Harry Kane has opened up on his costly penalty miss as England crashed out of the FIFA World Cup on Saturday evening.
The Three Lions failed to make it back-to-back appearances in the semi-finals after losing 2-1 to reigning champions France.
Kane got England's goal from the penalty spot early in the second half, but was unable to repeat the feat on 82 minutes when England were awarded a second penalty, which has blazed over the crossbar.

When asked if his first penalty affected his thinking for the second, Kane told ITV, "No. I'm always someone who prepares for getting one or two penalties in a game, I always have an idea of what I want to do.
"I can't fault my preparation or anything like that, it was just the execution on the night. The first pen was great, the second one I didn't quite hit it how I wanted to.
"I have to take it on the chin, it will hurt for sure, the whole game will hurt. As the captain, I'll take that, but I couldn't be prouder of the boys.
"It comes down to a small detail I'll take responsibility for. I'm not worried about the team and how it will impact them. We have some great talent."
Kane's first penalty took him level with Manchester United legend Wayne Rooney as England's joint all-time leading scorer with 53 goals.
