    It's supposed to be entertainment... I'd argue it'll continue being boring as long as the fans keep paying for it.

    I'm supporting Italy they're playing attacking football.

    Ukraine will be a cake walk like, both them and the Swedes were dreadful.

    In truth, the Swedes would have won 11-1 if they put away the circa 10 goal scoring opportunities they had during the game, the finishing was dire.

    I think the worse of the two sides actually won.

    Kane has been dreadful for England in this tournament but to call him a lazy poacher is ridiculous. He had both the most assists and most goals in the PL this season. With Son at Spurs he has been coming a lot deeper this year and I have been really impressed with his passing ability. There were a few games where the two were unplayable particularly where teams were trying to play a high line.

    Thing is England don’t set up in the same way and he looks out of sorts. He has never been particularly quick but he doesn’t look mobile either here. Trouble is Southgate isn’t going to drop him so hopefully he finds some form.

    He's a poacher and he's lazy.

    Whether he's successful is irrelevant to the point I made.

    He's a boring player

    I must admit I don't see that myself. He just isn't physically capable at present. I've watched him for Spurs when he is fit and firing. He is literally non stop with his running. He has developed too, drops deep now at times, sets up goals. He was top scorer and top assists last season. Guy is dynamite and has a workrate to match. But there is zero point sugar coating it, that ain't Harry Kane out there, the guy is out on his feet.

    I always think arms are a sign of fatigue in sport <laugh> Watch Kane back from last night. His arms are basically just dangling off his body. Flailing around when he tries to run like a petulant child. He has emptied. Its embarrassing to keep picking him purely on name. They have DCL who I think is massively underrated. Then you have Rashford who looks woefully out of sorts, which listening to the Man U fans that has been par for the course all season.

    All I'll say is...Callum Wilson

    Just chucking it out there...

    Kane will hang around like a bad smell for the last few years of his career

    He’s the first poacher I’ve ever seen who poaches from midfield.

    He’s been playing too deep and we don’t have a Son. He’s not fast but when fit and actually playing up front he gets into the positions and spaces which is where he gets his goals.
