Exactly. Most of England's opponents would be classified as minnows and the vast majority of national teams can be classified as weak. So it's only natural that a lot of the goals someone scores would be against inferior opposition.
Was only good in one international tournament as well the first Euros when he was 18 .
Now thinking back to how many bags of crisps I ate when Walkers did that temporary rebrand to 'Salt & Lineker'
ochfacepalm:
Here's some of Lienker's goals vs massive opponents below
Malaysia - 4
Albania - 1
New Zealand - 1
USA - 2 (they were dog shit in the 80s)

5 of his goals were against San Marino. They all count of course, but those are basically training matches.
Quick flashback to possibly the best prediction ever made on TFC
Fucking hell that's out of order. Shearer also played against a lot of weaker opposition. France played at home against Moldova last night, yep the mighty Moldova, and just about sneaked a 2-1 win and Mbappe didn't even score
No need for that dig
Hattrick against Turkey in the 80's when Turkey were dogshit too. England won 8-0.
I remember when Shearer's international record looked quite good, but actually 30 goals is pretty poor for a player that scored so many at club level.
30 vs C Ronaldo's 98 and counting

Bobby Charlton scored 5 of his 49 v Luxembourg (3 came in a 9-0 victory), 16 v the other home nations, hat-tricks in an 8-0 friendly v Mexico and an 8-1 friendly v USA, another one v USA in a 10-0 win
IMO - Whats probably happened is he was probably slaughtered on Twitter when he congratulated Rooney, all saying the same thing. He has decided to cut this off at the source and its come across salty. I listen to Lineker a fair bit and he loves Kane.
Shearer also claims to 'love' him but probably also secretly hoping he never breaks his PL record
99% of Strikers are selfish bastards and need to be to be successful - they want the limelight. I bet he doesn't want him to break it.
That doesn't mean he doesn't love him.
Worth noting Shearer practically always played in a front two and had nothing to do regards creating anything for others bar perhaps a knock down. Kane creates and scores on a regular basis, in my opinion Kane is the far superior footballer, but Shearer had much more physicality and perhaps faster. Shearer's bullishness was a massive part of his game.

Define love
Thinks he is a great player, wants him to do well. (they just love themselves more)
Not sure I agree with the wants him to do well part but each to their own
Funny post, but I could quite easily see Kane slipping into the no 10 role a bit later in his career.
