FIFA World Cup 2026 :Canada/Mexico/United States: Discussion Thread

Harry Kane maybe England's highest goal scorer but in my opinion Jude Bellingham has been England best player in the tournament so far and there is no doubt about that.
Jude Bellingham has really stepped up for England especially when they needed him the most, when games are tight and they need to dig deeper Bellingham has been that player that they can rely on.

Jude Bellingham is really getting hot in this later stages of the competition, initially when the competition started, Bellingham was missing but since the knockout stages, he has really turned up for England and even scoring goals to it. Norway on the other hand had exceeded my expectations in this competition, I wasn't expecting that they would go this far but here they are in the quarter finals, held England to a draw in the first half and pushed them to extra time. Indeed they have really tried, if they go out in this round, they should raise their heads high because they deserve to be applauded.

Jude Bellingham was underrated in the England squad but he has proven himself yet again buy pushing them into the semi finals with his fantastic display and a brace to his name. No doubt Norway always made it impossible for them to cross to the semi finals because at some point it was going their way but hard lucks and decisions for the VAR brought back hop to the England team before they ended the game then proceeded to the extra time. Jude Bellingham deserves all the praises cause right now he's the best player in the team.

New boys on the block Norway 🇳🇴 really pushed their luck against England ,now with that second Jude goal has lifted the pressure off the team and Bellingham now entered the race for the golden boot.

For teams like Norway who are not regular names in the World Cup, they have actually had a really good competition in the World Cup and should return proudly, and be celebrated, With the experience that you've gathered from this competition I'm very sure that they will do better in the next competition.

Haaland could not score in this game, it shows that the understanding that the English Center Backs had about him from Playing alongside him in Manchester City helped them get a good result in the game by stopping  Haaland from doing what he knows how to do best, which is score goals.

England has being lucky in this fixture. One would have thought that, this was a game where England would show Norway who’s boss but the reverse has being the case. Norway has maintained a great deal of pressure on England, took the lead almost twice in the match if not for that offside call. England are the ones seeking for a draw in this match and with the time quickly running out, that break is much needed for a little rest and team talks.

Fortunately for England, they won in the end of the game, they have now made it to the next stage of the competition,  but Norway did pretty well,  it was a good fight,  even as they did not make it to the next stage of the competition,  they did so well because many did not expect they will get to this point in the competition.

Bellingham left his mark on the Mexico match and today's Norway match. He left the field to applause in the 110th minute. Now England is waiting for their opponent in the next round, probably Argentina, but you never know. It's quite nice that the matches are so close and often last longer than 90 minutes.

Norway's performance dropped early in extra time, and they conceded a goal there. England won the match thanks to their experience.

Well played match by England today. They deserved winning this match. Their strongest point on the last matches was the fact they don't rely solely on Kane to score goals. Bellingham has been doing a great job for England with a lot of skill on his plays. England has the strongest squad and that has become clear on this match, while Norway has a video game boss, which is Haaland.

Another key on the success of England was the fact they achieved neutralizing Haaland on the field.

Now, I'm looking forward for a final between England and France.

In the knock out phase Belligoal turned into a monster and 2 braces in 2 consecutive matches made him start approaching in the current top scoring competition for the World Cup.

He's got the ideal position behind the striker and this makes Jude look very comfortable in his position because some players will keep Kane tight and he can find a good position to score in the end.
Norway didn't look too good for me, but they looked a bit different against Brazil.

There was good momentum when Norway scored the second goal but VAR thwarted the goal which made England gain momentum. But even so Norway have been outstanding up to this point and we have to appreciate that and England played really well in this game.

Argentina leads the game. Although they is only creating a single attempt, but it can be executed perfectly. Thanks for mac allister for his goal.So i think this game is not gonna be a hard game for them. They will win this with at least two goals. I like the way the way they do transition from offensive to the defensive.
However, a bit surprised switzerland is more dominant in term of ball possession. Nevertheless the accuracy in attack is the thing that may determine the result of this game. So i feel confidence to say Argentina will win this with cleansheet 2 - 0 as the result.
