England manager Thomas Touchel dropped the bomb on Friday afternoon after it was confirmed that Real Madrid Superstar and three Lions Talisman Jude Bellingham were not making his team.
The decision to rule out Jude Bellingham is a critical moment for Thomas Touchel. And you’ll dress it up and rule out your best players and generation talents is the wrong choice.
Bellingham, 22, is a British superstar and an absolute star for last year’s Euro amulet. It’s a big mistake to rule him out. It also caused more problems than necessary. You alienate him too. It’s a very bad move.
Without his final gasp leveler against him and Slovakia, Britain would not reach the final, but would return home in the final 16 stages. If England goes to the World Cup without Bellingham next summer, they won’t have a chance to win the trophy.
There is absolutely no chance.
Let’s be clear… England has some great players. Bukayosaka. Harry Kane is very prolific. Declan rice. The rest are good players. Very good player. But Bellingham takes the team and team to another level.

Without him, the UK would be on the next level teams, such as Spain and Argentina. Candidate. But it’s not my favorite.
Bellingham has only started one Real Madrid game since returning from injury and shoulder surgery in the summer. But if he played the same minutes for Bayern Munich, do you think Kane would really be ruled out? Of course it’s not.
Special players need special rules and it’s up to the manager and his man-management to deal with them. England boss Tuchel naturally insisted that he needs to stick to a team that won very well in Serbia last month.
It was 5-0 from home, Morgan Rodgers was the guy in the match and an incredible performance. They set “standard” and that was how they went around it. Others need to prove themselves and come back.
However, what’s hiding in the background is the prolonged feeling of problems between the manager and the star player. It goes back to the infamous “repulsive” quote and what Tuchel’s mom is making from Bellingham’s on-pitch behavior.
Is there any problem? Has that been resolved? We don’t think we’ll know until Bellingham is called again and played for Chuchel. Until then, we’re wondering.
And until it’s dealt with, it gets festered and worse.
This concept is that England is better without Jude. Other players can step up. The story is naive, misguided and totally ridiculous.
Bellingham is England’s best player – and you always choose your best.
