England hardly covered themselves in glory in Saturday’s 1-0 win over New Zealand. Conversely, the pre-World Cup friendlies are designed to gain match fitness ahead of the tournament proper.
Harry Kane scored the only goal of the game for the Three Lions in the first of two friendly meetings ahead of their first group stage game against Croatia on June 17th.
Kane continued his rampant goalscoring form for club and country against New Zealand. He’s now scored in 12 of his last 14 appearances.
It’s a run that includes a hat-trick in a 3-0 DFB-Pokal final win over VfB Stuttgart. The England captain proved he has the mettle to fire his side to glory.
And England should be no different. The Three Lions to win the World Cup and Kane to be top scorer is at 20/1 with LiveScore Bet*.
England themselves have one of the strongest squads at the competition, while head coach Thomas Tuchel is a master when it comes to navigating tournament football.
This could be the year football comes home. Kane would be the one to show the way.
Back England to win the World Cup and Harry Kane to be top scorer at 20/1
*Odds correct as of 7/6/26
