Norway's World Cup quarter-final defeat to England at Hard Rock Stadium in Miami was marred by two major refereeing controversies that sparked outrage from the Norwegian camp.
Jude Bellingham equalised to make it 1-1, but Norwegian goalkeeper Ørjan Håskjold Nyland protested that the ball appeared to strike a camera wire before reaching the England forward. Assistant coach Kent Bergersen said the ball hit the cable and play should have been stopped. FIFA has not commented.
Referee Clément Turpin disallowed a Torbjørn Heggem goal after a VAR review determined Erling Braut Haaland pushed Elliot Anderson before the corner was taken. NRK analyst Kristoffer Løkberg called the decision a scandal, arguing Anderson threw himself to the ground unprovoked. TV 2 analyst Simen Stamsø-Møller said such contact occurs constantly in the penalty area. An earlier incident saw Harry Kane denied a foul in the build-up to Andreas Schjelderup's opening goal for Norway in the 35th minute.
