Norway vs England — World Cup 2026 Group QF
WC Pedigree
Match Preview
Norway's first World Cup since 1998 is now their first quarter-final ever, built on Erling Haaland's 7 goals and a 2-1 win over Brazil in the round of 16. England are unbeaten in five, with Harry Kane on 4 goals and Jude Bellingham on 3. The two countries have never met at a World Cup.
Single elimination from here: level after 90 minutes means extra time, then penalties. Norway have never been this deep in a World Cup — their previous best was the round of 16 in 1998. England's only World Cup title came in 1966.
Quarter-final at Hard Rock Stadium, Miami Gardens. The winner plays Argentina or Switzerland in the semi-final at Mercedes-Benz Stadium on July 15.
Norway have conceded 9 goals in five games — including four to France in the group stage — and win by outscoring teams through Haaland. England have kept two clean sheets and share the goals between Kane (4) and Bellingham (3).
