Harry Kane Reflects on ‘Empty Feeling’ After England’s World Cup Exit
England captain Harry Kane has shared his disappointment after the Three Lions’ 2-1 semi-final loss to Argentina at the 2026 FIFA World Cup. He admitted the defeat left him with an “empty feeling” after coming so close to a second final. Kane praised his teammates for their effort throughout the seven-week tournament and acknowledged the high expectations on the squad. “We’ve been knocking on the door for eight years now, but again are missing that final piece of the jigsaw,” he wrote on social media. He thanked every supporter who travelled to the tournament and millions more back home for believing in the team. Despite the heartbreak, Kane vowed England would learn from this setback and return stronger in pursuit of future glory. The Bayern Munich striker remains determined: “Going for glory doesn’t always mean you will get it. You have to fight, get knocked down, pick yourself up and go again.”
