I just don't really get what the point is. The World Cup has caused the scales to fall from our eyes and we've discovered that Harry Kane is actually dogshit because he didn't score enough of the right kind of goals?

Maybe getting dropped by the arse is what motivated him to stop being a fat little boy

Or maybe it was growth spurs

Goals are goals, he still had to put those pens away. The only arguable "tarnish" is the lucky deflection. Diminishing a record over the type of goals scored as if they count less is the dumbest argument.

Three penalties, a tap in from a corner, an unintentional deflection, and one good header from a corner.

It’s not like he was scoring good goals in the run of play.

The whole point of Three Lions was that football did in fact come home in 1996, then it got so popular the Greedy Seeds turned it into more of a metaphysical theme

Also Kane was gash but he was the scoriest so how crap was everyone else then, huh

I don't see the point of bidding to host the world cup again. It'll only go to like Saudi Arabia or China or wherever the most bribes come from anyway. Fifa can gently caress right off imo

The days of a single country hosting these cups will be over by 2030 so at best we can campaign for the final at the greatest stadium in football, Hillsborough.

I’ve been having a hard time convincing my mates that Sterling’s contribution to the team has been good and worthwhile and the only reason they think he’s poo poo is because he bottled all his chances in front of goal. Thoughts?

I love all this making GBS threads all over Sterling when players like Rashford and Lingard couldn't even be bothered to get into good positions to miss. :allears:

Sterling showed off his poo poo finishing to be sure, but other players couldn't even get that far.

Midfielders are allowed to try to score too.

Edit: A lot of English players were played out of position, Sterling, Walker, Lingard, probably also Rashford but he wasn't on as much, I'm not sure that helped their performances.
