Norway vs England

Norway vs England, scheduled for July 11 in Miami, brings together the tournament's biggest surprise package and one of its most battle-tested squads. Norway are already enjoying their best-ever World Cup finish; England are trying to show their knockout resilience can carry them further still.
Norway finished second in Group I behind France, beating Iraq 4-1 and Senegal 3-2 either side of a 1-4 loss to France, then beat Ivory Coast 2-1 in the Round of 32 for their first-ever World Cup knockout win, a game settled by an Erling Haaland goal in the 86th minute. In the Round of 16, Norway produced one of the tournament's biggest shocks, beating Brazil 2-1 behind a Haaland brace, and reaching the quarterfinals for the first time since returning to the World Cup after a 28-year absence. England won Group L with a 4-2 win over Croatia, a 0-0 draw with Ghana and a 2-0 win over Panama, then beat DR Congo 2-1 in the Round of 32 after trailing early, with a Harry Kane brace turning the match. England then beat Mexico 3-2 in the Round of 16 through a Jude Bellingham brace and a Kane penalty, playing much of the second half with ten men after a red card.
