Hes just phenomenal. How he’s never been in proper contention for winning the Balon d’or is beyond me.
Three legendary forwards have scored twice for their country tonight - Cristiano Ronaldo, Harry Kane & Mikel Merino
Merih Demirel really letting the side down with a brace against Georgia You're a centre back, dammit! Where do you think you're playing, Finsbury Park???
Comfortable win for England and another really good performance from Djed. He looks well at home at that level, a natural 'baller!
Someone somewhere at some point decided that it would be inappropriate to award the trophy to a player who hadn't won major trophies that season in addition to displaying individual brilliance, which is absurd as it's the same dozen teams who win all the trophies every year, so a player could be a combination of prime Maldini, Charlton and Pele and never win the thing if they decided that club loyalty was more important to them than chasing medals, which more or less sums up Kane's career until very recently.
Balon D’or has become a bit of a farce. Best player in the world yet Rodri and Ousmane Dembele are the last two winners when they’re not even the best players in their club sides
to England for qualifying such that they give Tuchel two "dead rubber" games with which to try and test squad prospects not in the strongest starting XI.

Yeah, it's not the most balanced squad, is it? Bowen and Rashford will probably be used there too, but they aren't really strikers.
