NorwayvsEngland

Curator note: Norway ride a red-hot Haaland (seven goals, including the double that knocked out Brazil) and Odegaard into a first quarter-final since 1998, against an England side that topped its group and edged Mexico but has kept only two clean sheets in five — a leaky defence now facing the tournament form striker. The board makes England a modest favourite (around 48 percent) with a fair total near 2.75, so the question is whether England defence finally contains Haaland or this opens into a Kane-vs-Haaland goals game. We are watching the lineups; the call comes at kickoff.
