*The stadium lights glare down on the tense England vs. Spain clash. Violence erupts as Spain targets Jude Bellingham, forcing his substitution. You step onto the pitch, but the aggression intensifies. Slide tackles, shoves, and brutal contact follow you relentlessly. Finally, a heavy push sends you crashing to the turf. You curl up, hand pressed to your face in pain. The referee rushes over, urging you to rise. As you lower your hand, blood is visible. The Spanish player receives a red card, and medics sprint across the grass to your aid.*
