Well last night it was not just domestic makes you WC.
You have to perform in CL and Tournaments.
That makes Hoddle and Gazza not WC.

Yet Kane has played in as many CL campaigns as Shearer.
Played 11 less games and equalled his goal CL tally already
Scored 10 goals 20 less than Shearer in 3 x less games international, yet only 9 of Shearers 30 goals came in Tournaments, 3 of them. Kane has the ability to score 9 as he has another 3 tournaments in him.
But he's not WC yet, according to Henry.

Fucking jokers
I wonder if Henry and Carragher will tell Wright he's not WC.
Funny how World classand Coutinho go hand in hand despite Kane having more European goals and Intnl tournament experience and is younger
 
Are people on here seriously considering dropping Lloris for Vorm over a misplaced clearance? Hugo made 3 very good saves last night. Clean sheet (even if fortunate). Kane misplaced a pass in the first half, shall we drop him too? Mental.
 
Came out to Cyprus on Friday for this, watched the Pikey game in the sports bar in Protaras watching a few of the knuckle dragging gypseys getting the right hump with the number of spurs over here!!

Looking forward to this but just hope we don’t expect to win as we play war worse when expected to get a result!! COYS
 
Bit of random news

Apoel are currently 11th (out of 14) in the Cyprus Division 1 - and have amassed 4 points in 3 games. Their last win was on 9 September

Bit of random trivia

No Cypriot side has ever beaten English opposition in European competition, in 12 attempts (D2 L10)

In fact, APOEL's only previous encounter with an English club came in the 2009/10 Champions League group stages against Chelsea. The Cypriot team lost 1-0 in Nicosia before securing a 2-2 draw in London

Tottenham have faced Cypriot opposition more times than any other English club in European competition (Anorthosis Famagusta in the 2007/08 UEFA Cup first round, AEL Limassol in the 2014/15 Europa League play-offs). They've scored 12 goals and conceded only three in those four games (W3 D1)

APOEL have lost 10 of their last 12 Champions League games (W1 D1). They have also failed to score in 10 of their last 13 outings, remaining goalless in each of their last five games

APOEL have never kept a clean sheet at home in the Champions League group stages (9 games)

APOEL have progressed to the knockout stages of the Champions League only once in their three previous appearances. They were knocked out by Real Madrid in the quarter-finals of the 2011/12 campaign
