In the final Group A clash, England faced Wales in a game where winning or losing would make the difference between being in or out of the last 16, and although the Three Lions had the full advantage in terms of position and chances of advancing as leaders, the Welsh side did not give up and gave their chances a go against the English.
Evidently the impetus and drive of the Welsh was not enough to cope with a Three Lions side that dominated in some areas of the pitch, with the superiority of the Welsh being seen in a simple image where Wales star Gareth Bale was just a spectator of what the Borussia Dortmund gem and possible Liverpool reinforcement, Jude Bellingham, was orchestrating, with the Reds fans applauding the moves of the player they already see as their new reinforcement.

Not only was the MLS player simply waiting to see what Bellingham was doing in midfield, but the entire opposing team was never able to stop the English block that despite having a clear dominance could not generate clear and obvious goal scoring moves after that one-on-one against the goalkeeper that Harry Kane missed, prevailing the scoreless draw during the first 45 minutes.
The main difference between Bale and Jude Bellingham's consistency in midfield is in the football played at club level, because while the English jewel is wanted by the biggest institutions on the old continent, the Welsh star has not long since left Europe to emigrate to football in the United States, where he could not be a starter either.
This World Cup in Qatar has led to this type of situation where the old stars are being overtaken and in some cases humiliated by the new generations, as a few years ago perhaps Bale in his prime could have overtaken Bellingham with his good football and his surprising speed.
