Striking out: Harry Kane bemoans lack of scoring chances for England at Euro 2016
England striker Harry Kane laid bare his team’s attacking problems on Friday when he said he has not had one clear scoring opportunity at Euro 2016.
The Tottenham Hotspur striker started England’s first two games in the tournament, against Russia and Wales, but was substituted at half-time against Wales and played only 14 minutes of the 0-0 draw with Slovakia.
Kane therefore faces a fight for a starting place in Monday’s last-16 game against Iceland in Nice, but he does not believe he has been given a chance to prove how clinical he can be in front of goal.
Asked if he had had a chance in the tournament to date, Kane replied: “Probably not a clear chance where I’d say: ‘I’m disappointed I missed that, I wish I’d scored that one.’
“But as a striker, you just have to be ready for when that chance comes. And I’ll definitely be ready.”
