The 2026 FIFA World Cup will see its quarterfinal stage begin on Saturday, July 11, when Norway takes on England at Hard Rock Stadium in Miami, Florida. The match promises a showdown between two of the tournament’s most prolific scorers, Erling Haaland and Harry Kane, each of whom is battling for the Golden Boot.
Quarterfinal Showdown
Haaland arrives in the last eight after a decisive 2‑1 victory over Brazil in the Round of 16, a win that featured both of his goals. His seven goals so far place him at the top of the scoring charts, making him a clear favorite for the tournament’s top scorer award.
Kane, meanwhile, led England to a 3‑2 win against Mexico, also in the Round of 16, and sits with six goals in the competition. The English captain’s experience and clutch performances have kept him in the Golden Boot conversation, setting the stage for a direct duel with the Norwegian forward.

Both squads have been named with an eye toward maximizing attacking potency. Norway’s expected lineup includes goalkeeper Ørjan Nyland, full‑back Julian Ryerson, and forward Erling Haaland, alongside defenders such as Kristoffer Ajer and Sander Berge. England’s lineup is projected to feature Jordan Pickford in goal, a back line of Marc Guéhi and Ezri Konsa, and a midfield anchored by Declan Rice and Jude Bellingham, with Bukayo Saka and Anthony Gordon providing width.
Betting markets reflect the high stakes of the encounter, with England listed as slight favorites at -120, while a draw is priced at +260 and Norway at +310. The odds underscore the competitive balance between a team riding a wave of offensive firepower and a side eager to prove its depth.
