  "account": "England's most-capped players: Harry Kane is on the brink of equalling Peter Shilton's record of 125 appearances for the England men's team, should he feature in tonight's Nations League match against Czechia at Wembley. Currently, Kane boasts 124 caps, just one shy of Shilton's record set since the 1990 World Cup. The milestone would further cement Kane's place in history as England's all-time leading scorer with 89 goals, surpassing Wayne Rooney's previous record of 53. Kane has continued to solidify this record, winning the Golden Boot at the 2018 World Cup, finishing joint-top scorer at Euro 2024, and now claiming the title of England's leading scorer at men's World Cup finals with 14 goals. Manager Thomas Tuchel praised Kane this week, stating he is the first to push and become a hardworking forward, making him a complete package.",
