Harry Kane enjoyed himself, in particular, in the embarrassingly one-sided 10-0 win over San Marino that secured England first place in Group I of the FIFA World Cup 2022 Qualifiers.

England바카라s captain scored four goals 바카라 all in the first half, with two of them being penalties 바카라 to move his international tally to 48, which is tied with Gary Lineker and only five off Wayne Rooney바카라s all-time record for the country.

Harry Kane finished 2021 with 16 goals for England, a national record for a calendar year, and it could have been more if he hadn바카라t been substituted just after an hour.

바카라If we left him on another half an hour, we would have had Wayne Rooney바카라s family on the phone,바카라 England coach Gareth Southgate said.

바카라He (Kane) is a phenomenal goal scorer.

바카라We wanted to give him the chance tonight and he took it well," Gareth Southgate added.

Harry Maguire, Emile Smith Rowe, Tyrone Mings, Tammy Abraham and Bukayo Saka also scored, along with an own-goal, as England showed no mercy against the world바카라s lowest-ranked team 바카라 a lineup filled with non-professionals who were using annual leave from their day jobs to play in the FIFA World Cup 2022 Qualifiers in Serravalle.

When England got to double figures after 79 minutes, there appeared to be a good chance the team could at least match their biggest ever win 바카라 13-0 over Ireland in 1882. That바카라s one of only three times England have scored 11 goals or more.

This was England's biggest victory since 1964 when it achieved 10-0 against the United States in New York.

바카라We cannot do anything about the level of opposition,바카라 Gareth Southgate said, 바카라but the mentality and the way they applied themselves was terrific.바카라

England finished on 26 points, six clear of second-placed Poland, which lost at home to Hungary 2-1 and might be unseeded for next year바카라s playoffs. That would mean Poland playing away in their one-leg semifinal in one of the three playoff brackets.
