England Fans Roar as Harry Kane Strikes Early Against Croatia
England made a strong start to the 2026 World Cup with Harry Kane scoring a precise penalty early in the match against Croatia. Kane, the national team’s leading scorer, raised his tally to 80 goals for England and immediately lifted the fans in Dallas.
The celebrations were not limited to the stadium in Texas. At a screening at Wembley in London, the crowd also erupted after Kane’s goal, with the noise described as so loud it may have been heard in Dallas.
