Kane has high hopes
Such are England’s riches that Kane admitted it would be a major letdown if England don’t lift the trophy in Berlin next month.
“If we don’t win, we’re going to be disappointed,” he added.
“As much as you can be unlucky and go out on penalties, we really want to win and start winning as a national team because we have been taking steps towards this moment. It is going to be tough, we know that, but we’re…
