SPORTS.YAHOO.COMGary Lineker hails Harry Kane as greatest English striker weve ever had after equalling World Cup recordGary Lineker said Harry Kane is the greatest English striker weve ever had after the England captain equalled his tally of World Cup goals for the side.Kane scored twice as England beat Croatia 4-2 in their Group L opener in Dallas on Wednesday, with Jude Bellingham and Marcus Rashford also on the scoresheet.The Bayern Munich stars brace saw him move level with Lineker on 10 World Cup goals.Lineker quipped he reached double figures in two tournaments 1986 in Mexico and 1990 in Italy while Kane needed to reach his third World Cup to do so, after featuring in 2018 in Russia, when he won the Golden Boot, and 2022 in Qatar.But the former BBC Match of the Day host was unequivocal about where the England captain and all-time leading goal-scorer ranks among the nations strikers.Im absolutely delighted that Kane equalled my record, Lineker said on The Rest is Football podcast.Welcome to the double-figures club. Its great. I mean, it may have taken him a World Cup more.In all seriousness, Harry Kane is, I think, the greatest English striker weve ever had. I genuinely think that now.His all-round game is, for me, what separates him from all the others.Kane making his impact felt straight away comes after Lionel Messi starred in Argentinas win over Algeria with a hat-trick, while Frances Kylian Mbappe and Norways Erling Haaland have also hit the ground running in North America with two goals each.Linekers co-host and former England captain Alan Shearer said: Harry Kane has seen Messi, Mbappe and Haaland all come on straight away and get the goals.Addressing Lineker, Shearer added: Its only a matter of time before he breaks your record.Manchester United defender Harry Maguire, controversially overlooked for a squad place by England head coach Thomas Tuchel, was also full of praise for Kane.Maguire said: H is our best player, hes one of the best players in the world. You cant speak highly enough of him. On the pitch, hes unbelievable, but off the pitch, hes a massive leader.0 Comments 0 Shares 54 Views 0 Reviews

WWW.GBNEWS.COMRory McIlroy announces U-turn after branding US Open decision 'stupid'Rory McIlroy has revealed he performed a swift U-turn after initially branding a controversial United States Golf Association decision as "stupid" ahead of this week's US Open at Shinnecock Hills.The USGA confirmed earlier this week that officials intend to syringe the greens between the morning and afternoon waves on Thursday and Friday in a bid to maintain consistent playing conditions.The move has become a major talking point before the opening round, particularly with strong winds forecast to sweep across one of golf's toughest venues.McIlroy admitted his first reaction to the plan was far from positive.TRENDINGStoriesVideosYour Say"When I first heard of it my first reaction was, 'That's stupid, why are they doing that?'" the Northern Irishman said.However, after learning more about conditions at Shinnecock Hills, the reigning Masters champion quickly changed his mind."It's a unique golf course," McIlroy explained."The members at Shinnecock will tell you they do that every single day."Every single day at this course the members play, they put water on the course at 2 p.m."McIlroy stressed that his main concern was the perception that tournament organisers had lost control of the setup."For me it's more my concern was you don't want it to look as if you've lost the golf course and you're starting to put water on it, which I don't think is what they're going to do," he said.With gusty conditions expected during Thursday's opening round, McIlroy accepts the decision may actually help preserve fairness between players teeing off early and late in the day.LATEST SPORTS NEWS:Thomas Tuchel left furious after national anthem incident in England World Cup win over CroatiaCristiano Ronaldo was finished at the last World Cup and Portugal have bowed to him for too longThomas Tuchel spotted having heated row with England star during World Cup victory over Croatia"I think especially with the heaviness of the wind on Thursday it's probably prudent to do that," he said."Friday doesn't look as windy but I think just for again fairness and competitive integrity they do it on Friday too."McIlroy heads into the championship among the favourites after an impressive run at the US Open in recent years.Although he endured a miserable week at Shinnecock in 2018, missing the cut after opening with a 10-over-par 80, he has since established himself as one of the event's most consistent performers.The 2011 champion recorded six successive top-10 finishes before ending tied for 19th at Oakmont last year.McIlroy believes his growing patience has played a key role in improving his performances at the tournament."If you can get your ball to the middle of the greens here and just putt to the corners wherever the flags are going to be, that's never going to be a bad strategy," he said."It hasn't gotten me the trophy, but it's gotten me pretty close for a few years."But I definitely feel like I've become a lot better of a U.S. Open player by trying to really stay patient throughout the week and not taking on too much."McIlroy is now chasing a second US Open crown and a seventh major title overall, convinced Shinnecock remains the ultimate examination in golf when conditions are at their toughest."I think if everything is going the way everyone wants it in terms of weather, setup, I think it's the best championship test in the country," he said."I think it tests all aspects of the game: driving, iron play, you need to have your wits about you on the greens."Our Standards: The GB News Editorial Charter0 Comments 0 Shares 133 Views 0 Reviews
