England secured a place in the semi-finals of the 2026 FIFA World Cup after defeating Norway 2-1 in an entertaining quarter-final that went into extra time, with Jude Bellingham producing another match-winning performance.

Norway stunned the Three Lions by taking the lead in the first half through Andreas Schjelderup. However, Bellingham responded before the break with a composed finish to level the score and restore England’s hopes.

The second half ended without a winner despite chances for both sides, sending the contest into extra time. Just three minutes into the additional period, Bellingham capitalised on a goalkeeping error to score his second goal of the match and seal England’s place in the last four.

The victory extends England’s impressive World Cup campaign and keeps alive their hopes of winning a first World Cup title since 1966. They will now face the winner of the quarter-final between Argentina and Switzerland in the semi-finals. Visit www.jocomms.com for more news.
