Haaland Targets England After Brazil Exit

Erling Haaland will face England in Miami on Saturday, just days after eliminating Brazil from the World Cup with two goals.

The Norwegian striker, born in Leeds in 2000 while his father played in the Premier League, has been unstoppable in the tournament with seven goals in four matches. Haaland, who developed at Manchester City where he scored 36 goals in his debut Premier League season, has scored in every game including braces against Iraq and Senegal, the winner against Ivory Coast, and his masterclass against Brazil that secured Norway's first-ever quarterfinal appearance. beltedkingfisher.blog

Now, England manager Thomas Tuchel—who previously tried to sign Haaland for Chelsea—must devise a plan to stop the striker who knows many of his players intimately from their time together at Manchester City and Borussia Dortmund. Norway's golden generation, featuring Martin Ødegaard and Antonio Nusa, continues their remarkable run after ending a 28-year World Cup exile.
