WORLD CUP | Haaland Tries to Shift Pressure to England Ahead of Norway Round of 16 Matchup

Erling Haaland said England should carry “every single pressure” ahead of Norway’s World Cup Round of 16 match against the Three Lions in Miami on Saturday (5 p.m. ET; Fox), with England ranked fourth in FIFA’s rankings and Norway 19th. Norway reached the knockout stage after beating Côte d’Ivoire and Brazil, and Haaland entered the match second in the Golden Boot race with seven goals while Martin Ødegaard was tied for third in assists with three, according to Yahoo Sports. Haaland, who was born in Leeds and plays for Manchester City, called the England matchup “super special.” The winner will face either Lionel Messi and Argentina or Switzerland in Wednesday’s semifinal in Atlanta.
