When England have been down, Jude Bellingham has come to the rescue.
That was already the case before this World Cup, but in North America he has seized this role as talisman and utterly thrived.
As vital to England as Lionel Messi is to semi-final opponents Argentina, Bellingham has six goals at this World Cup. No midfielder has ever scored more at one World Cup, while only Pele was younger when scoring two or more goals in successive knockout games.
Against Mexico and then Norway, Bellingham carried England into the last four, and the Real Madrid midfielder is not done yet.
Ahead of a semi-final for the ages, get to know the key influences behind the boy from Stourbridge who hopes to conquer the world.
