ENGLAND drew their first World Cup Group C clash 1-1 with USA. Here are our player ratings for the England players.

ROBERT GREEN: Even a good save from Jozy Altidore could not make up for a first-half howler. 4.

GLEN JOHNSON: Competent defensively and occasionally threatening. 7.

JOHN TERRY: A commanding performance like the Terry of old. 8.

LEDLEY KING: Typically classy and composed until his withdrawal at the break. 7.

ASHLEY COLE: Understated but relatively solid. 6.

AARON LENNON: Came to life in the second half but delivery was poor. 6.

STEVEN GERRARD: Typically incisive opening goal was followed by a disciplined performance in the middle. 8.

FRANK LAMPARD: Started slowly and was a second-rate stand-in for Gareth Barry. 6.

JAMES MILNER: Booked and substituted after 30 minutes having struggled with a virus in the build-up. 5.

WAYNE ROONEY: Spirited and sprightly but often starved of possession. 7.

EMILE HESKEY: Delightful first-time pass for Gerrard's opening goal. Rarely put a foot wrong - except when bearing down on goal. 7.

SUBSTITUTES

SHAUN WRIGHT-PHILLIPS (FOR MILNER, 30): Thrown into action and livened things up. 6.
