John Stones having an outstanding #EURO2024. Played every second for #ENG (along with Pickford, Walker, Rice). Top speed 20mph (Walker 21.6). In run to final, Stones overtaking appearance tally of some of England’s finest defenders: Campbell, then Butcher and now Pearce and Terry on to 79 in Berlin. Rarely gets done for pace or physicality, rarely out of position, so composed. Superb in #NEDENG: along with excellent Guehi, Stones dealt with Depay, Malen, then stood up to Weghorst’s physical challenge. At one corner, Stones leapt to fight both Weghorst and Van Dijk for the ball, protecting England’s goal. So committed, strong in aerial and ground duels, positive with his dribbling and eight passes into final third v Dutch - an all-round force.
