Well done, Harry. No, not that one. Here are our player ratings from ENGUSA.
The left side was more productive than the right despite England’s obsession with attacking down Trippier’s side in the first half in particular. Some nice one touch passes to slip Saka in a couple of times early on but that avenue was shut down pretty quickly.“Kicked the ball out of play,” as Roy Keane was very keen to highlight at half-time, and did a weird bear hug on no-one in particular to clear space for Weston McKennie’s excellent chance in the first half.
But he played a couple of excellent diagonal passes and got it through the lines when he could. He also did the bits of ‘proper defending’ that he tends to do well really bloody well – the booming headers from Pulsic’s surprisingly good corners, the interceptions and stepping in to win the ball a la Bobby Moore.
Maguire’s footballing demons may well hurt England at some point, but those demons don’t appear to affect him getting his noggin on it. Good for him.Gareth Southgate said his and Maguire’s use of the ball was “outstanding and people don’t appreciate that”. You can count us among those people. The one moment of his we remember was the point in the second half when he kept the ball for what felt like 30 seconds before booting it forward straight to the goalkeeper before waving his arms in the air.
