Roberto Martinez exclusive: Belgium's Euro 2020 progress as Lukaku stars, De Bruyne, Hazard return

Roberto Martinez is a man of his word. Before Euro 2020, he promised he would sit with ESPN to do a long interview. After Belgium booked their place in the round of 16 -- they face Portugal on Sunday (stream LIVE on ABC/ESPN+, 3 p.m. ET) -- we talked for more than half an hour in which he dissected his team and reflected on the unique circumstances around this competition. He was smiling a lot too, because there is something special between the two of us, mostly because of the rivalry between France and Belgium.
