England’s run at the 2026 World Cup continues, but their quarterfinal match against Norway has been marred by controversy. A goal scored by Jude Bellingham has been called into question after it appeared that the ball struck one of the FIFA skycam cables before falling to England’s Anthony Gordon.
Controversy Over the Goal
According to FIFA rules, play should have been stopped and a dropped-ball resulted. Former referee Mark Clattenburg noted that this was a play that could have been reviewed by VAR, but no review followed. The match remains tied at 1-1, but the non-review of the goal is likely to be a topic of discussion.
