FIFA World Cup 2026 :Canada/Mexico/United States: Discussion Thread

[Gost ms]

Yeah, crazy shit! Congo wins 1-0 against England! If England loses, this will be the craziest World Cup I can ever remember!

I honestly don't know what to say!

But as I wrote earlier: "Coming home or going home."

We'll see what happens next, but the match is definitely worth watching!

This match is really going to end very unexpectedly, although there is still a lot of time to finish but the current result is not acceptable. I thought maybe England would score a goal early and another goal in the second half to complete the match. But now I see that Congo scored a goal early and England are not able to do much. Although England are trying a lot to score and they are attacking a lot but they are not succeeding. England are trying a lot to break down Congo's defense but they are failing and not getting much results. Hopefully now we will see something good from England and they will win the match

England is terrible. I don't like the way they played. They are always passing the ball here and there, but no right direction to score. Even DR Congo has a better stats compared to them. Honestly, it's much more enjoyable to see DR Congo's gameplay instead of them.

Even their players already got two yellow cards. I can't imagine if their players get red cards. I think England may become another european nation that leave from the World Cup if no improvement happens.

Absolutely terrible. Honestly, I don't like watching them, because they don't usually play to their standard. With the look of things right now, they might likely play a draw again. I can still remember how they struggled against Ghana last time, and at the end of the day it was a full-time draw.

Of course, I think everything is possible at this stage, because there's not much improvement in the game. I'm just regretting why I didn't bet on them, because I knew that the game would quite tough for them. Anyway, let's see how it goes.

A world cup full of surprises I was very surprised to see the results of this first half, Congo's superiority over England ruined the betting market and of course many were backing England over Congo as a dark horse, England played badly tonight bringing big names but it was all powerless in tonight's match, disappointing !!

This proves that in every game, not only the strong teams will perform well, sometimes the weak teams can also defeat the strong teams. We have understood this well in the previous match in Germany. However, in today's match, Congo scored against England within the first seven minutes of the first half and England has not yet paid for that goal until the end of the first half. However, I think England has enough ability to score against Congo, let's see which team wins in the end.

I hope it will be a draw and in the second half England can score a goal, I understand that the Congolese defense is very strong and solid so I hope England can take advantage of every moment when they get a chance, otherwise this year's World Cup will be England's unlucky year and also their first defeat against Congo.

It’s going to be very crazy if DR Congo eventually wins this match but there’s still a lot of time in the game for England to come back and maybe win it but the Congolese are trying their best to defend.
What if Congo becomes the second African team to qualify.

Mexico has been superb and Quinones has been an interesting talent in this tournament. Mexico is the only team yet to concede in this tournament. 4 games 4 clean sheets.

The match isn't over yet, but I think all the sportsbooks are already celebrating the idea of England going out. I'm sure this will be one of the darkest days of this World Cup for the vast majority of bettors if the game ends with this score. There are still thirty minutes left, so personally, I think there's still a chance for extra time, and maybe England can somehow escape this hell in a penalty shootouts.

[mandown]

Time is running out for England. Tuchel has swapped his wingers; he took off Rashford—the former Barcelona player—and sent on Gordon, the new Barcelona player, in his place.
The Republic of the Congo is also launching counter-attacks. If England doesn't find an equalizer, DR Congo could score a second goal.
I don't think England expected to face a team like this.

Congo is playing really well than anticipated. The way in which they are marking the England players and their defense is one of the best I have seen in this World Cup. The entire credit goes to their goalkeeper who has stopped many goals now. England is trying to find a way to score a goal and Congo is trying for a counterattack.

I placed a huge bet on England to win and I wish to see a goal from England now.

[LUCKMCFLY]

CR7 isn't actually showing his full potential. He played well in one match and scored two goals, but in the other two matches he wasn't very effective. The players are marking him well. We're not seeing the old, high-quality Cristiano Ronaldo anymore. Of course, this is quite normal because he's now 41 years old. Nevertheless, even his participation in the World Cup shows us how involved he is with football.

Well, I can't tell you otherwise because I've seen the same thing, but he should play more like a false 9 than a striker. A striker has to run much more and the work he does isn't visible, but as a false 9 it is. So I think he should play like that, that way he handles the ball more and can do more things, but as a striker he gets swallowed up by the pitch. I don't know, he should do it that way.

[Mayor of ogba]

It would be two if Wissa's attempt ain't hitting the post. I admit England is starting to gear up, and they creates some attempts, but Lionel Mpasi is their biggest obstacle. Mpasi is so damn good as a goalie. He does everything to ensure his club is not conceding. It seems the name of Lionel is boosting Mpasi's performance.

So i think 2nd half will be more interesting because England will do everything to ensure they equalize the score.

England was lucky that Wissa's attempt that hit the post wasn't a goal otherwise it would have been over for them. England had a good chances at the dying minutes of first half they would have used to at least equalize, but Mpasi saved all their efforts to deny them a chance of bringing the match on level terms. Mpasi's performance in the first half was outstanding, and if he keep up with the same performance in the second half, England World Cup campaign might be cut short by DR Congo.

One more goal from Dr Congo and their victory has been sealed. This is really unexpected, I'm happy for the African side, I pray they don't perish near the end of the final whistle, 70 minutes already, with 20 minutes more plus extra time, DR Congo can give us the best shock of the tournament, England which is World Cup favorite knocked down in the round of 32, go!!! go!!! Congo for the win.

Did England take Congo lightly? I think so. England didn't do their homework well. They probably underestimated Congo and thought they could win easily.

Congo are performing well. I couldn't imagine this team playing so well. England's players are attacking a lot. But they can't break down Congo's defense. At the same time, Congo is also able to launch some strong counterattacks. Even after 72 minutes, England still can't equalize the match. They keep trying. But Congo's players are very confident. I wouldn't be surprised if the match ends 1-0.

[martinom]

France is a fantastic team. They have the power to beat any team. They put on a magnificent performance against Sweden as well. Several of their shots hit the post. Despite that, they scored three goals. Mbappé was the star of the match with two goals. The race for the top scorer title continues.

France is the strongest team in this World Cup, there is nothing better than them at the moment, i must say that there are some very strong teams that are close to them but they are still very far from being defined as a team that can win the World Cup, in addition to the fact that they have an impressive attack.

[Tmoonz]

I don't know for every other person but I think England has made the worst mistake by letting DR Congo score first because I'm seeing them being kicked out of this tournament by an unexpected team like DR Congo, because they are definitely gonna play eleven men defense and the game is almost over as it is 70+ minutes, and if by chance DR Congo knocks England out of this tournament trust me those guys has won my heart, either they win the trophy or not, I will forever regard them for a job well done in this year FIFA world cup.

73 minutes gone, impressive defense from Congo in this big game against England. Things are now looking like fans are going to be watching another big early elimination from this World Cup for Europe. England is facing the toughest challenge after having a goalless draw against Ghana in the group stage game.

Even I am optimistic about England's comeback in this game, but Congo is surely having an impressive display of soccer in this game against England because it has never been easy for them to perform like this against a top-ranked team like this.

[Mehmet69]

England are desperate to score in the second half, and the pressure is increasing on England as time goes on. I thought DR Congo would play a lot of defense today, but I never thought their defense would be so strong. African teams are showing a lot of strong competition with the big teams in Europe in this World Cup. They have already drawn with Portugal and defeated Uzbekistan to reach the knockout match. So I don't think of them as a weak team anymore. In the 75th minute of the match, Harry Kane scored a goal for the first time after a slight mistake in the DR Congo defense line. And with this, Harry Kane proved that he is a world-class forward. Every time I see DR Congo's defense line in today's match, I am surprised. England's defense line is not able to distract the defense line in any way. Today's match can go to a penalty shootout.

It is truly painful to watch England's lackluster attack and poor decision making on field. What actually happened was that Congo's early goal and brilliantly organised defence completely surprised them. The story of a World Cup upset has been in the making since the start of this World Cup.

But there is still time. England's players have the ability to turn the match around with their individual skill. But for that they will have to show aggression and creativity on field quickly. This 2026 tournament is going to be one surprise after another! What do you think the scoreline of this match could be? Will it be a 1-1 draw at full time?

In the 75th minute, Kane equalized the score for England. Gordon made a great assist. It was a perfect pass.

England players are still attacking. This match was very enjoyable. We didn't see many goals. But both teams were able to attack a lot. Congo players probably lost confidence. Now their counterattacks are relatively slow. 90 minutes will probably end 1-1. But England are increasing their attack speed. They will try their best to finish the match in 90 minutes.

[disbil]

Dramatically, England comeback after Harry Kane scoring the second goal at 86th minutes from amazing goal and make England one step closer get next round ticket, conceded at the early minutes and still losing 1-0 from DR Congo at first half match make England playing full offense at second half match.

Several substitution success make England games play better from Antony Gordon assists for the first and second goals scoring by Harry Kane, need waiting for few minutes later to know England can defend the victory after comeback and leading 2-1 or DR Congo make the match have to play until extra additional time.  Nice games for England have good mentality after losing at first half match and success comeback.

Kane has doubled his goal and put England in the lead. The goal came in on the 86th minutes to make the scoreline 2-1. Kane is the first player in England to score twice in one game since 1990. Kane has also carried his team on his shoulder and he scored the two goals at the right time to save England from playing under pressure all through the game.

The game is on additional time and I don't think that it would be extended to extra time since Congo will find it difficult to get an equalizer with the limited time.

[tygeade]

So far France did not shocked the world, they are going very strong and looking like they are going to win the whole thing, every single game they played very well and they look like they are going to win very easily, if nothing shocking happens.

I think With things like Morocco and Netherlands game, and Paraguay vs Germany game, we had some unexpected games where we lost a lot of money, this one was good that we made some of that back, France helped us make some money back at least. I think they are going to do fine for a while, I do not see any teams that can stop them so far. Spain used to be the one I thought they may, but even Spain doesn't look as good right now. Argentina may, like last time, but that's not until Finals, and even they do not look as good as France right now.
