France is looking to become the first country to successfully defend its World Cup title since Brazil — led by Pele — won back-to-back tournaments in 1958 and 1962.
AL KHOR, Qatar — France’s players reacted as if they had already won the World Cup. What they were actually celebrating, though, was Harry Kane's missed penalty.
“That’s football," England coach Gareth Southgate said."There is nobody I would rather have in that situation and if we had one tomorrow, I’d feel exactly the same way.”France will next face Morocco on Wednesday for a spot in the final. Kane sank to his knees after the final whistle. His earlier goal put him in a tie with Wayne Rooney as his country’s leading scorer, but that wasn't what mattered.
