England fans were on the edge of their seats as their team struggled to find an answer to DR Congo’s early goal. However, Harry Kane took over, scoring a 75th-minute header to level the score and then hammering down the nail with a staggering goal just over 10 minutes later.
Kane’s Impact on the World Cup
This is hardly Kane’s first dance with the national team, having represented England since 2015 and captained the team in both the 2018 and 2022 World Cup. He won the Golden Boot in 2018, but something feels different this time. Rather than simply being a brilliant finisher and leader-by-default, this iteration of Kane feels more willing and able to put the team on his back, especially when the chips are down.
Kane is having as big an impact on this World Cup as anyone, with the only other player who could lay claim to that title being Kylian Mbappe, who is tied with Kane atop the Golden Boot rankings. Both stars feel emblematic of their teams in ways they haven’t in the past.
