NEW ref cam footage has shown what Jude Bellingham told the officials after England’s World Cup semi-final defeat to Argentina.

With tensions boiling over right from the start in Atlanta, the Moroccan-American referee was central to most of the action.

And Bellingham, who could not believe the Three Lions threw away their lead, slammed them all afterwards.

A recording from Elfath’s headpiece posted online shows how the Real Madrid man walked over at full-time and said: “Some shocking ones but all the best.”

Bellingham, still fuming, then leaves without adding anything else – before he broke down in tears on the field.

England stars were regularly left frustrated at calls throughout the clash including Enzo Fernandez’s early collision with Elliot Anderson.

Many felt the Chelsea midfielder should have been sent off after slamming into Anderson’s head.

And others thought Lionel Messi fouled Djed Spence just before floating in a cross for Lautaro Martinez’s winner.

Elfath had been a surprise pick for the game due to his inexperience at the top level and unfamiliarity with most players.

British MP Oliver Ryan wrote on X, responding to a five-minute video of various flash points: “If FIFA had any sense of decency and sportsmanship, we’d get a replay with a different referee.”

And former Tottenham chair Lord Alan Sugar added: “Is there a chance if FIFA watched this they would disqualify Argentina for cheating or have a replay with another referee?”

Argentina went on to lose the final to Spain and were incensed themselves by certain decisions.

Fernandez was sent off for two bookings and Messi tried to get Marc Cucurella dismissed for covering his mouth.

Much like in the last-16 comeback against Egypt and the England match, the Argentine squad played on edge for over 90 minutes.

It’s hard for him. Those four words explain why Marc Cucurella has never tied his famous long hair—and the reason has left many fans emotional. For years, supporters thought it was simply his trademark look.

Behind that quiet promise is a family’s deeply personal journey through diagnosis, heartbreak and unconditional love. Sometimes the most powerful story at a World Cup isn’t about football at all.
