Player Ratings: England Qualify for the Upcoming Tournament

England earned their spot at the global tournament with a decisive triumph over Latvia on Tuesday evening.

England's Starting XI

• Jordan Pickford – Made a couple of good saves in the latter period to maintain his impressive clean sheet run. It's now nine in a row. 6.5
• The defender – Has taken to international football with ease. Sterner tests are coming, of course, but a good start to his England career. 7
• The defender – Two games in five days will do the City defender a world of good. Remains one of the automatic picks on the team-sheet, fitness permitting. 7
• Ezri Konsa – Selected ahead of Marc Guehi and performed solidly. Made an excellent last-ditch recovery tackle in the second half to boot. 7
• Myles Lewis-Skelly – Appeared a little not at his best at times, expected given his scarce minutes at his club. An interesting few months ahead. 6
• Newcastle's star – Appears essential in this England team at the moment. Seems made for this level and has developed an strong partnership with Rice. 7
• Declan Rice – Enjoying his advanced midfield role. The backbone of England's midfield is showing his creative abilities now. Becoming a true all-round midfielder. 7
• The forward – Not as impactful as he has been in England's wins over Serbia and Wales. It will be revealed next month who is the rightful holder of the number 10 shirt. 6
• Arsenal's star – Contributed an assist to his excellent goal against Wales last Thursday. Will be crucial to England's prospects next summer. 7.5
• The striker – In the form of his life. Took his count for the season to 20 goals. Has hit the back of the net 76 occasions for his country. Can he reach 100? 8
• Newcastle's attacker – Sharp finish to start things off for England here in away. Has done a good job during this break. 7.5

England Substitutes

• The veteran (for Rice 60) – Maintained the tempo in midfield. 6
• Crystal Palace's star (for Rogers 60) – Excellently taken goal and a danger. 7
• West Ham's attacker (for Saka 60) – Battles on his hands to make the squad when the squad is full. 6
• The defender (for Stones 71) – As you'd expect, handled everything aerially. 6
• Marcus Rashford (for Gordon 71) – A speedy dash down the left was noticeable. 6

With their place confirmed, the team can now focus for the upcoming tournament with optimism.
