EFL hopes fade as Norway and Switzerland exit World Cup

[Getty Images] The final four remaining English Football League players saw their World Cup hopes end at the quarter‑final stage. Watford goalkeeper Egil Selvik, 28, and defenders David Moller Wolfe of Wolves and Sondre Langas of Derby County bowed out when Norway lost 2‑1 to England after extra time in Miami on Saturday. David Moller Wolfe, 24, was substituted after 90 minutes of the quarter‑final. He had started five of Norway’s six matches at the tournament, contributing throughout the campaign. The Norwegians' hopes rested heavily on his defensive contributions. Egil Selvik and 25‑year‑old Sondre Langas were unused substitutes throughout the knockout phase. Their only appearance came in the group‑stage 4‑1 defeat by France.
