World Cup and Ballon d’Or in reach as Harry Kane enters defining week of his career

Harry Kane faces a defining week in his career, with England's World Cup semifinal against Argentina on Wednesday in Atlanta standing between him and a potential first World Cup final appearance. The Bayern Munich striker has had an exceptional season, scoring 73 goals in 64 appearances for club and country while also winning domestic trophies. A strong performance against Lionel Messi and Argentina, followed by a potential final against France or Spain, could position Kane as a Ballon d'Or contender.
