England was cursed before Kane. lol, long long before.
They have been. But the fact they've made the final in the Euros twice consecutively implies that the squad has the goods but they're being held back by something unknown.
Enter stage left: Harry Kane.
Despite being one of the world's best strikers since the age of 22 the guy has won a total of f*** all. Lost in the Euro Final and EFL Cup Final TWICE and the Champions League in 18/19.
In the NHL the closest someone one has come to being this good but never getting the job done was pre-2018 Ovechkin.
The more wild part is that through Kane's career he's competed every year for a European title (UCL or UEL), EFL Cup and the FA Cup in addition to the standard league title race. Despite Tottenham finishing no lower than 7th in the Premier League in his entire tenure they only got to one CL final. No EL finals. It's almost a career defined by failure that it wasn't even a surprise that when Kane moved to Bayern Munich that they went trophyless for the first time in
TWELEVE YEARS.
Kane is an exemplary footballer. But sometimes you gotta make tough decisions to get over the hump.
