​Miami hosts its penultimate World Cup match of 2026 as two powerfully offensive teams, Norway and England, clash in a quarterfinal that promises fireworks. At the center of the action is Norway’s Erling Haaland, who arrives at Hard Rock Stadium with a blistering scoring rate of nearly a goal per game. He singlehandedly toppled Brazil in the Round of 16 and has propelled Norway farther in this tournament than the nation has ever gone. The Landslaget stand as the tournament’s biggest underdogs among the remaining teams, yet they carry belief they can topple England and advance to the semis. The Three Lions, led by Harry Kane and Jude Bellingham, have come heartbreakingly close to lifting a major title in recent years, finishing as finalists at the last two European Championships and reaching the 2018 World Cup semifinals in Russia.
Whoever survives today will wait to discover their semifinal foe: Lionel Messi’s Argentina or Granit Xhaka’s Switzerland. The Palm Beach Post will bring you live updates, scores, and highlights from this Miami Stadium showdown. Follow along for the latest from Norway vs. England in World Cup play.

Messi leads the race with eight goals and one assist.
It’s worth noting Haaland’s unique background: he holds dual Norwegian and English roots, born in Leeds in 2000 while his father played in the Premier League. ESPN notes that Haaland’s family moved back to Norway when he was three, and he was raised within the Norwegian football system. In a 2025 interview, Haaland reflected on his heritage, saying, “Maybe if my father had played longer in England or whatever, maybe I would be English — I don’t know. But I’m Norwegian and I’m proud of it.”
With the stage set, all eyes will be on Hard Rock Stadium as Haaland and Kane vie to lift their nations toward a place in the World Cup semifinals. The match promises drama, tactical intrigue, and a defining moment for the 2026 tournament’s penultimate round.
