The Prince of Wales has reacted to England’s World Cup semi-final defeat by Argentina, writing that he is “gutted” about the 2-1 loss to Argentina.<\/b><\/p>\n
His statement shared by Kensington Palace read: “The fight and belief you have shown has inspired us all. The most complete England team in a tournament. <\/p>\n
“Hold your heads high,” he said, signing off as “W” which indicates it came directly from Prince William, patron of the Football Association.<\/p>\n
Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer also said he was “gutted” about England’s defeat, but added: “The passion and energy they’ve shown representing the badge has made us all proud.”<\/p>\n
Argentina scored two late goals to secure their spot in the final against Spain in Atlanta, after England’s Anthony Gordon netted a 55th-minute goal following a scoreless first half.<\/p>\n
The Prince of Wales has expressed a strong passion for football, often seen cheering on Aston Villa FC. <\/p>\n
“Thank you to everyone on and off the pitch, for an incredible tournament,” his statement said.<\/p>\n
Sir Keir’s final address to the House of Commons as prime minister on Wednesday had also featured multiple references to the English side’s nervous build-up to the knock-out match.<\/p>\n
“Tonight wasn’t the result we all hoped for,” Sir Keir said in a statement after the full-time whistle was blown. “But this England team has given it their all.”<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
