Norway vs. England: World Cup 2026 Quarterfinal Live

Norway faces England in the quarterfinals of the 2026 World Cup in Miami, marking the Nordic nation's debut in this stage of the tournament. After a strong group phase where they only lost to eventual semifinalist France and secured wins against Ivory Coast and Brazil, Norway's team, led by Solbakken, confronts a formidable English side.

England, under the guidance of Thomas Tuchel, reached the quarterfinals following a dramatic victory over Mexico in the Azteca stadium. Their group stage performance included wins against Croatia and Panama, a draw with Ghana, and a late comeback against DR Congo, powered by two goals from Harry Kane.

Both teams have made tactical adjustments to their starting lineups. England's Tuchel has opted for Madueke in place of Saka, while Norway's Solbakken has brought in Schjelderup, replacing Nusa. Konsa will play at right-back for England due to Quansah's suspension.

Before the match, a moment of silence was observed in memory of Jayden Adams, a 25-year-old South African national team player who participated in the World Cup and passed away.
