Alex Freeman

Analysis: Freeman had a strong tournament, contributing a goal and an assist during the competition, numbers that reflect his attacking instincts and willingness to push forward from right back. His return now shifts focus to Villarreal's preseason preparations, where his pace and energy down the flank will put him in competition with Santiago Mourino for the starting role. Freeman is expected to build up his fitness gradually as preseason continues.

All-around effort in loss

Freeman had two shots (zero on goal), three crosses (zero accurate) and one chance created in Monday's 4-1 loss versus Belgium.

Analysis: Freeman was perhaps the most active member of a shaky defensive unit in Monday's game. Despite the goals conceded, the Villarreal man managed to contribute through several offensive stats and 10 duels won over 90 minutes on the field. During the entire World Cup, he scored one goal and an assist, and also focused on defensive tasks across considerable stretches of games, tallying 15 clearances and 14 tackles in 373 minutes of play.
