England vs DR Congo: World Cup round of 32 match details
England are through to the knockout stages of the World Cup, with DR Congo up next for Thomas Tuchel's side in the round of 32. The Three Lions finished top of Group L after an unbeaten but at times unconvincing start to the tournament. A fine opening win against Croatia saw them put four goals past the 2018 finalists, but celebrations turned to frustration as they were held to a goalless draw against Ghana in their second game in Boston. It then took second-half strikes from Harry Kane and Jude Bellingham to beat Panama 2-0, but it was enough to see England finish top of their group and set up a knockout clash with DR Congo, in what will be the two sides' first-ever meeting on the international stage.
The African side finished third in Group K behind Colombia and Portugal, having held Cristiano Ronaldo's side to a draw before beating Uzbekistan 3-1 in their final group game. With a round of 16 clash with Mexico awaiting the winner, here's everything you need to know about watching tonight's game.
