Absolute nonsense mega. Check his record and then apologize for spouting absolute nonsense.
I ready stuff like Argentina and Italy must be quaking in their boots. Well Italy are going to be in the play offs so not certain to qualify whilst Argentina are in even more danger and might not even make a play off. Someone else on the thread said 'If this was France we'd be 8 down by now', conveniently forgetting that France managed a 0-0 draw at home to the mighty Luxembourg last month. International football is never easy to get fluidity particularly in qualifying when teams only get together for a short period.
Yes we are a long way behind Spain, Germany and Brazil but we have qualified again for another major tournament so lets give the players some credit. i keep reading the players have no passion yet i think from their reactions it was very easy to see how much the winning goal meant to them. Meanwhile it's the sit at home fans who have no passion and seem to take pleasure in pointing out our deficiencies.
Rather than qualify for every tournament I would rather England missed out on one every now and then if it meant that we could actually do something when we did qualify rather than the usual insipid dross.
Instead they try to play European possession football and get beaten at that game by lesser sides. These sides love to see England playing that way, they don't like playing the likes of Wales, NI, Ireland who are difficult to score against and can be dangerous from set pieces and crosses. England have much better players to choose from than the other home nations and could be much more effective playing the same way they do. The players have no confidence in playing a possession game against continentals and South American teams and that is reflected in their abysmal team spirit in the last few major tournaments.

He's no Ronaldo sofe when it matters players like Ronnie step up late,kane will never be in that class of player. Next year we will see, vardy more potent imo don't hate on me though he's good in prem sometimes
Our players are spineless, pampered and sub-standard on the international stage largely due to the current status quo. I'd go as far as saying the current crop is our weakest since the Carlton Palmer/Keith Curle/Tony Daley era under Turnip Taylor circa the Euros (92?) - 'Brolin, Dahlin, Brolin, Dahlin' - when Brian Moore started singing a Dolly Parton track as said Swedish players danced their way through the Eng team.
It's a sad state of affairs. Eng play garbage football under an inspiring coach (yet again, following in footsteps of similar - Woy and McClown) and essentially we have a bunch of nothing players who are given star status courtesy of playing for Prem teams that may as well be located in Abu Dhabi for all their Englishness - foreign-owned, foreign-coach & overflowing with foreign players. But hey, let's grab the popcorn it's Man City vs Chelski this weekend.
The Prem will continue to do massive harm to the England team until they introduce a cap of, in my humble view, 5 foreign players max in each side, and ideally some of the top, young English players, instead of being so insular and cosseted playing in England, go and ply their trade in France, Italy, Germany… But of course, none of this will happen as long as the money men are running the game here.
You would have a more competitive Eng side if you picked XI hungry players from the Championship, which ironically is where most of the English talent has to go and play these days to get a game.

He's good in the Prem sometimes.
Sofa - take off your Spurs blinkers. Kane only scored 1 goal last season against Utd/City/Liverpool/Chelsea. Easy to batter the mug teams with hat tricks. Do it against the big boys before you can be considered top class.
This was published six goals ago.
10 incredible stats that prove just how good Tottenham hotshot Harry Kane is right now
After his hat-trick against APOEL in Cyprus on Tuesday night, these are some scarcely believable numbers from Spurs' relentless goalscoring machine
Harry Kane, then. He's rather good isn't he?
And the Tottenham Hotspur forward was at it again in Cyprus on Tuesday night, scoring a hat-trick to secure a 3-0 Champions League victory over APOEL as Spurs made it two wins from two in their group.
Debate over just how good Kane is seems to have been raging for a long time, but surely his doubters now have all the evidence they need to determine his quality.

And if they don't, then here's some more.
1. Kane has scored 34 goals so far in 2017, that's more than these seven Premier League clubs

2. Those 34 goals are 10 more than any other Premier League player has managed over the course of the year (Aguero and Lukaku both on 24, with Aguero playing three more games than Kane)

3. He's scored six hat-tricks in 2017 alone. SIX.

we need to build a team of 11 very good players rather than relying on one or two individuals doing something. rashford to me has some talent but isn't as good as he or other people think he is. he can finish at times but his all round game lacks what a top top international footballer should be like.
as for the fans supporting the team. i think there's a big disconnect between the players and the fans, mainly due to how much money we all know these players get. in '66, the players were earning a pittance. now we know they're all millionaires and we feel like they're not playing for us. all the passion went out of english football after euro 96, and that was southgate's fault in part.
people still got behind the so called the golden generation even though that team was full of players who were not exactly likeable which you certainly can't say about the current team
kane is a far superior all round player a deadly finisher scoring all types of goals many from outside the box

As a Tottenham fan who has been going to the lane since the late 70s and seen some of the very best ( and worst!) as much as Harry is a talent who yes can score with both feet and head and is on fire now I agree with our non spurs supporters above in that when it comes to the games when it matters i.e. West Ham away last season and up against the big sides he comes up short and until he does that regularly he can't be put nowhere near world class let's hope he proves me wrong but a linekar or klinsmann he def aint
West Ham game was a dead rubber after Chelsea won 3-0 at Goodison the previous weekend. I'm puzzled as to why some people attached so much importance to it. Did you fall for the Sky Sports hype that the title race was still on?

Vardy was a one season wonder (and what a season it was). He's lost his fire since winning a PL medal. he's Finnish.

Tbh I haven't seen much of Leicester this season, I hope he's not finished, one of those players that could make a difference on his day he had a bit of pzazzz about him like a vagazzle but yeah you're probably right
