Belgium manager Roberto Martinez Said in press confress that Lukaku had a scan which “brought us good news” but added facing England was “one day to early for him”.”I don’t think it is going to take any longer than that,” the former Everton manager said. Southgate feels the fact his country last won outside of the group stages at a major tournament in 2006 should override any plotting on the behalf of his youthful and in-form side. “We think that we need to keep winning football matches and we want to breed a mentality where everyone in our squad wants to constantly win,” he told a pre-match news conference. “We’ve not won a knockout game since 2006; why we’re trying to plot what would be a better route for our semi-final is beyond me “First and foremost, I think it’s really important that we are building a team that everyone at home can see are passionate about playing for England and want to win every time they go out.” England are level on points, goal difference, and goals scored with Roberto Martinez’s team.
