Yep, they would. What’s the reason? Perhaps, some combination of unreasonable expectations of success from the press and the public, together with many players not really caring that much (with some notable exceptions - eg Beckham would have always pulled on the shirt with pride and intent)?
Haven’t you just proved my point, at least with regards to Kane? I didn’t say that our strikers aren’t capable of turning in world-class performances, I specifically said they’re shit on the World stage. Kane v Iceland is a brilliant example.
