Harry Kane: 'Gutted' after England's World Cup exit to Argentina

England's World Cup dreams were shattered on Wednesday night as Argentina scored twice in the final minutes to snatch a 2-1 victory and book their place in the final against Spain. The defending champions, trailing since the first half, mounted a dramatic comeback in Atlanta, leaving the English squad and their supporters devastated.

Harry Kane, the England captain, expressed the team's heartbreak after the match. "Everyone's gutted," he said, describing the pain of being so close to victory only to see it slip away in the dying moments. The loss affects not only the players but also the coaching staff and everyone behind the scenes who had invested so much in the campaign.

The result matters because it ends England's bid for a first World Cup title since 1966. After Anthony Gordon gave England the lead, the team seemed poised for victory until Enzo Fernández equalized in the 85th minute. Then, two minutes into injury time, substitute Lautaro Martínez headed the winner, completing the turnaround.

Argentina, led by Lionel Messi, will now face Spain in Sunday's final. For England, the focus will shift to processing the defeat and rebuilding for future tournaments. Kane acknowledged the need for time to absorb what happened, saying, "There's not much to say. For now, everyone has to process what's just happened."
