Norway boss questions FIFA after controversial moment in England World Cup defeat

Norway manager Stale Solbakken questioned the build-up to England's equaliser after his side's World Cup dream ended in dramatic fashion, insisting the ball struck an overhead camera cable before Jude Bellingham's crucial goal.The Three Lions recovered from a goal down to defeat Norway 2-1 after extra time in Miami, with Bellingham scoring twice to send Thomas Tuchel's side into the World Cup semi-finals against Argentina.However, Solbakken was left frustrated by an incident moments before England's leveller, believing the flight of the ball had been altered by one of the wires supporting FIFA's overhead camera system.The controversy centred on a clearance from Norway goalkeeper Orjan Nyland late in the first half. TRENDING Stories Videos Your Say Solbakken claimed the ball changed direction after making contact with the cable before dropping kindly for an England player, allowing the Three Lions to launch the attack that eventually ended with Bellingham finding the net.The ball fell straight down from the sky, so it changed its direction, Solbakken said after the match.It caused a misunderstanding among our players, and it was in a bad moment for us.But we can't do anything about that. I don't think we will play the game again. So that's how it is.The Norway boss revealed his coaching staff immediately raised the issue with match officials during the interval, only to be informed that the referee had not seen the incident and VAR had not intervened.During the match, FIFA issued its own explanation, insisting the governing body's technology had detected no contact between the ball and the overhead cable.According to FIFA, data from the tournament's Connected Ball system showed no evidence that the ball had touched anything while it was in the air before England scored.Despite that explanation, Solbakken remained unconvinced.LATEST SPORTS NEWS:Erling Haaland's father fires furious response to Roy Keane as feud explodes after England win over NorwayArgentina make unusual World Cup request before England World Cup semi-final showdownFA make Thomas Tuchel and Jude Bellingham stance clear after disagreement following England's win over NorwayIf there's been no sound or there has been nothing there in the chip, what can I say against that? he said.But the ball drops down straight from heaven.Everyone said, including Orjan, who is the goalie, and the guy who's going to receive the ball.So I think it's pretty clear that it did it. It was a strange thing.Despite his frustration, Solbakken refused to blame the incident entirely for Norway's elimination and instead urged people to remember his team's achievements during the tournament.The Scandinavians reached the World Cup quarter-finals for the first time since 1998 after producing one of the shocks of the competition by knocking out Brazil in the last 16.I will not blame that, Solbakken said.But everybody on the bench reacted spontaneously because the ball just fell down in front of them.So I don't think there's any doubt that it touched something.But unfortunately, we have to live with this.So we will talk about the wire until we are all dead.I hope we can think about and talk about other things.That's my sincere hope. I hope that this will not be the story about this team. It shouldn't be.England manager Thomas Tuchel admitted he had not noticed the incident during the game but backed the technology being used by FIFA.I mean, there is a chip in the ball which can tell you if a hair touches it, Tuchel said. So they should be able to tell you if it happened.I was not aware of it. I didn't see it. Our Standards: The GB News Editorial Charter
