About
Bellingham Celebration, also known as Belligol, is a viral original sound on TikTok about English professional footballer / soccer player Jude Bellingham. The sound became a viral trend on TikTok around September 2023 after a user posted a fan edit video utilizing a Brazilian sports commentator's voice as he praised the athlete for scoring a goal. The viral video subsequently inspired a series of memes consisting of pairing videos and images of Brazilian anteaters doing an open-arms self-defense pose (similar to a T-pose), which mimics Bellingham's signature move after scoring a goal where he leans back slightly and stretches his arms out to the sides.

Before TikToker @njrdiniz's viral video in September 2023, many Brazilians were already memeing Bellingham's goal celebration for its similarity to the native giant anteater's self-defense pose.

Another meme, posted on September 9th by TikToker[4] @myguel.skills7, made the same comparison (shown below, right), which garnered over 550,000 plays and 101,000 likes in two months.
