Despite a heartbreaking loss in the Euro 2024 final, Jude Bellingham remains optimistic about England’s chances of winning their first major tournament since 1966. The 21-year-old midfielder, along with six other players under the age of 25, believes that England’s time is on the horizon.
Bellingham acknowledges that people may be frustrated with the team’s inability to deliver a victory, but he is confident that success is imminent. He describes the team as young with a lot of potential, and he believes that they are on the right track.
The loss in the final was particularly devastating for Bellingham and his teammates. They had hoped to make history and make the people of England proud, but fell short in the end. Bellingham admits that it is disappointing, especially considering that the team will eventually need to deliver. However, he emphasizes that the team will never quit and will continue to learn from their experiences.

After the match, both manager Gareth Southgate and captain Harry Kane admitted that fatigue played a role in the team’s performance. Bellingham echoes their sentiments, explaining that the players had sacrificed a lot throughout the tournament. With hectic schedules and the physical and mental exhaustion of a long season, it was challenging for the team to perform at their best. Despite their efforts, losing in such a cruel manner was a bitter pill to swallow.
Overall, Bellingham remains hopeful for England’s future. With a young and talented team, he believes that success is just around the corner. The team will continue to learn from their experiences and strive to make the people of England proud.
