Kane Inspires England After Opening World Cup Win Over Croatia
England began the 2026 World Cup with a 4-2 victory over Croatia, a result that revived hopes the team can finally go all the way. The article says England has often entered major tournaments believing this could be the year it ends its bad luck, but this time it appears to have a stronger case.
Harry Kane was the standout in the first half, scoring twice and becoming England’s all-time leading World Cup scorer. His display drew lavish praise from Gary Neville, who said, "נגמרו המילים לתאר את מה שהוא עושה" and stressed how calm Kane looks in decisive moments.
Neville said Kane is not reckless or rattled under pressure, but instead shows "kבלת החלטות טהורה" when it matters most. He added that Kane is more than just a striker in good form, because he makes scoring in World Cups seem routine.
England, Neville said, has not always been perfect, but Kane keeps carrying the team forward. Those kinds of performances, he argued, do more than win matches, they build belief that "something special" really can happen.
