Euro2016: England need to keep same mentality - Chelsea defender Cahill

Chelsea defender Gary Cahill feels that England will have to keep the same mentality as they have shown in the group games in the knockout stage of Euro2016.

Roy Hodgson's side qualified for the last 16 as the second-placed side in Group B and will take on Iceland in the next round in Nice on Monday.

Cahill says the Three Lions cannot be fazed by their 0-0 draw with Slovakia in their last fixture and must maintain the same mindset in order to score goals in the remaining stages of the competition.

"We have to go again and I think show the same mentality that we've shown in the first three games," he said.

"I'm not making excuses because we've had the majority of chances and the stats show that we should be winning the games.

"The positives are all there. We are going out there on the front foot and take the game to them.

"I've never been involved in such a one-sided game as that second half against Slovakia and in the next game we should go out there and do something similar."
