England 2-1 DR Congo
Harry Kane loves to head the ball so much that he's now scored four headed goals at World Cups.
Only Miroslav Klose with 7, and Gerd Muller with 5, have scored more headed goals at World Cups than Kane, since 1966.

WE WERE CHASING THE GAME. I'd be worried if the midfield and fullbacks weren't pushing on from the defence and leaving gaps. Have to analyse the game in the context of the match, bad first 20mins but that's it, We're through, Relax!

Not alot of people talking about how conceding early forced us to push forward early, commit players and made us look vulnerable. Hopefully going forward we can start stronger and that will make us look more balanced and solid.

England 2-1 DR Congo
Harry Kane has now scored five goals in World Cup knockout matches, the second-most by an Englishman, level with Geoff Hurst.
That is one behind Gary Lineker, who scored six goals in World Cup knockout football.

The audacity to score from that angle, as emphatically as Kane did. That's my #9.

England 2-1 DR Congo
If this doesn't show how much of a legend Harry Kane is, I don't know what will.
Kane has now scored 13 World Cup goals.
He's now level on the all time World Cup goalscoring list with France's Just Fontaine, and has gone past Pele's tally of 12 goals.

Don't want to tempt fate but Diego Maradona's Hand of God happened at the Estadio Azteca where England play their next game.
Not sure if that's a good sign or a bad one.
Either way, we'll chat more about it a bit later.

Come on England. All of the games have been a bit of a patchy, but I think this is the best chance we have had since Moore and Co. You need a bit of luck sometimes. Look at Diego Maradona. Hand of God. Come on Harry!

Have we talked about Kane's winner yet?
Wait, we haven't?.
Well, it's some strike. If you watch the replay Kane doesn't once look at the goal after receiving the ball he just instinctively knows where it is.

BBC 5 Live Breakfast
Former Leicester City and Denmark goalkeeper, Kasper Schmeichel speaking to BBC Radio 5 Live Breakfast about England's win over DR Congo: "[Harry Kane] is the main man for England, he is probably, along with Erling Haaland, the best striker in the world, out and out striker. If there's one player I'd want on my team, it would be Harry Kane.
"So I wouldn't be too concerned yet. I mean I think I think England are or maybe on a slow burner a little bit. They're warming up into the competition. They, like I say, the only real concern is that right-hand side. And if they fix that, then I think they'll be all good.
"The problem for me today was a little bit, particularly on the goal. You have Madueke not tracking back, not helping him out. He needed that support, that help. And I don't know, there's different options. You can move, maybe move Konsa out, or you can move Stones.
"There is options. I think Tuchel is the kind of manager, he'll find a way, I'm pretty sure of that. The other thing you also have to take into consideration, you came up against a goalkeeper on fire. How many times do you see, a lot of those chances go in normally. So this doom and gloom, I am not quite having it because I think in a normal game two or three of them would have gone in anyway, and it would have been a lot easier victory than it ended up being."

Lucky not to be 2 down unlucky not to score 4 We will always create chances and give them away The bigger teams will punish us I'm afraid

Just wanted to add as well, the word legend in my opinion, gets used too much. But in Harry Kane, this country would be lost without him, he is definitely an England legend, up there with Moore, Hirst, Banks, Lineker, Gazza and Beckham

BBC 5 Live Breakfast
Former Leicester City and Denmark goalkeeper, Kasper Schmeichel speaking on BBC Radio 5 Live Breakfast: "At this stage, it's about getting through. Was it a performance that inspired a lot of confidence? No. But when you look at every big team, every big has one big player that turns up, and England have that player.
"The concern was obviously a little bit down the right-hand side. I think that's something that they're going to need to look at. But obviously I didn't have anything on the line, but I wasn't nervous. And I understand, but I wasn't nervous for England because Harry Kane just needs one chance. He doesn't even need one, he needs half a chance.
"I mean, we were talking about the miss against Ghana. None of us could ever remember anything like that happening to Harry Kane. That's a one in a... Not even a hundred, it's a one in a thousand kind of thing, so Harry Kane is in the conversation for me now for the Ballon d'Or, he has to be."

Chris Sutton
Former England forward on BBC Radio 5 Live
I've been to Mexico for the opening game, bit of altitude, it'll be interesting to see how England cope with that.
It won't be easy for England to acclimatise. The bigger deal is Mexico's record is absolutely phenomenal . It's going to be difficult.
I actually thought with regards to the game today listening to Declan Rice I thought he summed it up pretty well, you can never underestimate the opposition. I saw DR Congo draw 1-1 against Portugal and they carry a bit of a threat. For England to win was a big deal. It's knockout football. It's about getting over the line.
The question you want to put out there tonight, where would England be without Harry Kane?
England 2-1 DR Congo
We get a variety of opinions here.
For what it's worth, the underlying numbers point to a 2-1 England win being about right.
The xG was: England 2.04 - 0.8 DR Congo

I thought England were lucky last night, they definitely need to improve to beat Mexico. I think England will do it, but it will be a great close game

Captain Fantastic saved the day - we were gone. We played an awful first half and the subs made a big difference. Team selection was wrong - especially the wide men. Well done Harry Kane!!

Who knows with this England team? Either brilliant or terrible. Mexico will be a very difficult match with the altitude and atmosphere, can't say I'm highly confident but I am hopeful!
