Harry Kane's voice goes hoarse in postgame interview

sportsJul 6, 2026791,608

After England's 3-2 win over Mexico at the Azteca Stadium, captain Harry Kane sounded nearly speechless and hoarse during his postmatch interview, with audible cracks in his voice captured on camera. England reached the World Cup quarter-finals thanks to Jude Bellingham's two goals in 98 seconds, a 54th-minute red card for Jarell Quansah, and Kane both scoring and conceding a penalty; the game was delayed by an hour because of severe storms. Clips of Kane's strained, quiet voice have been widely shared and prompted numerous humorous comparisons in social posts. England will face Norway in the quarter-finals.

I didn't realise that the concerns about the atmosphere in Mexico were because it was helium, but after that Harry Kane interview...

Multiview on England-Mexico had a camera on Bellingham once Harry Kane was subbed off. Bellingham literally couldn’t run anymore in the final minute and still got back to make a play. Incredible.

Insane as it was, that might well be the best performance I've ever seen by England in a World Cup knockout game. Fighting the altitude, the atmosphere, the referee... they knew we were all staying up for it and fought hard for us. And that Harry Kane post-match interview: comedy gold. Night all.
