England fought back to beat Norway and book their semi-final place

David Hytner was at Miami Stadium, and his report is in. There’s also a gallery of all the best pics from a fantastic night in Florida. Both are below. Congratulations to England, commiserations to Norway, and thanks to you all for reading this MBM. Argentina v Switzerland next! It never stops!

Harry Kane speaks to ITV. “Another story … tough game … hot, really brutal … almost more difficult than Mexico … we found a way … it wasn’t our prettiest performance … everyone put in an amazing shift … togetherness, desire, determination … [Thomas Tuchel] said massive congratulations … enjoy it … there’s a part of him that knows we can do better … that’s a good thing … if we find another level … we have to take that as a positive … we have a couple of big games ahead.”

Post-match postbag. “England’s best player was better than Norway’s best player. England’s supporting cast was better than Norway’s supporting cast. That will get the job done quite often” – Eric Peterson

“Another rollercoaster ride from England! I thought Tuchel’s interview was actually really refreshing in a way, telling it like it is. I did think taking off Anthony Gordon was a mistake as he’d been having so much joy with the left wing, and Kane did not produce enough, but anyway. Can we beat Argentina????? I’m really not sure we can. A shame we didn’t get to see another Viking row. Norway have been hugely entertaining and I will definitely miss them” – Matthew Leung

“During the break, Norwegian TV showed the ball hitting the wire holding the spider-cam inn the lead up to the Bellingham goal. It should have been disallowed. England are lucky they’re still in it!” – Eivind Krohg

“England needed help from the referee today, and they got it. The equaliser should have been ruled out, and Norway’s second goal should have counted” – Lasse Espe

“So, in the 1066 analogy, the Harold ‘Kane’ Godwinson and the English have seen off Harald Hardrada now. I’m struggling to fit Messi into the story but I seem to remember the eventual winners came from across the channel. William Saliba the Conqueror, anyone?” – Kári Tulinius

England’s two-goal hero Jude Bellingham talks to ITV. “Character … perseverance … even when things weren’t working we found a way to win … whether it’s in 90 or 120 we’ll give everything … we smashed it … so proud … it was a victory for everyone … the whole country wins … credit to everyone … a huge shift … I knew [Morgan Rogers] was going to make an impact … everyone was top level … you don’t know how much mentality and heart they’ve got until they’re in a situation like that.”

He’s then informed of Tuchel’s verdict, and doesn’t seem particularly enamoured by it. “[shakes head] Yeah, well, whatever … whatever … yeah, yeah, it’s difficult out there … it’s a tough shift … all the players have put in a very tough shift … so my thoughts and appreciation goes to the players who was out there … who put in a great shift yet again.”

A shiny dime to be a fly on the England dressing room wall in about ten minutes.

Thomas Tuchel speaks to ITV … and he is fuming, not least with Gabriel Clarke’s line of questioning, which begins with the statement that England expected to suffer, and touches on the subject of mentality. “I never talked about suffering … we made life very, very difficult for ourselves today … the result is fantastic, we are in the last four, it’s amazing … but … [purses lips severely] … I’m not happy with the performance … in every sense … the commitment is there but we made life very difficult for us in the way we played … sloppy … a lot of technical mistakes … not fast enough … not repetitive enough … we were lucky today … this is pure mentality, how can you ask about mentality now?!? … this is pure mentality!!! … you can bottle it up and sell it!!! … it’s the quality of our games [shakes head, clearly furious] … overall we got lucky today … we need to play better … enough said [about Jude Bellingham] … he does it every single match … world class … we will get better … we need to get better … we have three days … we need a better performance.”

The look he gives Clarke as he departs can most politely be described as withering. That was a superb and spectacular loss of noggin. Tuchel, clearly already livid with his team, wasn’t having any of Clarke’s questions, and pushed back in a very entertaining manner. Jude and Harry aren’t the only box-office stars of this set-up.

… and now the by-now-traditional Gallagher-brother-infused singalong with their fans. They’re not singing this one, but it’s what they’re doing.

Jude Bellingham raises both arms in delight! He’s been the difference tonight, between the two teams, between England reaching their fourth World Cup semi-final and going home. England had to scrap, they rode their luck at times, but they simply didn’t give up, and eventually their strength in depth told. There are celebrations, but nothing too vigorous: everyone has run themselves into the ground! Erling Haaland comes off the bench to embrace Harry Kane, offering congratulations and a hug. That’s a moment of extreme sportsmanship despite Norwegian despair. And there are tears for Ørjan Nyland, whose failure to hold onto Morgan Rogers’ shot proved so costly. The proud Viking adventure is over … but England are making yet another deep run into a major tournament. It’ll be Argentina or Switzerland in Atlanta next Wednesday … and then, if they make that, France or Spain in the final. But one step at a time.

England’s mentality monsters are in the semi-finals of the 2026 World Cup!

ET 30 min +1: Rogers takes the ball to the corner. Then Ajer slices a tired clearance into the stand.

ET 30 min: There will be two additional minutes. England 120 seconds away from the semis!

ET 29 min: Nusa chases after a long pass down the left and flagged offside. Then Kane goes over clutching his head. The referee tells him to get up.

ET 28 min: Norway are given an uncontested drop on the halfway line. They’re not happy, but England are now so close to their fourth World Cup semi-final!

ET 27 min: Odegaard curls into the box. Pickford comes out to punch and clatters into Rogers. He goes down and the referee stops play. Ajer is beyond livid with what he sees as gamesmanship, and talks his way into the book.

ET 26 min: James upends Nusa out on the left. Another opportunity for Norway to put the ball into the England box and cause some mischief.

ET 24 min: Nusa curls in from the left. His cross is deflected wide right for a corner. The set piece is half cleared by Stones, but Bobb has the chance to shoot from the edge of the box. He leans back and shoots over. There was a deflection off Eze, but Norway aren’t getting their corner.

ET 23 min: It’s attack versus defence as Norway go looking for an equaliser.

ET 21 min: Bellingham has done so much, but he’s reached the end of the road. Utterly spent, he’s replaced by Burn.

ET 20 min: Nyland bowls the ball out and it’s an easy interception for Spence, who advances quickly towards the box and shoots. Nyland makes up by parrying his shot, then doing the same with Saka’s effort from the rebound. What a weird up-and-down game the Norway keeper has had.

ET 19 min: Bobb finds Berg in a pocket of space, just to the right of the England D. He’s got time to line up a shot, but leans back and hoicks a wild effort over the bar. That was a good opportunity.

ET 17 min: It’s all otherwise a bit scrappy, which will suit England, given the state of the match, down to the ground.

ET 16 min: Nusa advances down the left and fires a low cross into the mixer. Stones clears and then Bellingham wins a free kick for accidentally kicking Holmgreen Pedersen in the fruitbowl!

Norway get the second half of extra time (sixth quarter?) underway. And here’s a jaw-dropper of a substitution: Strand Larsen comes on for Haaland! No sign of an injury, but he sits down in the dugout looking spent.

Jude Bellingham is a force of nature.

ET 15 min +3: Saka cuts back from the right for Bellingham, who sends a snapshot over the bar from the edge of the box. Bellingham did pretty well there, given the referee was close by and allowed the ball to go through his legs just before it reached the England two-goal hero.

ET 15 min +2: Anderson crosses long from the right for Eze on the other flank … and then the flag goes up for offside.

ET 15 min: Aursnes crosses from the right. Pickford claims confidently on his line. There will be three additional minutes of this first period.

ET 14 min: Bobb rolls a pass in from the right for Nusa, who opens his body and aims a curler towards the bottom left. Guehi throws himself in the road to block at the expense of a corner … which comes to nothing.

ET 12 min: No penalty. Spence deliberately put his leg across Bobb, and Norway are thrown a lifeline!

ET 10 min: … but did Spence instigate the contact? If he’s stepped across his man on purpose, to deliberately make contact with his man, VAR will get involved. And the referee is indeed asked over to the screen …

ET 9 min: Spence dribbles his way down the left. Then along the byline. Then into the box, back upfield and … he draws a clumsy foul from Bobb, who kicks the back of his leg! The referee points straight to the spot.

ET 7 min: England look very comfortable all of a sudden. Meanwhile more on cablegate, because Jacob Steinberg reports that “Fifa say they have checked the data and there is ‘no peak on the graph from the connected ball heartbeat sensor’.” So that’ll be the last we’ll hear of that. Eh?

ET 5 min: Bellingham did so well to get in ahead of Ostigard there. Quicker to react, and he gets his reward! Meanwhile here’s some more on the camera-cable incident, courtesy of Fox Sports (via Ella Brockway and Beau Dure of our US desk) … according to the network’s initial report, the ball hit the wire, the ref missed it, Norway’s players and manager tried to draw attention to it, VAR didn’t review, and that was that. However now on Fox: “There are reports now that Fifa is saying that [the ball hitting the cable] didn’t happen.” There’s always something with these Fifa lads, isn’t there.

Rogers gets the ball 30 yards out. He takes a touch before pearling a shot towards goal. Nyland tries to claim, but lets the ball squirt out of his arms. It sits up for Bellingham, who can’t miss from six yards! What a World Cup he’s having! That’s six goals now!

ET 2 min: An England corner from the right. Saka swings it in … but Ajer clears at the near post.

England get the first half of extra time underway. Norway have replaced Heggem with Ostigard.

It’s going to extra time!

90 min +8: Bellingham’s not happy about it. But that’s the way it is.

90 min +7: There will probably an extra couple of minutes due to Heggem’s cramp. Then Heggem, in passing back to his keeper, accidentally stands on Bellingham’s ankle. Kane wants a free kick, sending off, all sorts, but neither referee nor VAR shows any interest in escalation.

90 min +6: Heggem is back on.

90 min +5: England continue to pass and probe. Stones swings in from the right. Bellingham, on the penalty spot, stoops and eyebrows a weak header wide left. Kane claims a penalty for some light shirt pulling, but that’s not going to happen for him.

90 min +4: Heggem eventually gets up, but he’ll be off the park for 30 seconds.

90 min +3: England are pressing energetically again. Norway can’t get out of their final third. Kane hassles Odegaard, then Rogers strips the ball off Heggem, who stays down a moment with cramp. The tension is almost unbearable!

90 min +1: The first of seven additional minutes nearly sees England go ahead in farcical circumstances! Nyland dallies over a clearance with nobody near him. He takes so long that Spence closes him down as he takes his kick … and the rebound very nearly flies into the empty net! Goal kick, though, and what an escape for Norway’s keeper! To be fair, after the incident with the camera cable, he’s due a bit of luck.

90 min: Norway make a change, too, replacing Moller Wolfe – who was embarrassingly skinned by Saka back there – for Holmgren Pedersen.

89 min: The resulting corner sees Kane shove a defender in the back, and that’s the most obvious of free kicks. The pressure on Norway released. Then another England sub, as the spent Konsa makes way for Rogers.

88 min: Saka drops a shoulder to jink past Moller Wolfe and into the Norway box. He fires a low cross into the centre. With Eze and Kane lurking, waiting to sidefoot home from six yards, Aursnes arrives out of nowhere to hook clear! England so close!

86 min: O’Reilly is replaced by Spence.

85 min: It’s Nusa versus Konsa again, but this time the winger wins the duel, entering the box before scuffing a poor shot straight at Pickford.

84 min: Odegaard strokes a lovely pass down the inside-left to release Nusa into space, but there are no options in the middle for the winger, who eventually runs slap-bang into Konsa.

83 min: … but the corner doesn’t beat the first man, and then Odegaard harmlessly wedges a pass down the left out of play for a goal kick.

82 min: England can’t get out. Nusa advances down the left and wins a corner off Saka. Before it comes in, Haaland makes a point of tightening his ponytail. He’s intending to bang a header goalwards.

80 min: Bobb, Berge and Berg ping a lot of triangles down the right. No way through. Then the ball’s shuttled to the other flank, Nusa floating a diagonal into the mixer; it’s headed clear by O’Reilly.

78 min: Saka sends an inswinger into the Norway box from the right. It’s dangerous. The ball goes all the way across the face of goal, but Anderson can’t get on the end of it to poke into the bottom left. Goal kick.

76 min: … Pickford punches clear. Not very far. Aursnes sends a bouncing bomb through a crowded box. Moller Wolfe flaps a header goalwards, over Pickford and off the crossbar! The ball eventually squirts out for a goal kick. England have been second best in this half, and the luck’s been with them. Can they find a way to turn the tide?

75 min: Nusa probes down the left and wins Norway another corner. From which …
