Haaland scores but England end Norway's World Cup in extra time

England 2–1 Norway: your World Cup ends in extra time

It went 120 minutes. England 2–1 Norway in the quarter-final on Saturday, and your team are out (1). Haaland scored, again, his eighth of the tournament, but Bellingham and Kane answered and the flags are down now. Norway pushed England further than anyone expected.

Bellingham had a line afterwards, and it stings in a way that might actually be a compliment: "Maybe he doesn't know what it's like to play under these conditions against Erling Haaland, Martin Ödegaard, Antonio Nusa and Alexander Sörloth," he said of Tuchel (1). Your attack kept England honest.

The goal that was taken away

VAR disallowed a Norway goal in the second half, and it split the referee community. Haaland was judged to have pushed Elliot Anderson before the ball went in (2). Former FIFA ref Keith Hackett backed the call. "First of all, we have to understand that the law has been changed. In that situation, the referee can call a foul and call a sanction while the ball stationary," Hackett said (2). You saw it. You have an opinion. Hackett does too.

Nyland says sorry to Neymar

Orjan Nyland has publicly apologised to Neymar for his penalty provocation in Norway's 2–1 win over Brazil in the round of 16 (3). "I will never forget that game, Brazil were one of the best teams we've ever played, and Neymar is still a legend to me. I hope he forgives me," Nyland said (3). A small moment, but it matters.

Sörloth targeted by online abuse

Alexander Sörloth's partner Lena Selnes revealed he received death threats after the England defeat (4). The abuse appeared on social media after Norway's elimination. Selnes shared screenshots. There is no excuse for it.

Fan-reaktioner

Norwegian corners of the internet are quiet. Over on r/worldcup and r/Gunners, England fans have been sharing clips of Bukayo Saka's performance and the crowd singing 'Hey Jude' for Bellingham at full time. Painful viewing if you are still processing the result. The thread on r/worldcup is full of English fans celebrating. A reminder that your team earned their respect, Norway pushed them to extra time, and nobody saw that coming a month ago.
