Dedryck Boyata

Would be great if Boyata makes their squad and gets some game time.

 

So is he going then?

 

I google translated the article and there's a mattress with his name on it.

 

Belgium's final World Cup squad appears to have been inadvertently revealed during a television report over team preparations.

Public broadcaster VRT showed footage of mattresses being loaded up by a Belgian bedding company before their departure for Russia with labels indicating the player for which they were designated.

Belgium coach Roberto Martinez has named a provisional squad of 28, which will be whittled down to 23 on Monday after a friendly international against Portugal on Saturday.

However, based on the mattresses, the cut has already been made, given there were only 23 on show.

The indication is that goalkeeper Matz Sels, defenders Christian Kabasele and Jordan Lukaku, midfielder Leander Dendoncker and winger Adnan Januzaj will not be flying to Russia.

Their absence would not be a great surprise, although it would confirm the inclusion of some of the more fringe players in the squad, such as defender Dedryck Boyata or forward Christian Benteke.

Belgium will also play friendlies against Egypt and Costa Rica before opening their World Cup campaign against Panama on June 18. Their group also includes England and Tunisia

 

He's obviously brilliant in training since he keeps getting in the Belgium squad and Rodgers has stood by him since he came in. Love to see him get some game time and how he handles the pressure, can only improve a player by getting that kind of experience.

 

how does dendoncker not make that squad

but congrats and good luck to bhoyata! Dont let us down son!

 

So with Boyata in does that mean we get close to a million now

 

Well done DeBo!

 

Looks like a vampire attack.

Boyata ahead of Dendoncker. Wow.

 

Dendoncker is a midfielder.

 

Best of luck big man! Became one of my favourite players throughout this season, and I had completely written him off previously. Hope he gets some game time.

 

Utterly dreadful defender, constantly caught under the ball, times his jumps woefully, can’t pass for *. An awkward looking *. His only positives are he’s quite strong and reasonably fast, evidenced when he chases someone down after losing the ball to them. People say he hasn’t made many mistakes - he’s been bailed out by good goalkeeping or * finishing.

Just off the top of my head; At least twice against that utter donkey morelos he * up horrendously, timed a tackle terribly got robbed and was only spared by that ugly freak somehow fluffing the chance.

How the * * he’s in a World Cup squad let alone a good team like Belgium is astounding.

 

Shoosh.

 

Who have the got for Lb as always thought jordan lukakua looked good for lazio

 

Some Friday night mate.

 

Dedryck Boyata killed my weekend.

 

Thought he'd make it..

Hope the big man does well and gives him the confidence to kick on for us. I'm sure he'll play some part as Belgium are nailed on to reach the knockouts..

Isn't as bad as made out on here..
