Jude Bellingham defended England's performance after head coach Thomas Tuchel criticised the team's display following the 2-1 extra-time victory over Norway in the FIFA World Cup 2026 quarter-finals. While Tuchel admitted England "got lucky" and needed to improve, Bellingham insisted Norway's quality should not be underestimated, pointing to stars like Erling Haaland, Martin Ødegaard, Antonio Nusa and Alexander Sørloth. The Real Madrid midfielder, who scored both goals in England's comeback win, urged greater respect for the Scandinavian side as the Three Lions prepare for the semi-finals.
