Harry Kane becomes England’s record World Cup goalscorer

Harry Kane just rewrote England football history, becoming the nation's all-time record World Cup goalscorer with his 11th strike against Panama on Saturday, June 27, 2026. This historic header, assisted by Jude Bellingham, sealed a crucial 2-0 victory for the Three Lions in the ongoing FIFA World Cup 2026, pushing them confidently into the knockout stage. This milestone surpasses the legendary Gary Lineker long-standing record of 10 goals, cementing Kane's status as a true English icon and a driving force in their 2026 World Cup campaign. Coming after a brace against Croatia in the tournament opener, Kane's consistent scoring form is pivotal for an England squad under immense pressure to end their decades-long wait for a major international trophy. The win over Panama at MetLife Stadium also ensured England topped Group L, setting them up for a potentially more favorable draw in the Round of 32. With Kane now on three goals for this tournament and displaying peak form, all eyes will be on England as they prepare for their Round of 32 clash against the Democratic Republic of Congo on Wednesday. His pursuit of the Golden Boot and England quest for World Cup glory will dominate headlines, adding significant anticipation to every match. As the tournament progresses through its North American hosts (United States, Canada, Mexico), Kane's ability to continue breaking records could be the key to England deepest run in years.
