Norway v England: A Clash of Superstar Forwards
The final day of the 2026 World Cup quarter-finals features a blockbuster match between Norway and England, with two of the tournament's top scorers—Erling Haaland and Harry Kane—leading their teams. Both strikers have been in prolific form, dragging their sides to the last eight. The midfield battle between Jude Bellingham and Martin Ødegaard adds further intrigue.
How to Watch Norway v England
The match kicks off at 5pm ET at Hard Rock Stadium in Miami. In the United States, it airs on Fox and Telemundo, with streaming on Fubo. Canadian viewers can watch on TSN, UK viewers on ITV1, and Australian viewers on SBS.
Norway's Threat and England's Grit
Norway's last-16 victory over Brazil dispelled any doubts about their threat. With Haaland leading the line, Ødegaard driving from midfield, and options like Oscar Bobb and Andreas Schjelderup off the bench, Norway aims for a first-ever World Cup semi-final. England showed resilience to beat Mexico at Estadio Azteca, but manager Thomas Tuchel's side must find a higher level to progress, as his approach has not always yielded fluid attacking play.
Player to Watch: Erling Haaland
Brazil learned the hard way what happens when Haaland is given too much space around the penalty area. England cannot afford the same mistake, though stopping Haaland is easier said than done.
Argentina v Switzerland: Messi's Quest Continues
Argentina face Switzerland at Arrowhead Stadium in Kansas City at 9pm ET. The match is available on the same broadcast networks as the earlier game. Argentina have looked vulnerable in knockout wins over Cape Verde and Egypt, needing a late comeback from 2-0 down against the latter. Switzerland, after a penalty shootout victory over Colombia, may adopt a conservative approach, especially with Johan Manzambi likely out injured.
Player to Watch: Lionel Messi
At 39, Messi remains arguably the world's best, with eight goals in five games keeping Argentina's title defence alive. Switzerland's best chance lies in making the match a grind.
