England winger Anthony Gordon spoke enthusiastically about his teammate Harry Kane after the 2026 World Cup round of 16 match against the Democratic Republic of Congo, which he won 2-1. "For me, Kane is the best player to ever wear the England shirt. His ability to score in any way is simply extraordinary. Give him the ball anywhere on the pitch and he will score. It's incredible to be next to Harry every day, he's having a season that has surpassed even Lionel Messi, the greatest player in history. When you're around a person like that, you want to learn from him and watch his every move to understand why he's at that level. Harry is an inspiration to us all," Gordon said in an interview post-game. Recall that Gordon provided two assists to Harry Kane in the match, allowing the English national team to advance to the round of 16 of the 2026 World Cup. England's next match is scheduled for July 6, when they face Mexico.
