England is through to the 2026 FIFA World Cup semifinals following a hard-fought 2-0 win over Norway on Saturday at Miami Stadium. Jude Bellingham scored both of England's goals, bringing his tournament tally up to six goals. Norway opened the scoring in the 36th minute on a goal from Andreas Schjelderup. Schjelderup, making just his second start of the tournament, fired a shot that caromed off the right post and into the net to stun an England team that had dominated possession to that point. Schjelderup, who set up both of Erling Haalands goals in Norways round of 16 win over Brazil, celebrated by stretching his arms wide and looking at the crowd as his teammates lifted him onto their shoulders. Meanwhile, Englands Harry Kane sat near midfield, grabbing his leg and looking toward the officials. No foul was called. Moments before Bellingham evened the score in the first half of stoppage time, a Norway goal kick resulted in the ball appearing to make contact with an aerial camera cable before landing at the feet of Englands Elliot Anderson. The ball was eventually played to Bellingham, who beat rjan Nyland with a low shot to the far post. With both teams knotted up at one goal a piece, the match went to extra time, where Bellingham scored England's match-winner in the 93rd minute. With six goals at the tournament, Bellingham has equaled the record for most goals by an English player in a single edition of the World Cup. England will advance to the semifinals to play the winner of Argentina vs. Switzerland. This marks the first time since 2018 that England has made the World Cup semifinals, and just the fourth time in its history that it has advanced this far.

The Seattle Seahawks are being sold in a formal agreement for $9.612 billion, according to a person familiar with the deal. The agreement to purchase the defending Super Bowl champions has been officially announced by the team but remains subject to approval by the NFL. NFL owners still have to ratify the final purchase agreement and are expected to meet in August to approve the deal, as reported by ESPN. The Seahawks have a lease at Lumen Field that runs through 2032 with three 10-year options. The last NFL team to be sold was the Washington Commanders in 2023. A group led by Josh Harris that includes Magic Johnson bought the team from longtime owner Dan Snyder and his family for a record $6.05 billion. Allens estate announced on Feb. 18 it had begun the process of selling the team, which is coming off its second Super Bowl victory in franchise history. Investment bank Allen & Company LLC and law firm Latham & Watkins led the sales process, which was estimated in February to continue through the offseason. The Khosia family will become the teams controlling owner, according to a social media post by the Seahawks. The Khosla family will be required to relinquish its ownership stake in the San Francisco 49ers as part of the deal. "We are honored to be entrusted as the next stewards of the Seattle Seahawks," Vinod Khosia said in a statement. "We look forward to building on the winning legacy Paul Allen created and to earning the trust of the Seahawks organization and fans everywhere." The Seahawks beat the New England Patriots 29-13 in the Super Bowl in February. The Associated Press contributed to this report.

We are diving into some fantasy football content this offseason as we look to bring in all sorts of football fans to Bucs Wire. While offensive players often dominate fantasy football discussions, IDP leagues continue to grow in popularity, offering another way for fans to enjoy the game.We will start with some rookie profiles and how they fit into the landscape of the teams that drafted them. Next up is New Orleans Saints cornerback TJ Hall.Hall quietly developed into one of the Big Ten's most dependable defensive backs during his career at Iowa. After battling through early adversity and injuries, he finished his collegiate career with Third-Team All-Big Ten honors while establishing himself as one of the nation's best run-defending cornerbacks. His physicality, football intelligence, and willingness to tackle ultimately earned him a seventh-round selection by the Saints, where he'll now look to carve out a role in a veteran secondary.Depth Chart SituationQuincy RileyIsaac YiadomTJ HallDefensive Players Around HimKool-Aid McKinstryJustin ReidJulian BlackmonPete WernerChase YoungCarl Granderson2026 Stat ProjectionsProjections provided by Mase Riney of Fantasy In Frames.5 Total Tackles0 Tackles For Loss0 Sacks0 Forced Fumbles0 Fumble Recoveries0 Interceptions0 Pass Deflections5 Fantasy PointsReason to Believe in TJ Hall in 2026: Elite run-defense traitsHall enters the league without the athletic profile of an early-round cornerback, but he brings something every coaching staff values: reliability. His willingness to attack ball carriers, finish tackles, and consistently execute his assignment helped him become one of the highest-graded run-defending cornerbacks in college football during his final season at Iowa. Those traits should immediately earn him a role on special teams while allowing the coaching staff to trust him whenever he's asked to step onto the field defensively.The biggest obstacle is opportunity. Hall joins a Saints secondary that already features established veterans at nearly every position. Quincy Riley and Kool-Aid McKinstry project as the outside starters, while Isaac Yiadom provides experienced depth ahead of Hall on the boundary. That makes defensive snaps difficult to come by unless injuries begin to pile up during the season.Long term, Hall has a chance to outperform his draft position because of the way he plays the game. He's physical, intelligent, and has steadily improved every season despite suffering setbacks early in his college career. While his limitations in man coverage likely cap his ceiling, his ability to thrive in zone concepts gives him a realistic path toward becoming valuable depth for New Orleans over the next several seasons.2026 OutlookHall is unlikely to carry fantasy value in redraft leagues as a rookie. His role should primarily consist of special teams work and providing depth behind one of the Saints' deeper cornerback groups.Because cornerback production in IDP formats depends almost entirely on playing time, Hall simply isn't expected to see enough defensive snaps to warrant a roster spot in standard leagues. Managers can safely leave him on the waiver wire unless injuries significantly reshape New Orleans' secondary.For 2026, Hall projects as a developmental player whose value lies more with the Saints than with fantasy managers. His long-term outlook is considerably brighter than his immediate fantasy projection, but patience will be required before he becomes relevant in IDP formats.This article originally appeared on Bucs Wire: IDP Rookie Profile: TJ Hall in Redraft Leagues

Jude Bellingham, the young boy who got his start at Birmingham City, is now on top of the football world with Real Madrid and the England national team. Bellingham is the all-around midfielder everyone wants on their roster. He has the ability to always be in the right place at the right time with late runs into the box to score goals; he has the ball-carrying ability of a No. 8; and he has the work rate and defensive capabilities to do the dirty work in midfield as well. A true jack of all trades in the middle of the pitch, Bellingham has become the type of player every manager appreciates because of how many different ways he can impact a game. Now in his second World Cup, Bellingham has already scored six goals, including a brace against Norway in the quarterfinals and a brace against Mexico in the Round of 16. Both performances were pivotal in Englands progression to the semifinals. Every time England has needed him most, Bellingham has come up with a big moment. He has been one of the most clutch performers at this World Cup, and whenever England has needed a moment of magic, Bellingham has answered the call. Here is a look back at how Bellingham became England's superstar midfielder: Birmingham Beginnings Bellinghams rise started at Birmingham City, where he came through the academy before making his professional debut at just 16 years old in August 2019. In his breakout 2019-20 season, Bellingham made 44 appearances across all competitions and became Birmingham Citys youngest-ever player and youngest-ever goalscorer. It did not take long for him to rise up the ranks as one of the best young prospects in England. After just one first-team season at Birmingham, Bellingham earned a move to Borussia Dortmund. Birmingham later retired his No. 22 shirt, a rare gesture for such a young player, but one that showed how highly the club viewed what he had already done and what he was going on to become. Dazzling At Dortmund Bellingham had the chance to make a safer Premier League move, as many Championship players would have done. Instead, he chose the riskier path, but the one that could potentially pay off the most: going abroad to Germany. He made the move to Borussia Dortmund, a talent factory that has developed many young players into stars. For Bellingham, it turned out to be a brilliant decision. Rather than taking the move that may have looked more pleasing initially, he chose the club that could help shape him into the player he wanted to become. Dortmund paid a record fee for a 17-year-old to sign him in July 2020, and Bellingham spent three seasons in Germany. During that time, he won the DFB-Pokal, became one of the faces of the club and was named Bundesliga Player of the Season in 2022-23. He also came painfully close to winning the Bundesliga title in his final season, only for Dortmund to lose out on the final matchday in heartbreaking fashion. But even without that league title, his three years at Dortmund opened the door for him to make the move to a European giant. Moving To Madrid Bellingham joined Real Madrid in July 2023, and his debut season could not have gotten off to a much better start. He registered 23 goals and 13 assists across all competitions in his first season and helped Real Madrid win La Liga and the Champions League. That Champions League triumph came against his former club Borussia Dortmund, with Bellingham assisting Vincius Jniors goal in the final. In that Champions League campaign, Bellingham had four goals and five assists, showing that his move to Madrid did not just put him on a bigger stage it elevated him into one of the defining players in world football. Bellingham again showed guts and ambition by choosing Real Madrid when Premier League clubs were calling his name. As an English player, it would have been easy to return home and become the face of a major Premier League club. Instead, he chose the uncomfortable path again, moving to Spain to play for one of the biggest clubs in football. That has been the theme of Bellinghams career. He is not the typical English player. He has shown multiple times that he is willing to take the unique path away from English football, develop abroad in different countries and sharpen his craft elsewhere. That started with Dortmund. Then came the ultimate move to Real Madrid, where he became just the sixth English player to play for the club after Laurie Cunningham, Steve McManaman, David Beckham, Michael Owen and Jonathan Woodgate. Trent Alexander-Arnold has since joined him at Real Madrid, but Bellingham helped reopen that pathway for English players at the Bernabu. Bellingham has shown he is willing to do the uncomfortable things to get to the very top, and now he is there. If he can help England win this World Cup, he can truly say he has completed football at just 23 years old. He has won trophies in multiple countries, won the Champions League, become a star for Real Madrid and now has England on the brink of a World Cup final. His legacy already looks strong. But if England goes all the way, it will reach a completely different level.

Alfie Haaland, the legendary soccer player and father to Norway World Cup breakout Erling Haaland, roasted the officials of his son's quarterfinal loss to England on Saturday in Miami.As his son's friend and former teammate Jude Bellingham scored England's two goals in the 2-1 victory, the elder Haaland tweeted after the match: "Well done Bellingham and referee." That, of course, is a direct dig to the officiating crew missing the ball hitting the camera cable before England's attack that led to the equalizer goal. If the VAR had caught the ball hitting the cable, England's goal would have been waved off, and Norway would have won the game at the end of regulation. Why Norway should've won World Cup match vs. England in regulationInstead, Norway fans like the elder Haaland are left with a bad taste in their mouths for this painful World Cup exit. Well done Bellingham and referee. Alfie Haaland (@alfiehaaland) July 11, 2026Whew; Erling's dad does not seem happy here.

MIAMI STADIUM England is headed to the 2026 FIFA World Cup semifinals for the second time in eight years. On a sweltering Saturday inSouth Florida, where the temperature before kickoff at 5 p.m. local time hovered higher than 90 degrees, the Three Lions came back from a 1-0 deficit to eliminate upstart Norway and its superhero of a striker, Manchester City goal-machine Erling Haaland. Two goals by English star Jude Bellingham the second in the third minute of extra time saw the Three Lions advance after Andreas Schjelderup opened the scoring against the run of play in the first half. Bellingham canceled out Schjelderups strike with a spectacular equalizer just before the intermission, then added the winner when Norwegian keeper rjan Nyland failed to corral the rebound from Morgan Rogers powerful shot. Here are my four takeaways from England's victory over Norway: 1. Jude Bellingham Was The Difference For England Halfway through the additional 30 minutes played in Miami, a quick look at the stats told the story.Both sides had 10 shots. Both had directed half of them on-target. Both teams had a goal called back earlier in the game the Three Lions because they were offside, Norway after the video assistant flagged a foul committed by Haaland just before what looked like a potential game-winner. (VAR also denied England a penalty attempt after Bellinghams second that couldve ended the contest there and then.) Still, in a game billed as a battle between Haaland and Harry Kane probably the best two pure scorers on the planet Bellingham stole the show for the second England match running. After scoring twice in last weekends thrilling 3-2 win over co-hosts Mexico at the iconic Estadio Azteca known as Mexico City Stadium during the World Cup Bellingham again came alive when his country needed him most. His first goal was a team play that he finished with a flash of individual brilliance, his second a clinic in anticipation and timing and execution. In a match where the margins were razor-thin, he is the reason England is off to Atlanta for the World Cup semifinal, while Norway is going home. 2. Still, Hats Off To Earling Haaland And Norway Never before had Norway made a World Cup quarterfinal. It hadnt even qualified for the biggest event in sports this century before finally making it back this summer. Even then and even with Haaland spearheading the attack and Arsenal captain Martin degaard running the show behind them nobody expected much from the Drillos. Norway was ranked 32nd by FIFA in January. It was 31st when this World Cup kicked off exactly a month ago. Yet on the field and off, the Norwegians were one of the best stories of this World Cup. Videos of their fans taking over Times Square and executing their choreographed "Viking Row" on escalators and New York City subways endeared them to locals there, and in Boston, in Dallas and here in Miami. Norway beat Senegal and Ivory Coast and then eliminated five-time champions Brazil. And none of it was a fluke. It may have lost to England on Saturday, but it won the hearts of neutrals all over America and in countries in every corner of the globe. These Vikings and their incredible supporters can and will row back across the Atlantic with their heads held high. 3. Argentina Or Switzerland Await For Kane & Co. Thomas Tuchels squad will have to wait a few hours to find out which opponent it'll meet in Atlanta on Wednesday, as the Three Lions face the winner of Saturdays nightcap in Kansas City between Messis Albiceleste and Switzerland, which reached the quarterfinals for the first time since 1954. Those neutral fans mentioned above will be hoping its the former. Despite being an ocean apart, Argentina and England have a long and storied rivalry on the global stage. Diego Maradonas famous "Goal of the Century" slalom and infamous "Hand of God" strike in 1986 came in the same quarterfinal game vs. England. Argentina also knocked the Three Lions out in the quarters in 1998 following a red card by David Beckham. Four years later, Beckham the current Inter Miami co-owner who was in the house on Saturday scored a penalty that helped beat Argentina en route to La Albicelestes shocking group stage exit. Tensions between the sides havent been limited to soccer, either, as the two countries fought a 74-day war in 1982 over the control of the Falkland Islands off Argentinas coast. Getting Switzerland would be better, then. Its not just that the Swiss don't have a game-changer like Haaland or Messi; at No. 14, they're also the lowest-ranked team remaining in the competition by a considerable distance. 4. Is This Finally Englands Year? Its been 60 years this month since the country that invented the sport won its only World Cup. Its also the only final theyve ever appeared in. The Three Lions have also never won a European Championship, although they were the losing finalists in 2021 (to Italy) and Spain (2024) at the last two Euros. Now, under German manager Tuchel, theyll play for the right to get back to the biggest title match there is. Its only Englands fourth trip to the semis ever. The last two didnt go well; Croatia knocked the Three Lions out in 2018. Back in 1990, they lost to eventual champ West Germany on penalties. Despite the English Premier League establishing itself as soccers top domestic circuit, thats as close as the countrys national team has come in the last six decades. On Wednesday in Atlanta, well see they can get one step closer to reaching the mountaintop and to football coming home.
