Three days of FIFA World Cup 2026 quarter-finals and every single one has delivered non-stop drama. Day 3 gave us Bellingham punishing a goalkeeper error in extra time to send England to only their fourth ever World Cup semi-final. And Argentina — somehow, again — survived a determined Swiss fightback to win 3-1 in extra time and reach their third straight FIFA 2026 semi-final.
Two matches. Two extra time finishes. The semi-finals are set.
England 2-1 Norway: VAR Chaos. Keeper Error. Bellingham Scores. England Through.
This match had absolutely everything. VAR controversy. A disallowed goal. A disallowed penalty. A goalkeeper error that decided the whole thing. And Jude Bellingham — who seems to score in every single match that matters — doing it twice in one night.
Norway drew first blood. Schjelderup drove through the England defence and finished calmly past Pickford. 1-0 Norway and the whole stadium went quiet. But England responded almost immediately — deep in first-half stoppage time, Bellingham drove into the box and forced a save that spilled straight back to him. He bundled it over the line. 1-1 at halftime.
The second half was frantic and controversial. Pickford made a brilliant save to deny a Haaland header that looked destined for the corner. Then Norway thought they had scored when Heggem converted a rebound — only for VAR to spot a Haaland push on Elliot Anderson in the build-up. Goal ruled out. Haaland was furious. Norway felt completely robbed. England then had a penalty claim turned down by VAR too. The match felt like it could explode at any moment.
Extra time. Both sides were exhausted and neither able to find the decisive goal — until the 93rd minute of the whole match. Substitute Morgan Rogers struck a long-range shot from distance that Nyland fumbled completely, spilling the ball straight in front of him. Bellingham arrived first — as he always seems to — and tapped it into the open net. 2-1 England. His fifth goal of the tournament. His second of the night.
England held on. Norway is out. Haaland finishes with nine goals in five matches — one of the great individual FIFA 2026 performances. England faces Argentina in Atlanta on Wednesday. Messi vs Bellingham. That match is already the most anticipated of the entire tournament.

Argentina 3-1 Switzerland: Argentina's Relentless Pressure Rewarded With Another Semi-Final Place
Argentina's FIFA 2026 campaign now has a clear pattern — near-disaster, drama, survival. Switzerland pushed them all the way but the defending champions found a way through once again.
Messi crossed from a corner in the 10th minute and Mac Allister attacked it brilliantly at the near post, looping a header into the far corner. 1-0 Argentina. But Switzerland was not done. Dan Ndoye slipped in behind the Argentina defence in the 67th minute and finished calmly under Emiliano Martínez. 1-1. Switzerland were level and looking genuinely dangerous.
The match shifted in the 78th minute when Switzerland had a player sent off for a reckless challenge — ten men against Argentina's relentless pressure for the rest of the match. Switzerland held on bravely through the final whistle and into extra time.
Then Julián Álvarez broke the deadlock in the 112th minute — receiving the ball on the left wing, cutting inside and curling a beautiful shot into the top corner from the edge of the box. 2-1. Switzerland was broken. Lautaro Martínez finished it off in the 121st minute — firing a right-footed shot from a rebound into the bottom corner. 3-1. Argentina are through.
They face England in Atlanta on Wednesday. Messi vs Bellingham. Defending champions vs England's most exciting generation in decades. That is not just a semi-final. That is a once-in-a-generation match.
