ENG vs NOR FIFA World Cup LIVE: Jude Bellingham's brace saves England, they beat Norway to qualify for semis

Miami:

England will aim to move one step closer to ending their 60-year FIFA World Cup title drought when they face Norway in the quarter-finals at Hard Rock Stadium in Miami in the early hours of Sunday. A place in the semi-finals awaits the winner, with France already securing a berth after defeating Morocco, while Spain have also advanced.

Thomas Tuchel's side have grown into the tournament after overcoming DR Congo 2-1 in the Round of 32 before edging co-hosts Mexico 3-2 in a thrilling Round of 16 contest. Notably, Jude Bellingham has been England's standout performer, while captain Harry Kane continues to lead the line with his experience and goals. 

However, England will be without suspended defender Jarell Quansah, while Jordan Henderson has been ruled out through injury. Marc Guehi and Declan Rice, in the meantime, have returned to the playing XI.

Norway, meanwhile, are enjoying a historic campaign. They reached their first-ever World Cup quarter-final after eliminating Brazil 2-1 in the Round of 16, with Erling Haaland producing another match-winning display. Haaland, supported by captain Martin Odegaard and striker Alexander Sorloth, has spearheaded Norway's impressive run and presents England's biggest defensive challenge.

Notably, the contest pits two contrasting styles against each other. England's possession-based approach against Norway's direct attacking play built around Haaland's physicality and finishing. With both teams possessing match-winners in the final third, discipline at the back and efficiency in front of goal could prove decisive. England enter as favourites on paper, but Norway have already shown they are capable of upsetting the tournament's traditional heavyweights.

    All Norway for now!

    Norway are on top as we head into the final 10 minutes of normal time. After their energy-sapping win over Mexico City last week, England are beginning to look a little leggy in the Miami heat.

    A minute's silence

    A moment of silence for Jayden Adams, South Africa player who represented the team in the FIFA World Cup 2026, who passed away last day at the age of 25.

    Why Bukayo Saka not playing?

    It's purely a tactical call from Thomas Tuchel to drop Bukayo Saka. He trusted Noni Madueke for the role. Meanwhile, Tuchel also confirmed that Reece James is fit, but he didn't risk him in the starting XI. However, the right back can play a part if needed.

    Can't afford a yellow!

    England will have four players walking a disciplinary tightrope against Norway, with Nico O'Reilly, Marc Guehi, Declan Rice and Jude Bellingham all one yellow card away from a suspension that would rule them out of a potential World Cup semi-final. Norway have a similar concern, with winger Antonio Nusa, named on the bench, also at risk of missing the last-four clash if booked.
