Finally some international recognition...

2016/17 English Premier League top scorer Harry Kane seems to improve every aspect of his game each season. His latest campaign saw him reach the century mark for Tottenham Hotspur and score at least 20 goals for the third consecutive season; something only Alan Shearer, Thierry Henry and Ruud van Nistelrooy can say they have done. Kane is the talisman for Mauricio Pochettino’s energetic and youthful Spurs side, and will be one of the leading figures for the club as it transitions to a brand new stadium next season. On the international front, Kane reached a new milestone when he captained England for the first time during a FIFA World Cup™ qualifier against Scotland, where he scored a last-minute equaliser in a 2-2 draw.

Nice and well earned acknowledgment. Strange to see it categorised as 'Men's'. 'Tis the age we live in.

There used to be awards in the olden days too. They were called medals.

Absolutely fucking SICK of this endless parade of FIFA awards bashes. Seems to be a new one every week. No doubt the ceremony will be held in that hotbed of football passion, Monaco, where Russia oligarchs and Saudi sheikhs can mingle with their next $100m signing.

No, no, no, no fucking NO.

Well recognition is recognition..

But I think he'll probably be more worried about his Fifa 18 rating not being as shit as recent years..
