The World Cup served up another busy slate, and our Team of the Day brings together the standout performers based on Sofascore Rating. Norway and England drive the XI, while Mexico supply two livewires out wide. Here is the July 5 lineup in a clean 4-3-3.

Forwards take the spotlight

– Erling Haaland leads the line with a Sofascore Rating of 9.1. Norway’s No. 9 was the day’s top performer.
– Mexico’s wide pairing produced again. Julián Quiñones checks in at 7.9 on the left, with Roberto Alvarado on the right at 7.5.
This trio gave the Team of the Day pace, power and end product across the front.

Engine room owned by England and Norway

– Jude Bellingham dictated play and earned a 9.0. He was the best midfielder on the pitch today.
– Elliot Anderson added balance with a 7.2, while Sander Berge’s 7.4 rounded out a midfield that mixed control and ball-winning.

Back line built on Norwegian steel

– Ørjan Nyland posted a 7.9 to anchor the side in goal.
– The defense features David Møller Wolfe at 7.2, Dan Burn at 7.0, Thomas Heggem at 6.8 and Julian Ryerson at 6.9.
It is a Norway-heavy unit that paired solidity with reliable distribution from the full backs.
