| The outcome of the match between Norway and England hinges largely on two key players, Harry Kane and Erling Haaland are not only perhaps the best strikers in the world right now, but also the leaders of their teams, carrying the weight of an entire nation and fueling dreams of winning the title in the USA. Norway and England earned their place in the quarterfinals with strong performances and go into this game with plenty of confidence. The Scandinavians caused an upset with their 2-1 victory against Brazil, once again underlining their tremendous efficiency in attack. England, meanwhile, prevailed 3-2 against Mexico in an intense round of 16 match, despite playing with ten men for about half an hour. Norway has only lost one match in the entire tournament so far, and even that defeat came against France as Solbakken send on the field players who rarely start matches from the first minute. |
