England's World Cup campaign ended in disappointment as they went out despite a fine performance in the quarter-final against France at Al Bayt Stadium.
Harry Kane's late penalty miss proved decisive after he had earlier equalled Wayne Rooney's England record of 53 goals from the spot.
France took a 17th-minute lead when Aurelien Tchouameni's 25-yard drive beat Jordan Pickford low to his right.
England were the better team for long spells and created chances, deservedly pulling level nine minutes after the break when Kane beat Tottenham team-mate Hugo Lloris in convincing fashion with his penalty after Tchouameni fouled Bukayo Saka.
France regained the lead 12 minutes from time when Olivier Giroud headed in Antoine Griezmann's perfect cross but England had a swift chance to draw level when Theo Hernandez fouled substitute Mason Mount in the box.
Kane had the opportunity make history but uncharacteristically blazed his penalty wildly over the top and England's World Cup dream was over as France look forward to a semi-final against Morocco.

it really doesn't matter who wins the world cup, but am happy England got eliminated, let's hear what their big mouth media will say, buch of overrated players. even in the after life they will never win the world cup, God is punishing them for promoting evil, soon they will say they lost because they refused them from wearing rainbow armbands [Crylaugh][Crylaugh][Crylaugh][Crylaugh][Crylaugh][Crylaugh]
