    Just to clarify something:

    WORLD-CLASS definition: 1. Someone or something world-class is one of the best that there are of that type in the world.

    That's from the Cambridge dictionary but Collins and Oxford agree. Kane doesn't have to be one of the best ever, that's simply never been what defines world class and wouldn't make any sense. It's whether they are the best, one of the best or as good as the best in the world. If Kane isn't world class then you'd need to suggest a few people for his position currently playing who are better.

    Lewandowski? Maybe. Fullkrug? Lol.

    Would Fullkrug fit the team better though? I hadn’t heard of the **** two weeks ago but I reckon so.

    Haaland, and maybe Lewandowski, those are probably the only strikers you could seriously rate over Kane, out of the players who are playing right now.

    To explain, it's because they're French.

    ****ing Jenas is the worst for having an opinion before the replay then seeing the replay shows he’s completely wrong but insisting he was right anyway. **** player, **** pundit.

    I'd argue that the criteria should also include a player that you would have in the team for the biggest games in the world The CL final for example.

    Divock Origi isn’t in this argument.

    There could just be a lack of world class strikers at the moment.

    Fair enough but realisitically I just don't think you'd have an out-and-out striker in a current world XI as a team with Mbappe and a bunch of other forwards would probably be stronger. I'm not convinced I'd have Haaland or any of the alternatives above Kane if I was playing a traditional striker so he'd end up being my default choice if I had to.

    Not one manager anywhere would choose Origi over Kane
