Harry Kane

But surely that's football ? Why should England be immune to shock results and performances.
These England youngsters seem to carry the burden for England's past history, which is unfair.

But they're NOT shock results and performances, are they?

The so-called "top" teams are seeded to get through to the finals and are drawn against the "minnows" for a reason. The reason is, once again, is MONEY. UEFA/FIFA want to ensure maximum viewing figures or their product, so the draws reflect this.

Even in the qualifiers, they are expected to win, and there may be an occasional hiccup, but if you're happy watching that sort of turgid performance on a regular basis to get a result then you do so. I won't, it bores me to tears. When it comes to the competition "proper", they fail miserably as they can't raise their game beyond how they're coached, which appears to be from the pre 1953 coaching manual.

As for "carrying the burden", none of the current team were alive when we last won anything, and were kids in 1996. You'd think that they would want to do something about it, but they're restrained from doing so by outdated thinking and tactics, whereas the rest of the world has moved on.

He's a dumb looking mouth breather, he has a touch of the Carrick about him in that respect.

He has Manchester United written all over him

Not sure if he fancies it but Kane is one of the few England players that I think could eventually get in to some of the top sides in Europe. Don't see the Spanish clubs or PSG ever being in for him but Lewandowski is now 29 and I think Kane would do well in the Bundlesliga if he left in a couple years time.

Talent wise maybe, but his style is as Premier League as it gets. He could easily make it to the top but it'd have to be at an english side

Benzema is also 29 and will turn 30 by december, could be his replacement
on the sidenote he now has 6 goals in last 4 games for club n country
