England player ratings v France: Saka hits 10 and Rice shines in 6-4 World Cup thriller | OneFootball

England signed off with a wild 6-4 win over France in Miami, turning the World Cup bronze medal match into a carnival. The stakes were modest, the entertainment was anything but.

As reported by yorkshireeveningpost.co.uk, several players looked intent on impressing Thomas Tuchel ahead of the Nations League and Euro 2028, others will reflect on missed chances. Bukayo Saka took a perfect 10, Declan Rice nine and Djed Spence eight.

Rice set the tone with a crisp opener, then delivered the corner for Ezri Konsa’s header to make it 2-0. Eberechi Eze then slipped in Saka for his second before Marcus Rashford broke clear to square for England’s third, and Spence later won the penalty that completed Saka’s hat-trick. Jude Bellingham added a late solo strike.

Dean Henderson, rated seven, conceded four yet produced several sharp saves, including a one-on-one with Kylian Mbappé that was later flagged offside. Marc Guéhi at five and Konsa at six wobbled as France poured forward, Konsa was culpable for both of Mbappé’s goals, while Jarell Quansah at five lost Bradley Barcola for France’s second.

Eberechi Eze, seven, stitched play and found pockets between the lines, while Rashford’s 30-yard drive tested Mike Maignan before his assist. Morgan Rogers, six, grafted without impact.

Ivan Toney, five, missed two big openings, and Ollie Watkins, five, was quiet and lost the ball before France’s first. Bellingham earned eight after sparking the penalty move with a raking pass to Rogers, Elliot Anderson and Reece James were sixes, and Trevoh Chalobah was not graded after a brief outing that preceded Ousmane Dembélé’s late goal.
