Kane matches Rooney's 120 England caps, nears Shilton's record

Harry Kane has reached a significant milestone, equaling Wayne Rooney's record of 120 international appearances for England. This achievement places him second only to goalkeeper Peter Shilton in the number of times he has represented his country.

Kane marked this occasion by starting in England's quarter-final match against Norway in Miami. The Bayern Munich striker expressed immense pride in reaching Rooney's cap count, a player he considers one of England's greatest. Kane also indicated his ambition to continue his international career and see how much further he can go.

Beyond his cap count, Kane's scoring record for England is exceptional. He is the nation's all-time leading scorer with 85 goals, far surpassing Rooney's 53. Kane also holds the record for most England goals in World Cups, with 14, and has scored six goals in the current tournament, surpassing Gary Lineker's previous record.

Despite his prolific goal-scoring and numerous appearances, the ultimate prize, a trophy with the national team, remains elusive for Kane. England reached the Euro final twice during his tenure, losing to Italy and Spain. The team also reached the World Cup semifinals in 2018 and was eliminated in the quarterfinals in 2022.

I am extremely proud to reach the same number of international games as Wayne, one of the greatest players in England's history.
