Below are the details on how to watch.<\/p>\n
Erling Haaland against England’s center backs is the matchup to watch in this quarterfinal.<\/p>\n
Haaland has scored in every match he’s played this World Cup, including two against Brazil in the round of 16. Norway doesn’t need long spells of possession to make him dangerous. Get the ball wide, feed him quickly and he does the rest before a defense can get set.<\/p>\n
England has been sharper defensively than anyone Norway has faced so far. Deny the early crosses. Keep him from turning half-chances into shots, and Norway’s attack loses its most direct weapon.<\/p>\n
Watch the first few times Norway breaks wide and looks for Haaland early.<\/p>\n
