Final result: Wales 0-3 England
Pickford 6 – Wales try to call him into question after England have already won it. And he, on the few occasions when the opponents look out for him, responds present.
Walker 6 – He limits himself to the homework and carries it out, flawlessly. From 57th Alexander-Arnold 6.5 – Join the action of the definitive 0-3.
Stones 6 – The Welsh attack didn’t create who knows what worries and so he tried to embarrass the opposing defense by venturing into attack from the placed: he tried it at the end of the first half and at the end of the game, when he went one step away from goal.
Maguire 6 – We already knew that he had square feet and tonight here’s yet another confirmation: in the 31st minute he ventures into an offensive foray, enters the opponent’s area and then sends the ball into the lineout. He doesn’t suffer in the defensive phase, also because Wales immediately gave up attacking.
Shaw 6 – Substance and discreet racing. She does her job without ever faltering. From the 65th Tripper 6 – Right away in the game, he ensures a good boost in the last half hour.
Henderson 6.5 – Substance in the middle of the field, but also order. Wins the duel with the Welsh halfbacks.
Rice 6 – It acts as a dam and doesn’t have too many problems containing the Welsh median. Do what you have to do, no need for overtime. From the 58th Phillips 6.5 – Illuminating the verticalization for Rashford on the occasion of the 0-3 goal.
Rashford 7.5 – Among the most dangerous in a not particularly exciting first half, he unlocked the game at the start of the second half with a free kick that surprised Ward on his post. Then he starts his own business and also signs the 0-3. From the 76th Grealish sv
Bellingham 6 – Less bursting than usual, it trots in the middle of the field and sometimes tries to light up. But the spark never fully ignites.
Foot 7.5 – His accelerations are touches of colour. When the match doesn’t break away from 0-0, a play is invented which gives rise to the 1-0 penalty. Then a few moments later he signs the doubling: irrepressible.
Kane 6,5 – From finalizer it is turning into a trimmer. He is still missing his first goal in this World Cup, but he is already on his third assist: in the 51st he serves Foden a ball that only needs to be pushed into the net. From the 58th Wilson 6 – He has many minutes available to make himself dangerous, but he can’t.
Gareth Southgate 7 – Your England has spread and, at the same time, has given the impression of still having many cartridges to shoot.
