Quarter-Final Opponents: Norway
England will face Norway in the quarter-finals on July 11 at Miami Stadium in Florida. The match kicks off at 10pm UK time. Norway advanced by beating Brazil 2-1 in a major upset.
Norway's attack is led by Erling Haaland, the Manchester City striker known for his prolific goalscoring in the Premier League. The Scandinavians have impressed throughout the tournament and pose a significant threat.
Potential Semi-Final and Final Route

Previous Knockout Match
England reached the last 16 after a Harry Kane double secured a win over DR Congo in the Round of 32. The team has shown resilience, particularly in the Mexico match where they held on despite being a man down.
Thomas Tuchel's tenure has been highlighted by this victory, and the squad aims to build on this momentum. The next weeks could bring more memorable moments for England fans.
