The club World Cup continues to have its criticism, but Harry Kane loves life in the United States.
Bayern Munich Kane striker marked the opening and helped the winner at the end of Michael Olise while the Bundesliga champions supported their 10-0 victory against Auckland City with a 2-1 defeat of Boca Juniors last night to ensure their place in the last 16.
And while skeptics continue to point out hot time and bad participations as reasons to question the validity of the summer tournament, Kane has no qualms about one or the other problem.

Indeed, the captain of England says that the atmosphere generated by Boca fans at Hard Rock Stadium in Miami was among the most memorable in his long career.
Kane said, “I expected that they were noisy as they were, but it was an incredible atmosphere to be honest. One of the best [atmospheres] in my career.
“Merit but also fans of Bayern. They tried to help us as much as possible, but it was difficult with all the fans of Boca there. They made a special evening, they will not go home happy but it was an excellent game.”
Bayern and Boca were played in the evening, and even if it was still hot in the south of Florida, it was not the cooking temperatures in which some of the day games were played.
The former man of Tottenham Kane added: “I am not worried [about the heat]. I think it’s part of football. You must be able to adapt.
“It is a great experience for me and some of the other guys from England who will play next year in the World Cup. So you know, something special in these kinds of club World Cup matches and next year will be the same.
“When you get out of this field and you sweat and disgruate and crammed and have given everything in the field, there is a special type of feeling inside, especially when you win. This is what we have to do.”

It’s a great experience – Kane
From a football point of view, the tournament was interesting with the South American teams who take care of their European counterparts.
And Kane says he was intrigued by playing against teams with different styles.
“I think it’s great to discover different teams and I think you saw in this tournament already that the South American teams have notably caused major problems to some of the European teams,” he said.
“It shows how big football is in the world and how good some of these players are. You have to be ready for the next match, the next opportunity. I love this tournament so far and I hope we can be here for a while.”
