We may now know why England's Jude Bellingham slapped Argentina's Valentín Barco after Wednesday's World Cup semis game in Atlanta.

After Barco's team topped Bellingham's in the World Cup game, the latter popped the former in the back of the head to spark a quick brouhaha between the two.

Why did Bellingham slap him like that? Well, a new video surfaced of Barco gloating in front of England players after the Enzo Fernández equalizer in regular time. He seems to be showboating quite a bit in the clip, which probably didn't go over so well with England. Perhaps Bellingham was retaliating after Barco's bold braggadocio?
