Madueke Under Fire After England Win | MLS News

England stunned Norway 2-1 in extra time thanks to Jude Bellingham’s brace, booking their spot against Argentina—but the first half was a disaster for Noni Madueke, who was subbed off at halftime after a woefully ineffective performance. Zlatan Ibrahimović didn’t hold back, calling Madueke’s play “walking around” and suggesting even a stray cable would’ve done better than him. With just one successful dribble, one decent cross, and zero chances created, Madueke’s lack of impact drew criticism from pundits like Alan Shearer. The heat in Miami may have played a role, but the message is clear: at this level, one bad game can cost you your place. England’s next test against Argentina demands everyone’s best.
