England captain Harry Kane predicted the heat "won't be a factor" thanks to his team's World Cup training regimen.

Ranked No. 4 in the world, England will open the tournament against Croatia on Jun 17 in Arlington, Texas.

The Three Lions will play a final tune-up against Costa Rica on Wednesday in Orlando, Fla.

"To be honest, I don't think the heat's been too bad," Kane told reporters after a 1-0 friendly win against New Zealand on Saturday in Tampa, Fla.
