Summary
Harry Kane said England were left with an "empty feeling" after Argentina overturned a 1-0 deficit to win the World Cup semi-final 2-1 and deny them a place in Sunday's final against Spain.
Anthony Gordon put England ahead, but Enzo Fernández equalized five minutes from time and Lautaro Martínez struck in stoppage time after Thomas Tuchel's defensive approach and substitutions backfired.
Kane said England had been "knocking on the door for eight years" and still lacked the "final piece of the jigsaw" needed to turn deep tournament runs into a trophy.
The 2018 Golden Boot winner, who turns 33 this month, said it was too early to discuss 2030 retirement plans and stressed he still has Saturday's third-place playoff against France ahead.
