WORLD OF PAIN DRIVING KANE

Penalty miss against France in 2022 was Harry's lowest moment. He's scored all 31 spot-kicks since
HARRY KANE admits the worst moment of his life is the driving force behind his dreams of World Cup glory.
Three years ago, Kane missed a last-gasp penalty in the quarterfinal 2-1 defeat to France. If he had scored, the tie would have gone to extra-time.
In the aftermath, Kane became obsessive about working on his penalty-taking technique and scored his next 31 spot-kicks.
That alone shows just how much he is driven by disappointment. And Kane, 32, is driven by that heartbreak going into next summer's tournament, when he will again shoulder the hopes of a nation as he leads Thomas Tuchel's England to the United States.
