England player ratings: Harry Kane one of three stars to get 5 World Cup draw against USA
England crumbled to a disappointing goalless draw against their American rivals at the World Cup on Friday night. The Three Lions were lucky enough to secure top spot in Group B, as well as their place in the tournament's Round of 16, with a win. But they now face Wales on Tuesday and will need to win to ensure they finish ahead of the United States and Iran, with the Welsh set to finish bottom. Express Sport rates and ranks England players after their failure to beat USA in Qatar.
England (4-2-3-1)Jordan Pickford - 6
Sound handling when needed, but often frustrated with lack of options for quick distribution.
Kieran Trippier - 6
Set pieces never really tested USA and he was sloppy with the ball at times. Then he would occasionally produce a devastating pass.
John Stones - 6
His pace helped keep England fit when they threatened to be stretched.
Harry Maguire - 7
Confidence continues to grow as he reaches his 50th cap and a dazzling left wing run. His good direction was vital.
Luke Shaw - 6
Delivery was underwhelming at times and failed to combine with Mount in the same way it did against Iran.
Declan Rice - 6
Mature, composed performances kept a watchful eye on American riders, but were too often overwhelmed by large numbers.
Jude Bellingham - 6
Quieter came out this time with only a strange glimpse of what he can do in a flash. We must remember that he is still a child.
Mason Mount - 5
Seemed to lack his usual energy and England's threat levels dropped accordingly. Not quite on the right wavelength.
Bukayo Saka - 6
Unusually subdued performance considering England's recent form. Lacked killer instinct with chances he had.
Raheem Sterling - 5
A test opportunity was squandered before the break, but I wanted to see him run more against the uncertain USA defense.
Harry Kane - 5
I held the ball well, but brilliant layoffs were rare. One would expect to do better with a first chance and head for death.
SUBSTITUTESJack Grealish (for Sterling, min 69) 7
Jordan Henderson (for Bellingham, min 69) 6
Marcus Rashford (for Saka, min 78) 6
USA (4-3-3): Turner 6, Dest 7 (Moore 77), Zimmerman 7, Ream 7, Robinson 6; McKennie 8 (Aaronson 77), Adams 7, Musah 7; Weah 7 (Sargent 83), Wright 7 (Reyna 83), Pulisic 7.
Man of the Match: Weston McKennie - embodied everything impressive about USA performance.
