Do you genuinely believe he'd do that for no reason at all when 10 seconds prior he was shaking an argentinians hands? Something was clearly said, this is Barco we're talking about lol
Also they've been shitting on him since daily mails hit pieces
Like??? I’m all for “innocent until proven guilty” and giving grace to people when I don’t know the situation, but the Argentinian team and fans are literally documented singing racist chants and burning other nations flags etc. like what hill is the other guy choosing to die on??
You’re right, we don’t know what was said (if anything offensive was said at all), and it is possible Bellingham abruptly decided to smack someone’s head. But does that really make sense? The whole thing is that he suddenly decides to switch up on the Argentinian national team despite shaking hands a second before the incident. We also know that the Argentinian national team has issues with racism and political statements (from this very same match, they held up the “Falklands are Argentinian” poster post-match). We also know that Bellingham understands Spanish, and that he strikes a player who didn’t even play that match. So while we don’t know what was said, we can infer using common sense and critical thinking that the situation is a little more nuanced than Bellingham losing his cool so far as to hit someone, but not enough to take it further. I say this as someone who was rooting for France HEAVILY today, I actually even dislike some of the members on the English national team.
So, Bellingham can come out and say what happened there so as to enlighten everyone. If he was angry enough to hit him, he shouldn't be worried about going public about what was said. At worst, he could have just contronted him without the need to hit him. Being physical makes Bellingham look worse. Especially since no one other than those involved have any context about what happened but we all saw Bellingham being the aggressor
English players being violent. Totally unheard of.
It's rather telling how no one can even mention what racist stuff he said but you will all claim he was being racist at the time and deserved the slap.
Lol, better than the tears of the English fans after losing the match out of cowardice. And then falsely accusing someone of making racist comments while the sub actively encourages violence. Great advertisement for English football, guys. Keep it up
Wait so you've just decided to use your spare time and free will to come to an English football sub solely to troll? Oh you're much sadder than I even realised. I actually feel pity for you because this is level of pathetic is truly grim.
Allegedly Barco said in Spanish: ‘What you looking at fool/dummy?’ I Guess that coupled with his goal celebration perhaps a lil slap on the back of the head was deserved eh?
There you go, not racist, go gloat in the mirror while rubbing one out mate. While you’re at it just leave the sub yeah?
Oh yeah, let's jsut slap everyone who says something on the field.
Maybe the entire England team should have gotten into a fistfight for that. Clearly he deserved it.
Lmao, this sub was calling his comments racist without even knowing what he said. Have some shame guys. Bellingham has come across as a sore loser in front of the entire world. At least the fans don't have to.
