100% true. Rooney at his peak was twice the player Kane is. Better goalscorer, sure.That’s just ridiculous. I am a United fan but not fit to lace his boots but is hilarious
Again not true at all. United fans have a blinkered view unfortunately100% true. Rooney at his peak was twice the player Kane is. Better goalscorer, sure.
Peak Rooney was different gravy. Don't forget his impact on that first Euro he played. You really felt we'd beat everyone with him at that stage.That’s just ridiculous. I am a United fan but not fit to lace his boots but is hilarious
Confusing better player for being in a better team.100% true. Rooney at his peak was twice the player Kane is. Better goalscorer, sure.
Bit harsh on the guy who has close to 200 league goals.And still is going to win F-all for England or Tottenham. Rooney has more trophies and was a better player. Kane cannot lace Rooney’s boots.
He scored two and created three goals in 5 games. What are you on about.
He was magnificent in the group games. If you can't see that then maybe football isn't for you.
Yeah Saxon twatAnyway I'm off to racially abuse him online...
In fairness it never felt like that again with Rooney, he only scored 2 more goals at major tournaments after Euro 2004. At his best he was the better player but Kane has been a much more consistent goal scorer, I'm not sure the gulf between the 2 isn't anywhere near as wide as you're suggesting.Peak Rooney was different gravy. Don't forget his impact on that first Euro he played. You really felt we'd beat everyone with him at that stage.
Has never been anything like that with Kane, as steady a goalscorer as he's been.
They should all go back where they came from, which is... Holland? Where did they come from?Yeah Saxon twat
Because he backed off him in the second half. It doesn’t make any senseCan't feel sorry for him for him for missing the target from a penalty but tonight was a missed opportunity for him to really confirm his place as a truly elite level striker (which he still is btw) He was practically bullying Upamecano every time he went up against him but didn't really take advantage. Shame
Saxony?They should all go back where they came from, which is... Holland? Where did they come from?
Don’t let the same guy take a penalty twice. Especially against a goalie he sees every day.
Awful stuff.
Easy to say in hindsight but it's a pretty damn good point. I think smarter managers make the decision not to let him take it
Who would you have had take the pen instead?100% this, I just knew he would miss, not because he’s shot because he isn’t, someone else should have taken that penalty.
Nah I'd probably be saying Kane should have taken it but that's a different timeline altogether. Foden or Sterling thoughWho would you have had take the pen instead?
If someone else takes it and misses it, would you be on here saying it was the correct decision to take it off Kane?
It would have been absolutely absurd to not let Kane take it. If Kane wanted to take it and Southgate insisted someone else it would have gone down as one of the stupidest managerial decisions ever made.
Ah yeah. Cause Southgate has a great track record as manager regarding penalty kicks…Who would you have had take the pen instead?

If you can genuinely say with a straight face that if Henderson took it and missed, you would come on here and say it was the correct decision to take it off Kane, then fair enough. I don't believe that for a second though, you'd be saying it was a monumentally stupid decision.Ah yeah. Cause Southgate has a great track record as manager regarding penalty kicks…
Foden, Henderson, Bellingham, I don’t know. Just not Kane twice against his own keeper. Call it hindsight, fair enough, but it was true.
interesting fact that.Tweet

He'll be done by 31. His legs won't make it too much further. Wasted at Tottenham but that was expectedLooks very slow nowadays. Still a good player.
Can't understand people claiming that Kane "bottled" the pen. It takes bottle to try and stick a pen in the top corners like Kane does because you know there is always a risk of it getting a bit too airborne (as it did). He mishit it but I think it showed a strong mentality and confidence to try and take the keeper out of the equation (if you fire a pen into the top bins no keeper is saving it whereas a well struck pen down low gets saved if the keeper guesses right).
I think Rooney before the age of 27 sure. I don't think he would have put the pen out of the stadium either.He bottled it. What a disastrous penalty that was.
I’d take Rooney over Kane all day everyday
Another poor tournament? Wasn’t he top scorer at the last edition?Another poor tournament
Yes, but context wise he didn't score a goal in open play after the group stageAnother poor tournament? Wasn’t he top scorer at the last edition?
Agreed. The guy clearly has bottle, his record on penalties is great. He's a human being, he's going to miss from time to time.Can't understand people claiming that Kane "bottled" the pen.

That means he had a good tournament to you? Did you even watch how he scored those goals?Another poor tournament? Wasn’t he top scorer at the last edition?
Great comfort to Roberto BaggioCan't understand people claiming that Kane "bottled" the pen.
