While Harry Kane is certainly a talented player, his lack of trophies in his career may raise some questions about his ability to lead a team to success. However, it's important to remember that winning trophies often depends on factors beyond an individual player's abilities, such as team chemistry, management, and luck. Let's hope that Kane is able to turn things around and add some trophies to his impressive repertoire in the future!
I really love these guys. Craig used to bug me at times, but I just wasn't used to honesty coming at me from the television. I've watched a TON of football analysis from every English speaking source available over the last month, and these guys were seriously the most honest and spot on, and they usually gave me a good laugh with it. None of that it's coming home nonsense. They were honest and insightful. Well done Dan, Craig, Frank, Steve, and Stevie. You guys have skills, chemistry, and the charisma the other shows just don't have.
This is just poor man. There's a reason most of the football world including many pundits are crazy about Rodri. I respect Carvajal, an absolute legend of the game. But to even try and compare his contributions to Rodri's is crazy. The way he dominates city's midfield and spain's is crazy. He's been the most important player for every team he plays and that performance againts france was stunning. I personally felt jude deserved it more if he won the euros, but he's been poor since that slovakia game. His "Assist" this game was a mere layoff, nothing extraordinary or anything. And I'm English mate
Harry Kane is literally the ONLY Football Player in history to be the Top Scorer and win the Golden Boot at each of EUROS, World CUP, Champions League, atleast 2 of the Top 5 League itw. Harry Kane was never a problem, just start Gordon on LW and drop Foden, and see his magic as he has replicated with HM Son and Sane + Coman/Musiala.
Literally none of that matters as long as Southgate's in charge. The fact that he can't find a way to get both Foden and Alexander Arnold to perform is absolutely insane!
These espn pundits saying Rodri should win the Ballon d'or should start watching cricket instead. They forgot Dani Carvajal won everything this season except the Spanish cup. 100% Carvajal to win the Ballon d'or
Rodri has already reached the highest peak of any CDM ever. For 500 Days; Trophies Won: 8 Matches Lost: 4 UCL Winner UCL Player of the Season PL Player of the Season PL Winner Nations League Winner Nations League Player of the Season EUROS Winner EUROS Player of the Season FIFA CWC Winner FIFA CWC Player of the Tourrnament UEFA Super Cup Winner UEFA Super Cup Player of the Season
I’ve had a lot of fun at Harry Kane’s expense, but I genuinely feel sorry for the guy. He comes across as a really decent man. I’m certain next season will be the one that finally puts the curse to rest. I mean how many years in a row can you keep Bayern from winning a trophy? I think the odds are finally in Harry’s favour. Good luck Harry.
Harry Kane: 6 finals 0 goals, 0 assists. Was injured in 2 of them (CL 2019 & EURO 2024), and still selfishly decides to play. Joins Bayern who have won the league for 11 years and they have a trophyless season. It is quite simple; He doesn’t play winning football and doesn’t stick to his role which should be an out and out striker. No one has ever asked him to be a quarter back so why does he insist it upon everyone?
He is nothing without penalties. Only the media & pundits hype him up. In fact, they’re probably better strikers in England who’ve had to bench warm because of Kane’s ridiculous PR
Daniel Carvajal will win the Ballon D'or. He won La Liga, UCL, and now the Euro. To be fair, he was immense in both UCL and Euro finals. You heard it here first.
@@lukew6725Carvajal is a truly great RB, you can't deny that. Together with Cafu, Dani Alves and Lahm he belongs on the Mount Rushmore of 21st century RBs imo. And Jorginho was a great CDM in 2021, wasn't he?
I don't think so. But I honestly have no idea who could win it this year, everyone was kinda disappointing in some regard and we know they don't like to give it to defenders. They probably grant another one to Messi if he wins the copa😂
@robertcowie8230 Scotland can make any request they like when they reach the final of a tournament or even win a single match in a tournament. Until then they can STFU.
How about all the other teams and players who have been disappointing at this tournament. Belgium, Portugal, Italy and players like DeBruyne, Mbappe, Ronaldo etc, is this because they were tired after a long hard season?
Blame Flopgate. Look how England were playing before Williams' goal and then after his goal. And then again look at how they played after Palmer's goal. As soon as they scored Flopgate made them play pragmatic. From the start he wanted the game to go to penalties but Spain being Spain didn't allow that. It is the coach's fault, if you have a great striker up front but you only play in your half then your striker literally cannot do anything.
@@Savant_Ananya How did Southgate make them pragmatic after the goal? Did he run on the pitch and gather them and say "Start being pragmatic! Start playing bad!" They made themselves pragmatic. Because they couldn't beat Spain's press and intensity to save their lives and couldn't retain any meaningful stretch of good play. They got played off the pitch for the most part. They had a few brief 3 minute patches where they had some unthreatening attacks. And that's about it. They couldn't do anything. Couldn't dribble past defenders. Couldn't string together passes. Couldn't move off the ball. That has nothing to do with Southgate. He didn't tell them to do that. They were simply outplayed by a better side and they have no chemistry as a team.
ARGENTINA 🇦🇷VS SPAIN🇪🇸 loading in the Copa Finalissima. ( Messi coming back to Europe (maybe,I wish they do it turn wise and take it to South America this time.) 😎 and facing his Barca teammates.)
For those who still believe premier league is the strongest league in the world, here you have an average Spanish players with only carvajal and nacho from Real Madrid and lamine Yamal from Barcelona, rest of the team are from average La Liga clubs and yet they managed to beat the “English premier league stars” despite having Jude Bellingham playing for England. I have a question for you!! Which league is the stronger league now?
5 of the 11 starters today do not play in Liga. La liga is under rated for sure, but it’s not like all there players play in La Liga. Also only one plays in real Madrid, Carvajal since Nacho plays in Saudi now.
I hope they don’t take Kane and keep Southgate for the WC. They’ll then see those are boneheaded decisions and they should sack Southgate and make a game plan around Kane
It's easy to pick on one player and blame him entirely when the team fails and say he should be dropped completely from future games. If Kane should be dropped, then what about Ronaldo? What about Morata, even.
It's the ENGLISH media who say ENGLAND have world class players, not anyone else, they ENGLISH also said they had the best squad at the tournament, burley they didn't take long 2 say if Spain 2nd goal was offside as it didn't go 2 var
For me, this award has become too biased towards attackers, as the only thing that people care about is scoring goals and while that’s an indicator of what a player can do as that’s impacting the game for your team, it shouldn’t be the only metric when it comes to determining the best player in the world and it’s the same thing with team trophies as well. Players have other aspects of their game beyond just statistical output and the influence on the game and the impact you have on your team is equally as important as how many goals a player scores and anyone who watches the games would know that. Rodri is a world class CDM and some people say that it’s an insult to the sport if he wins the Ballon Dor since he’s not known as a player who scores a lot of goals. Despite winning more trophies in 2023, Rodri was a better overall player in 2024 and he took his game to another level. Individually, we shouldn’t forget that he had an excellent season at Manchester City whereas a CDM, he had 9 goals and 14 assists 23 G/A in all competitions, playing more like a proper midfielder than a defensive midfielder and he was undefeated in every game he played in the Premier League as every time that they lost a game, he didn’t play as he was suspended. Most of their losses last season came when he didn’t play showing how irreplaceable he is to their team. They wouldn’t have won the league without him especially since Arsenal was challenging them all season and that’s a testament to how good he is and we have to consider a player’s overall team impact in the Ballon Dor race since Manchester City are a much weaker team when Rodri doesn’t play since no one can replicate what he does. Until the FA Cup final against Manchester United, he was undefeated in 74 games even though he lost to Real Madrid and Arsenal. He was incredibly consistent throughout the season. With the Spain national team, he has gone undefeated for his country in over a year and he has won the EUROs as the best player in the tournament and he was a lynchpin at the heart of their midfield even though he got subbed off at half time. He was quiet in their first couple of games, but in the latter stages of the tournament, he scored a wonderful goal against Georgia and produced sublime performances against France and Germany showing up in big games for you country. How much of a role does international football play in the race for the Ballon Dor. Yes Vini and Bellingham had a great season at Real Madrid and were key to their success and helped them win the Champions League, but both of their performances for their respective national teams in major tournaments were average as Brazil was dumped out of the Copa America and Vini was underwhelming, at the EUROs, Bellingham had his moments for England, not only did he lose the final as in that game he got an assist, at times he wasn’t that good, and while Manchester City’s lack of trophies except for the premier league go against him since they didn’t go far in the champions league, Rodri winning the EUROs with Spain as the best player puts him in the mix for the Ballon Dor and international football changes everything in the race to win this award.
LUMINARATH WAS RIGHT ONCE AGAIN!!! HE IS THE GOAT! The guy exposed FIFA and uefa by leaking all the correct scores for the entire tournament and sharing it to the people, the guy is the best thing that happened in 2024. What a shame for football...
The Kane "curse" rubbish is getting old and tiring at this point. Yeah players of his quality and status should be winning trophies. But a player can only do so much. He can only do a job. He can't be the whole entire team and can't control every aspect. And unfortunately for Kane he's been stuck on 2 loser teams for basically his whole career. Spurs and England. I mean let's be real here....When is the last time Spurs or England won something meaningful? 1966? That's not exactly winning DNA. Now if he goes his whole Bayern stint without some big titles then the questioning will be justified. But right now he gets a pass because Spurs and England can't be trusted to win a Mickey Mouse Cup let alone serious trophies.
Rodri has already reached the highest peak of any CDM ever. For 500 Days; Trophies Won: 8 Matches Lost: 4 UCL Winner UCL Player of the Season PL Player of the Season PL Winner Nations League Winner Nations League Player of the Season EUROS Winner EUROS Player of the Season FIFA CWC Winner FIFA CWC Player of the Tourrnament UEFA Super Cup Winner UEFA Super Cup Player of the Season.
Jarod Bowen, Ollie & Ivan Toney are better than Kane. They have pace, strength but never get the chance to show it. What a waste especially with Jarod who can shoot with both feet.
In a season for club and country, achievements in international football should be as important as what you achieve at club level. We shouldn’t discredit a season because of international competitions and I think that’s where recency bias kicks in. As of right now for the Ballon Dor, Vinicius Junior and Jude Bellingham have an edge over everyone because Real Madrid won the Champions League, but now that Spain has won the EUROs and he was the best player of the tournament, Rodri is among the contenders to win the Ballon Dor and while he won’t win it, if he manages to win it, I won’t have an issue with that at all.
Jurgen Klopp is free. He knows English football inside out. And knows how to win. He could take England very far in the world cup with entertaining football
do not do that m8 re klopp ok he is avaiable however he said he wanted to take a year out from football management and southgate has not quit yet sadly 🤣 therefore it is a pipe dream to think that the english fa would go for a world class manager like klopp never mind that he would not take the job anyway imo🤔 the sad reality is we are going to have another two years of southgate at this point🤣
I dont forget when he was at Spurs when the English referees, pundits and commentators always backed him on his diving, dark arts, fouls (Andy Robertson).. whatever. Glad they got served again.
This year is tough but in my opinion the winner of ballon d or should be Dani Carvajal. He won Laliga, Supercopa De España, Champions League and Euro Cup. He was incredibly in every single match.
Honestly i dont see kane startin 2026 world cup not with his euro 24 performances and southgate should stop setting up his team buyusly and give players like bowen ,watkins ,toney palmer, konsa and rico lewis more playing opertunities
Kane should start no matter who is the manager. Flopgate should leave and if Flopgate stays then better for Kane to stay home because of the pragmatist game of Flopgate.
Kane isn’t the issue. He doesn’t get service or play in the same system as he does at Bayern. He arguably had a ballon dor type of season if they had won the CL. People are looking for a scapegoat but it’s simply the tactics. Kane contributed with the limited touches he got. Can’t say the same for Foden. Not sure what he contributed if anything. Cold Palmer should’ve featured.
He is the issue he doesn't make runs for foden and etc to make them passes. The defenders who faced Kane all had a easy game but once watkins comes on it's a whole different game.
This was expected 😂 Southgate is tactically mediocre. He has some good players, and he doesn't know how to get them firing. Constantly relying on cursed Kane to win him matches
Going into the 2026 World Cup, Harry Kane will still be England’s first choice striker. By the time the next major tournament starts, he’ll be 32 and with that age; he has another tournament left in him. As great of a striker he is in terms of his goalscoring record, he has no luck when it comes to trophies and time and time again, he flatters to deceive in big games. For club and country, he has lost 6 finals without scoring a single goal (0 goals and 0 assists in the 2018 World Cup semifinals against Croatia, 2020 and 2024 EUROs finals against Italy and Spain respectively), not to mention that against France in the World Cup quarterfinals, he missed that infamous penalty and sent his kick to space. He has now won Golden Boots at both the EUROs and the World Cup and while that’s great on his personal record that he can score goals, people won’t care because he didn’t win anything. He didn’t really have a great EUROs despite being the joint top scorer and there were calls by many people that he should be dropped in favor of Ivan Toney or Ollie Watkins, in games where you expect to step up and produce, he’s being subbed off with 30 minutes to go when his team is chasing a goal in a final as in front of the whole world, he proved that he’s a bottler in big games in that regard because he crumbles whenever the lights are the brightest. If Gareth Southgate is still the England manager by the time the World Cup starts in 2026, Kane will be starting over Toney Watkins Solanke or any other English striker that rises, depending on who their best manager will be and his physical condition that decides whether he’ll keep starting for them and that shouldn’t even be a conversation since regardless of his performances; he’s always going to play.
Put some respect on La Liga. People act like these spanish players arent stars. Oyarzabel is a starter for a huge Spanish club and is always a top performer in league.
And has more trophies than Kane.
Real sociedad is not a big club

Individually, we shouldn’t forget that he had an excellent season at Manchester City whereas a CDM, he had 9 goals and 14 assists 23 G/A in all competitions, playing more like a proper midfielder than a defensive midfielder and he was undefeated in every game he played in the Premier League as every time that they lost a game, he didn’t play as he was suspended. Most of their losses last season came when he didn’t play showing how irreplaceable he is to their team.
They wouldn’t have won the league without him especially since Arsenal was challenging them all season and that’s a testament to how good he is and we have to consider a player’s overall team impact in the Ballon Dor race since Manchester City are a much weaker team when Rodri doesn’t play since no one can replicate what he does. Until the FA Cup final against Manchester United, he was undefeated in 74 games even though he lost to Real Madrid and Arsenal. He was incredibly consistent throughout the season. With the Spain national team, he has gone undefeated for his country in over a year and he has won the EUROs as the best player in the tournament and he was a lynchpin at the heart of their midfield even though he got subbed off at half time. He was quiet in their first couple of games, but in the latter stages of the tournament, he scored a wonderful goal against Georgia and produced sublime performances against France and Germany showing up in big games for you country. How much of a role does international football play in the race for the Ballon Dor. Yes Vini and Bellingham had a great season at Real Madrid and were key to their success and helped them win the Champions League, but both of their performances for their respective national teams in major tournaments were average as Brazil was dumped out of the Copa America and Vini was underwhelming, at the EUROs, Bellingham had his moments for England, not only did he lose the final as in that game he got an assist, at times he wasn’t that good, and while Manchester City’s lack of trophies except for the premier league go against him since they didn’t go far in the champions league, Rodri winning the EUROs with Spain as the best player puts him in the mix for the Ballon Dor and international football changes everything in the race to win this award.
No. Rodri had his chance last year. It's Vini or Jude this year.
LUMINARATH WAS RIGHT ONCE AGAIN!!! HE IS THE GOAT! The guy exposed FIFA and uefa by leaking all the correct scores for the entire tournament and sharing it to the people, the guy is the best thing that happened in 2024. What a shame for football...
The Kane "curse" rubbish is getting old and tiring at this point. Yeah players of his quality and status should be winning trophies. But a player can only do so much. He can only do a job. He can't be the whole entire team and can't control every aspect. And unfortunately for Kane he's been stuck on 2 loser teams for basically his whole career. Spurs and England.
I mean let's be real here....When is the last time Spurs or England won something meaningful? 1966? That's not exactly winning DNA. Now if he goes his whole Bayern stint without some big titles then the questioning will be justified. But right now he gets a pass because Spurs and England can't be trusted to win a Mickey Mouse Cup let alone serious trophies.
Rodri has already reached the highest peak of any CDM ever.

England should start with two strikers. Old school 4-1-3-2 would accommodate all the attack they need. Watkins will do the running for Kane
Watkins could do the running for toney. Kane shouldn't be near any England team from here
Jarod Bowen, Ollie & Ivan Toney are better than Kane. They have pace, strength but never get the chance to show it. What a waste especially with Jarod who can shoot with both feet.
King Charles would do more than Harry Kane.
In a season for club and country, achievements in international football should be as important as what you achieve at club level. We shouldn’t discredit a season because of international competitions and I think that’s where recency bias kicks in. As of right now for the Ballon Dor, Vinicius Junior and Jude Bellingham have an edge over everyone because Real Madrid won the Champions League, but now that Spain has won the EUROs and he was the best player of the tournament, Rodri is among the contenders to win the Ballon Dor and while he won’t win it, if he manages to win it, I won’t have an issue with that at all.
By the time Kane is old to play football
4-3-3. BELLINGHAM, Rice and Foden midfield. Gordon, Watkins and Saka up front. Palmer comes on in game 1. Probably takes Foden 's place.
Just coming here to comment yes if Southgate is still the coach and hey won’t get out of the group stage
i think france and englsh should exchange their coaches to have success.
Why not Lautaro win the ballon d or, his the
Top scorer in serie a and copa america
Highly doubtful
You hope not.
The Kane curse is REAL guys
Was there a doubt about it
England is same like Spain without the S
Jurgen Klopp is free. He knows English football inside out. And knows how to win. He could take England very far in the world cup with entertaining football
do not do that m8 re klopp ok he is avaiable however he said he wanted to take a year out from football management and southgate has not quit yet sadly 🤣 therefore it is a pipe dream to think that the english fa would go for a world class manager like klopp never mind that he would not take the job anyway imo🤔 the sad reality is we are going to have another two years of southgate at this point🤣
Klopp is even worst than Southgate
Only if Southgate is still the Manager. Nuts.
The timing to ask this question can't be more ridiculous
Big game world class harry Kane strikes again
No more Kane. Start Watkins and Palmer from Day 1 of the world cup
I dont forget when he was at Spurs when the English referees, pundits and commentators always backed him on his diving, dark arts, fouls (Andy Robertson).. whatever.
Glad they got served again.
This year is tough but in my opinion the winner of ballon d or should be Dani Carvajal. He won Laliga, Supercopa De España, Champions League and Euro Cup. He was incredibly in every single match.
Rodri
No. No and no hundreds of times no
Not as incredible as Rodri , best player in Euro😂
I still think Vini was more crucial this season... ofc he didnt win with Brazil but...idk
Dirty player. The way he abused musiala disqualifies him
LUMINARATH IS THE BEST SOCCER PREDICTOR IN HISTORY!!!
Kane is slow now, how much slower will he be in 2 years?
Honestly i dont see kane startin 2026 world cup not with his euro 24 performances and southgate should stop setting up his team buyusly and give players like bowen ,watkins ,toney palmer, konsa and rico lewis more playing opertunities
The kane curse is really
If Southgate is no longer the English mgr.. 😂
Vini jr stopping rodri
England will.need to wait another 10 years
Watkins & toney should be first choice England strikers now ..Kane didn't gain any experience in Germany just the money .
Solanske will get in the squad under a new manager
Fabian ruiz, olmo, or nico williams has been better than rodri in this euro
Bayern selling Kane, they want to be able to win stuff
Southgate the man whos changed Englands history. UEFA EURO 2020 runners up, UEFA Nations league relegation, UEFA EURO 2024 runners up 💀
Kane will start in the 2026 World cup if Southgate is the England manager.
Kane should start no matter who is the manager. Flopgate should leave and if Flopgate stays then better for Kane to stay home because of the pragmatist game of Flopgate.
Kane isn’t the issue. He doesn’t get service or play in the same system as he does at Bayern. He arguably had a ballon dor type of season if they had won the CL. People are looking for a scapegoat but it’s simply the tactics. Kane contributed with the limited touches he got. Can’t say the same for Foden. Not sure what he contributed if anything. Cold Palmer should’ve featured.
He is the issue he doesn't make runs for foden and etc to make them passes. The defenders who faced Kane all had a easy game but once watkins comes on it's a whole different game.
Kane was bogus ..PAlmer was electric...
Get away from this Kane saga rather sooner than later. I predict he will have a poor season at Bayern München.
This was expected 😂 Southgate is tactically mediocre. He has some good players, and he doesn't know how to get them firing. Constantly relying on cursed Kane to win him matches
Good day for the Spanish. Tennis and Footy.
A friendly reminder: Spain started to win trophies since Raul left.
Going into the 2026 World Cup, Harry Kane will still be England’s first choice striker. By the time the next major tournament starts, he’ll be 32 and with that age; he has another tournament left in him. As great of a striker he is in terms of his goalscoring record, he has no luck when it comes to trophies and time and time again, he flatters to deceive in big games. For club and country, he has lost 6 finals without scoring a single goal (0 goals and 0 assists in the 2018 World Cup semifinals against Croatia, 2020 and 2024 EUROs finals against Italy and Spain respectively), not to mention that against France in the World Cup quarterfinals, he missed that infamous penalty and sent his kick to space. He has now won Golden Boots at both the EUROs and the World Cup and while that’s great on his personal record that he can score goals, people won’t care because he didn’t win anything.
He didn’t really have a great EUROs despite being the joint top scorer and there were calls by many people that he should be dropped in favor of Ivan Toney or Ollie Watkins, in games where you expect to step up and produce, he’s being subbed off with 30 minutes to go when his team is chasing a goal in a final as in front of the whole world, he proved that he’s a bottler in big games in that regard because he crumbles whenever the lights are the brightest. If Gareth Southgate is still the England manager by the time the World Cup starts in 2026, Kane will be starting over Toney Watkins Solanke or any other English striker that rises, depending on who their best manager will be and his physical condition that decides whether he’ll keep starting for them and that shouldn’t even be a conversation since regardless of his performances; he’s always going to play.
I don’t believe Southgate will carry on. He thought about quitting after Qatar; I think he’ll call it day.
Kane is a Temu version of himself.
EURO 2020 have Chance ENGLAND to WIN! .... ANSWER of all the questions
I thought he could walk on water and was the second coming????
not Harry Kane for starters.
Giving best player of the tournament to Rodri instead of Nico Williams is a travesty that highlights the racism of the UEFA
Wow...
As if Yamal didn't win best young player of the tournament.
