It is just before Scotland v England in the Euro’s Group game.
Kane goes into the English changing room to find all his team mates looking a bit glum.
"What's up?" he asks.
"Well, we're having trouble getting motivated for this game. We know it's important but it's only Scotland. They're ****e and we can't be bothered".
Kane looks at them and says "Well, I reckon I can beat these by myself, you lads go down the pub."
So Kane goes out to play Scotland by himself and the rest of the English team go off for a few pints. After a few jars they wonder how the game is going, so they get the landlord to put the teletext on. A big cheer goes up as the screen reads "England 1 - Scotland 0 (Kane 10minutes)". He is beating Scotland all by himself!
Anyway, a few more pints later and the game is forgotten until someone remembers "It must be full time now, let's see how he got on". They put the teletext on.
"Result from the Stadium "England 1 (Kane 10 minutes) - Scotland 1"(Angus McShagnasty 89 minutes)".
They can't believe it, he has single handedly got a draw against Scotland!!
They rush back to the Stadium to congratulate him. They find him in the dressing room, still in his gear, sat with his head in his hands. He refuses to look at them.
"I've let you down, I've let you down."
"Don't be daft, you got a draw against Scotland , all by yourself. And they only scored at the very very end"
"No, No, I have, I've let you down...
I got sent off after 12 minutes"

Come on England!! Send the bigoted anti-English bastards back home with their tails firmly between their legs!!
Well, just getting ready for bed, will get 4 hours sleep, then up at 1.30 am for the game. Come on England don't let us down.
If both teams turn up with their 'A' game England will win comfortably; personally, I think a good 'B' game should be enough. Looking forward to hearing lots of ''God save YOUR Queen'' and ''Are you Scotland in disguise'' chants.
My England 11
Pickford
Foden
Kane
Sterling
Rashford
Bellingham
Grealish
Calvert-Lewin
Saka
don’t bother with the last 2. Pickford expected to play a sweeper role to add some attacking threat.
Result: England 12, Scotland 3

Kingston upon Hull was given its Royal Charter in 1299 by Edward I, also known as Edward longshanks and the Hammer of the Scots, who needed a Naval base to pursue his war with Scotland. The war lasted 32 years and the Proud Edwards Army referred to in the song Flower of Scotland is Edward I son Edward II. Come on England.
Would like to see Scotland progress so a draw would be OK.
Don't buy into this mutual loathing ****.
We have a team with cheats such as Kane, Sterling and Grealish, and a turd of a manager, it's difficult to identify with them.
The Scots taught the English the finer points of the game in the late 1800s and punched above their weight until 20 years ago.
Unfortunately there is a noisy embedded SNP influence north of the border who aim to spread discord.
In the SE of England (or in M25 land) on the other hand, there are a lot of people who actively loathe the north of England and northerners in general.
Feel no affinity with these folk.
England to win but the game north of the border needs a boost, so let em have a point or even a win.

At the moment, in the ground, the Scottish outnumber the English about ten to one.
Rewind to 2006- it is just before Scotland v Brazil at the next World Cup group game. Ronaldo goes into the Brazilian changing room to find all his team-mates looking a bit glum.
What's up he asks. "Well, we're having trouble getting motivated for this game" explains Ronaldinho. "We know it's important but it's only Scotland. They're shiite and we can't be bothered."
Ronaldo looks at them and says:"OK, I reckon I can beat them by myself, you lads go down the pub." So Ronaldo goes out to play Scotland by himself and the rest of the team goes for a few jars.
After a few beers they wonder how the game is going, so they get the landlord to put the teletext on. A big cheer goes up as the screen reads 'Brazil 1 Scotland 0 (Ronaldo 10 minutes)'. He is beating Scotland all by himself!
Anyway, a few more pints and the game is forgotten until someone remembers: "It must be full-time now - let's see how he got on." They put the teletext on: 'Result: Brazil 1 (Ronaldo 10 minutes) Scotland 1 (Angus McShite 89 minutes).' They can't beleive it - he has singlehandedly drawn against Scotland!
They rush back to the stadium to congratulate him. But they find him in the changing room, still in his gear, head in hands.
Ronaldo can't look his team-mates in the eye." I've let you down, I've let you down." he sobs.
"Don't be daft, you got a draw against Scotland all by yourself." says Roberto Carlos. "And they only scored at the very, very end!"
No, no, I really have let you all down," insist Ronaldo...
"I got sent off after 12 minutes!"
