The report says Anthony Gordon gave England the lead in the 55th minute, putting Thomas Tuchel’s team within reach of a first men’s World Cup final since 1966.
That advantage did not survive the closing stages. Enzo Fernández reportedly equalised with five minutes of normal time remaining before Lautaro Martínez headed Argentina’s winner in stoppage time.
The sequence underlines Argentina’s ability to turn pressure into decisive moments. England appeared to have controlled the most important phase of the match, but the late defensive collapse changed the entire contest within minutes.
For Harry Kane, the reported elimination ends a campaign that still produced a major individual achievement. The England captain finished with six goals and is now reportedly the country’s leading scorer at the World Cup.
At 32, Kane has indicated that he wants to play at another tournament. That ambition will depend on his form, fitness and England’s direction during the next international cycle, but his importance to the team remains clear.
The defeat also places greater pressure on the players around him. England will need more attacking solutions if Kane is to remain the focal point without carrying the full creative burden.
Away from the pitch, Kate Kane reportedly continued to support her husband after the defeat. She had followed England’s campaign from the stands and later shared a squad image with a brief message of encouragement.
Argentina now reportedly face Spain in the final on Sunday, July 19. For England, the next storyline will be whether Tuchel can turn this late disappointment into the foundation for a stronger next cycle.
