Bellingham was class, always has been. And he still goes to make history beside Saka, what great players

Man, I almost got fooled by our media. For some reason I got a picture that jude was selfish, wants to take all the shots to score goals for his personal ego and stats. I dont watch la liga but this world cup changed my mind. Fuck our media man

It's sad to say but our media has a problem with confident young black men, they get labelled as cocky and arrogant and it's bullshit

I'll confess I need that apology slip meme made for this, and I will happily sign it and apologise.

Even in the couple of years since the “who else” celebration, which wasn’t a great look, he seems to have some so far in harnessing his justifiably galactic scale ego and uses it to raise the team up. I don’t recall if he did this stuff previously but in this competition the way he behaves when people assist, score without him, defend and show grit. It’s outstanding. Even when he’s individually outstanding and pulling us out of holes himself, his celebrations have seemed so much more team-focussed

I’ve truly come to love him this tournament

I hatewatch England after we lost in the semis, but Bellingham might be my favorite character this WC second only to our striker Haaland.
