England are one win away from reaching the World Cup final - their first since 1966.

They will take on Argentina or Switzerland on Wednesday in Atlanta for the chance to play France or Spain in Sunday's showpiece.

It wasn't pretty, but it's that phrase once again - job done.

England

England head coach Thomas Tuchel, speaking to BBC Radio 5 Live: "It was very humid. I think quite lucky that the sun was not out. You could see we struggled. 120 minutes and they climbed it [mountain] again. Full credit to the team spirit and to the belief. They find ways to win, and they dig it out. It is amazing. Full credit and unbelievable."

On Jude Bellingham: "It is what very good players do. Show up in tough moments. He scores decisive goals for us. He shows up again and again. Full credit to him and another decisive performance. Absolutely brilliant."

On progressing: "The story rolls on thanks to our spirit, belief and the spirit of the substitutes who are always ready to have an impact. They did it again. Still a lot to improve. No need to say sorry. We have made it and that was job done."

I think I'd rather face Argentina. I think Switzerland are really organised in how they play and I think they could be a tricky game for England.

Argentina have just taken the lead against Switzerland in their semi-final thanks to Alexis Mac Allister.

You can follow that one here to find out who England will meet in the last four.

England have progressed to the semi-final in four major tournaments since 2018, as many as they had reached in their history prior to the 2018 World Cup.

It might not have been pretty - but shall we just be excited that this England team have hopefully got levels to go? I reckon so.

England would have been punished by other teams tonight. We mentioned Sorloth's chance to play in Haaland and they would have been 2-0 down at half time.

The quality and intensity has to improve, especially if they are coming up against a team that want to be compact. They have to move the ball with intensity, which we saw with Bellingham's first goal.

On the other hands sometimes you have to suffer. In a World Cup game, there's the heat and humidity, and when they had that chance, they took it.

England

England manager Thomas Tuchel speaking to BBC Sport: "It's an unbelievable achievement, we again found a way to win against a lot of obstacles. Being one down, it was not a given. Full credit to the team mentality and spirit, it's on the highest level.

"I still think we need to play better, overall I didn't see a high quality game. It was difficult to get going, find our rhythm and be clinical. We went behind which made things difficult. We conceded another goal, but in general you are lucky if a goal is overturned. We had luck on our side in the right moments. We scored late. We deserve to be there [in the semi-finals], but as a football coach I thin we need to play better.

"It is what it is. I don't have the reason now, otherwise I would have done something before. The substitutes had a lot of quality today and helped us. We could rely on top individual players - like Harry Kane is delivering, Jude [Bellingham] is in world class form and is helping us out in this moment. That's fair enough, but as a team we need to play better."

Can England win the World Cup by relying on individuals? : "Everyone who is in the quarter-final or semi-final can win the World Cup."

On Declan Rice being replaced at half-time: "It was neither [illness or injury]. We wanted a more offensive change. We knew Declan would not last 90 minutes, nor 120 minutes, so we took him off."

On feeling downbeat: "I need to digest the game, I am not sure how to feel at the moment. I understand what we did, how big the mentality and performance and result is. But also I am a football coach and responsible for performances, and I want our team to play better."

We all know analysing the game that they didn't play well enough to go and win the tournament. But there's something about getting over the line. I go back to Real Madrid a couple of years ago when they beat PSG, Manchester City and Chelsea in the dying moments of the game. It's just that bit of England's game that I'm enjoying at the moment where they can find a way to win.

Yes, they have to improve and the manager is completely right in what he's saying. And Wayne's [Rooney] right in that he's sending out a message. He knows that wasn't good enough.

Celebrate tonight, you get the job done but there's loads of work to do if you want to win the World Cup.

England

England midfielder Jude Bellingham speaking to BBC Sport: "It was an England masterclass in a different way, not one of them where we pop the ball and have a million chances, but it was a masterclass with fight and spirit. I'm so proud of the team, what we managed to produce. I know people will say we didn't play the best, but people don't understand how difficult those kind of games are.

"In Miami the heat was unbelievable, the humidity, by the end we were dead. Credit to the lads they left everything out there, we will have to find it again to go for Switzerland or Argentina.

"I always think what changes whether you are 1-0 or 2-0 down, you always still want to score the next goal. So I'm calm among the emotions and things that go through my head. I trust my ability, but more so I trust the ability of my team-mates and the work and effort they put in.

"I'm enjoying my football, I'm blessed to be in the position to help my country win football games. That's all I can say. I don't care if it's the best or whatever, I don't care, as long as we keep winning games that's all that matters.

"We can be proud of this achievement, see who we are playing by the time we land, then tomorrow we go again to prepare for that one."

I go back to Thomas Tuchel's interview after the game and I slightly disagree with Micah [Richards] and Alan [Shearer] on it because I think he's done that purposefully. I think he's done it to show everyone that the performance wasn't good enough, to show the players the performance wasn't good enough. He knows if you get to a semi-final or final that a performance playing like that isn't good enough to get through.

The opposition gets greater than what Norway are and I think he has done that purposefully. When you come up against a Spain, France, Argentina or Switzerland, who are a big threat in this tournament as well, you can't afford to not play well. What they'll do is take the ball off you, make you work and punish you. Norway didn't punish England with the opportunities they had.

It's very clever from Tuchel again it's sort of the first time we've seen that throughout this tournament.

The players deserve a huge amount of credit going to Mexico in that climate and the recovery to get through this game in Miami in that heat. But tonight's performance is a warning sign for the next game.

England

England captain Harry Kane, speaking to BBC Radio 5 Live: "The heat, the humidity. For me, it was tougher than the Mexico game in that sense. We showed quality at times but still not enough. Ultimately, we found a way to win. It wasn't our prettiest performance, we know, but we're into a semi-final of a World Cup. The difference again was Jude with the two goals at the perfect time. That is what got over the line. I think we could have played better, especially with the ball.

"I think when you see us train and see the ability we have in the team with the ball. The boss talks about having that freedom and to show that on the biggest stage, we still haven't done that. We showed it in glimpses. Sometimes that is football - we are still doing amazingly well. We have match winners in the team at both ends. We need to enjoy this and recover well and look forward to a big semi-final.

"It has been an extremely successful era for our national team. We want to get over the line. That is the missing piece now. We're knocking on the door. It is a big week. We have eight days left of this tournament. We have been together for six weeks and we have shown every bit of desire for the badge. As always, we just go again."

Norway's Martin Odegaard: "It's difficult. I feel that we were so close. We did what we could, maybe we were in a low block in the first half but they didn't do anything and we got ahead. Then we conceded two easy goals and didn't get much help from the referee. The margins went against us and we had a bit of bad luck.

"But it's been fantastic, it's been a fairytale. We can be proud of ourselves. The whole world is talking about us, a quarter-final in the World Cup is a huge achievement. Now we have a taste of it."

On the ball hitting the spider cam cable before Jude Bellingham's first goal: "I didn't see it myself. Margins were not in our favour today with some of the decisions. Maybe you need that in games like this."

On Haaland's foul for the disallowed goal: "I haven't seen it. Margins were not in our favour."

Norway goalscorer Andreas Schjelderup: "Unfortunately the margins were against us, the odds were against us. Some decisions by the referee were a bit bitter. If we lost fully it would have been a bit different."

Norway

Norway striker Erling Haaland: "We are touched by the fact we have done so well and it's brought people together in Norway. There is a lot of positivity in the joy we have had in our country and here as well.

"It's difficult to think over things right now. It's quite an insane event. You really do have to experience this. That has been my goal.

"I would like to put Norway on the map and establish us as one of the best teams in the world. I think we have sold Norway on the map here.

A lot of Haaland's goals are one touch finishes, so he needs that service. When the service isn't supplied that is an issue for him to score goals. You have to credit the defence, Guehi was physical against him, he put himself against Stones a few times but the pass wasn't quite coming through to him. So credit to the back line and the team in general for stopping him having any real opportunities in the box.

Norway managerStale Solbakken: "I feel sorry for the lads. This is top level sports at it's best or it's most gruesome. We were lucky against Brazil, today we were not so lucky. We had margins go on our favour against Brazil, but not today.

"Sometimes you're lucky. We were lucky against Brazil. Today we were not. The margins were not in our favour, but that's life."

On Erling Haaland's foul and the disallowed Norway goal: "These things happen. We just want to wish England the best of luck."

England are the first team to keep Erling Haaland from scoring in a competitive international match since Austria on 13 October 2024 - 636 days ago.

England

England midfielder Jude Bellingham speaking to ITV on what got England over the line today: "Character, perseverance even when things weren't working, we found a way to win the game again. Whether its in 90, 120 minutes, we'll give everything we've got. You saw it then - whoever was ready to come on came on and smashes it, I'm so proud of this team again, in a World Cup semi-final.

"It's a victory for everyone. The whole country wins, everyone who is behind us, all the players and staff. Credit to everyone, it's a huge shift for everyone."

On his winning goal: "It's an important goal, it's put us through to the semis it's right up there.

"I told him [Morgan Rogers] to keep going, I knew he was going to make an impact. I've scored loads of those types of goal, the goalkeeper had a worldy but was unlucky to be fair the way it popped up but I was lucky to be there to put it in."

On the performances of team-mates who haven't played at major tournaments before: "Warriors, they didn't look like they were new to it. And whoever came on, top level.

"You don't know the mentality and how much heart they have until situations like that."
