England meets Norway in the World Cup quarterfinals on Saturday in Miami, a battle featuring some of the planet’s biggest stars that will decide a spot in the tournament’s final four.
Norway is riding Erling Haaland in its first World Cup since 1998, with the striker racking up seven goals so far, including three games with two. Meanwhile, England is coming off an emotional win over Mexico in the round of 16 to set up the quarterfinal date.
“I think every game in this World Cup has been the ‘most important’ and the greatest for Norwegian football,” coach Ståle Solbakken said. “So, this is the third ‘most important’ game, and I think the players are in a relaxed but competitive mood.”
The winner will face Argentina or Switzerland in the semifinals on Wednesday, July 14 in Atlanta.

Seth Vertelney: Norway 2-1 England
Until Erling Haaland stops scoring in every game, usually more than once, it will be hard to pick against Norway. England has had a good run but its back line will again be no match for the Norwegian star.
Jon Arnold : Norway 1-3 England
Haaland will get his, but Harry Kane, Jude Bellingham and the assorted wide attackers will be too much for Norway’s center backs to cope with.
Jesse Yomtov: Norway 1-2 England
Haaland scores but this isn’t an England team that is going to crumble under pressure. The Thee Lions are resilient and will outlast the upstart Norwegians.
Victoria Hernandez: Norway 2-3 England
Harry Kane and Jude Bellingham are Batman and Robin and will pull the plug on Erling Haaland’s magical run.
