Big ambition: Bayern star Kane dreams of World Cup glory with England | OneFootball

Harry Kane is one of the most successful strikers of his generation – but he is still missing a title with the English national team. For the 32-year-old, one thing is clear: the 2026 World Cup in the USA, Mexico, and Canada is meant to be the moment when his greatest dream comes true.

“That’s always the goal,” Kane says in an interview with the Daily Mail. “It would be the greatest thing to lift the trophy in New Jersey.”

With 29 appearances at major tournaments, Kane is already England’s record player in this category. He leads the team not only as captain but also as an emotional driving force. Under new head coach Thomas Tuchel, the striker firmly believes that the “Three Lions” can finally achieve what has narrowly eluded them in recent years.

“Tuchel has a great track record at major tournaments. That’s what matters.” Kane talks about the team spirit that Tuchel has created within the squad. England wants to use the lessons learned from defeats in recent years – the final losses at the European Championship and the unfortunate exits at the World Cup. “We’ve come close before – now we just need to take one more step.”

Team Spirit, Experience, and Determination

Kane is convinced that experience and mentality will be decisive factors on the road to the title. The clear 5-0 victory in qualifying against Serbia is an example of the potential within this team: “That was at a really high level, and that’s the standard we have to set for all the games to come.”

He reminds us that the road to the World Cup is long and full of challenges, but that’s exactly where the appeal lies. “We’re at the foot of a mountain – there will be many ups and downs. But what we’re building is this sense of togetherness.”

He sees his experiences at the Club World Cup in the heat of the USA as valuable: “The heat was tough, but it’s good to know what it’s like. You have to find ways to adapt and win.”

For Kane, one thing is clear: England has the quality, the experience, and the hunger to make history in 2026. And if the captain maintains his current form, the chances are good that he will finally be able to lift the biggest trophy in world football to the sky in the summer of 2026.
