This BBC Sport item is not a reported match story but a live interactive page inviting users to rate the players during England’s World Cup 2026 semi-final against Argentina. It matters mainly as a fan-engagement feature around a major fixture, letting supporters score each player’s performance and later compare their views with the final average ratings from other BBC users.
The page says ratings are given out of 10 and that the voting closes 30 minutes after the final whistle, with sign-in to a BBC account required to take part. It lists the starting XIs for both teams, including Harry Kane, Jude Bellingham and Jordan Pickford for England, and Lionel Messi, Julian Alvarez and Emiliano Martinez for Argentina, while noting that no substitutions had yet been made when published 27 minutes earlier.
