England, the clear favourite in the final qualifiers, will face the Democratic Republic of Congo on Wednesday at 18:00 CET. Despite the odds, the hosts warn that they must not underestimate the African side, which has already tested Portugal and Colombia in the group stage, drawing with Portugal and losing narrowly to Colombia in the 76th minute.
With unexpected results in other knockout ties, England's confidence is tempered. The game will be a test of England's resolve against a determined DR Congo side that has shown it can compete with top teams. beltedkingfisher.blog
