England

Jordan Pickford 6 —

As he has been all tournament, Pickford was solid. Should have possibly done better with Meunier’s goal but was not helped by his defence falling asleep. Saved well against a Meunier volley.

Phil Jones 6 —

Competitive but largely unsighted bar a shift as a winger in an effort to find Kane at the back post.

John Stones 6 —

Shaky at times in his clearances but was good in intercepting the ball.

Harry Maguire 7.5 —

The sheer physicality of Maguire was integral to England, preventing much of Belgium’s good play in the box. The Belgium attack came up against arguably England’s best player of the tournament, acting as a wall at times to prevent his side being breached. Additionally good in the air at both ends of the pitch.

Kieran Trippier 6.5 —

Again dangerous through the pinpoint accuracy of his crosses and free kicks, as well as being positionally aware in defence to stunt some of Belgium’s good work throughout.

Rueben Loftus-Cheek 7 —

Appeared the most likely to be more than a nuisance against a solid Belgian defence before England began to come in to the match. Chelsea, do not loan this man out again, he’s a keeper.

Fabian Delph 7.5 —

Always applied pressure on the Belgium midfield and was so significant in pivotal moments in defence. Crucially prevented Belgium on numerous occasions in the second half from adding to their hefty goal tally at this World Cup.

Eric Dier 7 —

Replaced Jordan Henderson as the lynchpin in the middle of the park and was effective at both ends of the pitch. Had England’s best chance of the match cleared off the line by his Tottenham teammate Alderweireld. Anticipated well and came into the game well in an offensive sense in the second half. Was the creative hub of England in the second half, an area where Jordan Henderson was arguably deficient in at this World Cup.

Danny Rose 5 —

Energetic, but ultimately Meunier got the better of him on a few occasions, leaving England scrambling to defend. Replaced by Lingard for the second half.
