Jude Bellingham reflects on his clash with Lionel Messi during England’s World Cup semi-final defeat to Argentina. 🗣️ “Football is played with emotion, and in a World Cup semi-final I let that emotion get the better of me. I tried to provoke Messi because I thought it might distract him. Looking back now… it was probably the worst decision I made all night.” “We were leading 1-0 and I felt we had control. After our exchange, he didn’t argue back. He didn’t lose his temper. He just looked at me, gave a small nod and walked away. At the time I didn’t think much of it.” “But a few minutes later, I realised exactly what that nod meant.” “It was like he had accepted the challenge. Suddenly every time he touched the ball, something dangerous happened. He stopped forcing things, started controlling the tempo and made the entire game revolve around him. Then came the two assists that completely changed the match.” “I’ll never forget the moment Argentina scored their second goal. I looked over at Messi and remembered that nod. That’s when it hit me. I just stood there thinking, ‘It’s over… he’s done it again.’” “I’ve faced great players before, but I’ve never seen anyone respond to pressure like that. Most players react with anger when you provoke them. Messi reacts with football. That’s what makes him so frightening.” “I regret trying to get into his head because all I did was bring out the very best version of him. We had one foot in the World Cup final, and he ripped that dream away with two moments of pure genius.” “That nod wasn’t frustrationit was confidence. Looking back now, I think Messi already knew something the rest of us didn’t. Once he reached that level, deep down I knew England were in serious trouble.”

I WENT TO THE GAME ALONE. 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿⚽️ Here’s my experience: Because of my job, I’m lucky enough to be used to travelling by myself, so buying a single ticket and flying down to Miami didn’t feel that daunting. But I was still cautious. The 02:45 alarm call on Saturday wasn’t much fun and then I managed to miss the exit off the highway to the airport as I was singing ‘It’s Coming Home’ at the top of my voice in the car and had to rush to get through security to the gate! ☺️ I was surprised to have found a direct flight to Miami from Tulsa that got me in at 09:00, so it was an Uber to the Hyatt Place hotel at the airport who kindly let me have breakfast and get in a room at 11:00 to shower and get ready. Flawless. That’s the word I’d use for the organisation of transportation and logistics in Miami. Just flawless. A $15 Uber ride took me to the Martin Luther King train station (one of 4 pick-up points) where lines and lines of yellow school buses stood, each taking 50 or so ticketed fans the 11 miles to the game. Of course England and Norway shirts dominated, but it really felt like a carnival of football with tops from various countries and clubs to be seen here and there. And, man, was it hot!! As we jumped off the bus, in front of us hydration stations had been set up. Complete with electrolyte powder to mix with the iced water from huge tanks. And did I sweat a lot in the next 8 hours! So having downed a few litres of water it was a half mile walk to the stadium. Police everywhere, roads closed, huge energy, fantastic atmosphere. (Lots of locals stood at the end of the driveway with huge signs trying to sell their drive as a parking space for the night. What entrepreneurs!) I didn’t touch alcohol due to the heat - but the bars and food outlets were packed outside the stadium as a carnival atmosphere prevailed. Before heading to my seat I was able to meet a few Albion fans (Sam Harte, Ian Harte, Nick Blanco, Derek Chapman et al) which was brilliant. There we all were, 3500 miles from the AMEX! 💙🤍 I’d only bought a seat on Thursday and had a huge stoke of luck when I found it was bang in the middle of the England end. And what a fantastic group. Everyone introducing themselves to each other and sharing stories of the footballing summer so far. Passionate. Knowledgable. And just salt of the earth characters. As for the game? Well, the chanting was incessant, orchestrated by the England drummer and trumpeter how stood just a few rows behind me. We were together. We were united. And, call me old-fashioned, but it felt very healthy; it felt special. And I felt so lucky to be part of it. The game happened, you’ve seen it, no need for me to linger on that. But at the end there was a lad who was just in tears of joy. Must’ve been in his early 20s and it was clear how much England meant to him. He just couldn’t stop! It was pretty moving to witness. I manage to grab a couple of England jerseys on the way out (only XXXL left, but that’s what Mrs Bard asked for anyway as seems the fashion) and then it was a walk back to the buses in the oppressive heat and under the blinding floodlights of the walkways as random England chants erupted from various pockets of the 1000s of us walking from the stadium. The atmosphere was electric. It was a 90 min wait for a bus but the stewards did a great job and I was back in my hotel to watch the last few minutes of Argentina beating the Swiss in extra time. You know, I’m not a fan of FIFA, and despite football playing a huge part in my life, I was a little cynical about the World Cup in the build up. But as I left the stadium last night, the world felt a better place. It’s been an amazing tournament, but not because of the FIFA suits, but because of the fans. It occurred to me that, just for a while, because of football, division and politics has been replaced with humanity and wholesomeness. And that’s just what the world needs right now. ⚽️❤️

I am explaining this briefly because this true incident that happened in 1998 has never been shown in any newspaper or news channel due to the sensitivity of Ayodhya! This incident is depicted in the Inspector Avinash series available on Jio Cinema. On an undisclosed day in 1998, near the Sri Hanuman Gadi Temple in Ayodhya, a small monkey was sitting near a cold water machine, holding two electrical wires in its mouth as if they were fruits. The entire temple was emptied, and only the police force and bomb disposal squad were present inside with each devotee and visitor. At that time, they all watched the little monkey playing with the electrical wires as if it were a toy. The question arises: why was the temple completely empty, and what was the bomb disposal squad doing there with the police? In 1998, news spread that approximately 20 kilograms of RDX (explosive material) was coming to Ayodhya, so the Special Task Force (STF) of Uttar Pradesh was deployed. Most of the RDX was confiscated by the police on time, and no explosion occurred in Ayodhya. However, disguised as a terrorist bomb disposal squad, a person entered the ancient Hanuman Gadi Temple in Ayodhya and set a bomb in the cold water machine, setting the timer. Until the police caught and started questioning him, only one minute was left for the bomb to explode in the temple. The terrorist himself revealed this information. In the commotion, the entire police force led by Inspector Avinash Mishra, who was inside the temple, searched for the bomb. They searched every nook and corner of the temple, but nothing resembling a bomb was visible until everyone saw it. Inside the temple courtyard, near the cold water machine, a small monkey was sitting, playing with two wires in its hands and chewing on them as if cutting something. The police suspected that the bomb was fitted in that machine, so they threw bananas towards the monkey to distract it from the wires. As soon as the bananas were thrown towards the monkey, it let go of the wires and left without taking the bananas or, one could say, disappeared. Immediately, the bomb disposal squad was called, and as soon as the machine was opened, a timer-set bomb was found inside. "Sir, this bomb has already been diffused. Look, the timer stopped at 3 seconds. That small monkey saved us by cutting the wires." With great enthusiasm, the soldier from the bomb disposal squad informed them, and within a short time, the entire police force saw the little monkey on the pinnacle of Hanuman Gadi Temple, which was shaking the pinnacle's flag. You tell me, was that a small monkey or was it the devotee of Lord Hanuman conveying a message to the whole world? *It was definitely Lord Hanuman, and he was proclaiming to the entire world from the wounds of this incident that Ayodhya belongs to my Lord Shri Ram, and whenever there is any trouble, a monkey will come and protect Ayodhya.* It will not allow any harm to come to my Lord's beloved city!
