Norway vs England: World Cup 2026 Preview
Both teams come into this quarter-final with their tails up thanks to stirring wins in the last round. Norway’s was an effect of the elevated mood in the camp, England’s a cause of greater optimism.
The focus of attention on the prominence of Erling Haaland isn’t without foundation. England’s ability to deal with the Norway striker will dictate the direction of the match to a large degree.
England manager Thomas Tuchel must guard against any suggestion that Haaland is Norway’s only weapon – he’s not – but this is one of the tournament’s leading scorers coming up against a team more than capable of conceding a sloppy goal.
England have firepower of their own. Captain Harry Kane has six goals to Haaland’s seven and Jude Bellingham’s scored another four of England’s total tournament tally of 11.
The World Cup history between England and Norway is defined by two qualifying wins for the latter. The late Bjørge Lillelien certainly enjoyed the first, in 1981. Graham Taylor’s battle of wits with Egil Olsen ahead of the second, in 1993, has become etched into tactical lore.
This is the biggest ever match between these opponents. It might be the most important in Norway’s history and it’s not far down the list for England either. The spirit of Azteca is the least they’ll need.
