Only seven teams are left in the World Cup 2026, as the tournament reaches the quarter-final stage. England are set to face Norway in one of the last-eight ties, with the match taking place in Miami amid concerns over thunderstorms that have hit the area. The Three Lions have been handed an injury boost, with three key players training ahead of the clash. Meanwhile, four England players are at risk of a semi-final suspension should they be booked against Norway. Gareth Southgate's side will need to contain Erling Haaland, with a plan reportedly revealed to stop the Manchester City striker. Norway's Viking Row celebration has become a viral sensation, adding extra spice to the encounter. England are considered favourites, but experts have noted that the underdog tag may suit Haaland and his teammates.
