Isn't that @Starat327 's lad?

 

[kudymen]

Umm unexpected, I will admit

 

[trostol]

i really..don't like Pickford

 

[Hollywood Cannon]

No, he doesn't seem to create any passing windows for anyone. It's like a WR getting smothered in a zone. Can't find the hole to sit and won't (physically can't?) make bursts to create them.



I have no idea what this means.

I don't follow the sport. Speak to me like I'm Striiker.

It means he played too many years in a Farmer’s league and is from that same country that hosts that farmer’s league.

I haven’t been paying much attention to it so idk. There’s usually a good amount of guys that break these big games down after they’re over that might touch on it.

Age and multiple injuries have caught up to him going back to his last year or two with Spurs. Part of the "issue" again going back to his time with Tottenham is that he's so great with his passing that he tends to drop deeper in order to get onto the ball and influence the game. This plus being a little older and slower is a combination now where (IMO) he works best with a strike partner and/or multiple other players who want to make runs into the box.

Before his injuries he was more willing/able to just run around and press.

Sure is. Should've been starting this whole tournament.

This is Kane's knock, really. He's not a fast/agile target as a central striker. But he is smart enough to find gaps and doesn't need a lot of time to turn what looks to be nothing into a goal or goal scoring opportunity/rebound.

I don't know if it's a chemistry thing, but he seemingly links up better with his support in his club teams (Spurs then Bayern) than with England recently.

I hope this goes to extra time and penalties so I get to enjoy more banter

 

[trostol]

put TAA in you smeg

 

[Chinatown88]

Omg

 

[Hollywood Cannon]

I think one thing we can all agree on is that Landon Donovan is beyond awful.

He’s like Michael Scott. He starts a sentence and doesn’t know where it’s going to go.

It's tough for a striker like Kane to be effective if his team doesn't have the ball.

Disagree.

Disagree.

You like McCarthy. Your opinion is void.

 

[trostol]

wow

 

[Chinatown88]

!!!

 

[CanadianFlyer88]

Hakshell after the equalizer bit England.

 

[Cody Webster]

Lol

This.

Kane is still a great player. He may not be having a great tournament by his standards but link up is non existent and the team is trying to actively not maintain possession. It's a recipe for disaster for him.

 

[BigToe]

Wtf was Walker doing

 

[CanadianFlyer88]

It's tough for a striker like Kane to be effective if his team doesn't have the ball.

True.

Edit: England has had plenty of the ball this tournament and Kane hasn't been that effective all month, though.

 

[Curufinwe]

Only two subs when the team looks exhausted

 

[Starat327]

@Chinatown88 assist on this one - if it stands- by my guy too

 

[kudymen]

Kane makes stuff fairly easy for every betting man in the world
