Southgate Faces Decision on Kane for Semi-Final

England manager Gareth Southgate faces a significant decision ahead of the Euro 2024 semi-final against the Netherlands, reminiscent of the 1966 World Cup when Sir Alf Ramsey opted to bench star striker Jimmy Greaves for Geoff Hurst. Southgate's dilemma revolves around Harry Kane, who, despite being England's top striker, has shown signs of diminished fitness. Kane reassured fans about his health after cramping up in the quarter-final against Switzerland, where he was substituted before the penalty shoot-out. Ivan Toney replaced Kane and successfully contributed to England's victory. Kane stated he is fit to start in the semi-finals, although concerns about his recent performance linger.
