2026 World Cup Quarter-finals Confirmed: England to Meet Norway, Morocco vs France

England secured their place in the quarter-finals with a thrilling 3-2 victory over co-hosts Mexico. Despite playing at altitude and finishing with 10 men after Jarell Quansah’s red card, the Three Lions held on. Norway booked their spot thanks to two late goals from Erling Haaland, turning the tide after Neymar Jr’s consolation penalty couldn’t save Brazil. The two giants of European football now clash in what promises to be a fierce contest. Earlier, Morocco stunned hosts Canada, and France edged Paraguay 1-0 through a Kylian Mbappé penalty. These results set up the opening quarter-final showdown between the Atlas Lions and Les Bleus.

With England down to ten men at altitude, how do you think they held off Mexico in such a tight match?

True, their organised defence and quick transitions kept Mexico at bay.

Morocco's path to quarter-finals looks impressive on paper, but France's World Cup pedigree raises serious doubts about an upset.

I'm not convinced playing at altitude alone explains England's grit; their defense still showed too many gaps to feel completely secure.

If England want to advance further, they should tighten midfield control and avoid needless fouls when reduced to ten men.
