England striker: “It all came down to a small detail for which I take responsibility.”

England striker Harry Kane described himself as “devastated” after the Three Lions national team’s elimination from the World Cup and for missing the penalty of the possible 2-2 draw in the second half. “I am absolutely devastated,” he wrote on social media. We gave everything, and it all came down to a small detail for which I take responsibility. You can’t hide from it, it hurts and it will take time to get over it, but it’s part of sport.”

“Now it’s about using the experience to be mentally and physically stronger for the next challenge. Thank you for the support during the tournament – it means a lot.” Coach Southgate defended Kane to the hilt in post-match interviews, “We wouldn’t be here now if it wasn’t for Kane.”
