England and the penalty shootout – the drama continues!
The “Three Lions” fly in the quarterfinals of the World Cup 2-1 against France because Harry Kane missed a penalty to potentially make it 2-2. The Tottenham Hotspur striker scored one of England’s goals from the penalty spot, but he lost his nerve when it came to the decisive shot.
