Bellingham still escaped a yellow card for covering his mouth while speaking.
In their second match in Group L of the 2026 World Cup, played early this morning (June 24th, Vietnam time), England dominated but were held to a 0-0 draw by Ghana due to poor finishing. After two matches, Thomas Tuchel's team leads with 4 points, the same as Ghana, but ahead on goal difference. Croatia (3 points) and Panama (0 points) follow.
Just before the end of the first half, Bellingham committed a fierce foul on Jerome Opoku of Ghana near the technical area. Although he escaped a yellow card, the English midfielder still created a tense atmosphere.

Later, cameras captured the moment Bellingham was talking to Ghanaian striker Jordan Ayew. Notably, the Real Madrid player appeared to cover his mouth with his hand while speaking to his opponent.
However, Bellingham did not receive a card from referee Said Martinez. Earlier, Paraguayan midfielder Miguel Almiron had become the first player in the tournament to be sent off for talking to a Turkish player. Therefore, Bellingham's actions quickly attracted attention from the media and fans.
At the 2026 World Cup, threatening or disrespectful behavior towards opponents will also be more closely monitored. Specifically, according to FIFA regulations, players may be disqualified if they intentionally cover their mouths while making offensive, insulting, or threatening gestures or statements towards opponents on the field.
As the players moved into the tunnel for halftime, Bellingham continued his verbal altercation with members of the Ghana coaching staff. Footage shows him clashing fiercely with assistant coach John Paintsil. Both sides reportedly shouted insults like "bastard" and "get out" at each other as tensions escalated.
Ghana's head coach, Carlos Queiroz, was also reportedly involved in the incident with provocative remarks and attempts to attack Bellingham. However, members of the Ghana coaching staff intervened in time to prevent the situation from escalating.
In the 73rd minute, manager Tuchel decided to substitute Bellingham for Morgan Rogers in an attempt to make a difference in attack.
