As is absolutely always the case, England made a lightning fast start to a major tournament as they swept Iran aside 6-2 to get their World Cup campaign up and running. tickerscricket has rated the players.
Not a game in which Rice’s vitally important role in this England side was going to be particularly eye-catching, but that doesn’t mean it wasn’t hugely important. The underlying numbers are just what you want and expect from Rice. A 95% pass accuracy rate from 95 passes, a solitary unstable touch, a tackle, three interceptions and a blocked shot. Just an absolutely vital part of this team.Be still my beating heart. Important not to get carried away.
Missed one presentable early chance, but the key thing was that he got into the position to miss it. Midfielders and wide attackers getting into the penalty area is absolutely vital for England and Mount is pretty bloody good at it.Ah, that’s just a lovely thing.
