Norway's Haaland benched in World Cup loss to England

Erling Haaland did not finish Norway's 2-1 World Cup defeat to England on July 11. Norway's head coach Ståle Solbakken explained that Haaland was subbed off at the start of the second half of extra time due to fatigue and a dead leg. Prior to his substitution, Haaland struggled to impact the match, marking his first scoreless international appearance in 636 days. Norway's only goal came in the first half before England's Jude Bellingham leveled early in the second half, followed by the game-winner in stoppage time. Despite the loss, Haaland expressed pride in Norway's World Cup run after a 28-year absence from the tournament.
