Jude Bellingham just said what everyone watching England at Euro 2024 already suspected: the squad wasn’t vibing. Speaking on June 12, 2026, the Real Madrid midfielder reflected on an England side that reached the final but never truly clicked, noting the team “didn’t feel as happy as we should be” despite the run to the title match against Spain.
For crypto investors who piled into the unofficial Solana-based $JUDE token during the tournament, that lack of connection extended well beyond the dressing room. The token has since cratered roughly 98% from its all-time high of $0.00062392, turning what looked like a meme-fueled moonshot into a cautionary tale about speculative sports tokens.
A spectacular goal, a 77% pump, and then the floor fell out
Bellingham’s overhead kick against Slovakia in the round of 16 was arguably the goal of Euro 2024. When Bellingham scored that spectacular goal, the $JUDE token surged 77% in a short-lived frenzy. Then reality set in.
England ultimately lost to Spain in the final, and Bellingham himself acknowledged that the squad’s off-pitch dynamics weren’t where they needed to be.
