As a bit of a Spurs hero, it’s fair that Glenn Hoddle would have a soft spot for Harry Kane.
But his comments about Harry Kane’s (missed) penalty for England against Turkey on Sunday evening have got some people severely confused.
Hoddle complimented Kane on his penalty, despite the fact that the Spurs striker put the ball wide.
It had people *fairly* confused…
Hoddle. "It was a positive penalty from Kane"
No it was not, he missed the big thing with the net on it!— UltimateWestHam (@UltimateWestHam) May 22, 2016
Did Glenn Hoddle just compliment Harry Kane for shooting from a penalty?

To be fair, it was one of the best missed penalties we’ve ever seen from an England striker, and we’ve got a LOT of examples to choose from.
It wasn’t the only issue England fans took with Glenn Hoddle’s commentary.
Vardy struggled to get on the end of an incisive pass from Harry Kane towards the end of the match, and Hoddle criticised Vardy for not getting on the end of it.
Some fans pointed out that Kane held onto the ball for a good few seconds before releasing the pass.
Hoddle says fine ball by Kane but Vardy can't get to it – Deluded
