Harry Kane says England can raise game when it ‘counts’ in the knockout stage

Harry Kane says England can be proud of topping their Euro 2024 group but insists there is “more to come” as Gareth Southgate’s stuttering side move on to the part of the tournament “where it all counts”.

England opened with a hard-fought 1-0 win over Serbia before draws against Denmark and Slovenia that ended with boos at the final whistle.There is a negative mood around the team, but the five-point haul proved enough for the Euro 2020 runners-up to progress to the round of 16 as Group C winners.“It’s not easy in these major tournaments, as you’ve seen with other nations, other big nations, in the tournament already not finishing top, so we can enjoy this for sure.

They will now not come up against another group winner until the semi-final stage, with one of the best four third-placed sides awaiting them in the round of 16.“I think every group that you’ve watched so far in this tournament, there’s some really good teams, really well-organised teams.“So whoever it is, obviously we’ll do what we always do, prepare well, debrief well.

England could well be facing the Netherlands this weekend in Gelsenkirchen, with Kane confident they will be able to go up a notch in the knockout rounds again.“I think if you look at previous tournaments for sure we started to play some of our best football in the knockout rounds,” he said.
