    'Kane curse': Will Harry Kane go trophyless until retirement
    Harry Kane is currently the leading footballers from England but it looks like luck is not on his side when it comes to winning championships for any team that he plays with. According to a Daily Star UK report, he has not touched a silverware yet, even after some of his commendable journeys with respective clubs, including the England's national football team.

    Even when Harry Kone scored three goals in the recently concluded Euro Cup 2024, and shared the Golden Boot with a few other top footballers, he still could not manage to lay his hands on the Euro Cup 2024 trophy, after England lost 2-1 against Spain. His penalty against Netherlands in the semifinals was one of the gamechangers that saw his team reach the finals. There are some serious concerns about his ability to win a trophy with a team, and now, Google's Gemini has also drawn some projections around this happening.

    According to Gemini, there are slim chances that Harry Kane will manage to win a trophy with England until he retires, as going by the track record, even though he has enormous match-winning capabilities, he still did not manage to win a title with Tottenham, or Bayern Munich, to name a few. According to Daily Star, Gemini has suggested that he may not win anything with England as well, until he retires but, just like the Golden Boot, he may get some individual accomplishments.

    This phenomenon is being deemed as the 'Kane Curse' by football analysts and it is not a very uncommon thing. There have been legendary sportsmen in the past, who have missed out on championship titles, but have still become big names in the world of football. It's not always about luck, as football is a team sport and the entire team needs to perform adequately throughout the tournament, in order to win a title. Kane in no way, can win a championship for a team singlehandedly for that matter.
