England's 2026 World Cup Progress and Jobe Bellingham's Dortmund Debut
Jobe Bellingham, the 20‑year‑old brother of England midfielder Jude Bellingham, signed for Borussia Dortmund in 2025 and chose to display only his first name on his shirt. He scored on his first start for the German club, emphasizing his desire to build a career separate from his elder sibling.
At the 2026 FIFA World Cup, England moved past the round of 16 with a 2‑1 victory over Mexico, thanks to two goals from Jude Bellingham and a strike from Harry Kane. Manager Thomas Tuchel admitted the win was “sloppy” but highlighted the team's resilience. The result took England into the semi‑finals, where they will face Argentina, marking the tournament’s first true test for the Three Lions.
