England were eliminated from the World Cup following a 2-1 semi-final defeat to Argentina in Atlanta. Djed Spence was a surprise inclusion who "paid dividends", earning a match-high 8 for his "superb" performance, including a crucial early second-half tackle.

Despite crucial saves from Jordan Pickford (7), England's defence ultimately buckled under pressure. John Stones and Marc Guehi also received 7 for battling defensive displays, but Tuchel's defensive tactics backfired. Elliot Anderson (7) was praised for his marking of Lionel Messi.

However, key players like Jude Bellingham (6), Declan Rice (5), and captain Harry Kane (5) failed to deliver impactful performances. Anthony Gordon (7) scored England's goal but was eventually subbed off as the team sought to defend a lead. Substitutes Ezri Konsa, Dan Burn, and Nico O'Reilly all received 5 for their limited contributions.
