Erling Haaland, the Manchester City striker born in Leeds when his father Alfie played in the Premier League, will face England in Miami on Saturday after his two-goal performance eliminated Brazil. The 23-year-old has scored in every match at the tournament, including a brace against Iraq, another against Senegal, the winner against Ivory Coast, and two goals against Brazil, helping Norway reach their first quarterfinal. truewildgame.com
Haaland, who could have represented England but chose Norway, has a record of 7 goals in 4 matches, level at the top of the Golden Boot race. His familiarity with England players, including John Stones, Nico O'Reilly, and Jude Bellingham from their club days, could give him an edge as Thomas Tuchel's England team attempts to halt his remarkable tournament run.
