He’s scored against every PL side his ever played against.
15 or so CL goals
Scored against Barca/Real/Dortmund/Juve
But a flat track bully

Kane isn't flair, but he is clearly world class. Any team in the world would sign him.

Sterling is on another level these days. He is world class.

Hurst didnt get to play the likes of Kosovo etc. Anyway I am sure people would argue Hurst wasnt world class as well. I Hate the term for that very reason it always ends up in arguments over what World Class means.
You have a point, it’s about the definition of world class.
Some argue it’s just the likes of Messi, Ronaldo, Hazard, VVD, Silva, De Bruyne, Mbappe.
Sterling is Universe Class.
How can Mbappe be classed as World class and Kane not?
He plays in a joke of a league
I think they both are btw

I know Southgate is wary of Kosovo, and I know he has a way of playing, but do we really need both Henderson and Rice in a home match?
Same with Dier playing all the time. Surely Winks, or even a further forward Maddison would make more sense. Or Rashford with Sterling behind Kane.

Because he is foreign.

Kevin Phillips won the PL golden boot and scored against every PL he played against.
World Class to me at least is elevating your team beyond the sum of it's parts, being the difference between success and not. I haven't seen Spurs or England win anything yet. He could have been the difference in the CL final. Could have been the difference in the WC semi final. They are the contributions that elevate a player to world class in my mind. England had a beatable opponent in the WC, as did Spurs in the CL final. These are the difference a truly world class player makes. He has plenty of time to elevate himself to that, I'm not throwing around the term just because of topping goal charts. Didn't James Rodríguez win the last WC golden boot? What happened to him?
It's what England do time after time. Lampard, Beckham and Gerrard are world class. Rooney is world class. etc. etc. We build them up, then slate them when they don't deliver.
How does playing 28 games against shite opposition and not winning the other 10 games make Kane's CV any better?
Did Philips win the PL golden boot more than once, WC golden boot, have Kanes record for England?

Shall I post you Murray in the goal charts for the last 2 seasons for continued evidence of his inclusion?

Oi, I said that first - I just type slower.
It does seem like the oddest of odd grumbles.
Will they open the west stand upper, tonight ?
If he actually played that many games last year they may well have won something.
