England team joins in fan Wonderwall sing-along

England manager Thomas Tuchel has spoken about wanting to continue the work former boss Gareth Southgate did in building a connection between fans and the squad after years of dismal tournaments.

Under Southgate, England reached the World Cup semi-finals in 2018 as well as the European Championship finals in 2021 and 2024 as fans rallied behind the squad.

Kane is one of three players, alongside goalkeeper Jordan Pickford and defender John Stones, to remain in the side from 2018.

The 32-year-old, whose two strikes against Croatia saw him equal Gary Lineker’s record of 10 World Cup goals, says he is enjoying the “freshness” of Tuchel’s squad.

“This one feels a little bit different. Our roles have changed a little bit obviously, being the more experienced guys, the older guys,” mentioned Kane.

“There’s a freshness about it, where you can really see a hunger, a desire and excitement from the players in the team just to kind of be part of what could be obviously a special summer.

“You see us around the place, everyone getting on, everyone being with each other, spending time together, but also you see it in training – the way we train, the intensity we train at the competition for places, but there’s no anger towards your competition.

“It is literally, let’s just compete for the place and whoever plays will play and I’ll be ready to come on and make a difference when I get my turn.”

England’s next match in Group L is against Ghana in Boston on Tuesday at 21:00 BST.
