England vs DR Congo – What to know before kickoff in Atlanta
England go in as clear favourites, but DR Congo have shown they won’t go quietly. DR Congo earned all four group stage points in this World Cup by coming from behind in losing positions, which tells you everything about their mentality.Yoane Wissa has scored 75% of DR Congo’s goals at the 2026 FIFA World Cup, three out of four, averaging a goal every 90 minutes in the tournament. That matches exactly what he produced in the 2025-26 club season for Newcastle United, where he scored three goals but averaged just one every 301 minutes in all competitions. The World Cup stage has made him a different player, and England’s defense will have to count for him from the first whistle.England have a problem at right-back, with Reece James and Jarell Quansah both doubtful through injury and Tino Livramento already out of the tournament. Thomas Tuchel did not include Trent Alexander-Arnold in his World Cup squad, leaving the Three Lions light on options in that position.Harry Kane is now England’s all-time leading scorer at the FIFA World Cup with 11 goals. A goal today would have him level with Geoff Hurst on four English goals, with only Gary Lineker, who scored six, having netted more in the knockout rounds for the Three Lions.The winner of this match will face Mexico in the Round of 16 after Mexico beat Ecuador 2-0 on Tuesday.
Belgium vs Senegal – De Bruyne against a side that won’t stop scoring
Belgium go into this match as favourites, and it’s not hard to see why. Belgium’s 5-1 win over New Zealand was enough to seal top spot in their group. Kevin De Bruyne is at the controls of a side that finally started to click in the group stage, and Lumen Field in Seattle gives him a next stage.Senegal, however, is a real threat. Senegal won their last match of the group stage over Iraq by a score of 5-0 and advanced as one of the best third-place teams in the tournament. Ismaila Sarr and a forward line full of pace make them dangerous in transition. Belgium’s high defensive line looked vulnerable at times, and Senegal will look to exploit exactly that.The winner of Belgium vs. Senegal will face the winner of USA vs. Bosnia and Herzegovina in the Round of 16 in Seattle on July 6.
USA vs Bosnia and Herzegovina – The USMNT at home, with everything to play for
The United States had already sealed top spot in Group D heading into the final round of games, and coach Mauricio Pochettino will have plenty to think about after a 3-2 loss to Türkiye in the group stage final, a game that meant nothing in terms of qualification but raised questions about defensive consistency.Bosnia-Herzegovina came to this World Cup through third place in Group B. Qatar finished rock bottom with just one point after a 3-1 defeat by Bosnia in the group stage, showing that they had moments, but they were erratic. Switzerland dismantled them 4-1 earlier in the group, and they enter the knockout stages as heavy underdogs against an American team playing effectively at home.Levi’s Stadium in Santa Clara has more than 68,000 seats and will be heavily pro-USA. The USMNT knows that. They also know the bracket that comes next: beat Bosnia, and the next opponent is the winner of Belgium vs. Senegal.
