Heart‑broken Bellingham reflects on Argentina comeback in Atlanta

Jude Bellingham stood on the pitch after the final whistle and described the semi‑final loss to Argentina as “devastating”. An early lead seemed possible when Anthony Gordon nudged England ahead, but Enzo Fernández’s equaliser in the 85th minute and Lautaro Martínez’s stoppage‑time winner erased those hopes. The 23‑year‑old said he mourned the chance to be part of the team that would finally lift the World Cup after 60 years, and he offered a sincere apology to fans who had dreamed of a final. He also reminded viewers of his strong showing in the tournament – seven goals overall, including two against Mexico and another two versus Norway.
