ENGLAND CAPTAIN HARRY KANE IS THE FIRST TO RESPOND TO LUKA MODRI OVER HIS ‘EMBARRASSING’ COMMENTS ABOUT ENGLAND ON HIS SOCIAL MEDIA ACCOUNT – AND IT’S NOW GOING VIRAL.
Harry Kane has once again found himself at the centre of a major England football conversation after the latest clash involving the Three Lions and Croatia, with social media buzzing over claims surrounding Luka Modrić and comments allegedly made about England.
The story has attracted huge attention among football supporters, particularly because Kane and Modrić are two of the most recognisable figures from their respective national teams.
However, while the online claims have generated plenty of discussion, there is no reliable current report confirming that Modrić made the specific “embarrassing” comments or that Kane issued the social-media response described in the headline.
What is confirmed is that England produced a remarkable performance against Croatia on Saturday, October 3, recording a stunning 7–0 victory in the UEFA Nations League.
Kane was at the heart of the result.
The England captain scored twice as Thomas Tuchel’s side produced one of their most dominant displays of the international period. Jude Bellingham, Bukayo Saka, Anthony Gordon and Morgan Rogers also got on the scoresheet, while Saka added a second goal during the emphatic victory.
For Croatia, it was a painful night, particularly for veteran captain Modrić.
The midfielder was making his 203rd appearance for Croatia, but even his vast experience could not prevent England from taking complete control of the match. The result was also reported as Croatia’s heaviest home defeat.
That context has made the alleged social-media exchange particularly interesting to supporters.
Kane and Modrić have known each other for years, dating back to their time together at Tottenham. Modrić was already an established star during Kane’s early years at the club, and the Croatian previously spoke positively about the England striker’s work ethic when discussing their time together.
Their international rivalry has also developed over several major tournaments.
Modrić famously helped Croatia eliminate England in the 2018 World Cup semi-final, while Kane has since become England’s all-time leading goalscorer and one of the defining players of the national team’s modern era.
The latest meeting could therefore add another chapter to their long-running football story.
Before the Nations League match, the attention was already heavily focused on the battle between the two experienced captains. Kane had recently scored against Spain despite England eventually losing 3–2 at Wembley, and the striker subsequently spoke about the positives England could take from that performance.
Against Croatia, Kane responded on the pitch in emphatic fashion.
His two goals took his international tally to 89, further extending his record as England’s leading scorer. He also continued a remarkable scoring run in competitive away matches for the national team.
That performance has inevitably intensified online discussion about England’s progress under Tuchel.
Supporters are now debating whether the victory represents a statement of intent from a team still developing under its current manager. The emphatic scoreline certainly provides plenty of material for that conversation, although one result alone does not settle broader questions about England’s future.
For Modrić, meanwhile, the evening represented another difficult chapter against England.
The Croatian remains one of the most decorated midfielders of his generation, but Saturday’s result showed just how difficult it can be for even the most experienced players when an opponent finds its rhythm.
As for the alleged Kane response, fans should treat the circulating claims with caution until the original post or a reliable report confirming the exchange emerge
