Inevitable Jude Bellingham sends England into World Cup semifinal but were Norway robbed?

The New York Times sports

Key Points:

  • Jude Bellingham scored twice, including a controversial equalizer, to lead England to a 2-1 extra-time victory over Norway in the World Cup quarterfinal, securing England's place in the semifinals for the fourth time.
  • Norway's opening goal by Andreas Schjelderup was followed by a disputed England equalizer involving a ball that Norway believed hit the overhead sky camera wire; however, FIFA's ball chip technology confirmed no contact, and the goal stood.
  • Norway had a second goal disallowed after a VAR review found a push by Erling Haaland before a corner kick, a decision that frustrated the Norwegian team amid the match's contentious moments.
  • England struggled with midfield control after substituting Declan Rice at halftime due to illness, and despite Norway dominating much of the second half, England's resilience and Bellingham's decisive play carried them through.
  • England will face the winner of the Argentina vs. Switzerland match in the semifinals in Atlanta, with the tournament final scheduled for July 19 at MetLife Stadium between the winners of that game and the France vs. Spain match.
