Harry Kane not fit that bill then?
[doublepost=1530810137][/doublepost]
Very true. He comes across as a nice grounded guy.
Wait - are you guys talking about winning the wc already?!
Seems like the last big team you actually beat was 16 years ago..and we're still waiting
I'm not. I am happy with the (genuine) progress England has made in this tournament as opposed to the false dawns of previous efforts. I also recognise that this is still a fledgeling team with better rivals still in the competition. Our biggest problem remains creating goals from open play and we cannot rely on set pieces and the odd penalty. However, a solid defence with a bit of luck can still drag a team through further than its strengths suggest.
I would be overjoyed with a semi final finish.
Dang, I forgot Kane! I think that’s a good thing. He is a quiet star. Goes about his business, and plays with the team. He’s not above it. Does that make sense? I think he is a great super star then Neymar for that very reason.
Well I think Kane has a lot of the qualities on and off the pitch that I think make him a star.
Completely agree! He’s not a flashy star though like Neymar. I like him a lot better. If Real Madrid were to get either of them, I would take Kane. Much better team player and way less drama.
Pretty sure he's staying out at Spurs. He just signed a 6 year deal before the WC.
Yep I think so too. I think that’s why Madrid is looking else where. Same reason we didn’t get Pochettino. He just signed that big extension, and it would have cost way to much. I think Kane is a good fit for Tottenham. I am happy with that as Tottenham is my team in the EPL. I think Kane really wants to play in the new stadium, which looks incredible.
Ours is better!
Apparently Wilshere has had talks at West Ham. But he's keeping his options open.
In other words hoping for a better offer.
Hope he gets one. He is good, but injury prone. That's why Arsenal are releasing him.
I don't to be honest, but we paid a much better price!
Sadly I've never been. I live several hours away and it's season tickets only. Plus it's difficult for me to commit a day away for 90 minutes of entertainment (or probably just disappointment!).
Lol I understand! I have never been to an European stadium. Just to the stadium in Atlanta Ga in the US that the Atlanta United play. It’s pretty freaking cool.
I think I've been to that one! When the Olympics was on. Would that be the one they used for the soccer?
Was it a dome? If it was, that’s was the GA some. They just destroyed that last year and build Mercedes-Benz stadium, which has a retractable room. It’s really cool.
No not a dome. I saw baseball at one standout in Atlanta. Thinking back the football was near by, but not in Atlanta. It was a college. I remember you could see the pitch from the road so people just watched from their whilst having a beer.
Oh the thing most every Ga sports fan loves. American football, and it was Sanford stadium were the Dawgs play. University of Ga. It’s one of the most historical stadiums in college football. This right?
Sanford Stadium. I looked it up.

Between the hedges...Oh the thing most every Ga sports fan loves. American football, and it was Sanford stadium were the Dawgs play. University of Ga. It’s one of the most historical stadiums in college football. This right?
Oh you know the our tag line? I have to be honest, this was my first love. Growing up 15 minutes from the stadium where now some 96,000+ fans cheer on UGA, it’s hard not to be. It really is an incredible atmosphere. European football won me over though. Still love my Dawgs though.
The UGA games are amazing! What was the atmosphere like for football (soccer)?
I'm an American I love American football too... Also I live in the south.
Oh well dang! I had no idea. Awesome, sometimes I feel people here don’t get American football. I like it a lot, but football European style won me over.
