Fans think they spotted Jude Bellingham calling out England teammate for Argentina goal

Jude Bellingham was spotted calling out his teammate after England suffered a gut-wrenching defeat to Argentina in the World Cup semi-finals.

The chance for England to end 60 years without reaching a World Cup final was in their hands when Anthony Gordon's strike just after half-time put Thomas Tuchel's side ahead.

But to the surprise of no one inside the Atlanta Stadium, the Three Lions suffered more tournament heartache when Argentina produced a stunning late comeback through Enzo Fernandez and Lautaro Martinez.

Tuchel's decision to retreat to a five-man defence backfired massively, as the team invited pressure and were ultimately punished by the magical Lionel Messi, who added two more assists to his collection.

There was a sense of frustration and disappointment from England's perspective after the game, with Tuchel deservedly receiving criticism for his decision-making and substitutions.

But the German wasn't the only one who came under fire for the result, as despite making a string of crucial saves to keep England ahead, Jordan Pickford was lambasted for Fernandez's equaliser.

Although the Chelsea midfielder found the back of the net beautifully from range, some felt Pickford should have done better, and Jude Bellingham was one of those who directed his disappointment towards the Everton shot stopper.

Bellingham was seen watching replays of the goal inside the stadium and appeared to angrily exclaim, "It's in the middle of the goal".

Gary Neville also joined the Real Madrid superstar with criticism of the 32-year-old. "Not gone in the corner, that, he's got to save that. Got to save it. He's past it," he said on the Stick to Football Watch Party.

Neville also called Pickford out for not catching a shot earlier in the match, saying: "Don't let him shoot from there. Got to catch that. It's straight at him. Honestly, it's going over as well."

Roy Keane, meanwhile, came to Pickford's defence and instead praised Fernandez. "What a strike, what a strike that is. 'Keeper gets nowhere near it, look at the 'keeper, he's nowhere near it. It's the power," he said.

Abysmal England stat revealed after losing World Cup semi-final

Pickford divided opinion for how he dealt with the equaliser, but the former Sunderland man was brilliant before that goal and produced some key saves, including one to deny Alexis Mac Allister's header from point-blank range.

The England gloveman wasn't helped by Tuchel's decision to switch to a five-man defence after Gordon put them ahead, as their goal was constantly under siege from Argentina's potent attack.

The Three Lions were punished for going defensive too early, and one abysmal statistic highlights how little they did in possession in the final 30 minutes.

Tuchel's men had just 12% of the ball when they were winning 1-0 for 30 minutes last night, as per Opta, and that is the lowest by a team to be winning for at least 10 minutes in a World Cup match in the last 60 years.

For many, the Germans' substitutions and England's subsequent capitulation were enough for him to be sacked, but as it stands, it appears that the FA are sticking with Tuchel.
