Jude Bellingham slaps Argentina star after England exit World Cup

England's FIFA World Cup 2026 semi-final defeat to Argentina ended in dramatic fashion, but it was a moment after the final whistle that has sparked a new debate among fans.

England and Argentina fans were seen confronting each other after the full time whistle before armed police made multiple arrests.

Last Saturday, July 11, England midfielder Jude Bellingham stood on the field and gazed up at the crowd as they showered him with The Beatles' "Hey Jude." England had just beaten Norway behind Bellingham's brace to advance to the semifinal — one step closer to winning the 2026 FIFA men's World Cup and bringing it home for the first time since 1966.

England led, but Messi orchestrated Argentina's dramatic 2-1 comeback.
