England’s 2-1 victory in the quarterfinals of the World Cup did not come without controversy as the ball appeared to strike a camera cable (https://nypost.com/2026/07/11/sports/england-scores-world-cup-tying-goal-vs-norway-after-ball-hits-cable/)prior to Jude Bellingham’s equalizer in the first half. And Erling Haaland’s father felt Norway was extremely hard done by. “Really? Saved bye [sic] the referee,” Alfie Haaland wrote on X (https://x.com/alfiehaaland/status/2076164858077175913), as he responded to a post from journalist Henry Winter praising Bellingham’s goal. “Hope you win the WC now.

However, FIFA said there was “no evidence” that Ørjan Nyland’s goal kick hit the cable, citing the sensor in the ball. FIFA said there was “no peak ‘in the heartbeat of the ball'” in the air before it dropped to the feet of Elliot Anderson in the midfield and spurred an England counterattack. • OFFICIAL STORE Happy Birthday, USA!

FIFA’s censor technology was at the center of another contentious call in the Round of 32 as Croatia’s equalizer against Portugal in extra time was ruled out. Josko Gvardiol looked to have sent the game to penalties for Croatia, but the goal was chalked off after it was determined the ball skimmed the head of Igor Matanovic, making the goal offside due to Gvardiol’s positioning in front of Portgual’s defense.
