Smalling stymies Kane for tweet of the week
The English Football Association has apologised over a mischievous tweet about Tottenham Hotspur’s Harry Kane during the weekend FA Cup semifinal against Manchester United. Kane failed to fire in Saturday’s 2-1 loss to United which was largely down to a fine performance by central defender Chris Smalling in keeping Kane quiet. That prompted a tweet on the official FA account: “What’s in your pocket, Chris” and a video of United defender Chris Smalling saying “Harry Kane”. The tweet was shared thousands of times before it was deleted. Kane is likely to start up front for England at the World Cup finals. He could end up captaining the national side at the finals in Russia.
