Harry Kane Offers Both an Attacking Threat and Tactical Problem for England

Published: September 10, 2015

commentNo Comments

For a long time at Wembley on Tuesday, England were toothless, lacking the incisiveness or guile to break Switzerland down. Then Harry Kane came on, and there was a spark, a sense of ruthlessness that within 10 minutes had yielded a goal, setting England on their way to an eighth win out of eight in qualifying. Welcome as Kane’s goal was, and more penetrative as England looked once he’d...

There was something baffling about the reaction to Lionel Messi’s performance in last Saturday’s Copa America final, which Argentina lost on penalties to Chile. It wasn’t just that he was criticised for his performance—which was understandable enough given how little impact he made on the game—it was the clear glee certain people took in the assessment and, most particularly,...

The problem with international friendlies, at least in terms of assessing the development of a team, is that they encourage managers to do things they wouldn’t ordinarily consider.

There is something...

During the press conference after Nigeria had beaten Ivory Coast in the African Cup of Nations quarter-final in February, Mark Gleeson—the doyen of South African football journalism—raised his hand to ask a question. Stephen Keshi, Nigeria’s coach, saw him and recognised a figure who has dominated reporting on the African game for a couple of decades. “Big man,” he beamed... 


Croatia Have Glaring Weaknesses to Address Before the World Cup in Brazil

Croatia made it through their World Cup play-off against Iceland on Tuesday night with a level of comfort, despite having Mario Mandzukic sent off before half-time, but for all the quality in their squad, they are still some way short of reaching the sort of level they should be aiming at. Niko Kovac took over as coach from the deeply unpopular Igor Stimac at the end, and he acknowledged there is still...
