England's late collapse against Argentina has left fans and pundits stunned, with the team's defense ultimately unable to withstand the pressure.
Goalkeeper Jordan Pickford received a rating of 6, as he dealt effectively with Argentina's corner kicks and made a crucial save just before halftime. However, his efforts were ultimately overshadowed by the team's collapse in the final minutes.
Reece James was given a rating of 6, as he performed his duties adequately but failed to make a significant impact on the game. He was replaced late on as England searched for a comeback.
John Stones and Marc Guehi both earned 7s, as they provided a solid presence at the back and dealt with Argentina's attacks calmly. Stones was particularly impressive, leading the England defense with his experience and composure.
Djed Spence stole the show with a 9, as he was a constant threat down the left flank, forcing Argentine mistakes and committing at the back with his aggressive play. His challenge on Giuliano Simeone shortly after Anthony Gordon's opener was a highlight of the game.
Declan Rice received a 6, as he looked fitter after recovering from illness but tired as the game wore on. Elliot Anderson and Morgan Rogers both earned 7s, as they were a magnet for winning fouls and produced a wonderful assist for Gordon's goal, respectively.
Jude Bellingham and Anthony Gordon also earned 7s, as they caused problems for Argentina with their speed and strength, with Gordon's goal being the highlight of his performance. Harry Kane worked tirelessly for the cause but received a rating of 5, as he was not involved in much of the game.
