Ahead of his 100th appearance for England, Harry Kane is next targeting 100 goals for his country.

The Three Lions captain is set to make his landmark appearance against Finland at Wembley on Tuesday, becoming the 10th player to reach the milestone, and the first since Wayne Rooney in November 2014.

Kane is England s record goalscorer, netting 66 goals in his 99 appearances so far, and has 17 assists for the national team.

He scored three times for England at Euro 2024, sharing the Golden Boot with five other players, with his last goal coming from the penalty spot against the Netherlands in the semi-final.

Kane started their Nations League opener against the Republic of Ireland on Saturday, a match they won 2-0, though the striker failed to hit the net d…

Kevin De Bruyne inspired Belgium to a 2-1 comeback win over Denmark that secured their place in the knockout stages of Euro 2020.

With Roberto Martinez s side trailing to an early Yussuf Poulsen goal, De Bruyne came off the bench for the second half, his first outing since injury forced him off during Manchester City s Champions League final defeat to Chelsea.

And the 29-year-old quickly provided a brilliant assist for Thorgan Hazard before turning the game completely on its head with an equally superb finish that secured the points.

Just five days on from those traumatic scenes involving Christian Eriksen in Copenhagen, the home fans welcomed their heroes back to Parken by creating an electric atmosphere.

Italy s World Cup winning captain Fabio Cannavaro has declared his intention to still be available to Italy when they make the defence of their world crown in South Africa in 2010.

The Real Madrid defender will be 36 when the tournament kicks off in Africa for the first time ever, but told La Gazzetta dello Sport that he will still have plenty left to offer returning World Cup winning coach Marcello Lippi.

If the coach wants me, I will be there to retain the World Cup in South Africa. I will always make myself available. Always, he said.

I will have to work more, as at 35 years of age (he turns 35 on September 13) everything becomes more complicated. But playing for Italy is a pleasure and an honour. It s unique.

Pascal Gross believes he has room for improvement despite starting his Borussia Dortmund career with two assists in Saturday s routine DFB-Pokal win over Phonix Lubeck.

Gross teed up first-half goals for fellow new signing Waldemar Anton and Julian Brandt as Dortmund advanced to the competition s second round with a 4-1 win over their fourth-tier hosts.

He is the first player on record (since the 2008-09 season) to record two assists on his first Pokal appearance for BVB.

He also created the joint-most chances of any player on the pitch (three, alongside Brandt), while his 154 accurate passes were only bettered by Niklas Sule (191).

Alex Sandro has signed a new Juventus contract running to 2023, ending speculation he could leave the Serie A champions for a Premier League club.

Brazil international Alex Sandro has been linked to sides including Chelsea and Manchester United, but instead confirmed he will be staying in Turin.

The 27-year-old has developed into one of the world s top left-backs since joining Juve from Porto in 2015 and he will now spend the foreseeable future with Massimiliano Allegri s side.

Alex Sandro has won domestic doubles in each of his three seasons at Juve, who are on track to defend their Serie A crown for the eighth year in a row.

His skills on the pitch are undeniable, but Alex Sandro has always stood out for his great professionalism, a club statement read…

Cristiano Ronaldo has another accolade to add to his collection at the end of a remarkably successful year for club and country.

The 31-year-old won the Champions League and Club World Cup with Real Madrid and ended Portugal s wait for a major trophy by helping them to a Euro 2016 triumph.

If that was not enough, it appears that Ronaldo has also conquered the world of social media at least when it comes to high-profile athletes.

Out of all professional sportspeople across the globe, the former Manchester United forward produced the top three posts on Facebook and the top five on Instagram, according to social analytics tool CrowdTangle. His best-performing posts generated a staggering total of 34 million user interactions.

Ronaldo s Facebook posts inclu…

The African Cup of Nations may prove a good distraction for Arsenal star Gervinho as he joins up with favourites Ivory Coast.

Gervinho may have got his preparation for the tournament off to the best possible start by scoring twice in a 4-2 victory over Egypt but his form in that game has been a far cry from the difficult season he has had so far with the Gunners.

Arsenal find themselves sixth on the Premier League table and outside Champions League qualification while Gervinho has only started in 14 matches, scoring five goals.

However, the 25-year-old is optimistic of a turnaround for both himself and the team.

I feel fine. There are a lot of positive aspects for me being in Arsenal, he said.

There are also a few negative points but I focus on…

Just seven of England’s European Under-21 Championship winners are in Lee Carsley’s latest squad as a new cycle begins.

The likes of Anthony Gordon, Morgan Gibbs-White, Emile Smith-Rowe and Jacob Ramsey are no longer eligible as the Young Lions kick off their qualifying process for the 2025 tournament against Luxembourg on September 11.

Taylor Harwood-Bellis, James Trafford, Jarrad Branthwaite, Charlie Cresswell, Harvey Elliott, new Chelsea signing Cole Palmer and Noni Madueke are those who remain from this summer’s successful tournament in Romania and Georgia.

Gareth Bale accepts there will inevitably be pressure on Wales to perform when they get their Euro 2020 campaign underway against Switzerland.

Wales were beaten 2-0 by eventual winners Portugal after a stirring campaign in 2016 in which they came top of their group and defeated Belgium 3-1 in the quarter-finals. Indeed, they were the first tournament debutants to reach the semi-finals since Sweden in 1992.

Bale is one of eight survivors from that squad to make Robert Page s selection, who begin a challenging Group A against Switzerland in Baku before facing Turkey and Italy.

Wales reached the quarter-finals in each of their previous two major tournaments, the other being the 1958 World Cup, but hopes are not quite as high for a side who averaged only 1.25 goals…

Last week we saw the first of two NFL games hosted in London, England, this season. We’re back at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium again with the Miami Dolphins facing the ‘home’ Jacksonville Jaguars.

Urban Meyer, firmly on the hot seat amid controversy and a winless start, will be hoping that his Jags don’t lose and he gets left in London.
