England crashed out of the World Cup last night, after they lost to France 2-1 in the quarter finals.

The English team put in an strong performance against the French side with team captain Harry Kane scoring a spot-kick in the second half.

However it wasn't enough to beat the French side, when Olivier Giroud headed in a second goal, and England's Harry Kane missed a chance to level with a penalty.

Speaking after the match, England captain Harry Kane said: "Standing here now, we are gutted it has come to an end as we had full belief we could go all the way."

"We can be proud of what we've done." he said.

France will now take on Morocco in the semi-finals on Wednesday 14 December.

England put in a steller performance against France in their quarter final match at the Al Bayt Stadium.

The first goal came from France's Aurelien Tchouameni, who hammered home a long-range goal in the 17th minute.

But England weren't going to let them take the lead, and Captain Harry Kane helped England to draw level a few minutes later with a penalty.

The goal meant Kane equalled Wayne Rooney's England record of 53 goals from the spot.

However in the second half Olivier Giroud headed in a second goal for France, and England's Harry Kane missed his chance to equalise with a second penalty after French player Theo Hernandez was given a yellow card.

Speaking after the match Harry said: "as the captain and the one who missed the penalty, I take responsibility for that."

"It's tough to take for me personally and the team.", "I couldn't be prouder of the boys." he said.

Speaking about Kane, England manager Gareth Southgate added: "We win and lose as a team. He's been incredible for us and reliable in those situations; we wouldn't be here now if it wasn't for him."

"Of course tonight we have come up short. We felt we could win the tournament and tonight is very difficult."" We wish France well, they are a fantastic team." he said

France's manager Didier Deschamps said: "England have a very, very good team. We put up a good fight. I regret we gave them a penalty and then gave them another penalty."
