There’s an electric atmosphere across Leeds pubs as the Three Lions take on the Democratic Republic of Congo for a place in the last 16 of World Cup.

The action is happening in Atlanta, Georgia, and the 5pm kick-off has seen some Leeds fans slip away from work for the round of 32 clash.

Harry Kane will lead the attack as he aims to keep on the coat-tails of the world’s best stars in the race for the Golden Boot.
