Nobody saw this quarterfinal coming — and that’s exactly what makes it must-watch football. Erling Haaland’s Norway shocked Brazil 2-1 in the Round of 16, while Thomas Tuchel’s England survived a 10-man scare to edge Mexico 3-2 at the Azteca. Now the two collide for a place in the 2026 FIFA World Cup semifinals.

Team News And Predicted Lineups
England go in with momentum but a defensive headache — Jarell Quansah’s red card against Mexico leaves Tuchel light at right back, and the squad must adjust quickly from Mexico City’s altitude to Miami’s heat and humidity. Expect Jude Bellingham to anchor midfield creativity, with Harry Kane leading the line after scoring in every match he’s featured this tournament.
Norway, by contrast, arrive full of confidence. Haaland has been the standout striker of the knockout rounds, netting braces in back-to-back matches, and goalkeeper Ørjan Nyland has been in inspired form, including a penalty save against Brazil. This is Norway’s first-ever World Cup quarterfinal, and they’ll lean on a compact, counter-attacking setup built around Haaland’s pace.
Prediction
England’s pedigree and squad depth make them modest favorites, but Norway’s threat through Haaland means this is far from straightforward. Given England’s tired legs and Norway’s momentum, a tight, low-scoring affair feels likely — expect a narrow England win or a match heading to extra time.
