Harry Kane has dismissed any notion of division within the England squad, insisting there is complete togetherness ahead of the World Cup semifinal with Argentina. England secured a 2-1 extra‑time win over Norway in the extreme Miami heat, a match that set the tone for the final four.

After the win, Jude Bellingham—the Real Madrid star—hit back at manager Thomas Tuchel's post‑match assessment that they had not played well. Bellingham suggested the coach didn't know what it's like to play in such conditions, a comment that sparked debate.

Kane rubbished the idea of a rift, telling BBC Sport: 'When you are playing a game like that and to be asked a question five minutes after the final whistle, what do you want Jude to say?' He stressed that the group’s resilience stems from unity, not individual grievances, and praised Tuchel’s candid, positive approach.

He added that Tuchel’s straight‑talking is what makes him an elite coach, but the German has been encouraging. 'Players on the pitch know more than anyone when you are playing well or not,' Kane said, highlighting the collective mindset that has propelled England forward toward the 2026 World Cup final.
