England man for man

David James

Spilled the first shot he faced, a low cross in the 25th minute. Good block in 77th minute. Had little else to trouble him in his 13th consecutive start 5 out of 10

Phil Neville

A no-nonsense, dependable performance at right-back from Manchester United's renascent utility man. Pushed forward, tracked back. 6

Jonathan Woodgate

Mobile, strong, and determidely dogged early on. Closed down well. Suspicion of unforced handball. Injuries could be his biggest worry for Portugal. 6

John Terry

Did nothing wrong and did nothing particulary spectacular as he tried to cement the second first-choice central defensive berth alongside Sol Campbell. 6

Jamie Carragher

Mostly sound but was culpable for the Swedish goal. Progressive down the left flank. Will rely on injuries elsewhere for a summer's work. 5

Owen Hargreaves

Versatile, thoughtful and assured performance, he roamed from right to centre, attacking at will. Beckham-esque free-kick that hit the woodwork. 7

Nicky Butt

Worked hard, ran intelligently. That had advantages when he dodged Swedes to find space, but drawbacks when his team-mates didn't notice. 6

Steven Gerrard

Started at the tip of the diamond, but dropped deeper to become more involved. Workrate and awareness good, distribution fine. 6

Alan Thompson

Lack of possession wasn't his fault. Not imposing himself more was, as when he was slow to provide back-up behind Rooney. But aided Carragher. 5

Wayne Rooney

Lively start, typically bustling, energetic and urgent. He exploited Sweden's lack of pace in central defence effectively. Was evidently hungry for a goal. 6

Darius Vassell

Two early dashes forward exemplified the danger of his pace, which Eriksson values highly, before club-mate Mellberg ended his night. 5

Jermain Defoe

Seized the initiative after coming on for Vassell in the 12th minute. First shot hit the post. Busy and dangerous thropughout, not afraid to shoot from range. 6

Anthony Gardner

Calm and measured, light on his feet, almost graceful at times. However, lapses in concentration, even if only tiny ones, as here, could cost him a place. 5

Gareth Southgate

Not at fault for the goal that settled the game, and he had little to do in game afterwards. He marshalled the defence adequately, if not spectacularly. 5

Joe Cole

Showed his best (which wasn't that great) at the last. First by jinking, shooting and ultimately missing the target, then by scuffing shot from a Parker pass. 5

Alan Smith

Maybe his deployment on the right was a chance to prove versatility. He is, but not on this evidence. 5

Emile Heskey

Made one decent run, where power was key to shug away challenges, that ended in a fruitless shot.5

Jermaine Jenas

Had a quiet evening where he had an opportunity to impose himself. He didn't take it. 5

Scott Parker

Injected a little more adventure late on in game with a couple of lively runs. 5
