Heel Europa lacht met keuzes Martinez: "Januzaj? Benteke? Chadli?"

In Italië snapt men er uiteraard -excuseer ons het woord- geen kl*ten van.

Martinez il tuo stupido orgoglio di non portare radja per sentirti protagonista ti porterà a perdere presto! Ne fai una questione tattica... E allora che cxxo fai?????

Noo Radja non va ai mondiali, mi dispiace troppo per lui ?

Uno come Radja, a 30 anni che si deve ritirare dalla nazionale, che spreco

— Giada ?❤ (@obsessedwithasr) May 21, 2018

Ma come si può lasciare fuori dal mondiale (per motivi tattici) un giocatore come #Nainggolan ?
Ma dai, io non me la bevo.
Perdonali Radja, non sanno quello che fanno.#Mondiali2018

Ook Danijel Milicevic begreep er helemaal niets van.

No Radja? ??‍♂️ #TopPlayer

Vooral uit Engelse hoek waren de reacties scherp.

Martinez on the day of his Belgium appointment. - "I will only pick players who play in the top leagues"

His World Cup squad has Carrasco & Witsel who play in China, Ciman who plays in MLS, Boyata who plays in SPL & Chadli who started two games for a relegated West Brom team.

Martinez will call this decision “tactical”...but it’s not.

He’s had personal issues with Nainggolan for some time now and he let that carry over into his World Cup team selection. Pathetic.

Spare a thought for Belgium fans as Roberto Martinez has included the likes of Nacer Chadli, Dendoncker, Fellaini, Tielemens but found no room for Radja Nainggolan.

— FTS Football (@FromTStands) May 21, 2018

Roberto Martinez picked Marouane Fellaini in his squad for Belgium for the World Cup and left Radja Nainggolan at Home.

Let that sink in.

— Ryan. ? (@Vintage_Utd) May 21, 2018

Belgium legit dropped Naingollan, but picked Fellaini. Lmaoo! Martinez has gone maddd!!!

— Cross˚ (@Elcrucifixio) May 21, 2018

Nainggolan not in Belgium World Cup Squad but Fellaini is...Martinez always has been a fool

— The United Stand (@UnitedStandMUFC) May 21, 2018

People are saying it’s a risk for Martinez to leave Nainggolan out of the Belgian World Cup squad but let’s not forget he also also once risked stepping in front of a Terry Fleming throw in and it all turned out okay.

Kind of.

Radja Nainggolan retires from international football after being left out of the World Cup squad by Roberto Martinez. Rumours emerging that Martinez is trying to push through a Belgian passport for Antolin Alcaraz in time for Russia. pic.twitter.com/kvYcWmtF8X

Radja Nainggolan has created more chances (196) and won more tackles (214) for Roma than any other player in Serie A and the Champions League since 2015/16.

Get a midfielder who can do both... oh wait. ? pic.twitter.com/TBj6htvZJ2

How on earth have Chadli and Januzaj got in that Belgium squad ahead of Radja Nainggolan?!
