England is saved by Bellingham’s moment of brilliance.

After a long wait, Jude Bellingham finally fulfilled his promise to be England’s savior in a pre-tournament adidas advertisement on Sunday in Gelsenkirchen.

If we are being completely honest, the Real Madrid midfielder’s 94-minute outing against Slovakia was rather miserable: he was constantly showing signs of frustration toward referee Umut Meler, sprinting down dҽad-end paths, and lumbering in possession. His performance that night was indicative of the sickness that beset England as a squad.

However, with seconds remaining in stoppage time, Bellingham reacted fastest to a Marc Guéhi flick-on, pulling Gareth Southgate’s team back from the verge of a humiliating round-of-16 exit to Slovakia after Ivan Schranz’s opening goal in the 25th minute. The goal tied the game 1-1.

Harry Kane made history in the first minute of extra time with the game-winning header in a 2-1 victory, following Bellingham’s goal in the fifth minute of stoppage time. Cole Palmer, Eberechi Eze, and Ivan Toney combined to assist Kane.

The front four of England—Kane, Bellingham, Bukayo Saka, and Phil Foden—have been so lackluster thus far, but Bellingham’s flash of brilliance is exactly why many picked them as pre-tournament favorites: Southgate has an abundance of players at his disposal who can define games.

“Who else?” Bellingham seemed to mouth as he celebrated his equalizer. He seemed to have known all along.

In their quarterfinal match against Switzerland on Saturday, England must perform as a team, but if they hope to go far in Euro 2024, they will need Bellingham to be at the top of her game.
