Confirmed fact: Norway vs England is a World Cup quarterfinal at Miami Stadium. The winner faces Argentina or Switzerland in the semifinal.

Tactical explanation

Tactical explanation

The match is about England's control against Norway's direct punch. England can own more territory, but one bad rest-defense shape gives Haaland the exact race he wants.
