- Harry Kane called England's 2-1 win over DR Congo in Atlanta "our best game of the tournament," specifically praising the team's attacking play as the peak of their World Cup showing so far.
- England advanced in the FIFA World Cup 2026 knockout rounds with a 2-1 victory over DR Congo played in Atlanta, per Kane's post-match assessment.
Why it matters: Kane's public endorsement of the attacking performance suggests England feel they are hitting form at the right stage of the tournament — the knockout rounds — after a group phase he implies was below this standard, which raises expectations for their next fixture.
