18 years old in his first world cup and up against the best striker in world football?

Bit harsh imo.
Agree. He looked pretty comfortable in that environment tbh and would be a stretch to criticise him for any of the first 3 England goals.
Looking forward to seeing how he responds to a negative result - and likely some negative reviews.
 
Yet again I hear criticism of a team "forgetting" to mark Kane at a corner. Seems quite a thing as a lot of teams also forget. Maybe one day a pundit might have a slightly different opinion and give Kane some credit that even after all these years, and all the tight marking at hundreds of corners, he somehow finds space. Maybe the defenders forgot, or maybe Kane is rather good at finding space when there doesn't appear to be any. I'm sure I've heard pundits compliment other strikers about finding space?
