World Cup: I’m gutted – Harry Kane explains why England lost 2-1 to Argentina

England captain, Harry Kane, has explained why his team lost 2-1 against Argentina in the World Cup semi-final on Wednesday.

Kane, who admitted that he was gutted by the outcome of the match, said Thomas Tuchel’s side didn’t do enough after going 1-0 up in the 55th minute of the encounter.

“I’m gutted for the team, the staff, the fans. We played a good game for the majority of it. When we went 1-0 up, we seemed to just try to hold on, which at this level is not enough,” Kane said at his post-match interview.

“In the first half and the start of the second half, we pressed them well.  We put them under loads of pressure, high up the pitch.

“That allowed us to win balls and control the game. After the [England] goal, whether it was them putting more men forward or us just not being able to match them man for man, it was just wave after wave [of Argentina attacks]. Lads were putting blocks in, but in the end it wasn’t enough.”
