England enter the 2026 World Cup with big ambitions, aiming for a second world title in history under Thomas Tuchel. Captain Harry Kane remains the team's leader and key figure in attack.
The 32-year-old striker is preparing for the third World Cup of his career after a very good season with Bayern Munich, where he continues to be decisive with the national team, recently reaching 79 goals with the England shirt.
Kane stressed that playing for the national team is the biggest priority and that he feels in great shape for the tournament, adding that the team has high expectations and is ready for the challenge.
"Playing for England is what I love the most. I wear this shirt with great pride and I also wear the captain's armband with great pride. To lead this group to another World Cup is something very special. We have high expectations and I can't wait for the tournament to start," Kane declared to the official channels of the English Federation.
He also commented on the climatic conditions, describing the debates about the heat as exaggerated, as professional players are quickly adapting to the environment. "Honestly, I don't think the heat was a problem. After the first few days of training, most of the players adapted quickly. We are professional athletes and we have to be prepared for these conditions.", concluded the England captain.
With a strong group and a leader like Kane, England aims to return to the top of world football.
