World Cup 2022: England player ratings for 0-0 Group B draw with USA
England starting XI vs USA World Cup 2022
England were outplayed by the United States in World Cup Group B on Friday night but banked a point from a 0-0 draw. Here we rate the players selected by manager Gareth Southgate out of 10.
JORDAN PICKFORD: Beaten by a Christian Pulisic strike that cannoned off the crossbar but rarely worked beside that moment. 6 (out of 10).
KIERAN TRIPPIER: Scrappy and loose in possession, given Gareth Southgate's options at right-back, his place in the side could come under threat. 5.
JOHN STONES: Did not take enough chances to bring the ball out from the back but was largely solid defensively. 6.
HARRY MAGUIRE: A decent display to mark his 50th cap, the Manchester United skipper made some crucial clearances when the United States were on top. 7.
LUKE SHAW: Not as marauding as in the opening match but not found wanting at the back. 6.
DECLAN RICE: A shield in front of the back four and did his defensive duties well without really being able to charge forward enough. 6.
JUDE BELLINGHAM: Clearly highlighted as the dangerman by the US, who did a great job of stagnating his influence on proceedings. 5.
MASON MOUNT: Always trusted by Southgate but was poor in possession. Did test Matt Turner with England's only shot on target in the first half, though. 5.
BUKAYO SAKA: After his brace against Iran there were big expectations of the Arsenal forward but, like his team-mates, he failed to repeat those highs. 5.
RAHEEM STERLING: Nothing like the impact he had in the win over Iran despite a couple of flashes. 5.
HARRY KANE: Fit to captain the side but forced to drop so deep to be in the game his goal threat diminished as the clock ticked by. 5.
SUBSTITUTES:
JACK GREALISH (for Sterling, 68): A couple of bursts of excitement and energy but not enough to drag England to victory. 5.
JORDAN HENDERSON (for Bellingham, 68): An experienced head brought on by Southgate but not a very dynamic change. 5.
MARCUS RASHFORD (for Saka, 77): Scored just 25 seconds after coming on against Iran but no similar introduction here. 5.
