Only two in front of lukaku though and there’s still the third place playoff, though you can’t see anyone else winning that honour now.
Much as I love Harry Kane, it would be one of the less auspicious Golden Boots - three penalties and a deflection out of six! Let's hope he adds a couple more "proper" goals today. Actually, on second thoughts I'd happily take another penalty and a ricochet from half a yard off his left ear.
Yeah he's quietly got on with it really. I'm struggling to remember many chances for him since the opening game against Tunisia.
Probably why even though he's a few clear for Golden Boot, he's a big price for player of the tournament. As I said about him the other day it's great to see a football player who hates tattoos, doesn't drink and is still with the childhood sweetheart. He breaks down all stereotypes and is surely two games away from being knighted.
Regarding tonight's game, the key to winning the game could be by stifling Modric of the ball. To that end, Southgate may opt for a man marking strategy. A weak link for Croatia is Lovren. I watched Tottenhams Premiership game against Liverpool at Wembley and recall that as well as Kane scoring twice and Alli once, Kieran Trippier was absolutely outstanding that day as well. Spurs front three gave Lovren such a torrid time that Klopp replaced him with only 31 minutes of the game gone. More of that tonight would do nicely.
