Adrian Durham is joined in Atlanta by Stuart Pearce and Jim Proudfoot ahead of England’s round-of-32 clash with DR Congo. The team react to Thomas Tuchel’s updates on John Stones, Reece James, Jarell Quansah and Djed Spence, and discuss how England can break down a stubborn low block. There’s also debate over England’s defensive concerns, Gareth Southgate’s penalty protocol and Jordan Pickford on staying focused, playing indoors and even singing Vindaloo. Plus, a closer look at DR Congo’s Premier League contingent, why so many penalties are being missed, Erling Haaland’s extraordinary international numbers and France laying down a serious World Cup marker.
