On the other side of it though, can Kane keep his first team spot through the next world cup? Not that I'm saying Kane will fall of a cliff once he goes over 30, but Balogun is only 21 and typically athletes enter their prime between 21 and 24. Just how confident is Balogun? Declaring for England would be a definite gamble on yourself type of move (setting aside that he grew up in England and probably identifies more as an Englishman)
Yeah, the reality is that he might just feel way more English and there's nothing we can do about that.
