The outer Harry Kane is identical to every other bad-good lower-middle-elite awkward-diffident English player who ever skied a penalty under pressure; the inner Harry Kane is a zero-at-the-bone assassin without a fuck to give; this combination is perhaps the most confounding thing in all of sports
Mark Copelovitch"Harry Kane has scored more World Cup goals than Pelé" is something that is both true & incredibly impressive & also feels completely wrong
This is so good and I got very emotional at the end!
