Belgium Release 23-Man Squad For The World Cup And It's Absolutely Stacked

Belgium manager Roberto Martinez has decided to take the likes of Adnan Januzaj and Nacer Chadli to the World Cup this summer, while the injured Vincent Kompany has been included despite injury.

Crystal Palace striker Christian Benteke will not play at the tournament after a hit and miss season in the Premier League.

But the fact that some questionable names have been included instead of Roma midfielder Radja Nainggolan is still causing debate among fans.

Roberto Martinez announced his 28-man Belgium party which included the likes of Chelsea pair Thibaut Courtois and Eden Hazard, Spurs' Jan Vertonghen, Manchester United duo Marouane Fellaini and Romelu Lukaku as well as Manchester City's Kevin De Bruyne, to name but a few.

However, the talents of Nainggolan failed to appear in the list.

Belgium have failed to raise any international titles, with their best World Cup run coming in 1986 which saw them reach the semi-final before losing to eventual winners Argentina.

But expectations are high considering the impressive players at Martinez's disposal, which consists of two of the most influential players in the Premier League in the shape of Hazard and De Bruyne.

'The Red Devil's' open their World Cup campaign on June 18th against Panama, before facing Tunisia then England.

Can Belgium win the World Cup this summer?
