THE LOWDOWN — THE FULL HISTORY
THE RECORD
Harry Kane became England's leading World Cup goalscorer, passing Gary Lineker's total of 10, which had stood alone for 36 years.
THE TALLY
Six goals in 2018 (two against Tunisia, a hat-trick against Panama, a penalty against Colombia), two in 2022 (Senegal, and a penalty against France), then a brace against Croatia to draw level and the record-breaker against Panama in 2026.
THE TEAM
The film looks at Thomas Tuchel's squad, the deepest England in a generation, and the weight of sixty years since 1966.
