Unfortunately for England, football is not coming home. But Harry Kane will likely bring home the Golden Boot for the six goals he plundered in Russia.
That should be all good; but the problem is, Kane's status as the tournament's top scorer is undermined by the manner in which he scored his goals. At least, according to some fans on social media.
There were penalties, headers from set pieces - and even a freak goal which went in via a deflection from Kane’s heel.
Fans on Twitter having dragging Kane down for being “the most underwhelming golden boot winner.”
Harry Kane is the prime example of how to win ‘the Golden Boot’ in the World Cup in the most ugliest way possible!!

3 Penalties
1 Lucky heel touch
1 Header
And a tap in
Where was he in the quarter finals and Semi final and 3rd 4th place play offs? ??
Harry Kane has the most useless Golden Boot in World Cup history

Fun fact: England are the first team in this century to lose twice to a team in the same world cup tournament ? #WorldCup #BELENG

They got lucky v Colombia ?? & did not beat major teams throughout the #WorldCup. Sweden ?? has talent but not enough to be dubbed a major team. I like a few players but their fans are not cool. 4th place is the best they’ll see for WCs to come.?

England ??????? ✌?
Harry Kane is the most underwhelming golden boot winner (based on performance during the tournament) since Oleg Salenko fluked it in 1994.

Harry Kane winning the Golden Boot because of five goals scored against Tunisia and Panama + 1 penalty against Colombia would be one of the strangest results of this #WorldCup

Zero shots on target in open play during the knockout stage - 4 matches
So Gareth Southgate could get a knighthood beating Tunisia (last min goal), Panama, drawing with Colombia (missing their best player) and beating Sweden. Nice.
