Konstanin Genich comments on England's performance at the 2026 World Cup, highlighting uncertainty in the coaching leadership and the upcoming meeting with DR Congo.
Russian commentator, Konstanin Genich, expressed his opinion about the England national team in the 2026 World Cup after the third match in Group L against Panama which ended with a score of 2-0. Genich stated, "With pleasure and interest, I watched England's game and I couldn't understand who was actually coaching this team: was it Thomas Tuchel or the ghost of Gareth Southgate. There was a moment when Rashford kicked, the goalkeeper saved in the second minute... The shirt was good. Maybe England impressed us too much after the match against Croatia, because after that Ghana locked down the defense. But how will England perform against DR Congo?" Genich said in a video on the "Koment. Show" YouTube channel. The England national team managed to collect seven points and occupy the top position in group L. In the 1/16 stage of the 2026 World Cup final, they will face the DR Congo national team on July 1.
