British MP proposes knighthood for Kane over World Cup achievements

The British Parliament recently published an early day motion in which MP Layla Moran proposed that England captain Kane be awarded a knighthood.

The motion, numbered 508, was submitted on July 2, 2026, for the 2026-27 session and currently has one signatory, with no amendments received. The text of the motion reads: This House highly commends Kane's efforts in Wednesday evening's FIFA World Cup match against DR Congo; congratulates the England team on their performance in the FIFA World Cup so far; and wishes them all the best in their next match against Mexico on Monday. Furthermore, the motion specifically notes that Kane's total FIFA World Cup goals have surpassed Pelé's; and believes that, given the aforementioned achievements and Kane's two brilliant goals in Wednesday evening's match, which kept England's hopes of winning the FIFA World Cup alive, he should be awarded a knighthood.

It’s extremely significant—essentially, he’s leaving because he can’t secure enough playing time in England and would rather take a chance in the U.S.

Not only did he fail to score, but his defensive retreats were also heavily criticized—those critics think they know better than the coach how to use Kane.

Never mind failing to win the title—teams’ fans will mercilessly roast them even for failing to score in the first half.

England’s all-time top scorer, runner-up in the defending European Championship—this is acceptable.

What is country music? Is it the kind that John Denver sings—“Take Me Home, Country Roads”? I genuinely don’t know, so I’m asking.

There will always be some—there are even Chinese people who hope Japan’s football team will bring glory to Asia at the World Cup—but I don’t think it’s necessary.
