Kane: A draw isn't the end of the world for England

England captain Harry Kane insists a goalless draw with the United States is not the end of the world for them.

England

drew 0-0 against the

USA

at Al-Bayt Stadium in Group B on Friday. England has four points after two games and edged closer to qualifying for the

World Cup

knockout stages.

England's performance has been criticised by the media and Harry Kane admits that they were not at their best against the USA.

"It wasn't our best performance, for sure,"

Kane told ITV.

"We had some good spells with the ball and created some good positions, but we just didn't have the final product today.

"It's a great clean sheet, it puts us in a great position in the group."

Kane believes there is no easy game in the World Cup and a draw isn't the end of the world for them.

"It was a complete contrast with the game against Iran, where we took our chances really well,"

Kane said, before complimenting the Americans.

"Look, overall they're a tough team, and we'll move on. They pressed us really well and made it difficult for us. I thought at times we dealt with it well, they're a good side and we have to respect that.

"A draw isn't the end of the world for us. We know we can play better than that, but it's a draw in the World Cup, no game is easy in the World Cup."

England still has not managed to beat the United States at the World Cup in three matches. England will face Wales in their last group-stage game on Tuesday night.

"I think after our first performance, people thought we were just going to landslide every team we play, but it's not the case, we played a well-organised team with quality players,"

Kane said.

"The clean sheet is really pleasing. A point's not what we came here for, but it leaves us in a really good position."
