“Estoy sumamente orgulloso de alcanzar el mismo número de partidos internacionales que Wayne, uno de los mejores jugadores de la historia de Inglaterra.”
“El primer lugar de esa clasificación pertenece ahora al guardameta Jordan Pickford, quien alcanzó los 18 encuentros mundialistas tras disputar el partido de cuartos de final frente a Noruega.”
“Harry Kane igualó este sábado las 120 internacionalidades de Wayne Rooney con Inglaterra, lo que le sitúa como el segundo futbolista que más veces ha representado a la selección de los 'Tres Leones', solo por detrás del portero Peter Shilton.”
“Kane también es el máximo realizador de Inglaterra en los mundiales, con 14 goles.”
