    'Everyone Saw What Happened': Norway Coach Says Ball Struck Cable Before England Equaliser

    By IANS News July 12, 2026 • 10:52 AM View: 133
    FIFA World Cup: Norway’s head coach Stale Solbakken reflected on the controversy around Jude Bellingham's equaliser in the FIFA World Cup quarter-final and said it’s pretty clear that the ball hit the overhead cable, but the referee said he didn’t see it himself and didn't get any message about it.

    Norway goalkeeper Orjan Nyland’s goal kick appeared to clearly strike a camera wire late in the first half, allowing England to quickly surge forward on the attack and Bellingham scored the tying goal. Norway's goalkeeper Nyland and Solbakken protested to the referee; their protests went unheard.

    Replays appeared to show a Norway goal kick hitting a cable in the buildup, although FIFA said there was "no evidence that the ball touched the overhead wire and changed the movement of the ball."
