Jobe Bellingham joins brother Jude in England squad as Cole Palmer is left out #shorts
Guardian Football drew one of the largest weekly audiences among its nearby football peers, with roughly 2.5 million views. Conner Cole had a substantially bigger week, while The Athletic FC Podcast and The Club also attracted sizeable audiences. For Guardian Football, that extra attention came without a change in subscribers.
The most watched of its four new uploads brings a family milestone into the England squad announcement. Jobe Bellingham joins brother Jude, and Thomas Tuchel recalls seeing his excitement as soon as he delivered the news. Jobe plays at Borussia Dortmund, Jude's former club, where his midfield work has helped earn this first senior call-up.
Tuchel's warmth comes with a sharper selection message elsewhere. Explaining Cole Palmer's omission, he says: "He misses too many opportunities to impress. It's not personal..." Beneath the Short, viewers discuss that directness and the prospect of seeing the Bellingham brothers in midfield together. The clip has reached about 33,000 views.
Managerial uncertainty supplies the week's other main thread. "Manchester United have a HUGE decision to make? | Football Weekly" follows United's comeback victory over Roma amid speculation about Michael Carrick's role. "Could FIVE managers be sacked this weekend? | Football Weekly" broadens the question, and is drawing almost as many daily views as the England Short. Those two uploads currently carry the strongest momentum among the featured videos.
Across the channel, daily views are approaching three times their usual level. Subscribers remain unchanged over the week, but the viewing audience has been much busier than that steady count suggests.

What viewers say
Please get Jude and Jobe on that pitch together! That’s gonna be mental because from what I’ve seen they could both potentially dominate playing together and imagine brothers who are actually close and playing in midfield together maybe starting too at some point be mental 😅
