How Kane and Haaland compare - who would you pick?

The article compares England captain Harry Kane and Norway striker Erling Haaland ahead of a World Cup quarter-final clash. It notes that both players have been linked since Kane's proposed move to Manchester City fell through in 2021, with Haaland joining City the following year and winning a Treble. Kane later moved to Bayern Munich in 2023, winning two Bundesliga titles and the European Golden Shoe, and has six goals at the 2026 World Cup, while Haaland has seven. The comparison focuses heavily on goalscoring, with Kane having scored 85 goals for England since his debut in 2015, including match-winning performances against DR Congo and Mexico in this tournament. Haaland has scored in 14 straight games for Norway, totaling 62 goals in 51 appearances at a rate of one every 71 minutes. The article also notes that Kane may have the edge in all-round play, having provided an assist in this World Cup and often dropping deeper, while Haaland has 24 assists in three seasons for Manchester City.
