Yes, I would have to disagree with the conclusion of W. C. Sellar and R. J. Yeatman.

Also, Kane easily can play the 'false 9' that has been mentioned. If anything, he does it a lot.

When has he performed in an international tournament for England? Has a dose of the Rooney's if anything, maybe one very good tournament and the rest rubbish.

In four tournaments he's got six goals, four goals, two goals, three goals.

And given he'll probably have at least another four or five matches I imagine that he'll end with a (individual) tournament record that stands up against pretty much anyone in history.

Was he a good fit in the last Euros team for England? I thought he was rubbish to be honest, as was Bellingham, the odd goal hardly challenges that view. As a team, England were far better when Watkins was on. Bowen I think would be a good option there too, lots more movement across the front line rather than dropping constantly short into a congested area. No pressure on the ball coming out with Kane too.

Spain started winning tournaments when they dropped Raul, made them a better team.

Yes, with your undressed salads and and high speed railways you are an example to the world.

We've got high-speed salads and undressed railways. That's the problem.

There it is, there's the weird deluded England arrogance that dismisses everyone else as being no good.
I think we're saying the opposite!
