BBC Sport's England reporter Alex Howell rates the players after the Three Lions lost to Argentina in the World Cup semi-final.

England missed out on a first men's World Cup final since 1966 as holders Argentina came from behind to reach back-to-back finals. BBC Sport England reporter Alex Howell assesses how the players performed in Atlanta on Wednesday - and you can see how BBC Sport readers rated them at the bottom of the page too. Jordan Pickford: The England number one was a lot more assured than in the previous match with Norway. As Argentina sat deep, Pickford had the ball at his feet a lot and could threaten in behind the defence with his kicking. One poor pass which could have ended in an Argentina attack. One excellent save from a close range header to keep England in front but then beaten by a Fernandez strike late on before England lost. 7 Reece James: It was a big call for Tuchel to bring James back in from the start but it was a decision that nearly paid off. The right-back produced a quality performance going forward and defending too but the whole defence tired before Martinez scored a stoppage-time winner. 7 John Stones: A game which highlighted why Tuchel has always been so keen to have him in the side as the England back four had a lot of possession of the ball. A calming presence in a game with extremely high levels of tension. Unfortunately for Stones he missed his header as Martinez scored the winner. 6 Marc Guehi: It was another dependable performance from Guehi who went under the radar for how solid he was throughout the match. 7 Djed Spence: Continued where he left off from his impressive substitute performance against Norway. A great one-v-one defender and his pace offered England a threat in behind when Anthony Gordon went central. Got caught out once but Pickford produced the save. A memorable last-ditch tackle to stop Simeone. 8 Elliot Anderson: Got on the ball often and kept it ticking over in the England midfield. Best in-possession game of the World Cup. Anderson took the ball in difficult areas and broke up the play too. Managed himself excellently after picking up a yellow card in the first half but it wasn't enough to get England over the line. 8
