San Marino v England | Monday 15th November 2021

So England are, as expected, winning comfortably at half time, and people are bitching and moaning that Kane has scored 4 goals because it's just stat padding against a shit team. Do goals against shit teams not count? I mean, Mbappe scored 4 against Kazakhstan the other night and nobody threw a hissy fit about how he was just stat padding. Messi has racked up the goals for Barcelona against shit teams and nobody calls him a stat padder. Honestly, if Kane didn't manage to score against San Marino, everyone would be bleating on about even their dead one-legged grandmother could score against San Marino and therefore this is concrete proof that Kane is finished. Lewandowski, by the way, only managed to score twice against Andorra (slightly less shit than San Marino) the other night, and Andorra were down to 10 men for practically the whole game. Presumably if he'd managed a hat trick he would have been stat padding?

It makes a mockery of international football. Jimmy Greaves scored mostly against strong teams. It is not Kane’s fault but international qualifiers are a joke and the result of a corrupt system where FIFA officials live off bribes from smaller nations. The broadcasters are complicit and talk the games up. It is an insult to fans.
 
Am I alone in not seeing what all the hype is about Bellingham?

He's still young sure, but he wouldn't be able to step into say City for a fair few years imo.
