Doelmannen: Thibaut Courtois, Simon Mignolet, Koen Casteels, Matz Sels

Verdedigers: Toby Alderweireld, Jan Vertonghen, Vincent Kompany, Thomas Vermaelen, Thomas Meunier, Laurent Ciman, Dedryck Boyata, Christian Kabasele, Jordan Lukaku

Middenvelders: Kevin De Bruyne, Mousa Dembélé, Axel Witsel, Marouane Fellaini, Yannick Carrasco, Nacer Chadli, Leander Dendoncker, Thorgan Hazard, Youri Tielemans

Aanvallers: Eden Hazard, Dries Mertens, Romelu Lukaku, Michy Batshuayi, Christian Benteke, Adnan Januzaj

As for request by Fender;


So this is a 28 men squad, so 5 will still lose their place.

My opinion: NO FUCKING RADJA NAINNGOLAN.

It's stupid, the coach doesn't like him and is not calling him up, instead he picks Witsel. It's stupid and the only way this can succeed for him is if they win the WC.

Other weird calls:

Boyata -> terrible defender, don't rate him one bit and he never plays.
Ciman -> I like him, can do a job if needed, expect him to stay in the squad.
Kabasele -> Hasn't had the best of seasons, however I still rate him.
Chadli -> Has had injury after injury this season, weird to see him in the squad after relegation with West Brom.
Dendoncker -> Massive talent, but has had a shocker of a season. Expect him to fall short.
Tielemans -> Hasn't had many matches for Belgium yet, but played alot for Monaco and has alot of potential.
Benteke -> Don't get why he gets called up. Lukaku and Batshuayi are going to be our main strikers.
Januzaj -> Hasn't played for Belgium in ages, but apperantly had a good season.


So overall, manager made a terrible call by not calling Radja for our compaign. He's doomed himself unless we win it, but with this squad I don't see us going any further than the semis.

Januzaj's first half of the season wasn't good. Very inconsistent, with bad performances being much more common than the good ones. He has improved massively in 2018 though, especially after the team changed manager. He has still been a bit inconsistent, but his good games are now far more common.

Not sure if he will make the final cut tbh. Boyata will sadly most likely make it so that's one place filled.

As per expected, Nainggolan has announced his retirement from national football.

Can't believe we didn't call up someone of his skill.

20/1 for lukaku top scorer, depending on how belgian do. i think he has a good chance, not a difficult group.

He didn't get called up either for the WC in 2014 while Wilmots was a coach, him and Martinez both think he's too different than the rest. He likes to go out a bit and smoke and they can't handle that whatsoever.
I'd say let him smoke if he turns up at his games and play out of his skin..
Martinez has labelled it as a "tactical decision", and that he doesn't fit in our way of playing. Complete BS ofcourse and the whole of Belgium is angry about it.
Witsel is doing fine as for as I know, really hope he returns to Europe to play football because he has the potential to be up there, but if him and Carrasco keep wasting their careers away in China I really don't want them to be called up.

It's a difficult one, Lukaku either turns up or he doesn't. Last WC he was shocking in the group stages but turned up big vs the states.

Sort of, but I think Radja could have had more impact than Wagner could for Germany.
