Bellingham: We Were Very Confident in the Second Half

Jude Bellingham scored a superb goal, leading England to a 4-2 victory over Croatia in the Three Lions' opening match of the 2026 World Cup qualifiers.

This win propelled England to the top of Group L, following Ghana's narrow 1-0 triumph over Panama in the other fixture.

"Especially in the second half, we really showed what we're capable of, the kind of team we want to be. We were very confident after the break, and that early goal in the second half gave us a solid foundation," Bellingham stated.
