England Fans Erupt as Kane Scores Early Against Croatia
England opened the 2026 World Cup with a strong start, as Harry Kane converted an early penalty against Croatia and sent supporters into celebration. The goal raised Kane’s England tally to 80 and gave the Three Lions an immediate lead in Dallas.
The reaction was not limited to the stadium. A public screening near Wembley Stadium in London also turned into a loud celebration after the goal, with the crowd reacting so loudly that the report joked the noise may have carried all the way to Dallas.
The article frames the moment as an encouraging start for England, while noting that it is still too early to say whether the team will bring the trophy “home.”
