Harry Kane says England's World Cup semi-final defeat to Argentina hurt more than any other because the team abandoned its identity.
Harry Kane says England's World Cup semi-final defeat against Argentina is the hardest tournament exit of his career, saying the team lost sight of itself in the 2-1 loss.
England went ahead in the 55th minute but barely saw the ball afterward as Argentina fought back to win. "It felt like it wasn't us as a team," Kane said.
The captain added that when a team goes against its beliefs and loses, it feels far worse than a defeat suffered while sticking to its principles. He admitted he has not yet got over the game and that he and his teammates must work through it.
England now turn their attention to Saturday's Nations League fixture against Spain at Wembley, where Kane is looking for a response.
