10 Reasons Why England Can Win World Cup 2018
7. Harry Kane
Goals win games, and Harry Kane is exceptionally good at scoring goals. Only the outrageously prolific Mohamed Salah managed to outscore Kane in the Premier League this season, with the 24-year-old netting 30 times in total, with 11 more strikes in other competitions. He's won the Premier League Golden Boot twice already and scored 5 goals in England's unbeaten World Cup qualifying run.
Kane has only appeared at one international tournament, Euro 2016, where he was bizarrely used as England's corner kick taker. Gareth Southgate definitely won't be employing the same tactic and Kane now has the experience and confidence he needs to go into this World Cup as one of the most feared forwards on the planet. His well-taken goal in England's friendly against Nigeria demonstrated his scoring talents once again.
The Tottenham man is being talked up by experts and analysts as one of the best all-round strikers in the game right now. With him on the pitch, England will always be in with a chance of scoring, and that's exactly what the squad has lacked in past tournaments. If Kane can start firing, there's no telling how far the team can go.
