WC PROGNOSTICATION: Will surging Norway beat the resilient England team on Saturday?
58% of users predicted YES — the community missed this one. 31 predictions cast.
England defeated Norway 2-1 in extra time to reach the World Cup semifinals for the first time since 2018, in a quarterfinal played in Miami on Saturday, July 11, 2026. Norway's Andreas Schjelderup opened the scoring, but Jude Bellingham equalized before halftime and then scored the winning goal in the third minute of extra time -- both of England's goals. Norway also had what would have been a second goal disallowed after a VAR review for a foul in the buildup involving Erling Haaland.
Norway entered the match off a run that included eliminating Brazil in the previous round, a match in which Haaland scored twice, fueling the "surging Norway" framing ahead of the England match. England's comeback, powered by Bellingham's two-goal performance, ended that run and sent England through to the semifinals.
The Predict Six community leaned toward a Norway win, with 58 percent predicting yes, but the outcome resolved no as England came from behind to win in extra time.
