England exited the 2022 Qatar World Cup at the quarter-final stage after losing 2-1 to world champions France. Olivier Giroud's second half header secured France's spot in the semi-finals after Harry Kane had cancelled out Aurelien Tchouameni's opener.
The England captain had a second opportunity to equalise from the penalty spot, but blazed his effort from 12 yards well over the target. Gareth Southgate's side were the better team but France ultimately took their chances and condemned England to another heart-breaking major tournament knockout exit.
While it may be the final World Cup for Jordan Henderson or Kyle Walker, there is an abundance of young English players who will likely be in their prime years by the time 2026 World Cup arrives.
