England and Norway clash in World Cup quarterfinal in Miami

A minute’s silence was observed before the kickoff of the FIFA World Cup quarter‑final between England and Norway at Miami Stadium, honoring the late South African midfielder Jayden Adams. The 25‑year‑old, who had represented Bafana Bafana and Mamelodi Sundowns and recently featured at the World Cup, was shown on the big screen; FIFA President Gianni Infantino and several football bodies paid tribute.

The match is scheduled for 5 pm local time (22:00 GMT). Norway’s squad recovered from a pre‑match bug, while England’s lineup misses suspended Jarell Quansah and injured Jordan Henderson. Haaland said, “I never thought I would experience something like this… scoring seven goals for Norway at a World Cup is something else entirely.” England coach Thomas Tuchel added, “We must give everything.”
