England through after extra time, Argentina semi-final set

England scrape past Norway 2–1, Argentina await

Your team are through to the World Cup semi-finals, but Thomas Tuchel was not having it. England 2–1 Norway after extra time (12). Andreas Schjelderup put Norway ahead, Torbjorn Heggem scored an own goal to level it, and the winner came in the second period of extra time (12). Erling Haaland was substituted goalless (6) (8).

"The result is fantastic, we're in the last four. It's amazing. I'm not happy with the performance," Tuchel said. "Sloppy, tactical mistakes, not fast enough. We were lucky enough" (12).

Kane: Tuchel's anger is a good sign

Harry Kane did not push back. "In a certain sense that is a good thing," the captain said of Tuchel's criticism (14). The manager wants more, and Kane sees it as a signal that standards are not slipping even after a quarter-final win.

Argentina set up semi-final with England

Argentina beat Switzerland 3–1 after extra time on Saturday (1) (2) (15). Julián Álvarez scored the decisive goal that sends the holders into a semi-final against England on July 15 in Atlanta (2) (13). That means Lionel Messi stands between your team and a World Cup final (15).

FIFA dismisses spidercam controversy

Norway questioned whether the ball struck an overhead wire before England's equaliser. FIFA reviewed the footage and denied it (9). No further action. The goal stands.

Bellingham on the big stage

Jude Bellingham's tournament is being measured against World Cup legends now, and with Messi next the spotlight only grows (10). He was central again against Norway, leading England's physical response (7). The semi-final lineup is set: England, Argentina, France, and Spain, the top four by Elo rating (4).

Fan reactions

The mood is split. Some fans are buzzing about England facing Argentina in Atlanta next Wednesday, the kind of heavyweight semi-final the tournament deserves. Others are still stuck on the spidercam debate, with Snicko footage doing the rounds and Norway fans unconvinced. Bellingham's sharp reply to Tuchel's criticism, "maybe he doesn't know what it's like to play in those kind of conditions", is getting plenty of love too. Full thread here.
