## Resource

England are into the World Cup 2026 round of 16 after Harry Kane's brace sinks DR Congo 2-1, and Seb, Rory and Tobes break down why this is finally Kane's iconic England moment: the header, the back post volley, and the debate over whether he really dropped deep enough to deserve the credit. Then it's a full sweep of the rest of the last 16: Germany's exit, France are a joke, Brazil and Norway grinding through, Morocco's penalty shootout thriller and more!
