So far, this World Cup has been one of superstars. Lionel Messi has come to play, so too have Kylian Mbappé, Erling Haaland, Vinícius Júnior and even, after a delayed start, Cristiano Ronaldo. The other big-name forward who is living up to his pre-tournament billing in North America is Harry Kane.
England’s captain kicked off his country’s campaign with a double against Croatia in a 4–2 win. Those goals took him to total of 10 scored at World Cups—equalling Gary Lineker’s record for most by an England player in the tournament’s history. He also joined David Beckham as one of only two Englishmen to have scored at three different World Cups.
