WHY ENGLAND CAN WIN THE WORLD CUP! SIXTY YEARS ago, England won the World Cup and they’ve not won it since. But this summer, they can finally bring it home – and here’s why… RE AS ON 1 RE AS ON 2
They’re getting closer!
England are now genuine tournament heavyweights. Across the last four major international tournaments – the last two World Cups plus the Euros and Copa America – only Argentina have won more games than the Three Lions!

HARRY'S TOP TIPS
How YOU can look after your mind!
N A C E “W ” ! T I WIN HARRY KANE on Thomas Tuchel, his tournament memories and why England can win the World Cup!
HARRY KANE GUEST EDITOR
ME!
Our squad is as good as ever! Firstly, Harry, the BIG question: can England win the World Cup? HARRY SAYS: “I think we have a very good chance, and we hope to win, for sure. Our squad is as good as we’ve ever had – when you look at the players and the depth, we’re going to go into the tournament as one of the favourites. For me, I feel that I've stepped up another level and playing the best I can, and I hope to continue this at the World Cup!”
What has Thomas Tuchel brought to the team?
GAFTHE FER !
HARRY SAYS: “Thomas came into the team with new ideas and his style of playing. You can see from the World Cup qualifiers, we didn’t concede a goal, and winning eight games out of eight created a strong belief and set momentum going into the World Cup. I love Thomas’ energy, the way he sees football and his tactics. I think with him as a manager, we have as good a chance as any!” I love Thomas’ energy!

What's the dream for you personally this summer?
o win My dream is Ct up! the World
HARRY SAYS: “Ever since I was a kid, II’ve always wanted to play for England aand be captain. The fact that we’ve bbeen so close in previous tournaments ddefinitely motivates me even more and tto try and go that one step further. My ddream would be to win the World Cup, aand as a striker, I hope to help the team wwith as many goals as possible!”
armbThe and!
What would 10-year-old Harry Kane think if he could see you today? HARRY SAYS: “Great question! I think 10-yearold Harry would be extremely proud. It was something that I had dreamed of as a child. I remember meeting David Beckham as a kid. He was and still is a player I looked up to, and he was captain at the time. I remember feeling inspired by him to follow in his footsteps. There is no better feeling than leading my team out at a third World Cup and I can’t wait!”
England's No.9!
S! K C BE World Cups are just special ! Finally, talk to us about World Cups, Harry! HARRY SAYS: “My earliest memory of watching a World Cup was in 2002. Because of the time difference in Japan, we got to watch it in the assembly hall at school. I remember watching David Beckham, Paul Scholes and Michael Owen and dreaming about one day playing for England and captaining my country. The World Cup is just special; it brings everyone together all over the world. And being able to play in it is just an incredible feeling!”

England v Lithuania, Wembley March 2015 HARRY SAYS: “It’s hard to put into words how it felt to score 79 seconds into my England debut. It’s what I dreamt about as a kid, and I was able to live that moment at Wembley in front of my family, friends and the incredible home crowd. It’s a memory that me and my family faamily will ch cherish herishh forever! forever!”
Dream Debut ! Greenwich, London March 2005 HARRY SAYS: “I remember being so excited to meet David Beckham! He was opening his academy close to the O2 and pupils from his old school’s sports teams were invited. We got David Beckham tracksuits and trainers, and then we got to meet and have a kickabout with him. The girl next to him is actually my wife – we went to the same school. It’s a really nice picture to have back at home as it brings back some nice memories!”

England v Tunisia, Russia June 2018 HARRY SAYS: “Scoring my first World Cup goal was such a special feeling. It was also the first tournament where I was captain for England. I was really proud of the team; we’d done a lot of work and I remember it being a tough match. And to score in the last moments gave it that extra excitement. I was absolutely buzzing!”
2 n o w e W
!
Scotland v England, Hampden Park June 2017 HARRY SAYS: “Before I became an England player, I was an England fan. During most major tournaments, I’d watch England matches with my family on the big screen. We loved England, we loved watching England and we were big England fans. Leading the team out was an amazing honour. To lead the lads out for the first time was special – like it still is!”
Wembley Stadium, London September 2018 HARRY SAYS: “I look back at this photo with fond memories. I wanted to prove to myself that I could score at the highest level, on the world's biggest stage. I’d scored at every other level, and it was important that I did that. I am still extremely proud that I managed to win a Golden Boot at the World Cup!” p! My World Cup Goolden Boot!
My second-half pen!
England v Colombia, Russia July 2018 HARRY SAYS: “This was our first win in the knockout stages of a major tournament since the 2006 World Cup. Being part of the team that did this is an incredible feeling. Winning on penalties, which we hadn’t done for some time, made it extra special to reach the quarter-final!”
17
England v Germany, Wembley June 2021 HARRY SAYS: “I look back at photos from Euro 2020 and remember how good it was playing at home in front of the fans. The atmosphere was just incredible. And the game against Germany was just an amazing day. To hear Wembley like that was a moment none of us will forget. It was the perfect game for us. The goal was massive for me and the team, not having won against Germany for a while. I remember loving every ery secon second nd of the ma match!” atchh!
Buckingham Palace, England March 2019 HARRY SAYS: “I remember my wife, Kate, had called and texted me just before a match. I thought something was wrong! But Kate was excited and told me that we’d had a letter from the Queen saying we’d got an MBE. It was a surreal moment hearing that. It was a proud moment for me, Kate and the whole family, as we’re part of a journey together. And it showed that the hard work has paid off!”
2 Englandy 0 German
Italy v England, Naples March 2023 HARRY SAYS: “Playing for England is probably my greatest feeling in football. I want to do it for as long as possible. So, becoming England’s greatest ever goalscorer was truly incredible! It was even better by breaking the record with a win against Italy, who we hadn’t won against in a long time. It was an amazing night. I can’t wait to score many more goals for England!” g and!
What a night!
England v Denmark, Wembley July 2021 HARRY SAYS: “Scoring to get us through to the final of the European Championships was incredible. It was the first time England were through to a European final, and at home at Wembley. It’s still one of the proudest moments in my life, for sure!”
20
England v Netherlands, Germany July 2024 HARRY SAYS: “Looking back at this photo, it makes me proud, knowing that I helped my team get to another European final. It was the next penalty in an England shirt that I took in a major tournament after the one in the 2022 World Cup, so it made it extra special when I scored and made it level. The support from our fans was amazing throughout the tournament. It wasn’t our time in the final, but we have the World Cup this summer to look ook forward to! to!”
England v Slovakia, Germany June 2024 HARRY SAYS: “Scoring the goal that got us through to the Euros quarter-final was an amazing feeling. But I also remember Jude’s overhead kick, who scored before me. I mean, for me, that was probably one of the best in our country’s history. The support we had at the game and throughout the tournament was just incredible!”
The Euro 2024 semi-final!
England v Albania, Tirana November 2025 HARRY SAYS: “It was a great achievement to secure qualification for the World Cup with the boys, especially with two games to spare and conceding zero goals. We had worked so hard together as a team under Thomas, and we wanted to make sure that we secured qualification. I love the US, and having a tournament out there is even more exciting. I can’t wait to begin, and I hope that we can go that one step further!”
England v Finland, Wembley September 2024 HARRY SAYS: “Getting my 100th cap for England was a dream come true. A really, really proud night to do it at Wembley Stadium. For my family to also be watching from the stands, it was one of my proudest nights in an England shirt, for sure. And to score two goals to win the game, I couldn’t have asked for a better night. I love representing my country and hope I can achieve many more caps!”

Wayne ROONEY
HARRY SAYS: “Wayne Rooney was also someone I used to watch growing up. Seeing what he did for England – and then being lucky enough to play with him, and for him to be my captain was amazing. He is one of the greatest English players of all time!”
HARRY KANE GUEST EDITOR
Becks was my hero!
David BECKHAM
HARRY SAYS: “David was my idol growing up – being England captain and one of the best players in the world. He went to the same school as me and I met him when I was young – I’ll remember his Greece free-kick forever! He was just someone I really looked up to, he played with so much passion, and because of the way he conducted himself on and off the pitch, I really appreciated him – he was the perfect example for me!”
24
One of En greatest o gland’s f all time!
Cristiano RONALDO
HARRY SAYS: “He’s also one of the greatest ever players in history. To score over 900 goals in your career is an incredible record, and to play at his age is really inspiring. I think that helps me and motivates me to know that I’ve got many more years ahead at the highest level!”
He’s incredible!
Sir Bobby MOORE
To do what Sir Bobby did would be special!
HARRY SAYS: “I think for an England captain to win a World Cup is inspiring and it’s in my dreams and something I want to be able to achieve one day – hopefully at this year’s World Cup! To be able to do that would be pretty special!”
I loved watching R9!
RONALDO
Lionel MESSI
Love his hunger!
HARRY SAYS: “Both he and Ronaldo were people I looked up to growing up. They were in their prime as I was coming into my teenage years – when I was coming into football and really wanted to improve. To see Messi’s hunger and determination; a desire to keep proving people wrong and showing yourself that you can be the best you can be!”
HARRY SAYS: “Being a striker, I used to love watching strikers growing up and I remember watching Brazilian Ronaldo. I think he’s one of the best to ever do it. He had a great mix of goalscoring ability but also affecting the game with some of his skills – like dribbling and some of his runs. He was one of the greatest No.9s!”

Believe in yourself! I launched the Harry Kane Foundation because I wanted to help transform a generation’s thinking about mental health. I’m not an expert on the subject, but I wanted to use my platform to work with some amazing charities to encourage people to look after their mental health and not be afraid to ask for help. As an athlete, I know how important mental health is to my performance and overall wellbeing. We should look after our mental health in the same way we look after our physical health. I've got four kids now, so I know how important it is to educate and support the younger generation. Growing up, I had big dreams to become a professional footballer, but it wasn’t an easy journey. There were times when things didn’t go my way, when I was put out on loan or sat on the bench, but it was in those moments that I learnt about being resilient and having self-belief. I want every one of you to know that your mental health matters. It is okay to not be okay sometimes – what matters is how we support each other and bounce back.
MY TOP TIPS FOR YOU!
Have self-belief. Talk to others when you need to. Enjoy playing a sport or taking part in physical activity. Celebrate the small wins. Look after your mental health, be your best and never be afraid to ask for help.
