England captain, Harry Kane, has suggested that his team lost 3-1 against Senegal in an international friendly on Tuesday because Thomas Tuchel’s side were not good enough against the visitors.

According to the Bayern Munich striker, with and without the ball things were not clicking for the Three Lions during the encounter at City Ground.

Kane gave England the lead in the seven minutes, but three goals from Ismaila Sarr, Habib Diarra, and Cheikh Sabaly gave the West African giants the victory.

The outcome of the encounter was England’s first-ever defeat against an African opponent.

“Not good enough. We had moments, but with and without the ball things aren’t clicking, we’re not finding the right tempo,” Kane said at his post-match interview.

“We have lost that aggressive nature that we had.”

Kane also said England must improve as soon as possible if they are to contend for the 2026 FIFA World Cup after their latest defeat.

Former Real Madrid player, Geremi Njitap has said that there is no chance of Inter Miami winning the FIFA Club World Cup even with Lionel Messi in the team.

According to the Cameroonian, the American side do not stand a chance, adding that there are better teams with great players at the tournament.

The Herons will play their first game against Egypt Premier League side, Al Ahly at the Hard Rock Stadium in Miami Gardens, on Saturday, June 14.

Inter Miami entered the competition being staged in the US after winning the MLS Supporters’ Shield in 2024.

Njitap noted that the Argentine superstar is no longer the Messi he used to be as he has no doubts passed his prime.

Messi will turn 38 later this month and Njitap told Boyle Sports Messi is no longer young.

He said via Goal, “Lionel Messi is no longer young…” he said, adding that the Argentine cannot boast of good players around him at Inter Miami as he had at Barcelona and PSG.

“He is going to come up against great clubs who have great players in the peak of their careers,” he pointed out.

“Does he have a chance of winning it? I don’t think so.”

Inter Miami are in Group A of the tournament along with Al Ahly, Palmeiras and Porto.

England head coach, Thomas Tuchel has suggested why his team lost 3-1 against Senegal in an international friendly on Tuesday night.

Tuchel watched as Senegal came from a goal down to beat the Three Lions at City Ground.

Harry Kane gave the hosts the lead in the seven minutes of the encounter.

But three goals from Ismaila Sarr, Habib Diarra, and Cheikh Sabaly gave the West African giants the victory against England.

However, Tuchel believes his side lost to the visitors because his team conceded very two easy goals.

According to him, England had big chances to equalize but failed to convert it.

“Yeah of course, it is a disappointing result,” Tuchel told TV Sport.

“We conceded the first two goals – very easy goals, we need to defend better.

“The reaction was good after we were down. We suddenly were more active, more free, more fluent, more aggressive. We had big chances to equalise.”
