when he was here? |  | |  |

This came up on here a while back. Like you, I thought she was from these parts but evidently not. |  |

Wikipedia says: In June 2009, Martínez married his Scottish girlfriend Beth Thomson at St Joseph's Cathedral in Swansea. The couple met in Scotland in 2002, while he was playing for Motherwell. They have two daughters together. |  | |  |

| Pain or damage don't end the world. Or despair, or f*cking beatings. The world ends when you're dead. Until then, you got more punishment in store. Stand it like a man... and give some back. |

He hasn't really been successful on the international stage when he had talent available, it would be interesting to see how he would be with very little talent. Its all about expectations I suppose. |  | |  | Login to get fewer ads

Ill give him 18 months. Not as talented as Russell Martin in talking himself into a job but not far behind. If he couldn't get a tune out of the Belgium team he managed & didn't have the balls to drop Ronaldo cant see him doing much with the Jocks. |  | |  |

It wasn't Ronaldo's fault they lost, not at all. He made that very clear with his facial expressions. Plus what he thought of Martinez. It had me giggling. |  | |  |

How has he managed to stay in work all of this time on the back of 1 League 1 promotion and an FA cup for Wigan? Led two of the best international sides to nowhere. |  | |  |

There was a point when he was with Wigan where they seemed to be losing 9-0 almost every week. Winning the FA cup was a great achievement but they still got relegated the same season. I’m not sure why his stock is still seemingly so high. |  |

His Portugal team won the Nations league defeating Spain on penalties two years back. He has some good times at Belgium. Few expected Portugal r to go all the way as they had no centre forward. |  |

He had the Belgium golden generation! I could have sworn Goncalo Ramos was a centre forward |  |

As I said it was all about expectations, both Belgium and Portugal were expected to achieve more with the players they had. Players, supporters and national officials we all disappointed and voiced this. He should have done better. |  | |  |

One or two sub appearances only. Playing for AC Milan was a sign of greatness in the past. Not anymore. |  |

You really are the gift that keeps on giving Ramos has only just signed for Milan from PSG where he scored 25 goals in 70 appearances Also scored the goal that put Portugal through against Croatia criminally under used by Martinez |  |

Martinez who saw him training everyday did not like what he saw and did not select him. He is no doubt a good player but we are talking about the World Cup. He was not considered good enough to lead the line. We have just seen England go out resorting to panic hoofball for one third of the game. Martinez would have done a better job than Tuchel perhaps ? He failed at the same extreme peak as most managers do. There can only be one winner. . All the also ran are "no good" or "frauds". They were very good just not the very best. Last night even Kane was anonymous. [Post edited 16 Jul 14:26]

Football fans and players are often pathetic as we saw with the Argentinians last night. Martinez took the Spanish all the way with his Portugal team.That takes some doing. He did not park the bus either. |  |
