England can't have Jude Bellingham taking his foot on the gas.
But the Three Lions also need Bellingham to avoid getting a yellow card against Mexico during the World Cup Round of 16 on Sunday night at the Azteca.
That's because a yellow card would bring with it a suspension.

Why would a yellow card suspend Jude Bellingham?
Bellingham enters with a yellow card from the Round of 32.
The World Cup has yellow card accumulation rules, and with two yellow cards in a brief amount of time comes a one-match suspension.
In this case for Bellingham, a yellow card in these two consecutive matches would result in a suspension.
It's a rule designed by FIFA to keep play clean and safe.
Of course, yellow cards aren't the same as red cards, so some aren't big fans of the yellow card rules.
In this case, though, that's how it works.
If Bellingham gets a yellow card and England wins, he'll miss the quarterfinal.
