Welcome back to The High Ground—your football newsletter for when the data meets the drama. Today, we’re talking about a man who’s done just about everything except win the one thing that defines the greats.
Harry Kane left home, broke every record in sight, and found joy in Bavaria. Now, he’s not just England’s best striker — he’s in the middle of a season that could redefine his entire legacy.
Let’s break it down.

Living His Best Life in Bavaria

When Harry Kane left Tottenham, it wasn’t just a transfer — it was an escape. A man too good for his surroundings finally found a stage big enough for his ambition.
And he’s thriving.
18 goals in 10 games. A Bundesliga title already within reach. A scoring rate that’s starting to sound fictional. Kane’s broken every record that matters:
Fastest to 100 goals in Bayern history (104 games).
First player ever to score 11 goals in the opening six Bundesliga matches.
Eighteen consecutive penalties scored.
He’s outpacing Haaland. He’s outpacing Ronaldo. He’s outpacing history.
The Best Striker of His Generation
Thomas Tuchel said it quietly. Vincent Kompany says it every week. The numbers scream it.
But this version of Kane isn’t just the finisher. He’s the worker. The one pressing from the front, dropping deep, creating, leading.
“Watch his work off the ball,” Kompany said. “Watch him press, recover, inspire.”
At 32, most strikers slow down. Kane’s adding miles. He’s running 11 kilometers a game, obsessing over defensive clips, talking about “clean eating” and “extra gym sessions.”
Winning his first trophy didn’t calm him. It lit a fire.
“When I lifted silverware, I thought I might relax,” Kane said this week. “Instead, I wanted more. I started training harder. Watching more. Doing more.”

Buying Cannabis Online Is Now Legal, And Incredibly Convenient
For years, buying cannabis meant taking a trip to a dispensary, dealing with long lines, limited selection, and inconsistent pricing. But thanks to changing laws and innovative online retailers, buying high-quality THC products is now 100% federally legal—and more convenient than ever.
And when it comes to quality and reliability, Mood is leading the way…
Because they’ve completely flipped the script on cannabis shopping. Instead of memorizing hundreds of confusing strain names – like “Gorilla Glue” and "Purple Monkey Breath" – you simply choose how you want to feel: Creative, Social, Focused, Relaxed, Happy, Aroused, and more.
Each gummy is formulated with the perfect blend of Delta-9 THC and botanicals to deliver the perfect mood.
Want a great night’s sleep? Try the Sleepytime gummies. Need laser focus Mind Magic gummies have you covered. Hotter sex? Try the Sexual Euphoria gummies.
It's cannabis shopping that actually makes sense for “normal” people.

Ballon d’Or Ambitions
Harry Kane has never finished higher than 10th in the Ballon d’Or. That might soon change.
He knows what it takes:
“You have to win the Champions League or the World Cup. It’s almost the perfect season.”
That’s the level he’s aiming for now — not just to be the best English player, but the best player. At Spurs, he scored for admiration. At Bayern, he’s scoring for immortality.

For England — and for History
He’s already England’s top scorer. Seventy-four goals. One hundred and nine caps. Two Euro finals. A World Cup semifinal.
Rooney had the spark. Charlton had the legacy. Kane has the consistency — and he’s one trophy away from overtaking them both.
The 2026 World Cup is the missing chapter.
If Kane lifts that trophy in the U.S., the debate ends for good. No more “what ifs,” no more caveats. Just England’s greatest. Full stop.
High Ground takeaway: Harry Kane’s career used to be a tragedy — a legend without silverware. Now, it’s something else entirely: an English masterclass in longevity, focus, and reinvention.
He’s the complete forward, the relentless professional, and the calm heartbeat of two giants — Bayern and England.
If he wins next summer, we won’t be arguing about England’s GOAT anymore. We’ll be watching him lift the trophy that makes it official.
