Charlton Reserves Belgium have named their World Cup squad. Januzaj is in.
Goalkeepers: Thibaut Courtois, Simon Mignolet, Koen Casteels, Silvio Proto
Defenders: Toby Alderweireld, Anthony Vanden Borre, Laurent Ciman, Vincent Kompany, Daniel van Buyten, Thomas Vermaelen, Nicolas Lombaerts, Jan Vertonghen
Midfielders: Axel Witsel, Steven Defour, Marouane Fellaini, Moussa Dembélé, Nacer Chadli, Kevin De Bruyne, Eden Hazard, Dries Mertens, Kevin Mirallas, Adnan Januzaj
Attackers: Romelu Lukaku, Divock Origi.
Reserves: Nainggolan, Pocognoli, Hazard, Gillet, Batshuayi, Van Damme
A very strong starting 11 if they gel. Not sure about strength in depth though so may not cope well with injuries/suspensions.
Also strange to see only 2 'attackers' in the main squad! Shows how over-reliant they are on their attacking midfielders.

Ha. I think the plan is to drop one GK as another of them might not be fully fit.

Will sort out Groups E, F, G & H tomorrow and add Australia, Greece & Croatia as well missing stand-by players when they are announced. Then do a overall post on June 2 when all squads are trimmed to 23.
I know you like your Italian football mate, what do you make of their squad.
Don't recognise a lot of their players. Have they changed since they beat us on Pens 2 years ago?
Pretty happy with it, 1 or 2 players I would have changed but good picks. There's quite a few young players, for instance Immobile is the top scorer in Serie A, there's still the tried and tested lot such as Buffon, Chiellini, Barzagli, Pirlo there too who you need in a tournament like this.
I think and hope Italy can get to the semis my only doubt is how Prandelli will set them up each game.
