England captain Harry Kane will be presented with a gold cap to mark his 100th appearance for his country ahead of the Nations League match against Finland at Wembley on Tuesday.

The Bayern Munich striker will become the 10th Englishman to reach a century of international caps — the first since Wayne Rooney in 2014 — and will look to improve on his record 66 goals for the team.

England confirmed Monday that Kane, who was wearing golden boots during a training session in the morning, will start the match against Finland, where he will be captain for the 73rd time.

The 31-year-old Kane has played in more games at major finals (28) than any other English male player and has played in more competitive matches (83) than any other senior men’s international.

Germany coach Julian Nagelsmann has extended his contract with the national team by another two years through the European Championship in 2028.

Nagelsmann had been under contract until next year's World Cup in the United States, Canada and Mexico.

“All of us together, fans, team and coaching staff, have created something that we now want to keep developing successfully together,” Nagelsmann said in a statement. “We want to win titles together.”

The former Bayern Munich coach took charge of the German national team in September 2023 on what was initially meant to be a short-term basis through last year's European Championship.
