John Terry urges England to stay alert against Erling Haaland in World Cup round of 16

Former England captain John Terry warned that the upcoming World Cup round‑of‑16 match against Norway will hinge largely on how England handle Erling Haaland. Haaland, who has already scored seven goals in the tournament, has propelled Norway to its first ever knockout stage. Terry advised defenders to never lose concentration, to track Haaland’s movements, and to use goalkeeper Jordan Pickford aggressively on high balls. He also highlighted Martin Ødegaard as another Norwegian threat. The match will also feature a duel between England’s Harry Kane and Haaland, with the winner advancing to the quarter‑finals.

Terry’s comments were shared on his TikTok channel, emphasizing that Haaland’s combination of power, speed and efficiency makes him a uniquely dangerous opponent.
