Feel for DR Congo, England didn’t deserve anything from that game. Mexico will beat them comfortably. 

2 shots on target to our 7?

 

[The Bear]

This Wonderwall nonsense is embarrassing AF.

[adam]

Certainly no Heaton park.

Soak it in @bovril

[JonnyZeroFox]

Phew, thank god we have world class players to do that. DR Congo did everything right, their keeper on top form but we found the way. That’s what top teams do 

[bovril]

Leave the karaoke you shitheads and slink off relieved you've beaten the DR ****ing Congo

[FoxesWalk]

Looking at this you’d think it was very comfortable and one sided:  

 

xG 2.04 v 0.80

posession 60% v 40%
shots 16 v 7

on target 7 v 2 

big chances 7 v 1 

 

(I don’t know why stats bodies don’t think wissa chance wasn’t a big chance, presumably because there was a defender on him. I think they had 2 big chances)

Nah, really struggled to break them down, and let’s be honest the first England goal was a goalkeeping error. A team with these players should be dispatching teams like Congo more comfortably. 
 

Anyway, I’ll look forward to them folding like a deckchair against Mexico. 

 

Come off it, you're chatting out your arse 

 

You could argue Congo's opener was a goalkeeping error if we're going there. Their keeper had to make a litany of good stops - like I said England weren't fantastic, they need to buck their ideas up if they want to get past Mexico but they absolutely were the better side tonight and the stats completely back it up.

Ordering a pinata and sombrero as we speak

[EastAnglianFox]

Wonderwall after that 

 

 

[foxfanazer]

Kane saved us from a really embarrassing result there. Anything but convincing yet again but on to the next one

[Jaspa]

Congo looked so vulnerable before the second goal, allowed space. 

 

You'd look at playing Rice at RB if James is crocked. Rashford, Madueke and Spence drop for being crap.

 

Kane is a proper striker, knows how to contact a ball so sweet, as soon as he's found space with a sight of goal he's absolutely lethal. Levels above Rooney.

 

On that performance we're out in Mexico. No acclimatisation, Azteca baying for blood, 3 days, 1700 miles, 7000ft altitude.

[fazzyfox]

Kane didn’t even look once at the goal until after the ball left his foot, Daka stares at the goal and still misses it by a mile 

[whoareyaaa]

Kane is gonna win it for us on his own

****ing insanity

 

People are so blinded against England because they don't like the domestic clubs they play for. How can you say DR deserved anything from that? 2 shots on target, goalie pulling off saves he's never made before in his career. 

 

Have it right they were garbage, don't patronise them.

I do hate England with a ****ing passion, that much is true!

[JonnyZeroFox]

Can say first 25 mins, terrible but improved and patient and found a way.. Saka and Gordon coming on was massive. Bench saved us and Kanes world class ability

I couldn't care less. If we keep winning and it keeps team and fan spirit up I will sing anything lol.

[Trent Steel]

Takings from this dodgy game: 

 

Kane - is the man.

 

When Gordon came on he calmed things down

 

I think Tuchel knows that now

 

P.s. the mexicans are very good

DR Congo gave it all, keeper unbeatable.., the performance was a 7/10 from England… we can be better

Second half was pure attack Vs defence, people are brain dead.
