Harry Kane has blasted his England team-mates and claimed 'everyone's dropping below their levels' following their 1-1 Euro 2024 draw with Denmark on Thursday.

The former Tottenham star wasn't good enough for the second game in a row.
And Kane has now fronted up, admitting that both himself and the rest of his team-mates haven't been able to play at their best.
"I think we're struggling both with and without the ball," he said when asked about the Three Lions making things difficult for themselves.
"I think the pressure in both games hasn't been right and with the ball hasn't been good enough.
"Everyone's dropping below their levels a little bit. It was tough out there, but we're calm.
