England secured a spot in the World Cup 2026 semi-finals after defeating Norway 2-1 in a tense match in Miami that went to extra-time, driven by another inspired performance from Jude Bellingham.

Thomas Tuchel’s side fell behind early following an opening goal from Andreas Schjelderup. However, Jude Bellingham scored a controversial equaliser before half-time, leaving the score level at 1-1 after 90 minutes of play.

Bellingham struck again early in extra-time, pouncing on a loose shot to put England in the lead, which the Three Lions maintained to clinch the victory.

England will now face Argentina in the semi-final. Argentina reached this stage following a dramatic quarter-final victory over Switzerland that also required extra-time.

The semi-final in Atlanta takes place on Wednesday 15 July, with kick-off at 8pm BST (3pm ET):
