Not sure how anyone could argue against that, it's clearly intentional and dangerous. It's not even about making the game less physical, it's about stopping dangerous moves that are in no way intended to actually challenge for that ball.
Most strikers back in - the issue I think people have here is Kane isn't even pretending to try for the ball. As said, it's definitely not just him but he's an England player, in form and so scrutiny is high.
Rugby has written their rules on this well. Essentially if you're contesting a ball and can win it but unintentionally endanger an opponent, it's fine but if you aren't realistically going to challenge for the ball (i.e the example of Kane) it should be yellow or red. As you say, refs just need to enforce it and it'll stick very quickly.
I don't like it to be honest, but its easily sorted, do it once book him do it again send him off. The refs have the power but time and time again fail to use it.
All strikers back in. That’s not an issue. Nor is that what Kane’s doing. He’s playing the man in the air while pretending to back in. I’m all for a physical game but taking out a guy in the air isn’t ‘part of the game’. It’s part of Kane’s game. And some strong refereeing would soon ensure that it wasn’t.
Fair play, at least you aren’t trying to defend it, you’re right the refs needs to sort it to make him stop.
In rugby or NFL he’s get red or unsportsmanlike conduct/pass interference called and a penalty
Thisbis an echo chamber though, people need to tag FA, Prem and the ex footballers.
But he’s English

Remember seeing him doing this earlier in the season and finding it really annoying and dangerous.
The fact he's intentionally doing it multiple times is a bit scummy imo.

Same way all Tottenham fans worshipped Rooney, right?
Should be a red every time. Regardless of the color of the shirt.
Is this a new tactic from Kane or something he is doing to be more of a C as Mourinho has asked him to be?
Poor Harry trying to live up to Jose’s instructions to be more of a cnut
I've seen this quite regularly over the years from various players all across the pitch and Its clearly another form of dangerous play.
The more you bring in to attention, it should then be dealt with within the gaming authorities.

Maybe someone ought to aim a knee at his head?
Im not English but had he had been from Belfast i definitely would have done!
I just realized he actually got a penalty for one of these. That's all kinds of fecked up.
Pretty sure I've seen this move called as a foul before. Outside of the PL, that is.
This is what can happen. It's a big no in pretty much any other sport.
Jesus fecking christ that is brutal. You might want to spoiler that with a warning, the slow-mo is horrifying.
Is this a serious post?
It was at the time I wrote it because I was a bit annoyed at what I saw as an ongoing agenda against Kane and this is the latest thing to hit him with. On reflection it probably wasn't the greatest post I have ever made.
This is what I'm saying, he is sneakily looking to do other players in a very dangerous way. Eye for an eye wouldn't go astray here and he'd quickly cut it out.
Agenda? Its dangerous play, that he's going deliberately and he's going to hurt someone.
Then why United strikers don't do it? I don't mean it's a good or bad thing. I'm just curious why. Can't recall Martial, Rashford, Greenwood or Cavani doing such.
Genuinely nice to see not all the Spurs posters think everything is an agenda against them/their players. Player welfare should be top of everyone's list of priorities regardless of your allegiances. V simple to fix with consistent refereeing.
Can see why kane reacted?
I could understand if fernandinho left a bit more on him. Its dirty play
That`s the great thing about football. There`s always someone around who`s even better at the dark arts.
It's not a "battle" though. There's nothing physical about it.Mark Hughes and Alan Shearer were masters at this
All part of the centre forward trade imo... Glad this part of the game is still there. Love the battles between the CF and the CB
Christ people dont want football to be a physical game anymore. The game will be soon a foot version of basketball at this rate
It's Kane waiting until a player is completely vulnerable and then up-ending him. What's macho about that?
I can see now that it is dangerous play (now with a day or two to look at it and get off my high horse) however I don't agree that he is deliberately going out to hurt people - it's part of his game to use his physicality to his advantage but perhaps on reflection he does need to think a bit more about what could happen to the other player.
Come on. He's a pro. He knows exactly what would happen.
Its dangerous play. Kill him.
Burn him with FIRE.
I don’t think he’s deliberately trying to hurt people, he’s just trying to get cheap free kicks, but he’d have to be an idiot to not understand how dangerous it could be. As has been said before though, it’s up to referees to put a stop to it because he won’t do it himself when it’s working for him.
Is that true?
Hes deliberately doing it, but I'd agree his intention isn't to hurt people, but its a likely outcome if it isnt stopped.
He has to be aware of the risks though, yet he keeps doing it.
touchéHmmm, this is twice I've now been asked this. Concerning, sadly. Here are some high profile examples, unfortunately Liverpool and Utd connections feature:
