Haaland Targets England After Brazil Exit

Published July 6, 2026 · Updated July 6, 2026 · Fox Sports

Erling Haaland will lead Norway against England on Saturday, just days after his double against Brazil sent Norway to their first-ever World Cup quarterfinal.

Erling Haaland, the Manchester City striker who eliminated Brazil from the World Cup, now faces England - the country that developed him into a global football star. Born in Leeds when his father played in the Premier League, Haaland chose to represent Norway and has terrorized English defenders throughout his career.

The 23-year-old has scored in every match of the tournament with seven goals, equaling the Golden Boot leaders. His familiarity with England players from City and Dortmund gives him unique insight, as England manager Thomas Tuchel must find a way to stop the player he once tried to sign for Chelsea. realschule-moosburg.de
