EnglandSummary
England are through to the World Cup semi-finals after beating Norway 2-1 in Miami, continuing a tournament run that has seen Thomas Tuchel's side win four of their five knockout-era fixtures and score 13 goals along the way. The quarter-final win builds on their dramatic 3-2 victory over Mexico at the Azteca, and England now face Argentina or Switzerland in Atlanta on July 15 with genuine belief that 60 years of hurt can finally end.
The build-up to the Norway game was far from straightforward. Tuchel publicly criticised FIFA after Jarell Quansah's one-match suspension was upgraded to a two-game ban without explanation, forcing a reshuffle at right-back with Reece James, Djed Spence, and Ezri Konsa all competing for the spot. A sickness bug in camp added further anxiety, with Declan Rice missing two successive training sessions before the match. Tuchel's response to the pressure was characteristically direct, insisting his squad could handle the weight of expectation after Erling Haaland attempted to deflect scrutiny onto England in the days before kick-off.
Harry Kane, on six goals for the tournament, and Jude Bellingham, with four, have been the driving forces of England's campaign. Kane has silenced longstanding criticism about his performances at major tournaments, with former international Danny Murphy among those pointing to a player operating at the peak of his powers. Bellingham's influence has drawn similar praise, with ex-England midfielder Murphy describing criticism of the Real Madrid star as having been made to look laughable by his displays in North America.
