The England captain is feeling fitter than ever but warns his team may have to ‘grind it out’ against Mexico

Nobody is more qualified than Thierry Henry to talk about finishing, so it was worth paying attention to the former France striker’s analysis of Harry Kane’s second goal against the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC).

“Striking with the inside of the foot, almost wrapping the ball while the body is off-balance, you have to maintain balance at the crucial moment to take the shot,” Henry said on Fox after the game. “Do you know how hard it is to generate power then? At the end of the game? To redirect it like that? If I did that now, I’d break my back.”
