England looked on course for their first World Cup final since 1966 after Anthony Gordon gave them the lead in the 55th minute at Atlanta Stadium. However, defending champions Argentina produced a dramatic late comeback, with Enzo Fernandez equalising in the 85th minute before Lautaro Martinez struck the winner in stoppage time to book a final against Spain. <\/p>\r\n\r\n
An emotional Bellingham struggled to hide his disappointment while reflecting on another painful exit for England.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
\u201cI think we can take a lot of experience from this, but it is so gutting. I wanted to be a part of an England squad that finally done it and got it over the line. To be here, telling the fans the same things they\u2019ve heard for years, it\u2019s really gutting,\u201d Bellingham said after the match according to the BBC.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
The 23-year-old also apologised to England supporters, who had travelled in huge numbers hoping to witness history.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
\u201cI wish I could give one more win or two more wins, but at the moment, my head is a bit fuzzy with disappointment, so I\u2019m sorry,\u201d he added.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Despite England\u2019s exit, Bellingham enjoyed an outstanding tournament and was one of Thomas Tuchel\u2019s standout performers. The midfielder finished the campaign with seven goal contributions, including a match-winning brace in the quarter-final victory over Norway that carried England into the last four. Earlier in the tournament, he also scored twice against Mexico in the Round of 16. <\/p>\r\n\r\n

The Three Lions will now shift their focus to the third-place playoff against France, while Argentina will meet Spain in Monday's World Cup final.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
