England was left contemplating what may have been after France

After defeating England 2-1 in the World Cup semi-finals and sending their neighbours home, the French cockerel crowed long and hard into the night on Saturday, it was ironic that the reigning champions resisted Englands assaults and left the pitch dizzy, and not even a single one in the cavernous Al Bayt Stadium would have guessed that.The moment England lost a game, we lost a few goals as a group, and we kept track Harry has been a gift to us and has been so comforting in these kinds of situations.We wouldnt be here without him, but for the number of goals he scored for us.In this first-ever World Cup knockout match between two nations with such a long history of rivalry, such drama was almost inevitable.High DramaBefore the match began, the scene for high drama was drawn.Following a display of pre-match fireworks, smoke had hung in the air.If this sporting match was, according to English essayist, novelist, and journalist George Orwell, war minus the shooting, both groups of players were more than prepared and went about fighting each other with little reticence, and, perhaps more importantly, the French took the lead while England was reacted to a penalty not given on Bukayo Saka.Antoine Griezmann rolled a perfectly weighted ball to Aurelien Tchouameni as the English were waving arms and remonstrating.

A millimetre either way and a Tchouamenis shot would have struck Jude Bellingham, instead of flying perfectly through the space between his stretched legs, but England were eventually punished for kicking Saka down the right wing, with Kane slamming a cross straight into England's Olivier Girouds for the tournament's fourth goal.However, with the whole stadium braced for the game to be all-square, Kane missed from the spot not by millimetres this time, but by a lot, much more.
