Harry Kane is actually really good. Not world class like OP is claiming but to claim he's a meme is ridiculous.
I'd like to say "well when we get Spain in the semis and he scores a hat trick then you'll be eating your words" but we both know that won't happen.
Their stupid manager who wont start vardy will.
>>67678641
Rashford
Deeney
>Four world class strikers
Then why are they playing in England?
Checkmate, atheists.
>>67679028
One good season does not make him world class, especially seeing that he is at best a late bloomer.
That being said, given his current form he should absolutely be a starter unless there is something wrong with chemistry and shit.
>>67678687
>Sturridge

You aren't going to win every game 5-4

46 goals in 70 games in the best league on earth. World class.
>Jamie Vardy
24 goals in 36 games, playing the key role in the biggest sporting upset in history. World class.
>Daniel Sturridge
43 goals in 68 games for Liverpool, all while battling against injuries. World class.
>Wayne Rooney
Has been playing at an elite level for the last 12 (twelve) years. Legend of the game.
>>67679748
Good teams
>>67679693
Ok, without any help, please name Germany's 2014 strikers, Spain's 2012 and 2010 strikers, Greece's 2008 strikers and Italy's 2006 strikers.
See what I mean?

2010 spain, david villa get top scorer
greece didn't win in 2008, spain had torres and villa
yeah, great points
>>67680107
>forgetting Italy
A fatal mistake
>>67680122
Also Villa and Torres were the fucking top scorers in 2010 and 2012 though they often played without a striker at all.
Kane is unironically world class
the rest are memes
>>67680107
Roy will find a way to make sure England goes home fast. Remember, he got 1 point vs Italy, Uruguay and Costa fucking Rica.
Same for us, just change Roy by Vincent of the Forest
>>67680216
kane is slow and technically shit
literally english jiroo
>>67680287
that fucking finish though
>>67680287
>technically shit
Confirmed for never watching him
>>67680216
>Kane
Nope. His top class but not world class like Suarez as an example. Suarez scored like 8 more goals in 3-5 less games when he won the golden boot in 2014. Kane also doesnt carry spurs like Suarez did with a shit Liverpoo who conceded a fuckton of goals that season
>>67678604
Stones, Cahill and Smalling
>>67680449
Is reaching the goals scored in a season record the bar for being world class?
>>67679172
>>67680287
>Le get the ball 20 yards from goal and turn and shoot man
probably the most one dimensional striker in the PL - he can be effective but he's hardly world class. The fact that he has 1 assist in the 2nd highest scoring team in the league pretty much sums up how shite his all round game is.
>0 even moderately adequate defenders
That's what will stop us.
>>67683748

England has without a doubt the best striker duo in Euro 16, both of who recently scored in England's 3-2 over Germany
Of the players that have hit the 20-goal mark in one of the Top 5 leagues, England is the only team that features more than one...

He'll start, just probably on the wing and not up front. Rooney and Kane will be the front 2, guaranteed.
>>67678698
England is loaded
put Vardy and Kane up top (with age 18 Marcus Rashford as their sub), then do a diamond midfield behind them with Rooney at CAM, Sterling and Sturridge on the wings, and plenty of options at defensive mid

Scottish football coach and author Stevie Grieve (whose 'Coaching the 4-2-3-1' - the WCC best seller in 2012) says he'd do a diamond midfield with Barkley/Rooney at top behind Vardy and Kane. For the rest of the diamond he'd do: Dier Wilshere, Alli

>>67686945
that's the same thing Jack Gaughan (sports journalist at the Daily Mail) would do...a 4-4-2 diamond with Rooney up top behind Vardy and Kane. The rest of his diamond midfield would be Dier - Alli - Henderson

Note in the last week of March, England went to Berlin and beat a pretty much full-strengh Germany team, and the best players weren't just Kane and Vardy, but also the two young hotshot Tottenham midfielders Alli and Dier:
the line-ups:
ENGLAND
-----Jack Butland (Stoke City)--------
Clyne - Smalling - Cahill - Rose
--------------------------Dier------------------------
------------Henderson ------ Alli-------------
Lallana/Barkley - Kane - Welbeck/Vardy
Goals by Kane, Vardy, Alli
GERMANY
Gomez
Reus - Ozil - Muller
Kroos - Khedira
Hector - Hummels - Rudiger - Can
Neuer
"In Euro qualification England started off using a midfield diamond, before later turning to a 4-3-3. Either way, England uses one defensive midfielder with two others just ahead"
http://www.fourfourtwo.com/us/features/michael-cox-can-hodgson-fit-both-kane-and-vardy-his-england-side-if-not-who#:aEbhhPDlRsCzfA
That defensive midfielder against Germany was Eric Dier of Tottenham, who had a hell of a game, but it was his Tottenham teammate .
Dele Alli that was named Man of the Match
>>67690891
The Telegraph:
"Alli was excellent. He drove England forward when they were two goals down and with his fearlessness, energy and belief he showed the way ahead of older and far more experienced players.
It was his shot, saved by Manuel Neuer, which was the catalyst for England to get back into the game. He is the complete midfielder and is still just 19. He is already, quite possibly, England’s most important player which is a quite incredible statement given this time last year he was still playing for MK Dons.
...
Should Hodgson build his team around Alli?
The England manager said pre-match that the 19-year-old midfielder can do ‘anything’. And he showed just that. He is simply not fazed by any challenge thrown at him. He took the number 10 shirt – a statement of intent in itself given it is Wayne Rooney’s number – and he immediately demonstrated he belonged in this company.
He was the classic number eight – getting up and ahead of centre-forward Harry Kane to create chances and linking the play well from midfield. There was skill, confidence – a few flicks – and work-rate. ... Alli is here to stay in this England team and is its present as well as its future."

Guess our US ninja turtles are world class since we beat Germany. Germany are a tournament team. Dont let delusion fool you. England are currently a top 10 team but they are not better than France Germany or even Spain atm. Especially with the awful selection Roy has chosen
>>67685712
Juami was a first team starter with 34 appearances for Malaga last season. He joined Southampton and hasn't had a single start, only 7 substitute appearances.
Are you saying that Southampton's Juanmi is better than Vardy and Kane?

What a putz (look it up)
Germany's defense sucks, who will their full backs be? And with Klose retired their #9 is now Mario Gomez? Lol
And Spain is much less impressive than England...
Midfielders: Bruno (Villarreal), Sergio Busquets (Barcelona), Koke (Atletico Madrid), Thiago (Bayern Munich), Andres Iniesta (Barcelona), Isco (Real Madrid), David Silva (Man City), Pedro (Chelsea), Cesc Fabregas (Chelsea), Saul Niguez (Atletico Madrid)
Forwards: Aritz Aduriz (Athletic Bilbao), Nolito (Celta Vigo), Alvaro Morata (Juventus), Lucas Vasquez (Real Madrid)

The Independent:
The golden generation of Gerrard, Beckham, Lampard and Owen has gone, but the likes of Harry Kane, Dele Alli, Raheem Sterling and Eric Dier are now offering the promise and potential which sees England prepare for France with genuine hope
...
Hodgson accepts, however, that his fate will ultimately be judged by elements beyond his control.
“How can you understand that players who are the best technicians in the world, the Roberto Baggios of this world, can suddenly blast penalties over the bar when it matters? ... I don’t know if Dele Alli is going to chip over and hit the post when he has just dribbled past four players. I don’t know those type of things. Everything really depends on the night."
http://www.independent.co.uk/sport/football/international/dele-alli-harry-kane-and-england-youth-offer-promise-of-bright-summer-says-roy-hodgson-a6993716.html
Sports Illustrated:
Harry Kane (age 22), Dele Alli (age 20) are present, future for Tottenham, England
"Harry Kane is a certain starter for England at Euro 2016 ... Almost as certain is Alli, who turned 20 last week. Quick, industrious, skillful and imaginative, he is the sort of creative midfield spark England has lacked since Paul "the most naturally gifted English midfielder of his generation" Gascoigne’s demise, and his understanding with Kane has clearly been a major part of both of their development. ... Kane (age 22) and Alli (age 20) have transformed Spurs. They might also be transforming England."
http://www.si.com/planet-futbol/2016/04/22/harry-kane-dele-alli-tottenham-spurs-england-pochettino
England's striking options are the best since Euro 2000
...
two English forwards have emerged from nowhere since World Cup 2014. When Hodgson named his squad for Brazil, Kane (only 22 now) had managed three career goals in the Premier League, while Jamie Vardy hadn’t even made his top-level debut."

Germany legend Lothar Matthaus called Dele Alli the best player on the pitch even though he was up against the likes of Mesut Ozil, Toni Kroos, Sami Khedira, Marco Reus and Thomas Muller.
...
Matthaus’s praise on TV was relayed to Hodgson and clearly struck a chord with him because it came from one of Germany’s all-time greats.
“The TV people told me Lothar Matthaus said he was the best player on the pitch. That’s some praise indeed,” said Hodgson.
“He was against France as well. His performance was man of the match. He was fantastic in that game. If anything has really pleased me here, he was able to come out and do the same again in more difficult circumstances.
“You could argue that France at home is a little bit less daunting than Germany away. At the moment all you can see with Dele Alli is a very, very bright future. It’s up to him, and his club"

I've tried to make a decent formation for England without leaving out Vardy, Kane or Rooney but imo its impossible so we're gonna face the same problem we always face at tournaments. Trying to fit our best players into the same team.
Either that or drop one of Rooney, Vardy or Kane
