Miami — England’s Three Lions advanced to the FIFA World Cup semi-finals after a grueling 2-1 extra-time victory over tournament underdogs Norway at Miami Stadium.
The highly anticipated showdown featured a marquee battle between Premier League superstars Harry Kane and Erling Haaland. While Norway put up a masterclass in defensive resilience, forcing the match beyond the regular 90 minutes, England’s depth proved decisive in the extra periods. Despite a late red card reducing England to 10 men, they managed to hold off a furious late Norwegian onslaught to punch their ticket to the final four, where they await their next opponent in Atlanta.
