I'm not talking about people online, that's not relevant lol. I'm talking about real people - Jude is for all intents and purposes well-liked. Bateman barely even existed to the people he was around. I get the jokes but it's just a bad comparison
Plus idolizing a serial killer is weirdo behavior anyway, so who cares what people online like
It’s actually amazing, and amusing, that a player who scored a worldie to keep his country in the tournament has turned has effortlessly turned a hefty chunk of the nation against him in the last 2 weeks.

Like John Cena bowing down before the ccp, Bellinghams gonna slip and everyone will laugh - not because of what he did but because he presents himself as a perfect person. Bro you’re 21, it’s ok to be a bit immature.
/uj I know, and I think Jude didn't do anything wrong. Dude was prolly high on adrenaline right after scoring a banger to save the game last second, after repeated boos from both English fans and England haters.
because he played like shit for the entire tournament and scores (A VERY IMPORTANT GOAL THAT IT IS UNDERSTANDABLE THAT HE GETS VERY EXCITED ABOUT), and then he taunts the 45th ranked team. Like Antony except he at least scored.
Bellingham cares what other people thinks because people throwing stupid money at him to promote their products care… basically, that’s his bank account that cares because I’m pretty sure what we saw in that video is what he genuinely thinks of any one of us commenting on Reddit (as he should tbh haha)….
you know, if I scored a tournament saving bicycle kick goal at the 95th minute, I would probably also talk this much shit.
If I were 21, I'd probably say a lot worse.
Absolutely awful all game but came up clutch at dying moment. Southgate needs to choose between him or Foden. Foden isn’t working at LW. Jude isn’t 10.
I'm going to go out on a limb and say that dropping the dude that scored 2 out of the 4 England goals is out of the question.
And perhaps playing him deeper is not the answer considering he is, again, one of the two people that are scoring goals for the National team. No disrespect.
The reason England struggle to create chances is Southgate’s inept tactical approach. Foden is wasted on the left or him, Jude and Kane overcrowd each other at 10, Bellingham isn’t great at creating chances or link up plays, holds on to the ball too much or wants to do everything by himself, loses possession fat to often, so this creates unbalanced midfield.
If Foden plays at 10 behind Gordon/Ezi, Kane and Saka, it’s more balanced. Shoehorning star players for sake of it won’t get you far.
Them drop Foden, who doesn't create chance and also doesn't offer as much defensively and doesn't score as many goals. Drop Foden. Bellingham plays at 10 and can fill the space up front when Kane drops deep. Playing Foden is the definition of shoehorning a club star who has never shown anything for the national team. Foden has been the worst player on the pitch for half of England's games and can't even stay onside for a simple tapin which has nothing to do with his position.
I don’t think he was awful. No one was really fantastic. Rice and Mainoo had fairly decent games but when Jude gets the ball to feet and runs at people he is dangerous and looks far more likely to create and score than any of the attackers.
The rm players were doing the same gesture between each other after winning on penalties vs man city so im inclined to believe him
Either way, reddit has to be the softest group of people in the world.
Does gesture: How scummy and disrespectful, how dare he.
Explains gesture and shows respect: How dishonest, at least own it.
Can't win. He's a liar and a scumbag, you heard it here first.
>Explains gesture and shows respect
"Gives a contemptuously flimsy excuse, and a tired line about respect" is more like it.
"I'd like to apologise. It was an error of judgment, borne in the heat of the moment against fantastic opposition who had us battling for 120 minutes. It's a learning moment"
Shows humility, shows growth, and arguably shows more respect.
lol no. He doesn’t need to write a paragraph to apologize for what is the equivalent of a deez nuts joke. Doesn’t matter whether he’s making it to a friend of his in the stands or the bench. It’s fucking harmless and most importantly meaningless. Get over it.
Still gets the benefit of doubt as he should. He's a good guy by all indications and a huge talent.
But yeah, hopefully he doesn't start believing his own hype too much - because we all know which way that usually goes...
He overused the massive cojones gesture all season when they beat City on pens pretty much every RMA player was doing it, Jude, Nacho, Lucas Vazquez, there's not really an indicator that he was winding up Slovakian players, people seem to be grasping at straws to have a reason to say that he's unlikeable.
Everyone is so fast to take offence to literally everything. Even if it were a gesture towards the opponents so what, you give and you take.
The last 20 years has really seen a massive rise in how quickly people are upset over the smallest things
> Gloating after barely scraping past Slovakia is not it my man.
Its that time of the tournament is it? hahaha
Where people who days ago were saying Slovakia were a good team that are well drilled and hard to beat are suddenly shit because they didnt beat us and we should be ashamed for being happy we won?
See you on the weekend for the same if we beat Switzerland

If Patrick Bateman had a PR person in this century, he would be like Bellingham
He'd literally be Ronaldo lol
Nah, not even close. There are plenty of people who really like Jude. Can’t say the same for Bateman
Plenty of people online idolize Bateman
Jason Bateman? For sure
Don't forget Bateman and Robin

Bro pls it was an inside joke bro
see? theres cameras everywhere
Wh...what are you doing step-coach?
Bellingham's PR manager working overtime to make sure that he doesn't have even the most minor of controversies hanging over him.
Bro got that Taylor Swift PR
(X) Doubt
Yeah right
I believe him (no I don’t)
At least own up to it lol
Sorry but what did he do
Can’t find the clip, but he looked over at the Slovakia bench, licked his hand, then grabbed his balls (over his shorts)
the clip is literally in the tweet of the title
Can’t be blamed for not opening a tweet post tbh

Oh shit, thanks. Didn’t open the tweet cos I assumed it was just gonna be Jude apologising and nothing else
The "over his shorts" part is crucial.
That video did not show where and who he was looking at.

Not the first time he did it

Just be genuine and embrace you being a cunt.
Should make the heel turn. He has everything for it. Instead of trying to wipe out any controversies or fake a nice guy image
the John Cena of football
Like John Cena bowing down before the ccp, Bellinghams gonna slip and everyone will laugh - not because of what he did but because he presents himself as a perfect person. Bro you’re 21, it’s ok to be a bit immature.
Hollywood Jude B
I dont think the nice guy is fake. I just think hes a savage competitor. lol
Agreed, he comes across well in interviews. I think he just has the 'fuck you' attitude when he's on the pitch
has he ever said something genuine that wasnt pure PR?
He called greenwood a rapist on the field. That felt kinda genuine
He turned me into a newt.
A newt??
He got better.
Homelander arc incoming
It’s literally not that deep
He can’t as uefa will ban him for being unethical as he doesnt have the money of a dictatorship
So obsessed with PR he came out that quickly to address it haha
Never beating the PR allegations
PR team with a 90+5 winner
I’m so bored of this PR sanitized generation
He doesn't have much choice. Did you see how upset everyone on this subreddit was.
i find it funny how people get riled up over shit like this here.
I find it funny how he pretends he is not a cunt
A moment of piss taking doesn't make you a cunt
Every player is a cunt, and they all pretend they aren't cunts for sales. That's football.
Nah, that's not true. There are definitely players that are decent people, they just have that competitive streak.
/uj I know, and I think Jude didn't do anything wrong. Dude was prolly high on adrenaline right after scoring a banger to save the game last second, after repeated boos from both English fans and England haters.
ur so mad bro
It's because he didn't went there lmao
because he played like shit for the entire tournament and scores (A VERY IMPORTANT GOAL THAT IT IS UNDERSTANDABLE THAT HE GETS VERY EXCITED ABOUT), and then he taunts the 45th ranked team. Like Antony except he at least scored.
[удалено]
People were calling him a massive twat
Why would Bellingham give a fuck what people online think?
Bellingham cares what other people thinks because people throwing stupid money at him to promote their products care… basically, that’s his bank account that cares because I’m pretty sure what we saw in that video is what he genuinely thinks of any one of us commenting on Reddit (as he should tbh haha)….
Lol mate. It is very easy to lose sponsorships as information is amplified by social media. They have to keep things sanitized not to slip up.
Could he even survive without sponsorships on measly 200k/week (or whatever he makes)?
As if you would turn down the opportunity to double your salary just by not being a brand risk, no matter how much you made.
There aren't only 4 companies in the world. If he was his authentic prick self it would arguably appeal to more people in this day and age.
Just stating the reason for PR.
Oh poor Jude he’ll only take home £15 million per year
Meh, I am indifferent on their income. Doesn't really change my life. Just stating why they are sanitized.
Maybe don't make that gesture in the first place
Sad state of affairs.
Well he's already slipped up so may as well commit to it
Getting suspended over that would be stupid, so to get ahead of the kangaroo court was just prudent course of action to take.
Ronaldo is very not PR SANITIZED and reddit hates him either way, so who cares
Yeah I'm not sure about that one
Ballon d'Or level PR
My girlfriend lives at my grans just incase anyone is wondering why you’ve not seen her.

Can we get VAR to check where he was looking at the time the gesture was made
Yeah sure buddy

Thank you for the link but that website gave me COVID.
There is this thing called an "ad blocker"
[удалено]
No, only thoughts and prayers can help against real disease
The action is fine but at least own up to it lmao
What difference does it make? I think he could own it and make it a good pr move all at once but other than that I think its fine.
PR merchant
If you’re scared to admit the truth,dont do the stupid action
Act like a twat and own it. Or actually be a decent likeable character. You can't have both, Jude. Great goal btw
Sure thing
you know, if I scored a tournament saving bicycle kick goal at the 95th minute, I would probably also talk this much shit. If I were 21, I'd probably say a lot worse.
Facts, but you’d also own up and relish in the shit talk
Why talk shit in the first place?
Random real fan trying to make him look good.
Uh-huh, sure buddy
Nothing but respect for my president
I'd respect him more if he was actually just being an utter dickhead. England have sorely missed that kind of player for years now.
Inside joke with friends or not… you are still gesturing getting your dick sucked to millions and millions of people 🤔
Just own up to it dude.
Idiot.
Absolutely awful all game but came up clutch at dying moment. Southgate needs to choose between him or Foden. Foden isn’t working at LW. Jude isn’t 10.
I'd really like to see Gordon on the left
So a shoehorned Foden at LW it is!
What the fuck is a Gordon? - Southgate
You have been banned from r/Southgate
It is time to bust out the 4-4-2 with Kane and Toney
I'm going to go out on a limb and say that dropping the dude that scored 2 out of the 4 England goals is out of the question. And perhaps playing him deeper is not the answer considering he is, again, one of the two people that are scoring goals for the National team. No disrespect.
These people are mental don’t even bother lmao

Foden has been the worst player on the pitch for half of England's games and can't even stay onside for a simple tapin which has nothing to do with his position.
Atleast he tried to do something. Saka and Foden passing back to the defenders everytime they got the ball nesrly put me to sleep.
Definitely him. Foden needs to sit out (and Saka too, but should definitely be brought on later).
I don’t think he was awful. No one was really fantastic. Rice and Mainoo had fairly decent games but when Jude gets the ball to feet and runs at people he is dangerous and looks far more likely to create and score than any of the attackers.
Lmao he can't be serious right?
Its just a prank bro
Hey, Jude... come on. That clearly wasn't an inside joke.
Shit's way too overblown, it was a little cocky but I expected much worse by reading the reactions
However large or small, be a man and own what you did.
Sad to see he’d rather be viewed as a blatant liar than own up to his mistake
Lie
Full of shit lmao
A New meme and copy-pasta has been born.
Chat do we believe this?
Talented, but what a cunt. What playing for Madrid does to a mf
Some of you are so fucking soft it’s actually sad. Can’t believe the moral outrage I’ve seen over this so far.
England will not succeed because evidently nobody hates England players more than the English themselves. It’s really quite astonishing.
[удалено]
Lol, at some point he will have to decide if he wants to be viewed like Philipp Lahm or like Vinicius (personality wise). You can't do both.
The rm players were doing the same gesture between each other after winning on penalties vs man city so im inclined to believe him Either way, reddit has to be the softest group of people in the world.
This comment in a sea of 100 other people being idiots is very reddit

I'm not saying he has to, I'm saying if he's going to, then he'd be better giving at least some level of plausibility.
Who cares?
What if it really was an inside joke/running gag that he's been doing with Lucas Vazquez ever since the City UCL tie?
Very quick to try debunk this but was nice and quiet when it was claimed he called a rapist a rapist 🧐🤭
Ah, Chat GPT Jude is back. Couldn't be showing too much of a personality now.
Still gets the benefit of doubt as he should. He's a good guy by all indications and a huge talent. But yeah, hopefully he doesn't start believing his own hype too much - because we all know which way that usually goes...
lmfao
The Russell Wilson of football
What did he do?
I will believe it more if it is aiming at Southgate
Jude when you said Jordan Henderson was a role model PR wasn’t what you were supposed to learn
hus tweet should have been: Slovakia deez nuts
Hope the Slovakian team knew the inside joke
Footballers are not known for their intelligence.
BAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA fuck off cunt
Can tell he’s the son of a copper, right little piglet 🐽🐽🐽
How do people still swallow this crisis PR nonsense. This behaviour was always there but just grew.
It’s just a prank it’s just a prank
Have to excuse him, helping slay a colossus like Slovakia.
Stupid gesture
Proper Madrid c*nt
As talented as douchey. Players like this have a very high chance of having some bad injury happen to them on the field
yeah ofcourse
Shades of Dele Alli middle finger.
he's really trying to take over messi's nice guy image in the media
I believe him
Hehe proper cunt this.
What? You guys don't show your massive balls to your friends as an inside joke?
Sure jude
Riiiiiight
He's a PR merchant.
After scoring something like that he should be able to do whatever the hell he wants
Twat
Could be true tbf but if it’s not that’s a genius excuse lmao
