Norway stuns Brazil at World Cup; England advances

The FIFA World Cup in North America saw a major upset as record champions Brazil were eliminated in the Round of 16 by Norway. The Scandinavian team secured a surprising 2-1 victory in the final stadium near New York, with star striker Erling Haaland netting both goals against a Brazilian side managed by Carlo Ancelotti.

Norway's triumph sets up a quarterfinal clash against England, who narrowly defeated co-hosts Mexico 3-2 in a thrilling encounter in Mexico City. Jude Bellingham scored twice for England, with Harry Kane adding a penalty to secure their progression.

In other news, Austria's government is pushing for a parliamentary vote to extend the nation's strategic gas reserve until 2029. The extension, estimated to cost 240 million euros, requires a two-thirds majority in the National Council, prompting appeals from the Economy Minister to opposition parties for cross-party support on energy security.
