Is Harry Kane Cursed? An In-Depth Investigation
When I started this piece, I figured all the threads would lead back to a specific moment in April 2018: when Harry Kane claimed a somewhat dubious-looking goal by saying, “I sweat on my daughter’s life that I touched that ball”.
He was given the goal — but at what cost? This, to me, seemed to be the moment that Kane doomed himself to a trophy-less life. But as I dug into the mystery for my column today, I realized it goes back way further than that:
Over a two-season stretch, Tottenham won 10 more points than any other team in England. They had the best offense. They had the best defense. In pretty much every conceivable way, it's way harder to do that than it is to lead the league in points over just one season. They did it over 76 games. Somehow, they couldn't do it for one set of 38 games from August through May.
Is Harry Kane cursed? We can’t rule it out.
