MIAMI GARDENS — England’s Declan Rice is on the scoresheet early in South Florida’s final World Cup match.
Rice scored a goal against France in the third minute on Saturday, July 18 at Hard Rock Stadium to make the score 1-0.
The English midfielder shot from outside the box after intercepting a pass near midfield and driving unimpeded to the French penalty box.
Rice has come under criticism in the English press after the “Three Lions” lost 2-1 to Argentina in the World Cup semifinals on Wednesday, July 15.
Scottish pundit Graeme Souness questioned whether Rice was truly a midfielder or would be better off playing in an entirely defensive role as a center back.
