ENGLAND | WORLD CUP 2018 | KANE #9 {HOME KIT} NIKE VAPORKNIT Player Issue

This shirt celebrates Harry Kane was named in the 23-man England squad for the 2018 FIFA World Cup and was made captain. On 18 June, Kane scored both of England’s goals in a 2–1 win over Tunisia, his winning goal coming deep in injury time, in the team’s opening group game of the World Cup. In the next group game on 24 June, Kane scored a hat-trick in England’s 6–1 win over Panama, which was England’s largest ever World Cup victory. With his three goals against Panama, Kane became the third England player to score a hat-trick in a World Cup match, after Geoff Hurst against West Germany in the 1966 final and Gary Lineker against Poland in 1986. Kane scored his sixth goal of the finals as England overcame Colombia in the Round of 16. Scoring a penalty in a match that finished 1–1 after 120 minutes, also scoring in the penalty shoot-out as England prevailed 4–3; this was the first time that England had managed to win a penalty shoot-out at the World Cup. Kane didn’t score again for the rest of the tournament as England finished in fourth place after losing 2–0 Belgium in the third place playoff. However, his six goals in the tournament earned him the Golden Boot as the top goalscorer of the World Cup, the first England player to win the award since Gary Lineker became the first to do so in the 1986 tournament.
