England captain Harry Kane has showcased that he isn't just good at football, as the Bayern Munich captain showed off his quarterbacking skills. Kane made an over the top pass to Eberechi Eze with his hands during a Three Lions training session, as the Arsenal star scored a 'touchdown'. England are set to take on Latvia up next in a crucial World Cup qualifier.
England preparing for World Cup qualifier with Latvia
England are preparing for a World Cup qualifier against Latvia, which could see them seal qualification for the 2026 World Cup with a victory. As they prepare for the match in Riga, the Three Lions hosted a game of American football as a warm-up, and captain Kane showed off his quarterbacking skills with a wonderful throw to Eze. The striker is a big NFL fan and has even discussed potentially transitioning into the American version of football at some point in the future.

Thomas Tuchel’s England are riding a wave of momentum, claiming their first friendly win under the German manager with a commanding 3-0 victory over Wales. Morgan Rogers, Ollie Watkins, and Bukayo Saka all scored in a dominant first-half display. The Three Lions are unbeaten and unbreached in World Cup qualifying, remaining the only side across UEFA’s five-nation groups with a perfect defensive record. A win in Riga would seal their place at the 2026 World Cup, after Serbia’s loss to Albania left Tuchel’s men four points clear at the summit with a game in hand.

Tuchel decided to rotate the Three Lions' attack for the friendly with Wales as Kane was apparently suffering from some ankle discomfort and didn't train beforehand. However, it is expected that the Bayern Munich striker will be fit for the Latvia clash and will be in the starting line-up on Tuesday night as England bid to seal qualification for next summer's tournament in the USA, Canada and Mexico.
