Irish pub goes viral after reacting to the missed penalty from Harry Kane

An Irish pub goes viral after reacting in a video to the missed penalty from Harry Kane at England lost to France in the World Cup.

England fans were left drowning their sorrows after the Three Lions lost their nail-biting quarter-final despite battling hard in the second half.

A heartbroken Harry Kane hit his second penalty of the night over the bar – and with it missed a golden late chance to draw his side level again.

Heartbroken fans in the ground were deflated after the defeat – but were still full with pride as Gareth Southgate’s men put in a brave second-half performance having gone 1-0 down.

Captain Kane equalised netted from the spot early in the half after Bukayo Saka was fouled to give millions of fans across the country boosted by hopes of a comeback.

Tottenham and France goalkeeper Hugo Lloris was kept busy as England created a string of chances, but France reclaimed the lead when Olivier Giroud headed home to crush English hearts.

However, just seven minutes from the end, Kane was given another opportunity from the spot after Mason Mount was bundled over.

Just like the first, we expected another equaliser from the Three Lions hero, but instead, Kane struck the spot kick high over the bar.

Southgate comforted his devastated captain after the final whistle, with France going through to face Morocco in Wednesday’s semi-final.

Fans in pubs across the country had been glued to their screens and went through quite the rollercoaster of emotions.

John Andrews, 39, who watched in Bristol, said: “We didn’t deserve to lose and should have had a penalty in the first half.

“I couldn’t believe some of the decisions the ref gave. I’m gutted.”

Gemma Wilson, 32, from Bristol, said: “I really thought Rashford’s free-kick was in.

“We deserved to get more out of the game. France were lucky. I’m so proud of the team.”

Andrew Walker, 26, who tuned into the game from Newcastle, said: “I’m proud of the team. I think the penalty that Harry Kane missed was just down to pressure.

“Losing to France is no disgrace, they are the World Champions at the end of the day.”

His friend Jae McDougall added: “I actually feel a lot less down about that defeat than when we got beat against Italy in the Euro final.

“This time we actually played well and gave a really good account of ourselves. We were the better side against France which says a lot.”

Prince William wrote: “Gareth, Harry and the whole England squad and staff, gutted for all of you. You put so much into this tournament and we are all so proud of you. Heads held high and on to the next one!

Piers Morgan tweeted: “You won’t meet a more decent honest footballer or person than Harry Kane – or a better leader of the England team. Absolutely heart-breaking for him.”
