Thomas Tuchel’s World Cup knockout campaign has collapsed into immediate chaos as DR Congo stunned England with a shocking early goal just seven minutes into their Round of 32 clash.
A catastrophic defensive breakdown saw a simple ball over the top flicked on by Chancel Mbemba, leaving Brian Cipenga completely unmarked by English right-back Djed Spence. Cipenga ruthlessly hammered the ball low into the near post, catching goalkeeper Jordan Pickford entirely out of position and sending the Atlanta Stadium into absolute pandemonium.
The early disaster leaves the Three Lions staring down a historical curse: England has failed to win a single World Cup match after conceding first since the iconic 1966 final against Germany. With Thomas Tuchel already facing heavy scrutiny for benching star winger Bukayo Saka in favor of Noni Madueke, England is looking completely scattered and faces an uphill battle to save their tournament.
