Will Congo DR win the 2026 FIFA World Cup?

DR Congo sit in the “fun to dream on, easy to fade” bucket, and the whales are treating them exactly like that. A lot of cash on the "NO" side... hmmm interesting... I mean look, they’re back at a World Cup for the first time since 1974, when they appeared as Zaire, and they’ve dropped into Group K alongside Portugal, Colombia and Uzbekistan. That’s not a dead draw: Portugal are expected to win the group, Colombia are the clear second seed, and DR Congo show up as a third‑choice outsider that models still give a very real shot to sneak into the knockouts in an expanded 48‑team format where good third‑place teams survive.
