Will Harry Kane continue his challenge for the English national soccer team.
British media Express reported on the 15th (Korean time) that `Kane left a hint about the future of the national team.'
The English national soccer team, led by head coach Gareth Southgate, lost 1-2 to Spain in the Euro 2024 final at Olympiastadion Berlin in Berlin, Germany on the 15th. England were dragged 0-1 by Neco Williams in the second minute of the second half. Cole Palmer's equalizer in the 28th minute of the second half balanced the game 1-1. However, in the 41st minute of the second half, Mikel Oyarsabal lost another point and lost. England reached the final stage for the second time in a row, but failed to lift the trophy.
England Captain' Kane started the game on the day. But he didn't score the goal he expected. He played 61 minutes and then retreated to the bench. In the silence of the main gun, England missed the trophy in front of their eyes. Kane couldn't break the sickening jinx.

Kane is the world's top striker. He scored 66 goals in England's uniform. He is the highest scorer in England's A-match. He was also a three-time top scorer in the English Premier League (EPL). At the 2018 World Cup in Russia, he also scored six goals to become the top scorer. However, it is hard to reach the championship. Since his professional debut in 2009, he has never reached the top. Tottenham (England) ranked second in the EPL in the 2016-2017 season, second in the European Champions League (UCL) in the 2018-2019 season, and second in the League Cup in the 2014-2015 and 2020-2021 seasons. He moved to Bayern Munich (Germany) ahead of the 2023-2024 season and sought to win. However, he did not win the Bayern Munich debut season either.
After the match, Kane told Britain's ITV that "It's hard to put into words how we all feel right now. It was a tough game. It's really hard to take a late loss. I missed my chance. Such a final is difficult to come up easily. We had to catch it when the opportunity came, but we didn't make it again. It's very painful, and the pain will last a long time."

The Express said 'Kane made us question his long-term future in England. Kane was heartbroken that he could not achieve what we had worked hard for through his personal social media (social network service). It was a tough contest. I'm really proud of the players and staff who made it to the finals. Ultimately, we fell short of our goal. You'll have to live with it. But we'll get ourselves together as always. 'Wear England's uniform and be ready to fight again,' he wrote.
In the words of Kane, he will remain with the national team until the next major tournament. He scored 36 goals in the 2023-2024 season. We've had a successful season' he added.
