Gareth Southgate drops big Harry Kane reveal after England's Euro 2024 loss

England, on Sunday, yet again lost out on an international championship title, choking in their last game against Spain after a wonderful run throughout the tournament. A score line of 2-1 in favor of Spain simply dashed the hopes of England of winning a major global title, which they haven't won yet, since the last time in 1960s.

England loses out on Euro Cup, yet again

Even a massive victory parade had been organized by England's FA, that would have seen the England team atop an open-tour bus, which would finally stop at the Buckingham Palace, where they would have been honored by King Charles, in a royal reception. All of this grandeur seems to have gone away with the wind as England lost by a goal to Spain, who has also been sensational throughout their Euro Cup 2024 journey, even breaking a few international records, here and there.

England boss admits Harry Kane's performance in Euros below par

Meanwhile, Gareth Southgate made an interesting admission, claiming that Harry Kane had not performed according to expectations during his Euro Cup 2024 journey. According to a Yahoo Sports report, Southgate said that Kane was not fit enough throughout the tournament and he was even subbed in the finals of Euro Cup 2024 by Ollie Watkins. Interestingly, a similar thing had happened in the Euro Cup 2024 semis against Netherlands, even though Kane had scored in the 18th minute, after being awarded a controversial penalty.

Kane's fitness not up to the mark, says Southgate

According to Southgate, Kane has still not reached the level of fitness England had hoped for in the Euro Cup 2024. He also stated that the going for the England star has been tough throughout the championship. This was probably the reason why Watkins was called as a substitute during crucial moments of play, even when England were a goal down to Spain.
