This episode is presented by Shaw. The FIFA World Cup 2026 is a sweaty rollercoaster, from close offside decisions to penalty shootouts. I've been there as a player and a fan. Trust me, you need a deodorant that won't ever let you down. Whatever happens, Shaw's got you covered. Check out the Shaw Limited Edition FIFA World Cup 2020 six-packs and for those extra tense moments, the new Shaw Thermo Cool range. You'll find them both in stores nationwide offering 72-hour non-stop protection. Shaw, it won't ever let you down. Hey everybody, welcome to the Fozcast. We've got another belting show for you today. Stay tuned for the quiz at the end. It is world class, we're told by Luke as per usual. We need you to get involved with the comments, ask us loads of questions.
We will do our best to field every single one of them. We're going to start with a little bit of England fallout, aren't we lads? Really impressed by your enthusiasm there, Ben. You look so upbeat. Really sound energetic because the reality is... You might not be. There might be some snacks for a reason on the set. There's some snacks for a reason because we had a day off yesterday and we made our way into Brooklyn. First time into Brooklyn. Brooklyn is incredible, by the way. It is beautiful. It's like a calm New York, isn't it? Yeah. Is that about right, Licky Boy? Very much so. The calmness lured us in, didn't it? It did. It lured us in. And we found our way watching the Canada match. We had a few drinks. What was it called?
The what bowl? The Black Bowl? The Black Bowl in Brooklyn. The Black Bowl in Brooklyn was absolutely fantastic. That got us on our way. And then we found a few more bars afterwards. Oh, my gosh. We're paying for it this morning. We are paying for it this morning. I'm a bit smug because my family are in town. So I was doing the sightseeing thing. Yeah, nice. I'm nice and fresh today. Professional, mate. Professional. Professional. Professional, yeah. But we will still, regardless, get through this like you won't believe, all right? We will deliver A-star grades, all right? Let's get into it, boys. Yeah, right. Okay, so we've got confirmed. So, obviously, when we did the last show, we thought we were going to be playing Senegal for a minute, didn't we?
But now we have got the DR Congo, Dr Congo. Yeah. And what are our thoughts? I'll be very interested to see how Thomas Tuchel approaches it with regards to formation, shape, personnel. Because, I mean, realistically, are they as good as Panama? Would they be as good as Panama? Probably not. I think they will be. I don't know, you know, they've finished third in their group. But look at their group, just quickly, let's just run through their group. They won over Portugal, lost to Colombia 1-0, beat the Uzbeks 3-1. It is a tougher group, for sure. But still, it's not exactly a team that we should be worried about, correct?
i think they've got some better players than than what you think i watched um when we got to the studio earlier i watched the highlights of the game against the long legs and there's some premier league experience in there for sure some real quality and they'll cause us problems because they'll play four four two but it'll be like four two two two which is what we used to play at southampton that like high pressing and the way the way it works And I think if we get caught out on the sides, it could be trouble. So when I was watching the extended clips, I'm thinking straight away, are we going to be offensive with those wingers or more defensive mindset? So I'm not so sure.
What are the key insights about England's lineup against DR Congo?
We can't have a defensive mindset, surely.
No, but I think what... We've said across the whole World Cup and for a long time that the general level is better now, isn't it, than 20 years ago in World Cups. And when we look at it on paper and player for player, yes, we should win. And as England, we should be saying, let's go and win the game. But then when you do dig a little bit deeper get a little bit of scepticism, you kind of go, they are a pretty good team. They've got some good players.
