2026 World Cup: FIFA disputes sky-cam wire contact as controversial calls help England past Norway

England advanced to the 2026 World Cup semifinals with a 2-1 extra-time victory over Norway on Saturday, though the match was marked by controversial officiating decisions. Jude Bellingham's equalizing goal in first-half stoppage time came after the ball contacted the stadium's sky-cam wire, an incident that should have halted play according to FIFA protocol, though sensor data reviewed by FIFA found no collision. Norway's apparent go-ahead goal in the second half was disallowed following a VAR review for a foul call, and additional missed calls in extra time contributed to England's advancement.
