Norway coach says team must 'accept' England's controversial World Cup goal

Norway coach Ståle Solbakken said his team had to “accept” England’s controversial World Cup goal after a ball contact appeared to involve overhead camera wiring. In Miami Gardens, Florida, Jude Bellingham’s equaliser came 1-1 following the unusual buildup, but Solbakken acknowledged it was “tough” despite calling it part of football. FIFA later stated the chip in the Connected Ball recorded no “heartbeat” peak indicating the ball touched the wire. The chip’s controversy had precedent, after it was used in the Croatia-Portugal match to rule out a tying goal. Solbakken urged media not to focus on the wire. Bellingham also criticised Thomas Tuchel’s post-match comments, while praising Norway’s attacking environment.
