England v France player ratings
Use a 1–10 scale where 1 is poor and 10 is outstanding. The BBC invites readers to rate the England and France players out of 10; the reader rating tool above is where you record your marks. Please score every starting player and any substitute who made a material contribution. Short comments help other readers understand why you gave a particular mark.
How to submit your rating
- Click the player name in the rating tool and select a whole number from 1 to 10.
- Add a brief comment if you want to explain the mark (optional but useful).
- Submit each player’s score separately; you can change a score while the tool remains open during the match.
- If a player is substituted early, score them on what they contributed while on the pitch; substitutes who decisively change the game should be rated for their minutes of impact.
- Make sure you complete a score for every starter and any substitute you judge to have affected the game — incomplete sets make team averages less meaningful.
After the final whistle the tool may lock for editing; come back 30 minutes after full-time to view the BBC Sport final ratings and compare them with your scores.
Early impressions and players to watch
Before the match settles, pay attention to a few areas that often determine ratings in a single game:
- Leadership and organisation: Captains and central defenders who control the game often lift team marks.
- Creative midfielders: Players who create chances or dictate tempo usually attract higher scores if they influence key moments.
- Forwards and wide players: Look for finishing, successful take-ons and chances created — forwards that force saves or score will climb the leaderboard.
- Goalkeeper contributions: Match-defining saves or errors strongly swing ratings up or down.
- Substitutes: Game-changing subs who score, assist or stabilise a defence often earn strong marks despite limited minutes.
When and where to check the final ratings
BBC Sport – Top Stories will publish the final, editorial player ratings 30 minutes after full-time. The related BBC article is timestamped 2026-07-18T22:40:22.000Z — use that published list as the official comparison for fan votes.
After that time, compare your average scores and individual marks with the BBC’s final ratings to see where readers and editors agree or differ. Expect slight differences: editorial teams may weigh tactical influence or off-the-ball work differently from headline events such as goals or saves.
What to expect after you submit
Once you submit, your ratings contribute to the public summary and any live fan averages displayed on this page. The BBC’s final ratings are produced by its editorial staff and published in the Top Stories feed; they are the authoritative editorial list. We recommend taking a screenshot of your scores if you want to compare details side-by-side once the BBC list is posted.
