Norway Beat Brazil. England Are Next.

England vs Norway is the World Cup quarter-final nobody predicted, and Erling Haaland is the striker who could end 60 years of English hurt. Norway knocked five-time world champions Brazil out of the tournament, Haaland scored twice, and now Harry Kane, Thomas Tuchel and the Three Lions stand just 90 minutes from a World Cup semi-final, facing the boy born on English soil who chose Norway. A nation of 5.4 million with nothing to lose against a country carrying six decades of heartbreak, one win from glory for both. This is the final third.
