On the pitch at least, it went (sort of) well for England. Their 1-0 win over Serbia gets their tournament up and running and, according to Barney Ronay, they have one man to thank.

Have we ever seen an English player like Jude Bellingham? Wayne Rooney’s intrioduction to the Three Lions was certainly more explosive. Maybe even Michael Owen’s leap into stardom was more dramatic. But I’m with Barney on this one. I’ve not seen a more complete footballer at this age before.
