Erling Haaland’s father has criticized the officiating after Norway was eliminated by England in the World Cup. England triumphed with a 2-1 extra-time victory, thanks to Jude Bellingham, who scored both goals. He equalized just before halftime after Andreas Schjelderup opened the scoring, then netted the decisive goal in the 93rd minute.

However, this match was marred by controversy. Key moments included:

• Norway's second goal being ruled out by VAR, which determined that Erling Haaland had fouled Elliot Anderson in the build-up.
• A questionable equalizer for England, where a goal kick from Orjan Nyland appeared to hit a cable above the pitch, affecting the ball's trajectory. Despite this, VAR did not intervene, and FIFA insisted no error occurred, citing their “snicko” technology.

In a post on X, Alfie Haaland acknowledged Bellingham’s performance but expressed his frustration, stating: “Well done Bellingham and referee.”

Despite the contentious decisions, Stale Solbakken, Norway’s manager, chose to focus on his team’s effort, expressing pride in their performance: “There are many situations today... We just want to wish England the best of luck.”

With this victory, England will advance to face either Argentina or Switzerland in the semi-finals.
