Trump Praises Harry Kane After World Cup Victory
US President Donald Trump praised England striker Harry Kane following his successful penalty conversion in the second half of the match against Mexico, which resulted in a thrilling 3-2 victory for England in the 2026 FIFA World Cup. This victory allowed England to advance to the quarter-finals.
Kane's goal increased his tournament tally to six, placing him just one goal behind Erling Haaland, Kylian Mbappé, and Lionel Messi in the competition for the Golden Boot. In a post-match statement, Trump referred to Kane as a "great player" and highlighted his achievement of scoring the highest number of goals by a European player in major international tournaments, including the World Cup and Euro.
Kane has been involved in a total of 81 goals across 63 appearances for club and country. He is on the brink of breaking the World Cup record held by Gary Lineker, potentially becoming England's all-time leading World Cup scorer.
England also made history by defeating Mexico at Estadio Azteca, a venue where Mexico had previously remained unbeaten in 10 games.
