England striker Harry Kane acknowledged that goals from other strikers have a significant impact on his determination to score more during the 2026 World Cup. In their first game of the tournament, England defeated Croatia 4-2, with Kane scoring a brace. "Of course I saw others scoring, and I don't like to focus too much on others, but it's natural for an athlete to want to achieve the best results. It's clear that all these players are starting very well. As a striker, I want to score as early as possible, so I always keep in mind that competition helps me raise my level. You know, that's what the World Cup is for — so that the best players can perform at the highest level. So it's definitely nice to score some goals," Kane said, according to ESPN. In the next group stage games, England will face Ghana (23 June) and Panama (28 June).
