England Argentina player ratings: How to rate the players
We ask readers to rate every England and Argentina starter on a simple 1–10 scale (1 = poor, 10 = outstanding). Your ratings are anonymous and used to produce a running average for each player’s performance.
How to cast a vote: click each player listed in the rating ballot and choose a score from 1–10. You may change your vote while the poll remains open; the page updates live so the averages shown below will refresh automatically as new submissions arrive.

How the live averages work: each player line below contains a live placeholder span that the page will populate with the current mean score and vote count as the frontend receives new data. If a player has not yet received public ratings the placeholder will display a dash (—) until the first votes come in.
Note on substitutes: voters can rate substitutes separately for their minutes on the pitch. We will show the combined running average for the full match once voting closes after full-time.
Reader ratings: England
Below are the live reader tallies for England. The list follows the matchday order from the official team sheet. Each player line includes a live average value (updated automatically) and a short one-line reader summary when a clear consensus appears.

Short reader notes (dynamic): as votes cluster around particular players we will display one-line summaries capturing the dominant reactions (for example, “safe in goal”, “missed big chance”, “controlled midfield”). These notes are generated from common reader comments and the voting pattern; they appear only once a clear consensus forms.

BBC final ratings and verdict
Come back 30 minutes after full-time to see BBC Sport’s official player ratings for both teams. BBC’s editorial panel will publish its post-match assessments, and we will add those BBC scores beside the reader averages so you can compare the two sets of ratings at a glance.
Once the BBC ratings are posted we will append a short verdict highlighting where readers and BBC agreed or diverged most — for example, standout performers who receive high marks from both groups and players whose public rating differs notably from the professional assessment.
What comes next
After BBC Sport releases its final ratings (30 minutes after full-time), we will update this page with a concise comparison summary and a quick chart showing top- and bottom-rated players by both readers and BBC reviewers.
If you voted during the match, return after the BBC publish their scores to see how your view compares with the editorial verdict. Save the page or refresh this article to view the updated averages and the BBC column beside each player’s name.
