How England reached the Round of 32

England advanced to the knockout rounds with seven points after taking first place in Group L. Manager Thomas Tuchel’s side won their opening game 4-2 against Croatia, tied their second match against Ghana at 0-0, and finally defeated Panama 2-0 to seal top spot. Harry Kane netted both the goals for England in the final group game against Panama, which saw him surpass the all-time goalscoring record for England.

England has long been among the World Cup regulars with their quarterfinal appearance in 2022 and semifinal run in 2018. In North America, they are looking to get one step better than those years and bring home the trophy. They have a very talented team of players, including captain Kane, Jude Bellingham, Bukayo Saka, and Phil Foden. All over the field, there will be matchwinners. However, the team hasn’t shown the best of football to this point in the tournament, but they are the strong favorites to win against DR Congo.

How DR Congo reached the Round of 32

DR Congo entered the Round of 32 as one of the third-ranked sides with the top goal averages. And it is a remarkable moment in the team’s history. Their first Group K game against Portugal saw a tense 1-1 tie in which Yoane Wissa scored the first-ever goal for his country at the World Cup. Later, they suffered a narrow 1-0 loss to Colombia. However, in an intense game against Uzbekistan in which they came back to take a 3-1 win, Wissa bagged his second goal, which took DR Congo into the Round of 32. This is the DR Congo's first World Cup appearance since 1974, when they were known as Zaire. The victory over Uzbekistan marked their first-ever win at a World Cup, and their first appearance at the tournament's knockout stage. Coached by Sébastien Desabre, they qualified for the tournament through the most difficult route in qualifying. They are a proud, organised and dangerous team, led by the currently-in-form Wissa, who have nothing to lose against one of the favourites and will travel to Atlanta full of belief.

England vs DR Congo Head to Head

These are two nations with no real history of meeting, so there is little for either side to draw upon and no great rivalry built up. This is a game dictated by the now, and not the then. It is a heavyweight country with World Cup ambitions going up against an underdog that is playing without fear and wants to continue its amazing run.

That makes it an interesting fixture to play out. England has the quality, depth and experience to go into it as firm favourites, and will expect to set the tempo. But DR Congo has beaten the odds already, with draws against Portugal and a victory over Uzbekistan to progress to the next stage. If the Leopards can frustrate England into a mistake and take the big chances, then anything is on the cards, and that will give this knockout tie real spice.

Players to Watch

For England, much of the focus will be on captain Harry Kane, the record-breaking goalscorer and one of the best strikers in the game. He is surrounded by an exciting group of players, who have the quality to win a knockout tie. There is the dynamism of Jude Bellingham in midfield, the speed and finishing ability of Bukayo Saka up front in the wings, and players such as Phil Foden and Declan Rice to add control and flair to the setup. It is a strong team full of quality.

For DR Congo, it will all come down to how Yoane Wissa, the forward at Newcastle, performs, as it was his goals that saw the Leopards through the group stages and it will be his goals that they look to him to produce in this match. He has the assistance of striker Cédric Bakambu, one of the finest African strikers of recent years, and young winger Fiston Mayele, who scored the winner against Uzbekistan. It is a committed team, that will play hard for their country.
