After a stunning 4-2 victory over Croatia in their opening match, Harry Kane expressed his joy at singing ‘Wonderwall’ with fans in Dallas, labeling it as one of his cherished moments in World Cup history. Following the win, the team, including Kane, paraded around the impressive Dallas stadium, filled with approximately 70,000 fans, showing their gratitude to the supporters.
Reflecting on the experience, Kane, aged 32, shared, “Singing ‘Wonderwall’ with the fans was a special moment for me in an England jersey, especially at a major tournament. We understand the significance of such moments to the fans, and they understand how much it means to us.”
Kane also disclosed a heartwarming gesture from David Beckham, who congratulated him on equalling his record of 115 caps, placing him as the third-highest capped player alongside Wayne Rooney and Peter Shilton. Kane expressed his pride in achieving this milestone, particularly matching the number of caps held by his childhood idol, Beckham.
Jordan Pickford, aged 32, paid homage to the fans, acknowledging their passionate support and predicting increased backing in the upcoming group stage matches. He emphasized the special connection between players and fans, aiming to create more memorable moments for them.
Furthermore, the World Cup organizers designated ‘Chase the Sun’ by Planet Funk as the official ‘England song’ post-games, a track that gained popularity during the World Darts Championship. Pickford light-heartedly mentioned the association with the pop group Darts but appreciated the celebratory vibe it brought to the team.
