England booked their place in the FIFA World Cup 2026 semi-finals with a hard-fought 2-1 extra-time victory over Norway in Miami. Norway struck first through Andreas Schjelderup, but Jude Bellingham equalised just before halftime amid controversy over a possible camera-ball contact. After a tense second half, Bellingham scored again early in extra time following a goalkeeping error to seal England's win. Erling Haaland was unable to inspire a Norwegian comeback despite several chances. England will now face either Argentina or Switzerland in the semi-finals as they continue their pursuit of World Cup glory. (PC: X)
