England’s 1-1: Belligham is a very serious matter…

Jordan Pickford

Vital

Without his mitt in the first half, the game could have been different. He had to get one out and he did it admirably with a real save when the game was tied.

two

Kyle Walker

shy

He didn’t add much to the attack, something he wanted to do at City. In defense he has no cracks.

3

John Stones

of course

It is important to the English ecosystem. In ball output and standard it is a plus and it is at a very high level defensively. Irreplaceable.

4

Harry Maguire

It’s huge

He confirmed that in this World Cup he is giving an improved version of himself. Less bundles in the first half getting the ball completed a good game.

5

Luke Shaw

Technical

His fine left foot was vital for England to build superiority. Qatar is also surprising.

6

Jordan Henderson

allfielder

What a great game from the Liverpool captain. He started by opening the net with a good arrival from the second row and was active in all areas of the field.

7

Declan Rice

Metronome

Set the game speed. Everything that goes through his boots is improved and he shows that he can also be ‘box to box’ when the situation calls for it.

8

Jude Bellingham

Extraordinary

No more adjectives for Bellingham. It does everything and most of all well. He stole, hit, split, assisted… He just couldn’t score. He gave away the first to Henderson and was key to Kane’s play.

9

Bukayo Saka

Electricity

The overflow was named after him in England. It is noticeable that he improved his understanding of the game and found himself in his goal, winning the game against the defender by attacking the space.

10

Harry Kane

prize

The World Cup owed him a goal and it finally came. In three quarters of the field he was the best striker in the World Cup but he also proved to be scary with that whiplash to make the first on his account. Enter the first goal with his space pass.

Eleven

Phil Foden

vindictive

He started the World Cup as a substitute and now it is hard to imagine him returning to the bench. He closed the game with two assists. His speed in confined spaces and his technique leave you speechless.

12

Jack Grealish

Creative

He came in wanting to do different things but in the game decided. He still needs to take that step to show he deserves more minutes.

13

Marcus Rashford

Annoyed

Because of Sterling’s absence, it was expected that he would be the starter because of his good group stage but that was not the case. It didn’t come out as fresh as other days.

14

Mason Mount

Controller

Manage the situation from the playmaker. He played well, even for a short time.

fifteen

Eric Dier

refill

He gave John Stones a break and he didn’t have much work.

16

calvin phillips

Get well

He added a few more minutes to show that he has put his injury behind him.
