Life is tough when you're the younger brother. The older guy has established the legacy, done all of the fun stuff. And then you're just the one who follows. Jobe Bellingham is a natural in the role. He even nailed the exact path, going from a struggling Championship club to Borussia Dortmund.
But early signs suggest that Bellingham the not-so-younger brother might actually be really rather good at this sport, too. He was magnificent for Dortmund last weekend, spearheading a chaotic 4-3 win over Mamelodi Sundowns.
That wasn't the only storyline of Matchday Two of the Club World Cup, though. MLS is either a mess or legit, depending on which results you look at. South American teams are still on fire - and based on the rapidly escalating temperatures, it seems the East Coast of the U.S. is pretty toasty, too. And finally, almost too perfectly, Sergio Ramos still loves an unnecessarily hard tackle.
