Jude Bellingham has called Harry Kane Englands greatest ever player and said no-one has shown up more for his country after the pair scored in a 2-0 win over Panama to win World Cup 2026 Group L. Real Madrids Bellingham broke the deadlock in the 62nd minute before crossing for Kane to break Gary Linekers record of 10 England goals at the finals, netting for an 82nd time internationally to move 29 clear of any other Three Lions player in history.Ive built a good relationship with Harry over the last four or five years, said Bellingham. Its an honour to play with him.Hes the best England player of all time. Hes the one whos shown up more than anyone more than any England player.Its quite easy to play with him. Hes at a level thats incredible, at the minute. You dont doubt him at all in terms of whether hes going to make a difference in the game and he did again today.Table of ContentsMost World Cup goals: Where does Harry Kane stand?World Cup 2026: Harry Kane on England goalsWorld Cup 2026: Whats next for England and Harry Kane?World Cup 2026: England team vs PanamaMost World Cup goals: Where does Harry Kane stand?Only seven players now have more World Cup goals than Kane, including 2026 top scorer Lionel Messi and Kylian Mbappe, who has made a prolific start to the finals for France.Portugals Cristiano Ronaldo, who is the all-time top scorer in international football, has two at the current finals and 10 overall at the tournament.PlayerTeamGoalsMatchesLionel MessiArgentina1828Kylian MbappeFrance1617Miroslav KloseGermany1624RonaldoBrazil1519Gerd MullerWest Germany1413Just FontaineFrance136PeleBrazil1214Jurgen KlinsmannWest Germany/Germany1117Sandor KocsisHungary115Harry KaneEngland1114World Cup 2026: Harry Kane on England goalsKane described his latest landmark as another proud one to reach and credited Bellingham with another top performance.Jude looks fit, looks sharp and looks like hes got the bit between the teeth to go out there and prove to the world the type of player he is, the Bayern Munich striker told ITV.His effort non-stop running, tackling, tracking back is the type of player we want in our team.
