Norwegian striker Erling Haaland has revealed that he has achieved one of his personal goals: making his national team known to the world. Norway head coach Stale Solbakken lamented the team's bad luck.

Norway, considered a dark horse, saw their World Cup 2026 campaign end in the quarter-finals after losing to England in extra time 1-2 on July 11.

After the match, Haaland, who scored 7 goals in his first World Cup tournament, reflected on his feelings: "We feel proud of our excellent performance, and it has united the people of Norway. There are only positive feelings and joy that we have received in our country and here as well."

"It's difficult to think about other things right now. This has been an incredible event. You have to experience this for yourself. That was my goal."

"I wanted to make Norway known to the world and build our reputation as one of the best teams in the world. I think we have already made Norway known to the world here."

Norway head coach Stale Solbakken stated: "I feel sorry for every player. This is the highest level of sport—the most intense and brutal. We were fortunate to beat Brazil, but today we weren't that fortunate. We had many chances to beat Brazil, but not today."

"Sometimes you're lucky. We were lucky to beat Brazil, but today we weren't. The chances didn't go our way. But that's life."

English football legend David Beckham posted a message following the England national team's successful advance to the semifinals of the 2026 FIFA World Cup. England narrowly defeated Norway 2-1 in extra time, securing their place in the final four of the 2026 World Cup. After the match concluded, midfield legend David Beckham, who was in attendance, posted a photo with the message: "What a special moment this is in Miami. I am so proud of the team tonight for reaching the World Cup final and being able to celebrate this moment with my family is truly special. Thank you to the England football team for giving our country such an incredible moment."

England captain Jude Bellingham played the hero with a brace, leading the Three Lions to a 2-1 comeback victory over Norway in the World Cup 2026 quarterfinals on July 11. Bellingham's two goals brought his tournament tally to six in six matches, making him England's leading scorer.

After the match, the Real Madrid star said: "Determination, perseverance—even when things don't go as planned, we find a way to win again. Whether it's 90 or 120 minutes, we give everything we have. Anyone ready to play steps up and performs brilliantly. I'm proud of this team again in the World Cup semifinal."

Bellingham added: "This is a victory for everyone. The whole country has won. All our supporters, the players, the staff—thank you all. This is a major turning point for everyone."

On his crucial go-ahead goal, he said: "It was a very important goal. It got us through to the semifinal. It was really significant."

Led by Vice Chairman Wichit Shinvongvorkul along with board members Niphand Chokphiromwongsa and Chankij Wittayavarakorn, the initiative mobilizes foundation volunteers under the direction of Narit Wittayavarakorn, alongside celebrity volunteers including Jack Famchun (Chalermpol Tikhumphondheerwongse), Meaws (Orpasyan Suksai), Jiaojao (Kwanchai Payap), Kung (Kritsana Saekoew), and Chayakorn Sudkla.

A disturbing health incident serves as a stark reminder for parents to maintain proper hygiene with their children. Facebook user Sirinthon Homnak shared an account of a 2-year-old admitted to the emergency room with over 10 bouts of vomiting. The child appeared exhausted and pale. While preparing an IV drip, the child vomited again—this time with what appeared to be a string-like object protruding from the mouth, wriggling visibly. When staff pulled it out with cloth, they discovered a 15-centimeter roundworm. While waiting, a second worm emerged. The poster expressed shock at how many hundreds of parasites might be inhabiting the child's stomach to pass through the mouth. The post emphasizes: "Before eating or playing, make sure children wash their hands properly."

Roundworms (Ascaris lumbricoides) are the most commonly found parasites in humans. Infection occurs when parasite eggs contaminated in soil, water, or food are swallowed. Adult worms live in the small intestine and can grow up to 20-40 centimeters long. Heavy infections may cause intestinal obstruction or parasites migrating to other organs.

Common symptoms include abdominal pain, nausea, vomiting, bloating, diarrhea, and loss of appetite. If larvae migrate to the lungs, patients may experience cough or fever.

Prevention methods include: washing hands thoroughly with soap and water before eating and after using the bathroom; washing vegetables and fruits before consumption; drinking clean water; and eating freshly cooked food. Keep children's fingernails short to prevent parasite eggs from accumulating under nails. If infection is suspected, consult a doctor or visit a healthcare facility immediately.

England captain Harry Kane revealed that his team advanced to the World Cup semi-finals without playing at their best. England narrowly defeated Norway 2-1 in extra time during the quarter-finals of the 2026 FIFA World Cup on the morning of July 12 Thailand time. Following the match, Kane told BBC Sport: "Our message going into today was to go all in. I've seen us in training and I've seen the quality, especially in the final third, but we haven't quite been able to put it all together. Yet we've reached the World Cup semi-final without playing our best football." He continued, "If we can find it in Wednesday's match, it could be the difference between winning and losing this tournament. We'll enjoy it, rest up, and prepare for the next game in the coming days."
