Kane added: “I’m going to go away and relax for a week with the missus.

“I’ll tick over, I’m not just going to have a week without doing anything, but it’s more about relaxing mentally. Then we’ll meet up with England and have four days together, where we might have a couple of days off, but then prepare for the friendlies and get ready. “The first World Cup I remember was 2002 – England losing to Brazil after going 1-0 up, and other games like Argentina, and the gaffer’s foul [Mauricio Pochettino on Michael Owen].
