That was among England’s most significant, gutsy and surreal performance in generations.
The venue, the context, the in-game circumstances. Jude Bellingham was all things and the pivotal thing: decisive. Refused to lose, refused to give in, refused to wake up out of the World Cup.
Jordan Pickford immense, Anthony Gordon so important, especially as an outlet, and Dan Burn was crucial in closing out the win. They were ceaseless.
Heroic backs against the wall performance by 10 men England in an incredibly hostile atmosphere to beat Mexico 3-2 in their own back yard at the World Cup. And considering the circumstances, it is one of the greatest ever England victories in the World Cup.

🤣🤣 those fans were just delusional! Bellingham has been England’s best player this match by far! Playing as a defender, midfielder AND striker! 🔥🔥 #MEXENG
@BaykusCharts It’s a shame when I watch videos like this….and black women continue to be ignored in these conversations. There’s plenty of black women that could have been included here….e.g. nia long, Gabrielle Union and Halle berry….
Thing is, we have collectively decided she’s a legend & there’s no amount of hate that will change that. Also, importantly, it’s not about numbers of albums, it’s about impact. She did all that off 2 Fugee albums + 1 studio & 1 live solo album, THAT is what makes her a legend lol
