Football News Update: Euro 2024, Champions League, FIFA World Cup, and More
As the football world eagerly awaits the highly anticipated Euro 2024 final, all eyes are on England captain Harry Kane and his performance leading up to the showdown against Spain on Sunday, live on talkSPORT.
Kane has been England’s top goalscorer at Euro 2024 this summer, netting three goals and leveling with four others for the Golden Boot. His penalty in the victory against the Netherlands on Wednesday helped the Three Lions reach the final, but his overall performances have come under scrutiny.
Some have criticized the Bayern Munich man’s fitness levels and lack of movement in the box, with Ollie Watkins’ impressive cameo as a substitute in the semi-final further stoking the debate around Kane’s starting role. talkSPORT pundit Simon Jordan believes Gareth Southgate is unlikely to drop Kane for the final, a view shared by former Manchester United coach Rene Meulensteen, who argues that England might benefit from a more energetic and intense forward line to unsettle Spain.
