Harry Kane World Cup 2026 stats and odds: England captain 15/4 to score 2+ goals against Ghana

Harry Kane got England off to the perfect start in their opening World Cup 2026 Group L game against Croatia, scoring a penalty (after a retake) to put the Three Lions a goal up early on.

After being pegged back, Kane then rose highest to plant his header into the bottom corner to put England back in front, and Thomas Tuchel's side eventually went on to win the match 4-2.

The Bayern Munich striker extended his record tally of England goals to 81 as a result, with 10 of those coming in World Cup finals.

Kane is now equal with Gary Lineker in that regard, and has the chance to surpass him should he find the net again against Ghana.
