Angelina KellyHOST
Six goals, the World Cup golden boot and the nation falling back in love with its football team.
Angelina KellyHOST
Through the euphoria of reaching the 2018 semi-final, scoring the winner at Euro 2020 to send England to their first major final since 1966, and even the crushing heartbreak of that missed penalty in Doha against France, Kane never hid.
Angelina KellyHOST
He shouldered the burden of an entire country.
Angelina KellyHOST
Yet back home, the question remained.
TomHOST
And I, you know, I've been listening to more kind of French radio, you know, like the equivalent of French, what is it called? RMC Sport or something like that.
TomHOST
And there was one guy suggesting that maybe Ludovic Ajorc should get a call-up for Les Bleus, which was sort of, you know, laughed off the panel a little bit by some, but just... tells you about the level that he's kind of been performing at.
TomHOST
I mean, one, just to needle you a bit, Bapo, because I know that you've been incredibly down on Ogier Sidnice in, what, the past couple of years, I suppose.
TomHOST
But I think they've got a real positive momentum, I have to say, that comes...

BappoHOST
You know, 11 goal contributions
TomHOST
in eight games.
TomHOST
He's been pretty ridiculous and surely quite close to a recall for Les Bleus.
TomHOST
Any other kind of standout performers that Deserve a call out.
Trevor GearHOST
So I don't think his head's in the right place at the moment, sad to say.
Femi MadariolaHOST
Yeah, I was quite surprised when they selected him for France squad in the World Cup.
Femi MadariolaHOST
Oh, Mateta.
Femi MadariolaHOST
All right, but anyway.
John StillHOST

Alex PiacheGUEST
One of the things which usually Spanish methodologies are very focused on in the way how to relate the players better and how to make the players understand the game.
Alex PiacheGUEST
Is it so that when Spain play against France in the World Cup, is it so that the French players were less technique or less talented than the Spanish players? No.
YasHOST
Definitely not.
Alex PiacheGUEST
I mean, actually, even the French players were faster, were technical, were everything, actually.
Alex PiacheGUEST
But what the Spanish players had different than the French that could allow them to manage all
YasHOST
situations
Alex PiacheGUEST
is the way how they understand the situation.
Matt MaltbyHOST
Like he's just, and I think he's a really good character in the, hopefully I can get commission for this.
Matt MaltbyHOST
Hopefully, he seems a bit, he's a really, well, I know he's a really good character in the dressing room and he had a great relationship with Glasner and, Obviously, he managed to get into the France team as well and was part of the World Cup squad.
Matt MaltbyHOST
So he's similar to a bit like Harry Kane, but obviously not as good.
Matt MaltbyHOST
But had to bide his time to kind of fully show that he had a really tough start at Palace.
Kazi AkberGUEST
cheated.
Kazi AkberGUEST
The French...
Kazi AkberGUEST
Attacking lineup was insane.
Kazi AkberGUEST
Dembele, Ballon d'Or winner.
Kevin HatchardGUEST
Look, first thing, let's cover off Mbappe first.
Kevin HatchardGUEST
So if you look at the criteria that France football set out, and that's the important thing, The most important thing was individual performances.
Kevin HatchardGUEST
So that then brings Mbappe into the equation because he was top scorer at the World Cup.
Kevin HatchardGUEST
He was top scorer in La Liga.
8 MINS LATER
Kevin HatchardGUEST
But equally, I would defend both Lamine and Kylian Mbappe because what they contribute to their teams is enormous.
Kevin HatchardGUEST
I mean, and you look at the longevity of Mbappe's contribution.
Kevin HatchardGUEST
I mean, that World Cup final in Qatar, they were dead, France.
Kevin HatchardGUEST
They were awful in that final.
Have HopeHOST
Mbappe has time based on, again, this trajectory of it being lifetime achievement based.
Have HopeHOST
He'll come up with a season somewhere where he'll win something with France and score the bag of goals, or he'll win something for Real Madrid, and he'll be fine.
Have HopeHOST
He just has to kind of dodge, as you say, the Spain of it all,
Daniel TilukHOST
because
Have HopeHOST
Yamal will start winning them.
Have HopeHOST
So he just has to find the right window.
Have HopeHOST
this could have been the right window he just didn't win anything with Real Madrid and then France what they lost in the semi-final to Spain yeah so do you think your guy will ever get one and and do you care if he gets one
Daniel TilukHOST
no
PYPANELIST
So I was listening to one of the creators a few years ago, I think around the 2022 World Cup, after the World Cup, and he asked a question on his social media page, like to his community, asking what is Hurricane's legacy? That was what he asked.
PYPANELIST
And he said he was asking that question because he believed that the second penalty that he missed against France in the 2022 World Cup quarter final that ended up kicking England out was a legacy defining moment for Hurricane.
PYPANELIST
And that has been Hurricane's career.
PYPANELIST
From being kicked out of the Arsenal Academy, to going to Tottenham, to bouncing from Leighton Orient to Millwall, playing his first minutes in the Premier League for Norwich City.
