Bellingham bicycle kick. Or, maybe you want to call it an overhead kick. Whatever you call it is a goal for history for England. And in the 95 minute no less. England fans will be singing “Hey Jude” after his amazing bicycle goal.
Can England now go on and win the game versus Slovakia? Furthermore, can England go on and win the entire Euro tournament? Perhaps. Their confidence would be overflowing. To score at the death and give your team life again can boost you to win more games, certainly.
I’m very happy for Bellingham. The British press would have tried to destroy him. He hasn’t been at his most confident best in the 2014 Euros so far. But that could be in large part to just being tired from all the Spanish league and Champions League games he’s played in this past season.
Moreover, the pressure the English team is under in general. Also, it doesn’t help when the team plays so cautiously from the start. This goal could unlock the team and help them play with more freedom.

Jude Bellingham is what you call a clutch player for his team. Something out of nothing. The Bellingham bicycle kick video is below. Take a look at the Bellingham bike.

England didn’t quit though. Cole Palmer coming on is a big part of changing the spirit of the team. Palmer is always looking forward and trying to create chances.
Overall, as a team, England have to try to go at players and try new things. Palmer and Kobbie Mainoo have been among their best players. Gareth Southgate should play more of the young players at the start.
If Bellingham doesn’t connect on the overhead kick the Declan Rice shot that hit the post would have haunted England.
Also, Bellingham bicycle kick won’t be a goal forgotten if England can go far in or win the Euro tournament. Credit to England for not showing any panic. Sure, they need to take more risks and attack. But they didn’t lose the plot of the game. No red cards. No terrible mistakes to give the game away.
Finally, Southgate is saved from a lot of misery from the press himself. If England beat Slovakia and go further, he will get a reprieve for a while.
Someone said that Jude Bellingham reminds them of Cristiano Ronaldo. You can’t doubt these types of soccer players, they said. Well, the bicycle kick that Bellingham pulled off is something Ronaldo would do and has done and I’m sure is impressed by.
Stat from ESPN FC: England’s only two shots on goal versus Slovakia have been goals. A Bellingham bicycle kick and a Harry Kane header. Just how England planned it!
