    Harry Kane what a phenomenon. Tottenham and England's greatest scorer still 29 will easily surpass Shearer as the Premier leagues greatest scorer if he stays injury free and stays in the Premier league.

    Brilliant performance by England.

    Or, you know, if our players partook of this radical idea known as "passing the f'n ball forwards"?

    It's the same situation with England and Spurs: a total lack of midfield creativity.
    Both goals came from him peeling into space on the back post from a set-piece.
    Bizarrely naive from Italy.

    An Argentinian scores at the Maradona stadium against England. Seems appropriate.

    His 'pass' to concede the corner was almost Royal-esque! <laugh>

    England have been so dreadful in this second half that it's as bad as watching us.

    The age old problem of an inability to control
    the ball in midfield against technically superior opponents. Once Italy took charge in the second half, it was just attack v defence.

    He's a Villa boy...

    Grealish could have trapped it and got down on all fours and headed it in. He was utter **** in the second half too.

    Trying to outwork them was effective in the first half.
    Having a midfield three that have either played too much or too little meant it couldn't continue.
    Rice and Bellingham play virtually every minute of every game, while Phillips is the opposite.
    They've literally played nearly 10 times as much time as he has this season.

    Up and down the country people are saying 'how come nobody marks Kane when he peels off into space on the back post'. Yeah, well it's not as if managers and defenders haven't noticed that he does that. But that's the brilliance of Kane. They all know he does that yet he does it time and time again because nobody can stop him.

    The defence collectively would have to cover him every time.
    Given how clinical Kane is in scoring, you will only
    have to have one or two lapses per game to present
    him with opportunities.
