Rogers Backs Kane to Outshine Haaland in World Cup Showdown

Bruce says Burn’s size and recent form could help England contain Haaland, who has scored 7 goals at the tournament.

  • England face Norway in a World Cup quarter-final this Saturday in Miami, where Thomas Tuchel's side must contain star striker Erling Haaland to reach the semi-finals.
  • Former Newcastle United manager Steve Bruce backed Dan Burn to mark Haaland, describing the defender as a "physical beast" equipped to contain the Manchester City forward.
  • Goalkeeper Orjan Nyland revealed Norway's team doctor has been "very busy" amid reports of illness and exhaustion, though the team aims to face England with a fully rested squad.
  • Tuchel will rely on his midfield trio to control the game and cut off service to Haaland, attempting to smother Arsenal captain Martin Odegaard in the middle of the park.
  • Tensions persist within the Norwegian camp as Alexander Sorloth remains "irritated" by tactical accommodations for Haaland, though his father maintained the Atletico Madrid striker and teammates remain close friends.
