Prince Harry has shared his view on why England fell short in a World Cup defeat to Argentina, saying the team did not have the mentality needed to make it all the way to a final. Speaking during an appearance on James Corden's Fox Sports show, the Duke of Sussex pointed to belief and mindset as key factors.
According to the discussion, Harry felt England were missing the conviction required to beat Argentina on the biggest stage. His assessment suggested that talent alone was not enough, and that the side lacked the mental edge top teams need in decisive knockout moments.
The conversation also featured former England defender Rio Ferdinand, adding a football perspective to the debate. Together, the segment focused on the psychological side of tournament football, with Harry arguing that England's approach may have held them back as much as anything that happened on the pitch.
The comments have added a fresh angle to the long-running analysis of England's World Cup setbacks. By emphasizing confidence and belief, Harry's take centers on the idea that success at that level depends not only on ability, but on whether a team truly expects to win.
