Henderson calls Bellingham England's X-factor before Croatia clash
England face Croatia on Wednesday in a World Cup match that already carries weight, and Jordan Henderson has singled out Jude Bellingham as the difference-maker. "He's a huge player for us in this tournament," Henderson said, backing the midfielder to be England's X-factor in the clash (1). For Croatia, the matchup revives memories of past tournament battles, with Luka Modric leading a side blending veteran experience and emerging talent like Luka Vušković under Zlatko Dalic's steady hand.
