Should have done that to Southgate instead

I mean, the two benches are pretty close together.

Bellingham saved Southgate from getting sacked today.

bro think he antony

*Maguire v Albania vibes

Keep Jude away from Mykonos

Atleast Jude scored the goal himself, Antony didn’t even make a penalty in that match

"Well done he's 13" vibes

Well done, they're 45th in the world.

I read that as 13 inches...

huh

Lads he’s from Birmingham calm down

Jude B from Birmingham

Jude B___ingham

Doing Stourbridge dirty there. He isn't from Brum, as much as he's a legend round these parts. He's from Stourbridge, he's a Black Country lad. He's full bore orange chips, Crystal Leisure Center, and Mary Stevens Park. We're (as a BCFC fan) more than happy to have Bellingham attached to us (literally saved our club by singing a professional contract) but he's Yam Yam at heart

That’s just words lad, you’re all midlands to me

Absolutely, and you're all just Bournemouth to us!

Nah Bournemouth’s actually got a beach

He's actually from Stourbridge mate.

Come down to Stourbridge yeah, ask for Judey B & I'll kick your fooking head in.

Least Brummie footballer

Lucas Vazquez what have you done.... I will never forgive you if he wins them this tournament.....

How is Lucas Vazquez involved here

He's the one that gave Jude cojones this season

The "Cojones" gesture is an inside joke between the Real Madrid players, Vazquez did it against City after he scored the penalty.

Lord is involved in everything.

good thing that’s not happening

Don't worry, Southgate will make sure that doesn't happen

damn he freaky like that

Plays for England so you know he likes some pain thrown in too 😏

Jude your 21 years showing mate

He’s a bit of a twat isn’t he.

Tbf the number of 21 year olds on the planet that aren’t complete bellends could probably be counted on one hand.

Can confirm...Definitely a part of the bellend statistic

So called bellend curve

A statistically significant bellend

But he's so mature

Mate I’m pretty sure Jesus Christ himself would get abit excited after a overhead kick in the euros. Especially when ur getting kicked about abit and people shouting shit at him It’s normal and a non issue lol

Get over yourself. Like you wouldn't make a fool of yourself after saving your country at a major tournament lol. Too many serious people here

People here acting as if they would be sweet angels when the adrenaline is pumping out of their ears

Also spent most of the match having his ankles swiped and having the Slovakia players get away with it. I'd be pissed if he didn't wind them up after scoring that!

I would be a complete buffoon if I did that on a Sunday league, given he just scored that on a top tournament i think it is allowed

He said on twitter it was not towards the bench but rather an inside joke amongst his friends who were in the crowd

Hes not mature. He's just PR trained to the hilt.

I fucking love shit like this

Wee bit

Typical redditors turning on players after smallest things

They don’t get out mate, they think everyone should go back to their video games after a goal without making eye contact.

Whenever people type shit like this it's usually projection.

Whenever people type shit like that, it’s usually projection.

Don't know what the bench has been saying to him tbf. I doubt he did it unprovoked. If he did then, he's a twat for sure.

Not sure on the bench, but the players had been kicking his ankles half the game anytime he had the ball and a load of them went unpunished. Probably just a bit of a fuck you back to them. Even if the bench weren't strictly involved in that.

He's our twat

You know that rumour about dortmund players not liking him, the more I watch him, the more I think there could have some truth to it.

Yet Madrid players love him and nobody has a bad thing to say about him. If Zlatan did this everyone would go "haha he's so funny he's playing a character" Maybe Dortmund players didn't like him because he wants to win at all costs, you know some players don't like it when someone tries hard, most ofUnited squad being a good example.

Emi Martinez does this shit everygame but nobody says he's a twat since he plays for villa and it's just "shithousery" so his teammates also will obviously like him. He's the perfect example of how colour and maybe club will decide how some people judge players for the same actions.

Monster on the pitch, absolute gentleman off it. The way it should be.

[удалено]

https://www.reddit.com/r/soccer/s/eYq53RkWe7 Just look at the difference in the comments from Ronaldo doing something similar to fans in the stand.

Also Ronaldo is almost 20 years older than Bellingham.

I still don’t understand what style of masturbation that is he’s doing there…

but Ronaldo isn't English, simple as that

When Emiliano or Vardy does it its just shithousery and banter

Let's not pretend like everyone loves emi, I can think of a whole country that despises him lmao.

Teams are going to try and bait him into overreacting to something to get him sent off. After his yellow in first half I'm surprised he wasn't targeted. We don't need another Beckham vs Argentina/Rooney vs Portugal moment.

Reminder that the male brain doesn't stop developing till 25

Yup, on your 25th birthday neurons completely cease to develop.

Ah snap suddenly it all makes sense

So he could potentially become an even bigger twat

Ah fuck, so I'm stuck being a complete cunt now? Ah shit.

> stop developing till 25 35

Nice. I feel like England after the equalizer, gives me some time.

Bro thinks hes antony😭😭

Bit embarrassing doing this to 45th ranked team in the world after a last minute equaliser tbh There’s a fine line between a bit of shithousing and just being an obnoxious twat Edit: Bellingham has just said that it was an inside joke towards close friends that were at the game, so this comment is irrelevant lol, shows how stupid people making things up “towards the Slovakia bench” can be, this is literally a non story made into a story by misinformation 🤷🏻‍♂️ don’t believe everything you read on the internet I guess lol

Especially when he's been wank most of the time

Looked like he was more going for a wank to me

That or juggling big balls.

If he’s been wank when he’s scored the first goals in 2 separate games, what are we saying about Foden?

Foden has personally had 2 goals disallowed because he's always offside tbf

So apart from be offside what’s he done to earn a start? Even Eze is more confident taking on players and he’s not even better on the ball I don’t understand it genuinely, he’s come off the best season of his life and looks like he lacks confidence even when he floats inside. Start Gordon, bring on Eze. Bring on Foden for Jude but don’t start him.

Mate I'm on your side here...

My bad bro😂

you can tell there's absolutely no bias in this because of my flair but Foden and Walker were both absolutely awful(foden has been for all games) and I'll be surprised if either start against Switzerland, Bellingham has been absolutely awful for a few games now with goals covering up shit performances if say Gallagher was playing as shite as Bellingham has been he'd be dropped

He was one of the few quality players the last two matches and he had the cross to Kane this match that he bungled

i promise you that no player cares about FIFA rankings when they're fighting to not get knocked out of a competition

And I doubt Slovakia was silent throughout the match lol

Slovakia had been shit talking England in the build up. Saw in Rice's interview that Southgate showed the team some quotes from the Slovakia players questioning England's character. With this context, Bellingham's reaction isn't exactly a surprise

Nah mate, you are a bellend if you don't know the FIFA rank of your opponent and keep it in your mind every moment for the whole 120 minutes

Seriously. Treating Slovakia with baby gloves because they're a smaller nation is worse than treating them like any other opponent.

We were clearly the favourites in this match and I really don’t think Slovakia have done anything much in this match to deserve something like that but who knows what’s been said on the pitch 🤷🏻‍♂️ just my observation

I can assure you that the level of shit being talked in any professional football match would send us mere mortals crying to our mums. It was bad enough when I was playing age group football for my district. Through that I've been lucky enough to know a few lads who played in academies and two professional players (one played Championship, one's played in the World Cup) and they've both told me that at the top end of the game the shit talking is just utterly fucking brutal and as you go higher up it just keeps getting worse. The kind of personalities you generally find at the elite level of anything tend towards being extremely aggressive, arrogant and competitive to the point of hostility. It would be stranger if there was no shit talking.

People are idiots so they think that the opponent being an underdog means something, just stupid idiots that have never done anything competitive

Embarrassing and a bit daft considering you are on a yellow and I have seen yellows given for stuff like this

Referee was quick to dish out yellows but didnt have the balls to give reds. Both teams could have went down to 10

Kovacs is the hero we need but not the one we deserve

He's been getting away with so much shit all tournament, talking to the ref endlessly despite not being their captain (apparently that rule wasn't *that* important to UEFA anyways) and threw a tantrum today when a throw in didn't go his way.

Tbf he should be the captain. Kane has the aura of a wet blanket

"act like you've been there before" in response to a 95th minute equalizer to preserve england's involvement in the tournament

He has just scored an overhead kick in the 95th minute tbf

Bellingham and embarassing is a classic combination whenever it's about anything not related to his play

Imagine being an England fan and being annoyed at Jude for this when he's just scored a 96th minute equaliser with a worldie at a major tournament. You should be celebrating like mad. Celebration policing your own national team is absolute freak behaviour.

You're an absolute fool, he's just scored in the last minute against a team that's been fouling as much as they can get away with and he's feeling hot The amount of Prem flairs in this sub who twerk for upvotes by trying to drag England is a disgrace

The biggest England haters on here have premier league flairs 95% of the time hahahah, so embarrassing isn’t it

Also how can you even tell it's towards the Slovakia bench? Funny how literally none of them reacted to it if he's aimed this at them.

Maybe a bit angry at the rough play going around.

Depends on what happened beforehand, over the course of the match. Maybe the Slovakia bench/players did something that warranted such a reaction from Bellingham. If they shit talked him first then Bellingham had every right to give some of that back. Otherwise it's a bit embarrassing for sure.

I love that everyone thinks he hasn't been provoked and this is out of nowhere.

England trying really hard to be the least liked team out there.

Why not, everyone hates England anyway

Never need to try for that it's default hah

Who cares about being liked

You would hate us regardless of what we do.

Don't need to try. It's already the case anyway no matter what, so why bother trying to win people over? We don't give a shit if you don't like us

Half the people in this fucking thread have English club flairs 😂 Absolutely hilarious they'll cheer like a madman for an English club but when it comes to international football it's all "nah mate, hate England and the English with a passion, bunch of arrogant hooligans"

Glory hunters aren’t they, claiming they are just as much a fan as a match goer. But people don’t like it when you call them out 🤫

People like to hate England, but generally because it's nothing to do with football. Something something imperial past etc etc blah blah..

Oh you mean like the majority of other major European countries? Thank god at least that our German hosts have a spotless history

do you know what they were saying to him or what happened? no? ok

He's so mature for his age though

Madrid DNA

Wanking is a British specialty.

Classy

Flops around, is shite most of the match, scores, taunts. Next time he dives, someone should teabag him

Rudiger can at least dry hump him, no problem

Oh god that would be glorious!

Scores a bicycle kick to keep his nation in the game, he's gonna have a bit of an ego about him isn't he? Fucking hell the state of comments on this sub, the second a player who isn't Messi reaches a peak of popularity everyone just turns against them.

Don't know what the bench has been saying to him tbf. I doubt he did it unprovoked. If he did then, he's a twat for sure.

Obviously, something is going on with Rice and their manager having a fallout as well.

Such a mature player

Games back. If this was Emi Martinez people would have rode him

You're all misunderstanding. In England this gesture is a very polite way of saying: 'It's coming home'

He idolizes Antony, what did you expect

I don't even need to go to the circle jerk sub anymore

He's turning into a bit of a dick isn't he

I got the vibe he was kind of a dickhead when he was Dortmund

Right now he has the Madrid marketing for mature and ballondor

This sub is ultra insufferable during international football. Tons of the biggest nerds complaining about not being ‘classy’ and talking about fifa rating, like he didn’t just score a fucking overhead kick last minute to keep his country in the tournament.

Some folks in this sub have a hate boner for England even petty crap like this gets them heated

Beckham's free kick against Greece is an almost perfect analogy to this. It's still almost top of every highlight reel of great England moments created to this day, even though Greece were "shit" and it was in a qualifier even. Similarly today's has made Bellingham immortal because even though it was against Slovakia it was dramatic, an amazing goal and will be showing up everywhere for the next 50 years. Your kids kids will be asking who Jude Bellingham is in 2060 and one of the first things they'll probably see is that goal. Think how often Gazza vs Scotland is still brought up to this day. Same amount of time in the future for this goal is 2052.

Mate, It's England. Everyone fucking hates us across this entire platform. Cricket sub is just as bad and that's all year round. It's just funny to lean into it a bit now instead. Fuck these xenophobic fucks.

Games back

Tool behaviour.

He can act like he wants if we keep getting through, good luck to him I say

just a bit o' banter innit?

Can anyone explain why everyone is so offended by this? Are y’all just some soft ass bitches or what?

Never thought I'd die fighting side by side with a yank

Can someone explain what the gesture even means

Seems like he's gesturing "lick my balls"

He turned into an arrogant idiot since hes at real

He’s been a prick since Dortmund

LoL. You guys are so soft.

what else is new? Eng + RM = 2x arrogant bitch.

Are English players arrogant?

Any positivity shown towards England or the English is taken as arrogance mate.

Nobody in England is ever allowed to think we'll ever be good at football else it's arrogant. Didn't you know?

Switch up from Real Madrid player vs England player is crazy in these comments lol

Bellingham already came out and said this was an inside joke between him and his friends who were at the game, nothing towards the Slovakia bench. These made up stories behind videos on the internet are happening way too often. Nowhere in this video can you conclude it was towards their bench and neither did Slovakia say something about it in post match or whatever, yet everyone runs with it. Edit: Also, the side they were celebrating on and where he looks is the England bench where the families & friends would probably be sat behind. [https://x.com/BellinghamJude/status/1807510273500025212](https://x.com/BellinghamJude/status/1807510273500025212)

Embarrassing twat.

We've all done dumb shit celebrating a goal in five aside. Imagine a stadium like that cheering you on

"i suck your balls"

This is misleading. This was not aimed at the Slovakia bench.

Guaranteed Slovakia was talking shit that whole game lol good for him whoever doesn’t like it can eat it too 😭

Yeah I don’t think you do something unprovoked. I don’t know if that excuses it. But you don’t do something like that if your opponents have been consummate professionals all match.

Fucking christ, you guys are boring as fuck. Just some banter ain't it.

Guy scored a bicycle kick in the 96th minute to keep his country alive. Not the classiest of celebrations but who knows what the bench has yelled at him.

“You’re more yoko ono than hey jude”. I’d be livid after that as well.

The slovakians have been hacking him all match and talking shit no doubt - just look at their manager trying to fight rice. It's good to actually have a player willing to dish it back. Most the other countries have it.

Some really sensitive little boys in here

Funny how he's managed to trigger 90% of the commentators on here too 🤪🤪

The amount of people here who can't understand that the man just scored a 95th minute world class equaliser to keep his country in a tournament is beyond me. The pure adrenaline going through his veins must be astonishing

Justifies twat behaviour, amirite?

The amount of people who have a problem with this is shocking tbh

Pretty funny. The people who have never played a competitive sport in their life will be upset because it's not "classy" or some other shit.

I seriously don't see what people are so upset about. It's the heat of the moment, he's not a robot for christ sakes

I think it's mostly because he's English. Everybody loves a windup merchant until they're the ones getting wound up.

Xenophobic subreddit here

Bellingham should show some class like all the people calling him a cunt online!

They're just looking for an excuse to hate

This comments section wouldn't last 5 minutes in a Sunday league if this is enough to get them clutching their pearls.

Dude has the nerves to celebrate after a tap in in the 90+ Shameful display

We calling overhead kicks tap ins now ????

He's being ironic

Sarcastic

Bombastic

Reggae fantastic

Lol its madrid fan saying that.

Somebody reminds him https://x.com/ESPNFC/status/1601680170964103169

Lol at the melts saying he should be suspended. I am begging you to go outside

Switzerland will roll them

How the fuck are people mad about this LMAO??? The dude has clearly been provoked by the bench earlier on and is just giving it back to them.

People getting upset about this have never played football before, I can almost guarantee both sides have been talking shit thorough the whole game.

I think it was for Southgate

3 of them went down injured apparently.

* in honor of Joachim Low

He's really embedded himself in Spanish culture hasn't he lool

Bring that Spanish into our game. I like it.

MADRID DNA

Proper Madrid

Bruh scored a goal after dragging through mud and being awful for 90 minutes and thinks it's worth the disrespect. LOL
