England face a stern challenge against Norway in the FIFA World Cup 2026 quarter-finals, with manager Thomas Tuchel making plans to contain star striker Erling Haaland, who has scored seven goals in the tournament. England's strategy centres on limiting Haaland's space and cutting off the creative influence of captain Martin Ødegaard, who supplies him with scoring opportunities. Despite England entering as favourites, Tuchel has warned against underestimating Norway after their surprise victory over Brazil. The winner will advance to the semi-finals, making this one of the tournament's most anticipated clashes. (PC: AP)
