England captain Harry Kane has expressed his eagerness to participate in another World Cup following his team's heartbreaking semi-final defeat against Argentina. The match concluded with a 2-1 loss for the Three Lions, who conceded two late goals, marking a familiar end to their World Cup journey.

Kane, who became England’s record World Cup goalscorer with six goals during the tournament, will be 36 at the next World Cup. Drawing inspiration from Lionel Messi, who continues to perform at a high level at 39, Kane stated he doesn’t want to impose limits on his career.

“It’s too early to talk about that. I mean, as a person, it’s always just about taking it year by year and how I feel,” Kane explained. “The national team is my pride and joy. It’s what I love to do most, more than anything.”

Kane acknowledged the significant time until the next tournament, noting, “Obviously, four years is a long way away. I’m 33 in the summer, but as you saw on the other end with Messi there, he’s still performing at the highest level.”

After the semi-final, England is set to face France in a much-criticized third-place play-off in Miami this Saturday, a game that will conclude their tournament on a somber note.

In just two and a half months, the squad will regroup to kick off their Nations League campaign against Spain, the World Cup finalists. Reflecting on the team's disappointment, Kane shared, “Everyone has to process what’s just happened. Everyone’s gutted. I’m gutted for all the boys, all the staff... when you’re so close... obviously the lads are devastated.”

He concluded by emphasizing the need to take this experience on the chin and strive for improvement.
