I’m Still Haunted By My Penalty Miss At The 2022 World Cup – Kane

England striker Harry Kane has said that he wants to banish the memories of his 2022 World Cup heartaches. He recently revealed that he wants to deliver glory to England at the 2026 FIFA tournament.

According to him, after his late penalty miss in the quarterfinal defeat against France in Qatar, he is already looking forward to having the opportunity to right his wrongs for his nation.

Kane added that the penalty miss is something that has haunted him since it happened; therefore, he has to redeem himself.

His words, “I’d say that was probably the worst that I felt in any moment. Obviously I’ve lost finals before.

To have that responsibility, you almost feel like it fell on my shoulders and I guess not being able to execute something that I’ve been able to execute many a time in my career, I think that was the hardest part to process and take.

I don’t think about it too much now. After another major tournament, you get over it and get on with it. I scored a penalty in the semifinal of the Euros which was as high pressure as you are going to get.

In terms of that being my last memory [of a World Cup], yeah, I’m looking forward to the next World Cup to try and put that right, to try and go further. To try and lift the trophy as we all dream of doing.

And the opportunity is always there when that is coming around. I think those moments only shape you as a person, as a player and it’s definitely helped me to become a better player.”

WOW.
