Martinez did seem a bit off the pace but he's had a busier summer than most. His only problem today was a lack of speed which is nothing but fatigue. Even though he didn't play much, his whole involvement in the Confederations Cup would've taken its toll and probably put him a couple of weeks behind those who didn't go.
Yeah, it was a good game, although I hate the unlimited subs thing in any game. It just means the whole thing eventually descends to nonsense. Worth watching if only for the first half, though.
