England has been to the World Cup Semi finals 3 times, in 1966 where they went on to win the trophy, in 1990 where they lost West Germany and in 2018 where they lost to Croatia.
Norway on the other hand have never reached the semi finals. Before this world cup, their highest finish has been round of 16 in 1938 where they lost to Italy and 1998 where they lost to Italy again.
The two meet today with England ready to do it again and Vikings ready for reach further than they have ever sailed.
Who do you think will book a slot in the World Cup semi finals today? England or Norway?
Lionel Scaloni: "There is a campaign, some people have been saying we’re favored for a very long time, for as long as I can remember. Maybe they don’t want us to win because we won the last World Cup.
"Nowadays, with VAR, it’s very difficult for anyone to help you. Lisandro Martínez had his foot stepped on, it was a foul. Everything gets exaggerated on social media, but there is no favoritism.”
Cuti Romero: "We’ve conceded too many goals lately, and as defenders, we don’t like that. We have to improve in that area. It’s going to be a difficult game, Switzerland are coming off a great performance against Colombia.
"We’re doing well, but we know we need to improve because we’ve conceded four goals in our last two matches, and that bothers us."
A huge mistake by Senne Lammens got a deserving punishment from the man of late goals Mikel Merino. The few golden minutes that Lammens has got at the World Cup are likely to see the Red Devils packing.
Charles De Keteleare not only Equalised the match for Belgium but also made Spain concede for the first time since the World Cup started.
Spain had gone a record 5 matches without conceding a single goal.
Keteleare has so far scored 3 goals and 1 assist in this World Cup!
Fans seem to have been surprised when Spanish coach De la Fuente benched Pedri for Fabian Ruiz. But the midfielder PSG midfielder already had a goal in his name, his first ever in World Cup.
The best ever finish for Belgium came in 2018 World Cup in Russia when they defeated England in the third place play off to finish 3rd.
The Red Devils have only reached World Cup semi finals twice in 1986 when Mexico hosted and 2018.
Whereas no one seems to be counting them among the favorites for the apex football trophy, their performance has been decent in this World Cup.
Can they pull a great game tonight against Spain and go to the semi finals for the 3rd time in their history?
As per @FabrizioRomano: "The Adeyemi deal does not affect the Julian Alvarez deal, who is their dream target."
"In any case, Julian or not, Barcelona still plan to sign a striker."
