This has never been about tough love, proving people wrong or setting the record straight. Instead, it is simply Jude Bellingham showing that he is one of the best footballers in the world.
His latest heroics were against Norway when he dug deep, scored twice and single-handedly dragged England into the World Cup semi-finals. He is the reason why England have made it this far.
It was another brilliant performance from a stylish, classy and supremely talented player who stands tall in every sense. Majestic, elegant and beautiful. What a joy to watch him play.
Bellingham has been England’s standout performer in this World Cup as he has won the Man of the Match award in four of his six of his games. That is some achievement.
