The DR Congo made their 2026 World Cup debut with a 3-1 victory over Saudi Arabia, scoring three goals in 25 minutes and showcasing an attacking style of play that has previously seen off Germany and the Netherlands at previous editions of the tournament. The Congolese's aggressive style contrasts with England's favouritism. The Three , managed by Gareth Southgate, topped Group C with three wins, but the pressure for results could weigh heavily in a match against a side that has already taken the world by surprise.
