  "account": "Legendary goalkeeper Peter Shilton has paid tribute to England captain Harry Kane, who is on the verge of breaking his 36-year men's appearance record against Croatia. Kane will earn his 126th cap in Thursday's Nations League match at Wembley, equaling Shilton's record, which he set against Denmark in 1989. Shilton, 77, hailed Kane as the ideal successor, praising his football talent and character. The former shot-stopper revealed he plans to present Kane with something on the pitch, though the details remain unclear. Kane, who recently signed a new three-year deal with Bayern Munich, acknowledged the achievement as one of his proudest moments, highlighting his consistency and dedication throughout his career. England's quarter-final qualification depends on Thursday's match, with a draw sufficient to keep them in contention for the quarter-finals, while Croatia's position in the group remains uncertain after three defeats.",
