Comedian James Corden has released a hilarious spoof with the England captain aimed at getting American fans to support them in the World Cup .

Corden is filmed trying to convince captain Kane, Dele Alli, Jamie Vardy, Jesse Lingard, Eric Dier and Kyle Walker to do a series of sketches aimed at the US audience.

He tells the players that they could be 'big sponsorship opportunities' in TV commercials and politics as a result of opening up to '325m screaming fans' of his show.

But he admits it may only be 'for some of them' as the camera pans onto a confused Jamie Vardy. Kane, 24, is asked to convince Americans that he is the nation's 'third favourite Harry' after Prince Harry, and Harry Styles.

He says to camera: "Let me be your third favourite Harry. But Corden tells him: "I'm afraid we forgot Harry Potter, you are the only the fourth favourite Harry'.

Kane then tells Corden: "But Potter isn't even real." The comedian tells the stars that that they can get the support of US fans on the back of the royal wedding of Harry and Meghan Markle .

Alli, 22, is seen storming off set dressed as the Statue of Liberty. Corden says: "Put your hand on the air."

He replies: "I'm not doing it."

Lingard goes through a number of US states before he gets to 'Gotham'. And there is a running joke with Walker as the Man City star refuses to use the word 'soccer' instead of football.

Corden says to him: 'Just say the word soccer. He says 'No." Corden replies: "Say it. Just say soccer goals."

Walker shakes his head: 'Impossible.' In the end, Corden persuades him to move his mouth and pretend he is saying the words while Corden's voice is superimposed over the video.

Two of the funniest scenes involve Vardy, 31. In the first, Vardy is dressed as a cowboy and he says: 'Yee haa howdee partner' direct to camera. He adds: "I'm inviting you for England.'

Corden then asks him: 'Is that your American accent?' before telling him 'we'll have to have a re-think'. In the second, Vardy does an impersonation of Sean Connery, and says 'Soccer' but pronounced 'shoccer'.

The film was released by Lingard on social media, as Kane sent a message of thanks to fans back home.

FA backed ''Lions'Den'' TV Channel presenter Craig Mitch braved the icy water usually reserved for the England players after a match as they try to recover from their exertions.

Standing next to Kane, he asked the striker what he made of England's victory which gives them a great chance of progressing in the tournament.

'It's what dreams are made of. It was such a good feeling. I'm so proud of the team. We fought to the end.'

Kane added:' We played well in the first half and we were unlucky not to score a few more.

' We kept going to the end it was a massive result to start the tournament.'

The striker recalled his feelings when watching previous World Cup tournament's as a fan obviously you get such a good felling with any goal you score.

'But to score a winner in a World Cup is just incredible. The celebrations - and watching the celebrations back home and in the stadium - incredible.

'I have been part of that before when I was a kid watching football - to see it and be part of it was amazing.'
