Kate Kane, the wife of England captain Harry Kane, took to Instagram to share her support for the Three Lions following their dramatic 3-2 victory over Mexico in the 2026 World Cup Round of 16. The match, which kicked off at 2am UK time due to a delay, saw England secure their place in the quarter-finals after a tense encounter.
Kate's Instagram Reaction
Posting on her Instagram account, Kate wrote: "let's goooooo England!!! WHAT A TEAM", accompanied by a photo of herself and Harry sitting together in the stadium. Earlier, she had shared a carousel of snaps including one of their children wearing an England shirt with "Kane" on the back and a sign reading "Go daddy we love you!"
The Match and BBC Coverage
England's victory was spearheaded by captain Harry Kane and Jude Bellingham, overcoming concerns about the challenging conditions in the Mexico stadium. Due to the late kick-off, BBC Sport offered a dedicated catch-up experience for fans who could not stay up. Alex Kay-Jelski, director of BBC Sport, said: "World Cup knockout football is absolutely unmissable, but a 1am kick-off isn’t realistic for everyone. We wanted to make sure there was an option for those fans who just can’t stay up to experience one of England’s biggest matches live."
Harry and Kate's Relationship
Harry Kane and Kate Goodland began dating as teenagers. Harry proposed on a beach in July 2017, and they married on June 19, 2019.
