This Daily Mail article covers England's 2-1 victory over Norway in the 2026 World Cup quarter-final in Miami, a match decided by a brace from Jude Bellingham that sent Thomas Tuchel's side into the semi-finals. The piece centres on a refereeing controversy, suggesting there was a "little-known reason" why Bellingham's first goal — England's equaliser — should not have been allowed to stand, prompting complaints from Norway supporters. The result matters because it books England a place in a "titanic" semi-final against Argentina, who beat Switzerland in extra time.
The extractable article content is limited, as the text largely consists of surrounding headlines and site navigation rather than the full story. Related coverage indicates the win was described as "scrappy" and "nervy," settled in extra time, with Tuchel reportedly criticising his players and Erling Haaland controversially substituted despite Norway chasing the game. Additional threads include Alfie Haaland taking aim at the referees, Jordan Pickford being criticised by Ian Wright and Gary Neville for a goalkeeping error, and Zlatan Ibrahimovic disparaging Noni Madueke's performance.
- England beat Norway 2-1 to reach the World Cup semi-finals.
- Jude Bellingham scored twice, including a disputed equaliser.
- England will face Argentina in the semi-final.
