Another final. Another familiar feeling of disappointment. England fans had hoped Euro 2024 was finally their time, but thanks to the excellence of Spain, it was not to be.
It was a strange tournament in many ways for England, just one win and two goals in the group stage, before they were saved by a 95th minute Jude Bellingham bicycle kick in the last 16 clash with Slovakia. A 2-1 semi final win over the Netherlands perhaps showcased the best of the Three Lions, but the late 2-1 defeat to Spain in the final was evidence of all their flaws. In some ways, England grew into the tournament, in others they never really got themselves going.
Harry Kane was poor throughout but ended the tournament sharing the Golden Boot award, while a number of fringe players showed their worth to England. But who was England’s stand out player at Euro 2024? Who enhanced their reputation - and who’s reputation took a hit?
Here how we rated all 26 England player’s at Euro 2024.
1. Jordan Pickford - 7
He didn't win the Golden Glove this time. However, from the opening game against Serbia to the final against Spain, Pickford showed why he is still England's undisputed number one. | Getty Images Photo: Getty Images
2. Kyle Walker - 5
A disappointing tournament by the Manchester City defender's standards was compounded by a poor performance in the Euro 2024 final. Perhaps his last chance at Euros glory with England. | Getty Images Photo: Getty Images
3. Luke Shaw - 6
Didn't feature until the knockouts and started just one game. Did well against Lamine Yamal in the final, but didn't really play enough to make an impact. | Getty Images Photo: Getty Images
4. Declan Rice - 7
One of England's better performers at the Euros, he took his Arsenal form into the tournament. Struggled in the final against Spain but was largely one of Southgate's best. | AFP via Getty Images Photo: Getty Images
