Millions of hearts were broken all across England when their team lost against Croatia in the World Cup semifinals by the slimmest of margins. Up to that point, fans of the England team all over the world were hopeful that their footballers could get the job done and see it through all the way to the finals, and bring home the Cup after half-a-century.
However, the sting of the 2-1 defeat to Croatia was only temporary as English fans knew their team had arrived. Truth be told, the English team was the youngest fielded in this year’s World Cup, which only meant that in four years, they would be mature enough to perhaps win it all.

This is a huge boost for a team that saw superstars such as Beckham, Rooney, and Gerrard one by one leave international competition. The new captain is the 25-year-old Harry Kane, who in this year’s competition showed that not only was he capable of leading this young team, he was capable of leading them to the brink of a final showdown against eventual winners, France.
Together with other young, up-and-coming football stars, Kane looks to return to the grand stage and make a run at sports’ ultimate prize. Perhaps 2022 is the year the World Cup finally comes home.
