World Cup LIVE: Who England play in semi-final, David Beckham behaviour, goal controversy
World Cup LIVE: Who England play in semi-final, David Beckham behaviour, goal controversy Jude Bellingham's match-winning brace has put a spring in England's step as they prepare for a World Cup semi-final against Argentina England are through to the World Cup semi-finals after Jude Bellingham downed Norway with a devastating double in Miami. The Three Lions are next due to face Argentina on July 15 (8pm kick-off) after Lionel Messi & Co came through their own extra-time trial against Switzerland. Real Madrid superstar Bellingham was again the man of the moment for Thomas Tuchel's side. The midfielder scored a match-deciding brace for the second game in a row following similar heroics against Mexico. Andreas Schjelderup's opener put England on the back foot in the first half before Bellingham got his first of the night. England were in some ways lucky to make it to extra time, as Norway had a second goal ruled out by VAR, and a new rule was introduced for the first time. Next up is a last-four decider against Argentina in Atlanta on Wednesday as England fans breathe a collective sigh of relief - for now. Stay up to date with all the reaction below... Key Events Norway captain Martin Odegaard conceded he felt "bitter" about his side's result against England. And the outcome was all that more difficult to accept considering the margins were so close. Arsenal skipper Odegaard said the result would have been easier to take if it was a complete blowout. As it were, however, he's struggling that much more with the narrow nature of the tie. "No, I mean, the match is over, so we can't do anything about it now," he said in a post-match interview. "It’s just bitter. "If we were standing here right now having been completely outplayed and lost 2-0, it would have been fine. Then you can just raise your hands, go home, and accept that that was the level. "But when it's down to such small margins and specific situations go against us, it feels extra bitter, especially when we were so close. "But we can't focus too much on it. It’s done now. We have delivered an absolutely massive performance throughout this tournament, so we have to try to look past the disappointment and frustration, be proud of what we've done and manage to focus on that." The fallout from Jude Bellingham's contentious equaliser continues after the ball appeared to strike the Spudercam wires in the build-up. Stale Solbakken said the ball dropped "straight from heaven" and suggested something should have been done by the officials. As it is, however, his Norway side are heading home while Bellingham & Co capitalised to move onto the final four. “I can’t say anything about that because FIFA,” said Solakken after the match. "If there’s no been no sound or there has been no (reading) in the chip, what can I say against that? “But the ball drops down straight from heaven says everyone, including Orjan, who is the goalie, including the guy who is going to receive the ball. “I saw another way just then, so I wonder also what happened. I think it’s pretty clear that it did and it was a strange thing.” Spare a thought for Stale Solbakken, who was clearly beat up by Norway's extra-time defeat in Miami. The Norway chief held it together until it came to a post-match interview going over what happened in the game. During an interview with Norwegian broadcaster NRK, he said: "I feel tremendous sadness for the boys; this is football at its highest level, giving you the most beautiful and harshest moments depending on which side you're on. "The truth is we were on the lucky and fortunate side against Brazil, but today we weren't; after a tough first 20 minutes in the match, we delivered a heroic performance in every possible way and I can't blame the players or ask more of them than what they gave." Solbakken showed his emotion and gripped his head in his hands as he clearly struggled to digest the result. Roy Keane put his trademark spin on England's latest win after they failed to coat themselves in glory. Despite advancing to the final four, Mancheste United icon Keane couldn't get away from the idea more will be needed to beat Argentina. And he doesn't know if England have what it takes. "I'm a bit worried," he told ITV. "We keep saying about England, 'They've got to play better, they can do better.' Maybe they can't! "Maybe this is the best England can do. When you're doing that but you're getting over the line, you deserve credit for that. But I'm not sure they can get much better than this. We keep saying, the few games, we could pick holes in them. What we do see is they've got a couple of world-class players who keep getting them out of trouble. "Maybe that would be enough for them, who knows. I think they do, if they're going to play Argentina, maybe France or Spain, I think they do have to play better to beat them. But why are we suggesting the ycan get better? "Maybe this is the best of England. How many times have we said that?" Jude Bellingham was defiant in his post-match message ignoring Thomas Tuchel's words. The England boss was critical of his side's performance despite the extra-time win over Norway, while Bellingham chose to focus on the positives. After praising his team-mates for their work in a "tough shift," England's No. 10 also told BBC Sport: "Maybe he doesn't know what its like to play in those conditions against Erling Haaland, [Martin] Odegaard, [Antonio] Musa, [Alexander] Sorloth, you know, that's not an easy team to face. "I think we've tried to create a positive environment and we should continue that going into the final four. "I can't speak highly enough of the lads, you're not going to win every game by popping the ball around and making a thousand passes, sometimes you have to win dirty, and we've done that again tonight." It's the morning after the night before as England get used to their newfound status as World Cup semi-finalists. Thomas Tuchel's first major tournament with the Three Lions will end up matching Gareth Southgate's best finish at a World Cup no matter what happens from here. However, one more win would see him overtake Southgate's best World Cup finish at the first time of asking. Attention now turns to Wednesday's showdown against Argentina, though England have done enough to revel in their achievement for today at least. Sir David Beckham was in attendance for England's clash with Norway and his behaviour before the match turned heads. The Three Lions icon caught the eye of supporters on social media for his passionate rendition of 'God Save the King' pre-match with the winger belting out the anthem with gusto alongside his wife Victoria Beckham. Sir David was attending the match after hosting Thomas Tuchel's men, who would go on to win the game 2-1, at his Inter Miami side's training complex in nearby Fort Lauderdale. There we have it folks, the World Cup semi-final line up is complete. A mouth-watering prospect ahead as the tournament edges closer to crowning its winner. FRANCE vs SPAIN - July 14 (Dallas) ENGLAND vs ARGENTINA - July 15 (Atlanta) Argentina overcome another almighty scare. They lead, were pegged back by the Europeans but took advantage against the 10 men. Julian Alvarez and Lautaro Martinez wrap it up after Alexis Mac Allister's opener. That wraps it up. Argentina will face England in the semi-final. Switzerland commit too many men forward and Lautaro Martinez wraps it up. Bedlam in Kansas City. Argentina have done it again, haven't they? Julian Alvarez has broken the Swiss resistance eight minutes from time. It's a sensational strike, one worthy of winning any World Cup knockout match, take a bow. Extra-time is here and England will be licking their lips at the prospect. The Three Lions had their gruelling showdown with Norway earlier but Argentina haven't had a smooth ride either. The red card will give them the advantage but Switzerland are looking to do the unthinkable. A huge 30 minutes here. Wow, real drama in Kansas City. Breel Embolo has been sent off for a case of mistaken identity! Leandro Paredes was adjudged to have fouled the Swiss front man, but it was found that Embolo, who had already been booked, has already been booked! He's inconsolable. Switzerland are incensed. Just like that, Ndoye levels. It's fluid and Argentina are carved open, which will be a worry for Lionel Scaloni. Ricardo Rodriguez and Ndoye combine, the forward squeezes the ball home past Emi Martinez. Game on! Argentina may be leading but it is far from over. Switzerland are having a lot of joy on the break and down the wide areas, which could be something that appeals to the England squad. We're approaching the second hydration break with Alexis Mac Allister's header the difference at the moment. A great night appears to have ended in a bitter way for former Tottenham midfielder and talkSPORT co-host Jamie O'Hara. The internet personality has seen his car broken into with his iPad and bag stolen. He took to Twitter to break the news. He tweeted, alongside a picture of his passenger window broken, saying: "Sad end to the night car broken into iPad and bag gone, but tbh we’re in the f***** (sic) semi final I can replace a window you can’t replace Jude Bellingham winning it for England." It's becoming a bit of full-blooded affair this as plenty of hefty tackles go in before the break. Alexis Mac Allister's header is the difference. Should Argentina get through, they will need to ensure they come through unscathed. As it stands, England will face Argentina. It may have been nervy watching it from the comfort of your own home, but what was it like in Miami? Andy Lines write: "Another game, yet another sensational win for England. What an extraordinary night here in Miami. The party city of the world will see the mother of all parties tonight and on Sunday. "South Beach better be ready for it. To see David Beckham join in singing Wonderwall on the giant screens was brilliant. But the moment that will stick with me was the huge roar when substitute Dan Burn - who was working in Asda 10 years ago - headed the last Norway cross clear and the referee blew the final whistle. "After shaking hands England players lined up arm in arm for the Wonderwall anthem. The singing of Hey Jude was simply spine-tingling." Just as I was typing that Switzerland were standing firm, Argentina draw first blood. It's Alexis Mac Allister who opens the scoring. The Liverpool midfielder rises above Manuel Akanji and nods home! Erling Haaland's dad, Alfie, isn't happy about the result. While he was complimentary about his son's former club teammate and Norway-slayer Jude Bellingham, he didn't take too kindly to Clement Turpin. Norway were aggrieved to see their second-half goal was ruled out and Jude Bellingham's equaliser after Orjan Nyland's goalkeeper was claimed to have hit the spider-cam. Alfie tweeted: "Well done to Bellingham and (the) referee." Oops! Harry Kane was thrilled to make the latter stages of another tournament in what was a challenging night, but acknowledged England were way off it. The striker said on ITV: "Another story, tough game, almost more brutal than Mexico to be honest. Wasn't our prettiest performance, we know that, we know there's another level in this team. On Tuchel's obvious frustration with the performance Kane added: "He said in the changing room, congratulations and celebrate, but there's a part of him that knows we can do better. Its kind of a good thing, if we're into the semi-finals and there's still another level." You've seen chief reporter John Cross's verdict from Miami. Give your England player ratings. Bellingham's first-half equaliser against Norway in the World Cup could have been chalked off due to a little-known FIFA regulation, with VAR overlooking a potential breach at the tournament in North America. ITV put Thomas Tuchel's criticism of England's overall performance to matchwinner Jude Bellingham, and he responded with... "Whatever". Tuchel had praised Bellingham as "world class" but said about the team: "We made life very, very difficult for ourselves today. The result is fantastic. We are in the last four. It's amazing but not happy with the performance. - in every sense." When ITV interviewer Gabriel Clarke passed those thoughts on to Bellingham, the England man said: "Yeah well, whatever. It's difficult out there, it's a tough shift. All the players have put in a tough shift. My thoughts and appreciation goes to the players our there who put in a great shift." So, you must've been under a rock not to know, but the winner of Argentina and Switzerland plays England. Many are already pitching it as the English against Argentina. They last met at a World Cup in 2002, and who could forget 1998, but they need to get the job done first. Another game, another moment to savour with the travelling fans. Bellingham hailed the way England dug deep to win their last eight clash. The Real Madrid man put it down to "character, perseverance even when things weren't working we found a way to win the game." He referred to the likes of Anderson and Burn as "warriors" and claimed they proved their mentality and their heart with the win. The England boss spoke with brutal honesty and said: "I never talked about suffering, we made life difficult for ourselves, but the result is fantastic, but I'm not happy with the performance in every sense." He added the display was "sloppy, a lot of technical mistakes, no fast enough, we were lucky today." The German strongly snapped back at any suggestion there was a mentality issue with his team. It's the anthem of the summer. Lap it up. Kane and Bellingham are stood with their arms around each other. There could be even greater days ahead.
