100 games for England
Kane ahead of record game: “Ronaldo motivates me!”
England captain Harry Kane is expected to wear the Three Lions shirt for the 100th time in Tuesday's Nations League match against Finland. The 31-year-old FC Bayern Munich striker has copied his motivation and inspiration for his long and successful soccer career from another great of his profession: Portuguese superstar Cristiano Ronaldo.
"Watching Ronaldo score his 901st goal yesterday, seeing him compete at 38, 39 years old, just inspires me to play as long as I can," said Kane the day before the game in London. Kane will become the tenth England international to reach the 100 caps mark. Before the game at Wembley Stadium, the record goalscorer (66 goals) will be presented with a gold cap.
At just 31, Kane has a good chance of breaking former goalkeeper Peter Shilton's record of 125 appearances for the England national team. "It motivates me to know that I still have many years ahead of me at the highest level," said Kane. Kane made his debut for the national team in the 4-0 win over Lithuania in March 2015. He scored his first goal just 79 seconds after coming on as a second-half substitute.
