England beat Sweden to the semi-final by 2:0 in the quarter-finals of the 2018 World Cup, but then lost to Croatia and failed to advance to the final. However, breaking into the semi-final also created England’s best record in the World Cup since 1990.
Kane said at the press conference held on the same day: “In 2018, everyone was surprised, but I am not sure whether I can win the championship at that time. In the past four or five years, the confidence of the team has been accumulating, and now we believe that we can win the championship.”

He also said: “It is expected that we will enter the quarter-finals, but our goal is not only to enter the top eight. Now we are obviously more confident than we were in 2018. Tomorrow is not the World Cup final, but a step we must take on the way to win the World Cup. We will concentrate all our energy on this battle and try to enter the next round.”
