England booked their place in the 2026 World Cup quarter-finals with an impressive 2-0 victory over Mexico, overcoming the challenges of the high-altitude Azteca Stadium, a disrupted build-up and a growing injury list. Jude Bellingham’s brace, Harry Kane’s composure from the penalty spot and another resolute defensive display helped Thomas Tuchel’s side reach the last eight for the 11th time, despite recording just 33.2% possession – England’s lowest-ever share of the ball in a World Cup match. The Three Lions now head into the quarter-finals on the back of three consecutive wins, scoring at least twice in each victory.
Standing between England and a place in the semi-finals are tournament surprise package Norway, who are through to the World Cup quarter-finals for the first time in their history. Erling Haaland has spearheaded their remarkable run, including a famous victory over Brazil in the last 16, while their only defeat of the tournament came against France with a heavily rotated side. England’s recent struggles against European opposition in World Cup knockout matches add another layer of intrigue, but Tuchel’s men will be confident they have the form and momentum to end that trend and move one step closer to World Cup glory.
