England are set to take on Argentina in their fourth World Cup semi-final after edging past Norway 2-1 in extra time on Saturday.

The back-to-back European Championship finalists had to dig deep in the humid conditions of Florida, but Jude Bellingham remained composed in the Miami heat to seal victory, sending supporters in the stadium and across the UK into celebration.

Wednesday’s encounter with Argentina in Atlanta will mark England’s seventh appearance in the semi-finals of a major international tournament, excluding the 1968 European Championship when only four teams advanced to the finals.

Here’s a look back at how England have fared in their previous semi-final outings.

Portugal entered the semi-final at Wembley with a perfect record, having scored 14 goals in the tournament, seven of them courtesy of the brilliant Eusebio.

However, Bobby Charlton netted in both halves, and though Eusebio converted a late penalty, it proved to be only a consolation. The rest, as the saying goes, is history.

England players Mark Wright (on the ground) and Peter Beardsley team up to stop Olaf Thon of West Germany during the 1990 FIFA World Cup semi-final.

Paul Gascoigne’s tears and the beginning of England’s penalty shootout misfortunes became the lasting memories of their biggest match since defeating the same opponents in the final 24 years earlier.

Gary Lineker equalised Andreas Brehme’s deflected goal at the Stadio delle Alpi, but in the penalty shootout, Stuart Pearce’s attempt was saved and Chris Waddle fired over the crossbar.

Once again, a familiar rival and outcome awaited as 30 years of disappointment continued at Wembley.

Alan Shearer’s early header gave England the lead, but Stefan Kuntz quickly levelled. Gascoigne came agonisingly close to scoring the winner in extra time, yet the sides remained deadlocked after 120 minutes.

Gareth Southgate missed his penalty in the Euro 1996 semi-final shootout between England and Germany.

Incredibly, the first 10 penalties in the shootout were converted before Southgate’s miss proved decisive.

Now the England manager, Southgate guided his side back to the semi-finals of a major competition again, but despite Kieran Trippier’s early free-kick raising hopes, Croatia struck back.

Ivan Perisic equalised midway through the second half at Moscow’s Luzhniki Stadium, and Mario Mandzukic’s extra-time goal sent England out in heartbreak.

When Mikkel Damsgaard’s free-kick put Denmark ahead, England fans feared another collapse, but Simon Kjaer’s own goal forced extra time at Wembley.

This time, there was no penalty shootout as Harry Kane followed up his own saved penalty to score the winner, breaking England’s semi-final curse. However, more spot-kick agony awaited in the final against Italy.

Ollie Watkins fired England into the Euro 2024 final with a dramatic late strike against the Netherlands.

After Harry Kane’s penalty cancelled out a spectacular opener from Xavi Simons, substitutes Cole Palmer and Watkins combined for the decisive goal. Yet, England would once again fall short in the final, losing to Spain.
