World Cup 2018 is dominating the world sports stage and new stars are already emerging. While some favorites have struggled out of the gate (Germany, Brazil), England has taken care of business behind their superstar and Golden Boot candidate striker Harry Kane. In his first World Cup, the superstar is already doing things that Lion legends before him could not. Like 5 goals in 2 games. In the World Cup opener, Kane struck twice against Tunisia including a stoppage time game winner (2-1), then followed it up with a hat trick 3 goals against hapless Panama (6-1). The 24 year old from the Walthamstow borough of London, England by way of professional club Tottenham Hotspur may be the answer to England's 52 year World Cup drought. After a relatively meaningless game to wrap up pool play against Belgium this week (both teams are through to the knockout round), the competition will step up and we'll see if the young Brit can match. But for this week, Kane is the Longhorndave Sportsman of the Week!
