Anthony Gordon has praised Harry Kane as an "inspiration to all of us" following the England captain's crucial performance against the Democratic Republic of Congo, which kept England's World Cup hopes alive. England was on the verge of elimination, trailing 1-0 with less than 15 minutes to go in their last-32 tie. However, substitute Gordon assisted Kane twice, first with a header to equalize and then with a powerful top-corner shot to clinch the win. This victory secured England a place in the last-16 against Mexico. Reflecting on the match, Gordon expressed admiration for Kane's consistency and ability to perform at a high level, comparing him to football's greats. "It's more the consistency that he surprised me with," Gordon said, emphasizing the importance of learning from Kane's professionalism and work ethic. Despite defensive weaknesses, Gordon is optimistic about the team's upcoming challenge against Mexico at the iconic Azteca Stadium. "I'm really excited. It's an amazing game of football, probably a once-in-a-lifetime atmosphere and environment, so I'm really looking forward to it," he stated. Gordon highlighted the team's strong spirit and preparation, which he believes positions them well for the challenges ahead. "Momentum is massive in football," he noted, confident in the team's readiness to face adversity.
