The BBC presenter has issued his response.
Gary Lineker has responded to Harry Kane’s comments Gary Lineker has defended his comments about England after captain Harry Kane called on pundits to be more mindful of their criticism of the national team at Euro 2024. Gareth Southgate’s side came under fire from fans and pundits alike after their uninspiring 1-1 draw with Denmark last Thursday.
‘I actually thought he answered it fine with one or two bits in there, but it’s not easy when you’re thrown that kind of thing,’ Lineker began. ‘Could you imagine if we went on and said we played well? We’d be lying because they didn’t play well and Harry knows that. ‘The last thing we want to be is downbeat and critical. We want the England team to perform well on the pitch – the best punditry of all is when England play well and we are excited and enthusiastic about them.
