Why Jude Bellingham’s First 20 Minutes Prove He’s England’s Unstoppable Future Captain
The second-half hydration break arrived at the perfect time for Tuchel, briefly halting France’s momentum, and giving him an opportunity to bring some composure and organisation to his troubled team. Olise wasted three chances at least.
FIFA announced the crowd of 64,478, celebrating that with “FULL HOUSE” which must have been a surprise to those sitting next to the couple of hundred empty seats. Many of the fans had been rhythmically chanting “Mbappe, Mbappe” but soon had Bellingham to cheer. England’s No 10 was loudly cheered on as Tuchel sought to set France a challenge. Anything to relieve the siege. Elliot Anderson also ran on to regain control of midfield. Ivan Toney and Eze departed. With five minutes remaining, England had a chance to kill the game off. Djed Spence raced past Gusto, who slid in and clipped the Tottenham man’s trailing left foot. Angling his penalty low past Maignan, Saka converted the 16th of the 20 he has taken: 3-5.
