Jude Bellingham proves Rio Ferdinand right after Harry Kane World Cup penalty miss vs France

Jude Bellingham showed his maturity as a 19-year-old after Harry Kane blazed his late penalty over the bar against France. The Tottenham forward had the chance to equalise after Mason Mount was pushed in the box by Theo Hernandez, but missed the target.

Kane had already put England level earlier on in the half with another penalty when he stepped up and went face-to-face against his Spurs teammate and captain, Hugo Lloris. Having controlled the ball and the majority of the match, the loss was hard to take for the Three Lions, who were looking to set up a semi-final against underdogs Morocco.

The tournament may well be the last World Cup of Kane's career, as he will be 33 by the time USA, Mexico and Canada 2026 comes around, but the large part of this squad should in theory be coming to their peak at that time.
