England’s Jordan Pickford did not see any action once more, staying on the bench during his team’s frustrating draw against rivals France in the closing match. Critics questioned his absence as England crashed out of the tournament in dramatic fashion. Pickford later insisted he was prepared to step in at any moment and convert a spot kick if given the chance. The Three Lions’ substitutes’ bench featured veteran duo Harry Kane and Jude Bellingham yet again during the tense encounter in the heart of Paris.
