So far, the two biggest powers in European football have been eliminated from the 2026 World Cup, Germany and the Netherlands. England are worried that the same fate will happen to them. England will face DR Congo in the last 32 on Wednesday.
England has not won a major trophy for 60 years. In this regard, coach Thomas Tuchel has warned his players. In the form of Congo, England has a team that has nothing to lose. He says, “It is great for a team like Congo to reach this point.”
After Germany and the Netherlands were defeated in penalty shootouts, one fact has been established in this World Cup and that is that a small mistake in the competition means going home. England have two players who can be called world-class and these are Jude Bellingham and Harry Kane.
Congo's team is said to be amazingly formed. Its World Cup squad has 26 players. Of these, 20 players were not born in Congo. Many of them were born in France. For example, forward Yona Bissau. He is a familiar name in the English Premier League.
Defender Aaron Wan-Bissaka was born in London. He played for England up to U-21. Similarly, Axel Tanzebe also played for England at the age group level. Congo coach Sebastian Desabre believes that the journey so far for his team is also a great achievement.
So whatever pressure there will be, it will be on England.
