Harry Kane is England’s all time leading goal scorer, the highest scoring European footballer in the knockout stages of major international tournaments, and he just won the European Golden Shoe, scoring 44 goals in 45 games, in his debut season at Bayern Munich.
And yet, following UEFA Euro 2024, questions are being asked of Kane’s talents, mentality, and continued trophylessness.
In this video, HITC Sevens takes a look at some of those arguments, and the discourse surrounding Kane following the Euros, and attempts to make sense of it all.

That first team selection was straight up dysfunctional.
just curious, with his record now being broken, are videos going to be started now with "without further (cavan) sullivan…."
Lionel Messi played six international championship games before finally scoring in one. To be clear, I'm not putting Kane on that iconic level but he's far from the only one who doesn't deliver what is taken for granted in specific matches.
I am by no means an EnglandBayernTottenham or Kane fan but he just has no luck in finals. In the 2019 Champions League final against Liverpool he was injured in the run up to that game but Pochetino played him anyway while being unfit and he was a complete passenger and should not have started the game. Sound familiar?
I'll not lie I find the fact he's trophyless quite funny but there's no doubt he is a great player
The man's a jinx.
I feel sorry for him, he now has that idiot Kompany as his manager on top of everything else.
Maturing is realizing Kane is a pen merchant for England
He is a meme 😂😂
Harry Kane could go to Celtic and Hibs will end up winning the league
My criticism of Kane is the same I had with Suárez in 2019. Don't play through an injury. Haters gonna hate either way. For his own good, and England's, Kane should've insisted to Southgate on his lack of fitness, so Watkins could be the starter, while Kane assumed a moral support role as captain, and perhaps a super sub to get in the last 10 minutes.
Kane's career decision making has been genuinely awful. He chose to stay at tottenham when it has been clear for a long time that tottenham are the poorest of the big 6, they simply dont have the financial clout to build squads good enough to compete with the rest of the big 6. He then eventually left Tottenham only to join bayern munich a club in major turmoil.
Hindsight is 20/20 but he has consistently made really poor decisions on which club to join.
No we don’t . He’s overrated just like all English players and Spain showed them that La liga is superior to the EPL . I see y the Ballon d’or goes to the La liga players smh
If he was injured he should have been coming off the bench. Watkins, Toney and even Bowen are all more than capable deputies. The fact he's captain is irrelevant, he can still motivate his teammates in the locker room.
Despite his poor showing, Southgate deserves the blame as with these tactics you could give him Ronaldo, Rivaldo and Ronaldinho and he'd still mess it up!
He is 100% cursed
Alfie, you're absolutely right, but don't be so shocked. People don't care about facts anymore…
Blah blah blah….. Your a bunch of bottlejobs…..
I still remember when they called him a one season wonder lol
it's not about fitness. He seems to want to do it all himself. he drops deep to collect and make play when he's actually there to play as a forward. he needed to trust the other playmakers in his team, which he didn't.
What REALLY needs talking about is the masonic one eyed symbolism from Kane in the thumbnail, as well as all the other devil puppets in the England team and competitors at the Euros. Bad people showing you exactly who and what they are. ALL pro footballers are masons and, like their fellow Brothers, think of fans as 'vile' and 'profane'. Southgate, a high degree mason, can easily be found online making the masonic pontiff (pointing) gesture outside the Freemasons Arms in London.
Kane is shit
Jermaine Defoe is better
Dzeko is better etc
He’s fucking shit. Like actually shit. He can score but he does it via doubles and trebles in insigivniant games
Kane's curse is so strong, it ended one of the most dominant domestic streaks and killed Neverkusen just to keep going.
Good video. Unfortunately your comment section looks a lot like those tweets @19:32. It stinks here.
Alcoholics Anonymous would like to congratulate Harry Kane on his 14 consecutive years without raising a cup.
Statsboys saldy realize like, like Lewandoeski and Cristiano, scoring 3000000 goals vs the second division cup opposition and the last 5 place teams doesn{t correlate to be actually important in big games LOL
Unfortunately might have to unsubscribe you man. u have become very biased. I saw the same English rhetoric first for Qatar World Cup and now with Harry Kane.
Have at them idiots, Alfie!
Disagree with the view that he performed well, for his standards anyway, at euro 2020. His performance in the groups was rightly criticised, and while he did score 4 in 3 in the knockouts, 2 of them came against a very poor Ukraine team that we beat 4-0, and 1 of them was a rebound off a penalty that he missed in the first place. Even the goal against Germany came after we went 1-0 up, and the Germans had pushed players up the pitch in search of an equaliser. He was by no means terrible, but I wouldn’t say he was ‘integral’ in the run to the final, and underperformed in his overall game that tournament.
