England News:
Two years on from Alan Shearer's memorable "pressure is for tyres" epithet at Euro 2024, a new colloquialism has been coined after England's 2,200-metre triumph; altitude is for planes.A kickoff time farce, the perpetual right-back crisis and Mexico's impeccable tournament record represented additional hurdles for Thomas Tuchel's men to overcome, and some fans could have been forgiven for taking a punt on the co-hosts in the Azteca cauldron.However, brace scorer Jude Bellingham, penalty aficionado Harry Kane, big Dan Burn and every athlete in white made the lack of sleep worthwhile for England fans, who witnessed the 10-man Three Lions reach the World Cup quarter-finals for the 11th time.Supporters witnessed an unfamiliar yet unwavering England team at the Azteca, where the Three Lions posted their lowest-ever possession total in a World Cup match on record - 33.2% - but exhibited devastating counter-attacking and diligent defending in equal measure.
England will be without Jarell Quansah for the quarter-finals - and the semis if they get there - after the Bayer Leverkusen defender's straight red card for a high tackle on Mexico's Jesus Gallardo and subsequently saw his ban extended.With Reece James still a hamstring doubt, Tuchel should play it safe and promote the fit-again Djed Spence back to the starting lineup, although one of John Stones and Ezri Konsa could alternatively shuffle over.On the injury front, England's jubilation at the Azteca was somewhat soured by a bizarre accident involving Jordan Henderson, who damaged his wrist in a mishap with the advertising hoardings and has been ruled out for the rest of the World Cup after undergoing surgery.Marc Guehi and Declan Rice have also emerged as fresh doubts due to a hamstring concern and illness respectively; the former is the biggest worry and could make way for Haaland's physical match Dan Burn.
Norway News:
Norway's sole loss at the 2026 World Cup so far coincidentally came in their only previous match against a European nation - a 4-1 reverse to France with a second-string team - since when Africa and South America have proven no match for the rampant rowers.Erling Haaland exuded ultimate nonchalance when picking out the bottom corner from nothing against Brazil, after he had already headed his nation into the lead against the five-time winners, whose 100th-minute Neymar penalty was far too little, far too late.Making a mockery of Carlo Ancelotti's major-tournament nous, Norway maintained their exceptional record of having never lost to Brazil in senior men's football, while reaching the last eight of the World Cup for the first time in their history.Entertaining the neutrals as well as their fervent fanbase, Stale Solbakken's side have scored (12 in total) and conceded (nine) in each of their five World Cup games so far; the only previous team to reach the semi-finals while netting 10 goals and shipping 10 goals is the 1954 West Germany side, who went on to become champions.
Norway left-back David Moller Wolfe was forced off just before the end of the last-16 win over Brazil, but he has resumed full training and is not a concern whatsoever for the quarter-finals.Solbakken therefore has the best kind of selection dilemmas with a full squad, as both Oscar Bobb and Andreas Schjelderup - who set up both goals last time out - are threatening to displace Alexander Sorloth and Antonio Nusa respectively.Still vying for the Golden Boot with seven goals to his name, Haaland has converted 39% of his shots at the World Cup so far, the best rate of any player with 15+ attempts at the tournament since Gary Lineker in 1986.
