England vs. DR Congo – What to know before kicking off in Atlanta

England are the clear favourites, but DR Congo have shown they are not going quietly. DR Congo took all four points in the group stage at this World Cup by coming from behind to lose positions, which tells you everything about their mentality.Yoane Wissa scored 75% of DR Congo’s goals at the 2026 FIFA World Cup, three out of four, on average every 90 minutes in the tournament. This 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 across all competitions. The World Cup has made him a different player and England’s defense will have to reckon with him from the first whistle.England have a problem at right-back, with Reece James and Jarell Quansah 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 top scorer at the FIFA World Cup with 11 goals. A goal today would take him level with Geoff Hurst on four knockout stage goals for England, with only Gary Lineker, who scored six, netting more in the knockout rounds for the Three Lions.The winner of that match will face Mexico in the round of 16 after Mexico beat Ecuador 2-0 on Tuesday.

Belgium vs. Senegal – De Bruyne versus a side that keeps scoring

Belgium went 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 the group. Kevin De Bruyne captains a side that has finally started to click in the group stages and Seattle’s Lumen Field is giving them a proper stage.However, Senegal are a real threat. Senegal won their final group stage match over Iraq 5-0 to advance as one of the best teams in third place in the tournament. Ismaila Sarr and the forward line make them dangerous in transition. Belgium’s high defensive line looked vulnerable at times and Senegal will look to exploit exactly that.Winner of Belgium vs. Senegal will play the winner of USA vs. Bosnia and Herzegovina in the Round of 16 in Seattle on July 6.

USA vs. Bosnia and Herzegovina – USMNT at home with everything to play for

The United States have already secured top spot in Group D heading into the final round of fixtures, and head coach Mauricio Pochettino will have plenty to think about after losing 3-2 to Türkiye in the group stage final, a game that meant nothing in terms of qualification but raised questions about defensive consistency.Bosnia and Herzegovina arrived at this World Cup via third place in Group B. Qatar finished bottom with just one point after a 3-1 defeat by Bosnia in the group stage, showing they had moments but were erratic. Switzerland dismantled them 4-1 earlier in the group and enter the knockout stages as heavy underdogs against an American team that plays effectively at home.Levi’s Stadium in Santa Clara has a capacity of over 68,000 and will be heavily pro-American. The USMNT knows this. They also know the bracket that follows: beat Bosnia and the next opponent is the winner of Belgium vs. Senegal.
