Harry Kane
has hinted that this summer's World Cup will not be his last major tournament for England. The Three Lions captain says that they will go again after picking themselves up from their 2-1 semi-final defeat to Argentina.
Kane, 32, won his 121st cap in Atlanta, more than any other outfield player in the team's history, but it does not sound like he is done yet. The striker is just four more appearances away from equalling Peter Shilton's record.
One of those could come in the 'bronze final' against France. Before that match, Kane has posted on social media.
It reads: "No words are big enough right now to overcome this empty feeling in the stomach. We were close, really close to another final, but it wasn't enough.
"We've given everything over these last seven weeks, and to fall short is hard to take! I know the expectations are high and rightly so, we've been knocking on the door for eight years now, but again are missing that final piece of the jigsaw!
"That's where we have to go away, process it, and find a way to get better. I'm so proud of the boys and what we have shown throughout this tournament - some tough games and tough environments that we have overcome.
"Some memories that will stay with us players and I'm sure you fans for a long, long time! Going for glory doesn't always mean you will get it.
"You have to fight for it, get knocked down, pick yourself up and go again, and that's what we will do; there's no other way but to keep believing and keeping pushing. Thank you to every single fan that travelled and showed their support in the stadiums.
"Thank you to every fan back home for believing in us. Thank you to the boys and staff for everything you have given. As always, win or lose, we learn and go again!"
