Attack, attack, attack: Goals shouldn't be a problem for this side

Belgium boss Marc Wilmots has named his 23-man squad for Euro 2016 - and there are plenty of familiar faces for Premier League fans in it.
No less than 12 English-based players have been selected in a squad filled with attacking talent.
Goalkeepers Thibaut Courtois and Simon Mignolet will be joined by Tottenham duo Toby Alderweireld and Jan Vertonghen and their fellow defender Jason Denayer, while midfielders Mousa Dembele, Marouane Fellaini, Eden Hazard and Kevin De Bruyne also make the final cut.
Up front, Wilmots has also added Romelu Lukaku from Everton and Liverpool duo Christian Benteke and Divock Origi.
Chelsea target Radja Nainggolan is in as expected and there's also a place for Jordan Lukaku - Romelu's younger brother.
One of the pre-tournament favourites, Belgium will face Italy, Republic of Ireland and Sweden in Group E.
The Belgians have not tasted success in a major tournament since they won gold at the 1920 Olympics on home soil.
