One team’s win is another team’s robbery. England’s 2-1 victory in the quarterfinals of the World Cup did not come without controversy as the ball appeared to strike a camera cable prior to Jude Bellingham’s equalizer in the first half. And Erling Haaland’s father felt Norway was extremely hard done by. “Really?
