England are out of the FIFA World Cup in Qatar

Les Bleus were the more clinical side, as the Three Lions stumbled and were eventually tamed into defeat. An early goal from Aurelien Tchouameni set things in order for France, and while Harry Kane found the equalizer with his first penalty, it wouldn't cut it for the Englishmen.

It hurts. But we're family and we'll stick together ❤️ https://t.co/PNO8pvJMXh

Olivier Giroud found the back of the net with a quality header to put France through to the semi-final. Kane had the chance to equalize once more from the spot, but he missed. To the shock of the Three Lions' fans, the Tottenham Hotspur forward could not keep his effort down, instead smashing it over the bar and into the stands.

Heartbroken. We so desperately wanted this time to be our time, but it wasn’t meant to be.

Thank you for being there with us every step of the way. Your support back home and in Qatar has been incredible. ❤️ https://t.co/bpZILVDtAE

The game eventually ended 2-1, with the Frenchmen doing the honors of sending their neighbors across the English Channel home. However, England will be hoping that they can succeed in the next edition of the World Cup, which will take place in the USA.
