DR Congo lost the game, but they won our hearts. ❤️

I’m genuinely heartbroken for DR Congo.

Just imagine it—DR Congo’s squad is worth 13 times less than England’s, yet they dominated England for the opening 30 minutes with modern, fearless, all-round football. They even took the lead through a brilliant team goal that showcased everything great about the game.

Now imagine this: despite the massive gap in quality and resources, DR Congo held onto their lead until the 75th minute. Their goalkeeper delivered a heroic performance, and they were just moments away from one of the greatest upsets in World Cup history—on the eve of the 66th anniversary of their independence.

But England have the best striker in the world.

Harry Kane changed everything. He scored twice, completed the comeback, and was the main reason England survived.

To produce a performance this courageous against England in your first World Cup appearance in 52 years, and keep English fans on the edge of their seats until the very last second, says everything about this team.

DR Congo may be out, but they represented Africa with immense pride. ❤️
