Did Ball Hit Spidercam Before England Goal? Snicko Says Not - Norway Unsure

12 July 2026

Norway's World Cup journey came to a disappointing end in the quarter-finals, losing to England in a match that has sparked a contentious debate over a key moment. The focus of the controversy centers on Jude Bellingham's equalizing goal, which Norway believes should not have stood. They argue that the ball struck the spidercam before entering the net, a claim that was dismissed by Snicko technology, which found no evidence to support their assertion. As the Norwegian players left the pitch, frustration was evident, with many feeling that the decision was pivotal in their World Cup aspirations. England, on the other hand, celebrated their progression to the semi-finals, but the incident has left a bitter taste for Norway, who exit the tournament with a sense of injustice.
