England World Cup Alan Shearer prediction David Seaman prediction Norway quarter‑final 2026 FIFA

Former England striker Alan Shearer said in a BBC column that England’s 3‑2 win over co‑hosts Mexico at the 2026 FIFA World Cup has given him confidence the team can win the tournament. He praised the performances of Jude Bellingham, Bukayo Saka and Harry Kane and joined a growing chorus of pundits who now see England as genuine contenders.

Former goalkeeper David Seaman predicted England will comfortably defeat Norway in their quarter‑final at Miami Stadium on 11 July. He highlighted England’s group‑stage recovery, knockout victories over DR Congo and Mexico, and warned they must contain Norway’s Erling Haaland, who has scored seven goals in the tournament. Seaman also lauded goalkeeper Jordan Pickford’s display against Mexico.
