​Follow us for live updates on the England-Norway World Cup showdown. In a tense quarterfinal at Miami Gardens, Norway struck first as Andreas Schjelderup, the 22-year-old forward, fired a stunning goal in the 36th minute, lofting the ball into the top corner to give Norway a 1-0 lead and mark their 13th World Cup goal in the tournament. If Norway can hold on against England, they will advance to Atlanta on July 15 to face either Argentina or Switzerland at Mercedes-Benz Stadium, with kickoff slated for 3 p.m. ET. A replay of Schjelderup’s goal is available below.
If Norway advances, their path continues in a knockout format that culminates in a World Cup final. The tournament features 32 teams in a single-elimination bracket, with the field halving after each round until a champion is crowned. The only exception is that the two teams defeated in the semifinals will meet in a third-place match ahead of the final. The 2026 edition of the World Cup is the largest in history, and USA Today is deploying reporters to cover the event across 16 host cities in three countries, following 48 teams as they vie for the trophy.
