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.

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.
