00:00Express and Star, we're asking people what they think about Jude Bellingham's performance last night.
00:06We're here in the centre of Starbridge, in Market Street, with the mural in the background.
00:11We've got three guys from King Edward's College, if you can just introduce yourself please.
00:15I'm Jack.
00:16I'm Jack.
00:17And I'm John.
00:19And you're all big football fans, I believe.
00:21Yeah.
00:22Did you watch the match last night?
00:23Yeah.
00:23Silly question.
00:24What did you think about Jude Bellingham's performance?
00:28He played well, outstanding on the pitch.
00:31Did he?
00:32To be honest, yeah, he did play well.
00:34He was quite a tidy header, which he managed to slot in.
00:38I believe he could have done a little bit better.
00:40He did spend a little bit of time on the floor, but not much.
00:44He finished being dirty really, wasn't he?
00:45I think he got hacked all match, but that's because everything seems to run through him.
00:49He seems to be our main man in the midfield, everyone seems to be getting the ball to him
00:52and then playing it off.
00:53So he's kind of like our focal point for the Euros, I think.
00:56He's strong and confident.
00:57He's really grown into that role now and I think he's ready.
00:59What do you think of his career so far?
01:01He's only 20.
01:02He's played for Real Madrid, he's played for Dortmund.
01:04He started playing for Starbridge, the youth team.
01:07What do you think about that?
01:09I think he's had a cracking career.
01:10I mean, the only reason he went to Dortmund was because Birmingham City were about to
01:14go into administration, so they needed the money, which kind of solved their club issues
01:19for the money when he moved to Dortmund.
01:21And then from there, he just ran away with it really.
01:24I think it's exceptional.
01:25Could you ever see him playing back in the Midlands?
01:27Do you support a team in the Midlands?
01:29Yeah, West Brom.
01:31Could you ever see him playing for them?
01:33Honestly, I do not think.
01:35I think maybe for retirement he might move back to Birmingham City, but that's a bit
01:39in the future though, so I'm not sure.
01:40Any predictions for the next game against Denmark?
01:433-0.
01:44Yeah, I'm saying 3-0.
01:462-0, I'd say.
01:47OK, decent win then.
01:49Next thing, we're asking people about the general election.
