England’s Stones Warns of Haaland Threat Ahead of World Cup Quarter-Final
John Stones has declared that England hold “huge respect” for Norway and their star striker Erling Haaland as Thomas Tuchel’s side prepare for a World Cup quarter-final clash on Saturday. The match follows England’s dramatic 3-2 victory over Mexico in the Estadio Azteca, while Norway stunned Brazil in New Jersey with a late brace from Haaland.
This meeting marks the first between the two nations since September 2014, when a Wayne Rooney penalty secured a 1-0 friendly win for England at Wembley. For the Three Lions, it is a chance to reach only their fourth World Cup semi-final. Norway, meanwhile, aim to extend their record-breaking run and secure a shock place in the final four.
