Tom Brady Sends 2-Word Message to England's Jude Bellingham

Tom Brady has sent three World Cup-related tweets over the past month. The seven-time Super Bowl winner wondered aloud, “Best World Cup ever????” He claimed that Argentina’s comeback over Egypt “might top 28-3,” referencing when his New England Patriots erased a 28-3 deficit to stun the Atlanta Falcons and win Super Bowl LI.

And after another stellar Jude Bellingham performance, Brady posted, “Hey Juuuude [blue heart emoji].”

Bellingham and the Three Lions of England ended Norway’s all-time run at the 2026 FIFA men’s World Cup in the quarterfinal in Miami on Saturday, July 11. The final score was 2-1 in extra time, and Bellingham scored both goals.

The Real Madrid star previously notched a brace in a 3-2 win over Mexico in Azteca in the Round of 16. After the quarterfinal, Bellingham and captain Harry Kane have scored six goals apiece for England at this World Cup.

At 23 years and 12 days old, Bellingham became the second-youngest player to score two or more goals in successive World Cup knockout games and the first since Pelé did it in 1958, per FOX Sports host Rebecca Lowe.

The majority of the crowd at Hard Rock Stadium in Miami agreed with Brady’s sentiment, by the way. As has been the case all tournament, the stadium swelled with Oasis’ “Wonderwall” and The Beatles’ “Hey Jude” after England claimed victory over Norway.

England last appeared in the World Cup semifinal in 2018, losing to Croatia, and flamed out in the quarterfinal of the 2022 World Cup. As such, the Three Lions are still vying to win their first World Cup since 1966. They’ll have to go through Argentina, the defending champion, and Lionel Messi. That sure-to-be epic semifinal match will take place in Atlanta on Wednesday, July 15.
