Norway vs England

The Golden Boot race takes centre stage in Miami as Norway's Erling Haaland and England's Harry Kane — two of the most prolific strikers of their generation — meet in a World Cup quarter-final for the first time. Haaland has been sensational, scoring seven goals to lead the tournament's scoring charts alongside Mbappé and Messi, and his brace against Brazil in the Round of 16 ended the five-time champions' hopes and announced Norway as genuine contenders. England, meanwhile, needed every ounce of Jude Bellingham's brilliance to survive a pulsating 3-2 win over hosts Mexico at the Azteca — a match that tested their character to the limit when Jarell Quansah's red card left them playing the final 20 minutes with ten men. Norway have yet to face a side with England's individual quality. England have yet to face a team built around a striker as clinical as Haaland. Something has to give in Miami — and whoever wins this will be among the favourites to go all the way.
