Scoring seven goals across four World Cup matches before his team’s 2-1 loss to England on Saturday, the Norwegian player has been described as a machine.

By JAMES ROBSON, AP Soccer Writer ATLANTA (AP) — It was another game-changing moment at the World Cup that had more to do with television replays in a room far away than a moment of brilliance on the field.
