FIFA has rejected claims that a wire above the pitch interfered with the ball before England's first goal against Norway.
The incident occurred during a World Cup quarterfinal when a goal kick appeared to clip an overhead wire moments before Jude Bellingham found the net to level the score. Officials reviewed footage but found no evidence of any contact affecting the play. FIFA confirmed the goal stood as valid and dismissed suggestions of any external interference. The match continued without further disruption after the decision.
