England captain Harry Kane recently shared his “surreal” experience of playing golf with former US President Donald Trump, just as England gears up for their World Cup quarter-final against Norway. Trump’s support came after he played golf with Kane in Palm Beach 18 months ago, and he praised Kane not just as a great footballer but also for his golfing skills. Kane, 32, expressed his surprise at Trump’s ability on the golf course, especially impressive at the age of 80, and felt honoured by the unique invite.
With this unusual encounter making headlines, England is focusing on facing Norway in Miami. Manager Thomas Tuchel has been rallying his squad to step up their performance, emphasising the need for bravery against challenges like Norway’s standout player, Erling Haaland, and the intense Miami heat. England had a close call in the knockout stages, but after their thrilling win against Mexico, Tuchel insists his team is ready. He draws parallels to the unpredictability of the Premier League, turning adversity into motivation.
Tuchel stresses that now is not the time to hold back, with the team needing to connect with their identity and push forward with courage. The quarter-finals demand fearlessness, and he believes that luck favours the brave. For England, it’s all or nothing as they aim to move one step closer to the semi-finals. Will their courage lead them to victory? Let us know your thoughts on this upcoming clash!
