Harry Kane insists England can handle the expectation of being one of the World Cup favourites.
Three Lions boss Gareth Southgate’s men are set to be among the top seeds for next week’s draw in Qatar for the tournament which starts in November. England are ranked fifth in the world and will join the likes of Belgium, France, Brazil, Argentina and Spain in the top pot while Germany are set to miss out because they are currently 11th in the FIFA rankings.
It will be a new experience for England who went to the 2018 World Cup without much pressure on their shoulders but Kane admitted being semi finalists four years ago and then reaching the Euros final last summer has raised expectation levels. England captain Kane will lead his nation into the final two friendlies before the World Cup against Switzerland and Ivory Coast but he says the whole squad will be ready and they will not fear anyone.
