England starting lineup vs Norway confirmed as Harry Kane & Jude Bellingham named for FIFA World Cup 2026 quarter-final

The Vikings have failed to secure a win in their last four games against the Three Lions.

Led by Thomas Tuchel, the England national football team are all set to be back in action. They will go up against the Norway national football team for the FIFA World Cup 2026 quarterfinal. This will be an interesting game to watch, which is scheduled to take place at the Miami Stadium.

The Three Lions are coming in after taking down one of the co-hosts, Mexico, in their round of 16 contest. It was a close fixture and they were surely pushed to the limit. Jude Bellingham came up with a brace in the first half, but they conceded a goal as well. Harry Kane made it three for England. They conceded another goal in the second half. The Englishmen are one of the favourites to win the mega competition this year. Their performance in defence still needs improvement.

Erling Haaland’s Norway stunned the world after eliminating five-time world champions Brazil from the FIFA World Cup 2026. It was a good effort by the Vikings and they will be looking for yet another win. Their efforts in the midfield and attacking front are quite visible. They will now be eager to tighten up their clumsy defence.

Thoughts on the lineup

Harry Kane is all set to lead the England national football team from the front. Noni Madueke and Anthony Gordon will accompany Kane in the attacking front.

Jude Bellingham, Declan Rice and Elliot Anderson are going to be the main men in the midfield. They are going to play a crucial role in controlling the game.

Ezri Konsa, Marc Guéhi, John Stones and Nico O’Reilly are going to form a strong backline. Between the sticks, it is going to be an experienced Jordan Pickford.
