England Rally Past Norway 2-1 in Extra Time to Reach World Cup Semis

England reached the semi-finals of the 2026 World Cup by beating Norway 2-1 after extra time on Saturday in Miami, according to Le Nouvelliste. The Three Lions will face Argentina or Switzerland on Wednesday for a place in the final. Norway had taken the lead through Andreas Schjelderup in the 36th minute, but England turned the match around thanks to a double from Jude Bellingham, who scored just before half-time (45+2) and again at the very start of extra time (93rd minute). They were his fifth and sixth goals of the tournament. In their fourth World Cup appearance, Norway recorded their best-ever run in the competition but were eliminated in the quarter-finals, according to the report. England, meanwhile, continue their pursuit of a first major title since their World Cup triumph in 1966. The result sets up a high-stakes semi-final for the English side, who will learn their opponents from the Argentina-Switzerland tie. Swiss forward Breel Embolo's dismissal was among the talking points cited in related coverage. The report was published by Le Nouvelliste.
