The International Football Association confirmed there is no evidence to support claims that England's equalizer in their 2-1 extra-time win over Norway in the 2026 World Cup quarter-final should have been disallowed as the ball appeared to hit a camera wire during the buildup. Norway players protested to French referee Clement Turpin after Jude Bellingham's goal in first-half stoppage time gave England a 1-1 draw at Hard Rock Stadium in Miami early Sunday. Footage showed that during the goal kick taken by goalkeeper Orjan Nylund, from which the play leading to England's goal began, the ball's trajectory seemed to suddenly change before landing in the path of England midfielder Elliott Anderson. According to the laws of the game, that should have led to play being stopped and a dropped ball, but FIFA clarified that a sensor embedded in the ball, the same technology used to disallow a goal in Croatia's loss to Portugal earlier in the tournament, showed no indication of the ball contacting the wire. The statement said: 'Before England's goal in the 45+2 minute against Norway, the sensor in the connected ball did not show any spike in the ball's pulse while it was in the air, therefore there is no evidence that the ball touched the overhead wire and changed its trajectory.'
