Harry Kane rubbishes chatter of rift between Jude Bellingham and Thomas Tuchel: ‘English thing to do’

England captain Harry Kane rejected claims of unrest within the national team ahead of the FIFA World Cup 2026 semi-final against Argentina.

Jude Bellingham scored both goals in England's 2-1 quarter-final win over Norway and appeared to push back against manager Thomas Tuchel's assessment that the team's performance fell short.

Kane said Bellingham responded five minutes after the final whistle before hearing fully what Tuchel said, dismissing the idea of a rift as an 'English thing to do' at major tournaments.

Kane emphasized the group's togetherness and criticized narratives of internal conflict, noting Tuchel's honest and direct style.
