England will play Norway in the World Cup quarter-finals in Miami on Saturday. This battle will feature some of the most famous stars on the planet and will determine who will qualify for the final four of the tournament.
Norway have featured Erling Haaland in their first World Cup since 1998, with the striker scoring seven goals so far, including two in three games. Meanwhile, England are looking to set a date for the quarter-finals with an emotional victory over Mexico in the round of 16.
“I believe that every match in this World Cup was the “most important” and best for Norwegian football,” coach Staare Solbakken said. “So this is the third ‘most important’ match and I think the players are in a relaxed yet competitive mood. ”
The winner will face Argentina or Switzerland in the semifinals on Wednesday, July 14 in Atlanta.
