Norway vs England Live Score, FIFA World Cup 2026 Quarterfinal Updates: Score Today, Lineups, Goals, Timeline & Result
2 min readJul 12, 2026 02:21 AM Norway are taking on England in a World Cup quarter-final at Miami’s Hard Rock Stadium in a game that will see two of the world’s best strikers — Norway’s Erling Haaland and England’s Harry Kane — go head-to-head. Coming into the game, Haaland had scored seven goals at this year’s World Cup, only one behind France’s Kylian Mbappé and Argentina’s Lionel Messi in the Golden Boot race. One goal behind Haaland is Harry Kane (six goals and an ass before the game against Norway).
“I think it’s Norway vs. England,” Norway coach Ståle Solbakken said on Friday, trying to temper down the hype of a Haaland vs Kane battle. But eventually he conceded: “But I don’t think it’s a secret that Kane is match-leader No. 1 for England and Haaland is match-leader No. 1 for us.”
Haaland — who didn’t play for Norway in its loss to France in the group stage — has gotten his goals in bunches in this tournament. Against Iraq, his two goals came 14 minutes apart. Against Senegal, his two goals were 10 minutes apart. Against Brazil, his two goals were 11 minutes apart.
The build-up to the Norway vs England game had led to British Airways and Norwegian Air challenging each other on social media, and the militaries of both teams also getting into the act at some point with the Norwegian armed forces releasing a video of the now-viral Viking Row celebration being performed at military bases.
It’s a battle that has attracted superstars like David Beckham and Brazil’s Ronaldo to the Hard Rock Stadium in Miami to witness what promises to be a mouth-watering contest.
