FIFA WORLD CUP 2026 : NORWAY VS ENGLAND – 11/07/2026 (PHOTO – JUDE BELLINGHAM CELEBRATES)

WHAT A MATCH THIS WAS LAST NIGHT BETWEEN NORWAY VS ENGLAND, WHICH WAS PACKED FULL OF DRAMA FROM START TO FINISH! WHICH WAS AMAZING REALLY CONSIDERING THE SWELTERING 41 DEGREE CONDITIONS AND HUMIDITY, (AND SOME VERY TIRED LEGS AT THIS BUSINESS-END OF THE COMPETITION – ON BOTH SIDES, ALTHOUGH YOU’D NEVER KNOW IT), BUT THIS MATCH HAD IT ALL! ANY PUNDIT WHO SAYS IT DIDN’T IS JUST TRYING TO MAKE A NAME FOR THEMSELVES! MAYBE THEY SHOULD RENAME THEMSELVES “THE WORLD’S UGLIEST PUNDIT!”😂 ECSTATICALLY HAPPY, WELL-BEHAVED FANS WERE CHEERING THEIR HEROES FROM BEGINNING TO END IN THE MIAMI STADIUM, AND IT WAS, IN FACT, NORWAY’S ANDREAS SCHJELDERUP WHO SAW AN OPPORTUNITY AFTER HARRY KANE WAS ON THE GROUND STILL AFTER A CLUMSY CROSS, TAKING JORDAN PICKFORD UNAWARES, AND HITTING THE BACK-OF-THE-NET WHILST HE WAS SEEMINGLY MOMENTARILY DISTRACTED! (A CUNNING STRATEGY FOR THE NOTEPAD EH, THOMAS?😊) NORWAY’S PLAY WAS VERY ENERGETIC, MAKING 537 PASSES, WITH AN 86% PASS ACCURACY, 7 CORNERS, AND 13 SHOTS, WITH 5 ON-TARGET, INCLUDING ANDREUS SCHJELDERUP’S CRACKER AT 36 MINS! ENGLAND MADE 606 PASSES, WITH A 91% PASS ACCURACY, HAD 4 CORNERS, (53% POSSESSION), AND 14 SHOTS WITH 6 ON-TARGET, INCLUDING AN EQUALISER FROM JUDE BELLINGHAM AT 45 +2 MINS. AND A STUNNING STOPPAGE TIME WINNING GOAL AT 93 MINS., MEANING THAT THE MATCH ENDED IN A 2 – 1 WIN TO ENGLAND AND MORE BEER SPILLING, SWILLING AND CHEERING FROM HAPPY THREE LIONS FANS EVERYWHERE, WHO ARE, BY NOW, IN EUPHORIA AT THE THOUGHT THAT IT REALLY COULD BE “COMING HOME!” WHETHER IT DOES OR NOT, REMAINS TO BE SEEN, BUT ENGLAND ARE NOW THROUGH TO THE SEMI-FINALS, AND ONE THING IS DEFINITELY FOR SURE, ENGLAND HAVE TRIED THEIR VERY BEST IN SOME OF THE TRICKIEST OF CONDITIONS, AND WE ARE ALL EXTREMELY PROUD! CONGRATULATIONS ENGLAND!
