Bellingham claps back at Tuchel, and a $JUDE meme token crashes 98% because of course it did England's World Cup hero and his manager can't agree on whether winning was lucky, while degens on Solana learn a familiar lesson Share Add us on Google by Editorial Team Jul. 12, 2026 Jude Bellingham scored both goals to drag England into the World Cup semi-finals. His manager called it lucky.

Bellingham essentially told him to pipe down. And somewhere on Solana, a meme token named after the 23-year-old striker lost nearly all its value in the time it takes to watch a highlight reel. The match, the comments, and the clapback England beat Norway 2-1 in extra time on July 11, 2026, in Miami.

Bellingham was the difference, scoring twice to overcome a deficit and send England through. Thomas Tuchel had other ideas about how to characterize the result. “We were lucky today,” Tuchel said after the match.

The German manager characterized England’s overall display as sloppy, suggesting the result flattered a team that hadn’t controlled the game the way he wanted. Advertisement Bellingham, still cooling down from scoring the goals that kept England’s tournament alive, wasn’t having it. On the pitch, his initial response was a dismissive “Yeah, well, whatever.”

His more pointed comments came shortly after. “Maybe he doesn’t know what it’s like to play in those kind of conditions against them,” Bellingham said. Enter $JUDE, exit your money As Bellingham’s name trended globally during the World Cup, an unofficial $JUDE token appeared on Solana, riding the wave of attention surrounding England’s biggest star.

The token crashed 98% shortly after its debut. The $JUDE token had no official connection to Bellingham, no utility, no roadmap, and no reason to exist beyond the fact that a footballer was trending on social media. Why sports and crypto keep colliding The pattern is consistent.

A high-profile sports moment generates global attention. Opportunistic developers spin up a token in minutes. Social media amplifies the signal.

Early buyers make money. Everyone else holds a bag worth roughly nothing. What this means for investors Solana’s low transaction fees and fast block times mean anyone can launch a token and anyone can buy it before their rational brain catches up with their FOMO.

The 98% crash wasn’t an anomaly. It was the expected outcome for an asset with zero fundamentals trading purely on sentiment. Bellingham, for his part, is focused on the semi-finals.

Whether Tuchel thinks that’s lucky or not is apparently no longer his concern. Disclosure: This article was edited by Editorial Team. For more information on how we create and review content, see our Editorial Policy.
