## Resource

England boss Thomas Tuchel and goalkeeper Jordan Pickford have been speaking to John Murray ahead of their Round of 32 tie against DR Congo. They talk about their expectations from a side that have impressed so far at the World Cup. And with penalty shootouts being ever present in this round so far, they discuss how they've prepared for that and whether they'll follow the blueprint set by Gareth Southgate. John is also joined by former England goalkeeper Paul Robinson and they talk about how England will benefit from playing in an air conditioned stadium, but how this will not continue if they beat DR Congo.
