Bellingham Brace Downs Norway, Messi Silent as England and Argentina Clash in Semis
England rallied past Norway in a thrilling quarter-final, thanks to Jude Bellingham’s brace that overturned an early Andreas Schjelderup strike. The Real Madrid midfielder proved decisive again, firing home in the 45th minute and then netting the extra-time winner. In Kansas, Argentina edged Switzerland 3-1 despite Lionel Messi’s first goalless World Cup outing in nine games. Alexis Mac Allister struck early, Dan Ndoye levelled, but Breel Embolo’s red card for simulation shifted momentum. Julian Alvarez and Lautaro Martinez sealed the win in extra time. With those victories, England and Argentina set up a mouthwatering semi-final showdown. Messi remains locked on eight goals alongside Kylian Mbappé in the Golden Boot race, but Argentina’s title defence rolls on.
