Jude Bellingham is levitating on the pitches in North America at the moment, and there is nothing anyone can do to stop him.
The Real Madrid superstar has already shown how much he is worth in the current World Cup, and silenced all his haters in one go.
Bellingham has been one of the very best players in the continent, and alongside Harry Kane, has been, at the very least, a joint-best player for England, and the difference between those two and the rest of the pack is not even close.
These are the sorts of games that remind people how much his value is, and how he shines the brightest when he is trying to mimic the floodlights. The bigger the game, the better Bellingham plays, and if it weren't true enough for his performances in an England shirt, it is now.
Jude Bellingham has ended a World Cup debate that should've never even existed
In fact, everyone remembers the age-old debate. Who should play as the attacking midfielder for England in the World Cup. Is it Morgan Rogers or Jude Bellingham? As good as Rogers was last season, and the way that he played for not only Aston Villa, but also England all year round, the answer was always obvious.
Bellingham has always been the better player among the two. He has always pulled the most amount of bodies closer to him. He has always had the upper hand when it comes to decisive moments. He has always been the more complete player as well.
All of this is not meant as disrespect to Rogers, but just the appreciation for Bellingham. This is the World Cup, and you have to play your best players in their best positions. People talked about it being a toss-up between Rogers and Bellingham, or the position being something that would cause Thomas Tuchel a headache.
Bellingham would always just about seep into the line-up, according to many of the pundits in world football, while in reality, he was always one of the very first players on the teamsheet.
We are talking about a player who carried Real Madrid on his back on their way to a La Liga title just two years ago, when he was 21. This is a player who has almost always impressed in the big moments for club and country, regardless of form.
Bellingham is a game-changer. His level increases in crucial moments, and because of that and so many above-mentioned things, it was never truly a debate. For those who think it was, they probably never actually watched him play outside of the big Champions League games.
Bellingham is a special player, and he has been doing this for ages - it is time he gets his flowers as a top-two English player in the world.
