England V Switzerland: Man For Man
Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.

David James: Escaped after poor first-half punch. Static for Hakan Yakin free-kick. Still fails to convince. Marks: 4/10
Gary Neville: Not at his most assured. Lucky not to concede first-half penalty. Set up third goal. 5
Sol Campbell: Imperious in the air and on the ground. Great physical strength. Held defence together. 7
John Terry: Nervous start. Conceded possession and free-kicks. Confidence grew as game wore on. 5
Ashley Cole: Left exposed by Scholes, he coped admirably. But should have counter-attacked and used his pace more. 5
David Beckham: Clever pass to help create Rooney goal. Flickered but his passing range improved. 6
Frank Lampard: Energetic but slack in possession in first half. Ran with the ball too often. Eventually settled down and improved. 6
Paul Scholes: Drifted infield creating room for Cole, but also leaving him exposed. Intelligent passing when on the ball. But faded. 5
Steven Gerrard: Great run for Rooney's first goal but struggled to gain control. Spread the play cleverly. Struck his goal calmly. 6
Wayne Rooney: Assured, aggressive and drove his team on. Now the talisman. He took his goals well. But he also deserved his booking for poor challenge on Stiel. 8
Michael Owen: Showed great composure to set up Rooney. But, in general, far too stationary. Lack of conviction and confidence starting to cause concern. 5
Substitutes:
Owen Hargreaves (for Scholes, 70): As ever showed great energy and pushed forward with intent. 6
Darius Vassell (for Owen, 72): Great determination and pace to create second goal. Pushing for starting place? 6
Kieron Dyer (for Rooney, 82): Pace should have been used earlier. Was unable to get into game. 5
SWITZERLAND
Jorg Stiel: Quick off his line. Assured. Under no great pressure until the end. Unfortunate with second goal. Marks: 6/10
Bernt Haas: Tried to get forward but was panicky in defence. Nevertheless, dismissal was very harsh. 5
Murat Yakin: Stood up well and provided a threat at set-pieces, combining with his brother, although he tired. 6
Patrick Muller: Held a strong defensive line but then got into terrible mess for second goal. Struggled with pace. 5
Christoph Spycher: Read play well, covering across the defence. Unfazed by challenge of Beckham. 6
Benjamin Huggel: Aggressive, James Beattie lookalike. A handful for Cole but then faded. 6
Fabio Celestini: Competed well but, as a defensive midfielder, was withdrawn as Switzerland chased game. 5
Raphael Wicky: Took fight to England, aggressive in the challenge, and tried his best to get forward. 6
Hakan Yakin: Fantastic delivery from set-pieces. Dangerous in possession. Took up intelligent positions. 7
Stéphane Chapuisat: Simply too old. A yard, never mind half a yard, too slow. Failed to threaten. 3
Alexander Frei: Fluffed a first-half header. Hard-running up front. Occupied defenders. Led the line well. 7
Substitutes:
Daniel Gygax (for Chapsuisat, h-t): Almost scored with first touch. And tried to score with every other. 5
Ricardo Cabanas (for Celestini, 53): Provided a forward threat but unable to make any great impression. 6
Johann Vonlanthen (for Hakan Yakin, 83): Too little time to make impression - although Hargreaves may disagree. 5
