3D Replay Suggests Spidercam Wire Deflected Goal in England vs Norway Clash

3D Replay Suggests Spidercam Wire Deflected Goal in England vs Norway Clash

Norway’s World Cup run ended in a 2-1 quarter-final loss to England but left fans furious over a controversial equaliser. Advanced 3D broadcast analysis appears to show the ball grazing an overhead spidercam cable just before Jude Bellingham’s first-half strike. FIFA’s official sensor data recorded no impact, so the goal stood. According to tournament rules, any ball touching the wire should have stopped play immediately and resulted in a dropped ball. Norway manager Ståle Solbakken and midfielder Sander Berge voiced their frustration at the decision. A second Norwegian goal was also disallowed by VAR for an Erling Haaland foul, compounding their sense of injustice.

Could the spidercam cable actually have tipped the ball in, or is this just a trick of angles in slow motion?

I was wondering that too—looks like the wire did give it a slight push, no? Quite the twist!

This 3D replay fit be misleading if the cable's blur got magnified. Hard to trust slow-mo distortions.

I'm not convinced that a single cable graze changed the match outcome so dramatically.

Broadcasters should cross-check any goal decision against multiple camera feeds and post-match admit any broadcasting anomalies that affected results.
