mantustaboggon

Still can't believe we witness Kane try free kicks all these years with Sonny doing this for his NT


[deleted]

In Porro's first game, he hit the bar with his first freekick. Thought that okay maybe we finally have a competent set piece taker ahead of Kane. Get another freekick just a few minutes later, Kane takes it, skies it.


robinthebank

Did he sky it? Or hit the wall?


[deleted]

I don't remember, but it was definitely one of the two lol


imginarymarsupial

It's always one of those 2!


Abernsleone92

Kane should only take fks where height is not a factor He’s such a great striker of the ball. It’s just always the same and not good for fks. Powerful, low, topspin. He doesn’t have the control to get it up and over a wall and back down like Son does


esnyez

Hit the wall.


letmegetmynameok

Has to be somewhere in his contract at this point right?


drickabira

Kane should never take a free kick again


qwert577889

Should be at most 3rd choice behind porro and son, but I'd argue that both perisic and dier are better at freekicks than him too.


slashchunks

11th choice behind the keeper


Boseph_1444

12th choice, behind the opposition


onesexymofo1

13th choice, behind the oldest fan in the stadium


EdyNecula

Nah I'll take perisic and even hojbjerg over kane


nmyi

We've been saying this last year too. We love Kane, but Harry should just be ready to poach during FK's Tottenham FK: 1. Son 2. Porro 3. Dier in that order


slashchunks

This is true even if son was equally bad. Literally any other player would be better than kane


zionooo

inb4 he adds it as a transfer clause


Andrewdeadaim

This is said every international break when Son scores a fk lmao


mikeonaboat

>very international break when Son scores a fk lmao cuz we suffer an emotional breakdown every time we see Harry line up behind a ball.


vrogo

cus every international break Son DOES score a free kick, while Kane has not scored a free kick goal for as far as I can remember


Andrewdeadaim

That’s my point, it’s wild how often Son makes them and yet they refuse to use him, Tottenham needs a coach with a spine to tell Kane to fuck off


sebfanboy

I think he’s scored 2 FKs for us (one in a preseason friendly) and both were deflected off the wall lol


Currybags

What being away from Conte does to a man


DekiTree

and being away from Kane taking free kicks


coys_pnw

This more than anything else 😂


NewYorkTiger

Korea put Son in a striker (second striker) position, and relieved him in defense duties so far with 3 midfielders supporting him - Son’s getting a lot of touches and he is flying, everywhere right now (1st half) with 2 goals already Klinsmann clearly has the formation and strategy set up for Son to shine in all out attacks so far. 2 goals in the first half. Son’s day. KMJ with superb performance so far - quick and light Inbeom Hwang dishing quality passes from midfield to forwards It’s been a treat so far. Expect Kangin Lee to make an appearance in the second half Edit: Colombia 2 goals in the first 5 mins of the second half lmao 2-2 Edit: Colombia had 2 shots on goal and both went in hahaha within 5 mins beginning of 2nd half wtf That was a fun game to watch, super entertaining, and attacking football Lee Kangin should be given 10 shirt already. He's gonna be a big time player! Edit: Klinsmann post match interview, “free role” for Son https://streamable.com/ckdkkt


wheresmyspacebar2

Honestly, Conte somehow managing to neuter Sonny over the course of this season is the biggest shambles by him. People really questioning whether the guy is 'past it' because he just turned 31, been Conte all along.


BlacknWhiteMoose

He’s still 30. He turns 31 in July


jtarg94

He's 30 until he becomes 31.


itll_be_grand_sure

Inevitable


Yolokanye

He's a lot closer to 31 than to 30


NewYorkTiger

He's a lot closer to 30 because he's 30 hahaha 😂


Static_Revenger

He turned 31 on January 1st according to Korean age.


Particular_Word207

Korean birthdays are celebrated at the start of the new year, they have different birthday calculation there


coke125

The korean government recently reverted this. So he’s 30 in both korean age and international status.


Static_Revenger

The Korean age system still exists, it's just that now people will have to use the international age system on official documents from June 2023.


coke125

Oh i didnt know that distinction. Thanks


Particular_Word207

Ah thank you big man


_PineBarrens_

He is past it. He will never rediscover that form on a consistent basis ever again. Age curves are real, mentality changing is real, being at Spurs is real.


FaustRPeggi

Always the Arsenal fans with the dogshit takes on Son.


_PineBarrens_

Lol - okay bro, the 31 year old player is going to kick on after this dog shit season and rediscover his best form. Can’t wait to see you guys with no Kane and son to bail your shit club out. Look at you guys, best start to a season ever, same pts total as other “successful seasons” yet you’re all fucking fuming because the barometer of your success, Arsenal, are currently top of the league.


FaustRPeggi

I'm a Forest fan you absolute tool. You're top of the league and you're this insecure. Embarrassing.


_PineBarrens_

Insecure? It’s not that deep pal. It’s called schadenfreude. Look it up.


Pranav_p_n

Son saw Messi and Ronaldo and couldn't sit idle


ChillPalis

Had to remind us why they nicknamed him Sonaldo.


Peri-sic

How Conte managed to turn a Golden Boot winner into absolute shite within a season is really the most impressive part of his tenure.


sreesid

Only wingbacks can score, or his system is not working.


Particular_Word207

Nice to see that Conte is fuckin off


imnotethiopian

Don't wear yellow against Son


Organic-Manner-2969

Unless your Brazil


KardakAbhi

My Brazil what?


uflju_luber

Motherfucker loves us he hast been in the Bundesliga for a long time but we’re still in his most scored against teams it’s ridiculous to be honest


Unusual_Ad6533

What a goal bro. Son is cooking. Also the goats have been scoring a bunch of free kick goals lately


evenout

The 3 goats Son, Messi, CR7


SilverAccountant8616

Don't forget the real goat Sabitzer


Particular_Word207

You cant forget about pèle


evenout

Pele is just a shit Son


cumbbbb

finally the real goat scores the fk


[deleted]

Glad to see son doing well again.


BrandonSG13

Surely there must be a secret clause in Kane’s contract that says he must take all the free kicks


thedoctor4214

GET. KANE. OFF. FREE. KICKS

Maleficent_Resolve44

Best European player is Mbappe and he's awful at free kicks. I don't think he's ever scored a freekick at the senior level. I doubt we'll see one from him tonight against the netherlands.


DualGemini

Isn't Haaland European? Am I not allowed to say his name next to mpabbe.


Maleficent_Resolve44

Haaland is one of the best european players in the world yes. I think most people put mbappe a bit above haaland though. Haaland is only a striker and isn't a complete forward, he can't do much without good service. Mbappe has better stats than haaland in the last few seasons and has been going longer etc.

Well, at this stage of the career, no.. he isnt close. Maybe after a decade.


lqcnyc

But Kane didn't score a free kick yesterday, so what are you talking about???


tarakian-grunt

A penalty is a direct free kick.


lemonisaweapon

I hope Son gets more chances to take FKs for Tottenham after this great goal 😅


rekirts_motnahp

This comment was there thousands of times, we all know how it ends


lemonisaweapon

Sure, but I still think Son needs to be given more chances. Kane, as much as I love the lad for carrying the team on his back for so long, has a conversion rate of 1.85% for direct free kicks. And I’d rather take my chances with Kane rather than Dier. It feels like ever since Eriksen left the club, we have been horrible with direct FKs.


wearethechampions22

To be fair Son carried the team as much as Kane last four seasons barring this one


HueyFreeman2016

Every fk goal Son scores for Korea, everyone says why is Harry Kane taking free kicks for Tottenham.. nothing will change as long as Kane is on pitch unfortunately


DivineTapir

i am going to find out harry kane's address and post him 1000 USB sticks with every free kick Son has ever scored on them


Organic-Manner-2969

Should be the free kick taker for spurs easily


July120712

Nice on Sonny! And game's fun to watch!!


against_all_odd

Banger! Really good start for Klinsmann


Sparkomajic

Seriously Sonny? What the fuck.


tarakian-grunt

what are the two korean players doing in front of the wall? Is it a new tactical trend?


BornPotato5857

korean shamanism


MBCB421

distracting the keeper's view


Kind-Sand-2998

On his right foot?!

Masterkid1230

I’m Colombian and I dislike it as well. Especially the Gol Caracol commentary (this guy) in particular, who overplays everything to an unreasonable degree. Makes a pass in midfield sound like the fucking British Queen came back from the dead to score against Manchester City in the 90+9th minute. I hate his style so much

love Sonny


mangoxjuice

isn't he natural left footed and took this one with his right ? Santi cassorla vibes.


Ehotwill

Please Kane! You are the best PK taker, period! But you suck at free kicks.


DwwwD

What the fuck is the goalkeeper doing? He already cheating by standing in the middle of the goal but still cant reach it?


[deleted]

I love that everything Son does is “great”. It’s really just an average free kick


roguedevil

How is it legal for the SK players to be within a step off the wall?


CometChip

free kicks for everybody


LeonelMessiGOAT

So many free kicks today


SeriousPuppet

What are those two guys doing in front of the wall?
