Jude Bellingham scored twice to send England into a World Cup semifinal with a deeply controversial win over Norway.England dominated possession in the first quarter of the game but struggled to create clear chances with Thomas Tuchel particularly animated during the hydration break.The response was not what England’s coach desired: first Erling Haaland had a header saved before Andreas Schjelderup fired in off the far post from the left side of the box for an extraordinary opening goal.It was then that a deeply controversial equaliser followed. Goalkeeper Orjan Nyland hit a goalkick upfield that Norway believed struck the overhead skycamera wire and dropped at the foot of Elliot Anderson, who played it to Anthony Gordon who in turn found Jude Bellingham to drive into the box and score.FIFA said its ball chip technology showed no contact with the wire or camera.Norway were furious with the decision and were angered further after the break when Torbjorn Heggem’s goal was disallowed after an initial push by Erling Haaland at a corner.It was Norway who controlled the second half, though Bukayo Saka’s cross had to be cleared from under the crossbar and Bellingham headed wide in stoppage time.Kane had a header saved at the start of extra time but Nyland badly spilt a Morgan Rogers shot and Bellingham pounced to score off the rebound.There was more drama to come with England awarded a penalty after Djed Spence went over in the box only for Clement Turpin to overturn the decision on review.Norway took off Haaland at half-time of extra time and England held out.England will play Argentina or Switzerland in Atlanta on Wednesday. The winners of that game will play either France or Spain, who play on Tuesday, in the World Cup final on July 19.Here The Athletic’s Jack Pitt-Brooke, Jack Lang, Thom Harris and Dan Sheldon break down the key talking points.Will England think it’s coming home?It wasn’t pretty. It wasn’t easy. But England are in the World Cup semi-finals for only the fourth time in their history after needing extra-time to beat Norway 2-1 in a steaming hot Miami.This was perhaps the most disjointed of all of England’s games at this World Cup, after a strong start gave way to a confused second half. Thomas Tuchel withdrew Declan Rice at half-time and it took England far too long to recover their structure. Torbjorn Heggem even had a goal to put Norway 2-1 up overturned by VAR.But England clung on and ultimately it was Jude Bellingham — who else — who won them the game. He scored late in the first half of normal time to make it 1-1, and then scored the winner early on in extra-time. Even by his standards it was a performance of remarkable decisiveness. He went off with 10 minutes of extra time left for Dan Burn, who as in Mexico, spent the final minutes heading the ball away.England will fly to Atlanta for Wednesday’s semi-final with huge questions, about the fitness of Rice, the tiredness of Bellingham and Harry Kane, and how they managed to lose control for so much of this game. But their spirit got them through another difficult game, harder in its own way than Mexico, and now they are one game from the biggest match of all.Jack Pitt-BrookeIs Jude Bellingham inevitable at this World Cup?Before the World Cup began, the consensus in the astrophysics community was that Jupiter, of all of the entities in our solar system, had the most gravity. Centuries of scientific study have unravelled over the last four weeks, however, because it turns out there was a miscalculation. There is, in fact, something with far stronger gravitational pull than all of the planets combined.“Mars Rover, come in. This is Kennedy Space Centre. Please change course. You risk being sucked into the orbit of… I don’t know how to say this. It’s… it’s Jude Bellingham.”Act one: added time at the end of the first half. England had started well, then begun to drift after the drinks break. Schelderup’s goal had appeared to knock the wind out of them. Then Bellingham did what Bellingham does, which is to say that he just happened, unstoppably. His equalising goal was a miniature marvel, a seminar in both movement and precision; scoring looked vanishingly unlikely, then possible, then the only thing that was ever going to happen.Bellingham scores the opening goal (Photo: Elsa/Getty Images)Much later in the piece — gone midnight back in England — a familiar energy was taking hold of the game. England were leggy, imprecise, struggling. Getting to extra time at all was a win. Penalties looked the most likely route to victory.Then he did it again. Morgan Rogers’ strike from range befuddled Orjan Nyland, who fumbled. Bellingham looked second favourite to reach the loose ball but quantum leaped his way there, slamming home his sixth goal of this tournament.Bellingham scores the second (Photo: Richard Pelham/Getty Images)It dragged his nation into a World Cup semi-final — and ever further into the starry swirl of the Judeverse.
