England vs Norway set for Miami World Cup quarterfinal

Quarterfinal opponents announced

The World Cup quarterfinal lineup for Miami has been finalized. England and Norway will clash at Miami Stadium—commonly called Hard Rock Stadium—on July 11 at 5 p.m. ET. Both nations punched their tickets in dramatic fashion over the weekend, with Norway beating Brazil and England edging out Mexico in extra time.

Norway’s knockout run

Norway secured its place in the last eight with a Sunday‑night win over Brazil. The win propelled the 19th‑ranked team into a high‑profile showdown in Florida. Coach’s squad features Erling Haaland, whose seven tournament goals tie the current leading scorers.

England’s dramatic victory

England advanced after a thrilling match against host Mexico, thanks to a late penalty from Harry Kane. The fourth‑ranked side survived a nervous finish to book its spot in Miami. Kane’s extra‑time strike was hailed as a showcase of composure under pressure.

Strikers spotlight: Haaland vs Kane

Norway’s front‑man, Erling Haaland of Manchester City, has netted seven goals this tournament, matching Lionel Messi’s total and one behind Kylian Mbappé. England’s Harry Kane, now at Bayern Munich, has six goals, a tally that helped seal the win over Mexico. Both players are considered among the tournament’s elite attackers.

Match details and expectations

The quarterfinal will be played at Miami Stadium, a venue that has already hosted one of the tournament’s best games when Argentina battled Cape Verde into extra time. With top‑ranked England facing the under‑dog Norway, the clash promises a contrast in styles and rankings. Kane reflected on the Mexico game, calling it “a crazy game” during the Fox broadcast.
