These pundits are absolute melts. They know absolutely nothing
Buahahaha! I’m here to laugh at those that made fun of Portugal and blamed Ronaldo for the tie with Congo ! 😂😂😂
Soo Portugal 🇵🇹 after all didn’t do that bad against Congo humm 😏
Congo beating these overrated English footballers most overrated players in the planet all play for England
Lmao obviously they never watched England play Croatia. But USA has been playing like 1970s Brazil, right? This is why the rest of the world thinks you guys are a joke.
Strange that the only one talking any sense whatsoever is Geoff. Pointless panel apart from the host
I bet for Congo
Alexander Arnold did not have a good season and if I were the coach I won’t be calling him either. Over the season he looked lost most of the time.
These low block teams are making the world cup boring. If we beat dr you will see a different England.
What is the name of the host? ❤
I am absolutely convinced it is coming home!!!!!
Unpopular opinion: Tuchel's selection and this English team is the only team by design can beat France. The struggling thing is beating other teams leading up to France.
Congo will be destroyed by England we need to think about Mexico now that will the hard one this will be like a training warming up match !If England does not score 3 goals here i would be shocked nothing less is expected. Congo has no threat going anywhere they will sit back and hope to survive the job will be done inside 90 minutes i put all my money on it with no hesitation.
This match will dominance will be similar to the one France had vs Sweden and Norway had vs Ivory Coast and that will send a message to the rest of the competition left.
Wissa and Bakambu have no bite they are done and dusted England can even come with their team B and it will do the job making sure we dont have more injuries for the more challenging matches ahead.
Kane will score trust me its inevitable my prediction England 3-0 this will be a walk in the park dont believe the Media trying to make this match as if it will be competitive or hard its not will be England walking all over Congo …
2-0
Drc 29 clean sheets out of 57 games with their new coach. Low key a good team
20:14 is where the contest is no contest ! If we lose we are the biggest disgrace as an England team ever ! We won’t ! England to win with no great drama ! Lots of people who have never watched a football tournament before obviously
dsont be stupid he brought all injury prone players come on who didnt know that james will get injured?. risk management is a part of management
From ghana 🇬🇭 here..England is beatable…DRC must be very deciplined and resilient enough to pull this upset…That not withstanding European teams are partially favored during open play, all 50/50 balls goes their way fraustrating their opponents. Go DRC viva Africa.
Come on England!
Thomas Tuchel's choice to leave TRENT will be the downfall of ENGLAND
I think Congo gonna shock the world today
Americans lack football knowledge. Ghana and Panama parked the bus, they were scared to attack because they’d be vulnerable.
Croatia was the only team who wanted to play, and we saw how good England can play.
When England plays any team that doesn’t want to sit in their half all game, it’ll open pitch up.
England are not performed well in the wold cup, only one game was good, will fimbu England
Congo will win and knockout England
England will beat Dr. Congo.
🎉GO ENGLAND🎉
These American "pundits" are clueless. They do not realise how difficult it is to play against a well organised team who play eleven men behind the ball, leaving no spaces and with zero attacking ambition. That's why Premier League teams sometimes struggle against a League One team that "parks the bus" !
Come on Congo you got this!! I don't rate England a lot of over rated players with very little technical ability!!
🎉🏴💫
the english are so comically deluded
good odds on congo imho
Congo team will surprise and upset a lot of countries
And so the nation gathers to watch the disaster unfold.
