Yeah, let's not worry about replacing Harry Kane just yet.
We're all right for a few games for the moment with him because they are doing an incredible job, the pair of them, six goals apiece.
The thing about Bellingham as well, Liam, is just the fact that, like I mentioned before, nine of his 12 England goals have come in major tournaments.
He just seems to be able to rise significantly.
to the occasion, whatever the level is, whatever the moment is, he seems to be able to meet it.
And considering there was debate about him even being in the squad or the team coming into this tournament, it's unthinkable that he wouldn't be part of this group.
Tuchel done this on purpose because he didn't seem like he wanted to shut down the debate at any point it always felt like he was quite pleased that there was some debate around not just Jude Bellingham but it sort of felt like in particular Jude Bellingham was such a talking point and there was no at no point did he completely shut it down and guarantee him anything basically.
No, absolutely not.
One thing we need to mention before we move on, Carl, as well, is the way that England stopped Erling Haaland last night.
So just to spell this out, it's the first time he's played a competitive international and not scored since October 2024.
He'd scored in 14 straight games for Norway, but not now.
Yeah, it was odd.
It was definitely odd.
It was celebrated in the pub where I was in as well.
It was quite a few chairs.
I imagine a lot of Manchester City fans were jeering Erling Haaland for the first time in their lives around where we were.
Okay, let's talk more then about the substitutions because it is a theme, I suppose, it's become of this tournament for Thomas Tuchel in England, not least because of some of the players picking up the injuries and managing the problems as well.
I mean, Liam, you obviously covered him when he was at Chelsea, Thomas Tuchel.
Do you see similarities in the way that he's handling this group and this moment to the knockout success that he had at Stamford Bridge?
Yeah, Carl, the midfield was like a carousel of changes, really, wasn't it?
