What to know

  • Kane calls the World Cup semi-final loss to Argentina his most painful tournament exit—worse than missing a penalty in Qatar 2022—because England abandoned their playing style.
  • After falling behind early, England failed to maintain their identity and intensity, which Kane says exacerbated the pain of the 2-1 defeat.
  • Kane and the squad must identify tactical and mental changes needed to perform against elite teams in high-pressure knockout stages.
  • England faces Spain in Nations League on Saturday as they attempt to move forward from the disappointment.

“Each one hurts in a different way and this one hurt, for sure, more than any other one. I'd say even more than when I missed the penalty in Qatar because of just the manner that it happened.”

    Kane says England must improve in high-stakes knockout moments

    Kane acknowledges that England repeatedly falls short against top teams in tournament knockout stages and calls for the squad to identify what needs to change tactically and mentally to perform at their best when it matters most.

    “How can we be better in those moments? How can we be ourselves more in those moments? It may be a mixture of things. It may be personalities, mentality.”
