Not just the scoreline but England not looking great so far at the first ad break. DR Congo doing well to keep the ball and drawing fouls
We are all DR Congo fans on this blessed day
Ugh. And it had to be a gorgeous one from Kane, too.
an absolute wild fact:
This is the second victory of England in their entire world cup history when they conceded first. Last time it was in the final of 1966 WC vs West Germany
England when conceding first: 2W 5D 17L
It’s coming home confirmed.
Jk jk

I’ve never been a fan of Tuchel and he’s not doing anything to change my mind.
