The Three Lions will take on Argentina in the semi-finals on Wednesday (15.07.26) after beating Norway 2-1 after extra time in the last eight at the weekend and the captain can understand why manager Thomas Tuchel was frustrated with the team's display in Miami.

Kane said: "When he sees us train and sees the closeness of us and sees what we can do, especially with the players we have, the way we attack, our one-on-ones and the skills, he just wants to see that version of us.

"He knows as much as anyone that it's not as simple as that, we're playing against good opposition and good teams.

"He's trying to drag it out of us and we know ourselves we have another level we can reach.

"We haven't seen that yet, we've shown it in glimpses. Against Norway it was in glimpses. But we haven't had full control that we would like and I feel we can have.

"We'll be playing against one of the best teams in the world in the semi-final, so the most pleasing thing is we are in a semi-final and still feel we can improve.

"But I don't think it is something to get really over the top about. We are showing a lot of good things."

England have reached the semi-finals of the World Cup for just the fourth time and Kane is desperate for the team to find the "missing piece" and win a first major trophy since 1966.

The Bayern Munich striker said: "It's been an extremely successful era of our national team. Of course, we want to get over the line. That is the missing piece now.

"We're knocking on the door. We're getting to these semi-finals and finals. It's a big week.

"We've been together six weeks and shown every bit of desire for the badge and we're going to need an even bigger push now for the last week or so.

"Ultimately we are in a semi-final of the World Cup and that has not always been the case for this national team, so we have to enjoy it."
