"Something that Kane should be doing! Bellingham should be groomed for England captain! He demands a lot from himself and the team!"
87YNWALFC reacted:
"He should be the next captain."
Colum Wynn believes Kane should've done it instead of Jude:
"You'd think Kane, as captain and with all his experience at being a loser, would be the one that should have been doing this."
Hiximdad thinks Bellingham should captain England at the World Cup:
"He's captain of World Cup 2026. It has to be. Kane and Walker will be past it; his time is now."
Wei said:
"He didn't have a very good tournament, but still provided quite some moments. I think he can lead this team in the future. Harry is a wonderful player, but he is too quiet as a captain sometimes."

The England midfielder, who had a stellar debut season with Real Madrid, winning the UEFA Champions League and La Liga titles in his first season in Spain, is expected to provide stiff competition to whoever is in the running for the prize.
Messi mentioned several names when the Inter Miami star was asked to pick his choice to win this year’s prestigious individual award but did not include Bellingham.
