What happened: Harry Kane has become England's all-time top World Cup goalscorer, moving past a scoring benchmark long held by Pelé. Separately, Bayern Munich are pushing to secure his future, with a meeting scheduled and the club prepared to meet his terms on a new contract.
Why it matters: The milestone cements Kane as the defining figure of England's tournament run and strengthens his standing as the national team's central attacking threat. For Bayern, locking down the same Harry Kane whose Champions League run ended in heartbreak protects their most reliable source of goals as they build the next squad.
By the numbers: England are 3-1 this season, unbeaten in their last two (W2 streak), scoring 2.0 and allowing just 0.8 per match. They closed out a 2-1 result over Congo DR, continuing a form line of WWLW across their last five.
What to watch: Watch for the outcome of Bayern's scheduled contract meeting and whether terms are finalized, along with England's next fixture as their World Cup campaign continues.
