England player ratings: Harry Maguire stands tall against the USA but Manchester United pal Luke Shaw not at races

ENGLAND'S World Cup campaign ground to a halt on Friday after being held by the USA.

Gareth Southgate's men struggled to get out of first gear in a dull 0-0 draw.

The result was certainly a reminder to fans of England's form prior to the 6-2 win over Iran.

And the Three Lions must now beat Wales in their final group game to seal a spot in the knockout stages.

But who was England's best player against the USA? And did anyone have a match to forget?

Here, SunSport's Jordan Davies delivers his England player ratings...

JORDAN PICKFORD - 6/10

No saves to make despite a worrying first half in front of him. One dicey moment under a corner but otherwise did what he had to do.

KIERAN TRIPPIER - 5

Lax in defence for second game running, especially in first half for McKennie and Pulisic chances. Is Kyle Walker fit enough to start?

JOHN STONES - 7

Important interventions in both halves when team in danger of conceding more chances. Less effective in possession than v Iran.

HARRY MAGUIRE - 8 STAR MAN

Won almost everything in the air, which was vital at times in second half.

Fought fires down England’s left. Like Stones, unable to do as much with the ball.

LUKE SHAW - 5

The USA got in behind him far too easily in first half, forcing Maguire to cover. Had fewer opportunities to deliver at the other end.

JUDE BELLINGHAM - 5

Unable to dictate game as v Iran, struggling against athletic, three-man midfield. Non-existent in second half before being subbed. Reality check.

DECLAN RICE - 6

Opponents’ greater dynamism and numerical advantage caused him problems in the first half, but improved in second to stabilise team.

MASON MOUNT - 6

Online haters piled on, but only player close to matching energy of opening game. Admittedly without much reward bar first-half shot.

BUKAYO SAKA - 6

Started well, but did not have enough of the ball in good positions to threaten regularly. Suffered from what was going on behind him.

HARRY KANE - 6

Should he have put more on the early shot? Looked a bit sluggish, raising questions about his fitness. Will rue sending late header wide.

RAHEEM STERLING – 5

Teeing up Mount shot and one run only highlights of frustrating night when he was starved of decent ball, but deservedly taken off.

SUBSTITUTES

JACK GREALISH (for Sterling, 68mins) - 6

Increased threat and won free kicks

JORDAN HENDERSON (for Bellingham, 69mins) - 6

Fresh legs but little impact

MARCUS RASHFORD (for Saka, 78mins) - 6

No fairytale this time. Had a shot at least.

NOT USED

Nick Pope, Aaron Ramsdale, Kyle Walker, Kalvin Phillips, Eric Dier, Conor Coady, Trent Alexander-Arnold, Phil Foden, Ben White, Callum Wilson, Conor Gallagher.
