Whoever scores first wins? Prediction: 4 goals (Norway 2:2 England, regular time)

If you want to pick the most entertaining match among the World Cup quarterfinal round, this one is definitely near the top.
Norway has Haaland and Ødegaard, whose partnership is getting more and more seamless; England, meanwhile, has Kane, Bellingham, Saka, and several other world-class forwards—both teams have enough firepower to break the opponent’s goal.
Many people believe the knockout stage will be played conservatively, but in fact, in their recent matches, both teams have conceded in almost every game, while their attacking efficiency has also been very high—so the possibility of an open, end-to-end battle isn’t low.
If Norway goes ahead first, they will be more determined to adopt a defensive counterattacking strategy, while England will have to push forward with attacking pressure, making the game’s pace faster and faster.
Conversely, if England takes the lead first, Haaland will also definitely step up his pressing in the front line, using his physical advantage to create set-piece opportunities.
Both sides have super strikers and also have some defensive vulnerabilities, so it’s not surprising to see consecutive goals in the final stages.
Overall, what’s most worth looking forward to in this match is the clash between the teams’ key players—the uncertainty is very likely to last until the final minute.
Predicted score: Norway 2:2 England (90 minutes).
Predicted total goals: 4 goals.
