Fresh from his heroic brace against Mexico in the last round, Jude Bellingham was England’s superstar yet again, smashing home another double to down Norway.

Thomas Tuchel’s men now have only a few days to rest and recover before they head to Atlanta for the semi-finals.

Who do England face in the quarter-finals?

England beat Norway 2-1 in the quarter-finals of the 2026 World Cup.

They will now be in semi-final action at the stunning Mercedes-Benz Stadium in Atlanta at 8pm on Wednesday, July 15.

The 71,000-capacity arena is indoor with air-conditioning so the elements won’t be a factor like England’s last two games.

However, defending World Cup champions Argentina could await.

Lionel Messi’s side are the highest-ranked team on the Three Lions’ side of the draw, and came from two goals down to beat Egypt 3-2 last time out.

The World Cup holders face off against Switzerland, who beat Colombia, for a chance to reach the semi-finals at 2am UK time on Sunday morning.

Should England win the semi-final, they will face France or Spain in the final at the Metlife Stadium in New York at 8pm on Sunday, July 19.
