Bellingham Stars as England Edges Norway in Extra Time to Reach World Cup Semis

England has advanced to the semi-finals of the men's football World Cup after a thrilling extra-time victory against Norway in Miami. The final score was 2-1, with Jude Bellingham emerging as the hero for England by scoring both goals.

England controlled possession for much of the early part of the match, while Norway defended deep. As the first half progressed, Norway grew into the game, leading to a remarkable goal in the 36th minute. Andreas Schjelderup scored from outside the box, with the ball sailing over England's goalkeeper Jordan Pickford and into the net off the post.

Just before halftime, Jude Bellingham equalized. He received a pass from Anthony Gordon, evaded a defender, and scored with a firm shot. Despite several chances for both sides, the score remained tied at 1-1 through regular time, necessitating extra time. Bellingham scored his second goal in the third minute of extra time, following up on a save by Norwegian goalkeeper Ørjan Nyland from Morgan Rogers. England then comfortably secured the win, as Norway struggled to create further opportunities.

Norway's journey in the tournament, which marked their best-ever World Cup performance, came to an end. England will now face either Argentina or Switzerland in the semi-finals as they continue their quest for a World Cup title since 1966.
