Tournament Context
BBC Sport England reporter Alex Howell rates the players after the 0-0 draw with Ghana – plus have your say.

BBC Sport England reporter Alex Howell assesses how the players performed in Boston on Tuesday – and you can see how BBC Sport readers rated them at the bottom of the page too.
Squad Implications
Jordan Pickford: The goalkeeper did not have a save to make and barely had the ball at his feet either as England pushed for the win. 5 Djed Spence: The Tottenham defender was making his first start of the tournament and defended well. One important block in the second half to stop a good Ghana chance. The England left-back was also involved in a good passage of play in the second half that ended with a Gordon shot.
World Cup Outlook
The World Cup angle is important because tournament football rewards timing. Form, fitness, squad roles, and manager trust can change quickly before the final list is shaped.
