Congo’s “Set-Piece Threat”—England’s Most Feared Tactical Weapon

Congo’s attack isn’t just about Wissa’s counterattacks. Their set pieces are also a threat.

In Congo’s group-stage 4 goals, some came from penalties. Congo’s back line is tall and strong—Mbemba, Wan-Bissaka, and Tuanzebe are players with extremely strong ability to contest. In corner-kick and free-kick attacks, they pose a huge threat.

England’s defense may be solid, but they’ve had scares against Ghana and Panama. If Congo wins a set piece in the attacking half, England’s penalty area will be extremely dangerous.

In expert predictions, “both teams to score” is an option that’s mentioned repeatedly. Congo has the ability to get a goal against England—whether in open play or from set pieces.
