England's World Cup Quarter-Final Opponents and Kick-Off Time Confirmed

England are through to the quarter-finals of the World Cup after a dramatic 3-2 win against Mexico. In a last-16 clash delayed for an hour due to severe thunderstorms ahead of kick-off, Thomas Tuchel's side faced a daunting task at a raucous Azteca Stadium but came out on top thanks to goals from Jude Bellingham and Harry Kane.

Bellingham's quickfire brace

Real Madrid star Bellingham stunned the home crowd in Mexico City with a remarkable quickfire brace scored in the space of 100 seconds, before Julián Quiñones pulled one back for the tournament co-hosts shortly before half-time. The drama continued after the break as England defender Jarell Quansah was shown a straight red card for a dangerous studs-up challenge on Jesus Gallardo.

Kane eased fears as he made it 3-1 from the penalty spot after Anthony Gordon was brought down in the area, but Raul Jimenez closed the gap to a single goal with a successful spot-kick of his own. A frantic final 20 minutes followed, but England did enough to hold on and knock the co-hosts out of the World Cup.

Norway upset Brazil

With job done in the Mexican capital, Tuchel's side must now immediately turn their attention to the quarter-finals. Their opponents were confirmed ahead of kick-off, with Norway knocking five-time champions Brazil out of the competition to set up a last-eight meeting with England. A stunning double from Erling Haaland secured a 2-1 win for the Scandinavian side, with Neymar's late penalty not enough to prevent them from reaching a first-ever World Cup quarter-final.

Match details and potential route

Norway v England will take place on Saturday, July 11, with the Miami Stadium (Hard Rock Stadium) in Miami Gardens as the venue for the last-eight showdown. While England fans had to wait until 2am BST for the clash with Mexico to get underway, kick-off for the quarter-final will be at the more sociable time of 10pm BST.

Only one other quarter-final clash has been confirmed so far, with France and Morocco set to meet in Boston on Thursday. The winner of Portugal v Spain will play either the USA or Belgium, while either Argentina or Egypt will face Switzerland or Colombia in the other quarter-finals.
