CAUGHT IN THE MIDDLE: Harry Kane weighs in on Thomas Tuchel and Jude Bellingham clash's after the German claimed England landed a 'lucky' win over Norway
England captain Harry Kane described playing golf with United States President Donald Trump as a 'pretty surreal experience'. Trump revealed earlier in the week that the pair had previously played a round together‚ telling reporters: 'I think Kane is a great player. I played golf with him and I like him a lot. He's a good golfer too. He's really great.' Kane said it happened 18 months ago in Florida and is envious of Trump's golf game at the age of 80.
If I was a defender‚ I'd lose more sleep over facing Erling Haaland than I would Harry Kane. But if you asked me which striker I'd want leading my team‚ I'd choose Kane every time. That isn't a contradiction. As a defender‚ what keeps you awake isn't always the better footballer‚ it's the player who makes you feel completely helpless. Haaland does that. At times‚ he's simply too big‚ too strong and too quick. If a cross is hung up to the back post‚ if he gets a yard in a foot race or if he catches you one-on-one in open space‚ those are the moments that terrify defenders. You look foolish. Just ask Brazil centre back Gabriel after Norway's 2-1 victory in the last round.
KIERAN GILL: Everything seems so effortless‚ cool‚ and carefree. Yet Olise could so easily have been in Kansas City instead‚ with England ‚ training alongside his Bayern Munich team-mate Harry Kane ‚ preparing to play Norway in Miami this Saturday‚ Thomas Tuchel 's maverick and not Didier Deschamps'.
Harry Kane delighted England fans with a squeaky post-match interview after the epic 3-2 win over Mexico at the World Cup - before revealing a bizarre injury to Jordan Henderson in the celebrations. Kane had clearly lost his voice‚ signing Wonderwall in front of the England fans at one end of the Azteca stadium‚ and struggled to get his words out in a pitchside interview immediately after. But more worryingly‚ Henderson - a non-playing substitute - collapsed on the Azteca pitch and required medical attention for an injury to his arm. One report claimed he had fallen over an advertising hoarding.
KANE AND ABLE! - England captain Kane ready to banish Three Lions' 40-year-old Azteca ghosts in Mexico clash after Maradona meeting
Jamie Carragher has blasted Thomas Tuchel over his 'bizarre' decision to call up Trevoh Chalobah after Tino Livramento suffered injury‚ insisting it has left England short at the World Cup. England scraped through the last 32 after Harry Kane's dramatic late double rescued a 2-1 win over DR Congo‚ setting up a tricky test with World Cup co-hosts Mexico at the Azteca Stadium on Monday morning. After a promising 4-2 victory over Croatia in their first game‚ the Three Lions have looked unconvincing despite topping the group and reaching the last 16‚ sparking concern over the crucial meeting in Mexico City.
Stick to Football‚ brought to you by Sky Bet‚ former Manchester United and Republic of Ireland midfielder Keane believes Jude Bellingham and Kane have the quality to steer England past Mexico. However‚ he conceded that England would likely reach their ceiling in a potential quarter-final against Brazil‚ arguing that the South Americans are well-rounded enough that individual brilliance alone will not carry the Three Lions through.
DR Congo head coach Sebastien Desabre has been praised for his 'dignity and devotion' to the national team after the death of his father was announced following their World Cup last-32 defeat by England. Desabre's side had threatened to produce one of the biggest shocks of the tournament after taking an early 1-0 lead through Brian Cipenga. England required a late Harry Kane brace to send them through to the last-16 at DR Congo's expense.
Mexican media have expressed confidence their national team can end England's World Cup campaign after highlighting weaknesses in Thomas Tuchel's side and the altitude test of the Azteca. The tournament co-hosts watched along as England struggled to a 2-1 victory over DR Congo on Thursday. England fell behind in the opening minutes to a Brian Cipenga effort and toiled for an equaliser‚ before captain Harry Kane struck twice late on to send the Three Lions into the last-16.
The Three Lions boss has been known to give an earful to whichever player is nearest and has done the same to the star against Ghana and in training. England booked their place in the last 16 against Mexico thanks to two late goals from Harry Kane‚ who is now on five goals for the tournament.
