World Cup 2018: Why the Golden Boot fits for England's Harry Kane
Comments section full of the usual drivel.
To be fair to the author, 4 of the 5 previous golden boot winners moved clubs either that season or the following season. The only exception is Muller who has only played for Bayern, who certainly had the opportunity to move but chose not to do so.
Looking at the transfer history of all top-scorers since 1986 (because I already wasted too much time looking at this), golden boot winners who had already changed clubs in the year or two previous were much more likely to make a big money move. Whereas, those who had stayed close to home and/or had only been loaned out didn't make a move.
Yeah but why not point out your better analysis in the article, that some don't move. I mean the golden boot winner is always going to be in demand and Kane was already excellent so could move to any club in the world - if he chose to - but he just signed a huge contract, and has shown no hint at wanting to leave etc. so why don't they point that out? They have an agenda cause they are all fans of other clubs, that's why in my view.
In fairness to the author, Kane has already moved from Spurs half a dozen times already, so of course he's going to leave again, just a month after signing a new deal.
Staggering.
The quotes here are just bloody lovely. Bring it home, son.
At the start of the Columbia game he'd had 6 shots in the tournament and scored 5 goals.
Think that's now 6 goals from 9 shots.
Tableau Public
Officially he's had 5 shots from open play and one of those wasn't even a shoot as it deflected off his heel.

I'm no expert but that looks photoshopped to me
Some of the responses to the original tweet are, while being close to the bone, hilarious.
