Kane addresses the media before the Croatia clash

Rooney bid farewell to international football in Thursday’s 3-0 friendly win against the United States, ending his record-breaking England career with 53 goals from his 120 caps.Kane, 25, has amassed 19 goals so far and will be looking to get back on the scoresheet in England’s winner-takes-all Nations League clash with Croatia on Sunday,a game you can hear live on talkSPORT.He has already been backed by Rooney to one day eclipse his own achievements and now the Tottenham forward has admitted it is something he is targeting in the long-term.“It is definitely possible,” Kane said when asked about breaking Rooney’s feat.4

“It is still a fair bit away. I don’t like to set my targets that far ahead in the future because a lot can happen.“We will see over the years how many goals I have got. Hopefully I will still be fit and healthy and getting selected by the manager.“It is achievable but not something I’m thinking about too much right now.”Sunday’s meeting with Croatia will give England the chance to end the year on a high and also banish the ghosts of their World Cup semi-final exit at the hands of the same opponents. A win will take Gareth Southgate’s side into the final stages of the Nations League, although defeat would result in relegation to League B.Kane missed a glorious chance to put England 2-0 ahead in the last-four clash in Moscow, being denied by goalkeeper Danijel Subasic and hitting a post from the rebound before Croatia went on to reach the final.He admits he still plays the opportunity over in his mind but is now determined to lead England to another semi-final appearance, this time in the inaugural Nations League.Asked if he still thinks about the miss, he Kane replied: “Of course.4

Before seeing the Croatia keeper save the follow up as well

“I have always said as a striker, whenever you miss a chance you have to forget about it as quickly as possible.“It hurts, any semi-final or big game you lose you always think about what you could have done better – and there are few bigger games than a semi-final.“I don’t think about it as much anymore, I am just trying to focus on each game as they come along.”
