England reaches World Cup semi‑finals after Jude Bellingham's extra‑time double versus Norway

England defeated Norway 2–1 after extra time in the quarter‑final of the 2026 FIFA World Cup at Miami's Hard Rock Stadium on 11 July. Jude Bellingham scored both England goals – a 45+2 equaliser and the winning strike in the first period of extra time – overturning Andreas Schjelderup’s first‑half lead. Norway’s star Erling Haaland was held goalless, and the loss ended Norway’s historic run to the last eight.

England manager Thomas Tuchel publicly described the team’s performance as “sloppy” and error‑prone despite the victory, prompting a sharp rebuttal from Bellingham, who said the conditions and the quality of the Norwegian opposition made the match difficult. Captain Harry Kane defended Tuchel’s standards, while former England greats Wayne Rooney and Stefan Reuter backed the coach’s critique. The dispute also triggered discussion over a disputed goal that some claimed struck a spider‑cam cable; FIFA confirmed the goal was valid and the ball’s sensor showed no impact.

Bellingham’s brace moved him into the tournament’s Golden Boot conversation, bringing his tally to six goals. England will meet defending champion Argentina in the semi‑final on 15 July at Atlanta’s Mercedes‑Benz Stadium.
