Atlanta —
It seems like the 2026 World Cup is serving up new and better forms of drama every single day now that the knockout rounds have finally arrived.
Wednesday has been no different.
England needed two late goals from captain Harry Kane to storm back and hold off a determined team from the Democratic Republic of the Congo, earning a 2-1 victory that narrowly avoided one of the biggest World Cup upsets in history.
And in the subsequent game, Belgium scored two goals in three minutes to force extra time against Senegal and eventually scored the winning goal on a penalty with just minutes left in the match.
