Belgium coach Garcia’s tenure in doubt after Courtois substitution

ATLANTA: Belgium coach Rudi Garcia came under a barrage of fire for replacing first-choice goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois in Friday’s World Cup quarter-final loss to Spain, adding to questions about his future. Courtois felt he could continue despite a twinge in his leg, but Garcia insisted he come off as he was not 100 percent fit. Senne Lammens went on as his replacement after 71 minutes but spilt a low strike by Pau Cubarsi, allowing Spain substitute Mikel Merino to pounce in the 86th minute and secure a 2-1 victory on Friday.
