Jude Bellingham new socks become social media sensation after Euro 2024 semifinals, what's so special about it?

England managed to reach the finals of Euro Cup 2024 by successfully beating Netherlands 2-1, following one controversial equalizer from Harry Kane from the penalty spot, and the other being a 90th minute goal by Ollie Watkins, that sealed the deal for The Three Lions. However, this was not the only thing England fans were talking about post-match. According to a Daily Star UK report, netizens were eyeing the new pair of socks worn by Jude Bellingham during the game against Netherlands. Although he went goalless during this game, his socks somehow made up for it as the 'holes in his socks' made him appear as a '15 year-old emo' according to social media users.

Bellingham living the 'Jeff Hardy' life, say netizens

Some even claimed that Bellingham was in his Jeff Hardy-era, on the basis of his interesting socks, just like the ones models used to wear in music videos of the late 80's. Some users are even concerned about high-school kids following this new trend of holes in the socks, being flaunted by Bellingham, tentatively as a major fashion statement, that too in a very crucial match like a Euro semifinal.

Why are socks cut by players?

Soccer players have often taken scissors to their socks in the past few years, which is a practice to relieve stress on the calf muscles, so that cramps can be avoided during high-intense situations. The trend for this sock-cutting was majorly seen in the FIFA World Cup held in Qatar, and has now progressed as far as the Euro Cup 2024 semifinals. It will be interesting to observe whether Bellingham dons this same style statement in the Euro Cup finals.
