England captain and striker Harry Kane addressed the controversial penalty decisions during the 2026 World Cup Round of 16 clash against Mexico. The match ended in a 3-2 victory for the Three Lions.
Kane opened the scoring from the penalty spot in the 60th minute, but shortly after, the referee awarded a penalty to the Mexican side, which they successfully converted.
I thought I got the ball first. It was one of those days where the referee's decisions were often not in our favour. Ultimately, it didn't matter, so yes, I'm happy. Harry Kane
Despite the contentious refereeing calls, England managed to hold onto their lead and secured a spot in the quarter-finals. They are set to face Norway in the next stage of the tournament.
