Haaland vs Burn and Nusa's Arsenal links ahead of England quarter-final

England await on Saturday

Your quarter-final is set. Norway face England on Saturday at the World Cup, and the buildup is already electric (1). Tuchel's biggest headache has a name: Erling Braut Haaland. Seven goals in four matches. Level with Messi and Mbappé at the top of the tournament scoring chart.

Dan Burn wants the Haaland assignment

England defender Dan Burn says he is ready for the duel with Haaland. "More than ready enough," Burn told Norwegian press ahead of the quarter-final (4). The 201 cm Newcastle centre-back is the obvious physical answer to Norway's striker.

Arsenal circle for Antonio Nusa

Antonio Nusa is attracting serious attention. Arsenal have joined the race for the Norway winger, whose tournament has turned heads across Europe (2). The timing is awkward, your quarter-final is days away and now the transfer noise is circling one of your most dangerous wide players.

Thunderstorms could delay kick-off in Miami

The Miami forecast is looking rough. Thunderstorms threaten to push back kick-off for England–Norway on Saturday (3). FIFA have not confirmed any changes yet, but the situation is being monitored.

Brazil still can't handle what you did to them

Romario is furious. The Brazil legend went nuclear after Norway knocked his country out of the World Cup, demanding Carlo Ancelotti be sacked and slamming Endrick: "Scheiß drauf, dass er jung ist!", roughly, to hell with him being young (5). Brazil are in pieces, and your team put them there.

Fan-reaktioner

Norwegian fans are poring over Haaland's numbers, 12 competitive matches, and the metrics keep climbing. A Sofascore breakdown posted Thursday is getting dissected in detail. Meanwhile, Haaland got a Jimmy Fallon invite but looks set to turn it down, the World Cup comes first. And Solbakken's comments on Ødegaard's deeper, two-way role are making the rounds among Arsenal fans watching the tournament.
