It remains to be seen if any other English athlete follows the England national team at the Euros like pro boxer KSI. The Prime Hydration co-owner was upset over England’s narrow win against Serbia in their first group game. He even came up with a different forward lineup for Gareth Southgate to deploy in England’s future games. Now that England was stopped at a draw against Denmark in the second game, KSI has again given his two cents on the Three Lions. Interestingly, English captain and star striker Harry Kane remains a recurring motif in KSI’s critique of the England squad.

It was Kane’s early goal against Denmark that helped England avoid further embarrassment last night. Nonetheless, KSI believes Southgate should drop the English skipper from the squad to win a title. Earlier, after England’s first game, the 31-year-old boxer urged Southgate to use Jude Bellingham as a false nine, replacing Harry Kane in the English squad.

KSI wants Kane out of the Three Lions roster because the latter has failed to win any silverware for the country and club, despite boasting an otherwise impressive record. While the English skipper has historically faced flak, KSI’s mockery of the former has not gone well with soccer fans, a huge lot of whom think the English influencer’s comments on soccer were unasked for.

Fans side with Harry Kane to call out KSI

After the England-Denmark tie, KSI took to X and wrote, “England will never win a trophy if Kane continues to start. Don’t hate the guy, he just makes England terrible.” While Harry Kane’s trophy woes persist, fans think it was wrong of KSI to mock England’s only goal scorer in the tie against Denmark. Netizens on X rushed to KSI’s post with snaps of stats from last night’s game to prove that the English skipper stood his ground.

A fan urges KSI to stay within his sport and not comment on soccer.

Uh-oh, the ratings spectacularly prove the Prime co-owner wrong.

This fan thinks KSI’s love for Arsenal has forced him to draw daggers against Kane.

A user prompts KSI to address what they think is the elephant in the room.

The 31-year-old would not have expected this backlash before mocking the English skipper.

The backlash KSI has invited has shown that a huge chunk of English fans trust in their captain and his goal-scoring prowess. However, most of them point out that the England team lacks the grit to prevail in the Euros. If the Lions continue their southward run, it won’t be a surprise to again see jokes about Kane jinxing trophies. Kane can not be solely blamed for England’s misgivings. But since his abysmal trophy record is always in the air, the England skipper might be the subject of jokes again.
