Overview
- England advanced to the World Cup semifinal after a 2-1 extra-time win over Norway on Saturday, with Jude Bellingham scoring both goals to decide the tie.
- A broadcast camera cable was reported to have contacted the ball before England’s equaliser but referee Clément Turpin, VAR and a reported FIFA ball‑chip readout said there was no confirmed contact and play stood.
- Norwegian goalkeeper Ørjan Nyland failed to hold a Morgan Rogers shot in extra time, allowing Bellingham to score the rebound that proved decisive.
- England coach Thomas Tuchel criticised his team’s performance as unsteady despite the result, while Bellingham and captain Harry Kane offered calmer public reactions after the match.
- The result ends Norway’s run despite Erling Haaland’s seven-goal tournament and highlights Norway’s defensive vulnerability, and leaves England facing defending champion Argentina in the semifinal.
