Jude Bellingham has once again elevated his game, leading England to a thrilling 2-1 comeback victory over Norway, securing a spot in the World Cup semi-finals for just the fourth time in history. Bellingham's remarkable performance, marked by two crucial goals, brings his tournament tally to six, positioning him alongside stars like Kylian Mbappe and Lionel Messi.

Despite the win, England faced significant challenges during the match. The team struggled at times, especially in the second half, where Norway exhibited better ball control and possession. Bellingham, however, emerged as the decisive figure, providing clarity and solutions when his team needed it most.

Key highlights include:

• Andreas Schjelderup gave Norway an early lead, capitalizing on a mistake from goalkeeper Jordan Pickford.
• Bellingham responded with his first goal just before half-time, showcasing his determination and skill by powering through two defenders.
• In extra-time, Bellingham scored again, taking advantage of a mistake from Norway's goalkeeper, sealing England's victory.

Despite the celebration, manager Thomas Tuchel faces scrutiny for tactical decisions that led to moments of weakness in the squad. The team’s dysfunction raised concerns, especially given their technical superiority and depth compared to Norway.

As Bellingham continues to shine in this World Cup, his individual brilliance not only carries England forward but also raises questions about the team's overall cohesion and strategy moving into the semi-finals.
