ShareHarry Kane said England had set the standard for future tournament performances with their historic 7-0 thrashing of Croatia.Harry Kane said England had sent out a resounding message to the rest of Europe by routing Croatia 7-0 on Saturday, also acknowledging the Three Lions need to adopt the same mentality at future tournaments. Kane scored twice as the Three Lions ran riot in Rijeka, making it back-to-back Nations League victories following their opening 3-2 defeat to Spain.Thomas Tuchel's side were utterly dominant as they put up an expected goals (xG) figure of 6.43 – the largest ever recorded in any Nations League game, in any tier. Bukayo Saka also helped himself to a brace, with Anthony Gordon, Jude Bellingham and Morgan Rogers getting England's other goals. It was England's biggest ever win against a team in the top 50 of the FIFA World Rankings and the heaviest defeat in Croatia's history, and Kane said the scale of their accomplishment should not be underestimated. "Even when we were 1-0 up, we went for two, went for three, went for four, and that's got to be our mentality," Kane said, as quoted by ESPN."When you have a certain style of playing, you can't just pick and choose when you want to do it. It's just relentless. It's non-stop."You get four, you want five. You go and have a hungry mentality. That's needed to change, especially in the bigger games, in the bigger tournaments, and these games will only help us."We were playing against a really good side. We can't take this type of win for granted because it could have been a really tricky game for us."And it's always about sending messages, not just to yourself, but to the other teams around Europe. I think we've done that again."We're hungry. We're a young team. We have players in amazing form right now, and I think everyone's just excited to be out there on the pitch. Performances like this will only make us more motivated."Kane now has 11 goals for England in 2026, becoming the first player to ever reach double figures in three separate calendar years for the Three Lions (also 12 in 2019 and 16 in 2021).Both he and Gordon have scored in three straight games for England, becoming the first pair of players to do so for them since Kane and Marcus Rashford in 2019.England, whose last seven-goal victory came against North Macedonia in a Euro 2024 qualifier three years ago, welcome Czechia to Wembley for their final game of this international break on Tuesday.Should Kane feature in that match, he will match legendary former goalkeeper Peter Shilton at the top of England's all-time appearance charts, with 125 caps.Harry Kane said England had set the standard for future tournament performances with their historic 7-0 thrashing of Croatia.Harry Kane said England had sent out a resounding message to the rest of Europe by routing Croatia 7-0 on Saturday, also acknowledging the Three Lions need to adopt the same mentality at future tournaments.
