Kane Aims to Break England's Title Drought at World Cup

England captain Harry Kane is determined to end the national team's decades-long wait for a major trophy, expressing optimism as the team advances in the current World Cup.

“

It has been an extremely successful period for our national team. We want to go all the way. That's the piece we're missing right now.

"It has been an extremely successful period for our national team. We want to go all the way. That's the piece we're missing right now," Kane told the BBC. He added, "We're knocking on the door. It's going to be a big week."

We're knocking on the door. It's going to be a big week.

England, whose only major title came at the 1966 World Cup, has reached the finals of the last two European Championships but suffered defeats in both. At the World Cup, they reached the semifinals in 2018 and the quarterfinals in Qatar four years ago.

We showed quality in periods, but it wasn't good enough. In the end, we found a way to win.

Kane acknowledged that England's performance against Norway in their recent match was not flawless, despite securing a 2-1 victory after extra time. "We showed quality in periods, but it wasn't good enough. In the end, we found a way to win," he said. He praised Jude Bellingham, who scored both goals, including the winner in extra time. Bellingham himself described the performance as a "masterful performance in a different way" due to the team's "fighting spirit and will."

The difference was again Jude with two goals at the right times. That's what secured us the win. We could have played better - especially with the ball.
