Yeah.

And a slightly smaller question mark, Joao Felix is obviously still there.

Which Joao Felix turns up?

The prolific Joao Felix or the Joao Felix that looks like he's never played football before?

insane really yeah yeah and actually barry they do the group looks friendly doesn't it yeah so dr congo are in the group managed by sebastian de saab it's their first world cup in 52 years obviously uh dr congo massively populated country but it's a constant conflict there

Most of their players are European, born in Europe.

They've got Aaron Van Besak, Axel Thunsebi, Johan Wisse, who has not had a good season by any standard since his move to Newcastle.

They're a resilient team.

They're tactically disciplined.

I think much of their realistic path to the knockout

involves getting a result against Colombia in the second game and then beating Uzbekistan.

And I don't think that's out of the question.

Oh, they also have Sunderland's Arthur Masuwaku.

Bracket, I think, is the word we're using these days, isn't it?

Well, he was appointed after they qualified.

Uzbekistan have a history of glorious failures and near misses when it comes to qualifying for the World Cup.

They're at this one.

Abdoukadour, Kushinov, Man City defender is obviously their best-known player.

They're expected to be a tough watch, trying to grind out draws and nick goals on the break.

But it would be a surprise if they finished anywhere other than bottom.
