Harry Kane points the blame for England collapse

ByKehinde-Hassan Afolabi

Harry Kane says England failed to build on their lead against Argentina, admitting the Three Lions sat back after going ahead and paid the price in a 2-1 World Cup semi-final defeat.

England led through Anthony Gordon after the break but retreated instead of pushing for a second goal, allowing Argentina to hit back through Enzo Fernandez and Lautaro Martinez’s late winner.

Kane called it “gutting” after such a promising run, insisting Thomas Tuchel’s message had been to keep attacking, but the team couldn’t recapture momentum once Argentina struck twice.

England now face France, beaten 2-0 by Spain, who booked their place in Sunday’s final (FIFA) , in Saturday’s third-place play-off in Miami.
