MIAMI — Jude Bellingham stood in the stifling humidity of Miami with his arms stretched aloft as his second goal put England 2-1 up against Norway in extra time on Saturday.
If anyone was going to be England's savior it was going to be Bellingham. Again.
"Enough said, he does it every single match," said England boss Thomas Tuchel when asked about Bellingham after the game. "World class."
For the fourth time in six games at this World Cup he was the difference for England as they edged past Norway to reach the 2026 World Cup semifinals. In the lead up to this World Cup Thomas Tuchel challenged Bellingham publicly on several occasions. Looks like it worked. He has now scored six goals.
"He's brilliant. His mentality is what puts him on that level," England goalkeeper Jordan Pickford smiled. "He pops up at times every game. Big blocks, you saw in the last game against Mexico that last-ditch tackle from a set-piece was as good as a goal. We know the quality everyone has up top and Jude getting rewarded. He's been top level. Long may it continue."
