England player ratings (4-3-3)
GK: Jordan Pickford – 5/10 – Possibly defeated from a distance, but was blindsided by Tchouameni’s rocket.
RB: Kyle Walker – 5/10 – Mbappe defeated Walker in their much-anticipated footrace, which the English fullback did a commendable job of controlling.
CB: John Stones – 6/10 – Adrien Rabiot had a little window of opportunity to take advantage of a mistake in positioning in the second half, but Pickford saved his center-back.
CB: Harry Maguire – 6/10 – Maguire avoided having his slow turning circle revealed by eagerly punching the ball into the final third.
LB: Luke Shaw – 5/10 – When he got up the pitch, he only sometimes launched his forward thrusts but delivered them with incision and precision.
CM: Jordan Henderson – 4/10 – Did not provide the same level of stability in possession as in the past.
CM: Declan Rice – 7/10 – Played with the balls of his feet and was always prepared to advance and seize possession.
CM: Jude Bellingham – 7/10 – Grew competitive and charged between the two boxes with a contagious effort.
RW: Bukayo Saka – 8/10 – Continually tapping the ball out of the reach of the defender with half-touches that invited a challenge while whirling between the lines.
ST: Harry Kane – 6/10 – His performance will undoubtedly be defined by the missed penalty, but much of his previous hard effort will be obscured.
LW: Phil Foden – 4/10 – Forced to look around the city in search of a touch, which he found difficult to obtain.
Substitutes
Mason Mount (79′ for Henderson) – 6/10 – Added a forward thrust that was quickly penalized.
Raheem Sterling (79′ for Saka) – 5/10
Marcus Rashford (85′ for Foden) – N/A
Jack Grealish (98′ for Stones) – N/A
Manager
Gareth Southgate – 6/10 – The fact that England was generally the superior team will be quickly forgotten in the misery of more costly penalties.
