Norway exit World Cup in quarter-finals, celebrated by 100,000 in Oslo
England 2–1, the dream ends in the quarters
Your team's best World Cup run is over. Norway 1–2 England in the quarter-finals, and it was Jude Bellingham who did the damage with both goals after you took the lead (1) (5). A historic campaign, the first time Norway ever reached the last eight, but the gap to the elite showed when it mattered most.
Over 100,000 flooded Oslo for the homecoming
The squad returned to a heroes' welcome. More than 100,000 fans lined the streets of Oslo, and the team closed the parade with a Viking row on the palace steps (3) (4). No quarter-final exit has ever been celebrated like this. The country knew what this run meant.
France, your group-stage conqueror, are out too
Spain beat France 2–0 in the semi-final on Monday (6). That is the same France side that hammered Norway 4–1 earlier in the tournament. Spain now wait for the winner of England versus Argentina in the other semi.
England face Argentina, Bellingham and Tuchel still at odds
The team that knocked you out has a semi-final of its own against Argentina (2) (5). Behind the scenes, Thomas Tuchel and Jude Bellingham have clashed again, unresolved tension heading into the biggest match of their tournament (2).
