He is maybe the most convincing argument that England could still go on and win this tournament. After all, Jude Bellingham knows what it’s like to win things — and to be the one to win them.
Today, others shone brighter but Bellingham still did his bit. Here he is, also speaking to BBC Sport:
💬 “It’s probably our best performance of the tournament. I felt we had a lot of control and even when Switzerland took over, we were still quite comfortable. Still lacking those big chances too, but we had a lot of dangerous attacks and I’m proud of the boys.
“Then the things you can’t measure — character, mentality — we showed that in the shoutout. Players coming on, having 10 kicks of the ball and then taking a penalty with that much pressure and the whole country expecting.
“It’s a special thing and a special bunch of players.”
