Tottenham’s Top Scorer Under Pressure: Can Kane Break the Curse?
Sportsindo – Spain and England will meet in the final of Euro 2024. The Spain vs England duel will be played at the Olympiastadion, Monday, 15 July 2024, at 02:00 WIB.
England qualified for the final after winning 2-1 over the Netherlands in the semifinals. The Netherlands took a quick lead through Xavi Simons’ goal in the 7th minute, but England were able to turn things around. England won through captain Harry Kane’s 18th-minute penalty and Ollie Watkins’ 90th-minute goal.
In the previous edition, at Euro 2020, England also qualified for the final. However, Kane and his friends failed to win. In the final match at Wembley, they lost on penalties to Italy.
This time, England, who have never won the Euro, set foot in the final again. Will England be able to win their first Euro title?
According to netizens, because of Harry Kane, England will not win. How so?
Harry Kane who never got the trophy
The reason is, Harry Kane seems cursed not to mate with the championship trophy. This is not only at club level, but also in the national team.
At Tottenham, Kane has never won. Moving to Bayern Munich (which incidentally is a specialist champion in Germany) in the 2023/2024 season yesterday, Kane was again without a title. With the England national team, his fate was the same.
With Tottenham, Kane was only the runner-up of the EFL Cup 2014/15 and 2020/21, as well as the 2018/19 Champions League. With the England national team, Kane has only won third place in the 2018/19 UEFA Nations League and runner-up at Euro 2020.
Will Kane’s curse continue in the Euro 2024 final?
Will Southgate take England to the top
Southgate ball & Southgate masterclass substitutions is the answer. It’s coming home
Gareth Southgate says that he is not afraid of facing Spain in the Euro 2024 final. Southgate is actually very excited about this match.
The Euro 2024 final will feature a duel between two of Europe’s top teams, Spain vs England. This match is scheduled to take place on Monday (15/7/2024) early morning WIB at the Olympiastadion, Berlin.
England advanced to the final after winning over the Netherlands with a score of 2-1. Left behind by Xavi Simons’ quick goal, England turned around to win through Harry Kane’s penalty and Ollie Watkins’ goal.
No Fear of Finals
Facing Spain, whose performance is more convincing, Southgate is not afraid at all. He also wants his team to play without fear in the final.
“I’m not afraid of tomorrow because I’ve been through everything,” Southgate said.
“I want the players to have that courage. If we are not afraid of losing, it gives us a better chance of winning. Overall, I’m excited for tomorrow.”
Beware of Spain
Southgate is well aware that Spain is a dangerous opponent. Even so, Southgate wants his troops to show their quality in the final.
“They have a very clear way of playing, a very calm team, they press very well and intensely – like all Spanish teams, they have the ball very well,” he continued.
“We’ve also had the ball very well in the last few games in particular. We showed our true colours, the version of ourselves that we wanted to bring to this tournament.”
