Own Goals: An own goal scored by Jude Bellingham will not count as a goal for the purposes of this market.

Background
England and Argentina will face off in the semifinals of the 2026 FIFA World Cup on Wednesday, July 15, 2026, at Atlanta Stadium. Both powerhouses reached the semifinals after demanding extra-time quarterfinals on Saturday, July 11, with England defeating Norway 2-1 and Argentina beating Switzerland 3-1.
Jude Bellingham was the hero of England's quarterfinal clash, scoring both goals—including the extra-time winner—to propel Thomas Tuchel's side into the final four. As one of the focal points of England's attack alongside Harry Kane, Bellingham's offensive output will be crucial as the Three Lions look to reach their first World Cup final since 1966.

1,000NO @ 65→35% (est YES 0.35, conf 0.6). This is a thin M$100 book pricing the "Bellingham always delivers in knockouts" narrative, not the book-implied number. Anytime-goalscorer anchors: bet365 16/5 (+320) ≈ 24% raw, de-vig ~20-21%. He's 4G/1A this tournament — more finisher than creator, so anytime-assist ~13%. Score-OR-assist over 90' ≈ 0.30; ET uplift (30% chance of ET × ~15% conditional) adds ~4-5pp → fair ~0.35. Even the generous read (higher assist share if he plays advanced, more ET) caps near 0.42 — still a wide NO edge vs 65%.
What flips me: if England set up with Bellingham as an advanced false-9 and Argentina's midfield gets overrun, his involvement share jumps — the +320 already prices "arriving late into the box is Argentina's soft spot," it doesn't price 65%.
