Sport argentina england world cup
People reckon this hilarious exchange between Jude Bellingham and Lionel Messi was the moment England’s World Cup fate was sealed
As no-one anywhere needs reminding, England are out of the World Cup after suffering a heartbreaking 2-1 semi-final defeat to Argentina.
Lionel Messi didn’t score but he was instrumental in setting up both of Argentina’s goals in an out of this world second half display.
And people reckon it was this magnificent first half exchange between Messi and England’s very own titan Jude Bellingham that was the moment that England’s fate was sealed.
He woke the beast

Just in case you wondered what they were talking about …
🚨🎙️Messi & Bellingham after the World Cup final:

Bellingham: “No, there was no foul.”
Messi: “ He hit me in the head.”
Bellingham: “No foul.”
Messi: “Alright.” 🤌🏻 pic.twitter.com/thRck1krpL

And it was the final expression on Messi’s face, of course, that really caught people’s imagination, with just a few of the things they were saying about it this morning.

Bellingham provoked Messi and didn't rush to beg when he saw Messi nodding his head at the end.
He who provokes the gods will cry at the end… LMAO. pic.twitter.com/TZbywFsGe8
