Overview
- England overcame Norway 2-1 after extra time with Jude Bellingham scoring twice to send the Three Lions into the semi-finals, a result reported on Saturday.
- Argentina beat 10‑man Switzerland 3-1 after extra time when Julián Álvarez struck in the 112th minute and Lautaro Martínez added a late third to seal victory.
- Breel Embolo was shown a second yellow and sent off following a VAR mistaken‑identity review that rescinded a yellow against Leandro Paredes and then ruled Embolo had simulated.
- The Argentine Football Federation said it detected possible unauthorised sending from an institutional email account and asked recipients to disregard unusual messages that criticised refereeing.
- FIFA’s chief refereeing officer publicly defended officials even as broadcasters flagged a possible sky‑cam cable contact before England’s equaliser, and the string of VAR decisive calls has increased pressure for clearer replay rules and stronger governance ahead of Wednesday’s semi-final.
