England vs DR Congo

This week on Finding a Football Club, nepotism reigns supreme as Luke is joined by the man to blame for his existence, his dad, Paul. The pair join forces for a post-match reaction to England’s narrow 2-1 victory over DR Congo in the Last 32 of the 2026 FIFA World Cup.Despite advancing to the Last 16, the mood is predictably cynical. The duo dissect Thomas Tuchel’s stubborn tactics (and lack of a waistcoat), Jordan Pickford’s shakiness, and Noni Madueke’s entire being. Miraculously, Paul admits he has finally converted into a Harry Kane believer, a tactical revelation brought on entirely by playing eFootball on the PlayStation.Naturally, the elite football analysis falls off over claims Nico O’Reilly has only played four Premier League games this season, Sol Campbell is a type of soup, and Morgan Gibbs-White is something you’d buy at B&Q.To wrap things up, Paul rattles through his World Cup bracket. He confidently backs Mexico to dump England out at the Azteca, plots a France vs Brazil final, and concludes with a questionable ‘Brazilian connection’ involving a rash.
