England World Cup defeat could lead to 'major loss' for Dorset firm with 18,000 winner shirts

The boss of a wholesale company in Dorset who bought thousands of England World Cup winner shirts says he is facing a "major loss" after the side's defeat against France in the quarter finals.

The England team, which has now returned home from Qatar, crashed out of the tournament at the weekend after being beaten 2-1, with captain Harry Kane missing a penalty in the 84th minute. There are now just four teams left to play - France, Morocco, Croatia and Argentina - before the winner is announced.

Following the team's loss, Kane wrote on Twitter: "We've given it everything and it's come down to a small detail which I take responsibility for. There's no hiding from it, it hurts and it'll take some time to get over it but that's part of sport. Now it's about using the experience to be mentally and physically stronger for the next challenge. Thanks for all the support throughout the tournament - it means a lot."
