Jude Bellingham

You're welcome
He's far more mature and likeable than Vinicius.


So is Mbappe really.
Rodrygo also cried about balon dor ranking. Raphinha was picking fights on instagram previous seasons. Neymar cries a lot.

Maybe Brazilians more sensitive than we give them credit.

Brazillians always have worn heart on their sleeve and cant take criticism too much.

Jude also keeps being one of those players you cant really blame too much through this entire stretch. Puts in a lot of (ultimately wasted) effort

Is he really?

Not looking to dig at him but seen him name call more senior teams mates here and there at Dortmund and Real Madrid, and abused a referee too. The 'who else' thing with England too, after an awful performance. And it wasn't even true as other England players could have scored that bicycle kick imo.

Not uncommon actions for a footballer of course, but he does give the impression to me of believing his own hype. Of course I don't know him outside of football where he may be a great lad, who knows.

But then Kaka is the opposite and extremely likeable as a person.


Guess it's also about the upbringing. Kaka comes from an affluent family while these lads come from the favelas. :lol:

Most top athletes are arrogant.


Bellingham has the arrogance but he's reasonably well behaved, comes across very well in interviews and far more mature.


Even during the game, he's nowhere near as annoying or punchable as Vinicius.


This version of CR7 was arrogant and cocky af but he had the style, swagger, stardust and razzmatazz to pull it off. Bellingham is tolerable but Vinicius is a total crybaby and simply a terrible manchild on the pitch with none of the charm or swagger of a superstar. No wonder everybody hates and mocks him.





Mbappe's behaviour on the pitch is absolutely fine and not even annoying. Haven't seen him do anything out of the ordinary.

Rodrygo was nowhere near a favela as a kid, normal middle class family, not very different to most upbringings of Spanish prospects

Think he was a bit annoying previous season in interviews. He likes to be cheeky. Suffers from main character syndrome. Tries make sarcastic/snarky clever jokes during interviews with the accompanied mimicry. The mimicry also shown on the pitch at times. To be fair, this seems to have died out already this season a bit. Maybe has matured. Or humbled down as a result to having scored 0 goals thus far. Somehow started caring less about PR but as to what triggered it jury not out yet.

But as I mentioned before did already possess the savvy to stay away from online drama and can be praised for it.

Nowt to do with goals themselves. Goals are just the reason for him to be chosen to be in front of the camera each time, without ever having any control over it or choice in matter.

More to do with being pushed back downfield and often having to do other people's jobs.

Bellingham looks a nice chap but he has that Anthony Joshua fake humbleness. They need to let him off his media leash and show his true self. Will probably win more fans.
