Norway's Haaland says pressure is all on England
Erling Haaland said on Saturday that all the pressure is on England leading into their World Cup quarter-final meeting in Miami. The Manchester City striker stated, "Yes, definitely. I think there's some clear favourites out there, England's one of them." He also called on the media to put as much pressure on Thomas Tuchel's side as possible.
Norway had not competed at a World Cup since 1998, but have reached the final eight for the first time after finishing second in Group I before beating Ivory Coast and Brazil in the knockout stage. Haaland, 25, has scored in each of his past 14 competitive games for Norway, and has seven goals in four appearances in the World Cup, including a double to eliminate Brazil in the last 16. He was born in Leeds and will look to continue his scoring run against the nation of his birth. England have reached at least the quarter-finals in the past three men's World Cups, but have not made the final since winning the competition in 1966.
