Harry Kane has broken his silence following England's World Cup semi-final defeat to Argentina, describing the feeling as 'empty' but vowing to 'go again'. The Three Lions captain took to social media to address the 2-1 loss, which saw Argentina come from behind to win with late goals from Enzo Fernandez and Lautaro Martinez.
Kane's Emotional Statement
In a statement released via his social media channels, Kane wrote: 'No words are big enough right now to overcome this empty feeling in the stomach. We were close, really close to another final but it wasn't enough.' The 32-year-old striker acknowledged the high expectations on the team, noting that they have been 'knocking on the door for 8 years now but again are missing that final piece of the jigsaw.'
Looking Ahead
Kane expressed pride in his teammates and staff, saying: 'I'm so proud of the boys and what we have shown throughout this tournament - some tough games and tough environments that we have overcome.' He hinted at a possible return for Euro 2028, writing: 'Win or lose, we learn and go again.' The captain also thanked the fans for their support, both in stadiums and back home.
England's Campaign
England's World Cup run included victories over Croatia, DR Congo, and Mexico, providing memorable moments for the nation. Despite the semi-final heartbreak, Kane emphasized the need to persevere: 'Going for glory doesn't always mean you will get it. You have to fight for it, get knocked down, pick yourself up and go again.'
Next Match
England will now face France in the third-place match on Saturday, looking to end their tournament on a positive note. Kane's future as captain remains uncertain, but his statement suggests he is determined to continue leading the team.
