Haaland Names England as World Cup 2026 Favourites Before Quarter-Final
Norway striker Erling Haaland has backed England as the clear favourites ahead of their World Cup 2026 quarter-final in Miami. The Manchester City forward told reporters he expects all the pressure to fall on the Three Lions rather than Norway. He dismissed his own side’s title hopes and urged everyone to “put every single pressure on the English lads.” The match also features a race for the Golden Boot. Haaland leads the charts with seven goals, just one ahead of England’s captain Harry Kane. Haaland added a personal note to the game, recalling that he was born in England and plays his club football in the Premier League. “It’s a funny game and it’s going to be nice,” he said.
