England captain Harry Kane has joined his squad stateside for the 2026 FIFA World Cup, gearing up for a quarter-final clash against Norway. It’s his third World Cup, he’s Bayern Munich’s striker, and he holds the record as England’s all-time leading goalscorer with over 60 international goals.

You can guess.
