Harry Kane now joint top scorer on 09:19 - Jul 11 with 2063 views | SuperKieranMcKenna | Great strikers get goals even when they aren’t playing well. He scored 36 times this season at the highest levels of European football, he’s not turned cr@p overnight so you have to assume he’s carrying an injury of some sort which has limited his mobility. |  | |  |

I have been convinced he's still carrying a back injury and I know he's a great striker I just found it surprising. |  | |  |

Its mad the amount of stick Kane gets. As you say he's just scored 36 Bundesliga goals last season getting him the Golden shoe across Europe, plus 8 Champions league goals which was joint top with Mbappe, and is he's level for the golden boot at the Euros with 3 in 6. Agree he's not been on the top of his game but he looks exhausted to me. |  | |  |
Harry Kane now joint top scorer on 09:54 - Jul 11 with 1924 views | ElephantintheRoom | It happened because the ref gave him a penalty for kicking a Dutchman. Bellingham had two goals before last night’s game as well despite not playing all that well. I guess they are doing their jobs and take their chances. Not too many glaring misses for England so far. |  |

I think people need to get real a little bit too and understand how football works at that level. We seem to have a lot of delusional fans that think we've got a god given right to be slapping sides. We've got a lot of good players, but we're not that good to merit such entitlement. Don't get me wrong the performances haven't been great, but we need to remember they're all there off the back of long domestic campaigns (and European competitions for many), as well as tedious Euros qualifying. No rest, and straight in to international duty and a major tournament. There's no surprise the quality hasn't been great, and its not just from England. I don't think strong sides like Italy, Croatia, Germany, France, Belgium etc were any great shakes either to be honest. Spain are perhaps the only exception, but it took a 119th minute winner against Germany to avoid penalties and they weren't particularly threatening against France IMO. |  | |  |

Harry Kane now joint top scorer on 13:42 - Jul 11 with 1524 views | BloomBlue | Did they also say last night that Kane has scored more goals in the league phase of the Euro finals than any other player? |  | |  |

Not really, I took the OP to mean that Kane had been poor at scoring joints but had nevertheless amassed quite a few. Now that would have helped to explain why he appears languid on the pitch... |  |

You could add that a lot of the mystery and enjoyment has gone out of competitions like these as it’s basically club colleagues playing each other. Often in games where the main priority is not to lose. England players have to be brilliant in every game - pesky foreigners just once or twice in the competition. imagine if Foden was Spanish - the hype after his two startling efforts last night I genuinely half hoped France were going to win the tournament without scoring a goal from open play. Turkey were fun to watch as are Spain - even their game with France descended into abject tedium after the first half. |  |

'imagine if Foden was Spanish' I now have an image of Foden in waiter's uniform briskly waltzing between tables with a tray of paella and wine glasses perfectly balanced. |  |

It feels like the football equivalent of a 100m race where everybody else has tripped at the start and knocked themselves out, except the massive fat bloke who is going to win with a time of 38 seconds. |  | |  |
Harry Kane now joint top scorer on 21:51 - Jul 11 with 984 views | MK1 | World Class striker. Think where we would have been without him. Yes, he has looked a little knackered this tournament, but still a World Class striker. |  |
