Harry Kane loses his voice after the confrontation with Mexico. We won a crazy game.

England captain Harry Kane was at a loss for words after his country qualified for the quarter-finals of the 2026 World Cup with a thrilling 3-2 win over Mexico at the Azteca Stadium on Monday. Because he lost his voice from singing too much with the crowd.

In the statements given to BBC Sport, Kane said in a hoarse, barely audible voice. “I can’t speak, I lost my voice. I sang with the crowd. It was a crazy match, everything was against us today, but we found a solution.”

The Bayern Munich striker was crucial in the win, setting up Jude Bellingham and then converting a penalty himself to set up the third goal for Anthony Jordan.

Regarding the penalty awarded against him, from which Mexico scored their second goal, he said: “I think I touched the ball first. The referee made a lot of decisions against us, but in the end they didn’t work, so I’m happy.”

Kane praised the presence of the English. “It was amazing, incredibly encouraging, speechless.”

In the quarter-finals, England is waiting for Norway, which beat Brazil (2-1) with Erling Holland’s double.
