Did his continuous antics in our matches v Spuds not get you a little miffed?
The TV commentary seems to agree with me
English folk?
Exactly that. The foul takes precedence over the potential offside.
So England played poorly but came away with a draw away to Germany. That's the sort of thing good teams do, right?
It is so bizarre how so many seemingly sensible and intelligent people lose their shit when it comes to England. There's an almost desperate need for England to fail. If that's not true then it's how it comes across.
Better players and better managers have consistently done worse than this squad and this manager. Just enjoy it.
Its not a bad result but Germany really isn't particularly good currently.
Also not sure England ever had a better squad.
Agree, there is no chance for him to stand up in that situation. Doesn't make it a penalty as they accidently trip over each other rather than one player fouling the other, but not a dive.

Southgate described himself as 'pleased' with the level of performance against Germany. Thought we competed well against a dynamic and focused Germany side who are very much on the up. Draw was a fair result overall and I'd have happily taken a point before the game but one point from the first two fixtures means 6 points are an absolute must from the two coming home fixtures.
There are plumbers on here who could do a better job, in under 5 minutes.

My 90 year old mother would have stayed on her feet there. You know what Kane is going to do,he's very good at it but it doesn't make it right.It's cheating,simple as that. Don't get me wrong,it happens all the time and we had an expert in the dark arts of winning free-kicks and penalties, but, it's cheating nevertheless. Remember him backing into Lallana and then rolling over his back to win the equalising penalty a season or so back? Cheat!
No more than anyone else, maybe rename this “Harry Kane meltdown thread”
50th goal up and on course to the record to go with his Golden boot from a World Cup and England’s top scorer in finals.
Agree. Cheating, but it was also dangerous what he did to Lalana.
England. Led by Liars and cheats

Changing the subject for a moment from “is one of England’s greatest ever strikers a cheat or not because he’s shafted the Albion once or twice and the referee is an innocent bystander, forever hoodwinked by Kane’s tricks”, I could watch Hazza take penalties every day. He puts all of those who say penalties are a lottery to shame.

Yes indeed it was and he was very clever at it, if it is not stamped down on, and referees don't blow for a foul carry on.
You cannot deny as much as I dislike his "cheating" it works and he is determined to win at all costs.
One of those in your squad is a very handy player to have indeed, we would be in love with him if he wore the stripes.
Nailed on free kicks all over the place, with the odd penalty thrown in, he is a team and game changer.
Still a cheat ?
I am not so sure, just plays to rules even if he bends them.

He did intentionally put a fellow professional at risk of serious injury, not good
Does he? As he stood over the ne last night, the commentator reeled off the stat that he'd previously converted 13 of 17 penalties for England.
76% success, which is just UNDER the PL average.
(I was surprised it wasn't higher tbh, as I don't remember him missing many)

I agree with those saying .....
Southgate's results record and the way he conducts himself deserves massive respect and should be in the discussion when talking about the best England manager of all time (people found Ramsay and Robson's selections and tactics odd sometimes)
Kane is a genuinely world class striker. Yes he's got a bit of dark arts about him, but no more than, say, Shearer.
I don't really understand English people who are strongly against this England team. Young players, hugely talented, speak well. Seem a decent enough bunch as footballer go
Germany are a pretty good international side. They look like a w/c quarter final side to me. Obviously well coached, with a clear identity, maybe just lacking the goal threat that you see in potential winners. An away draw is a good result

He flatters to deceive ….

It’s been said by others on here but some of the comments on here are baffling.
In regards to Southgate it is results that matters and he has been the second most successful manager in our history. Far more decorated managers have done nothing like as well with far more talented squads. I also read about having easy draws, in 2018 that’s fair but in 2021 we had Germany, Croatia, Denmark (who were absolutely flying) and Italy and ultimately only lost on penalties. Noticeable also that Pep doesn’t trust Grealish in the biggest games but Southgate is castigated for it.
As for Kane the level of abuse on here is unbelievable. So he’s won a penalty by being cute against us and has stolen a few free kicks, given some of the tackles I have seen our players put in the hypocrisy is staggering, I also remember Sanchez being praised by many for his red card against Newcastle for goodness sake.
He has reached 50 international goals in less games than Ronaldo, Messi, Neymar and Lewandowski. He’s won a World Cup golden boot, hes already equalled the England tournament record including four goals in the knock out stages of Euros to fire us to a final. He will smash every England record and will go down as a legend despite what some on here think.

Of course, but you shouldn't let that alter the facts from last nights penalty.
