 Totteham striker Harry Kane hasn't given up hope of catching Liverpool's Mohamed Salah in the race for the Premier League Golden Boot.
Kane is three goals behind Salah (31) on 28 as Sunday's matches see Tottenham take on Leicester and Liverpool face Brighton. The 24-year-old has won the Golden Boot in the past two campaigns and is hoping to push his rival all the way.
"The Golden Boot is still there, but who knows? Getting 30 goals is definitely the aim," he told reporters. "I always try to improve every year and it was 29 last year so to reach that 30-mark and to keep doing it on a consistent level is important.
"It is good that the pressure is off on Sunday so hopefully we can go and play free and score a few goals. We'll try to do the same as last year."
Kane also said he hopes he can take some form into the World Cup with England.
"It helps I'm scoring again. As a striker you just go through spells through the season," he said. "Sometimes everything you touch turns to gold and you are scoring goals, sometimes you have to wait on one or two chances.
"Against Newcastle on Wednesday, I had a couple of chances and took one of them well, which was nice.
"Hopefully I can get into a rhythm in the friendlies with England and take that into the world cup.

Wild 2-2 draw enough for Swiss to advance

Source:  https://www.cbssports.com/soccer/world-cup/news/switzerland-vs-costa-rica-final-score-recap-wild-2-2-draw-enough-for-swiss-to-advance/ For 90 minutes, Switzerland and Costa Rica exchanged scoring opportunities, frisky attacks, and countless missed chances at Nizhny Novgorod Stadium in an entertaining back-and-forth match that came down to an 88th minute go-ahead goal, an overturned penalty kick decision, and a stoppage time, game-tying penalty-kick goal that only counted because the ball deflected off the crossbar and Switzerland goalkeeper Yann Sommer's head before rolling into the net. Due to what unfolded at Spartak Stadium between Serbia and Brazil, what happened between Switzerland and Costa Rica didn't ended up mattering much. On Wednesday, Switzerland and Costa Rica battled to a thrilling 2-2 draw that involved two goals in the final minutes. The result was enough for Switzerland to gain entrance into the knockout stages of the World Cup. Even if Switze...

MAN UNITED WILL TRY AND SIGN NEYMAR. OF COURSE THEY WILL

Source:  https://www.football365.com/news/gossip-manchester-united-to-break-world-transfer-record Now you can’t say that the Sunday Mirror’s John Richardson is afraid of making some bold transfer claims. The first report from yer man made us spit out our Coco Pops. Richardson writes that Manchester United are lining up a £200m-plus move for Neymar this summer. That’s despite PSG saying that the Brazilian is going nowhere, and just about everyone thinking that if he does move it will be to Real Madrid. We’re also told that Manchester United would be happy to pay Neymar the £30m a year that he currently gets in Paris. Well, they’d have to. The evidence for the move is that United have a good relationship with Neymar’s father, who supports Manchester United. Wonderfully, Richardson ends his piece with the following line: ‘Any deal to take Neymar to the Bernabeu would cost in excess of the near £200million fee paid by PSG to lure him to the French capital last summer.’ ...

Lucky Japan qualify for knockout stages through Fifa's fair play rules despite losing 1-0 to Poland

Source:  https://www.telegraph.co.uk/world-cup/2018/06/28/japan-vs-poland-world-cup-2018-live-score-latest-updates/ Fair play sent Japan through to the next round Akira Nishino is a lucky man indeed. Unconvincing, barmy and lucky. Maybe the stifling heat in Volgograd had got to the Japan coach? How else to explain his thought process? Nishino rolled the dice not once, but twice here in a fog of muddled thinking and, in the end, was only spared total humiliation back home courtesy of the fair play rule. No one, least of all his players, could quite fathom his decision to make a raft of bewildering changes with everything still to play for against Poland. And no less bemusing was his insistence that Japan run down the clock for the final 10 minutes of the match amid a cacophony of boos inside the Volgograd Arena, despite the knowledge that a second Poland goal or a Senegal equaliser against Colombia would have sent his team crashing out. “It was a very tough de...
