Yay

Their defence is fab, but phew !
I hope it doesn’t go to penalties though

I think the goalie helped it in

Phew. Now another one, or two, please!!

Hooray!! But Fml they make us sweat for this 🤣

Thank fuck for that

I still believe!!!!!!!!!

I swear on my life… I missed that goal ..because I went to the loo.

Don't rest on your laurels

Now let’s seal the deal in normal time!

I missed the goal too

Fooooookin 'ell!

<breathes out>

Yep, we don’t need any extra time now

Go again!

I could not bear extra time or penalties

Thank fuck for that

This

This

Anybody who went to the loo when we scored then please get back in there!

Engerrrrrrrrland ⚽️

This is unbearable isn’t it !

I dont think i could cope with extra time and def no pens

Their goalie is too good for penalty shoot outs !
( biting my fingers now )

I am HERE for Geography based World cup trivia

England v DR Congo is the only World Cup Round of 32 game where one country’s highest mountain was named after a member of parliament of the other.

DR Congo’s highest point, Mt Stanley (5,109 m / 16,763 ft), was named after Sir Henry Stanley (‘Dr Livingston, I presume?).

Stay tuned for more cutting-edge, geography-based World Cup analysis.

I’ll try my best..I feel the pressure!!
