Why Yoane Wissa in D.R. Congo’s best weapon against England in last-32 showdown

Djed Spnece: The unexpected rise of a left-back who has found his feet at last

13:00 CET – Good afternoon! The last-32 continues this Wednesday with three matches and plenty of intrigue in each game. 

First up, England will look to find their feet as an attacking side again after struggling to break down the low blocks of Ghana and Panama following their impressive dismantling of Croatia.

However, they will be up against a D.R. Congo side that have made a name for themselves in this World Cup for their quality on the counter-attack and organisation out of possession and in a low block set-up. 

Therefore, it goes without saying that Thomas Tuchel’s side will have to bring more creativity if they want to produce a statement performance in a similar vein to France last night.
