Piers Morgan Declares Bellingham World Cup's Real Star

Piers Morgan, a British broadcaster, commented on the upcoming England vs. Argentina semi-final in the 2026 World Cup, scheduled for July 15 in Atlanta.

He suggested that it is "ludicrous" to focus on Lionel Messi as a threat, instead highlighting Jude Bellingham as the player to watch. Bellingham has been in exceptional form during the knockout stage, scoring two goals in consecutive matches, which propelled England to the semi-finals.

His performance includes a crucial contribution to a 2-1 extra-time victory over Norway in the quarter-finals. This achievement makes Bellingham the first player since the legendary Diego Maradona in 1986 to score two goals in consecutive World Cup knockout matches.

Morgan emphasized that the pertinent question is whether Argentina can stop Bellingham, who has scored six goals in six matches and is currently trailing only Kylian Mbappé and Messi in the golden boot leaderboard.
