Jude Bellingham scored twice, including a 93rd-minute winner, to propel England to a 2-1 victory over Norway in the FIFA World Cup 2026 quarterfinals in Miami.
Norway took the lead through Andreas Schjelderup in the 36th minute. Bellingham equalized just before halftime and then sealed the dramatic win deep into stoppage time.
England will now face the winner of Argentina versus Switzerland. This marks their first World Cup semi-final since 2018, with the expanded 48-team tournament hosted across the U.S., Canada, and Mexico.
The outcome influences a volatile niche in the crypto market: fan tokens. These digital assets, often tied to national teams via platforms like Socios on the Chiliz blockchain, see trading volume spike with team performance.
History shows sharp price swings around knockout matches, driven by sentiment. However, these are thin markets with low liquidity, posing significant risk for retail investors reacting to match results.
