England reached the semifinals of the 2026 FIFA World Cup after a quarterfinal victory over Norway, with Jude Bellingham scoring twice for the second match running. The result eliminated Norway, one of the tournament's surprise contenders, and reinforced England's status as a leading favourite as the competition entered its final stages.
Much of the pre-match focus fell on the star forwards on either side, England's Harry Kane and Norway's Erling Haaland, the latter having become one of the tournament's most popular figures in the United States. Bellingham's brace continued a strong personal run, lifting him up the Golden Boot standings and boosting England's title odds ahead of the semifinal draw.
- Bellingham scored twice as England beat Norway in the quarterfinal.
- It was his second consecutive two-goal game.
- Norway and Haaland exit; England advance to the semifinals.
