“Who else?” Bellingham asked. In the direction of England fans as they survive the embarrassment of defeat to Slovakia at Euro 2024.
A header in Gelsenkirchen on 94 minutes and 34 seconds was a stunning result. It set the stage for England to win in the last 16 in extra time.
He has had his ups and downs since then, at one point even being left out of head coach Thomas Tuchel’s squad.
This World Cup was just an upward curve.
Bellingham calls that “Who else?” Message after scoring both goals in a 3-2 win over Norway in Mexico City.
It was also the latest example of Bellingham’s goalscoring ability to make crucial contributions when England needed them most.
Nine of his 12 goals for England have come in major competitions. Five have put England ahead and two have been drawn.
Only Gary Lineker – who scored six in 1986 – has scored as many clean sheets in a single World Cup and Bellingham have the chance to add more before this tournament is over.
And just to embellish his status as a complete world-class player, Erling Haaland is the only player to score with his left foot, right foot and head at this World Cup.
In short, he’s been incredibly prolific in the types of goals he’s been scoring. Some of them were classic predatory goals, others arrived in the box at the right time in the right place and then moments of individual brilliance with power, speed and skills.
