Bro, there was contact on his left leg but I agree with you on England scoring at least one goal in the second half. Funny enough I feel a defender may score a header.
I said it, I know either Kane or Bellingham would score

African teams and the wahala of sustaining success.
It is exceptionally difficult to contain for 70 minutes. Their counterattacking strategy was non existent.

England should find a way to win this game...!

Cos ehn... The fallout from losing to an inexperienced less fitted African team will be a historical stain that will stay with them for decades to come.

Right now, Scotland and all their neighbors are already trolling them relentlessly. tongue
Oga Angel, which yeye stain? Dem carry two heads?

As my people will say, " na snake pikin wey dey snake belle dey kill snake".. Some of the DR Congo players na dia small pikin nao.
Chancel
Bissaka
The Man U reject in defence amongst others.

Most importantly, it is good for them to know that African football is growing and not as they left it when Zaire were murdered when they went for the first WC.

If all of them like including Oga Charles, make Dem no chop dis night.

Arteta and Pep been doing it every season tho.
Although with a world class striker like Harry Kane,England will always have a chance and opportunity to score goals like Kane's equaliser just now.
This is just due to individual player brilliance and not due to any magic by the coach.

I'm really happy for Kane.

Kane knocked it in for England. Remains one more.
Re: England Vs DR Congo: World Cup 2026 Round Of 32 (2 - 1) On 1st July 2026 by Rayjay45: 6:42pm On Jul 01
This is the thing with playing defensive all game trying to defend a goal

You can't go the whole 90 without making mistakes.

Arsenal tried it against PSG and all it took to destroy our plan was a rush of blood to Mosquera's head.
Re: England Vs DR Congo: World Cup 2026 Round Of 32 (2 - 1) On 1st July 2026 by heartofcity12: 6:42pm On Jul 01
The game changed the moment Rashford is replaced with Gordon, and Saka has been a positive impact too

Oh my world.

Kane scored the simplest of goal
Looks simple bro...but I tell you...its down to that backline forgetting how dangerous he can be...he also was stealthy so those two Congolese defenders were caught napping....

Those who made Portugal and England favourites are very wicked. What are those two playing in the world cup to ever think of putting them favourites? grin
Nope, they were rated before the world cup starts which is normal, but so far they haven't shown anything

I never said it was easy... But, wasting chances or parking the bus after winning backfires more often than not.

Why not keep the pressure for some more time at least.

Now, see am... England has equalized.
It seems u dont play football.....

Ur team must have the depth in terms of key players to keep pressure...

If u dont have that...u ve to park the bus.....and hope for the best.

Now imagine its France ..Argentina or Spain.. that has a one goal lead...

They will never park bus becos they have good depth...

Agreed .

The Congolese won't be shy from this fight.

They would rather go out on their own shield

They became so casual after the second half started... This is what I said earlier.

It's all too common with African teams, including Nigeria.

Mexico took the lead against Ecuador, but kept the pressure up till they sealed the game with that second goal.

Congo had the chance to do just that in this game, but chose to be relaxed and defend needlessly.

Like, how do you think you can defend against England for 90 minutes?!!

Pity... England has won this game.
Re: England Vs DR Congo: World Cup 2026 Round Of 32 (2 - 1) On 1st July 2026 by heartofcity12: 6:45pm On Jul 01
Congo is ruining themselves by playing Haram football, see the number of players defending just a goal, there’s never benefit to it

I wonder when African teams will start disgracing European teams in World Cup games? Only Morroco is trying for now.

Was almost thinking Congo will do it again

Congo should substitute their No 20. He is doing nothing in the last 30 mins. Not involved in the attack.. not defending either

Na the reasons Arteta went corner kicks on the MFs. Who get time dey pull hair for frustrating low-block teams.


But instead to learn, they'd rather hate him for it.
No mind dem. Hatred no go let dem learn.
Make Dem wait for us next season. They be complaining while we winning.

I play football sir.

Parking the bus is not the issue, but Congo had these people on the ropes for several good minutes, and kept tossing chances away.

It's game over!

A lot of these African teams will just take the lead or equalize, the next thing is to start defending or casually tossing away chances. undecided

I wonder why they don't take the chances to kill off games.

DR Congo should have buried this game by now.
And it has come back to hurt them
