Kane, who is joint third on the World Cup Golden Boot table, spoke on the Mexico clash and fan dedication which he thinks will be at it’s peak on Sunday night and Monday morning. 

“Obviously good news that the pubs are staying open for the fans,” Kane said. “We know how much the World Cup means to everyone and all the fans at home. 

“So I’m hoping there will be a few all-nighters to be honest, just going all the way through, and celebrating until the next day and then catch up on some sleep after that. 

“It’s very late, and we all appreciate the support. That’s what sometimes makes the World Cup so unique, these different timings and different memories that you create. 

“Everyone would love nothing more than to be celebrating as the sun’s rising at 5am or 6am.” 

Prime Minister Keir Starmer extended the weekend when he announced that pubs can stay open until 5am earlier this week in an effort to raise support. 

Kane will has his mind on the England support but also the Golden Boot where he has the chance to cement himself in history if he can keep his form up in the latter stages of the competition.
