Bellingham's Brace Earns England a Tough Night in Miami

Jude Bellingham was the undisputed star of England's quarter-final win over Norway in Miami, earning a nine out of ten from The Guardian's player raters. Their report describes his composure for the first goal as unbelievable and his second as pure instinct, underlining how central he has become to this England team.

The Guardian also highlighted Anthony Gordon as a standout on the left flank, rating him eight out of ten for a performance that included an excellent assist for Bellingham. Bukayo Saka, introduced at half time, was noted as far more effective than the man he replaced and earned an eight of his own.

Declan Rice, clearly battling injury and illness according to The Guardian, was below his usual standard and rated just five, while Noni Madueke struggled on four. England's reliance on Bellingham to conjure moments of brilliance will be tested even further when Argentina come to town on Wednesday.
