Kane Can Win The World Cup For England – Sir Geoff Hurst

Sir Geoff Hurst has backed Harry Kane to score a hat-trick in a World Cup final. Recall that Geoff scored a hat-trick in a winning World Cup final effort, achieving the feat in England’s 4-2 victory over West Germany in 1966 to secure the nation’s only World Cup title to date.

Stressing that Kane is the man to finally end England‘s long wait for international silverware, Hurst revealed that the Three Lions captain has the quality to produce a similarly historic performance on the world’s biggest stage.

He, however, warned that the burden of the team should be shared among Tuchel’s squad rather than resting solely on the captain.

His words, “It would not shock me if we won it. And it would not surprise me if Kane scored three in the final. I am not envious of that. No one would be happier than me if it were to happen again.

I just think that it puts a bit too much pressure on Harry. It’s not about one player. He will be a very important part of the team but it is a team that wins a match, not an individual.

I’m sure Kane is revered already by Spurs fans and Bayern Munich fans whether we win the World Cup or not but winning the World Cup will give him a certain levity on what he’s achieved at club level. They will be revered immediately for the rest of their lives.

It’s going to be very difficult, particularly in Mexico. I’ve played there. The technique needed to keep hold of the ball, not give it away. Chasing the ball on a hot day in Mexico becomes quite hard and it can take you longer to get the ball back. That’s the biggest issue, I think, for English players playing there as we experienced in 1970.”

WOW.
