France captain Hugo Lloris says it was not easy to find the words when he texted his Tottenham team-mate, Harry Kane after his side had knocked England out of the World Cup in Qatar.
Three Lions striker Kane missed a penalty against goalkeeper Lloris during France’s 2-1 win on Saturday.
They will reunite as team-mates on 26 December, when Spurs face Brentford in the Premier League.
Lloris’ France play Morocco in the World Cup semi-finals today as they continue their defence of the title they won four years ago in Russia.
Morocco have been the surprise package in Qatar, having beaten Belgium, Spain and Portugal en route to the last four.
