Bellingham's extra-time double sends England through
Jude Bellingham scored twice as England beat Norway 2-1 after extra time at Hard Rock Stadium to reach the semi-finals. Andreas Schjelderup's stunning strike had put Norway ahead before Bellingham levelled on the stroke of half-time and won it in extra time, the tie locked at 1-1 after 90 minutes.
How it unfolded: Schjelderup stuns, Bellingham decides
Norway led through Schjelderup's brilliant finish around 25 minutes. Bellingham sliced through to equalise before the break, and after a tense contest he struck again in extra time to complete his brace and send England through.
At 23, Bellingham is already England's driving force, and his brace keeps alive their dream of a first title since 1966. Norway, who had beaten Brazil, exit as one of the tournament's stories, with Haaland left just behind in the Golden Boot race.
The next step: England meet Argentina
England advance to a semi-final with Argentina on July 15 in Atlanta. With the tie level after 90 minutes, our forecast of England to avoid defeat landed before they won it in extra time.

England hold a narrow edge on depth and experience, needing only to avoid a 90-minute defeat to reach extra time; Haaland's threat keeps Norway live, so the double chance is the measured play.

Norway meet England at Hard Rock Stadium in a quarter-final defined by one question: can England stop Erling Haaland? Norway are the story of the tournament, Haaland's brace having stunned Brazil to reach a first-ever quarter-final. England, under Thomas Tuchel, reached a third straight last-eight with a 3-2 win over Mexico at altitude, Harry Kane fresh from passing Pele's tally. Norway's belief and a generational striker meet England's depth and experience. Our forecast favours England to avoid defeat, with a draw heading to extra time.
