Why would you think he'd struggle at one of the best teams in europe after doing so well at a medicore one?

Don't know really, apart from believing that he'd be too comfortable at Spurs to play somewhere else before he retires.

 

Had predicted that he wouldn't score for his first few games.

Admittedly, had thought that Kane would struggle at Bayern; but fair play to him in that he's grasping the opportunity very well.

 

This is insane.

Way less talented strikers have done a great job scoring in Bundesliga over the years. He'll score lots but if Bayern fails to win the title it won't mean anything for Kane.

Vini Jr suffers more racist abuse 

 

 

Sevilla have already banned him and reported to the authorities. 

 

Sadly there's footage of a young girl doing it to, clearly brought up by the absolute berks she goes to the game with... 

 

 

Thankfully she has more time to learn than some of the racists around her to change her ways.

Spain gotta Spain. Particularly Southern Spain. Always found the north more accepting (probably because they hated Franco)

[Super_horns]

How sad and depressing .

 

Barcelona v Bilbao is on ITV4 this evening, 8pm kick off

[Tommy Fresh]

TNT seem to have coverage of this weird African Football League, think it was one of Gianni Infantino's brilliant ideas. It's just an 8 team tournament, straight knockout. Still having their Champions and Europa League equivalent competitions though.

Disgraceful. Whether that girl can change who knows. You'd like to hope but i have little faith these days. But, i pray she learns, grows and advocates for minorities and the less fortunate after this.

 

For those of us who are minorities,  less fortunate or even LGBTQ  you never forget these moments.

Lyon 3-3 from 3-1 up against Lorient. They're heading to relegation which will be a shock. 

Lost again today, at home to Clermont Foot.

Marc Guiu. 16 year old making his debut for Barcelona today. Scored with his first touches and within 30 seconds of coming on. Fair play to him!

We might as well just hand Bellingham the Ballon d’or now… Kane keeps scoring too…

Hmm, I think Bellingham was okay against us yesterday, but there are better players around.

It's just five days away until the award is given. It'll be one final award for Messi I'm hearing. 

 

Bellingham certainly looks like a perennial contender for it. It would certainly help his case if he continues his stellar play for England at Euros next year.

[purpleronnie]

It will be messi again, should be Haaland though.  Yanks will be loving it.

Unreal that Haaland won’t get it with the year he has had 

[SouthStandUpperTier]

Soyuncu on the bench for Atletico against Celtic. Just a small walk away from nutting Brendan. Must be tempting for him.

[UniFox21]

I find it hilarious when English Comms seem to think abroad fans will be in awe of St James' Park. 

Dortmund fans, who have the yellow wall, in a league with consistent brilliant displays and atmospheres, will find England nothing more than average. 

[spacemunky]

Bayern with 8 goals in the second half in a 10 vs 9 match against Darmstadt.

 

Kane with the hat-trick.

 

His second goal was from his own half.

He's almost got as many goals for Real in 11 matches, as he did in 3 years at  Dortmund.
