England have booked their place in the semi-finals of the 2026 FIFA World Cup after securing a 2-1 victory over Norway in their quarter-final match played overnight.
The hero of the match was Jude Bellingham, who scored both of England’s goals, including the winner in extra time after Norway put up a spirited fight. The victory keeps England’s dream of winning a second World Cup title alive, with their only triumph coming in 1966.
Despite the qualification, head coach Thomas Tuchel admitted that his side still has areas to improve, stressing the importance of playing with greater concentration in the next round. However, he praised his players for showing determination until the final whistle and earning a crucial victory.
Attention now turns to the semi-finals, where England will face Argentina in what is expected to be a highly competitive encounter as both teams battle for a place in the World Cup final.
Based on their performances so far, England supporters have every reason to believe their journey toward the title is still alive. If they continue to play with discipline and make the most of their chances, the dream of bringing the World Cup home could become a reality.
