How Norway and England Got Here
Both sides survived dramatic Round of 8 ties on 5 July:
| Team | Round of 8 | Score | Standout |
|---|---|---|---|
| 🇳🇴 Norway | vs Brazil (M91) | 2–1 | Erling Haaland 79', 90' at MetLife |
| 🏴 England | vs Mexico (M92) | 3–2 | Jude Bellingham 36', 38'; Kane pen at the Azteca |
Norway eliminated Brazil with Haaland's late brace — Neymar's stoppage-time penalty was not enough. England held off a hostile Mexico crowd despite playing much of the second half with ten men after Jarell Quansah's red card. Full reports: July 5 results.
Why This Quarter-Final Matters
- Haaland vs Kane is the headline — Haaland has 7 goals at World Cup 2026; Kane has 6. The Golden Boot race may hinge on 90 minutes in Miami.
- Norway have never reached a World Cup semi-final — 18:00 in Miami is the biggest match in their history.
- England survived a man disadvantage at the Azteca and a Kane rescue act against DR Congo in the Round of 16 — Bellingham's form makes them favourites on paper, but Haaland's Brazil performance proved Norway can beat elite opposition.
- The winner faces the Argentina vs Switzerland winner in Match 102 on 15 July at Mercedes-Benz Stadium, Atlanta — the second semi-final.
