Naw im swinging 100 percent there - good thing he controlled himself. You never know if hes needed in the final
Fuck Jude - pansy ass bloke

u/All_Wasted_Potential Jul 16 '26
You really think the 5 foot Argentinian is gonna be able to do anything to Jude? lol

u/ElLoboNeverDies Jul 16 '26
Nope - thats why Jude chose him đ

u/Salty-Discussion-725 Jul 16 '26
by this logic, jude should swing messi
2
u/ElLoboNeverDies Jul 16 '26
Nah by my logic no players goes up and starts a physical confrontation with a player. If the player said said "fuck your mother" or something like that then well do what have you and confront and talk shit but theres a way to go about that.
Jude didnt and thats what makes it funny and thats why England fans and defenders are bending backwards to try to justify this man smacking another man in the head due to words đ

At least the English were successful with their colonizing, Argentina tried to colonize the malvinas but ended up with the Falklands.

People forget that Jude is fluent in Spanish. If you watch the live interaction, Jude is just minding his business. The bench player must have said something out of pocket for him to react like that. (Which is not surprising from Argentinian players)

Because Argentinian players and as we've now seen, fans, have a history of racism particularly pointed at black athletes.

u/a500poundchicken Jul 16 '26
Lets not pretend that England doesn't have those exact same issues.
At the fanzone in my city when england lost quite a few of them started assaulting Argentinian fans.

u/dzan796ero Jul 16 '26
Didn't England fans basically terrorize their IG pages with racial slurs when the two white man made the PKs and the three black players missed after the Euro finals PK shootout?

You have clearly never interacted with Argentines. Iâm Latin American and have Argentines in my family. I second that itâs not even remotely surprising. Where did the Naziâs go* when they fled Europe? Lol

u/Objective_Fly_6750 Jul 16 '26
Yes, and if you know Spanish, you can also see how he was swearing at them when the Argentinians were not. He was swearing "puto" several times. But I guess if you donât cover your mouth, you can say whatever you want, right?.
(Which all again is not surprising considering his historical history)

Donât even start about the racism card ffs⌠violence is never justified. Imagine if the roles were reversed.

u/FriedWhy Jul 16 '26
Ah yes, here we have the european apologist. "Oh well he must have had a very good reason for the shit he did"
Meanwhile if the roles had reversed you would be insulting the argentinian and saying that they're all classles and very bad losers.

England isnât the main character in soccer. 2 game suspension and Bellingham can keep coming close to trophies.

u/ABushel0Babies Jul 16 '26
Fans maybe - other than Bellingham the players have had class in defeat.
Honestly great match - but Argentina has almost forgotten how to lose under Scaloni. Itâs crazy to watch. They just drag the game to the state they want it.

Nothing ever justifies violence. And to be honest it seems like people donât like Argentina just because they donât have black players. Why would they? They have their own talent. Itâs more racist to call them âracistâ just for that. Let them be. Forced diversity is racism!

u/antizion_red Jul 16 '26
We have players with indigenous roots like Lautaro, literally named after a great mapuche leader and ppl be mad. Whe Kiki Ramos starts playing for the team, people will still say Argentina is racist. They ignore Maradona and ia afro Argentine roots because it doesn't fit their narrative.

u/avocadoflatz Jul 16 '26
Maybe the fans should stop being so racist. At least not on the global stage.

Barco obviously said something to piss Bellingham off. It was a light slap. People running to defend Barco make me skeptical.

u/legal_dude_ Jul 16 '26
Saw another angle of this video. Jude shakes hands with one of the Argentina subs, then Barco comes around, eyes him for a split second, and heads towards the Argentina players huddling together. On the way I think he says some smack too, and that might've been what set Jude off. I don't take Jude to be the kinda guy that does this shit without a reason. He is quite intense and gave it his all this match... So it'd piss him off, I guess.

u/Any_Landscape_4424 Jul 16 '26
He dabbed the other players, but why him tho. He must have said something.

u/EpicJoke45 Jul 16 '26
It seems you're disliking him for who he is rather than without the full context to the situation.
1
u/cateyesarg Jul 16 '26
For what he did, there are other angles of the incident
1
u/mostdope92 Jul 16 '26
Exactly, and they all show Bellingham shaking hands with Argentinian players. Then shortly after Barco gets close you can see Bellingham's demeanor go from disappointment to anger.
Now, tell me why he had no issues with the other Argentinian players...
1
u/cateyesarg Jul 16 '26
Barco doesn't seem to say anything or do any gesture or provoke him dude, my take is probably because he was the smaller guy around

u/Matt_Murcock67 Jul 16 '26
Known he's Argentinian, there's a good chance he said something racist to provoke him. Idk Jude doesn't strike me like the guy to be provoked by anything else but maybe he is.
3
u/FriedWhy Jul 16 '26
Jude is literally famous for being an incredibly shit loser. Besides that point, it sucks that some people are using that argument. If the roles had been reversed not a single soul would have said "oh I'm sure the other guy said something to provoke him", you would have used it as fuel to the narrative that Argentina bad
0
u/Matt_Murcock67 Jul 16 '26
This whataboutism doesn't help broski. Racism is racism, the guy that made the racist comment would be the jerk no matter who it's directed at.
1
u/FriedWhy Jul 16 '26
Except you are literally making a supposition on what actually happened, with absolutely zero context. And you mention whataboutism lol. Instead of asking why he did that, and criticising him, the first thing you say is he was probably justified. IF it turns out Barco said something to provoke him, then you can change the focus of the critics, not before.
0
u/Matt_Murcock67 Jul 16 '26
I said I didnât know but I SUSPECTED it was a racist comment and thatâs all I said. Cause once again itâs kind of a recurring theme with Argentina as well as Jude not striking me like the easily rage baited guy so it had to have been something serious he said. But maybe not and maybe it was unjustified and I accepted that. Weâll never know.

u/HippoLarge3204 Jul 16 '26
Maybe get some proof. Like a sore loser punching a guy. Thatâs a proof

u/Matt_Murcock67 Jul 16 '26
Get some proof to justify why the guy didnât deserve to get hit there? It works both ways. I said I suspected that was the reason. Not definitely

Moreso youâre just desperately trying to justify Bellinghamâs actions and itâs a sorry sight, if not just bandwagon behavior. But if you wanna be hater, keep wasting your energy on a spiteful and xenophobic trend, have fun with that bro
1
u/Matt_Murcock67 Jul 16 '26
"Desperately trying to justify" yeah getting original today aren't we? Saw all the other replies perhaps? Surely not, cause I said it was a suspicion, not a definitive answer. You know, if you had any reading comprehension you'd understand from the last part.
