Roberto Martínez upbeat as Belgium's old guard have final tilt at major title

It is almost three years since Roberto Martínez, offering a positive analysis as always but failing to mask his disappointment, sat in the media marquee outside Gazprom Arena and bemoaned the fine margins that had eluded his Belgium side. "We couldn't find that bit of magic in front of goal, that bit of luck," he said. "But I'm so proud of the players. If you're going to lose, you lose giving everything you've got."
