Jude Bellingham

Just a thought: are the England side being more rigorously drug-tested than Real Madrid?

I'd imagine so - Madrid aren't playing

You’d be hard pressed to know that based on some of the England commentary throughout the tournament…

An 18 year old tailing off for a few weeks while carrying an injury after 3 seasons of non-stop improvements that catapulted him from academy football to worldwide household name? Appalling!!!

Seriously listen to yourself. He’s a few weeks removed from an absolutely incredible debut season and even now when he’s supposed to be playing badly, he was England's best player in the first game and scored the likely goal of the tournament to keep England alive in the 4th.

And that’s while apparently playing for the worst coach in international football.

He’s 21

He’s 21

With the heart of a 17 year old :)

With the heart of a 17 year old :)

And the temperament of a five year old

Tbf to him, he's young.

He's shown good flashes of being a top player. Clearly he doesn't lack confidence.

What he needs is to cut out the need to be the star man every time he gets the ball. Just do the simple stuff first. He needs to be more disciplined to stay in his role and position.

I just can't see him doing that and will be in a competitive battle with Mbappe to be the main man.

Bellingham doesn't do what's best for the team, he does what's best to cement his hero status. Sometimes they coincide - e.g. a goal, or last ditch challenge, but more often they don't.

Hes the next Dele Alli

I can see that.

Mbappe will be billy big bollocks and Madrid and I predict he'll be on loan to the scum or another mid table outfit in January.

I don't believe for one single second that will happen.

I presume he will play in midfield now and be shown up the Madrid fans won't give him long if his standards drops and he stops getting those late goals that paper over his performances
