Another final. Another familiar feeling of disappointment. England fans had hoped Euro 2024 was finally their time, but thanks to the excellence of Spain, it was not to be.
It was a strange tournament in many ways for England, just one win and two goals in the group stage, before they were saved by a 95th minute Jude Bellingham bicycle kick in the last 16 clash with Slovakia. A 2-1 semi final win over the Netherlands perhaps showcased the best of the Three Lions, but the late 2-1 defeat to Spain in the final was evidence of all their flaws. In some ways, England grew into the tournament, in others they never really got themselves going.
Harry Kane was poor throughout but ended the tournament sharing the Golden Boot award, while a number of fringe players showed their worth to England. But who was England’s stand out player at Euro 2024? Who enhanced their reputation - and who’s reputation took a hit?
Here how we rated all 26 England player’s at Euro 2024.
21. Eberechi Eze - 6
While he did little wrong, Eze will have hoped to have had more impact in the few games he was introduced from the bench. That said, the Crystal Palace man has years on his side and the tournament experience will do him well. | Getty Images Photo: Getty Images

24. Cole Palmer - 7.5
Should have played more. Scored in the final, set up the winner in the semi final. A great option of the bench, many feel he should have started more games at the tournament. | Nick Potts Photo: Nick Potts
