Gary Lineker says Harry Kane is “the greatest English striker we’ve ever had” after the England captain equalled Lineker’s long-standing World Cup scoring record. Kane reaches 10 World Cup goals by scoring twice against Croatia in Dallas, matching Lineker’s total of 10 goals set during his own 1980s World Cup career. Multiple outlets report that Lineker made the comment following Kane’s brace and the record milestone. The coverage emphasizes that Kane’s achievement comes in an England match where he scores two goals against Croatia, bringing him level with the England great’s World Cup record. While the reactions focus on Kane’s standing as a striker, the central point across the reports is the match-linked moment in which Kane ties Lineker’s mark of 10 World Cup goals. No sources presented conflicting details about the number of goals, the opponent, or the record being equalled.
