Rashford missed a great opportunity to equalize for England
Jamie Vardy and Marcus Rashford are a formidable duo and offered a few sparks along the way. But the lads haven't really played with each other that much and it will take them time to burgeon into a worthy alternative for the prolific Harry Kane.

Marcus Rashford missed a one-on-one after being released in on goal by Jamie Vardy. That was England's best chance of the game and you can't help but say that it would have been bread and butter stuff for Harry Kane.
Though Rashford drops back and his occasional dribbles can set the stage alight, he has to improve his finishing to evolve into a top striker. Jamie Vardy never really got going and this could very well have been his last game in the World Cup.
