Harry Kane Eyes Major Trophy After Euro Final Defeat

Harry Kane still carrying the pain of England’s Euro 2024 final defeat to Spain is more determined than ever to help his team win a major tournament. The Bayern Munich striker, set to earn his 99th England cap against the Republic of Ireland in the UEFA Nations League on Saturday, spoke about the lingering disappointment from the 2-1 loss in Berlin but emphasized that it fuels his motivation.

Kane, now 31, draws inspiration from football legends like Cristiano Ronaldo, Luka Modric and Lionel Messi aiming to prolong his career at the highest level. As England begins a new chapter under interim boss Lee Carsley, Kane expressed optimism, though he acknowledged the initial awkwardness of Southgate’s absence. Carsley stepping in after Southgate’s resignation post-Euro final will manage England in two Nations League matches.

Strong performances could help him secure the role permanently. Wins against Ireland and Finland could bolster his case. Despite the recent setback, Carsley doesn’t view this as a reset, noting that England’s standards are now much higher than when Southgate first took charge. He believes the team is well-positioned to push for major silverware though he refrains from singing national anthems during matches as part of his personal routine.

Harry Kane also praised the influx of young talent with uncapped players like Tino Livramento and Noni Madueke eager to impress. For Kane, this marks an exciting chapter in his nine-year international career blending youthful energy with experienced leadership as England looks ahead to future challenges including the 2026 World Cup.
