"'Even though there was nine goals scored, there was some amazing defending out there in the 1v1 battles,' Kane said. 'You've got the best players in the world. The best attackers, the best defenders. Of course, sometimes the attackers are going to come out on top and show their quality.'"
"'Listen, I love Harry Kane,' Rooney said. 'But there's no way he can be praising his defenders.' He added, 'I think the defending from both teams tonight was really bad, so I think he's being a bit modest there.'"
"'We were saying recently that we were seeing teams that weren't taking risks, players who weren't dribbling, teams that were playing not to lose instead of winning. Tonight, there was a lot of risk-taking.' Henry remarked."
