(Reuters) - Harry Kane said his World Cup penalty miss that condemned England to a quarter-final exit will stay with him for the rest of his life but vowed it will not affect him personally or professionally and has made him hungrier than ever for success.
In England's 2-1 defeat to France last month, captain Kane scored their first goal from the spot but blazed his effort over the bar when presented with a second chance to pull them level six minutes before the final whistle.
"After it happened, I just wanted to play again as quick as possible and get it out of my head. It's something you have to deal with .... It was a tough moment for me. It's never an easy thing to go through, but it's part of the highs and lows of our sport." "I had a bit of time away after, just to reflect, and it's made me even more hungry to come back and be successful. So nights like last night are always good for me and the team, and it was much needed after the last couple of results," Kane added.
"I'm really happy ," Kane said."I feel like there's some unfinished business there and he's a fantastic coach.
