England has secured a coveted spot in the FIFA World Cup 2026 semifinals after a dramatic 2-1 extra-time victory over Norway in the quarterfinals. Midfielder Jude Bellingham was instrumental in the win, scoring both of England's goals, including the crucial equalizer before halftime and the decisive winner in extra time. His exceptional performance, which brought his tournament tally to six goals, has been key to England reaching the last four for the fourth time in their history.
Meanwhile, the German national football team is set to welcome Jürgen Klopp as its new head coach, with an agreement in principle reached with the German Football Association (DFB). Klopp, 59, is expected to sign a contract through 2030, succeeding Julian Nagelsmann following Germany's early exit from the 2026 World Cup. The former Liverpool manager had been serving as Red Bull's head of global football since leaving club management.
