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

[Bigjoe33]

The match is really going to be an interesting one, and I feel England should be able to get a win today even if the match is not really going to be easy for them. England is having a better squad which is an advantage for them. Let’s see how Haaland is going to perform for Norway today, he is their best player let’s see if he will be able to get a win for his country today but it’s not really going to be easy for him. The match has started already, let’s see how the two teams are going to perform in the first half of the match.

I accept that England's squad is strong but England conceded a goal in the 36 th minute of the first half. Even though England was considered strong in today's match, it can be seen that Norway won in the end. However, the most surprising thing is that despite having the most ball under their control, they had to concede this goal only because they could not attack. In other words, if England cannot attack and the game ends like this, then England has the highest chance of losing today's match. However, Norway has reached the quarter-finals after a long 28 years, so their good performance may allow them to face Argentina in the semi-finals.

It’s really an exciting game that’s being played so far between Norway and England. there was a widespread belief that England will knock out Norway but then coming to this game Norway showed more confidence, especially now that they’ve gotten the first goal against England. England were lucky to have reacted back after conceding the first goal to level the score at 1:1 in the first half. I think with this sort of performance for Norway they have what it takes to knock England out of the competition just like they did to Brazil which I think they’re a better team than Norway.

Well, anybody can think what they like, but as far as football is concerned, to me, it's always a battle and it will always be. I don't write off any team for any reason. Who would have thought in the first place that Egypt will be leading Argentina 2 goals to nil? Or who would have thought that the same Norway will eliminate Almighty Brazil just like that.

No one should be underrated at all. It's a strong game, and the best wins, and sometimes, when you are able to make good use of your created opportunities. I don't know who wins, but any one can always win, that's my point. Don't be surprised that Switzerland can as well send Argentina out of the tournament.

[Crypto Library]

I don't know about others but this match has got me on my toes.
Both teams are really good and have played fantastic football so far in the tournament. And they are both favorites
At this point where it is both draw, I would say may be best side win and may luck be on the side of those who are hungry enough.
I would like to see Norway go through though. The next 30 something minutes would tell.
*Edit... Norway is now leading.

You are not the only person here who is feeling extremely excited while watching this match. I think there will be many people watching this match today, their BP is going up by the minute.

In fact, control of the match was changing from Norway to England and back again from England to Norway. Unfortunately, Norway could not take the lead because the goal that came from the only corner kick was fouled by HOOLAND and the referee rejected it with a BAR decision.

[hyudien]

But I don't think either team will play safe in the second half, rather I think both teams will play more attacking football. We can already see that even Norway scored another goal, but unfortunately the referee cancelled the goal after a VAR review due to a foul by Hooland.

I think this kind of situation frustrates the flow of a team's match and at the same time weakens them. It remains to be seen whether the Norwegian team can do something similar again.

However, in reality, nothing changed in terms of the game in the second half, both teams still seemed to play safely. England did slowly regain control of the game, but only in terms of ball possession, they had quite a hard time breaking through the Norwegian defense. In contrast, Norway, every opportunity given to them, they turned it into a fairly dangerous opportunity. This match is difficult and whoever scores in this second half, they will likely be able to maintain it until the end of the match.

[Bluedrem]

It's almost 40 minutes into the game and Norway are dominating,they are one goal ahead of England and it's not looking so good for them because Norway are not playing today. There's still enough time and anything can happen before the match ends but from the way I see it I think that it would be difficult for England to be able to win. This is why it is important not to place your bets based on the odds alone, Norway has a high chance of winning this match.

The game is tied at the end of 64 minutes. Norway was ahead by one goal in the first half, but they were able to pay the goal in the end. Both sides are playing great now. The match is packed with attack after attack. Neither side is good and is now unable to exert influence on the field. I think both teams are at the same level in terms of ball possession ratio at the moment. What the result of this match will be is still unreviewable.
However, I think the first quarter-final match in the World Cup between Holland and Norway is going great.

Norway almost took the lead over England but the goal was disallowed, currently their score is still 1-1, in the remaining time I am very sure that England has a greater chance of winning the match, the shorter the time, the hotter the match arena, I hope England scores a goal in the final minutes, hopefully what I predicted will be right on target

It could be your personal opinion but in my opinion in reality the match became more hotter right now before the 2 minute ago I saw the England team on the under pressure by the Norway team multiple shot on goal attempt we saw from the Norway team and right now we saw the attack from the England team as well.

And even we saw that there was multiple time chances from the both but unfortunately no one could do that. And the match is on the 80 minute and I don't think that we will going to see any changes till 90 minute I think the match is going to the extra minutes and maybe after that the penalty kicks.

England substitution didn't make the game easy for them, after few subs, England are taking a bit hit and Norway taking control of the game, whoever score wins the game.

Taking off Rice was a bad decision from Tuchel, Anderson and Rice pairing was what gave the midfield strength, in both attack and defense, Jame and Eze are not helping defensively.

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.

[SatoPrincess]

Almost full time and it’s gone awfully quiet in my neighbourhood. No screams of gaollll…just silence. As a neutral, I’m enjoying the match, whichever teams wins tonight is of no consequence to me. Norway was better in the first half, at the moment they seem to be fatigued and losing too many balls. The manager has to make some key changes in extra time to give the team a fighting chance.

The game was drawn between England and Norway. The 1-1 goal difference between the two teams has made the competition even more intense, now the game has become completely dependent on luck. Because the team that misses the penalty will be eliminated from this World Cup. But for this we must wait because the captains of both teams are very tense, in the end even the big man cannot tell where the game will go, so we must wait.

England vs. Norway match has gone to extra time, and the additional 30 minutes are now underway after the game finished 1–1 in regulation.
Let's see if either team can find a winning goal or if the match will have to be decided by a penalty shootout.
In my opinion, Norway were the better side during normal time. I expected a stronger performance from England, but they struggled to impose themselves on the game.

[Slow death]

The game between England and Norway is tied. Luckily, I bet on both teams to score and I was right, as England scored 1 goal and Norway also scored 1 goal, so my bet paid off. It's a profit. But I must say I expected this game to be complicated. I hope it doesn't go to penalties, because that's something that depends a lot on luck; the team that's very unlucky misses and loses the game. As I'm writing this post, England scored their second goal and are winning; it was Jude Bellingham who scored, making his second goal in this game.

So far, the performance from both teams looks nearly even, but Norway has been a far better side, as they've trying to create better chances. At some point, I started feeling pity for England because they were looking exhausted. This is the first time I'm giving credits to FIFA for the implementation of the hydration break because it hasn't affected the momentum of the game so far. From the look of things, any of the teams can make it to the next round, but I think England looks very much like a team to get a late goal that is enough to cause an upset. Best of luck to both teams.

[Fivestar4everMVP]

Should I say that i am not really satisfied with the current match being played between Norway and England, i am not watching the match due to some inconveniences but I a following up the scores online and so far, I see a pattern in this match that is very similar to the same pattern that fifa used when Egypt played against Argentina, Egypt scored their second goal after the first but the goal was cancelled by fifa..

Today, Norway had scored their first goal and England managed to score an equaliser, then they (Norway) managed to score their second goal which was supposed to be their winning goal up to this moment, but fifa (like they did to Egypt in their v. Argentina match) canceled the goal also keeping the score at 1 : 1, now I guess their plan now is that England will win the match through penalties, this is not giving me a good vibe at all but all the same, the game is the game I guess.

England is able to add another goal and in the extra time +7 minute's which almost finished this is one match in the wold Cup that have given fans a trill for their money as most of the bettors gave England winning and when the 90 minute's was played and scores of 1:1 they were beginning to lose hope but J. Bellingham brought in the second goal for England at the 93 minute's this revived England side hope and joy in the end.

[Woodie]

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.

Penalty call,but let's see what VAR has to say about this..hope it gets overturned as this wasn't convincing enough..

Edit:

Penalty call overturned...No penalty,  maybe Norway can dig deep to get back into the game..

Regardless of the outcome of this match, Norway should be proud. They got to the quarter finals and that is a massive achievement. They showed great fighting spirit and Haaland has proven that he can turn up when needed. This World Cup has been full of many memorable moments. From the early shocks to the underdog stories, this tournament has reminded us why football is the beautiful game. Norway may not win England at the end of the match, but they have earned respect and made their mark. That's something no one can take away from them.

There are still 15 minutes left and they can still maximize this as long as they play more aggressively in the remaining time but in the end it doesn't look easy.
England did not relax their attack even if they saw the pressing done even more because they knew that in this match if they changed the scheme to defend directly then Norway could hold the rhythm in the last 15 minutes.

Jude has always been outstanding and this is the advantage he has as a false 9 when their Striker is struggling to score goals then he always comes from the second line to create momentum.
I still hope Norway can level the score but in the end it will definitely not be as easy as imagined.

[Adbitco]

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.

[MK-74]

England secured their place in the World Cup semifinals with a winning goal in extra time.
In my opinion, Jude Bellingham was the player who carried England into the semifinals tonight, and I think he deserves to be named Man of the Match.
Despite giving everything they had, Norway couldn't avoid elimination.

In about an hour, England will find out their semifinal opponent.
The winner of Argentina vs. Switzerland will face England in the semifinals.
