Tallies two interceptions in win
O'Reilly had two interceptions, one cross (zero accurate) and one tackle in Saturday's 2-1 win versus Norway.
Analysis: O'Reilly did a decent job defensively, though he lacked offensive projection in the quarter-finals matchup. He has now made four consecutive starts, generating five tackles, four interceptions and seven clearances over that span. He'll likely continue to play as a left-back in the final rounds of the international competition.
Hits post during 3-2 win
O'Reilly recorded one shot (zero on goal) in Sunday's 3-2 victory versus Mexico. In addition, he was given a yellow card in the 72nd minute.
Analysis: O'Reilly helped England pick up a 3-2 win over Mexico, which will see them take on Norway in the World Cup quarterfinals. The left-back hit the post from distance with his only shot of the game. The shot came shortly after halftime and would have put England 3-1 ahead. O'Reilly also picked up a yellow card in an unsavoury incident where he appeared to throw his elbow and catch the Mexican opposition. The defender has started four of the five matches so far in the tournament and has been crucial to Tuchel's team. He has taken at least one shot in each match but has only put one of the seven shots on target.
