His younger brother was playing for the nation in the U21 squad, and his performance has sparked a lot of discussion among fans online, while Jude Bellingham was dazzling for England against Latvia in Thomas Tuchel’s second game as manager of the Three Lions. Jobe Bellingham, like his older brother, rose through the ranks of Birmingham City, but he took a different path after leaving the midlands club to join Sunderland in the north of England.
After moving from St Andrews to the Stadium of Light, he has played 81 games for the Black Cats in the past two years and has emerged as a crucial player in their attempt to return to the Premier League. Along the road, the 19-year-old has scored 11 goals, and in late 2024, his performance in the squad earned him his first England U21 appearance. After a video of his highlights surfaced online, supporters had a lot to say about him after he received his second cap for the team in a recent match against Portugal U21.

Fans Are Comparing Jobe to His Brother
Their playing style is very similar
Jude Bellingham has risen to the pinnacle of professional football in recent years. After establishing himself at Borussia Dortmund, he moved to Real Madrid in 2023 and has since developed into one of Los Blancos’ best midfielders. In addition, he has performed admirably for the England national team, leading his country to the Euro 2024 final. Bellingham’s country roots are a blessing for three Lions supporters, but it appears that lightning may have struck again.
Fans were expressing the same sentiments as the younger Bellingham brother’s highlights from a strong showing versus Portugal U21 surfaced online. Like his brother, he plays. “Plays like his brother the only difference is that Jude plays higher on the pitch,” one fan wrote in a comment beneath the video of his highlights on X (Twitter). Another fan echoed the original view, writing, “He plays just like his brother.”
In agreement, a second fan added, “Literally Bellingham 2.0.”
One fan wrote, “The better Bellingham,” while another commented, “I think he balls better than his brother, Jude.” Some admirers even believe he’s more remarkable than Jude.
