Kane has scored so many international goals, I often forget the sheer number.
81 goals in 115 caps is obscene.
The list has its own Wiki page (much like the Portuguese fella)
Kids will likely find it cute that 49 took so long to be surpassed, and how seismic it felt when Rooney finally did it.
Yes its Lionel Messi (he's done quite a lot of things in the last 15 or so years) but if ANYONE else had taken that penalty so casually the commentators would be apoplectic with them. Because its him? Whoops. Oh well, carry on.
Just having a short break from being productive to see the lay of the World Cup land. First half of the groups you can just about make out who's going through. Bosnia will definitely make top 8 best 3rd placed. Sweden v Japan is all to play for.
Looks like Mexico 🇲🇽 and Brazil 🇧🇷 if England can overcome that, are in our immediate future. That Mexico game would be 1am on a Monday night, so, brilliant.
If Cristiano Ronaldo had taken that pen in THAT fashion, they'd be plenty of this:
[Note: NOT a defence of Cristiano Ronaldo]
If we stopped the groups now (obvs accepting that many teams have only played once) the knockout rounds would be box office:
🇳🇴 Nor v 🇸🇪 Swe
🇨🇩 DRC v 🇬🇭 Ghana
🏴 Eng v 🇵🇹 Port
🇦🇷 Arg v 🇺🇾 Ury
Germany v Scotland feels distinctly World Cuppish. Brazil v Japan is nice. I could go for an Ivory Coast v France
Its a penalty. Of course its a penalty. Two players are tackling him, one wins it the other doesn't. Its a penalty. I made that decision immediately for you, FIFA.
And Messi sends it wide in the most irritatingly casual way. This match is already a farce.
Tired of having to be fearful of drawing teams in football (they should be afraid to play England!), but ironically we good do with Ronaldo & co (or the Portuguese team + Ronaldo) kicking on a bit as we'd currently play them in the round of 32.
There's still about 47,000 permutations though
