Summary
Jude Bellingham's extra-time rebound sealed England's 2-1 quarter-final win after Thomas Tuchel's late reshuffle finally swung momentum against Norway in Miami.
Two half-time substitutions meant to make England more attacking instead blunted ball progression, with Declan Rice limited by illness and Bellingham pushed deeper than Tuchel wanted.
The turning point came around the 70th minute when Reece James moved into midfield, then Djed Spence and Morgan Rogers added energy; Rogers' shot created the winner and Spence drew praise from Harry Kane.
England survived a disallowed Norway goal and a draining 120 minutes in heavy humidity, then advanced to a semi-final against Argentina with Tuchel still warning his side must play better.
